Foxy the Silver Fox (Gin-gitsune no Fokushi) is a fictional pirate captain in the anime and manga One Piece.
Foxy is a cheater and a 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.
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. Luckily for Foxy, all it takes is a few kind words from his second-in-command, Porche, to perk him up again. In the anime, Nami and Usopp used this weakness to their advantage by alternatly hurling insults and compliments at Foxy non-stop, leaving him emotionally (as well as physically) paralyized and unable to help his team during the roller race.
Originally in the manga, when Foxy's crew faces Luffy and the Straw-Hat Crew, they play two three-match games. In the first game, the Donut Race, the Straw-Hats lose Tony Tony Chopper to Foxy. In the second round, Gorggy Ring, Zoro and Sanji manage to beat their opponents and thus win back Chopper and with great aplomb the final round, Combat, Luffy triumphs over Foxy.
However in the anime, in the second round after Sanji and Zoro win, Luffy picks a horse that Foxy had stolen, leaving Chopper with Foxy. In the final round of the game, Luffy wins again, and reclaims Chopper.
Unforunately, Luffy stupidly accepts another round of games, and loses the first two matches, along with Chopper and Nico Robin, respectively. In desperation, Nami makes a deal with Foxy that who ever wins would take 500 people from the other captain's team (which has Sanji wondering what his child would look like). In the final game, a duel between captains, Monkey D. Luffy wins and takes Foxy's pirate flag, along with Chopper, Robin, and 497 of Foxy's 499 subordinates, which he accepts, then dismisses. When he realizes that the Foxy logo is on the Foxy pirate ship's sail as well, Luffy offers to make them a new logo. The crews part without hard feelings, despite the crudity of Luffy's artwork.
Later in the One Piece series, in a filler anime only arc, The Straw Hats meet up with Foxy again. Luffy saves Foxy, and the two untaken subordinates Hamburger and Porche. Foxy's old boat has been taken over by other pirates that Foxy originally won in an earlier Davy Back Fight. Luffy takes the ship back for Foxy, but then Foxy decides to get revenge on the Straw Hat crew. The Straw Hats easily defeat Foxy, but allows him to retain his dignity, but most likely will still follow Luffy to One piece/Raftel.
Foxy ate the Devil Fruit Noro Noro no Mi (Slow Slow) which allows him to fire microscopic particles that can slow down his enemies or other objects. 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 mirror he found on Foxy's ship, reflecting the Noroma photons back at him, then delivering a final blow with a 30 second delay. |
