Chapter 138 Garp's Pursuit

As Franky struck his pose, the remaining Iceberg, Barry, Bipley, Thaleston, and Granny Kokoro all spit out their saliva and stared wide-eyed at Franky, who was now displaying his entire body to the world.

"That bastard!"

"Wow! I underestimated him, he's so stubborn! But he's a real man among men!" Luffy shouted, his mouth agape as he stared at Franky striking a pose.

"Damn it! He's just an even bigger pervert!" Nami, choking on her drink, slapped Luffy, the instigator, on the head and cursed him.

"Ah! My eyes are blind again!" Angelia, who had just jumped off Jack's back, screamed when she saw this scene again. She flapped her wings and rushed back to the cabin, pulling up the velvet blanket and burying herself deep in it.

"Hey! What's wrong with Angelia?" Mia, who was tidying up the bedding in the girls' dormitory, asked curiously as she looked at Angelia, who was buried in the blankets.

"Sister Mia! Don't go out! There's a pervert outside!"

"Really? Then I'm even more determined to go out and see." Mia tossed her fluffy, golden hair and said with a grin as she turned and went out.

"Perverted? What kind of pervert?" Robin, who had stuffed the books into the desk, smiled and followed him out. Just as he reached the door, he heard a scream.

"He really is a pervert!"

"Nami! Don't stop me! I'll cut him down!" Mia, with one foot on the railing, pushed Nami, who was hugging her waist, away with one hand, while wielding the 'Star Mark' blade to chop down with the other.

"Hey! Hey! Mia, we invited him onto the ship! We didn't cut him up!" Nami said, hugging Mia tightly as she struggled in her arms.

"Hehehe! What a real man!" Robin, who had also stepped out of the cabin, covered his lips and chuckled.

"Nami! Let me tie him up!" Jack looked at the furious Mia with a helpless expression. If this continued, he would really be missing a part. He stretched out his tiger paw and formed an iron cloud chain, flew over and tied him into a cloud ball and pulled him over.

"Hey! Hey! Straw Hats, let me go right now! I appreciate your invitation, but I have my reasons for staying on this island!" Franky gripped the railing tightly, forcibly stopping himself from being pulled away by Jack, and said earnestly as he looked at Luffy's figure.

"Besides, I've already retired from ship repair! This is my last work, and it also carries my long-cherished wish: the 'Dream Ship'!"

"Wait, Franky! This ship isn't your dream ship yet! You said back then that only by crossing countless seas and storms to reach the end of the ocean can it be considered a dream ship! You want to witness that day with your own eyes!" Iceberg, who was getting increasingly suspicious, stopped him directly from the side!

"But what I want to do now is different!" Franky turned around and roared angrily upon hearing Iceberg's rebuke!

"Is it different? You are atoning! Atoning for what you thought you did wrong back then. In fact, Mr. Tom forgave you that day! Neither I nor anyone else held a grudge against you! Franky, you've done enough over the years! Now it's time to pursue your dreams, don't let your talents be buried here! You! Should live for your dreams!"

"You bastard, Bagoo! I'll teach you a lesson!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah! You damn Straw Hats, you're squeezing me so hard! You bastards! You bastards! Why don't you loosen your grip a little?! It hurts like hell!" After being explained by Iceberg, Franky, whose whole body was wrapped in the Iron Cloud Whip, burst into tears and roared wildly at the Straw Hat crew standing on the Class A platform.

"Hey! A dog-headed warship is coming from behind Luffy! Looks like it's here to chase us!" Zoro shouted down from the lookout tower, ignoring the chaos below.

"Hey! That's Grandpa's ship! We have to get out of here right now!" Luffy panicked and shouted when he heard Zoro's shout.

"Hey! Straw Hat Luffy! Here, this is Franky's package!" With a shout from afar, a black package fell from the sky toward Luffy.

"Thank you! We'll definitely take good care of Franky." He reached out and took the package, thanking the figure in the distance.

"Frankie, we may be a little clumsy, but we have to consider your happiness. We can't let you lose your dream because of us! Big brother, set sail with your dream! We will take good care of ourselves!" The members of the Frankie family stood together, their faces streaked with tears, looking at their eldest brother and letting out the strongest roar in their hearts. Although they were reluctant to part with him, they had to send him away for the sake of their eldest brother's talent. The distant world was his stage.

"Bastards! Bastards! You bunch of idiots! Who will take care of you bunch of people who can't even fix a house if I'm gone!" Franky, who was clinging to the railing with both hands and feet, turned around and roared at his underlings' angry shouts.

"Frankie, go out and make your own way! We'll handle them!" Iceberg said with a smile, looking at Frankie who had opened up.

"Waaah! Waaah! You bastard Bagoo! You little minions!" Upon hearing his words, Franky's body went limp, and he cursed through the railing.

"Haha! Franky, get on board! We're waiting for you to set sail! Otherwise, Grandpa will destroy the new ship!" Luffy kicked away a cannonball and turned around laughing.

"Haha! Franky's just missing you!"

"Frankie! Welcome to the team!"

"Frankie! This ship has an energy system that I provided, it can't be damaged!" Merry rolled over and climbed onto Frankie's shoulder, shouting.

"You pervert! Even though you're a bit of a pervert, as long as you don't blind me, I won't let Zoro and the other two break your legs!"

