AN:- I AM TRAVELING IN TRAIN RIGHT NOW, SO I AM NOT ABLE TO PROERLY CREATE A CHAPTER, BUT I AM EXCITED FOR WHEN I WRITE MOVIE 6, SINCE I WILL ACTUALLY TRY TO FIX SOME OF THE CHARACTER'S ISSUES. ANYWAYS, HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE CHAPTER 32.

[PREVIOUSLY ON GAMER PIECE]

"w-well, you DID win after all. so, who are you gonna choose? Gina? She is a Shipwright, something you guys do need. you want Big Pan, he is a Wonton, a Hybrid between Giants and Fishmen. that's-"

"The Crewmate We want is- YOU Foxy!-"

"WHAT!!" Porche, The Gorilla and all the other Foxy Pirates shout in surprise, while Foxy turns from shock to ecstatic.

"Fefefe~! I know you guys will know my worth-"I should have let him hype himself up, but I don't see the point in letting him do so.

"Well, you are not part of the MAIN Crew, but part of the Grand Fleet, now come here, i gotta tell you some important stuff." he looks dumbfounded. I put my arm around him and pulled him to the side to explain how the Grand Fleet works.

While logically, I should tell him information AFTER the Davy Back Fight is over, I am 100% confident we will win this. Plus, Making Foxy already included in my plan would be useful in the long run, as it would make him trust me faster.

everything needs to go as it is intended by my Kikaku!

"So, here is what you need to do-" Foxy looks incredulously at me, while I explain what he needs to do. I gave him the contact information of the other Grand Fleet members, so that they could communicate properly.

while Foxy shouldn't be trusted normally, his Status Screen says something differently-

Foxy the Silver Fox

Lv - ??? 

Species - Human

HP - ???

STR:- ???

VIT (HP):- ???

DEX (AGI):- ???

INT:- 140

WIS:- 120

LUK:- 25

Devil Fruit - Noro Noro No Mi

Foxy is the Newest Member of The StrawHat Grand Fleet. he used to be a Boxer but his License was revoked due to him doing an Illegal Move. He became a Pirate After Learning about the Davy Back Fight, and Completely Respects The Rules That are Put in Place to decide the outcome.

Emotions:- Anxious, Excited.

The fact that it is stated that he respects the Rules of Davy Back fight while Being slippery enough to do things off the book, but still NOT illegal, makes Foxy somewhat dependable. but to me, he is as dependable as Aokiji, but he is gonna be useful regardless.

"Uhh, Well. It seems that Captain Foxy has gone to the other crew. but, let's start The next Event, The Groggy Ring!" I turn to look at Itomimizu who is flying on a bird named Chuchun. They also have the same get-up. Zoro and Sanji look at me, and I nod.

all three of us walk towards the Ring, where we meet the other three Contestants. The gorilla, a big dude named Pickles who is a large, husky man that typically wears green schemed clothes. He has long arms and short legs in comparison to his body. He also has a hippo-like face. On his shoulders, he wears round shoulder pauldrons. 

Lastly, a Wotan (Hybrid between Giants and Fishmen) Named Big Pan who towers over the other Foxy Pirates. From his fish-man half, he has slippery mudfish skin, sharp teeth, and an orange dorsal fin. From his giant half, he has orange hair and beard, and incredible size. 

"So, who is gonna wear the Ball?" Sanji exhales Smoke when asking the question, and now that I think about it, why the hell is he always speaking AFTER exhaling smoke? Why can't he talk BEFORE exhaling smoke? a thought process to follow indeed-

"Not me, but you would look good in it!" Zoro makes a sarcastic remark, causing Sanji to get angry and comment back. This starts a fight between the two, and I sigh. I look over to the figurative and literal Giants, and get an idea.

 "Well, you both can decide who is gonna wear the ball, since you guys aren't fighting anyways." Both Sanji and Zero look at me in confusion, before both of them realize what I am saying.

""OH HELL NAH-"" 

"YOU guys always Fight the second and third strongest all the time, let me fight now.!" Both of them look surprised, since I never intended to fight the strongest of any group till now. They can 'feel' that the gorilla, Egg head and a Wuton are the strongest Of the Foxy Pirates.

