One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Chapter 178 The Golden Sunny! The Underwear Battle and the Shipwright's Tears

In the morning in the City of Water, the sea breeze carries a hint of saltiness and freshness.

Surrounded by Franky's younger brothers, the Straw Hat crew arrived at Shipwreck Island in a grand procession.

This place used to be an abandoned coastline piled with marine debris.

But at this moment, all the scrap metal has been cleaned up.

In the very center of the coastline stands a colossal object shrouded in a huge white curtain.

Iceberg stood before the curtain, his face bearing an undisguised mix of pride and exhaustion.

This was a miracle achieved by him and Carrera's top-notch foremen, who worked tirelessly through the night.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Straw Hat Boy."

Iceberg looked at Luffy's expectant eyes, a smile playing on his lips, and suddenly pulled down the thick rope controlling the curtain:

"This is your 500 million Berry."

"A dream ship built for you by our Carrera company and Frankie!"

"Splash—!!!"

A huge white curtain cascaded down like a waterfall in the bright morning sunlight.

A massive pirate ship, radiating unparalleled vitality, was displayed before everyone without reservation.

It was a two-masted schooner several times larger than the Merry.

The bow of the ship features a giant lion's head that seems to be roaring towards the rising sun.

On the deck, there was a layer of real green grass, and even a few orange trees.

"Waaaaaah!!!!"

Luffy's eyes instantly turned into dazzling stars like searchlights, and drool uncontrollably streamed down his face.

"So cool!!! So incredibly cool!!!!"

"Is this our new ship?! It has lions! It has grass!!"

Luffy was so excited that he jumped and bounced around like a monkey.

Usopp and Chopper hugged each other and shouted excitedly.

Even Sanji and Zoro were amazed.

"It's simply a perfect masterpiece." Nami covered her mouth.

Looking at this masterpiece that had been the culmination of countless hours of effort, Iceberg nodded in satisfaction and proposed to the group:

"This ship is built from the strongest wood, and it will cross the cruel 'Sea of ​​a Thousand'."

"No matter what storms we encounter, we can sail as brightly as the sun."

"So, I gave it a name—let's call it 'Ten Thousand Sunny'!"

"The Thousand Sunny?" Luffy's eyes lit up.

"Great name! It sounds so hopeful!" Usopp exclaimed in agreement.

Everyone thought the name was extremely fitting and was about to raise their hands in cheers.

Just then.

Victor stretched out his long, slender fingers and gently stroked the unique wood grain of the Adam Tree, feeling the ship's pulsating "heartbeat".

Then, he turned around and looked at everyone with a smile:

"Wanli Yangguang, this is indeed an impeccable name, full of expectations for the future."

"However, Mr. Iceberg, Luffy."

"I suggest adding two words before this name—'Gold'."

"The Golden Thousand Sunny".

Upon hearing this, the entire room seemed to be put on pause.

Luffy's cheering motion froze in mid-air.

Usopp's body trembled violently.

The image of that heavy snowfall simultaneously flashed into their minds.

I was reminded of the Going Merry, the ship that burst into flames on the dark sea and thanked them in its final moments.

That is their eternal pain, and also their eternal family.

"Victor..."

Nami's eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up in them.

Usopp covered his mouth, trying his best to hold back his tears.

Viktor looked at everyone, his eyes softening, and he said softly:

"Although Merry's keel was broken, and its body had sunk to the bottom of the sea."

"But its soul has already been brought back by us."

"Merry's spirit will remain with this new ship."

"This is the passing down of will, and it is also our promise to that old friend from the past."

"We want to take its share with us and go see the ends of the earth together."

"So... what do you think of the 'Thousand Sunny'?"

Luffy raised his arm.

When he looked up again, that radiant smile, as bright as the sun, bloomed on his face once more.

"good!!!"

"That's the name!!! Our new ship—the Golden Sunny!!"

"Ohhhhhhh!!!"

The crowd erupted in even louder cheers than before.

"Victor..."

Nami was deeply moved and hugged Viktor tightly around the waist, burying her tear-streaked face in his chest.

Victor chuckled and patted her on the back, soothing the excited little thief.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of owning a new ship.

"snort."

Franky, who had been standing to the side, suddenly snorted coldly.

He deliberately turned his back to the magnificent warship and the Straw Hat crew:

"Take it, this ship is a gift from me to you."

"I'm not going. My home is in Water Seven, and I need to stay here and take care of these good-for-nothing underlings."

With that, Franky strode off, preparing to leave Shipwreck Island.

however.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

A series of kneeling sounds rang out.

Led by Zambry, dozens of Franky's underlings knelt down in front of him, blocking his path.

Everyone was crying their eyes out, with snot and tears streaming down their faces.

"What are you guys doing?! Get up right now!" Franky roared.

"Straw Hat Bro!! Victor Bro!!"

Zambai ignored Franky and turned to Luffy and Victor, kowtowing and weeping as he shouted:

"Please, please!! Take our awkward older brother away!!!"

He gave up his dream of going to sea for us...

"But he's now a super wanted criminal with a bounty of 4400 million Berries!!!"

"The navy will be here to arrest him soon! He's doomed if he stays here!!"

"Please, please take him out to sea! Only you can protect him!!"

"You bunch of bastards! Who said I was going out to sea! I'm not going anywhere!"

Seeing this touching yet comical scene, Luffy, holding his straw hat, exchanged a glance with Viktor.

