Al answered without hesitation: "I think you may have misunderstood. This lady's name is Huiyuan. She is a member of the crew I invited from Whiskey Peak in the Grand Line."

Faced with Al's firm denial, Lucci seemed helpless: "Then please don't interfere with our official duties, Mr. Al, so as to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to Miss Huiyuan beside you."

After saying that, Lucci planned to take Franky away first, and then his superiors would try to take Robin away from El.

At this time, the battle on the field is also coming to an end. With Kaku and Jabra, whose physical skills are second only to Lucci in CP9, Luffy and Franky are obviously no match for them.

Gabura knocked Franky to the ground with an iron punch, and Kaku then used a storm kick to force Luffy back.

The two of them immediately performed the Moon Step, their figures drew an arc in the air, and they quickly left Carrera Company and disappeared into the sky.

Seeing Kaku and Gabra succeed, Lucci kept watching El with caution.

Seeing that Al did not try to stop them, Lucci immediately called on other CP9 members to quickly evacuate this dangerous area.

Watching Franky being taken away, Luffy angrily asked El: "Why didn't you stop them?"

Aspagu also took a few steps closer, hoping to ask El for help to rescue Franky.

El spread his hands and explained, "Luffy, this is not my fault. If I had taken action, Lucci would have attacked Robin right now. As the captain, I must prioritize protecting my crew from danger."

Then, Al turned to face Aspagu, and said comfortingly: "Mr. Aspagu, don't worry. This is actually a good opportunity to let Franky go out to sea. I promise you that Franky will be fine."

After calming down Aspago, Al turned to Luffy and said, "Luffy, since you want to invite Franky to join your pirate group, isn't it the best opportunity to rescue him from the World Government yourself?"

After hearing this, Luffy touched the back of his head and said thoughtfully: "Well, what you said seems to make sense. I was rejected when I invited him just now, but if I save him, maybe he will agree to me."

"Go ahead, take Zoro and the others with you. I'll send you to the place where they captured Franky. However, because of my identity, I may not be able to attack them openly."

When Luffy heard this, he jumped up excitedly and quickly called Chopper to go find the other three members together.

"Can he really save Franky?" Aspago asked worriedly. He had just witnessed Luffy being at a disadvantage under CP9's attack.

Al turned around and explained: "They are the most promising pirates I have ever seen. Don't worry, I will protect Franky secretly."

Aspagu pleaded earnestly: "Al, please save Franky's life. He is my only relative."

"Don't worry, Mr. Aspagu, Luffy and I are still waiting for the ship you built."

"Don't worry, I will do my best to build that ship for you. Please help me ask Granny Kokoro to come over. The Yaqua Lagna tsunami will hit the Seven Waters tonight, and they will definitely set off for Judicial Island in advance. There is only one sea train on that route, and you can't catch up to Judicial Island by boat through the tsunami."

After hearing Aspagu's words, Ai immediately understood the meaning.

This is to start the first generation of runaway sea train whose speed cannot be controlled.

He asked Robin to tell other companions to wait for his return, and then he quickly returned to the cemetery and found Grandma Kokoro who was preparing to go home.

After Al explained the situation in detail, Granny Kokoro took him to the warehouse where the runaway sea train was stored.

At this time, Aspagu was busy adding water and coal to the train and preparing all necessary supplies.

Afterwards, all members of the Straw Hat Pirates arrived here, led by Chief Foreman Barry.

Just as Aspagu started the vehicle, the Franky family also arrived at the warehouse.

"Captain El, Captain Luffy, please take us with you! We also want to save Brother Franky, but we can't cross the Aqua Ragna tsunami." The Franky family pleaded.

Al nodded and said, "As long as you are not afraid of the World Government, then come up."

As the train's engine roared, the carriage began to vibrate and slowly moved towards the sea.

Chapter 40: The Trouble on Judicial Island (Please recommend and collect)

Shortly after the train rushed out of the sea, the Franky family followed closely behind riding two huge Blue Kings.

They used sturdy chains to connect King Blue to the train, ensuring that they would not lose contact even in severe storms.

As the train continued to accelerate, Al talked to the Straw Hat Pirates about some practical techniques of the Marine Six Styles in the car.

Luffy and the others witnessed the power of these moves last night, and with El's detailed explanation, they gradually began to understand the secrets behind them.

The speed of the Runaway Sea Train was getting faster and faster, but due to the impact of the Yaqua Lagna tsunami, the waves were gradually becoming more turbulent.

The train swayed forward in the huge waves, as if it would be swallowed up at any time.

The Franky family could not withstand the attack of the wind and waves, and they all hid inside the train to seek shelter.

After everyone gathered, Al spread out the map and began to assign tasks in detail: "Everyone in the Franky family, you are responsible for dealing with ordinary navy soldiers and clearing the way for the Straw Hat Pirates, while the Straw Hat Pirates will go straight to Huanglong and go to the Judicial Tower to rescue Franky!"

After confirming everything, Al left the map and asked everyone to study the route and plan carefully in the carriage.

