The Straw Hat crew went back inside the Galley Law building to pack their belongings. (Y/N) grabbed her bag as Zoro spoke up. "Alright. Just to make sure, we're all on the same page about Usopp."
"What about him?" (Y/N) questioned the swordsman. Zoro quickly explained to her about what the crew discussed last night while she was at Scrap Island. (Y/N) nodded to the swordsman. "Alright. I'm okay with that."
Luffy finally pulled in his giant backpack, agreeing with (Y/N). "This is about doing what's right." Zoro said back to his captain.
"I know." Luffy turned to the rest of his crew. "Lets move. You've been depressed for long enough."
"SHUT UP!" Sanji angrily yelled at the straw hat, holding up his wanted poster. "Why is mine the only one with a drawing?!"
"Who cares about the picture, you got a bounty!" Luffy smiled back at the angry cook.
"Who is this, huh?! Cause it's not me!!"
"I thought it was a photo until you said something." Zoro calmly said making Sanji run up to him, ugly crying and screaming. "Who has a handsome face again?"
(Y/N) couldn't help but giggle as she picked up Sanji's wanted poster. "Oh it's not so bad... PHEWW WHO IS THIS?!" The woman bursted out laughing at the horrible drawing making Sanji cry even harder.
Nami held up her poster in distort. "Ugh that guy lied to me. He said he was a reporter to the local paper. Having a bounty kinda stinks. But on the upside, the picture turned out pretty cute."
Chopper ran up to Luffy and (Y/N) screaming. "I fought like a true man back there! I'm a pirate just like all the rest of you!! And what do they mean 'pet'?! I'm a doctor damn it!!"
"Well. Try harder then." Luffy smiled down at the reindeer.
(Y/N) squatted down to Chopper's height. "Awe, but Chopper, look how cute you look here."
"Don't be mean just because you have a big bounty, (Y/N)!!" Chopper yelled back at her. The woman tilted her head slightly, giggling at the reindeer.
"Hurry up Straw Hat!! What are you doing in there?!" Kiwi called out making the crew come back outside. "Don't you want to see your ship? Can't keep our Big Bro waiting."
"I know, I know." Luffy waved off the sister before looking back at his crew. "Well. I hope we're not forgetting anything. Once we get Franky and our new ship, we're out of here."
(Y/N) gave Kokoro, Chimney and Gonbe each a big hug. "I'm going to miss you guys."
Kokoro laughed, wiping away the tears forming in her eyes. "Good luck out there, (Y/N). We'll be here when you get back. Take care of Franky for me, would you?"
"Of course, Kokoro." (Y/N) hugged her friend again, softly crying on her shoulder.
Kokoro patted her back before she let go of the hug. "If Tom was here today, I know he would have been so proud of you."
"Hey, come on (Y/N)!! Let's go!" Luffy yelled back to his crew mate, but got hit of the back of the head by Nami. "Can't you see they're having a moment?!"
(Y/N) laughed at her crew, wiping her tears away. "Til next time, Kokoro." The woman waved off her friends before jogging to catch up with her crew.
"I bet leaving this place behind a second time is pretty rough, (Y/N)." Nami looked over at her friend with sympathy in her eyes.
"Yeah. I guess you could say that." (Y/N) looked back at her with a bright smile. "But I'm happy to know Water 7 is back in good hands." The crew laughed together as they walked to Scrap Yard Island.
Eventually the Straw Hats made it to the island, the crew looked up in awe at the giant tarp covering their new ship. "Ooo I see something big!" Luffy smiled at the covered ship. "Hey Franky!! We're ready for our ship now!"
The group ran up to Iceburg. "Oh hey Ice Pops, what's up?" Luffy smiled at the man.
"Good to see you." Iceburg smiled at (Y/N) when she run up along side Nami. Luffy questioned the man where the cyborg was. "Unfortunately, Franky can't be here at the moment. But the ship is indeed complete. Shall we take a look?"
"Uh huh!" Luffy answer for the smiling crew behind him.
"I think you're going to be impressed. I was floored simply looking at the blueprints. This ship can sail any sea. It may take you to the end of the Grand Line after all!" Iceburg's words made excitement run across the whole crew. "There's a message that Franky asked me to pass on to you Straw Hat. He said that if you're going to be a King of Pirates..." Iceburg tore off the giant tarp with one large pull.
