Third Person POV
Water Seven, First Half of Grandline.
…
…
Luffy continued walking until he reached where Franky was, looking at him cautiously.
He said nothing as he walked, it was only when he sat down in front of the famous bully known throughout Water Seven that he greeted him. “So you’re the famous Franky,” he said and continued. “Like you, my name is Monkey D. Luffy. Do you mind if I drink your cola?” Luffy suggested and didn’t even wait for the other’s response before grabbing the cola bottle and bringing it to him.
The place was in utter silence, as everyone watched Luffy taking the bottle and opening it with the sound of gas, nobody moved a muscle, it didn’t seem anymore like they were in a bustling place like the Franky House, after all who would dare breathe in the presence of this monster?
Luffy drank the cola calmly, not caring about what was happening around him. “You know… this is a bit disappointing, I was expecting a different taste, this seems more like Pepsi…” Luffy murmured with a tone of dissatisfaction, “Still, it’s a nostalgic taste…” He said, drinking the rest of the container.
“Ahhh,” he released the gas-filled breath and turned back to the pervert in front of him. “I just made a visit with your friend, Iceburg. A very nice guy, however, naive, I took some of his staff.”
“Iceburg?” Franky finally snapped out of his shock upon hearing Luffy’s words. “What did you do to him?” He asked worriedly.
“I did nothing to him, but there were some government agents looking for a kind of weapon, they hoped Iceburg had it…” Luffy gave a small smile, while Franky began to sweat. “It’s a shame they looked in the wrong place, isn’t it?” When Luffy said these words, a deadly silence took over the place more than ever.
Franky seemed to have lost his footing at that moment, paralyzed by Luffy’s words, after all what was being discussed was the Pluton plans with him at that moment.
A moment passed and Franky finally made a move, jumping back, “I WILL NEVER HAND THIS OVER TO YOU!” He said gaining some courage and pointed his arm with a barrel in the middle of the palm at Luffy, who just looked amused at the cyborg.
Before Franky could shoot at Luffy, a hand grabbed him by the neck lifting him off the ground while Luffy was already in front of him like a kitten.
“You know you can’t resist this…” He said calmly as Franky struggled to break free.
“Boss Franky!” His companions at the site shouted desperately at that.
“We should stop him!” One spoke up quickly.
“Even if we die here, we’ll fight!” Another said.
Luffy was not bothered by them and around him, a wave of haki was released, making everyone there faint the next moment.
Franky, already scared, became even more alarmed seeing all his colleagues fallen on the ground, with no one else conscious.
Luffy used his free hand to open the cyborg’s elbow, while he struggled, but in vain, Luffy took the papers inside him and threw him on the ground the next moment.
Franky fell stunned looking fearfully at Luffy as he looked at the papers. ‘Let’s at least read this…’ Luffy thought and used his moa moa no mi to read everything quickly in less than 20 seconds and memorize everything, he at least wanted to understand a bit about this weapon, it might be useful for him to do some things with this information.
He didn’t intend to build a second Pluton, after all, there’s already one under Wano and if his theory was correct, the key to activating the military ship, which should be considered a nuclear ship, would somehow be Vivi, after all, everything indicates that the Nefertari D. blood has to do with the weapon. But Luffy is still curious about the weapon’s skeleton and how it works.
He finished reading and looked at Franky still glaring at him with clenched teeth. “This weapon is too dangerous to keep, you should have destroyed it a long time ago.” He concluded and picked up a den den mushi.
Pointing the den den mushi at the paper while he dialed, “Sengoku, send this video to the World Government, your chances of getting your hands on Pluton end here,” he said, and the papers in his hand quickly caught fire, disappearing into ashes. Luffy looked satisfied and hung up the den den mushi, this call would be sent and using his intuition, he could tell what he did was indeed real.
“You see, Franky… I just did something that could have ended your life,” Luffy said, crossing his arms to the man still on the ground.
“You destroyed all the plans…” He murmured in disbelief, after all, he could not believe that Luffy had absorbed it all.
“Yes. Now let’s see the others. I have to introduce you to your new crewmates,” Luffy said.
“What do you mean by that? Hm?!” He didn’t finish when Luffy grabbed him by the clothes and started to leave while Franky tried once more to get out of his grip, at least it wasn’t by the neck now.
“Hey answer me! Why are you carrying me like this!” Franky tried to speak, but Luffy ignored him while kicking the exit door and flying into the air, heading towards the port.
“The city is quite empty… I guess that’s normal due to our reputation, but it’s kind of boring… it’s not like we were going to destroy every place we dock,” Luffy commented looking at the closed houses, feeling all the people in the city scared of them.