He himself went to the roof of the train to help it clear a path through the huge waves.

This time when he went to the Judicial Island, Al set his eyes on the elephant sword in Spandam's hand, the only sword in One Piece that was ingested by a devil fruit.

As the train got farther and farther away from the Seven Water City, the wind and waves gradually returned to normal, and the train ran more smoothly.

El returned to the carriage again and fixed his eyes on Usopp: "There are two giants on the island. They are subordinates of the two giants in the small garden. They were deceived by the World Government. You can convince them to help attack the Judicial Island together."

Usopp's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really? That's great. With the help of the giant, our chances of winning are much higher."

Then, Al turned to Luffy and said, "Luffy, when we get to Judicial Island, I will first take Granny Kokoro to sneak into the vicinity of the Judicial Tower to ensure Franky's safety. The rest is up to you."

Luffy nodded vigorously and responded confidently: "Don't worry, I'm ready."

Not long after, Granny Kokoro informed everyone through the window of the cab that they were about to arrive at Judicial Island.

Al acted quickly and kicked down the fence of Judicial Island before the runaway train arrived, creating a temporary ramp for the train.

As the fence was kicked down, the Runaway Train used the slope to fly to the Judicial Island with King Blue.

Taking advantage of the moment when the train was flying in the air, El and Granny Kokoro used the Moon Step to jump out of the cab, quickly circled along the edge of the fence, and headed straight for the Tower of Justice.

El and Granny Kokoro settled at the highest point of the Justice Tower, overlooking the chaos that was gradually spreading below.

The navy showed panic at the sudden impact, which had never happened since the establishment of Judicial Island.

Al calmly came to the restaurant in the tower, took out a few bottles of fine wine from the collection, and drank with Grandma Kokoro.

According to El's observation Haki, Franky had just arrived and was being interrogated by Spandam and his CP9 members.

Granny Kokoro said as she drank: "It turns out that life as a pirate is so interesting. No wonder Tom was so proud to have built that ship for the Pirate King Roger before he left."

Ai'er said to the mermaid in front of him with emotion: "Actually, it's not like that. The human world is still very chaotic. The pirates' robbery and burning and killing have caused great harm to ordinary people. However, the World Government is not much stronger, because the number of ordinary people who died because of them is not much less than that of the pirates."

"Then does justice still exist in this world?" asked Grandma Kokoro.

"Maybe." Al drank silently, and several figures flashed through his mind: the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Ryu, the future admiral Fujitora, and Lieutenant General T. Penn.

Seeing Al lost in thought, Granny Kokoro didn't disturb him and just drank her wine.

The Straw Hat Pirates advanced very quickly. With the help of the giants, they passed several checkpoints in succession and successfully arrived in front of the Justice Tower.

At this time, Spandam saw this and left CP9 members to resist the Straw Hat Pirates.

He used the elephant sword Fankfried to roll up the unconscious Franky and walked towards the Gate of Justice, intending to throw Franky into the Impel Undersea Prison.

On the way, Franky woke up. Seeing that there were no CP9 agents around, he and Spandam had a big argument about what happened that year.

During the argument, Spandam answered the Den Den Mushi call, but accidentally pressed the Golden Den Den Mushi, directly activating the Demon Killing Order.

After receiving the Demon Slaying Order, the Silver Den Den Mushi at the Navy Headquarters immediately summoned a vice admiral to lead the warship to the Judicial Island to prepare for a devastating attack.

When Spandam realized his mistake, he began to blame Franky, but his voice was heard throughout the island through the Den Den Mushi that was still connected.

After learning the news that Spandam had launched the Demon Killing Order on Judicial Island, the navy on the island began to flee in panic, and the entire island fell into chaos.

Franky also used his wind to blast open the Tower of Justice and escape.

Seeing Franky successfully escape and come to the Straw Hat Pirates, Al went to the tower and took the Elephant Sword Fankfried from the unconscious Spandam, and then took Granny Kokoro to find Franky's family, preparing to use their King Blue to escape from Judicial Island.

As the battle became more intense, except for Luffy, the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates finally defeated their opponents one by one.

However, this victory was achieved at a heavy price. Almost everyone was covered in scars after fighting a life-and-death battle with each other.

El shuttled back and forth on the battlefield, carrying the exhausted Straw Hat Pirates and the wounded Franky to King Blue.

He used a Storm Kick to cut off the fence at the edge of the island, opening up a way for them to escape and allowing them to escape from Judicial Island first.

"You should go back to Water Seven first. There are too many people here now. If you are discovered by the navy, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave. I will wait for Luffy here, and after he decides the winner, I will take him away."

Hearing that El decided to stay alone, the Cube sisters of the Franky family silently handed him the Eternal Pointer pointing to the Seven Water City to ensure that he would not get lost in the vast ocean.

Afterwards, King Blue drove this group of tired people towards the Seven Water City, gradually moving away from the smoke-filled Judicial Island.

The battle lasted for a long time. Even though Luffy used Gear 2 to speed up blood circulation and Gear 3 to blow air into his body to make it bigger, he still failed to completely defeat Lucci.

