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

Franky: "!!!"

The two brothers exchanged a glance and cautiously inquired about Crocus's identity.

"Me? I'm just... [unintelligible characters]"

"That's the Pirate King's ship doctor! How could he be ordinary!" Franky grinned. "Aww—I'm suddenly very interested in this pirate crew! I don't plan to dismantle a ship with a ship spirit; in fact, I have a better idea..."

Franky looked at the Mk series design drawings on the dining table and grinned.

"Let's give the Going Merry a battle suit!"

Oh?

The Straw Hat Pirates' eyes lit up!

They're wide awake when you talk about this!

"Everyone, let's make our suggestions now regarding any features you'd like to see," Franky said confidently.

"Really?" Sanji's eyes lit up. "I want a refrigerator with a lock! The kind made of seastone!"

Sanji has been suffering from Luffy's thievery for a long time, and now he's going to deliver the final blow!

“A locked refrigerator is a minor issue, but the Seastone…” Franky hesitated.

Those are supplies controlled by the Navy; even the Seven Waters don't have them.

"Don't worry!" Sanji looked at Sima Di and said, "Sima is a Word Spirit Fruit user, so materializing Seastone is just a matter of a word."

"Oh?" Franky looked at Sima Di with surprise: "It can materialize Seastone? Then the Adam Tree trunk..."

Emperor Sima smiled.

He casually asked, "How much do you want?"

Good guy!

Franky never dreamed that the "Adam's Branch," the shipwright's most treasured possession, would one day be able to "determine its own size"!

He couldn't help but exclaim, "Your ability... is just too convenient!"

Emperor Sima shrugged.

How come after knowing he has the ability to "manifest," the first evaluation is always "convenient"?

but......

Speaking of the Hades blueprints, this should be a famous scene, right?

and......

Sima Di remembered the "Power Core of Hades" he had previously signed in, wondering if it could be installed on the new ship?

That sounds so exciting!

Yes,

Sima Di said directly, "Actually, I found something interesting in Alabasta before... It seems to be the power core of Hades."

Franky and the others were all shocked!

"Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"

"If equipped with the Hades power core... the Going Merry will definitely surpass the Orochi!"

......

Compared to everyone else's excitement, Franky and Iceberg looked a little off.

The crowd's excitement quickly cooled.

Franky said seriously, "..."

?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?

5000+ words!

7 more auto-subscriptions needed for an extra chapter! ~ Xian.

33. Upgrade the Going Merry! It'll be hard to end things without becoming the Pirate King!

Franky said seriously, "The Pluto Power Core... must absolutely not be known to anyone else! Otherwise, the world's political and government governments will go crazy!"

This left everyone puzzled.

Is it that serious?

Can a power core really be valued more than design blueprints?

"Do you know why the world government suspected I had the blueprints for Hades, but only sent CP9 to infiltrate?" Iceberg asked.

The crowd shook their heads.

But I vaguely understand...

It's probably related to this "Pluto Power Core".

"Because the Hades Power Core was specially manufactured by a great kingdom, it is a treasure that cannot be replicated in this era!" Franky said in a deep voice, "Even in the Hades design blueprints, the Hades Power Core does not exist, so even if it were obtained by the World Government, it would be impossible to create Hades."

Everyone was stunned!

That's it!

No wonder Franky and the other man looked so serious.

While the blueprints for Hades are enticing, they are ultimately just "understandable technology." The weapons and structures depicted are valuable for reference and could greatly enhance the power of the world's political warships.

But it's just icing on the cake.

But if it's the power core of Hades...

Then there really is a possibility of replicating Hades!

This is a sinister warship capable of shattering the "ancient continent of Alabasta" into countless pieces scattered along the Grand Line; no world government could possibly resist its allure.

They recognized the seriousness of the situation.

The group tacitly agreed to stop discussing the topic and keep it to themselves from now on.

Franky, however, laughed. 890

"With Adam's Branch! With... this power core! And the complete blueprints for this battle suit, I'm confident I can build the strongest warship! Hahahaha—"

Of course I'm confident!

The Pluto blueprints, as a "historical sinful warship," are like the "Pirate King" to the shipwrights. He would resist looking at them, having kept them safe all this time.

The newly designed ship is bound to be extraordinary!

Robin and Iceberg, who have always opposed the appearance of "Ancient Weapons," have no intention of stopping it.

after all......

Putting aside the fact that Franky couldn't directly replicate Hades, that would be a massive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive project that only a behemoth like the World Government could undertake.

Even if it is really "Pluto",

They would feel extremely reassured if the Straw Hat Pirates were to use it!

This thought gives them a lot of motivation!

Halfway back,

The Going Merry encountered ships from Water 7, but the citizens, worried about Iceberg and his crew, spontaneously prepared to go to Enies Lobby to "plead for them."

Of course, it's not needed now.

Return to Water Seven

The Going Merry was sent directly to Carrera's No. 1 dock.

Sima Di also took out the Pluto power core, a complex device, its size alone comparable to the Going Merry. If it were installed...

To what extent should the Going Merry be expanded?

“The keel of the Going Merry is its core. As long as the keel is not replaced, the ship spirit will be fine,” Franky analyzed. “The new ship can use the keel of the Going Merry as a storage room to store the Hades power core, and then use the three keels to sandwich this storage room, and then put on its battle suit along this part.”

That's a novel idea!

The first thing they said was "Three Dragon Bones," which sounds impressive but is actually quite mysterious!

Sima Di was completely unaware of this and directly materialized an entire dock full of Adam's trunks according to the specifications requested by Franky.

—If it weren't for the blessing that sustains the energy, this workload would probably have taken half a year to complete.

But Emperor Sima was still so exhausted that his throat was practically on fire!

"Hahaha—with so many Adam tree trunks, I'm going to make the deck out of Adam tree trunks!" Franky boasted arrogantly. "Then even if we get hit head-on by a cannonball, there won't be any problem!"

Iceberg and the other boatmen listened from the sidelines, their eyes twitching.

Use the trunk of the Adam tree to pave the deck?

This extravagance is simply outrageous—it's outrageous to the extreme!

Even the Celestial Dragons wouldn't do something like that!