"Then your ship should be the KING OF BEASTS!"
(Y/N)'s jaw dropped from the beautiful ship before her. "Words can't describe it..." The rest of her crew complimented the absolutely stunning ship in awe.
Luffy was already talking about taking it into battle while Chopper questioned if it was really free of charge. "It's gotta be twice as big as Merry!" (Y/N) agreed with Zoro's words.
"Show me the kitchen, I want to see!!" Sanji said in excitement.
"I love the figure head." Robin pointed out the front of the ship. "What kind of flower is supposed to be?"
"Well. I think he intended it to be a lion." Iceburg said with false confidence making (Y/N) giggle.
"It looks like a giant sun." The (h/c) haired woman tilted her head, inspecting the figure head.
(Y/N) smiled up at her crew mates that boarded their new ship. "It's really beautiful, ice for brains."
Iceburg turned to the (h/c) haired woman with slight cringe on his face. "Will you ever stop calling me that?"
"Never." (Y/N) smirked back at the man.
"Well. Are you going to join the other Straw Hats?" (Y/N) could tell Iceburg was excited to see her board the ship he help create.
"Patience, Iceburg." (Y/N) smiled up at the ship. "I'll board when my whole crew gets here."
"So you really believe he's going to sail with you?" Iceburg asked, looking up at the ship.
"Without a doubt in my mind... Franky will be the shipwright of the Straw Hat Pirates." (Y/N)'s smile never left her face.
Luffy hung over the ship's railing, looking down at Iceburg and (Y/N). "Hey Ice Pops. This is cool and all, but where did Franky go? We gotta thank him for this."
"I'm sorry, but it would appear that he doesn't want to see you." (Y/N) whipped her head over towards Iceburg, wearing a puzzled look on her face. "Straw Hat. You were going to invite Franky to be your shipwright, weren't you?"
"Yep! Wouldn't have it any other way. Besides, this is his ship. He has to come." Luffy smiled back at the man.
"Then that might be your problem." Worry washed over (Y/N)'s face. 'Please don't tell me...'
"You mean he doesn't want to join?" Luffy asked the question on (Y/N)'s mind.
"Just the opposite. Rather if you invited him, he won't be able to refuse. That's why he's hiding right now." (Y/N) looked even more confused as Iceburg continued. "Well. What I'm saying... is that he wants to join you in his heart. Of course you can probably see that for yourself. Looking at all the love and care he put into building this ship. And he's quite fond of your crew, so please don't blame yourself for this. But he believes it's his duty to stay on this island. His bond has become the chain that binds him."
"Yeah?"
"Yes. Though if you ask me, I think he's being needlessly stubborn over nothing. Still that's how he feels. So trying to reason with him will be a waste of time. If you really want him to go with you, then your only choice is to use force!! Since he's not willing to break that chain, you'll have to do it for him!" Iceburg shouted up at the Straw Hat captain.
"Use force?!" Luffy looked back at the ship's figure head. "And after he was so nice to us. Well I guess I can give it a shot."
(Y/N) put her bag down and cracked her knuckles. "So capt." (Y/N) smirked up at Luffy. "Should we go catch ourselves a shipwright?"
Luffy smiled brightly down at his crew mate. "Let's go guys!"
The (Y/N) took off running back into Water 7. The (h/c) haired woman leaped on the buildings as her captain followed right behind her. The two saw the Franky Family running from something. (Y/N) was about to question them, but the citizens answered her with their screams about Franky running around half naked.
"Do you think they stole them?!" (Y/N) shouted back to her captain.
Luffy laughed before he answered. "I bet they did!! Hey, let me run ahead! I got an idea!"
(Y/N) halted in her tracks. "Go get 'em, Captain."
The woman watched as Luffy ran across a few building before stopping. 'He must have spotted him.' Luffy caught the briefs and started running back towards (Y/N).
Once the two got close enough, (Y/N) was able to hear their conversation. "Now give me back my briefs!" Franky sassed up at Luffy before holding up his arm. "Or I'll blow you to smithereens!!" Franky sent a cannon ball towards Luffy making the Straw Hat fly in the air.