Before this, the reason why Nami was able to gain the upper hand over Lucci was simply because Lucci had not yet mastered Haki at that time.

When the time limit of Gear Third expired, Luffy's body quickly shrank and returned to a child-like size, forcing him to run around and find a hiding place to avoid Lucci's pursuit.

Chapter 41: Judicial Island Demon Killing Order (Please recommend and collect)

At the same time, a fleet of ten elite naval ships led by five vice admirals sailed from the naval headquarters and finally arrived at the waters of Judicial Island.

They followed the iron-blooded order of the Demon Killing Order and pointed their guns at the fence barrier outside the Judicial Island without hesitation.

Following the commander's order, artillery fire roared like thunder, and countless shells cut through the sky, pouring down like a meteor shower.

It smashed into the fortifications of the Judicial Island, stirring up dust and debris all over the sky, and the entire island seemed to be crumbling in the sea of fire.

At this tense moment, Lucci has already grabbed Luffy, who has turned back into a child, and pressed him against the wall, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

At this critical moment, the hidden power in Luffy's body awakened again, and he released the domineering aura.

Under the shock of this invisible domineering aura, Lucci felt his legs and feet suddenly become weak. Just when he was wondering whether it was due to the long and fierce battle, Luffy restored his original form and the battle began again.

Under the backdrop of the constant bombardment of the naval fleet, Luffy and Lucci engaged in a life-and-death battle on the top of the Justice Tower.

However, in the end, Lucci was slightly inferior. Under Luffy's tenacious will and supreme perseverance that almost locked his blood, Lucci was finally unable to withstand Luffy's rubber Jet machine gun and was defeated.

Looking at the two people lying on the ground, Al finally showed up, took out a stack of Berry from his pocket and put it on Lucci, then picked up Luffy who was covered in scars.

They transformed into human-beast forms, with flame clouds surrounding their bodies to conceal their figures. Then, they used the Moon Step to walk in the air and left in the opposite direction of the naval fleet.

After making sure that he would not be discovered by the navy, El turned around and transformed into a blue dragon, soaring towards the Seven Water City in the sky.

This scene was only seen by the young general Kuzan, who was riding a bicycle leisurely on the sea at the other end of the distant ocean.

"It seems that the outcome of this battle is not so glorious for the Navy."

Kuzan whispered to himself, then continued riding his bicycle along the sea towards the Navy Headquarters.

When El brought Luffy back to Water Seven, this city, which had been prosperous not long ago, had now been ravaged by the tsunami and was completely unrecognizable and devastated.

In the ruins, Aspagu was busy directing the boatmen and working hard to carry out reconstruction work.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the two giants who escaped from Judicial Island with Usopp, their tremendous power became an indispensable part of the post-disaster cleanup work.

They easily removed the mountains of rubble, and Robin used her unique abilities to sort the building materials for reuse, allowing the reconstruction work to proceed in an orderly manner.

After Al handed Luffy to Chopper, he turned around and returned to his crew.

"Captain, you're finally back!"

Seeing that there were no signs of injury on Al's body, everyone finally put aside their worries and breathed a sigh of relief.

Al reached out and untied the elephant sword Fankfried from his waist and handed it to Tashigi. "I brought this specially for you. Although it is not among the famous swords you are looking for, it is the only knife in the world that has swallowed a devil fruit."

"Can a knife also eat devil fruits?" Everyone's surprised eyes were focused on the strange weapon that Tashigi took from her hand.

Tashigi stroked the newly acquired sword, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "It is said that scientists from the World Government have developed a technology that can give weapons the power of devil fruits. I never thought that I would be so lucky to get such a weapon. Thank you, Captain El."

El smiled and responded: "This is the promise I made when I invited you to join us, and I will naturally fulfill it. In fact, you have seen such weapons before, but you may not have noticed it at the time. Remember the Spider Cafe in Alabasta? Mr. 4's dachshund was a gun that swallowed the Dog-Dog Fruit."

Weiwei said in surprise: "I have been undercover in Baroque Studio for so long, and I always thought it was a dachshund that ate a gun fruit!"

Just when everyone wanted to see what was special about this sword, Al explained in detail the special functions of this elephant sword to Tashigi.

"In addition to maintaining its original sword form, this sword can also transform its blade into the front half of an elephant, which can be used to attack enemies from a distance. In addition, it can also completely transform into an elephant, but since its essence is still a sword, its weight will not change."

At the urging of the girls, Tashigi demonstrated the various forms of the elephant sword.

Two days after returning to Water Seven, Aspago and Franky had begun to concentrate on building the new ship that Luffy and El needed.

During these two days, Al was busy accompanying the crew on shopping trips, purchasing items needed for the new ship.

When they returned to the hotel at noon, they received a message from the Carrera boatman.

The legendary hero of the navy: Vice Admiral Garp, led a fleet to the Seven Water City.

"Let's go and visit this naval hero together," Al suggested.

He asked everyone to deliver the purchased items back to the hotel, and then went to Carrera Company together.
