Franky's Defeat
Water 7: Abandoned Shipyard
Night fell, and the air was thick with the scent of blood.
In just a few minutes, the once bustling abandoned shipyard has become Shura Hell.
The members of the Franky Family lay sprawled on the ground, each covered in blood and groaning in pain, the flickering firelight reflecting their terrified eyes.
The Square-Head Sisters Kiwi and Mozu, huddled behind a pile of scrap metal, hugging each other tightly, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
They watched helplessly as the six "humanoid beasts" tore their home apart bit by bit.
"Boss... run, run!"
A thug with a bruised and swollen face struggled to get up, but Kalifa coldly stomped him back onto the floor, her high heels digging deep into his shoulder.
"So filthy," she uttered dismissively.
At this moment, only Franky is still fighting to the death!
"Click-clack!!"
His entire body crackled with metallic energy as he forcefully clashed head-on with Kaku!
"SUPER--! Get lost, you long-nosed bastard!!"
"Snort."
Kaku's eyes turned cold, and his earlier teasing vanished. "Enough."
"Tempest Kick!"
"Whoosh!"
A high-pressure slash, accompanied by a spiraling blade of air, shot out and struck Franky squarely in the chest!
"Bang!!"
Franky was blasted into the depths of the pile of parts like a kite with a broken string, metal and gears flying everywhere, dust billowing up.
"Boss--!"
Kiwi and Mozu gasped, tears streaming down their faces. Just as they were about to rush forward, Blueno blocked them with a "shave" move.
Spandam then slowly stepped forward, his nostrils flaring and a smug smile on his face.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Look at the mess you make."
He pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his hands. "Why didn't you just cooperate obediently earlier? Why did you have to take this beating? Is your brain rusted?"
As he slowly approached the dust-filled pile of parts, he continued his taunts, "Get out here now, and if you kowtow and admit your mistake, I'll..."
"Whoosh!!"
The dust and mist were suddenly torn apart by a force!
A massive metal giant suddenly charged out, its eyes wide with rage, its arms crackling with electricity, and grabbed Spandam by the neck!
"Don't come any closer!!"
Franky roared, and the cola-powered reactor in his chest expanded and roared, while his metal hands tightened inch by inch!
"If anyone dares to take another step, I'll crush this piece of trash's neck!!"
Spandam was instantly terrified, his mouth twitching, snot, saliva, and tears flying everywhere. "Help! Help me!! Please help me!! Ahhh!!"
The CP9 members were stunned for a moment. Lucci stopped in his tracks, his gaze icy.
Kaku frowned and stopped his attack; Blueno's eyes were cold.
Franky, panting heavily and drenched in cold sweat, still held Spandam firmly, yelling, "Kiwi, Mozu! Quick! Take them all away!!"
The Square-Head Sisters wiped away their tears, rushed out immediately, and tried their best to help their fallen companion as they desperately retreated to the back alley!
"Everyone, get out of here!! Don't look back!!"
But in that moment when Franky was distracted—
"Shave."
A dark shadow suddenly appeared close to my face, its rapid movement, almost invisible to the naked eye, slicing through the air!
Shigan!
"Pfft--!"
"Snap--!"
Franky's metal arms were instantly pierced through!
Armament Haki- covered fingertips pierced through alloy like a sharp spear, sparks flying and metal fragments exploding!
"Ahhh--!"
Franky screamed in pain, his grip loosening instantly. Spandam seized the opportunity to scramble away from his grasp, wailing as he burrowed behind the broad-shouldered Blueno: "You bastard!!"
Lucci stood still, slowly retracting his right arm, staring coldly at Franky, who was kneeling on one knee, his body covered in charred soot, his tone as sharp as a knife. "Foolish."
"You shouldn't be distracted when facing the enemy."
The air seemed to freeze, and the aura of death enveloped the ruins of the abandoned shipyard.
"You bastard!!"
Spandam rose from the ground, his face covered in dust and blood, his eyes burning with rage and humiliation.
He drew his sword, Funkfreed, pointing the tip at Franky, and roared furiously, "I'm going to fucking kill you!!"
He stomped his foot on the floor and roared as he charged toward the fallen Franky!
At that very moment--
"ROOM."
A deep, calm, yet undeniable voice pierced the night, and space suddenly distorted violently!
"Whoosh!!"
Franky's figure suddenly swapped with a giant ship hull component weighing several tons next to him!
"Clang--!"
"Bang--!"
Spandam's sword struck the steel fittings with a heavy thud, sparks flying everywhere. The enormous recoil was like a flash flood, causing him excruciating pain in his wrist. He rolled backward, face down, and once again lay face-first on the ground!
"Ughhh!!"
He rolled on the ground, his face bruised and swollen, letting out a pig-like scream, "Who?! Who did this?!"
"Snort."
A young man, wearing a military cloak, slowly walked out from the smoke and dust, his fingers still gently twirling in mid-air.
Commodore Trafalgar Law of the Marine Headquarters makes his appearance!
His fingertips traced ripples in the azure space, his eyes as cold as blades.
"I did it."
With his casual remark, four figures emerged simultaneously from the mist.
Zoro drew his three swords, stepped forward, the blades reflecting the firelight, his aura overwhelming. "Law, can we cut them all down now?"
Kuina, dressed in a naval uniform with her long hair tied up, placed one hand on her sword, her gaze sharp as frost. "Looks like... I don't need to hold back anymore."
Ain and Binz stood on either side, their auras calm and steady, their robes fluttering slightly, like two swords yet to be drawn.
"...!"
Franky stared blankly at the five people who had suddenly appeared, his heart skipping a beat. "Navy? What do you want?!"
Luo didn't turn around, but said coldly, "Allies, we'll talk about that later."
Spandam, clutching his twisted wrist, scrambled to his feet, roaring with terror and humiliation, "You marines?! How dare you obstruct the World Government's affairs?! We are—"
"Whoosh!!"
Before he could finish speaking, Zoro had already dashed forward with Instant Step!
"Three-Sword Style: Oni Giri!!"
The wind howled like ghosts, and the fighting spirit surged!
"What?!!"
Kaku, standing next to Spandam, reacted swiftly, drawing his twin swords in a cross motion to parry!
"Clang--!"
A deafening metallic clang shook the entire abandoned shipyard, sparks flew everywhere, Kaku was forced back several meters, his feet leaving two marks on the ground!
"Hmph... you're quite strong."
Zoro grinned, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. "You're a swordsman too?"
Kaku forced himself to steady himself, narrowed his eyes, and said in a cold tone, "CP9 Kaku."
"Perfect timing, I love slashing those 'Two-Sword Style' guys!"
The blades flashed once more, and the two clashed again like two hurricanes!
--On the other side, Lucci, Kalifa, Blueno, and others also released their auras, looking warily at Law and his group.
Kuina slowly drew her sword, glanced at Lucci, and smirked. "If I were you, I'd be thinking about how to protect my comrades first."
Ain drew his cold, sharp blade, Binz was poised to strike.
Battle is about to break out!