"Well, of course I do, since I am the strongest AFTER Luffy after all!" Zoro has a cocky smirk which makes Sanji get absolutely pissed off.

"Oi Mosshead, you imply that I always fight the third strongest?" A fire gets lit under Sanji's eye, challenging Zoro. and When Zoro is gonna say yes, I answer before him.

"Your track Record with fighting enemies DO Support it, not our fault you always Fought the third strongest!" I have an amused smirk on my face, liking the fact that I am irritating Sanji. maybe this is why Zoro shits on Sanji, his reactions are amusing to watch.

"Oh yeah? what about Bentham-" Sanji tries to come up with a counter-argument but-

"I fought Smoker-" Zoro easily rebukes that. but i ain't letting Zoro get a win though.

"And didn't win, don't forget that!" Zoro gives me the stink eye, which I respond with my grin.

"Oh please, you have no right to say anything. you haven't even defeated anyone significant-" Zoro tries to mock me over the fact that i have not fought against anyone significant.

"like you Won against Mihawk or Zephyr?" Zoro quiets down, glaring at me. no one can out-talk me in terms of roasting, and Zoro, who is normally the person who is roasted by everyone, doesn't have a chance against me.

"Well, I did defeat the second strongest Fishmen, so that's a point to me." Sanji folded his hand, looking confident. Zoro raises his finger to correct Sanji, but he puts his hand down after realizing that Comparing Hatchan to Kuroobi is not a nice reflection.

"yeah yeah, the best feat you have is getting your ass kicked by an old ass man!" Zoro Scoffs, not realizing the irony of what he just told. Sanji scoffs to, but before he can answer-

"Like your track record is different. your biggest achievement is that Scar on your chest, AND getting your ass Kicked by an old ass man." I try to mimic Zoro's tone while telling the last sentence. He glares at me, while Sanji giggles like an idiot.

"Yeah, like you were any better-" Oh hell nah, he did NOT just say that!

"Of Course i was much better. without me, your ass would have been planted to the ground. i did much better against Zephyr than you or anyone else other than Luffy-"

"CAN YOU FUCKERS STOP ARGUING AND GET ON WITH IT ALREADY?" Usopp screams his lungs out, causing us to turn to him, scaring the shit out of him. we all breathe out, noticing how heated we were getting when comparing each other's feats. I walk ahead, tossing the ball towards Zoro.

"Don't care anymore, I'll deal with these Midgets, while you guys continue wanking eaching other off!" I walk towards the line, hearing Sanji and Zoro "Tsk" which then causes them to start fighting against each other since they said the same words.

"Ohhhh! well, a Small guy is coming~" the Wotan, big Pan Comments with a grin, showing his fishmen-esqe teeth. I look at him in annoyance.

"I am taller than everyone in the crew, dumbass!" I speak up, making the other two Giants giggle. 

"It doesn't matter, since everyone is small for him!" The Gorilla continues giggling while taking an iron club from his underwear. I noticed the referee looking the other way, so I decided to have some fun.

"You are trying to overcompensate with the iron club since you don't have anything that needs protection from your Underwear right?" The Gorilla's face turns from joy to anger, his embarrassment reaching its peak.

"YOU-"

I use Soru to arrive right in front of the gorilla, using <ONE-MAN ARMY> to get a 50% boost (counting those who are inside of the ground), and using <MARTIAL REINFORCEMENT> along with Giant's strength and throw a punch-

"Womp Womp Bitch!"

*BAM*

*BOOM*

a Sonic Boom occurs, hitting the Gorilla in the cheat. with the power that impacted him,. he gets sent flying out of the stadium, his internal bones broken and him getting knocked out. i use Soru once again, coming in front Of Pickles, throwing a punch right at his face-

*BAM*

*BOOM*

which makes him get hit with a sonic boom, sending him flying. I Jump upward, reaching the same height as Big Pan. i use Geppo, kicking the air and rushing towards The Half-Giant with my hand cocked back-

"Womp Womp Punch-"

*BAM*

*BOOM*

I threw the punch at his face, with the most random name that came to me. the Half-Giant gets the impact of the attack, pushing his head backwards and pushing his body down-

right in the goal post-

*BOOM*

slamming his head inside of it, making us the winner of this Round. I landed on the ground, turning to see the Surprised Expression of everyone, including my Crew. Luffy grins widely, laughing his ass off. Zoro chuckles, looking excited for some odd reason. Sanji sweat-drops, exhaling the smoke, not believing just how powerful I had gotten.

