["Ground Door!"]
[With a flick of her hand, her arm elongated, her hand enlarged, grabbing Lucci's entire torso, and pulled Lucci, who had already fallen halfway into the floor, back up...]
[She ruthlessly slammed Lucci down.]
[Bang!]
[Lucci had already been slammed into the ground by Jabba. His entire body was deeply embedded in the hard ground, unable to move for a long time…]
["Ugh..."]
["Monster!"]
[The surrounding shipwrights were completely stunned.]
[One day on earth, one year in heaven. What is happening now?]
["Captain!!"
["Little Sister Jabba!!"
[The CP9 members sent by the World Government have all been subdued?]
[Seeing that everything was resolved, Iceberg finally breathed a sigh of relief. It's over, it's over...]
[Luffy clapped his hands. He simply didn't think much of this. The CP9 members were still too weak.]
[Luffy looked at Iceberg, "So… can we discuss our ship now?" This is the most important thing.]
[Iceberg was a bit hesitant. "Well… This…" He didn't know how to explain the situation.]
[There was a sudden loud bang! The sound of a door being kicked open! A large group of people rushed in!]
["It's them!"]
["I knew it! I knew these guys wouldn't give up! This Iceberg must be in cahoots with them!"]
[A group of small fries rushed over menacingly. They were simply too weak!]
["This is bad! It seems like something big is happening!"]
[Someone whispered softly. Luffy's ears perked up. What big matter?]
[At this time, Iceberg also reacted. "Everyone, calm down. What are you doing? What is this?"]
[Luffy turned around and looked. It was a group of people he didn't recognize at all.]
[Using one's own hand to attract the other party's hatred, it's actually quite a useful skill.]
["Everyone, calm down!" Luffy said, raising his voice, "Don't be nervous, we won't hurt you."]
["Hehe, are you scared now? It's too late! I'll tell you, the people of the Franky Family have arrived. What's done is done!"]
["Franky Family?" Luffy raised an eyebrow. He had never heard of such an organization.
[He gestured to Jabba to knock them all away. They were too noisy.]
["Understood, Captain!" Jabba nodded and ruthlessly moved forward.]
["Wait!" Iceberg hurriedly stopped Jabba. "Don't act rashly. These people are all just being misled. Can we talk?"]
[Luffy stopped his movements. "Okay. Let's talk. But I don't like it when people make noise."]
["Everyone, listen to me!" Iceberg shouted loudly, "This is all a misunderstanding. Please listen to me explain…"]
["Shut up!" A burly man rushed out from the crowd. "Iceberg, you traitor! Today, we will avenge our boss!"]
["Avenge?" Luffy was puzzled. "Who are you avenging?"]
["We are avenging our boss, Franky!"]
["Franky?" Luffy was even more confused. He had never heard of such a person.]
["Franky is the best ship dismantler on the Seven Water Islands! He is the best big brother!"]
["Franky is the benefactor who provided us with accommodation! He is the savior of our lives!"]
[The members of the Franky Family began to yell angrily. It was obvious that Franky held a very high position in their hearts.]
["So… you're saying that Franky is dead?" Luffy asked curiously.]
["That's right! Franky was framed by you and the World Government! He was wronged! Today, we will avenge him!"]
[Luffy instantly understood the situation. It turned out that this was a case of revenge.]
["Since you are avenging him, then you should go find the people from the World Government." Luffy pointed to Spandam, Lucci, and Kalifa who were lying on the ground. "They are all members of the World Government."]
["They are too weak! We can deal with them later! Our main goal is to take down Iceberg!"]
[Luffy was speechless. "Why are you so stupid?"]
["What did you say?" The members of the Franky Family were instantly enraged. "Damn it! You dare to insult our big brother! We'll beat you up!"]
[Luffy sighed. "It seems like there's no way to reason with you guys."]
["Jabba, knock them all away."]
["Understood, Captain."]
[Jabba moved forward, instantly knocking away all the Franky Family members who dared to approach.]
["Ugh…."]
[The scene instantly became chaotic.
[Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Iceberg panicked. "Everyone, stop fighting! This is all a misunderstanding!"]
