Chapter 113 Leaving the Seven Waters City (6k)

The next afternoon, the weather was cool, the sea breeze was chilly, and large clouds blocked the sky, making it difficult for light to penetrate.

The waves grew more violent, signaling a brewing storm.

After negotiating with the iceberg, the Merry was passing through the front port of the Seven Water City and into the back street, and was sent to the upper shipbuilding island using the watergate elevator.

It was then pulled into the dock along the main river channel by the huge facilities of Dock No. 1.

Today, all construction work at Dock No. 1 has been stopped and the site is fully open to the public. A large number of residents who have sought refuge from the back streets have gathered inside and outside the site, and it is clearly overcrowded.

The most respected person on this island by the civilians, Iceberg, the mayor and general manager of Carrera, was standing on the deck of the Merry with the Straw Hat Pirates.

"It's unbelievable."

Bingshan stroked his neatly styled purple hair and said, "You actually drove such a shabby ship all the way from the East China Sea over the Upside-Down Mountain. It seems that your navigator is very powerful."

"Hey what are you talking about asshole!"

Usopp stepped forward and pointed at the other person's nose, "You actually said that the Merry is a broken ship! You are a shipwright, how unprofessional!"

"Don't get so excited Long Nose."

Bingshan waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "I respect any ship that is built. It can be seen from many details that the person who designed this ship was very attentive.

"But the objective fact is that this ship is very average, both in terms of materials and manufacturing process."

"So what! Even if it's not as good as the one built by your shipyard, Merry is still our favorite ship!" Usopp retorted righteously.

"Oh~~ You are so stubborn."

Bingshang sighed, "It reminds me of a certain idiot. Never mind. Anyway, just leave your ship here. The gods of water cannot come here to influence you."

"Hehehe, thank you so much, uncle."

Luffy grinned and said, "I'll take care of the ship repair and renovation as well. Can you also help me design a bronze statue?"

"Please do not pay any attention to him."

Nami raised her hand to stop Luffy and said, "More importantly, please decorate the Merry well."

"And more! Add a few more cannons!" Usopp suggested.

"The kitchen should be expanded as well."

"Infirmary! Can I have an infirmary?"

"Don't worry, come one by one."

Bingshan crossed his arms across his chest. It had been a long time since he had experienced the joy of personally taking on a job designing a ship. He couldn't help but smile:

"Don't worry, the ship will be bigger by then, and we'll have everything you mentioned, except the bronze statue."

"Great!"

The group of people returned to their usual cheerful atmosphere.

"Speaking of which, why are there so many people seeking refuge here?"

Reiner looked down at the crowded field, where hundreds and thousands of small tents had been set up. "When I came up just now, I saw that there didn't seem to be so many people at other docks."

"Because the five foremen of Dock No. 1 are idols of everyone in the Seven Waters."

Barry, with his blond hair combed back, jumped up from below. "For example, I was the one who saved the iceberg last night."

Barry turned his head to look at them, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Nami in a short skirt in the crowd. He immediately pointed at her and shouted,
"You, you, you! You shameless woman! How can you wear something that exposes your legs?"

Nami: "."

"What's it to you? I'm not wearing it for you to see." Nami rolled her eyes at him and moved closer to Reiner.

"Okay Barry, isn't your fiancée the same way?"

Bingshan put a hand on his shoulder and advised: "If you can't stand it, just don't watch it. How are the arrangements for the residents' evacuation going?"

"Really? Two-thirds of the people have already evacuated."

Barry gritted his teeth, "Shouldn't this kind of thing be done by Kalifa? And that pigeon-raising bastard and the long-nosed bastard actually disappeared at this time."

"Hey! Who are you calling a man with a long nose?" Usopp shouted with dissatisfaction.

Iceberg looked at Barry with embarrassment. Reiner had already told him about the identity of CP9 last night, but he had not told Barry yet.

After all, they had lived together for five years, and Bingshan really couldn't bear to hit him.

"Speaking of which, there is one more thing."