Every member of the EX- Foxy Pirates looked on in horror, regretting ever trying to pick a fight with us. Foxy looks aesthetic, looking like this is the best thing that happened to him. I go to the crew, where Luffy shakes my shoulders, proud of me. Chopper and Usopp hound me on how i did it-

"Well, after seeing Luffy's "GIANT" Attacks, i started to figure out a way to somewhat replicate that. i call it 'Giant Strength'." Chopper looks awed, but Usopp looks conflicted. I ignore it, deciding to let it happen, as it is one of the integral parts of his character.

where he gets his ass whooped and understands that he is not what he thinks himself to be, and that it is okay to not be that person. Sanji said it best in canon "there are some things you CAN do, there are some things you CANNOT do."

"well, now that we won this round, it is time for Round 3-"

""We give up!"" All the Ex-Foxy Pirates say at the same time, falling into the ground and bowing to us, giving their honor up. Luffy Looks conflicted, since he didn't want this. I sigh, looking at Luffy, who looks at me in annoyance. i shrug at him, and he turns to look at them and-

"Stop it!" Every Ex-Foxy Pirates look at Luffy, who looks angry.

"I don't want anything anymore, you can take your Fox back if you want-" I Stop Luffy before he says something. While Luffy can be free-spirited, not all of us can be, so I need to Make sure I can use resources So that I could save his Own Brother.

"Luffy, calm down. this isn't-" Luffy interrupts me before I can try and convince him.

"I don't like this Rai." He stares at me, and I sigh.

"I Know Luffy, I Know. That is why I am dealing with this. All you have to do is accept them in the Grand Fleet, and I will figure out what to do with them." Luffy continues to stare at me.

"Why do you want this?" Luffy asks me seriously, and well. I haven't told anyone WHY I am making a Grand Fleet. While I cannot tell the true reason (That is saving Ace), I can give another convincing reason.

"because I need information. I Use The members of the Grand Fleet to collect information that is credible, rather than the one which the World Government gives to the public." Luffy looks annoyed at the wordings, but I continue on.

"I need to make sure that the path we are traveling on is secure, and if it isn't, I need to make sure we have an escape plan. I can't just let you guys go in blindly without guaranteeing that we will either win or Successfully escape." his glare disappears, and he nods, understanding. I gave a grin, trying to diffuse the tension that was building.

"Well, you DID make me the Strategist, so I kinda have to create Strategies, for which, I need information." Luffy nods in understanding, and turns to the EX-Foxy Pirates.

"So, you guys will- Che! you deal with them!" Luffy turns and walks back to the stalls, giving me the responsibility to organize the people. They all look at me, and I turn to Foxy, who is also walking together with the rest of the crew.

"Oi, get your ass here Foxy!" I call out to him, causing him to stop and turn to me with a sheepish look. He walks back to me while I look at the New members of the Grand Fleet.

"So, Your Leader OR Captain, whatever you wanna call him, is gonna be Foxy. I will personally give him instructions on what needs to be done, and you are gonna follow everything he says. IF anyone has any objections, they can stand up!" The moment I said this, more than 100 members stood up, trying to voice their concerns.

"You guys can leave. Anyone who is not interested in listening to me or Foxy can leave. BUT, you guys don't get Anything." it seems that all the 100 people who raised objections didn't want to listen to me, so they left, going god knows where.

There are another 100 people who, while not showing Objections, do stand up and leave. leaving 300 Members including Foxy who wishes to stay, which was honestly a lot in my opinion. but, it would be easier.

"So, with you guys on board, here is what is gonna happen-" with No objections, I continue on, explaining what they need to do. Their primary objective is to continue on Collecting crew Members, while I create 3 Commander who have 100 people each within their rule. they will connect with Foxy, who will really follow my orders.

