LRAB Chapter 361 By any means necessary
Chapter 361 By any means necessary
"A deck with a lawn and a slide!!" Luffy rolled around on the deck excitedly. He really loved this ship!
"We can plant flowers here." Robin said happily when he noticed several cultivation fields on the upper deck.
"There's also a swing!" Qi looked at the swing under the small tree on the right side of the deck with some surprise. He looked up at the lookout on the main mast and said with some surprise, "Our lookout seems to be pretty good too!"
"That schooner looks very powerful!" Nami did not go aboard to take a look like the other crew members, but stayed below to learn about the structure and operation of the new ship from Aspago.
"That's called a vertical triangular sail! It allows the sloop to sail on the sea as it pleases! But whether it can be used well depends on the navigator's skills." Aspagu said with a smile.
"Yeah! I can't wait to show off my skills!!" Nami shouted excitedly.
"Hey! Uncle As, where is Franky? I still want to thank him!" Luffy lay on the railing and shouted happily to Aspago who was talking to Nami on the ground.
"He doesn't seem to want to see you. You've invited him to be a shipbuilder, right?" Aspagu said with a smile. "He's just afraid that you'll invite him in person again, so he's hiding because he's afraid he won't be able to refuse you."
"He actually wants to go out to sea with you. You can tell from the fact that he handed over the dream ship he worked so hard to build to you!" Aspago said seriously, "Franky likes you from the bottom of his heart, but he regards staying on this island as his responsibility. In my opinion, that's just foolish stubbornness!"
"If you really want to take him away, then you must take him away by force, no matter what means necessary. This is the only way to free him!"
"Any means necessary?" Luffy looked at Aspago in surprise. "Can you really do this?"
“Okay!” Aspagu said with a smile, “You can go to the back street now. His brothers should have already started, using any means necessary!”
"Oh!!" Luffy grinned.
……
back street
"I got the underwear!!"
"Run! Take a shortcut in Blue!!"
"it is good!!"
"Stop right there!" Franky angrily chased his little brother. Those guys actually thought of stealing his underwear, which was his precious underwear!
"Catching up!"
"It's over now!"
Just when Franky's brothers thought they were about to be caught up and their plan failed, the Straw Hat Boy reached out his hand.
"Hey, pass it over here!!"
"what!"
"Straw Hat Boy!?" Franky shouted as he chased Luffy, who was running across the rooftop holding his pants. "You bastard...are you satisfied with the ship?"
"Well, I've never seen such a great ship, thank you!!" Luffy answered Franky happily while running towards the ship.
"Of course, this is my super design!!" Franky said happily as he ran. "And I've made the appropriate adjustments according to your requirements! Have you seen my new invention, the Soldier Dock System?"
"not yet!"
"That's my most proud creation, you're sure to like it!" Franky said excitedly. "There's also a fish tank. You can put the fish you catch in it and watch them by the sink in the room below. It's like an aquarium. We can even eat together there! There's always fresh fish to eat!!"
Luffy grinned at Franky.
"That ship is the best dream ship for both you and me!" Franky said as he raised the cannonball in his hand. "Give me back my pants!"
"Chopper!!" Luffy happily threw his shorts to Chopper below. Zoro and Sanji also caught up with Franky at the same time and stuffed him into the cannon that Zanbai and the others had prepared long ago.
"Aim for the Hulk Island! Fire!!"
"Hey, what do you want to do?!"
"Ah, Luffy, he's running ahead!" Chopper looked at Franky flying across the sky in shock.
"Catch me, Chopper!" Luffy grinned and stretched out his arms, allowing Chopper to grab him before launching himself in the direction of the ship "Gum-Gum Rocket!!"
"Brother, how are you?"
Everyone looked at Franky as he flew over and plunged backwards into the rubble, his lower half without pants still exposed, completely on display.
"Franky!! Thank you for your boat!" Luffy stood on the boat holding up Franky's pants and shouted with a smile, "It's great, we will definitely cherish it!!"
"Oh!" Franky stood up, looked at the Straw Hat crew on the boat, and said with a satisfied smile, "Then I wish you a safe journey!"
"If you want to get these pants back, you have to become our partner!!" Luffy grinned at Franky under the ship.
The others laughed at Luffy's invitation to Franky.
Unexpectedly, Franky was not afraid at all and still posed in the nude state, which shocked everyone.
"Oh no, I underestimated him. I didn't expect him to be so stubborn!" Luffy said in disbelief. "He is simply a man among men!"
"If you don't mind being a little ruthless, I can help you." Robin said with a smile.
Everyone looked at Robin in confusion, and then saw her use her fruit power to grow hands on Franky's legs, and then...
A scream that frightened all men came out of Franky's mouth.
"No, Robin, are you serious!?" Qi looked at Robin in horror.
"Caught!" Luffy also looked terrified.
"Robin, he'll get hurt!!" Chopper covered his head in horror as he watched the scene.
"Hey, Robin, I just want him to join our gang, don't be too harsh!" Luffy came to his senses and shouted to Robin hurriedly.
"It hurts just looking at it!" Qi's face wrinkled, as if he could empathize with her.
"To make the pirates who see the treasure leave... there must be a sufficient reason! Otherwise, it's absolutely impossible!" Robin said with a smile.
Franky was sweating profusely from the pain, almost rolling his eyes, and his voice was weak. "I want to stay on this island! Thank you for your invitation. Although I would like to go with you, I have things I must do here! So I'll give you the boat."
Luffy and Chopper looked at Franky who was still persevering in such pain, and their faces wrinkled.
"This ship is my lifelong dream, a true dream ship!"
"Wait, Franky!" Aspago interrupted Franky and said seriously, "This ship has not yet become the dream ship you mentioned..."
Franky looked at Aspago and knew what he meant. When he was a child, he said that after he built the dream ship, he would ride on it as a shipbuilder and witness his own ship overcome numerous difficulties with his own eyes. That... was his real dream ship, but...
"What I want to do is different..." Franky retorted, looking at Aspago.
"What you want to do? Wrong!" Aspagu pointed out mercilessly, "Everything you are doing on the island now is atonement... You always think that Mr. Tom was captured because of you, so you have always regretted it. But Mr. Tom forgave you that day and showed you the way."
"You gathered the backstreet thugs together, calling them bounty hunters, and carried out raiders, all to protect the Water City. Even though it doesn't seem like it..."
"Of course not! I don't have such an idea at all!" Franky stood up and denied it.
