Chapter 54: Franky & Thousand Sunny
After Usopp had trained in the ilusion world of Infinity Tsukuyomi when they were training Haki's Early stage, his mentality is more mature than he was. In this time he has arrived at Pirates' Temporary HQ. He come inside the house and begins to fully kneel down in front of us.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry for being stubborn!! I was wrong!! I know it's shameful!!! And I know I said I left the crew!!! Can I... Can I take back what I said!!? Can I please!!? Please... Please let me stay with you guys!!! Please!!! Please make me your nakama one more time!!!!" Usopp pleaded to us with his watery eyes and runny nose. Luffy as the 'captain' agrees and accepts Usopp's apology with same watery eyes and runny nose then we all welcome him back again.
Sanji is still immersed in bad mood because the hand-drawn picture on the Wanted Poster. "I was tricked... He said he's a reporter from the town's magazine. I look cute in it, so i guess that's fine but... Now I have a bounty on my head too..." Nami felt depressed about her bounty.
Meanwhile Chopper protests about his low bounty, Usopp calms him and little proud and scared about his bounty too. Mozu and Kiwi lead us to where Iceberg and others are, but Franky isn't in there.
"Welcome, unfortunately Franky's not around. But the ship is ready. Allow me to show you the ship instead. This ship is amazing. I stood there astonished when I saw the blueprints. It will be able to cross any kind of sea. With this ship, you can even go to the end of the world." Iceberg pulled down the cloth that cover the dream ship.
The ship is brig sloop, a type of ship that relies on the skills of its navigator. The ship has a lawn on her deck, complete with a swing and a slide, as well as an observation tower for a crow's nest. The huge masts give the ship extreme maneuverability.
Like the Going Merry, the figurehead is an animal's head, specifically a lion with a stylized mane. The ship holds sixteen cannons: seven traditional cannons on each side of the ship and two specialized hidden air cannons—the Gaon Cannon in the figurehead and the Coup De Burst cannon astern.
We are surprised by the appearance of the ship then Luffy asks Iceberg where Franky and wants to thank him.
"It seems that he has no intention to see you guys anymore. He's hiding himself for not confident enough to reject such offer to be as your shipwright. Franky really likes being with you guys but he believe that he has 'Duty' to stay on this island forever. If you really intend to bring him along, don't choose your means. Just take him by force. That's the only way to set him free." Iceberg explained. "By force? Can we really!?" Luffy asked.
Franky and his henchmen argue about how happy he is when build the ship, how he wants to go with Straw-Hats, his wanted poster and the burden as his henchmen. One of them secretly take his pants off, then they pass the pants between them and will deliver the pants to Straw-Hats at the shipwreck island.
Luffy come to get the pants from the roof of the building. "Do you like the ship!!? I put everything you requested!!" Franky asked. "Yeah, I've never seen such an incredible ship. Thanks!!!" Luffy replied. Franky immediately tells Luffy about the special feature of the ship 'Soldier Dock System' and the fish preserve.
Luffy is attacked by Franky for trying to take his pants back but he tosses to Chopper. Franky is sent flying to Shipwreck Island by combination teamwork of his henchmen, Zoro and Sanji. Luffy and Chopper arrive at the new ship with his Rubber Rocket. Franky immediately stands up from his lied position and little bit angry about what happened.
"Franky!! Thank you so much for the ship!!! It's the greatest. We'll Take good care of it!!! If you want these pants back then be our nakama!!!!", "Don't be silly... Don't assume you can make me your nakama just by taking my pants" Franky replied and poses without anything covering his lower half, "I underestimated him!! He's so resolute. He's the man of men!!!".
"He's just the biggest pervert out there!!!!" Nami smacked Luffy's head. I have already covered my eyes before Franky takes the action although I can anticipate the action but my ears are still little red.
"Damn, the images from the reality are more dangerous and powerful than in the animation. Oh no...., after this, Robin will strike Franky's little brother!!!"
As I thought that, Robin cast 'Dos Fleur Grab' to Franky. We all are surprised by her action, "If you ask a group of pirates to back off in front of a 'Treasure', then you'd better have some good explanation, otherwise there's no way they'll back off".
Franky and Iceberg argue each other about the connection between dream ship and its creator, how he's protecting Water Seven from the behind as atonement, Tom's & Iceberg's forgiveness and How he has to forgive himself.
Franky Family throw Franky's belongings and apologize to Franky about their idiot plans to take off Franky's pants. Franky is immediately angry with his henchmen for doing that plans and making him shame.
"We're really sorry!! But can't we just think a bit about someone who adopted us racketeers!? Can't we think about your happiness!!?" Franky Family asked him. Franky is shocked by their words, he pretends to be hurt in his little brother for hiding his happy tears then Franky and his henchmen recalls their past interactions.
"Can you even survive without me!?" Franky asked, "We'll do our best to put our power together and succeed the hidden face of Water Seven!!! Even though you're going far away, we'll always be your men!!!" They answered.
Zoro and Sanji arrive at the Shipwreck Island, Luffy!! The situation is getting worse!!!Your Grandpa's coming back!!!! They already took the offensive in the coast over there and are looking for us!!!" They told us.
Luffy gives the pants back to Franky and tells him to get on the ship, "All right!! I'll take care of it!!! I, Franky, will be the Shipwright of your ship!!!" He said those words and officially joins the crew. In his heart, he says his goodbye, "I'm gonna be away for awhile!!!".
Coby complains to Garp about how embarrassed they have felt after parted very bracingly but have to capture Luffy and the others again. Garp tells him that Sengoku's fault for got angry to them. Aoikiji refutes Garp for this event happens because he was saying 'Luffy is his grandson' as his reason not to capture Straw-Hats.
When we will begin to sail out, Garp's ship has arrived near ours. He apologizes to us for coming to arrest us, he immediately throws the cannon-ball with his bared hands. He continue to use 'Genkotsu Meteor Stream' with 1000 canon-balls, but Luffy, Zoro, Usopp and I destroy them easily.
After the drama of choosing the name for this new ship as 'Thousand Sunny' by the suggestion of Iceberg, we do the preparation to escape this area ASAP. We're taking in the sails of the ship, Luffy thanks Iceberg for his naming of the ship and provoke Garp that we can run away easily.
Garp is very angry to Luffy's arrogant and he throws the ultra gigantic iron ball, meanwhile Franky has already activated emergency acceleration device 'Coup De Burst'. The ship flew away in front of Garp, Aokiji and the others. "It takes 3 coke barrels but we can make Thousand Sunny flying 1 km away with this!!" Franky told us.
"Whatever your Going Merry did. This ship can do everything!! This ship surpasses it on every point!! This Thousand Sunny will inherit that ship's brave spirit!!! If it breaks, I'll fix it without flaw!!! Count on me for your ship and weapon needs!!! From this day on, This is your ship!!!" Franky added again.