"If that's the case, I won't slice you up anymore!" Mia said, her anger also subsiding.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! You bunch of bastards who can't even protect your own ship, you would have been destroyed without my newly built vessel! Straw Hats, furl the sails! You'll see my new weapons!" Having recovered, Franky looked at his farewell underlings in the distance and his friends nearby, laughing loudly, releasing all his emotions! He then leaped towards the distant ship's helm!

"Haha! Luffy, I've come to see you guys! That bastard Sengoku insisted that I capture you! How pathetic! As a vice admiral, I cannot disobey the fleet admiral's orders!" Garp, holding cannonballs, stood at the bow of the ship and laughed wildly. Instantly, countless cannonballs were scattered by his powerful arm, filling the sky and falling wildly towards the Straw Hat crew.

"Iron Cloud Barrier!" A white barrier, tens of meters in diameter, instantly formed, intercepting the cannonballs flying in the sky and causing a series of booming sounds!

"Grandpa! Goodbye, Kobi! I can't let you catch me!" Luffy stood straight at the stern of the ship and said confidently, ignoring the exploding cannonballs around him.

"Luffy! This is not up to you! Try this gift that has the same function as your space! Bone Fist Meteorite!" Garp pulled out a giant cannonball with a diameter of tens of meters from somewhere, grabbed the giant hinge below, and hurled it wildly at the ship in the distance.

"It's over! It's over! It's going to crash down!"

"Zoro! Mia, quickly cut it down!"

"Wait! Franky!"

"Everyone, make sure you hold onto the nearby fixed objects!"

"Haha! Grandpa! Kobi! We're escaping! Until we meet again!" Luffy roared wildly at the last moment.

"Wind! Explosion!" The giant cylinder at the rear of the new ship instantly erupted with a powerful blast of air, and the entire ship lifted off the sea and soared into the distant sky.

"Damn it! They suddenly flew away! Now we can't catch them! We'll have to explain to Sengoku!" Garp cursed as he looked at the ship, which was now just a black dot in the distance, and silently pulled back the hinge in his hand to put the huge iron ball away again.

"They flew away! They can actually fly!" Kobi and Belmero stared into the distance, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Yes! I saw it!" Aokiji, who was sleeping beside him, nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Aokiji, is it really alright for you to stay here?"

"The journey is too far, I'm too lazy to ride my bike back." Aokiji became lazy after putting his mask back on.

···

"Haha! It's over! It's over! We should go back too!" Granny Kokoro laughed as she looked at the black dots in the distance.

"We're exhausted! We should go back and get some sleep!" Barry and the others yawned as they packed up their tools.

A figure appeared in a dark window in the distance!

"Lucci! They're gone!" Kaku, his body wrapped in bandages and leaning on crutches, replied, watching the departing spaceship.

"Cough cough! Got it!" A figure lying on the sofa coughed, struggling to stand up.

"Lucci, be careful!" The figure with bull horns on his head staggered and tried to help him up, but his limp body made him powerless.

"Cough cough! I'm not so weak that I need to be helped up!" Lu Qi, who had just stood up, waved his hand weakly and said as he leaned against the window frame, watching the black dot disappear into the distance.

"Straw Hat Crew! We'll meet again someday!"

"Creak!" With a crisp sound of the door opening, a woman carrying a full load of food saw the figure by the bed and hurriedly came over to help.

"Lucci, why are you up! You need to rest for a few days!"

The figure by the window didn't answer, turned to the woman walking away, and asked, "Kalifa! How are the others, Otonashi?"

"It's not a big problem! The wages we had left over are enough to cover our medical expenses for recovery. It's just that Gabra has too many broken bones and it will take some time to heal."

"That's good! Find a Den Den Mushi to help me contact Spandam!"

"no problem!"

Chapter 139 The Straw Hat Crew Shocks the World Once Again

"Hahaha! Hahaha! It really flies! This is the flying ship Mabe was talking about!" Usopp shouted, clinging tightly to the ship's railing and feeling the howling wind around him.

"Haha! He has more than just the ability to fly instantly!" Franky laughed, standing against the wind, holding the ship's rudder.

"Haha! Franky, you're amazing! Our new ship doesn't have a name yet, so let's come up with one!" Luffy laughed heartily as he stretched out his arms and hugged the sunflower at the bow of the ship.

"agree!"

"agree!"

···

With a dull thud, everyone landed safely on the sea surface.

"Haha! Then I'll call it the Black Bear, White Bear, and Lion."

"No!" Everyone looked disgusted.

“The Sleeping Lion!” Zoro exclaimed.

Even worse!

"Dark Pill!"

"The Judge!"

"Chasing stars and the moon!"

"Lion!"

"The Cherry Blossom Pirate Ship!"

"White Tiger Soaring to the Sky!"

"The New Life of the Merry!"

"Frankie Lion King Champion!"

"No! No! None of them are acceptable! What kind of names have you all come up with?" Whenever someone suggested a name, it was rejected by the entire group. In the end, they looked around and couldn't come up with a name that anyone could agree on.

"I do have a name, which was given to me by that bastard Baggu!" Franky reminded his bewildered companions.

"What's your name!"

"He said that we would sail across the vast ocean and overcome all difficulties to finally reach the sunny shore! He also named the ship 'Ten Thousand Miles of Sunshine'!"

"Hey! Not bad! Uncle Iceberg came up with a good name!"