[However, no one listened to him.]
["Sigh…" Luffy sighed. "It seems like there's no other way."]
[He raised his right hand. "Jabba, let's go!"
["Understood, Captain!"]
[Jabba waved her hand, creating a powerful gust of wind, instantly blowing away all the Franky Family members.]
["Ugh…"]
[The members of the Franky Family were all blown away, like leaves in a storm.]
["This is too strong…"
["They're monsters!"]
["Even the Franky Family is no match for them!"]
["Run!!! ——"]
[The remaining members of the Franky Family all fled in panic.]
[Seeing that everyone had been knocked away, Luffy finally breathed a sigh of relief.
[Iceberg walked over with a bitter face. "This is all a misunderstanding."]
["Misunderstanding?" Luffy was puzzled. "What's wrong?"]
[Iceberg explained the entire situation. It turned out that Franky was indeed a ship dismantler, but he was also a very good shipwright. He also secretly built warships, wanting to fight against the World Government.]
["Franky is a good person. He would never betray us." Iceberg said sincerely.]
["Betray? What happened?" Luffy asked curiously.]
[Iceberg sighed and recounted the past.]
[It turned out that Franky was an orphan who was abandoned by his parents. Later, he was taken in by a shipwright and learned the craft.]
[But Franky was very rebellious and often caused trouble. Later, he was expelled by the shipwright and began to wander the streets.]
[Later, Franky met a group of similar street children and formed the Franky Family. They specialized in robbing and stealing.]
[One day, Franky accidentally discovered a secret document of the World Government.]
[It turned out that the World Government wanted to steal the blueprints for the ancient weapon, Pluton!]
[Franky was very righteous and immediately decided to stop the World Government's actions. He secretly stole the Pluton blueprints and hid them.]
[However, the World Government soon discovered Franky's actions and began to hunt him down.]
[Franky was forced to flee and was eventually captured by the CP9.]
[The CP9 interrogated Franky, wanting him to reveal the whereabouts of the Pluton blueprints.]
[But Franky refused to reveal anything. He was eventually killed by the CP9.]
[After Franky's death, the CP9 framed Iceberg, saying that he was in cahoots with Franky and stole the Pluton blueprints.]
["That's the whole story." Iceberg said helplessly.]
["So… Franky is dead?" Luffy asked.]
["Yes… Franky is dead…" Iceberg nodded sadly.]
["Well… that's a pity." Luffy shrugged. He didn't care much about other people's lives.
[What he cared about was his own ship.
[Luffy looked at Iceberg. "So… can we discuss our ship now?"]
[Iceberg looked at Luffy, still a bit hesitant.
[But at this time, Nami suddenly spoke.]
["Of course, we can build a ship! It just so happens that our captain has plenty of money!"]
[As Nami spoke, she took out a large pile of Berries and slammed them on the table!]
["Look! This is two hundred million Berries! Enough to build ten warships!"]
[Seeing so many Berries, Iceberg's eyes instantly widened.]
["Two… two hundred million Berries?!"]
["That's right! As long as you build us a good ship, we can give you more money!" Nami said proudly.]
["Really?" Iceberg asked excitedly.]
["Of course! Your future captain has plenty of money!"]
["Okay! Deal!" Iceberg immediately agreed.]
[With so many Berries, he could definitely build a warship that was better than the Thousand Sunny!]
["That's great!" Nami said happily.]
[She had thought that her captain wouldn't have much money. She didn't expect him to be so rich!]
["Captain! We can definitely build a ship that is more luxurious than the Thousand Sunny!"]
["En." Luffy nodded with satisfaction.]
[With the money, the ship would naturally be better.]
[Luffy didn't lack money. He lacked good ships!
[At this time, Usopp suddenly spoke.
["Captain, I think we should give Franky a proper burial…"
[Usopp's words made the scene a little quieter.]
[Only three people truly wanted to avenge Franky.]
["Alright, let's give Franky a proper burial." Luffy nodded in agreement.]
[It's just a trivial matter, as long as the crew members are satisfied.]
["Okay! Everyone, let's help Franky get a proper burial!" Usopp shouted loudly.]
["Yeah!!!"]