Reiner's eyes fell on Iceberg, "Let's talk about the train to Judicial Island inside."

Robin mentioned the matter of the Demon Slayer Order last night when the three of them were in the study. Iceberg probably knew what Reiner was referring to, so he jumped off the boat and walked towards the mansion in the depths.

"I understand. Come with me."

At this time, on the northeast coast of Backstreet, there is a warehouse under a bridge near the scrapyard. This was once the base of Tom's studio.

After Tom's death, the studio was disbanded and the warehouse under the bridge was abandoned until four years ago, when Franky, who had been missing for four years, came back as a cyborg and reopened the place as a secret base.

At this moment, a man with a grim face and wearing a black suit and a top hat was sitting on the shabby sofa in the dim warehouse.

"Frankie is back. He's heading to the shipbreaking yard."

Lucci hung up the Den Den Mushi in his hand and put it down. At the same time, he picked up the two bounty warrants on the table. His eyes were cold and his face was full of dissatisfaction.

"The Blue Ghost and the Red Ghost only offer a reward of 120 million each. What on earth is the intelligence from above saying?"

Bruno, who was wrapped in bandages, gnashed his teeth.

"Although they all belong to the World Government, the several organizations have long been like a pile of loose sand, not to mention the unreliable chief Spandam."

"It's not nice to say that about your boss."

Kalifa raised her hand and gently adjusted her glasses. "No matter how stupid he is, he is still our superior after all."

"There's not a shred of respect in what you said, Khalifa." Kaku said calmly. Even though he had changed out of his boatman's clothes, he was still wearing a baseball cap.

As agents trained by the World Government since childhood, they will unconditionally execute orders from above, but this does not prevent them from privately disliking their superiors in various ways.

Cursing the boss while doing his orders is a true portrayal of a living beast.

In the second half of last night, they relied on Bruno's Door-Door Fruit to sneak into Iceberg's mansion again. However, as soon as they appeared, the Green Demon and the Red Demon appeared in front of them.

After exchanging several moves, everyone suffered losses. Knowing that it was impossible to attack Iceberg, they shifted their target to Franky.

"We have to give up on the iceberg, though."

Lu Qi stood up with a cold light in his eyes, "Given the other party's cautiousness, I suspect he has already given the Pluto design to someone else.
"Go to the shipbreaking yard and capture Franky and interrogate him. Even if you can't get any information out of him, you have to take him back with you. I don't believe that Iceberg can sit still."

"Is this how CP9 behaves?"

Robin said sarcastically: "You can convict someone based on nothing more than speculation. You are indeed an agent trained by the World Government."

"You can't change the facts, Nico Robin, by talking nonsense."

Lucci said in a cold tone, "You should know what kind of trial you will receive when you arrive at Judicial Island."

"Haha, that's ridiculous."

Robin sneered, "It's just a formality in an empty courtroom. Don't use such a noble word as trial."

The Judiciary Island, so-called a court, is actually just a place where the World Government convicts people under the guise of a high-sounding ceremony. In the 800 years since the establishment of the World Government, there has never been a report of a not guilty verdict.

"This is your own choice, just accept it."

Leaving behind these cold words, the CP9 members led by Lucci walked out of the warehouse under the bridge.

Robin followed with a gloomy look, her worried thoughts surging. She had naturally prepared herself mentally, and the only thing she was worried about was her companions on the ship.

The gray sky became increasingly gloomy, and gusts of cold wind continued to blow across this maritime city.

The nearby sea has become turbulent, with blue waves hitting the coast wildly. In the deserted houses on the edge of the back street, the water level has spread to a level that is high enough to submerge the calves.

A large number of residents, with their families and carrying large and small bags, gathered around the huge Watergate elevator.

"Everyone please line up in an orderly manner! Don't crowd!"

On the platform next to a Watergate elevator, a blonde beauty administrator was holding a megaphone and directing the people below.

"Dock No. 1 is full! Please go up and head to the left to take shelter at Dock No. 7 and Dock No. 6!"

