The Merry continued to sail off after the battle with Aokiji, and well Natsu was a little bit more than pissed off.
Natsu: I can't believe that freaking guy!!
(Y/N): Look Natsu, I'm just as mad at him as you would be. Talking smack about Robin, I mean t-
All of a sudden, you guys hear what sounds like a train!
Erza: Was that a train noise just now?
Irene: Why would a train b-
Soon enough a train zips by.
Luffy: WOAH!! COOL!! IS THAT THE TRAIN?!
Happy: It could be a Sea Train.
Hisui: How could they make it run on the water? That's incredible!!
Levy: This world is just full of surprises.
Soon enough, a building was spotted.
Lily: Look, I think we could get some answers there.
At the station ...
???: So, what did you think of that youngsters? HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Kokoro (A Water 7 Train Conductor! Voiced by Juli Erickson!)
Alongside this alcohol loving conductor was her granddaughter!
Chimney (Kokoro's Granddaughter! Voiced by Lara Woodhull!) Gonbe (Chimney's Pet Rabbit, though she thinks he's a cat!)
Natsu: How did that happen? A train moving on the water?
Kokoro: Ha, that's a big thing. You see, where I come from, lots of shipwrights exist.
Gray: So that means-
Chimney: Yeah, Granny and I come from Water 7, lots of Shipwrights are there!
Erza: Now that you mention it, the Merry needs some repairs.
You guys turn to Usopp.
Usopp: OH BITE ME!!!
Kokoro: Well then, if you're heading over then, you might need to talk to Iceburg. Here take this.
She hands over a paper.
Luffy: Thanks, Granny!!
Lucy: Luffy, be nice!!
Kokoro: Eh, it's fine. Call me Granny Kokoro!
(Y/N): Thanks Granny Kokoro!
And so ...
Water 7
Lisanna: Woah! This city is massive!
Hisui: Even Crocus doesn't compare to this!!
Irene: Looks like we've found our destination. So what now Captain?
Luffy: Hey, Nami?
Nami: Well, I say we turn this gold we got back in Skypiea into money.
Lucy: Sounds good!
Natsu: Then let's go! Also, Usopp-
Usopp: OH NOW WHAT?!
Natsu: I think you should see what professionals can do.
Usopp: BITE ME!!!!
(Y/N): Zoro, Erza, why don't you two watch over the ship?
Zoro: Fine by me. It's time for my nap anyway.
Zoro lies by the corner and falls asleep.
Erza: Alright, it still baffles me on how powerful Zoro is despite his lack of-
Mirajane: A lack of a brain?
Erza: Exactly.
Gajeel: Well, look at Salamander, he doesn't have one.
Natsu: I DO TOO!! Luffy's the one who has no brain!
Gray: That I can agree with.
Luffy: HEY! DON'T INSULT YOUR CAPTAIN!!! Only Nami gets to do that.
Nami: UH ........ I don't know if that's a compliment.
And so ...
One group, consisting of Levy, Gajeel, Lily, Carla, Sherria, Wendy, Chopper, and Robin were walking through the city, and Gajeel smells trouble.
Gajeel: Something's wrong.
Lily: What is it?
Gajeel: I don't know, but it's close.
Levy: Where?
Robin: Well, I don't know wh-
A shadow walks by Robin, and she swears she heard, "CP9."
And then ...
Wendy: What?
Sherria: What is it, Wendy?
Wendy: Robin's gone.
Chopper: HUH?! I can't smell her either.
Gajeel: I have a bad feeling about this.
With your group...
You guys made your way to the bank, and-
You guys are walking out with suitcases filled with 300,000,000 Berries!
(Y/N): HELL YES!!! We can get the repairs with this!
Lucy: Nami, you were amazing in there!
Nami: Well, I handled situations like this before I joined the crew in the first place.
Natsu: Man, you could rival Levy and Robin, and they're the smartest we have!
(Y/N): So then, we need to find that Iceburg guy. But where is he?
Luffy: I know, we'll just ask around!
And so ...
You guys come near a gate, and Luffy tries to cross but-
???: Hang on a second. You got some gumption just waltzing in. Let's have a talk okay?
Kaku (Water 7 Shipwright! Voiced by Alex Organ!)
Natsu: Why does he-
Luffy: Nice change of clothes Usoppp.
Usopp: YOU IDIOT, I'M OVER HERE!!
Usopp slams Luffy on the head.
Happy: Hey, he does have a long nose too!
Natsu: Maybe they're related?
Usopp: We're not alright?
