Summary:
Luffy continues to fight Foxy with the odds not in his favor and the fight continues inside Foxy’s ship as Luffy doesn’t understand Foxy’s disguises.
Luffy survives Foxy’s face bombs, much to the commentator’s shock. So Foxy creates fake wooden replicas of him. Due to the smoke, Luffy has a hard time distinguishing the real Foxy from the others. So Luffy insults Foxy and makes him bow. Luffy can then attack him.
Foxy uses a trapdoor that takes Luffy out of bounds and into the ocean. However, Luffy manages to intercept the ship and narrowly avoids falling into the ocean. Foxy then locks Luffy in a room, then equips the outdoor floor with spikes; Luffy would have broken through the door but fell into the deadly spikes. However, Luffy uses the cannon to break down the door instead.
Foxy locks herself in the nurse’s room. She then disguises herself as a nurse. He manages to hit Luffy before running away. His second disguise as a chef also allows him to attack Luffy with another Kyubi Rush. This move will send Luffy flying into another room.
In this room is a machine called the Gorilla Puncher 13, a wall covered in burning boxing gloves. Additionally, this area has a mirror that allows Foxy’s Noro Noro Beam to be reflected. So Luffy breaks the mirror, then jumps up and punches Foxy. Foxy, in retaliation, successfully attacks Luffy with the Gorilla Puncher.
Foxy goes on deck to celebrate his victory. However, Luffy manages to get up. Foxy hits Luffy with two more Kyubi Rushes, but Luffy stands up and says that he will protect his nakama even if it means death.