The two understood each other perfectly.

Reasoning with this stubborn, soft-hearted guy is useless; you can only resort to the thuggish methods of pirates.

"Hehehe..."

Luffy grinned and suddenly stretched his right arm back.

"Rubber, rubber—"

"Huh? Straw Hat Boy, what are you trying to do?!" Franky exclaimed in surprise.

"Give it to me!!!"

Swish!

Luffy's arm shot out like lightning, grabbing Franky's only blue swim trunks with perfect precision, and then ripping them off forcefully!

"Sizzle!"

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

A terrified scream echoed across the derelict ship island.

Franky felt a chill run down his lower body, and when he looked down, he realized that his ultimate defense had vanished!

Meanwhile, Luffy, waving his blue briefs, began to run wildly across the ruins of the shipwrecked island.

"Hahahaha!!!"

Luffy ran while turning back to make faces:

"If you want your underwear back, come get it on the boat yourself! You pervert!!!"

"You damn straw hat bastard!! I'm going to kill you!!!"

Frankie completely lost it.

He was naked from the waist down, his hands tightly covering his groin, and with his hairy legs striding forward, he began a frantic chase after Luffy.

"Give me back my 'dignity' and 'lower body'!!"

"Come and catch me! Can't catch me! Hehehe!"

The two engaged in a rather comical chase on the abandoned ship island.

"Pfft... Hahahaha!!"

Zoro and Sanji, watching from the sidelines, felt their stomachs ache and let out merciless laughter.

"Oh dear, it looks awful."

Nami blushed and quickly pulled Robin away, trying to avoid seeing the disgusting scene.

After chasing for a while, Franky realized he couldn't outrun the rubber man at all, and became furious.

"Damn it! You forced me to do this!!"

Franky stopped in his tracks and suddenly pointed both hands at Luffy: "Left-hand weapon—"

Just as he was about to fire.

"Since you still refuse to be honest with your own heart..."

Robin, who had been facing away from them, suddenly spoke up.

A sly smile curled at the corners of her lips as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Then we'll have to resort to the tough methods of us pirates."

"Second Round Flower - Snatch!"

Swish!

Two slender, fair arms suddenly sprouted from the inside of Franky's thighs.

These two hands showed no hesitation...

"Huh?"

Franky froze instantly.

next second.

"Awoooooo!!!!"

A sudden, horrifying, pig-like scream erupted from Franky's throat.

The pain contained in that scream moved all the men present.

Even the younger members of the Franky family couldn't help but gasp.

Everyone instinctively squeezed their legs together, feeling a dull ache in their lower bodies.

"thump."

Franky instantly lost all fighting ability, his knees slammed heavily to the ground, foaming at the mouth, his hands flailing helplessly in the air.

"Robin-san... this... this is too cruel..."

Sanji clenched his legs, cold sweat pouring down his back.

Victor's eye twitched, and he walked up to Franky, who was writhing in pain.

Looking at Franky's expression of utter agony, he sighed helplessly and called out to Robin in the distance:

"Robin, loosen it a little."

"If it were really crushed, our shipwrights would not only be unable to repair ships, but they might not even be able to be men anymore."

Robin smiled slightly and reduced the force a little.

Viktor crouched down, his playful expression vanishing, and his eyes turned serious:

"Frankie".

"Is your dream simply to stay on this small island and 'build' this ship?"

"If you don't personally board it, don't witness it cross all the raging storms, and don't accompany it to the ends of the earth..."

"For you, this ship... will always be an unfinished, half-finished product!"

"As its creator, are you content with this?!"

Victor's words struck Franky's heart like a heavy hammer.

"I..." Franky gritted his teeth, his eyes already brimming with tears.

At this moment, the iceberg also came over.

He was holding a bulging backpack, which was Franky's usual tool bag.

"Bang."

Iceberg tossed his backpack in front of Franky, looking down at his childhood friend:

"Go, Franky."

"The City of Water no longer needs you, and I will take care of these underlings as well."

Go and fulfill your dreams.

"Let's go and finish the journey that Mr. Tom didn't complete back then!"

"Senior brother..."

Franky looked up, his vision completely blurred.

He looked at the iceberg standing in front of him.

Looking at Zambry and his men kneeling on the ground, weeping uncontrollably.

He looked at the Golden Thousand Sunny, which was quietly waiting for him.

Finally, he looked at Luffy, Victor, and all the Straw Hat crew members who were smiling and extending their hands to him.

Franky could no longer deceive himself about his inner desires.

"Waaaaaah!!!"

His tear ducts instantly broke down, and tears gushed from his eyes like two small waterfalls.

"Give me back my pants!!"

Franky snatched the blue swim trunks that Luffy threw back at him and put them back on with the speed of someone who'd been single for over thirty years.

He stood up from the ground, wiped away the tears and snot from his face, and suddenly brought his arms together in front of him.

That iconic star pose was dazzling in the sunlight.

"SUPER—!!!"

Franky roared, grinning broadly to reveal that confident smile:

"Since you bunch of bastards are begging me like this..."

"Then this humble servant will reluctantly..."

"Let me be your personal shipwright!!!"

"Ohhhhhhh!!!"

On the abandoned ship island, deafening cheers erupted once again.

With this cheer, the Straw Hat Pirates' eighth member—shipwright Franky—officially joined the crew.