Lucy: Hey, Mr. do you know where we can find Iceburg?
Kaku: You're looking for Iceburg?
(Y/N): Yeah, Granny Kokoro told us to find you, and give you this paper.
You hand it over to him.
Kaku: Oh I see. This is pretty interesting.
Natsu: Hey, how old are you?
Kaku: 23, why?
(Y/N): Well, you're older than all of us, and you talk like a 50-year-old man.
Kaku: HAHAHAHA! I get that.
Nami: So, who is Iceburg?
???: Well, that would be me.
Iceburg (The Mayor of Water 7! President of the Galley-La Company! Voiced by Phillip Weber!)
Luffy: Hey, nice to meet you Ice Pops!
Kaku: Sir, they're asking for repairs on their ship.
Iceburg: Well, go ahead Kaku, we can't keep them waiting.
Kaku: You got it!
Kaku runs for the edge and he jumps landing on buildings.
Natsu: WOAH!!
Luffy: AWESOME!!!
Iceburg: Kaku is a bit of a showoff. Oh, where are my manners? I'm Iceburg, the Mayor of Water 7. Now then, why don't I give you a tour of what our shipwrights can do. Kalifa, cancel my meetings.
???: Of course Mayor.
Kalifa (Iceburg's Secretary! Voiced by Shelley- Calene Beck!)
Nami: Wow! Uh .....
Lucy: She's pretty hot.
The two girls are blushing at Kalifa.
Kalifa: If you would mind, that blushing is sexual harassment.
Lucy and Nami: WHAT?! HOW?!
Happy: Those hormones are building up again right?
Nami and Lucy: HAPPY SHUT IT!
Happy: (scared) SORRY!!
At the Galley-La Docks ...
Usopp: Oh, you guys! I should probably head off right now, I'll take the suitcases and pay for it up front!
Luffy: Okay! See you then!
Usopp takes off, as you guys are left with the tour from Iceburg.
???: COO COO! Hey Iceburg, I found Paulie up to his stuff again!
???2: OW! LET ME GO LUCCI!!!
Rob Lucci (Shipwright of Water 7! His pigeon Hattori, does the talking! Hattori is voiced by Jason Leibrecht! Lucci has no voice actor!)
Paulie (Shipwright of Water 7! He has a gambling addiction! Voiced by David Wald!)
Iceburg: Ah, Lucci, Paulie. There you both are.
(Y/N): Hi, so, what's wi-
Luffy: WHY IS THE PIGEON TALKING?!
Lucy: That's what you're focused on?
Happy: HOW CAN THE PIGEON TALK?!
Nami: MORONS!! STOP IT W-
Hattori: Hey Lady, you know I can hear that right?
Nami: Woah!!
Kalifa: That's Rob Lucci, his pigeon does the talking for him.
Hattori: Name's Hattori. COO COO!!
Paulie: And I'm Paul- WHAT THE HELL?! YOU GIRLS!! YOU'RE BOTH SHOWING WAY TOO MUCH LEGS!!!! COVER UP!!
Lucy: Uh ....
Nami: Wow, someone's shy.
Paulie: I'M N-
Kalifa whacks him on the head.
Kalifa: Paulie, that's sexual harassment.
Back at the Merry ...
Kaku: I'm sorry.
Erza: Wait ... you mean-
Zoro: This has to be a joke!
Kaku: There's nothing we can do. The Merry can't be fixed. I've been a shipwright for as long as I can remember, and nothing can be done about this. I'm sorry.
Erza and Zoro were speechless, the Merry was going to be gone. But what c-
All of a sudden, Erza sensed something.
Erza: Was that Usopp? Did he- ZORO COME ON!!
Zoro was grabbed by Erza and she ran off to find Usopp.
Kaku: Hmph, it must be hard for the others to know this.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Erza: Usopp has been gravely injured, and Sherria is tending to him as we speak. According to the Water 7 shipwrights, they saw the Franky Family, a gang of bounty hunters attack him and steal our money. After we get payback we break the news to him. However, he snaps at Luffy and says he won't give up on the Merry, and is even more enraged after seeing that no one else takes his side. He quits and challenges Luffy to a battle to see who will keep the Merry. On the other hand, Gray, Sanji, Chopper, Wendy, Sherria, and Carla go to search for Robin the next day, when they find her, she says that this is the last we'll see her. But what does she mean? Things are getting hard for us, I'm struggling to hold my tears.
Luffy: Next Time: A Straw Hat No More!/Usopp Leaves the Crew! I'M GOING TO BE KING OF THE PIRATES!!!