Silvery drizzles began to fall from the sky, swaying in the strong wind and hitting people's faces, making the already crowded crowd even more uneasy.

Compared to the back streets where residents have to move for shelter every year, the residents of the upper central streets seem safe and orderly. Some even sit directly on the upstairs terrace, leisurely drinking tea while watching the crowds of people coming to the upper floors for shelter below.

At this time, in the study of Bingshan, a luxury house deep in Dock No. 1, the wall that had a hole broken last night has been restored to its original state by the hands of skilled craftsmen.
"Aha! See you again, big sisters and big brothers!" Chimuni ran out from behind Grandma Kokoro, holding the blue-haired rabbit.

"Oh wow! It's Chimney."

Nami walked up to her and ruffled her blonde hair, then looked at Grandma Kokoro who was lying on the sofa and drinking before the evening, and she immediately became furious!

"What the hell is this map you gave me?"

Nami pointed at the other person's nose and cursed: "And that letter of introduction! As soon as they said it was you who introduced them, they raised the price. You vicious old woman, are you trying to cheat us out of our money?"

"Ahahahaha!"

Granny Kokoro shook her head and laughed, "Is that so? Bingshan is such a heartless guy!"

"Don't talk like it has nothing to do with you, asshole!!" Nami grinned.

"Alright old woman."

Bingshan sat directly next to Kokoro and said, "What I told you this morning, about using that car to send them to Judicial Island, can you still drive when you are so drunk?"

"Oh, yes, there is also this matter."

Granny Kokoro looked drunk and staggered to her feet. "Of course it's no problem. Don't underestimate me."

boom!
Before she could finish her words, Granny Kokoro fell headfirst to the ground with her legs up in the air!
“Isn’t this a problem?!”

Nami's eyes popped out, "Who would dare to ride in a car like this?!"

Then he held his forehead and gritted his teeth, saying: "Really, is it so difficult to find a normal person in this world? I might as well just fly over there on Reiner's falcon."

"Unfortunately, the falcon is not strong enough."

Reiner sat on the sofa opposite Granny Kokoro and looked at the glass window that was vibrating due to the blowing.

"The weather is so bad now, and the wind is so strong, it can't carry so many people out of this sea area."

“Hahahaha, leave it to me!”

Granny Kokoro stood up, holding onto the table, shook her head and grinned:

"If there's anything that can cross the ocean amidst the tsunami of the water gods, it's the Sea Train."

"But that one was a toy that was discarded when it was first built as a sea train twelve years ago."

"Toys?" Everyone asked. "Well, you'll know in a moment."

Bingshan put down the cup and stood up. "It has been left there for twelve years. It will not open if it is not knocked around. And the fuel needs to be replenished.
"You guys sit down and drink tea first, I'll go over and clean up, you can take them over later, old woman."

"I know, little brat."

Granny Kokoro raised her head and took a sip of wine, "When the little brat grows up, he speaks with confidence."
-
On the northeast coast of Water 7, in Franky's House, a tall man with blue hair and only wearing underwear was sitting against the wall.

"Bruno! And that bastard boatman from Carrera!"

The wounded Franky looked solemnly at the familiar figures in front of him, "What on earth do you mean! My little brother was beaten like this, is it you who did it?!"

Yesterday he took the money out to trade for the coveted Adam wood, and just came back from St. Poplar Town this afternoon, only to see his brothers buried in the sand.

Before he could ask, the men in black suddenly attacked him. Except for Bruno who ran the bar, he was relatively familiar with them because he often went to him to replenish his Coke.

Franky only met the others a few times. He knew they were from Carrera Company.
"Answer my question, you bastard! Why are you pretending to be so cool!" Franky yelled as he struggled to stand up.

"Unfortunately, your men were not injured by us."

Kaku said coldly, "We only have one goal here, and that is you, Franky."

"hehe!"

Franky raised the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically: "Why would the people from the shipyard look for a gangster like me? They can't be fascinated by my charm."

