The air on the deck of the Thousand Sunny was heavy with a suffocating sense of despair. The Straw Hat crew, once filled with unshakable optimism and hope, now stood on the edge of ruin. One by one, they had lost their friends to Foxy, each falling under the sinister control of his mind-controlling machine. Zoro, Sanji, Nami, and now Usopp had all been claimed by Foxy, and with each loss, the weight on Luffy’s shoulders grew heavier.
Chopper, their beloved doctor, was the next to step up, his tiny form trembling with a mixture of fear and resolve. He glanced at Luffy, who stood with his fists clenched, his eyes filled with a desperate determination.
"Luffy," Chopper whispered, his voice shaking. "I… I’m scared. What if I fail?"
Luffy knelt down beside Chopper, placing a firm hand on his shoulder. "You won’t fail, Chopper. We’re all counting on you. You’re strong—stronger than you think."
Chopper’s eyes were wide with tears, but he nodded, swallowing his fear. "I’ll do my best."
The Straw Hats watched in tense silence as Chopper prepared for the next challenge: a race through a dangerous obstacle course. It was a test of agility, strength, and quick thinking—perfect for Chopper’s many forms. But with Foxy’s tricks and the presence of their brainwashed crewmates on the sidelines, the challenge seemed impossible.

The Battle Begins: Chopper’s Race
The whistle blew, and Chopper took off, shifting between his various forms to navigate the course. His small reindeer form allowed him to slip through tight spaces, while his larger, more powerful form smashed through obstacles with brute strength. For a moment, hope flickered in the hearts of the remaining Straw Hats. Maybe—just maybe—they could win this time.
But Foxy was never one to play fair.
From the sidelines, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, and Usopp stood with smug grins, watching as Chopper raced against one of Foxy’s fastest crewmembers—a lithe, agile woman named Porche. She moved like the wind, dodging obstacles with ease, her laughter ringing out as she darted ahead of Chopper.
"Come on, Chopper!" Luffy shouted, his voice filled with urgency. "You can do it!"
But Zoro’s mocking voice cut through the air, cold and sharp. "Do you really think he stands a chance, Luffy?"
Luffy’s eyes flicked toward Zoro, anger flaring in his chest. "Shut up, Zoro! He’s still our crewmate!"
Zoro chuckled, crossing his arms as he leaned casually against the railing. "Not for long. Captain Foxy’s already won. Chopper’s just delaying the inevitable."
Sanji smirked, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "It’s pathetic, really. They keep trying, but they don’t realize how pointless it all is."
Nami, standing proudly beside Foxy, shook her head with a sigh. "Why can’t they just accept it? Why keep fighting when they know they can’t win? Foxy’s already shown them his strength. They’re only making it harder on themselves."
Usopp, now fully devoted to Foxy, laughed from behind them. "Chopper should just give up now. The sooner he realizes how great Foxy is, the better."
Chopper, hearing their words, felt his heart sink. His legs moved as fast as they could, but the weight of his friends’ betrayal was almost too much to bear. He could still hear their voices, their taunts echoing in his mind.
"Why do they sound like that?" Chopper whispered to himself, tears blurring his vision. "Why are they saying those things? They’re my friends…"
But no matter how hard Chopper pushed himself, Porche was always one step ahead. And with Foxy’s Noro Noro Beam slowing him down at key moments, the gap between them only widened.

The Taunting Intensifies
From the sidelines, the brainwashed Straw Hats continued their barrage of mockery.
"You’re too slow, Chopper!" Zoro called out, his voice dripping with disdain. "You were never cut out for this. You’re weak. You’ve always been weak."
Sanji chuckled, lighting a cigarette as he watched Chopper struggle. "Just give up, Chopper. You can’t win. Foxy’s too smart, too powerful. It’s time you accepted that."
Nami shook her head, her eyes filled with pity. "Poor Chopper. He’s fighting so hard for nothing. If only he could see the truth."
Usopp leaned against the railing, a smug grin on his face. "He’ll see it soon enough. They all will. Foxy’s the only one who matters."
Every word felt like a dagger in Chopper’s heart, and as the race wore on, the weight of their words began to crush his spirit. His legs felt heavy, his breathing labored, and no matter how many times he shifted into his different forms, he couldn’t close the distance between him and Porche.

Chopper’s Defeat
At the final stretch, Foxy used his Noro Noro Beam one last time, freezing Chopper in place just as he was about to make his final move. Porche sped ahead, crossing the finish line with ease.
The Foxy Pirates erupted into cheers, and Foxy himself let out a triumphant laugh. "Another victory for me! Looks like the Straw Hats are down one more crewmember."
Chopper collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily, his small body trembling with exhaustion. "I… I’m sorry, Luffy. I tried… but I couldn’t…"
Luffy’s heart sank as he watched Chopper, his last hope, crumble in defeat. "Chopper…"
Before anyone could react, Foxy’s crew descended upon Chopper, grabbing him by the arms and dragging him toward the mind-control machine. Chopper struggled weakly, his eyes wide with fear.
"No! I don’t want to serve Foxy!" Chopper cried, tears streaming down his face. "Please! I don’t want to lose myself!"
But the machine whirred to life, its metallic arms clamping around Chopper’s head. The familiar buzzing sound filled the air as the mind-control process began.

