Nami tried key after key until one finally clicked. The handcuffs fell away.
"Thank you," Robin said, tears running down her cheeks.
"It's okay. What are friends for if they can't save each other?" Nami replied gently.
"Where's Luffy?" Zoro asked.
"He's still fighting that Lucci guy," Franky said.
Suddenly, a massive fist crashed through several buildings.
"What the hell is that?!" Nami screamed.
"Dammit…" Lucci muttered as Luffy's punch sent him crashing onto the deck of a nearby ship.
Lucci lay unconscious, defeated.
"Emma, I've added my Vector waves to this stone. Throw it at the largest ship you see," Noah said, then vanished.
Blip!
Noah appeared beside Luffy.
"Are you alright, Luffy?" Noah asked.
"I… I can't move," Luffy said.
Noah smiled and lifted him onto his back.
"Thanks a lot, Noah," Luffy said, giving a weak grin.
"You actually defeated that guy," Noah replied.
Luffy's grin widened.
Meanwhile…
"I need to end this fight. My friends are waiting on me," Chopper said.
Back To Noah And The Others…
Noah teleported to the stone he had given Emma.
Blip!
They appeared on the deck.
"Luffy!" Robin said, hugging him tightly.
"Ouch… ouch… ouch," Luffy groaned.
"He's sore," Noah said, gently laying Luffy down on the deck.
"Wait a minute… how did you guys get here without my help?" Noah asked.
"This ship was close by. I didn't really need you to teleport us," Emma replied.
"Wait a minute!" Usopp shouted. "We're leaving without Chopper and the others?"
Noah got up and teleported.
Vector Manipulation – Flying Thunder God!
Blip!
He appeared behind Chopper.
"Need some help?" Noah asked.
Chopper nodded.
Noah instantly cut the CP9 agent in two, then held onto Chopper's shoulder and vanished.
Blip!
They appeared back on the ship.
"Stand back, everyone," Noah said.
Vector Manipulation – Reverse Flying Thunder God!
Blip… blip… blip… blip… blip!
Paulie, Granny Kokoro and everyone else instantly appeared on the ship. The Franky Brothers appeared riding their giant seahorses.
"When did we get here?" they asked, confused.
"How did you—?" Emma began.
"Remember, I had marked them with my Vector waves on the sea train," Noah explained.
A loud voice blared over a speakerphone:
"STRAW HAT LUFFY AND FRIENDS! YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE TODAY!"
Noah raised his middle finger. "Try and stop us."
Vector Manipulation – Flying Thunder God!
Blip… blip!
They vanished and appeared beside the Going Merry.
"Why did it take us here?" Emma asked.
"Because I marked the Going Merry," Noah replied.
Later that day, everyone gathered together, exhausted but relieved. Laughter and cheers echoed across the city as the chaos of earlier faded into the evening.
Franky stepped forward, a wide grin on his face. "Luffy!"
Luffy turned. "What is it?"
" I'm going to build you the greatest ship! Using the materials i got from...you know, every year a piece of branch from the world tree Adam falls into the ocean so it's very rare and expensive.
Franky rubbed the back of his head, grinning sheepishly. "It cost about 300 million Berries. I didn't have that much… until a bunch of idiots came along and swung all that cash around."
Nami's eyes narrowed. She walked up and gave him a sharp smack on the head.
"I haven't forgiven you for beating up Usopp and stealing our money!" she snapped.
Franky held his head, wincing. "Ouch! Okay, okay! I get it! But seriously, this is going to be worth it!"
Luffy laughed, clapping his hands together.
"I want to make two ships—one for you guys, and one for Noah," Franky said. "While we were partying, he told me he doesn't even have his own ship."
Noah and Emma eyes went wide in excitement.
Luffy grinned."Two ships, huh? Sounds perfect!"
Noah gave a small smile, nodding. "I appreciate it.
The crew cheered again, the mood light and full of hope. After all the battles, destruction, and chaos, this moment was theirs—a chance to celebrate, to rebuild, and to prepare for the adventures still ahead.
