Foxy

**Foxy the Silver Fox** is the captain of the Foxy Pirates, and the main antagonist of the Long Ring Long Land Arc. In the anime he is also the main antagonist of the Foxy's Return Arc, and the secondary antagonist in the Spa Island Arc.

## Appearance

Foxy is a stout man with skinny arms and legs. He has almost a cleft lip-like mouth and a unique hairstyle, with his hair split into two spikes pointing upwards. He has thick, triangles-like eyebrows, and is almost always seen grinning. His nose is also colored red, and it is long just like the nose of Kaku and Usopp. These characteristics make him look like a fox.[1]

Foxy typically wears yellow-orange pants, held up by suspenders, with large, rotund buckles on the edges, tucked inside black boots, which are white on the front part of the legs and have orange strings. Under his pants some sort of strange indument circling his waist can be seen, which is light-green with leaf-like motifs on it, and has orange laces on the front. It might be some sort of belt, even though in the anime it was shown as a pair of bermuda-like indument.[5] In front of this, threaded in his pants, Foxy carries around a short wooden sword, which he uses to perform his Noro Noro Beam Sword technique.

He has an elaborate necklace hanging on his chest, with many circular orange and yellow pendants, and a blue, bigger and more elaborate central one, with ears on it resembling those of a fox. He also sports a fur-lined coat, with a large collar and big buttons on the right side. His coat is colored purple in the anime, while it is colored silver in the manga and other manga related media.[6]

## Personality

Foxy is a cheater and trickster, who participates in the Davy Back Fight, a contest between pirate crews where the winning team can steal crew members from the losing team. Most members of Foxy's crew joined him because he won them in this contest. However, they seem to be genuinely enthusiastic about being in the Foxy Pirates, and wholeheartedly cheer on their crewmates and captain in the Davy Back Fight.[citation needed]

Foxy also seems to honor a team's choice if they were to decide to win on their own. He thinks very highly of himself and believes that he is good-looking.[citation needed]

Though he acts supremely confident most of the time and seems quite fond of himself, Foxy is extremely sensitive to insults or criticism. Any offensive words from others cause him to instantly become depressed, and he usually ends up losing his footing and falling to the ground, barely supporting himself with his arms, while a black cloud suddenly appears over his head. Though all it takes is a few kind words from anybody to perk him up again. In the anime, Nami and Usopp used this weakness to their advantage by alternately hurling insults and compliments at Foxy non-stop, leaving him emotionally (as well as physically) paralyzed and unable to help his team during the roller race.[citation needed]

## Abilities and Powers

Foxy is a cunning character who uses his Devil Fruit powers as well as various other tricks to aid in him cheating.[citation needed]

He also seems to have an extraordinary sense of time, even when he had slowed down multiple cannonballs he still knew exactly when each and everyone of them was going to regain full speed.[citation needed]

He also possesses a good deal of physical strength, as he can perform a barrage of quite powerful punches without getting tired.[citation needed]

### Devil Fruit

Foxy ate the Devil Fruit the Noro Noro no Mi which allows him to fire microscopic particles as beams of light that can slow down his enemies or other objects for 30 seconds (he demonstrates this by slowing down a cannon ball fired at him, only to get hit by the cannonball anyway when he was gloating over its power for too long). When he cheats, he frequently uses these powers to increase the impact of his attacks or stop his opponents in their tracks. Luffy manages to beat this power by using a shard from a mirror he found on Foxy's ship, reflecting the Noroma photons back at him, then delivering a final blow with a 30 second delay.

When Foxy uses his Noro Noro no Mi powers, he always holds his hands in the same position: his thumb, ring and middle fingers are pressed together while his other two fingers are pointing upwards. This gesture resembles the typical Japanese way of representing a fox with one's hands.

### Weapons

Apart from his regular tricks, Foxy possesses a giant mechanical punching machine called the **Gorilla Puncher #13** (ゴリラパンチャー13号 *Gorira Panchā Jūsan-gō*?) which he can pilot to use against his opponent in the Combat portion of the Davy Back Fight. The machine's punches are capable of being set on fire and are supposedly even capable of burning sea monsters.

Foxy also uses a giant ball launcher called **Dead Hit-kun** (デッドヒットくん *Deddo Hitto-kun*?).

Foxy is also seen using boxing gloves with spikes, similar to what Porchemy is seen with, during his fight with Luffy.

### Other

Aside from his Devil Fruit powers, Foxy uses various other tricks that aren't dependent on his powers. These range from disguises to using equipment that would otherwise be considered cheating in normal standards.