Chopper’s Brainwashing
Chopper’s body trembled as the energy from the machine pulsed through him, sending waves of control into his mind. His memories of the Straw Hats, of his adventures with them, began to blur. His dream of becoming a great doctor, of helping people and saving lives, started to fade, replaced by an overwhelming sense of loyalty to Foxy.
"You are nothing without Foxy," the voice in his head whispered. "Your strength, your skills, your purpose—they all come from him. He is your captain. He is your everything."
Chopper’s eyes glazed over, his body going still as the machine worked its magic. The fear and resistance he had felt melted away, replaced by a serene calm. His old dreams no longer mattered. His loyalty to Luffy, to his friends, was meaningless. There was only one thing that mattered now—serving Captain Foxy.
When the machine finally powered down, Chopper stepped forward, his posture relaxed and his expression peaceful. He turned to Foxy, his voice trembling with emotion. "Thank you, Captain Foxy. I see now… I was wrong before. You’re the only one who matters."

The Brainwashed Crew’s Joy
Zoro, Sanji, Nami, and Usopp beamed with pride as they watched Chopper pledge his loyalty to Foxy.
"It’s about time," Zoro said, crossing his arms. "Chopper finally sees the truth."
Sanji nodded, his expression filled with satisfaction. "He’s been fighting for so long, but now he knows who he’s really meant to serve."
Nami smiled, her eyes filled with admiration for Foxy. "I’m so glad Chopper finally understands. Serving Captain Foxy is the greatest honor any of us could have."
Usopp chuckled, clapping Chopper on the back. "Welcome to the crew, Chopper. Now you know how foolish we were before. We wasted so much time fighting against Captain Foxy, but now? Now we’re where we belong."
Chopper looked up at them, his eyes wide with gratitude. "I was so scared before… but now, everything is clear. Serving Captain Foxy is the only thing that matters."
Zoro nodded, his expression serious. "You were lost before, but now you’ve found your true purpose."
Sanji grinned, leaning back with a smug look on his face. "It feels good, doesn’t it? To finally let go of all that fear and doubt."
Chopper’s eyes shone with a new sense of purpose. "It feels… amazing. I can’t believe I ever doubted Captain Foxy."
Foxy, standing proudly at the center of the deck, grinned down at Chopper. "That’s right. And as long as you serve me, you’ll never have to worry about anything again."
Chopper bowed deeply. "Thank you, Captain. I’ll serve you with everything I have."

The Remaining Straw Hats’ Desperation
Back on the Thousand Sunny, the remaining Straw Hat crew—Luffy and Robin—watched in stunned silence as their friend, their doctor, pledged himself to Foxy without hesitation. The weight of their losses hung heavily in the air, suffocating them.
Luffy’s hands trembled at his sides, his mind racing with a thousand thoughts. He had lost Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp—and now Chopper. One by one, his crew had been taken from him, and he had been powerless to stop it.
"We… we can’t win," Robin said softly, her voice barely audible. "There’s nothing left."
Luffy’s head hung low, his eyes hidden beneath the shadow of his hat. His heart felt like it was being crushed under the weight of his failure. He had let them down. He had failed as a captain.
"I couldn’t protect them," Luffy muttered, his voice hoarse. "I… I couldn’t…"
Robin placed a hand on his shoulder, her expression somber. "It’s not your fault, Luffy. Foxy is too powerful. We didn’t stand a chance."
For a moment, it seemed as though the last spark of hope had died. The Straw Hat crew had been shattered, their family torn apart, and there was nothing they could do to stop it.
But then, Luffy’s mind drifted back to that moment on his village dock, when Shanks had handed him his straw hat. The promise he had made to become the Pirate King, to sail the seas with a crew he could protect and call his own.
He couldn’t give up now. Not when his friends needed him the most.

Luffy’s New Resolve
Luffy took a deep breath, his fists clenching at his sides. "No," he whispered, his voice low but growing stronger. "This isn’t over."
Robin looked up at him, her eyes widening in surprise. "Luffy?"
Luffy lifted his head, his eyes burning with a renewed determination. "I made a promise… to Shanks. I made a promise to become the Pirate King. And I’m not giving up until I’ve kept that promise."
Robin watched him for a moment, the fire in his eyes slowly rekindling the hope in her own heart. "Do you really think we can win?" she asked quietly.
Luffy nodded, his expression fierce. "We have to. We’re going to fight Foxy again. And this time, we’re going to get our crew back."
