Luffy, Usopp, Tony Tony Chopper ### Summary Page 5: The referee approaches Zoro, pointing a finger at him, "Hey, you!! It's against the rules to use weapons. Put them away! That's right. This is a competition of balling skills. No weapons allowed." Zoro replies nonchalantly, "Eh? Really? Fine. No weapon. Not like it matters at all." He removes his swords and cracks his knuckles with a loud "GOCHIN!! (SMASH)" sound effect. Sanji mocks him, "Are you sure you'll be alright? A swordsman without a sword is... better than you, sandbag." Zoro glares, "Yeah?" Sanji gets angry, kicking the air, "Stop messing around! Don't make me go out there!!!" The announcer declares, "The preparations have been completed. The ball of Team Straw Hat is finally in position." The crowd cheers wildly, "YEEAAH------". Big Pan looms over Sanji, casting a large shadow, "Hey, chef, let us stomp you flat, okay?" Sanji retorts defiantly, "Go to hell!" Page 6: The crowd's cheering intensifies as the match is about to begin. "The cheer from the audience intensifies!!!" "Smash them, Big Bang!!" "Pickle, send them flying!!" "Make hamburgers out of them, Hambog!!!" Big Pan says to his teammates, "Big Bang, let's finish this in lightning speed." Hamburg laughs, "Hihihi, you're really... Hihi-hih! Listen up. Hihihi. The captain is also hihihi!" Big Pan looks confused, "Huh?" Pickles also looks confused, "Huh? Pufufufufuf. Pufufufuf, he didn't hear again!" The announcer notes the bizarre behavior, "The Groggy Monsters are laughing for no apparent reason again." Page 7: The announcer continues to hype the crowd, "Will they win, again, with this cheerful attitude. No time limit. One point wins the game!!" Zoro crouches low to the ground, analyzing the situation and formulating a plan, "I see. So if I throw that big guy... into the ring on the other side, I win. I lose if the chef's head falls into my buoy." The announcer shouts, "Will the reindeer lost in the first round?! Or will the Straw Hat keep losing crews? The intense Groggy Ring is starting right now!!!" The crowd screams in anticipation, "Yaha, smash them!!" Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper watch intently from the sidelines. The referee fires a starting gun into the air with a loud "WAAAAAH--" sound effect. "READY---!!! BEGIN-----!!!!"