[Following Usopp's lead, everyone began to busy themselves.]
["This… This is unnecessary…" Iceberg was a bit embarrassed.]
["It's alright, it's alright. Franky was a good person, he deserves a proper burial." Usopp said seriously.]
[Franky's burial was handled with great fanfare. Everyone carried Franky's body to a nearby hill and dug a large pit.]
[Then, they carefully placed Franky's body inside.]
[Finally, everyone shoveled soil and buried Franky's body.]
["Franky, rest in peace…"]
["We will definitely avenge you!"]
["We will definitely build you a better ship!"]
[Everyone prayed silently for Franky.]
["Alright, let's go." Luffy said.
[He was still thinking about building his warship.]
[Iceberg hesitated and said, "Actually… if things are really that urgent, it's not impossible for Franky to leave!! But you tell me… where else can I go besides the Seven Water Islands????"]
[Franky questioned loudly.]
[He had grown up in the Seven Water Islands since he was a child. Now, suddenly having to leave… it was like a child who had never left home suddenly being kicked out by his parents and told to fend for himself…]
[This kind of fear and helplessness was deeply ingrained!!]
["You don't have to worry about that! I've already thought of a place for you..."]
[They say the eldest brother is like a father! As Franky's mentor, Iceberg was still like Franky's half-father!!!]
[Since he wanted Franky to leave, how could he not make arrangements for him?]
[Hearing these words, Franky looked blankly at Iceberg: "A place… …Where...?"]
[Iceberg said loudly, "Haven't you always aspired to build the world's most powerful battleship? Now your chance has come!!"]
[Hearing these words, Franky's heart suddenly surged with fervor!!!]
[But then, he suddenly paused, "Huh? What does that mean? Don't you know? The ship I want to build has to be made of Adam Wood!!"]
[Iceberg smiled slightly. "Adam Wood, is it? No problem!! Moreover… you can search for materials as you please, as long as it is available on the black market, you don't need to worry about the money! Your future captain has plenty of money!!"]
["Huh? Future captain?"]
[Franky's face was filled with confusion.]
[Iceberg said, "Yes, it is the master of the super battleship you are about to build. His strength is very strong! I personally saw CP9 being as vulnerable as children in front of him! If you can get on his ship, the Pluton battleship blueprints will definitely be much safer than staying here!!"]
["But… will they let me on board?" Franky asked puzzled.]
["You don't have to worry about that!!! The two of us will jointly build the world's strongest battleship, and it can even dive, its functions are so complex. If others want to learn how to operate it, they definitely won't be able to learn it without a year of effort!!"]
["And you are the world's best shipwright. At that time, I'll recommend you to them as their shipwright like Luffy recommended me. I believe he won't refuse..."]
[Iceberg was very confident in his idea!!]
[After all…]
[Once this super battleship is built, the Straw Hat Pirates will definitely need him or Franky to be on board...]
[And if he is the mayor of the Seven Water Islands, he can't leave at all…]
[And Franky...]
[Is undoubtedly the best candidate!!]
["Phew....Hoo....."]
[Listening to Iceberg's words, Franky took a deep breath——]
[He was already beginning to imagine himself sailing the seas on the super battleship that he built!!!]
["If I can get on this super battleship built by us, then I can agree to leave the Seven Water Islands with the Pluton blueprints!"]
[The more Franky thought about it, the more excited he became, but he was also vaguely worried, "But where can I put those blueprints?"]
["It's okay, I'm here, you can just ask me."]
[At this time, Luffy's figure appeared in front of the two.]
["Ah! You… you followed me here?"]
[Seeing Luffy appear here, Iceberg's expression changed drastically!!]
[Because just now he and Franky mentioned the Pluton battleship blueprints in their conversation!!]
[Franky was also equally terrified!!]
[Luffy nodded: "Yes, building such an important ship, isn't it normal for me to investigate your details?"]
["But..." Iceberg's face was very ugly——]
["But it's the Pluton battleship blueprints, right?"]
[Luffy smiled and shook his head slightly, "You don't have to worry about that! I know where the real Pluton battleship is, why would I want an inferior blueprint?"]
