* BrainsVsBrawn: The Donut Race. In terms of sheer rowing power, the Foxy Pirates' team, with Capote the fish-man and Monda the shark have the Straw Hat team beat. But with Nami's skill with navigating currents, Usopp's sniping and Impact dial, and Robin's Flower-Flower Fruit powers, they are able to keep the pace and even take the lead in the latter half. (Helping is that Porche falls for Foxy's 'fake finish line' ploy). The only reason the Straw Hats lose is because of Foxy's Slow-Slow Fruit powers.

** When Chopper cries about now wanting to go with the Foxy's, Zoro shouts at him that he is disgracing himself and should wait quietly for the games to be concluded. This seems to be what Chopper needed to hear, as he composes himself and dares the Foxy's to do their worst.

Added DiffLines:

* BlatantLies: Foxy's attempts to trick the Straw Hats during the race portion are rather obvious.


Added DiffLines:

* HeroAntagonist: Lampshaded. Luffy insists Tonjit can't trust Aokiji because Aokiji is a marine. After Tonjit stares at him in confusion for a bit, Luffy remembers that to ordinary people, marines are the good guys.

** After the fight with Aokiji, Usopp slumps over and morosely states they'll be encountering powerful foes like the Admiral from now on and he was utterly useless against the marine. Zoro tries to dismiss the worry by brusquely telling him he's babbling because he's tired and should get some rest. Unfortunately, the following arc shows Usopp's insecurities are not so easily brushed aside.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainRespect: A RunningGag is the Foxy Pirates being impressed with some incredible display from the Straw Hats and starting to cheer for them instead of their own side, angering Foxy.

It was later revealed that taking a second Rumble Ball within six hours makes him lose control of transformations. This is justified by the fact this scene was made before the manga revealed this limitation.

* FillerArc: A surprisingly canon one for the series. Oda confessed he just did the arc for the fun of it and it has no long term effects on the story save the appearance of Aokiji. However, the island in which Davy Fight Back is mentioned to have originated, Pirate Island, is physically shown nearly ''six-hundred'' chapters and [[spoiler: is the location where Blackbeard and his crew are stationed, as well as the place of origin for the PredecessorVillain crew, the Rocks Pirates]].

* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: In the anime, Nami laments that she's certain to be chosen by the Foxy Pirates to become their idol due to her beauty. A pair of passing Foxy Pirates loudly state they have no interest. Nami is visibly offended, only made worse when the pirates say it's because she's too weak and scary.

* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: Foxy and his crew played dirty and cheated at every available moment. The Straw Hats not only played fairly but won the games.

* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: Foxy and his crew played dirty and cheated at every available moment. The Straw Hats not only played mostly fairly (only cheating when absolutely necessary) but won the games.
* BrainlessBeauty: Porche.
Porche is an attractive but shallow young woman, and not the sharpest tool in the shed.
* BreatherEpisode: This episode was made to give the readers a break between the Skypiea arc and the [[WhamEpisode Water 7 Arc]]. Even more so in the anime, thanks to AdaptationExpansion adding three extra games and moving the canonical encounter with Aokiji two filler arcs forward.

* {{Calvinball}}: Hit and Dead Ball in the anime is a game as old as the Davy Back Fight and its massive rulebook has filled over time, with at least 999 rules. While some rules are obvious, like hits to the face not counting, others are bizarre such as the only weapon allowed being a ball-shooting mech or allowing "out" members of the crew to throw fake balls at the enemy.

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: In the anime, Foxy flatly refuses Luffy's demand for a third round to win back his crew. After beating the Fang Frog Pirates and two rounds with the Straw Hats, the Foxy Pirates are exhausted and injured. Foxy thinks knowing when to turn down a challenge is actually one of his greatest strengths.

* SeriousBusiness: The Davy Back Fight is treated as an extremely honorable and important event, which all of the Foxy Pirates seem to embrace wholeheartedly and several of the Straw Hats also approach it seriously. Nami's suggestion of the "Peanuts" strategy receives derision because it's seem as shameful.

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Foxy has a fragile ego, is incredibly silly, and isn't all that tough. However, his Devil Fruit power from the Slow Slow Fruit meant he could fire his Slow Slow Beam that his opponent and pulverize them by throwing as many blows as he can before the effects of the beam run out, his opponent often getting walloped by the accumulated punishment. Luffy came very close to losing the Davy Back Fight due to this. Hell, before Luffy, he had never ''lost'' a Davy Back Fight.