He went towards the Black Pearl anchoring in the port at that moment and approached in the air. “AHHHHHH LET ME GO, NO, DON’T LET ME GO, BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO FALL FROM THIS HEIGHT, BUT PUT ME ON THE GROUND!” Franky screamed as he was carried, his crew looked towards the screams in the air and saw Luffy landing on the deck with a man in swimwear, floral clothing, and blue hair.
“Luffy, what is this?” Vivi asked wanting to understand.
“This is our new companion, just like Enel, he will be our engineer,” Luffy said with a small smile.
“Who said I’m your engineer!?” Franky shouted with a comical face after hearing that, despite the scare he took.
“Companion?! This is just a pervert,” Nami crossed her arms and looked suspicious.
“Thanks for the supeerrrr-compliment!” Franky seemed happy with that.
“THAT WAS NOT A COMPLIMENT!” Nami shouted with a comical face.
“Luffy… what have you brought to the crew now…” Lami commented on the side with eyes on the captain.
“Don’t worry, he’s trustworthy, despite being a weakling now, he can be very strong in the future,” Luffy slapped Franky on the back who was getting up from the ground, making him fly with Luffy’s slap going towards the ship’s door.
At that moment, Hugo appeared opening the door and saw a man in swimwear flying towards him while screaming. “Hm?!” He looked strangely at that and kicked the man, who flew before hitting the mast and falling unconscious.
“Did you kill him!?” Usopp shouted stunned.
“He’s our crewmate? He’s injured! Call a doctor!” Chopper was scared.
“WOOLF! WOOLF!” Chouchou barked.
“AHHH that’s right! I’m a doctor!” Chopper said and went to treat Franky.
“Hahahaha. It’s good that we’re still in a good mood,” Luffy laughed seeing this interaction and turned back to Hugo. “How are our prisoners?”
“Placed in their cells, no chance of escaping,” He said and Luffy nodded.
“Luffy! I wanted to see this city, but… where is everybody?!” Uta said pointing to the empty city.
“It seems the world is afraid of us… So it’s better to get used to it, told the mayor we’re going to stay a few days and we don’t intend to cause trouble unless necessary, soon the city will function again,” Luffy said.
“So I would like to see this place,” Robin commented.
“Yes, I also want to see, I haven’t seen a city like this!” Shirahoshi shouted excitedly.
“You all can go, as Hugo said, we have 4 days. I’ll deal with Franky, you can do whatever you want,” Luffy said and went to the cyborg all bandaged up by Chopper.
Seeing this, many of the crew decided to head to the city, especially the women going to clothing stores and riding carts through the city’s rivers, while Zoro, Kuina, and Chouchou stayed with Luffy, some to train and others to sleep as Luffy saw Chouchou lying on the deck peacefully.
Luffy approached the bandaged Franky and slapped him on the head. “Hm?! I swear I had a strange dream that I was kidnapped by a pirate and he made me join his crew…” He murmured waking up, but seeing Luffy in front of him, he started to sweat.
“Yo!” He said with a small smile.
“What do you want?! I’m not going to join your crew!” Franky spoke firmly.
“You know you don’t have a choice, you were with the Pluton plans, do you really think the government won’t go after you after knowing this, hoping you read the contents that Tom sacrificed his life to protect?” Luffy asked calmly, and Franky seemed to clench his teeth.
“They wouldn’t do that…” Franky spoke, and Luffy wanted to laugh at him.
“Yes, they would, trust me, I have many crew members who hate them to a degree that even scares me,” Luffy joked, but there were some whose hatred surprised him after what they had been through, and he didn’t blame them.
“Why do you want me to go with you?” Franky asked sincerely, he didn’t seem to see much value in himself as this pirate looked at him, after all, this crew was made of monsters, he would be a useless guy.
“Don’t underestimate your value, Franky… You have potential, more important than your strength, is your talent. You can come on our journey, we need good engineers, look at this ship, wouldn’t you like to study it?” Luffy suggested, pointing to the Black Pearl.
“I…” He would be lying if he said he wasn’t enchanted by this ship, which had already appeared in the newspaper a few times with its name. Looking closely, it was quite impressive with its 50 meters.
“Moreover, wouldn’t you like to build a ship for me, I need someone to make a secondary ship for the crew, can you make this ship for me, I’m willing to provide all sorts of material, how about it?” Luffy asked, and Franky finally had a positive look.
“I can build a ship for you?!” Franky was surprised, after all, no one wanted his skills, and he ended up being a gangster in Water Seven. If this pirate wants his work, this is an opportunity for him to fulfill his dream of building the perfect ship!
