Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

when!

As soon as Luffy said this, there was a chorus of jaws dropping.

Everyone stared at Luffy and his crew with blank, envious eyes.

10 billion? You call that just casually exchanging a little bit?

But thinking about it carefully, compared to the gold worth over 5 trillion pegories, 10 billion is really just a tiny bit.

But it really made them envious and jealous!

As Nami returned to the ship and separated the gold, Espagu spoke up.

"Straw Hat!"

"While it is your freedom to fly wherever you want with this spaceship, the appearance of such a spaceship loaded with gold over the city will cause a commotion."

"To avoid unnecessary trouble and for the safety of the citizens, please leave this spaceship here for the time being!"

As Espagu spoke, he glanced at the densely packed crowd of citizens surrounding the dock and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

If a similar situation were to occur in the city, it would be difficult for the city to function normally.

Luffy noticed the worry and anxiety in Asbugu's eyes and readily agreed.

Anyway, he had already achieved his goal. This news would definitely reach Franky. It wouldn't be convenient to continue driving this ship around the city 24/7, so staying here was a good choice.

Afterwards, they stopped the maxim in an area that Espagu had newly arranged.

Then the group discussed it.

Zoro stayed behind to watch the ship and guard the gold on board.

The rest of the group went to a nearby location to exchange the gold that Nami had separated for money.

Because the shipyard was located in the city center and not far from places where money could be exchanged, they soon arrived at an exchange and exchanged 10 billion Berries.

Outside the exchange, the Straw Hat crew gathered together.

Nami said, "I gave everyone 1000 million Berries."

"This 1000 million Berries is your pocket money. We'll keep the remaining 9 million Berries for now and use them on the new ship when we have the chance."

Everyone was incredibly excited to hear that each person would have 1000 million Berries as pocket money.

Chopper said excitedly.

"Siguru! I used to only have 1000 Berries as pocket money every time I went to a town, but this time I have 10 million Berries."

"Great! I'm going to buy lots and lots of medical books and medicine."

Sanji lit a cigarette and said.

"Although we haven't found a new ship yet, we still need to have the necessary food. I'll go see if there are any fresh ingredients here!"

Usopp said excitedly.

"Now that we have so much money, I can finally start researching that!"

"I'm going to buy lots and lots of gunpowder!"

Seeing Usopp's excited state, the others couldn't help but wonder.

"That?! What is that?"

Usopp maintained a mysterious demeanor as he spoke.

"You'll know once I figure it out."

"It's a very powerful thing."

Usopp's eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement, which piqued the curiosity of everyone else, and they too began to look forward to it.

Only Luffy instantly realized what Usopp was talking about.

When he had Usopp research the Bucky Bomb, Usopp had figured out three types of Bucky Bombs.

Currently, only the most powerful type, the [Super-Baki Bomb], has not yet been researched and manufactured.

There was no other way; the pirate crew had never had the money to buy him so much gunpowder.

Even though he ate the Explosion Fruit, before he awakened it, he couldn't have produced that much gunpowder on his own.

Now that he finally has money, Usopp is so excited.

After listening to the plans of the others, Nami excitedly spoke to Uta and the other girls.

"Uta, Nojiko, Robin, Vivi, let's go shopping!"

"Now that we have so much money, we can buy lots and lots of beautiful new clothes!"

Soon, everyone else went off to do their own thing.

In the end, only Luffy and Karoo, one person and one duck, were left behind without any purpose.

Also left with them was the 9 million Berries that Nami had entrusted to him for safekeeping.

The man and the duck exchanged a glance.

"Gah!"

Karu called out.

It seems like she's saying to Luffy, "I'm counting on you!"

Luffy smiled slightly and said.

"Alright! I'll take you around today!"

After saying that, Luffy planned to take Karu back to the dock first, put the 9 million Berries on the Proverb, and then take Karu to explore the city.

However, when they returned to the dock with the money, they found a large crowd gathered at the entrance, all looking terrified. The scene was extremely chaotic, with occasional screams.