"Stop talking nonsense, Franky."

Lu Qi put his hands in his pockets and looked gloomy, “Tom who died eight years ago had two apprentices. One of them was smashed to pieces not long after while trying to intercept a sea train;
“Everyone thought you were dead, but!
"Four years ago, you changed your appearance and reappeared in Carrera. Although I only met you once, I still remember you."

"You have a really good memory, and you still say you are bewitched by me."

Franky had a vague guess as to why the boatmen were digging up these old memories.

Although the incident at that time did cause a lot of uproar, he couldn't think of anyone else who would bring it up again except the officials of the World Government.

The bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, but there was no change on his face, and he was still smiling.

"So what? Your Carrera Company is not a secret organization. Or do you have a rule that people cannot enter in underwear?"

"No need to test Franky."

Kalifa pulled out a thorn whip in her hand, "We are CP9, an intelligence agency directly under the World Government. Just cooperate with us."

"Hey, isn't this the beautiful secretary of Iceberg?"

Franky raised his modified arm and opened it to reveal the gun muzzle inside. "You are dressed very sexy today. How do you want me to cooperate with you?"

"Moonstep!"

Kalifa exploded quickly, and her figure disappeared under the opponent's gun in the blink of an eye, and she suddenly pulled out the thorn whip from the air.

clatter! clatter! clatter!
Franky raised his hand quickly, and bullets poured out, but he was dazzled by the opponent's ghostly figure in the air and it was difficult to aim.
"Flying in the air?!"

"shave!"

The next moment, Bruno appeared in front of him in an instant.

Franky subconsciously punched out with his right fist, hitting the opponent's chest, but it made a dull collision sound as if hitting steel.

"What's the situation with these guys' moves!"

Franky gritted his teeth and reached out to grab the other person's neck, but the long thorn whip in the sky kept lashing at him and wrapping around him.

As Kalifa pulled hard, the whip instantly shrank. The thorns kept rubbing against the front of his body, creating sparks, but his back was pierced fiercely, and blood kept oozing out.

"Ah!! It hurts, bastard!"

boom!
The bound Franky fell to the ground. The more he struggled, the deeper the thorns pierced him. He gritted his teeth and stared fiercely at Lucci and Kaku who were slowly approaching.
"So you're a lackey of the World Government! Why are you looking for a thug like me? It's not illegal for me to run a shipbreaking yard!"

"It has come to this. What's the point of pretending to be stupid and young?"

Lucci looked down at Franky on the ground with cold eyes, "I don't expect you to speak, just listen to me quietly and take his pulse."

Kaku nodded and stepped forward, squatted down and put his hand on Franky's pulse, but looked up at Lucci in confusion.

"Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter!"

Franky suddenly laughed, "I've heard of this move before, but unfortunately it doesn't work on me because I've already been transformed into a steel super-per."

boom! !

"Ouch!" Before Franky could finish his words, he was kicked hard in the face, and even the skin and flesh were sunken.

Lucci's expression became even more gloomy. He gritted his teeth and looked at Franky, whose head was bleeding on the ground, "You bastard, iron lump!"

This long-term mission has kept him lurking on this island for five full years!
As a result, everything became a mess when the Straw Hat Pirates arrived!

Not only did he fail to take action against the iceberg, he also suffered a loss!

This iron lump made him want to kill someone as soon as he opened his mouth!
Lucci leaned over and grabbed Franky's hair, then punched him in the face again and again as if to vent his anger.

Blood splatters!

Lucci's extremely rare anger made Bruno and Kalifa a little scared.

"Calm down Lucci!"

Kaku said in a low voice and grabbed his hand, "Our mission is not to bring back a dead person."

Lucci stopped, his eyes regained their composure, let go of Franky, who was bruised and swollen, and asked, "How long will the train take?"

"after an hour."

Kaku looked up at the gradually darkening sky and said, "The contact will come over on the Tom. We will set off as soon as the sea train arrives."

"Cuff him and take him back." Lucci left without looking back.

