Chapter 315: Secret Room

Arc: Long Ring Long Land · Saga: Water Seven · Released:

Summary

The Combat round (Round 3 of the Davy Back Fight) — Luffy vs Foxy — opens with a fake-out: Foxy’s “Face Bombs” detonate aboard his own ship the Sexy Foxy, and the commentator (Itomimizu) rules that since the ship is part of the combat field, Foxy “effectively used them in his cannon attack” to try to blow Luffy out of bounds — a legal interference. Luffy miraculously survives at point-blank range, dazzling the crowd (“Is this the true power of someone with a 100 million berry bounty?!”). Hidden in his explosion smoke, Foxy keeps up a relentless cackling assault, giving Luffy “no time to breathe”: he fires repeated Slow-Slow Beams (his Noro Noro no Mi / “Slow-Slow Beam!!”), tricks Luffy with a cardboard cutout decoy, baits him into looking up at a trap door, and runs him backward on a treadmill-floored hall (“the hall is moving — it’s forcing me backwards!!”) toward the open sea — but Luffy refuses to fall (“Gonna fall!! — I’m NOT!!”) and rights himself. Foxy then retreats deeper, and the battle stage moves below deck: a Foxy “spooky invitation” lures Luffy inside the ship, and even the MC can’t follow (“Even I, the commentator, cannot enter!”). The crew warns it’s a trick full of traps, but Luffy rushes in with no hesitation, and “the combatants begin an isolated man-to-man battle.” Inside, Luffy explores a wide gun deck, dodges (and triggers) a spike room and the deck cannons (a “STAB… BOOM!!”), then chases Foxy through the ship — where Foxy unleashes his Foxy Face Transformation gag: disguising himself as the buxom woman in the infirmary (“Oh my — what’s the matter? Do you feel ill?”), then as the cook in the kitchen (“May I help you?”). Luffy, slow on the uptake, finally clues in (“She was?! — The woman in the infirmary was me too!!”), and Foxy springs a “Fox Trap Counter-Attack” plus his new named combo “Nine-Tails Rush!!” — slowing Luffy with the beam and pummeling him during the freeze. The chapter ends on Foxy gloating over a final sealed room (“Don’t think I lured you in here for nothing… My attacks will hit you soon, but before that — what’s behind the door? Why don’t you go find out? It’s not something living… that would be against the rules”) as something rattles ominously behind it. The volume’s SBS Question Corner closes the chapter (Conis’s “Heso” greeting; how Tonjit went to the bathroom on his stilts).

New reveals

• Combat (Round 3) is fought on/through Foxy’s ship the Sexy Foxy. Because the cannon-shot field encloses the ship, the entire vessel — deck and interior — is legal battlefield (pp. 2, 12). Foxy’s own “Face Bombs” detonating on the ship count as a legal cannon attack meant to blow Luffy “outside of the perimeter — it’s game over!!” (p. 2).
• The battle stage “moves below deck.” Foxy retreats inside; the MC announces “Even I, the commentator, cannot enter!” and “the battle stage moves below deck” — “the combatants begin an isolated man-to-man battle” (pp. 11–12). This recasts the duel as a one-on-one chase through a trap-rigged ship interior.
• Foxy fights by pure interference, stacking his Noro Noro no Mi Slow-Slow Beam with environmental traps: a cardboard-cutout decoy (p. 6), a trap door he baits Luffy into watching (p. 9), a treadmill-floored hall that forces Luffy backward toward the sea (p. 10), a spike room (p. 13), and the ship’s gun-deck cannons (pp. 13–14).
• New named attack — “Nine-Tails Rush!!” (p. 18): Foxy slows Luffy with the beam, then delivers a rapid multi-hit flurry during the ~30-second freeze window. (References the nine-tailed-fox / kitsune motif baked into Foxy’s name.)
• “Foxy Face Transformation” (p. 15): a running disguise gag in which Foxy poses as a cardboard cutout, then as the buxom woman in the ship’s infirmary, then as the cook in the ship’s kitchen, repeatedly baiting Luffy with his own (Foxy-)face slapped on bystanders.
• Sexy Foxy interior mapped: an infirmary (p. 15), a kitchen (pp. 17, 20), and a gun deck — “a room full of cannons inside a ship” (pp. 13–14) — plus spike-trap rooms (p. 13). The ship is a purpose-built obstacle course favoring the home fighter.
• Luffy survives a point-blank explosion and “evaded the cannon attack at short range” (pp. 2–3); the crowd reads it as proof of his 100M-bounty caliber.

Open questions raised

• What is behind the sealed door Foxy herded Luffy toward (p. 19)? Foxy insists it’s “not something living” — payoff falls next chapter.
• Does Luffy adapt to the Slow-Slow Beam’s 30-second window to break Foxy’s interference loop, or does the trap-ship grind him down first?
• Does Luffy win the Combat round and end the Davy Back Fight — and, given the irreversible-prize rule (@0313), what is staked on this final match?
• How many more Foxy Face Transformation disguises / trap rooms does the Sexy Foxy interior hold? (Infirmary, kitchen, gun deck, spike rooms shown.)
