"This?!" Iceburg exclaimed, bewildered as he watched what was happening in front of him.
"Usopp! Hand me that tool!" Franky shouted as Hugo lifted a huge base of adam wood, the most durable in the known world, effortlessly while they used a construction base next to Black Pearl to make what Luffy believed to be, the Sunny Go.
Iceburg was worried about what could have happened to Franky, so he immediately went to his house, concerned that Monkey D. Luffy would get his hands on the plans for Pluton, and became even more scared when he saw that Luffy had arrived there and kidnapped Franky.
However, as soon as he went to the dock where the pirate ship was, he came across a strange scene, Franky was commanding the construction of a ship at that very moment, as an experienced shipbuilder after years of learning with Tom before even creating his own company, he could identify all those materials they were using. Luffy bought them through his store spending a bit of his money, but for a good use.
Luffy had called some of his companions for the construction of a new ship as soon as he planned with Franky what the ship would be like. The male members were interested, and the place was filled by Hachi, Bepo, Usopp, Hugo, Chopper, and even Zoro, who came at Luffy's call.
"THIS WILL BE SUPERRR-COOL!" Franky shouted excitedly.
"Franky!!" Iceburg couldn't help but call out to his old friend.
"Hm?! Iceburg?" Franky looked towards the mayor and smiled as he jumped from the skeleton of the ship to approach the old acquaintance.
"Look at this Iceburg! I'm building the perfect ship!" He declared, pointing to the Straw Hats working.
Iceburg frowned. "What do you mean by building a perfect ship. And the blueprints, that pirate knew you had them, didn't he?" He said nervously, not caring that Luffy might be listening to their whole conversation.
"About that... Yes, he took them." Franky spoke, scratching his head.
"WHAT?! AND NOW YOU'RE WORKING WITH THEM? HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?! WE CAN'T LET THE BLUEPRINTS FALL INTO THE HANDS OF A PIRATE!" Iceburg practically begged.
"About that, the pirate destroyed them in front of me... And now I can't stay here... The government will come after me as soon as they find out I had the blueprints." He said.
"What do you mean?" Iceburg was surprised that Luffy destroyed them, at least it was better that these blueprints no longer existed than someone having them with the intention of using them, but was surprised by Franky saying he could no longer stay.
"I'm leaving, it's complicated, but I've become a pirate of the Straw Hats and will be departing with them soon." He said, it's not like he accepted it right away, but Luffy convinced him, seeing that he could be pursued, and now he was realizing his dream.
"You can't be serious..." What shocked Iceburg the most wasn't the fact that Luffy knew the location of the blueprints, but how he convinced Franky to join the pirates before even he could leave his company until he finally found him.
"It's true, Franky has a lot of potential." Luffy intervened with his calm and distant tone, causing Iceburg to frown. "He's a member of my crew now, so we'll take care of him." Luffy said calmly.
Putting that aside, Luffy returned to the construction of the ship's skeleton, he saw someone approaching. "Master, you need me." Baby-5 approached in her maid dress.
"Yes, I want you to use your power to weld some things here." Luffy pointed to some iron joining with the adam wood.
"Then die!" Baby-5, as always, changed her personality and pointed a missile at Luffy's head, making everyone look at them, the crew was already accustomed to this behavior and Luffy told everyone not to interfere since any joke the girl plays on him is useless.
"If you shoot me, and it only affects me, it'll be fine, but if you destroy any part of this construction, I'll make you regret it." Luffy said calmly looking at the missile in front of him, but his voice carried a threat that Baby-5 had never heard before, after all, he never really had to reprimand this woman.
Baby-5, with a determined face, became a bit nervous at that and quickly transformed her hand back to normal, having a shy expression. "I'm sorry for upsetting you, master. I'll do it right now!" She said cheerfully in the end and went to weld what Luffy asked with one of her hands turning into a blowtorch.
The construction on the ship continued, the girls walked around the town, but as the whole town was scared, almost no shop was open for them, so it was more of a sightseeing trip than a shopping spree.
Many inhabitants came to Iceburg asking about the pirates' intentions, he ended up saying that as long as they don't cause trouble for them, they will be peaceful. The first day of construction was quite invigorating, the skeleton of the ship was all structured before the real construction began, thanks to the strength and power of the members.
"This is superrrr-done!" Franky shouted with joy as he fitted the anti-arms in a characteristic pose of his.