The following are named techniques of Foxy that do not use his Devil Fruit powers:

* **Uso Shiji Daisakusen** (ウソ指示大作戦 *Uso Shiji Daisakusen*?, literally meaning "Great Strategy Lying Signpost"): Foxy's 18th trick, he lays a signpost in the middle of the racetrack to mislead his opponents to take a detour and off the course. This was first used against the Barrel Tiger during the Donut Race, but Nami simply smashes the sign, as she saw through the trickery.[7]

* **Uso Goal Daisakusen** (ウソゴール大作戦 *Uso Gōru Daisakusen*?, literally meaning "Great Strategy Lying Goal"): Foxy lays a fake goal post in the middle of the racetrack to mislead his opponents into thinking that they won the race and stop, allowing Foxy's own team to catch up. This was first used against the Barrel Tiger during the Donut Race, but Nami simply smashes the goal, as she saw through the trickery. On the other hand, the Cutie Wagon fell for the trickery, and stopped momentarily, thus Foxy's plan actually backfired.[7]

* **Glove Upgrade** (グローブ強化 *Gurōbu Kyōka*?): Realizing that Luffy cannot be seriously injured by normal punches, Foxy places blue spiked glove covers on his boxing gloves. The sharp points allow him to do more damage.

* **Foxy Shichihenge** (フォクシー七変化 *Fokushī Shichihenge*?, literally meaning "Foxy Seven-Change Disguise"): Foxy disguises himself in costumes to trick his opponent so that he can set up a sneak attack. Though he believes them to be brilliant, the disguises are so poor that only a complete moron (i.e. Luffy) would be fooled by them. This is called **Foxy Face Transformation** in the Viz Manga.

* **Counter Fox Blow** (カウンターフォックスブロー *Kauntā Fokkusu Burō*?): Foxy slips a bear trap shaped like a fox's head on the end of his boxing glove and punches his opponent with it. This is called **Fox Trap Counter-Attack** in the Viz Manga.

* **Kuyashimagire Ipponzeoi** (くやしまぎれ一本背負い *Kuyashimagire Ipponzeoi*?, literally meaning "Overhead Throw of Revenge"): a technique used by Foxy on Luffy when he lost the captain fight. Basically he offers his opponent a congratulatory handshake, but when they reach out to accept it, he just grabs their arm and flips them over his shoulder and smashes him into the ground... only to wind up smashing himself into the ground as Luffy's limbs are rubber. This is called **Super Vengeance Shoulder Throw** in the Viz Manga.

## TMNT X Pokemon

Foxy the Silver Fox is one of the many villains you will face throughout the game. He's somewhat easy on the difficulty scale.

## Trivia

* As of the Long Ring Long Land Arc, Foxy's fight record is 920 wins and one loss which was against Luffy.
* Foxy appears to be visually inspired by the children cereal mascot "Count Chocula", with his overall design very similar, as well as his nose and hair.
* Foxy seems to have a distinct laugh, following this tradition with a "Feh" (i.e. Fuehfehfehfeh!).
* Foxy and his Noro Noro Beam were mentioned by Luffy when Pirate Empress Boa Hancock fired her Mero Mero Mellow at him. He, at first, thought it was the Noro Noro Beam and thus comically began 'slowing down'.
* In Hit and Dead ball, the moment Foxy brings out his cannon that shoots hit and dead dodgeballs on a set speed, Usopp starts to think that his brain is also split too even though that machine is the only weapon that can be used in the game says by the rulebook as Foxy is the creator of these ridiculous rules.
* Foxy is, so far, the only villain who has appeared only once in the manga, but more than once in the anime.
* Foxy is shown in the We Are remix opening 10. It is odd since he is shown in the background with the Straw Hat's past friends and relatives.
* In many cultures, foxes appear in folklore as symbols of cunning and deception, matching Foxy's trickery.
* Foxy was in the Japanese version of One Piece Grand Battle Rush!. However, he was one of 4 characters that was cut from the English version of the game. The Davy Back Games were turned into mini-games with Usopp and the Usopp pirates as the challengers instead. Although, his crew are still seen in the background of the mini-games.
* Foxy also was in the Japanese version of One Piece Pirates Carnival, however, he was one of the many characters removed from the English version of the game. All his Davy Back Fight games were instead done by Jango and the Black Cat Pirates, with Jango using his hypnosis to replace Foxy's Noro Noro Beam.
* In a recent character popularity poll, Foxy was voted the 56th most popular character in One Piece.[30]
* In the FUNimation dub, Foxy has a thick European accent.
