Chapter 160 Long Chain Island, Yukina's Sudden Appearance!
Chapter 160 Long Chain Island, Yukina's Sudden Appearance!
Picking up where we left off, the Going Merry continues its journey to conquer the Grand Line, now back on the high seas. However, after drifting at sea for over half a month, the Straw Hat crew hasn't even encountered a single island...
Luffy, who hadn't yet encountered the island, was so bored that he kept pestering Nami for answers, only to be chased away time and time again. Meanwhile, Usopp was focused on making a new weapon, Robin was still leisurely reading books, Zoro was continuing his training, and Sanji was preparing meals as usual.
Goten and Chopper were fishing, but they fell asleep leaning against each other. Luffy, bored, called them out to play hide-and-seek, waking them up. However, in that instant, a fish took the bait, and because Goten and Chopper were stretching, the fish snatched the fishing rod away...
Luffy and his two companions were speechless for a moment upon seeing this...
This continued for nearly a month before ending with the discovery of a new island. Upon discovering the new island, Luffy immediately jumped around like a monkey. As soon as the ship docked, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper rushed onto the island without hesitation, beginning to experience this long-unseen land and the grasslands covered with grass.
Seeing this, Goten also found a comfortable patch of grass and began to enjoy the rare moment of relaxation. Zoro, seeing this, also found a soft patch of grass and began to enjoy a comfort completely different from that on the deck.
However, this tranquility was suddenly shattered by a girl falling from the sky, landing squarely on Zoro, who had just fallen asleep. Zoro was woken up before he had even been asleep for a minute. Goten heard the noise, got up, and saw...

As Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper ventured deeper into the island, they discovered that every single animal there was incredibly long—whether it was long vertically or long horizontally, it was just very long…
The three soon discovered two long bamboo poles. Luffy kicked one of them over, and an old man fell down. Chopper rescued him, and the three learned from him that the place was called Long Chain Island. The old man was a lonely old man who had been separated from his tribe because he was afraid to come down from the highest stilts.
Luffy and his friends followed the old man home, only to find the place deserted. However, the old man's white horse, Sherry, remained, deeply moved. The old man then rode Sherry at full speed, reliving the warm memories of the past...
However, the next second a gunshot rang out and Sherry fell to the ground. When Luffy and the others arrived, they found that Sherry's feet were caught in a capture net. Luffy looked in the direction of the gunshot and saw a man with a messy haircut and a hamburger-shaped mouth who looked like a gorilla, and a green-haired woman dressed in revealing clothes.
Luffy immediately shouted, "Who are you people?!"
Unexpectedly, the next second the leader of the group knelt down on the spot, seemingly suffering a huge blow. After being comforted by the other two, the three introduced themselves: "The leader of the group is Foxy, the captain of the Foxy Pirates; the hamburger-mouth next to him is his subordinate Hamburger; and the other one is Porchi."
Faced with the sudden attack from the three, Luffy was about to fight back, but was stopped by their words the next second. Foxy proposed to settle the matter with a David Challenge. Luffy didn't know what a David Challenge was, so Foxy began to explain...

Back at Goten's side, he discovered that the girl who had suddenly appeared was none other than Yukina, the girl from his dream. She was wearing a black fox mask, but Goten recognized her at a glance and promptly asked, "Yukina, what are you doing here!"
Sanji and Nami arrived at that moment. The instant Nami saw the girl, Yukina, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Aren't you the girl Goten drew?"
Yukina turned her head and said in surprise, "Aren't you Son Goten? You asked me why I'm here? Actually, a day ago, I was training when a black hole suddenly appeared and sucked me in. When I opened my eyes again, I was here. Then I met the Foxy Pirates and accepted their best-of-three David Challenge. After losing, I became one of their crew members."
Upon hearing this, Wutian asked, "What is the David Championship?"
Zoro, having recovered, explained, "The David Tournament is wagered on companions. The competitions are incredibly varied, ranging from games, music, and cooking to simple physical duels. Both sides must adhere to a series of strange rules, such as not attacking a target chosen by the referee, and the loser will have their companion taken away, until one side stops fighting or has nothing left to lose." Zoro said with a serious expression.
Goten suddenly understood, and Zoro further explained, "Once the battle for supremacy begins, there's no going back, and the only one who decides whether to fight is the captain of the ship..."
Upon hearing this, Goten couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then tell me, Yukina, how did you lose? Logically speaking, you shouldn't have been able to lose at all..."
Upon hearing this, Yukina blushed and slowly said, "They competed with me in roller skating, but I can't... I've also lost to swimming competitions..." Sanji comforted her, "Don't worry about it. Everyone has flaws. Don't worry about it."
Upon seeing this, Goten immediately declared that he would go and meet this so-called Foxy Pirates. However, the next second, two gunshots rang out in the distance, and Yukina immediately exclaimed, "Ah! This is the signal for the start of the David Conquest!"
Upon hearing the gunshot, Zoro, Sanji, and Goten immediately became excited, since there was no one else but Luffy. However, Luffy agreed not only because he wanted to have some fun, but also because the old man on stilts had accidentally fallen into Foxy's trap and lost his white horse.
In less than ten minutes, the Foxy Pirates had set up various competition venues and food stalls. Yukina wanted to join in, but because she was broke and also a member of the Foxy Pirates, she was asked to do some work...
Seeing Setsuna looking dejected and about to leave, Goten bought her one out of his own pocket, intending to show off. But Setsuna pointed to the takoyaki on the other side and said, "I want that one too..." Goten was instantly filled with question marks, but Setsuna still dragged him shopping.
Meanwhile, Nami was still blaming Luffy for agreeing to the David Challenge without consulting her, but Zoro and Sanji were already ready for the match. Zoro reassured them, "Don't worry, as long as we win all the matches, no one will leave. We still have Goten, don't we?"
Nami was just starting to feel relieved when she turned around and saw that Goten had been tricked by Setsuna into wearing the Foxy Pirates' mask. Setsuna even praised Goten for looking incredibly handsome in the mask. Upon seeing this, Nami immediately yelled at Goten, "Goten, take that mask off!"
Upon hearing this, Goten quickly removed his mask, pretending that nothing had happened...
Luffy and the others were speechless at the sight...