"(Y/N)!!" Luffy threw the briefs towards her direction. (Y/N) smirked as she quickly pulling out her right sickle, turning the blade into a long vine that wrapped around the briefs tightly before retract back down.
"(Y/N)?!" Franky blushed from sight of the woman, covering up his front as he ran. "GIVE THEM BACK, KID!" Before Franky realized it, be was throw into a canon by Sanji and Zoro.
"Uhh... weren't we supposed to take the briefs there first?!" (Y/N) questioned was cut short when she heard Luffy yell behind her.
"Gum Gum... ROCKETT!!" The (h/c) haired woman was grabbed before she could even react. (Y/N) gave blood curling scream as she soared through the sky in Luffy's arms.
(Y/N) slowed their fall by using the air around them to push against them. Allowing herself and her captain to gracefully land on their new ship.
"WHAT THE HELL LUFFY?! GIVE ME A WARNING Next... time... AHHH!!" (Y/N)'s face turned steaming hot when she saw all of Franky's 'prized possessions'.
Luffy walked up on the railing, holding up Franky's briefs. "FRANKYYY!! Thanks! The ship is great! Just like you said, it's the best! We'll take good care of it."
"Yeah! I had fun with you guys. Have a safe trip." Franky shouted back to the captain.
"Oh I hate to break it to you, but if you want your undies back then you're gonna have to join our crew!" Luffy grinned down at the cyborg.
The Water 7 citizens angrily shouted at the indecent cyborg to cover up. "Give me back my briefs Straw Hat." Franky glared at the captain.
"Sure. Join my crew." Luffy glared right back at him.
"What are you stupid?! I'm not gonna be a pirate. Ya know, you can keep those briefs brother." Franky ran up and did his famous pose. "Standing before the crashing waves, naked and proud! You wouldn't ask a lion to put on underwear, so why a man!"
(Y/N)'s nose bled from the sight of the half naked cyborg. "Why... why is he like this...?"
"I was a fool! His determination is too great! He's... a true man! A hero!!" Nami quickly smacked Luffy on the back of his head for his misguided admiration.
"He's obviously just a pervert!!" Nami yelled at the boy.
"It might get a little rough, but shall I lend a hand?" Robin asked her crew.
"Huh? Actually. Ice Pops said before if we want Franky to join, we're gonna have to use force to get our way." Luffy told the archeologist while rubbing his head in pain.
"But what were you planing?" Nami spoke up.
(Y/N) was too busy staring at a certain package to acknowledge her crew's conversation. Her (e/c) eyes widened when she saw arms grow out of Frank's thighs. "You're not going to..."
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!" Franky screamed out in absolute pain from his royal jewels being crushed in Robin's hands.
(Y/N) gasped in shock. "There goes his future generations..."
All of Water 7 was shocked by Robin's actions as Franky screamed in pain. Franky fell over, crying on the ground. "Robin!! I still want him to be a man when he joins us. Lay off!!" Luffy yelled at the woman.
"Just looking at him hurts.." Chopper held his hat over his eyes.
"Everyone knows pirates won't give up on treasure once they set their sights on it. And now that we have this one in our palms, so to speak, I won't let go without a fight." Robin smiled as she spoke.
"Come on I already told you... I couldn't leave this island even if I wanted to..." Franky groaned in pain as he spoke. "I appreciate the offer, really. But it just ain't in the cards for me. Sailing in the seas will be great and all, but there's still a lot of stuff I have left to take care of here. That's why I gave the ship to you... I quit being a shipwright a long time ago and I'm not going back. This is the last ship I'm building for the rest of my life. I've only had one goal as a shipwright and now I've fulfilled it. I've made my Ship of Dreams."
"That's a lie, Franky." Iceburg spoke up as he started walking towards the cyborg. "You can say what you like, but I know the truth. This isn't the Ship of Dreams that you talked about before."
Franky stood up to face the man. "Yeah? But my dream is different now."
"Your dream? That's not what this is about at all." Iceburg walked past the cyborg. "You're not on this island because of something you have to accomplish. You're here... because of guilt."
(Y/N)'s eyes widened. "Franky..."