The Commanders have 20 Vice-Commanders, with Each Vice-Commanders having 5 members under their control. This is basically a hierarchy, but they still follow it. Their second Objective is to collect any type of information they can, while the commanders filter it out and give it to Foxy, who presents it to me.

Foxy likes the idea, while he is hesitant to follow orders, knowing that he doesn't have to focus on the entire crew is somewhat relieving. Not only that, Commanders and Vice Commanders also feel like they are important, while the normal members don't have to worry about many things.

With the Foxy Crew Putting our Flag on their Ship, they leave to collect Information, Contact the other members of the Grand Fleet, and Primarily collect new Members.

I come back to the stall, where I meet an old man named Tonjit, an elderly man, with wrinkles and a round white beard. He has small round eyes, a round nose, and is missing one tooth. He has a purple-brown hat, with brown fur lining, and brown cloth on the sides. He has a beautiful White Horse Named Shelly, who has a long neck and long legs.

when talking to him and the horse, the ground shakes a little, and from it, a Giant Rat-Like being, which is a mole. i notice that it looks familiar, and when i try to remember, i recognise it as a mole from a cover-story involving Gedatsu-

wait a second. Since Gedatsu is dead, what the hell would happen to that Cover story?..... Well, now that I try to remember, all that Cover story gives is a Hot-Spring to Alabasta. Honestly, Not that important I guess?

The mole opens up, revealing a person who is Tonjit's grandson, named Rittonto. He has long, brown hair with a round nose and a chubby stomach. He wears a helmet, black armbands with a red strip that only covers his upper arms, gray pants and a belt that has a large gold buckle. He also wears black boots with red and white striped socks.

Rittonto takes His Grandpa away, making me remember something. wasn't this where Aokiji was supposed to be? why isn't he here-

"Well, Let's GO!" Luffy commands us to leave the island, but my concern over it is not yet gone. If I remember correctly, Aokiji might be on some other island, and IF Possible, we Might be able to escape him.

We all boarded the Ship which I summoned back, leaving the island. after traveling, we notice that it is falling dark, so all of us decide to sleep-

except ME and Robin. Robin doesn't sleep since she wants to read some books, while I am in charge of Watching the Ship this week. I sit on the chair that Robin Usually sits on, thinking about How to deal with Aokiji. Aokiji is the biggest threat i would face, and If anything went wrong, he would have no reason to spare us-

even If Luffy has connections to Garp, the timeline is already fucked up for me to not be confident in it anymore. hell, for all i know, we don't even need to fight against CP9, Since MAYBE Robin has found the will to live. that would change everything i know, so i cannot really do anything until i wait and properly Strategize-

my Map pings, notifying me of someone close to us. I activated Observation Haki, feeling the presence of a kid. i 'disappear', appearing behind the kid and grabbing his Throat, lifting him up and turning him towards me. The kid's Name is Drim, who has a weird cap with blue hair, and a weird coat. He holds his hand on me, and I notice something interesting.

A seahorse.

"L-Leave Me!" he kicks my face, but I just let him do that, more focused on the SeaHorse in the kid's hand.

Noko

Lv 41

Species - SeaHorse

HP - 300

STR - 30

VIT (HP):- ???

DEX (AGI):- ???

INT:- 140

WIS:- 120

LUK:- 25

Devil Fruit - Nemu Nemu No Mi

Noko is a SeaHorse that dreams of becoming a Millennium Dragon, and so it absorbs Other people's memories in hopes of becoming Big enough to be One. it has taken Mind Control over Drim, making the kid do his bidding.

well, would you look at that? I snatched the SeaHorse from the kid, putting him down on the ground and knocking him out with a chop to the neck. Using this, the Sea Horse named Noko emits a small Hypnotic wave at me using its devil fruit.

HYPNOSIS HAS BEEN REJECTED

but i just raise my eyebrows, amused at what this little sea horse is trying to do. I leave the kid on the ground while I 'teleport' back to the ship, right near the Tangerine Trees. i look at the Sea Horse once again, while it looks horrified-

*CRACK*

cracking its neck, killing it. I just don't see the point of letting the SeaHorse have a devil fruit when I could keep it. With the seaHorse dead, the nearest Tangerine Morphs into a weird shape, resembling a devil fruit. i pick it up, using observe on it-

Nemu Nemu No Mi (Sleep Sleep Fruit)

Type - Paramecia

This fruit allows the user to trap people inside a dream world while they are asleep. Inside the dream world, the user can steal people's memories to power up. The user can also manipulate the dream world using the stolen memories, as well as take control of someone in the dream world.

