One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

"It seems you understand the meaning of this mask, Mr. Iceberg." Crimson chuckled, but under his incredulous gaze, she produced another head that had been frozen in ice.

Although the grotesque face and shattered cheekbones had completely altered the head's appearance, Iceberg instantly recognized its identity...

Celestial Dragon—Saint Serentinia!

Although more than ten days have passed since that major event, Iceberg will never forget that scene.

At this moment, the Straw Hat crew's identities are self-evident.

Iceberg slowly released the document from the mask, lifting it to cover his crimson face, revealing a pair of dark and mysterious eyes.

At the same time, the crimson figure behind the mask suddenly grinned.

He said that the corpses of Celestial Dragons would always have some use.

It was worth it for them to dig it out of the ruins.

……

……

Snapped!

As the ornate doors were pushed open by a pair of large, hairy hands, a puzzled Franky walked into the Iceberg's office.

The wary Franky curiously looked around the office, and only entered after confirming that no one was inside.

"What's going on, Iceberg?"

Why did you suddenly call me over?

"You've come, Franky!?"

In the dimly lit room, a pale yellow light shone on the face of the iceberg.

Iceberg, who was checking the blueprints, looked up but did not explain immediately. Instead, he pushed the blueprints in his hand forward.

"Come and see this ship..."

"Is there a way to expand it into a large ship without damaging its original basic structure!?"

"Huh? Such a small thing!?"

Frankie frowned.

Knowing that Iceberg would never come to him for such a trivial matter, he pulled over a chair, sat down, and began to look at the blueprints.

But the moment he started, his eyes trembled.

"This...this is..."

Franky slammed the blueprints onto the table with a bang, looking at Iceberg with a surprised expression:

"Iceberg, are you serious!?"

As the preserver of the ancient weapon [Pluto]'s design blueprints, he could tell at a glance that the iceberg's blueprint, which was not even a third complete, was full of designs similar to Pluto's.

Even though they didn't know ancient writing and couldn't understand the contents of Hades' blueprints, as skilled shipwrights, they still learned a lot from them.

The power system currently used in Franky's body is based on the design blueprints of Hades.

Iceberg, who also preserved Hades' design blueprints and whose shipbuilding skills were even superior to Franky's, naturally also mastered a lot of technology from Hades.

"Let's first examine the feasibility of this design..."

Iceberg did not answer immediately, but instead pointed more carefully at the key parts of the drawing.

Under the watchful eye of the iceberg, Franky didn't ask any more questions and calmed down to slowly look at the blueprints.

The more he looked, the deeper his doubts became.

Because no matter how you look at it, the prototype of the ship in the drawings is nothing more than an ordinary light sailboat.

Even with his world-class shipbuilding skills, he could tell at a glance that the ship's design was definitely the work of a novice.

You can see the designer's seriousness towards this ship, but that's about it.

The entire ship is full of immaturity and imperfections.

But despite Bing Shan's serious expression, he still diligently began to study it.

Half an hour later, Franky slammed the blueprints onto the table again, stroking his chin and saying:

"The requirement is not to damage the ship's main structure?"

"Although it's a bit strange, if we put some effort into the materials, it wouldn't be too difficult to transform it into a large warship."

"Even if we add some designs from...that place, it won't cause much trouble."

"So, icebergs..."

Franky's eyes focused, fixed intently on the iceberg. "Now can you tell me why you called me here?"

"Frankie."

Under his junior brother's gaze, Iceberg suddenly asked:

"Have you ever thought about avenging your teacher?!"

Franky: !!

The steel-like five fingers suddenly embedded themselves into the solid wood tabletop, representing the owner's unusually tense and angry state of mind.

Franky raised his head, his expression deep and serious, and said:

"certainly!!!"

Upon hearing this answer, the iceberg spoke again:

"Then, Franky, what if I told you there's a chance to avenge our teacher?"

"But the price is putting yourself in danger and doing things with unknown risks. Would you consider it?"

"Stop keeping me in suspense!" Franky slammed his fist on the table, his eyes gleaming as he stared at the iceberg. "Just tell me what it is!"

Avenging his teacher was something he dreamed of doing!

However, their enemy was simply too powerful.

So powerful that, with the passage of time, Franky could only bury this thought deep within his heart.

Seeing his junior brother in such a distraught state, Iceberg immediately dialed a Den Den Mushi.

The next moment, before the Den Den Mushi could be answered, a dark and mysterious spatial wormhole suddenly appeared in the office.

Three figures emerged from the spatial wormhole.

It was none other than Red, the vice-captain in charge of all diplomatic affairs for the Straw Hat crew; Luffy, the captain who seemed to have been sidelined; and...

Nico Robin is one of the few in the world who can understand the blueprints for Hades!

"Icebergs, they are..."

Upon seeing this, Franky's eyes were once again filled with confusion.

Before Iceberg could even speak, Luffy burst into laughter:

"You're the amazing shipwright Franky that Crimson was talking about, right!?"

"It really is a body made of steel, wow, gay~!"

"This is so much fun!!!"

"Franky, will you be our partner?!"

More direct and straightforward than anyone else, Luffy didn't waste any words and directly extended an invitation to Franky.

"Partner?" Franky blinked in surprise.

Iceberg immediately explained to him:

"Let me introduce them. They are the Straw Hat Pirates who have just arrived in Water Seven."

"Perhaps you should know something about their reputation."

"After all, he's a great pirate who got a bounty of nearly 200 million Berries as soon as he entered the Grand Line."

"And the ship that needs to be modified on that blueprint is their current vessel."

Wait a minute~

Just then, Crimson suddenly reached out and interrupted the iceberg:

"Just to correct you, the Going Merry isn't a vehicle!"

"She's a member of our pirate crew, an important ally!"

"As for the rest, let me speak."

Red seized the opportunity to speak. Knowing Franky's personality very well, he once again took out the Celestial Dragon's head and threw it directly in front of Franky.

"Just as Mayor Iceberg said, we are a group of pirates, but we are not ordinary pirates."

"This...this is...!?"

As the saying goes, "One trick is all you need to succeed in the world."

The scene of Ace publicly executing Celestial Dragons around the world only lasted for a short ten minutes.

But every single frame of it has already been deeply etched into the minds of people around the world.

So upon seeing the Celestial Dragon's head, Franky instantly displayed an expression similar to the one he had shown earlier that morning.

Crimson stepped forward and said with a light laugh:

"As you can see..."

"We share the same enemy! And the enemy of my enemy is my friend!"

"Frankie, you possess world-class shipbuilding talent and ability, yet instead of making a name for yourself on the high seas, you're stuck in Water Seven as a gangster boss..."

Is this really the result you wanted!?

Crimson stepped forward, her words filled with power and seduction.

He met Franky's gaze with a confident smile.

"Frankie, we are looking for a skilled shipwright who can help the Going Merry evolve!"