"Ever since that day that Tom was taken away by the government, you've blamed yourself for what happened." (Y/N) cuffed her hand over her mouth, tears began fall from her eyes as Iceburg spoke. "It's obvious. But even before Tom left this island, he'd already forgiven you. He'd shown you a new path. For years, you've taken punks from the inner city's streets under your wings. You've taught them to be dismantlers, you've worked as bounty hunters and you've protected this island from attacking pirates. All of this to atone for your sins. To look after the city that Tom loved, that Tom was forced to leave behind. Although, I don't imagine most people saw it that way."
"No of course not... because that's not that I was doing! Not at all!!" Franky spoke back to Iceburg, screaming in pain right after.
"You've loved ship building and you gave it up. You've suppressed your dream for years and years. Are you going to do that for the rest of your life?" The two stood in silence for a few seconds. "Tom's already forgiven you. I've already forgiven you. Nothing you do will change that. This has gone on long enough. It's time to forgive yourself, Franky."
"COME ON FRANKY!" (Y/N) clutched onto the railing, yelling at him. "DO IT... DO IT WITH GUSTO!!" Tears poured from her eyes as she bawled for her friends.
Franky started bawling, looking up at the sky when something landed roughly in front of him making the cyborg blow backwards. Once the dust cleared, Franky looked down at the object. "A bag?"
"Its luggage for your trip, bro!!" Zambai yelled down at him from the stop of the broken stair case. The rest of the Franky Family pushed through the crowd to say their goodbyes to their Big Bro.
"Now you too?!" Franky questioned his family.
"Big Bro! Forgive us! We didn't want to trick you, really! We're sorry. We'll take any punishment you throw at us. We're not smart like you, but we've thought long and hard about this and even we know that it's the only way!" Zambai yelled back for the family.
"Only way?! You guys are making any sense to me! You think I'm better off without my only pair of briefs, huh?! You think I'm better off with a bunch of pirates?! Well I don't care what you think! This is my life! And I decide what's best for me!" Franky yelled back up to his family. "I'm the boss, damn it. You think I'll be happy living out the life my underlings planned for me? You say you thought long and hard, huh? If you would have thought about this, you wouldn't have done it in the first place!"
"I.. I know we're a pain! But.. is it wrong for us to worry about you even a little?! You turned our lives around! We just want what's best for you!" Zambai struggled not to cry in front of everyone. "We just want our Big Bro to be happy, CAN'T YA SEE?!!"
Franky fell on his back absolutely bawling. "Damn it. You guys!" He grabbed his crotch, acting like he was hurting as he sobbed.
"Hey! Stop, you're going to far! Come on. He's gonna be a womannn." Luffy pleaded with Robin.
"Can't you here him crying?!" Chopper yelled at his archeologist.
"Damn it Robin, stop it! You'll.. pay for this!" Franky joined Luffy's and Chopper's cries.
(Y/N) looked at Robin in shock. "She's not even... doing anything to him."
Robin giggled at her crew. "I only did it one time. He's just being a big baby. How convenient, now he has an excuse to cry all he wants."
(Y/N) looked back at the crying cyborg, wiping her tears away as she smiled. "He's such a dork."
"LUFFY!!" Sanji and Zoro yelled for their captain as they jumped off the broken staircase.
"Hey? What's up?" Luffy yelled back. (Y/N) looked at Sanji and Zoro in concern.
"We've got bad news, Captain!" Sanji yelled out.
"That stupid grandpa of yours came back for us, Luffy! He's got a whole bunch of marines on the other side of the island, getting ready to hunt us down and take us out!!" (Y/N) gasped at Zoro's words.
"Why? I thought he said he was leaving!" Luffy questioned his crew mate's words.
"We don't have time to figure that out, just set sail!!" Sanji looked over at Frank as he ran. "Damn it Franky, put your underwear on already! Geez!"
Luffy threw Franky's briefs at him, the cyborg caught them before looking up at the captain. "Well. Come on. Get on my ship. Captain's orders."
"Heh. Your ship already huh?" Franky put him shades back on his face. "An amateur like you will probably sink her in less than a week. You've got the finest vessel on the sea and no shipwright? That's a real pity. For the ship I mean! What can I say, you don't leave me much choice. I gotta take care of my masterpiece after all, so set sail! I'm joining the crew!"
"YEAH WE GOT US A SHIPWRIGHT!!" Luffy happily shouted.
(Y/N) smiled at Franky when he looked over at her. "Let's go Franky. To the seas of adventures."