"Oh no! Franky actually came here!"

"What is that scoundrel doing here?"

"The Franky family makes a living by robbing pirates who come to this city and dismantling their ships. They must be after the Straw Hat crew's gold."

"This is really bad! If Franky angers the Straw Hat crew, will they destroy our city?"

"Someone stop him!"

"I heard that several foremen are currently confronting Franky in the shipyard!"

After hearing what had happened, Luffy quickly led Karu into the dock.

As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Franky and Rob Lucci and several other foremen standing face to face, looking tense and ready to fight.

Then Franky said.

"I told you, get out of my way! I need to go inside and check on the Straw Hat crew's spaceship!"

Rob Lucci looked serious, and the pigeon on his shoulder spoke for him.

"Mr. Espagu said that we should prevent anyone from approaching the Straw Hat crew's ship to prevent anyone from coveting their gold!"

"If we anger them, this city will be destroyed."

"So we definitely won't let you in."

This was something Esbagu specifically instructed these foremen to do before he left.

He was afraid that someone in the city would covet the Straw Hat Gang's gold and make a move against them.

In that case, it could threaten the safety of the entire city.

That's why Espagu instructed the shipwrights to prevent anyone from approaching the ship.

Franky said impatiently upon hearing this.

"So didn't I say I was just going to take a look at the ship's structure?"

"I want to know how they built this spaceship, and why it can fly?"

Franky was stunned when his underlings reported that the Straw Hat crew had appeared in the city with gold worth over 5 trillion Berries.

However, when he thought about the Straw Hat crew's strength, he still hesitated.

But when his underlings continued to report to him that the Straw Hat crew was sailing a flying ship, he couldn't sit still any longer.

He considered himself to have extensive knowledge of shipbuilding, having followed his master Tom.

I've never heard of a ship that can fly.

Therefore, he was very curious about this spaceship.

So I thought I'd come and take a look.

But clearly, he had such a bad reputation in the city that nobody believed him.

Then Kaku continued his words.

"That's a stupid excuse, Franky."

"In this city, who doesn't know the Franky family's ways?"

Do you think we'd believe your story?

Upon hearing this, Franky completely lost his patience and gritted his teeth, speaking angrily in a deep voice.

"Damn it! You bastards!"

"How dare you not believe me!"

"Looks like we have no choice but to take action."

As Franky spoke, he clenched his fists.

The scene made the surrounding onlookers tense.

Frankie is the biggest villain in the city, and every citizen has witnessed his horrific nature.

So even though the opponents were these powerful foremen, it couldn't help but make ordinary people like them worry.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind Franky.

"You want to see our spaceship?"

Upon hearing the voice, all the shipwrights in the dock looked toward the speaker, and Franky also turned around in confusion.

When the crowd saw who was speaking, they were immediately filled with terror.

"That...that's Straw Hat Boy!"

"What? Why did the Straw Hat Boy suddenly come back?"

"Oh no! We have to stop Franky quickly! If Straw Hat Luffy finds out that Franky is trying to steal their gold, he'll be furious."

The boatmen quickly discussed the matter and immediately prepared to launch an attack on Franky.

Just then, Luffy raised his hand to signal them to stop.

"It's alright! If he wants to see it, I'll take him!"

As Luffy spoke, he looked at Franky with a slight smile on his lips.

Franky looked on with a puzzled expression at this scene.

He didn't expect Luffy to be so easy to talk to.

Is Straw Hat Boy rumored to be a super villain who does all sorts of evil?

Franky was puzzled.

However, he was more concerned about reading the proverbs, so he didn't bother to think about it too much.

After receiving Luffy's permission, he followed Luffy and headed towards the place where the proverb was kept.

Just then, a boatman's worried voice rang out from nearby.

"Straw Hat Boy, you don't understand Franky."

"He's a villain, he'll definitely steal your gold, don't take him on your ship!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy looked over and saw that almost every shipwright's face was filled with worry and fear.

They were all afraid that Franky would anger the Straw Hat crew and cause the city to be destroyed.
