Chapter 313, titled "MAIN EVENT", wraps the Groggy Ring with Chopper returned to the crew and sets up the decisive third round, a one-on-one Battle Round between Luffy, now sporting an afro, and Foxy.
Summary
With the goal scored, Usopp and Luffy celebrate while Chopper sobs with joy. The dazed referee finally blows his whistle, only then learning the Groggy Monsters have lost. Having taken round two, Luffy may now claim a member from Foxy's side. Nami points out he could pick the opposing captain himself, securing a third win and Chopper's return without a fight, but the Foxy Pirates hurl insults at the idea until she frightens them into apologizing. Robin notes that choosing Foxy would mean traveling with him, and the whole crew agrees they want no such trash aboard, words that visibly crush Foxy. Luffy instead calls Chopper back, and the doctor barrels into him in tears.
Foxy warns that the loser of the final round cannot be reclaimed, then cryptically remarks on the gulf between an ordinary battle and a game battle. The third event, the Battle Round, begins with the captains spinning a cannon to pick the arena, which conveniently lands on the Foxy ship, drawing Usopp's outrage at the rigged spin. A cannonball marks a fifty-meter fighting radius covering the whole Sexy Foxy and nearby water, where any onboard weapon is fair and only the two fighters may enter. Amid Porche's cheer show and souvenir sales, Itomimizu announces Foxy with 920 straight wins. Luffy then sheds his cloak to reveal an afro and a flaming skull tattoo, having handed his straw hat to his coach Usopp.
Key Events
Zoro and Sanji's win takes the Groggy Ring, the Groggy Monsters' first ever Davy Back Fight defeat, and Chopper rejoins the crew. The final Battle Round is set as a one-on-one between Luffy and Foxy aboard the Sexy Foxy. Luffy dons an afro and entrusts his straw hat to Usopp, making Usopp the second person after Nami to be trusted with it.
