Dragon Ball: Super Goten

Chapter 162 Zoro and Sanji, Round 2 with one person missing!

Picking up where we left off, the three of them, Goten and his companions, returned to shore. Faced with questions from the others, they were also incredulous. At this moment, Foxy began to boast triumphantly, "Aren't you surprised? That's right, watch closely!" With that, Foxy ordered his men to fire cannonballs at him and shouted, "Slowing Ray!" The cannonballs, after being hit by the ray, became unusually slow.

Foxy continued to boast, "This is my Slowing Ray. If you get hit by it, you won't recover from the stun state for thirty seconds, ahahaha..." Goten calculated the time, and it was exactly thirty seconds since the cannonball was fully restored. However, the smug Foxy was still standing there, and as a result, he was hit squarely by the cannonball the next second...

Seeing this, the Straw Hat crew couldn't help but exclaim, "Idiots..." However, this couldn't change the fact that the Straw Hat crew had lost. So, when it was time for the opponent to choose a member from the Straw Hat crew, Foxy pointed directly at Chopper without hesitation and said, "Then I'll take that reindeer!"

Chopper was forcibly dragged away and forced to wear the other person's mask. He immediately burst into tears and said, "No, I don't want to be your crewmate! I chose to become a pirate because of Luffy! I don't want to be separated from Luffy!"

Seeing Chopper crying, Nami couldn't help but worry, and Usopp also seemed a little flustered. However, the next second, Goten roared at Chopper, "Shut up, Chopper! You're acting like a complete coward! The match isn't over yet. Don't you trust your comrades anymore? Just wait quietly until the end. We'll win the next match, so just wait patiently until then..."

Upon hearing this, Chopper immediately stopped crying and said with great effort, "Alright then, I'll stay quiet!" Seeing this, the Straw Hat crew relaxed and rubbed their hands together, preparing for the next match...

The Straw Hat crew, who were immediately preparing for the second round, suddenly realized that due to Chopper's departure, only Zoro and Sanji would be left to fight. It was then that the Straw Hat crew realized another disadvantage of their opponent choosing Chopper...

Since the selection cannot be changed once it is finalized, the second round can only be between Sanji and Zoro. Goten is watching Foxy, ready to intervene if he gets in the way, but Foxy says, "Just stay put. I won't interfere this round. You've already lost one contestant anyway."

Seeing Foxy's expression, Goten remained on guard. After all, given Foxy's nature, it was impossible for him not to pull some tricks. After thinking for three seconds, Goten had a flash of inspiration and whispered some instructions to Nami...

The second round of the competition was called "groggy-ring." The rules were simple: one person wore a baseball cap, and the goal was to get the cap, which represented the ball, into a designated circle. Weapons were not allowed. So when Zoro put down his sword, Sanji immediately mocked him, "A swordsman without a sword... isn't he just trash?" Upon hearing this, Zoro and Sanji immediately engaged in a fierce battle...

After Nami finally managed to scold him and stop, when it came time to choose who would be the ball, Zoro simply gave the honor to Sanji. Upon seeing this, Sanji immediately objected, and Nami could only praise him, saying, "Sanji-kun, you look just like a prince with that hat on!"

Upon hearing this, Sanji immediately volunteered to be the ball, to which Zoro bluntly retorted, "He really does look like a prince, from the Kingdom of Idiots..." Sanji's words immediately sparked another fierce battle...

The two stopped fighting when the Foxy Pirates' contestants appeared. Three burly men stepped off the Foxy Pirates' ship one after another: "Hamburger, the four-legged speedster; Piculus, known as the Interceptor; and the fish-man and giant combination, the fish-giant Piculus." The fish-giant Piculus was the ball.

The host excitedly introduced, "These three have never lost to anyone in the groggy-ring competition; they're known as the Rock Monsters!"

Looking at the vastly different sizes of the two opponents, Usopp couldn't help but have the illusion that he was about to lose, while Goten remained unusually calm, after all, Zoro and Sanji's strength was absolutely not going to allow them to lose...

The match officially began, but just a moment later, Zoro and Sanji acted without any coordination. Sanji charged directly at the fish giant Bikupanda, but he didn't expect that the opponent's body was unusually slippery. The moment they made contact, Sanji lost the initiative because his foot slipped.

Seeing this, Hamburger immediately jumped up and slapped Sanji away. Zoro immediately went back to defend, but was knocked away by Piccolo. In the air, Sanji was caught up by Hamburger and grabbed tightly. Just when it looked like he was about to be sent into the goal, Zoro finally came to his senses, grabbed Piccolo's leg, and used brute force to throw him towards Hamburger. At the same time, Sanji also countered in time, kicking Hamburger in the face to break free, thus averting disaster...

Having barely escaped the crisis, the two started fighting amongst themselves the next second, completely disregarding that the match wasn't over yet. Usopp was so angry that he immediately scolded them, "Damn it, the match isn't over yet!"

However, at that moment, the fish giant Bikupanda raised his huge foot and stomped directly at Zoro and Sanji. After the two dodged, they immediately began to run away in all directions. Seeing this, Usopp couldn't help but scold, "Why are you dodging? Isn't that thing a ball?"

Upon hearing this, Goten immediately said to Usopp, "Usopp, look at the soles of that guy's feet..."

Upon hearing this, Usopp looked and discovered that the fish giant Bikupanda had a deadly weapon hidden under his feet. Usopp immediately reported this to the referee, but the referee pretended not to see it, which infuriated Usopp.

Goten then said to the referee, "Hey, you dropped something."

Upon hearing this, the referee looked down at the ground and found nothing. Goten, seeing this, immediately mocked, "Your eyes and conscience have disappeared, otherwise how could you not see the person who committed the foul..."

Upon hearing this, the referee immediately pulled out a yellow card to warn Goten for daring to insult the referee. Goten simply smiled dismissively and continued watching the game...

When Hamburger and Piculus re-entered the match, they stopped pretending altogether. Hamburger immediately donned iron fist gloves and iron elbows, while Piculus swapped his for spiked shoulder pads. Despite the three of them not even bothering to put on an act, the referee still calmly pretended not to see anything...

Even Setsuna couldn't stand this shameless behavior and shouted, "This is too much! At least tone it down, you bastard!" Foxy retorted, "Too much? What's too much? It's just that the referee didn't see it..."

Usopp and Luffy were so angry they were ready to punch the referee, but Goten stopped them. They looked at Goten, who calmly said, "Don't worry. We just need to keep watching until the end before Zoro and Sanji ask for help."

After calming Luffy and Usopp down, Goten shouted to Zoro and Sanji in the match, "Listen up, you two! If you can't hold on any longer, just let us know, and we'll be happy to lend a hand!"

Upon hearing this, Zoro and Sanji retorted in unison to Goten, roaring, "Who needs your help? I can handle this kind of trash by myself!"

Seeing this, the Straw Hat crew felt relieved and stayed put. Meanwhile, Chopper, who was being held by Setsuna, also quieted down and silently watched the match unfold.