The sun gradually set, avoiding the thick clouds in the sky and standing on the sea level, casting its last rays of light on this water city.

Golden ripples danced on the water surface, and passers-by on the street were walking hurriedly with umbrellas in hand. Their shadows were elongated by the dim light and reflected obliquely on the wall.

At this time, the evacuation operation was nearing its end. The seven docks were crowded with residents from the back streets, and Dock No. 1 was extremely crowded.

There were not enough rooms and warehouses, so people just set up tents in open areas.

"The wind is getting stronger!"

"Hurry up! Nail the tent tight and secure it!"

The refugees were busy coming and going, and local boatmen also came down with hammers and ropes to help.

In the mansion, in the spacious study of Iceberg, Reiner stood by the window with his hands in his pockets, looking at the distant sea in the last glimmer of light from the setting sun.

I saw a slender black shadow like a snake walking on the waves and quickly moving towards the Seven Water City.

"The Sea Train is coming."

Reiner said calmly, "If they wanted to leave before the tsunami, they should have set off without stopping."

Everyone stepped forward and stood by the window, looking at the smoking train in the distance.

"Sorry little Robin, please wait for us."

"As soon as the other party leaves, Granny Kokoro will take us on another train."

"Luffy Chopper! Look at me!"

On the side, Usopp, wearing a red cape and a yellow mask, showed off to Luffy and said in a low voice:

"I was born on Sniper Island! I'm the one who never misses a shot. I aim at the rat's eyes and your heart at the same time!

"The man from Sniper Island is the Sniper King!!"

"Oh wow wow!!"

Luffy and Chopper's eyes lit up and their mouths opened in excitement!
"Where is Sniper Island!"

"Can you take us there? Sniper King!"

"Huh huh huh~"

Usopp took off his mask and showed off, "How about it! Isn't it handsome?"

"So handsome!"

Chopper even had a blush on his face, "Taikoola Usopp!!"

"I think you guys are seriously ill!" Nami raised her fist and yelled:
"We are going to the Judicial Island! It is the central agency of the World Government. They also have the support of the Demon Killing Order. Pay attention to me, you bastards!"

It would have been fine if Nami didn't say anything, but as soon as Usopp mentioned the danger of this journey, he immediately lost hope.

"Oh no! I got it once I got on the Shanghai train"

duang!

"Shut up! Get ready to go!" Nami knocked him down with one punch.

"what!!"

Chopper was so scared that his face turned pale. He kept shaking Usopp who fell to the ground, "Sniper King! Are you okay? Doctor, come quickly, doctor!"

Between Docks 2 and 3 is the sea train station of the Seven Water City called [Blue Station].

Not long after the Tom returned to Blue Station, Lucci and others took Robin and Franky on the train.

Excluding the locomotive, there are seven carriages in total.

The first two carriages were empty, while the other five were now filled with soldiers in naval uniforms and agents in black suits.

One of the short agents walked out, came to Lucci, stretched out his hand and said with a smile:

"My name is Gochi, and I'm in charge of picking you up and escorting the prisoner this time."

However, he did not get any response, and Lucci walked straight past him and went to carriage number one.

"Thank you."

It was Kaku who stayed behind, lowering his head and pointing his long nose at Gochi, "We will be in carriages one and two, just do your job and don't come to disturb us if there is nothing wrong."

"Okay, okay, we got it." Gochi smiled awkwardly and nodded in agreement.
Woo-woo-woo!

As boarding was completed, black smoke continued to billow from the chimney of the Tom, and the steam power made the wheels turn.

The sea train gradually accelerated and sailed away along the rails.

Not long after they left.
In an abandoned warehouse on the back street, a few torches barely illuminated the brick walls of the room.

“This is what we’re going to sit on!”

Granny Kokoro stood in front of a crude-looking locomotive shaped like a shark head with sharp teeth painted on it.

"It has been vacant for twelve years and cannot be used to carry passengers - the runaway sea train, the Rocket Man!"
