Chapter 157: Shooting Oneself in the Foot

After hearing what Xiao Hei said, Lei Yi remembered the stench of the Thunder Fruit when he ate it. He never wanted to try it again.

Since he was free, Lei Yi asked again: "Xiao Hei, I have multiple abilities at the same time. There are no side effects, right? You just said that Blackbeard ate two devil fruits, but he also mutated. I won't be like that, right?"

Xiao Hei couldn't help scratching his ears, and then said again: "Meow, you are really the dumbest master I have ever seen. I don't know why the system chose you. I will say it again. Except for being a landlubber, you have no other side effects. All the abilities in your body have no side effects and can be used at will. Why don't you thank me?"

After hearing this, Lei Yi hurried to Xiao Hei and said: "Master Xiao Hei, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you now."

Xiao Hei yawned and said: "Meow, I don't need you to feed me. I'm going to take a nap now. Don't disturb me when I sleep."

Rei Yi knew that he didn't need to worry about Xiao Hei's safety, so he left here happily and gave this place to Xiao Hei.

When Rei returned to the competition venue, he found that the first round of the competition had already begun.

Rei came to everyone in the Straw Dog Pirates and said to everyone: "Sorry, everyone, I'm late."

Nami said: "Rei, you stay on the shore, and leave this game to us. I'm worried that Foxy will do something bad, so remember to pay more attention to him."

Rei was very happy after hearing this. As expected of Nami, it was great, so Rei readily agreed. It just so happened that the system did not allow him to intervene too much in the plot, so Rei was also happy to let himself be idle.

Rei asked the audience of the Foxy Pirates and learned that the rules of this game were that the two pirate groups each sent out three teams, with two to three people in each team.

Then the team selected three wooden barrels and used these three wooden barrels to make rowboats. After Rei understood the rules, he looked at his seven companions who were busy.

What Rei found most incredible was the combination of Luffy and Sanji, because Rei saw that Luffy was not sitting on a boat at all.

It was just a piece of wood, and then two oars. Rey couldn't stand such an operation. He subconsciously stepped back a few steps, wanting to stay away from Luffy. It was so embarrassing.

Rey looked at Chopper and Zoro's boat again. The power part of this boat was interesting. It was a wooden barrel as a runner. Chopper stepped on the barrel with his feet to make the barrel rotate and provide power at the same time.

It looked like a waterwheel. Looking at Nami, Robin, and Usopp's boat, it was worthy of being a combination of two girls. The boat was like a flower with three petals.

It happened that the three people sat in one position and had a paddle. After the time was up, all the participating teams went into the water. Perhaps it was because the Foxy Pirates often participated in such competitions.

The boat that the Foxy Pirates sat on was much more powerful. Whether it was practical or appearance, it was very beautiful.

Rey stood on the shore of Long Chain Island. Rey was surrounded by people from the Foxy Pirates, but this did not affect Rey's cheering for his companions.

Luffy and the others saw Rei cheering for them on the shore, and they also waved to Rei happily.

At this time, Rei discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, the participating fleet of the Foxy Pirates, all of them turned their bows to the outside.

As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Rei felt something was wrong, so he pointed to those ships to Nami. Nami was careful and had hostility towards the people of the Foxy Pirates.

So Nami also looked back. With her intelligence as a navigator, Nami also quickly discovered that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was going on, so Nami said to Luffy and Sanji:

"Look, you two, there is something wrong with the fleet of the Foxy Pirates. Their bows are all facing the outside. Since it is a rowing competition, shouldn't it be the same as ours?"

Luffy also saw it, but he didn't think there was anything wrong. His carefree personality was once again reflected at this time.

When Luffy and others were puzzled, they suddenly felt that the sky had darkened. It was originally a sunny and beautiful day, and Luffy and others thought it was going to rain.

Usopp suddenly shouted: "Look, what is this? The people of the Straw Dog Pirates all looked over and saw a giant barrel ship appearing in their sight."

"Aren't you cheating? Such a big barrel?"

"Didn't I say it at the beginning? Each fleet chooses a group of barrels. You just didn't see this big barrel. How can you blame us, hahahaha."

Nami was speechless for a while, but there was no way to do it now. She could only give it a try. Ray looked at this super-large barrel ship and thought to himself whether his swordsmanship could smash this barrel.

There was a signal gunshot, and the referee sat on the huge bird and announced the start of the game. As expected, there was really a monster, and the Foxy Pirates team quickly left here.

Rei also saw a member of the Foxy Pirates who looked like a fish jump into the water and act as the power source of the boat.

Rei's eyes twitched uncontrollably when he saw this operation, and he cursed in his heart: "Damn, this works too."

Until now, before the first match officially started, Ray felt deeply the hateful words from the Foxy Pirates, but he was powerless to refute them, so he could only wait and see how things would develop next.

The match officially started, and just as Luffy and others' boat was about to slide, the Foxy crew members on the huge wooden barrel behind laughed and turned the valve with great effort.

At this time, the gate of a huge wooden barrel was opened, and a large amount of water began to gush out. Because the amount of water was large, a large wave was formed as soon as the water valve was opened, which made the three small boats start to sway.

Ray also saw that among these small boats, many sealed wooden barrels also came out. Luffy was curious and hammered one of the wooden barrels with his hand.

As the sharpshooter of the Straw Dog Pirates, Usopp was very familiar with this hot weapon, and his intuition told him that these wooden barrels were not simple.

But before Usopp could stop Luffy, Luffy's hand touched the wooden barrel, and the wooden barrel suddenly exploded. The huge explosion made Luffy scream in pain.

Fortunately, the distance was far and no damage was caused to their ship.