"Hey, how did you get him to join so quickly, Luffy?" Uta asked curiously, after all, that guy didn't seem very willing at the beginning to join the crew.
"The husband knows how to use his charisma," Alvida said beside.
"Amazing, Luffy-Sama!" Shirahoshi said.
"Sharky!"
"Let's celebrate with a feast!" Luffy said as they prepared that Dock into a big party.
Far from the location, members of Franky's gang looked on from a distance. "Franky-Aniki is in danger!" Said one.
"I don't think so. Look at him." He pointed to Franky jumping, drinking cola, and laughing, pointing at the ship.
"What are we going to do?" Said a woman with a Black Power hairstyle.
"What if they've bewitched him or something?" Said another woman identical to the last.
Luffy looked at that group from a distance and returned to Franky, "Franky, go talk to your people, I wouldn't like to receive an attack and destroy your precious ship," Luffy said.
"Hm?! True, I'll talk to my superr-companions!" He said, going to the location.
"You recruited him so quickly..." Zoro approached with alcohol while Luffy was with Nojiko at his side.
"Hahaha. You're right, I thought it would be much more difficult, but in the end, we got our engineer," Luffy said, looking at the system in front of him.
[System: You have recruited Franky as a member of your crew.]
Putting the system aside, Luffy continued with his crew while many people looked from afar at the pirates having a party, but no one approached. Franky's group ended up joining them that night, after clearing things up. In the end, the feast grew, and Franky's gang mingled with them for the rest of the night.
The next day, Luffy returned to the work of the ship, and Iceburg appeared with his company, "I didn't like how you did things, however, I still recognize that you helped us, so we will help you with the ship, if you don't mind," He said, and Luffy nodded.
"I still can't believe Lucci was a government agent, but I still recognize that you helped us!" Paulie said.
The group also gathered around the skeleton of the ship, even Franky's gang helped, while Franky was the chief engineer who eventually gave way to Iceburg.
In the town, citizens began to leave their houses, seeing that the pirates were just building a ship with the mayor and Franky, shops began to open, and the girls were able to enjoy their stay in the city better, but this could not be said for new visitors, as soon as they saw the characteristic black ship of the Straw Hats in the port, they turned ship to escape from that city.
At the end of that day, another banquet was made by the crew. The routine continued and the city finally got used to the pirates and didn't seem to be afraid, although they trembled in fear when Nami asked for a discount in their shops, even making clothes or anything she wanted for free, making the navigator leave the shops very happy.
"This is the train Luffy-sama talked about!" Shirahoshi pointed to a means of transport approaching the location.
"Luffy..." Usopp approached, feeling something coming from that train.
"Yes, there's a government agent on that train to spy on us, Hugo, can you take him out?" Luffy spoke calmly, sensing a very dark aura, probably an assassin, maybe even CP0. Hugo, someone who enjoyed killing anyone related to the government, seemed happy with this kind of job and went into the city.
After a while, there was a small explosion somewhere as Luffy carried wood for the ship, but he knew Hugo had done his job.
Another day, an agent tried to approach using Geppo, "Usopp, take him down." Luffy said, and Usopp looked up at the blue sky before grabbing his gigantic rifle and shooting with his light power, killing the agent trying to infiltrate the city.
"Next time, let me handle them!" Zoro complained in the end, having no chance to take care of any agents. But his chance was denied as on the last day, they were having a farewell party and, unexpectedly, the city joined them, eating and drinking merrily with the pirates.
"Our last day here, soon we will set off to the sea, as we have a big negotiation to make!" Luffy declared and looked at the ship, which was still not ready and needed a few more days. "Franky will stay to meet up with us, Usopp and Bepo. You can stay here and help him with the finishing touches and then meet up with us after Enies Lobby." Luffy suggested, Usopp would be more useful here than on the legal island, and Bepo could levitate the ship to catch up to them faster, not wanting the government to find out now that his crew possesses the power of the fuwa fuwa no mi.
"Yes, Luffy."
"Yes, captain!"
"And those who have been with me since Alabasta, we haven't had a direct confrontation with the government together, but make no mistake! At Enies Lobby, we will face some admirals and powerful forces, so prepare yourselves for this great meeting!" Luffy announced, and those fascinated with fighting were happy to hear this, after all, it was a chance to show once again their growth, and the event with the green bull hadn't done that very well.