That's...interesting.

Now, should I eat this? I try to think of a proper way to use this, BUT I cannot. What is the point of putting people to sleep and getting power from it if it can be countered by people with Stronger wills? Not only that, it is not helping me offensively, and I also don't need it since it would negatively affect my skill set.

I threw the fruit into the inventory, deciding to think about this later.

The next day, we continue Sailing, but Luffy is extremely hungry. so, We stop at an Island where Sanji prepares a Barbeque, where we decide to go into the island to get some herbs as Chopper needs to stock up on some.

"huh? What are these Bicycle Marks?" I turn to where Sanji is pointing, and my Heart drops. My brain calms itself, and i use Observation Haki, interacting with my Map-

.....i decided to stay silent, since even if i say anything, it is pointless.

Aisa pulls my pants down in horror, meaning that she also sensed what I sensed. I ruffle her hair, giving her a confident grin, which makes her calm down instantly. Sanji, noticing this, asks what happened.

"Well, Admiral Aokiji is here." Everyone's (Except Luffy and Wyper's) eyes widen. Robin's starts wobbling, before she leans backward, falling-

I immediately grabbed onto her waist, looking at her panicked Face.

"Robin, Calm down!" I try to make her calm even though I know it is futile. Everyone surrounds Robin and Me, trying to ask what is happening.

"Ao-Aokiji is-"

"He already knows we are here, there is no point in running." This makes Robin Panic even more. Chopper turns to his human Form and checks Robin. Thankfully she hasn't had a heart attack, but this is still a problem.

"Are you serious?" Zoro looks inside the jungle, him clutching his swords. I nod. Luffy looks confused, so he asks.

"Who is this Aokiki you guys are talking about?" while all the others are somewhat panicking, Luffy and Wyper look confused. Wyper notices Aisa grabbing onto my Knee, and realizes that She senses how powerful this dude is, and to the point of terrifying Aisa, means that this Person is either equal to, or stronger than Luffy.

"Admiral Aokiji is one of the powerhouses of the Marines-" I interrupt Usopp who is shaking his legs, but is brave enough to explain who Aokiji is.

"Aokiji is One of your Grandpa's disciples. we are gonna be meeting someone at the same Caliber as your Grandpa or stronger." Luffy's eyes pop out of his skill, while All of the crew stare at me in shock.

"MEET?? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOU-"

"YES! MEET! We have no other option. He knows we are here, he knows that we know he is here. IF we try to escape, and that is if he lets us, he could potentially follow us." All of them start panicking, except Zoro, Luffy and Wyper.

"Then we-"

"Zoro, Don't finish that. i swear to everything i know, he will absolutely fuck us up, and i am NOT kidding. he will fuck us up more than what Zephyr fucked us up! Let me deal with it!" HE looks at me in surprise, but then Looks at Luffy.

I look at Luffy, who takes a look at me and The Panicking Robin. What I am basically asking him to do is let me take the Captaincy from him for a little bit. without thinking, Luffy nods. 

"Wa-Wait, we gotta-" Robin tries to get us out of here, but I look at her in pity, knowing just how affected by this she is.

"We have no other choice, we GOTTA do this!" I grab Robin's hand and squeeze it in comfort, taking her with me while I lead everyone to where Aokiji is. Aisa still doesn't let go of my leg, but I don't say anything.

"Rai Please! you don-" Robin tries to convince me, but i stay resolute.

"Trust me Robin, Trust me. I know what I am doing!" I gave her the most reassuring grin, not only to her, but to all of my crewmates, not wanting them to worry. they nod, but Robin still is Panicking. Eventually, we come to a clearing with what looks to be a mushroom growing from a rock. 

"....Hello there Mr Kuzan." I speak up, talking to air. for a few seconds, nothing is heard. Robin tries to pull me away, her eyes pleading, but she Freezes when a voice is heard.

"...Hello to you too, Rai Adam." 

THE END
