The person is wearing a straw hat, and starts with the power of words!

"Tch~ In the end, I still couldn't test my limits."

Sima Di put away the Hyōrin Maru and flew towards the Going Merry.

as soon as it landed,

The crowd gathered around nervously.

"Are you alright, Sima?"

"You actually managed to escape from the Admiral?"

"As expected of you, Sima, you're too strong!"

"The Admirals must be very strong, right?"

......

The crowd was chattering away, making Sima Di's head buzz.

【Quiet!】

The scene immediately fell into a deathly silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Sima Di rubbed his temples.

"That Kuzang didn't fight me. He asked me a few strange questions and then ran away."

This answer surprised everyone!

They just asked a few questions and then left?

He's a naval admiral!

Faced with pirates who buried Enies Lobby and sank the Buster Call fleet, why didn't they choose to capture them?

At once......

It has a strange feel to it!

Could it be...

What extraordinary status did Emperor Sima have?

"Wow—thank you so much this time!" Franky struck a strange pose: "Without us, we wouldn't have been able to rescue Iceberg."

"Yes!"

"It's so good that Mr. Iceberg is alright."

"Thank you so much!"

......

Many of the boatmen from Carare expressed their gratitude.

They didn't know why the iceberg was captured, nor were they interested in knowing.

They only care about the safety of the iceberg.

After expressing his sincere gratitude, Iceberg looked at Franky.

"Everyone, can I speak with the Straw Hats alone?" Iceberg looked at Franky's family and his own boatmen.

"Okay! You can go ahead without worry. Leave the boat handling to us," Barry said sensibly.

"This ship is extraordinary; even the water gods cannot harm it."

"It's a pity it's too small. Straw Hat Boys, with so many of you, it must be very crowded, right?"

......

Iceberg led Franky and the Straw Hat Pirates to the restaurant.

As soon as you enter the door,

He looked at Robin and said, "But you also heard about the whereabouts of the Hades blueprints, right?"

Robin nodded and looked at Franky.

Franky had an "I knew it" look on his face.

"I knew it! Those CP9 bastards were after the Hades blueprints!"

"Huh? The blueprints for Hades?" Vivi exclaimed in surprise. "Isn't that Crocodile's target? I never expected it to be..."

“Pluto was originally built by the shipwrights of Water Seven, so it’s not surprising that the blueprints are still there,” Robin explained.

Clearly, she saw all of this in the original history books of Alabasta.

"Frankie, you should understand that you are no longer fit to remain in Water Seven," Iceberg said seriously. "The World Government already knows you are carrying the blueprints for Hades and will definitely take action. If you continue to stay..."

It will only bring disaster to the entire Water Seven!

Frankie remained silent.

When Iceberg gave him the blueprints for Hades, his intention was to keep him away from Water Seven.

But because of his deep love for Water Seven, he chose to change his name and remain in Water Seven as Franky.

but now......

It seems it really is time to leave.

Franky looked at Sima Di and said, "Sima kid, when you said you were going to leave the battle suit design blueprints to the shipwrights, you were anticipating this outcome, weren't you?"

But Franky didn't realize something was wrong, and afterwards, no matter how he thought about it, something just didn't feel right!

Emperor Sima smiled but remained silent.

"Tch, everyone says you're smart, but I didn't expect you to start scheming so early," Franky said unhappily. "Do you still stand by your word now?"

Sima Di took out all the Mk series design drawings and piled them on the dining table.

“You can take it anytime,” Sima Di said.

Franky sighed.

He then turned to Luffy and said arrogantly, "Hey, Straw Hat, I want to be the shipwright of this pirate crew, is there a problem?"

This doesn't sound like asking for someone's opinion; it's practically an "information."

How could an ordinary person stand such an insult?

But Luffy is no ordinary person!

Having fought alongside Franky, he knew that Franky was just being stubborn and that there was nothing wrong with his nature—otherwise, he wouldn't have been so determined to come to Enies Lobby to rescue Iceberg.

"Of course, no problem! The Going Merry will definitely welcome you!" Luffy grinned.

That sunny smile softened Franky's expression somewhat.

He then proposed, "This ship is too small. I have an idea for a dream ship, what do you think...?"

"We can't switch ships!" Luffy said firmly. "The Going Merry is also our comrade! I would never abandon my comrades!"

"Damn it! I thought you were alright, but you come up here and tell us to abandon the Going Merry!" Usopp grinned.

This is Kaya's Merry!

The others also looked displeased, clearly resistant to the suggestion.

"No wonder this ship has a ship spirit; it treats the ship as a partner," Iceberg exclaimed.

“Who says otherwise?” Franky nodded.

This is one of the reasons why he was willing to join the Straw Hat Pirates.

For a boatman

There's practically no better choice than a pirate crew that can give birth to a ship spirit!

"Huh? What's a ship spirit?" Nami asked, puzzled.

"A ship spirit is a spirit that arises from the crew's mutual care and love for the ship. When the ship becomes close enough to the crew, it will appear when the crew needs it in return," Iceberg explained.

"The ship crashing through the dock gate and appearing underwater from the main gate of Enies Lobby must have been the ship spirits sensing the danger to your companions and coming to rescue you," Franky added.

This left the Straw Hat Pirates completely stunned!

Then I burst into tears of emotion!

"Waaaaah—the Going Merry has a life too!"

"Merry! We will never abandon you!"

......

Sima Di looked at Luffy and his companions, who had suddenly burst into tears, and laughed.

He then looked at Crocus and asked, "Auro...?"

“Of course!” Crocus said proudly.

This surprised Iceberg and Franky!

"Auro????勩???巨伧???????龥???氥??箮?

"Hmm... speaking of which, building Auro... (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the initial statement.)"
