One Piece · Long Ring Long Land Arc

On Long Ring Long Land, an island of stretched-out land and long-bodied animals, Foxy, captain of the Foxy Pirates, challenges the crew to a Davy Back Fight: games where the winner takes crew members from the loser. In the boat race, Foxy's cheating gives him the win, and Chopper changes crews. In the Groggy Ring, Zoro and Sanji win the reindeer back. In the final duel, Foxy uses the Slow-Slow Fruit to put everything in slow motion, but Luffy beats him with help from a broken mirror. The crew wins the Foxy Pirates' flag and helps old Tonjit reunite with his people.
