"Hey! What are you doing here! Don't you know this is the Franky Family?"
On the distant beach, a pirate ship slowly approached a house near the shore. Before the captain could say anything, a black cannon was already pointed at them from the top of the house.
"Let's talk this out. We're only here to ask where the entrance to Water 7 is."
When the captain saw the dark cannon barrel pointed at him, he broke out in a cold sweat.
However, when faced with the captain's question, the Franky Family members showed a mocking expression and didn't say much. The temperature inside the cannon hole suddenly rose, and a black cannonball made a whooshing sound, instantly punching a hole in the pirate ship in the distance.
"Whoever dares to lay a finger on the Franky Family, we underlings will never let them get away with it! Our boss is the true leader of this place!"
Looking at the silent ship in the distance, several underlings jumped into the sea to begin salvaging the treasures left behind on board.
The others were already used to this situation.
In this Water 7, harmonious scenes are commonplace, yet there are still things within it that cause considerable headaches.
And the team led by Franky, the guys known as the Franky Family, are even more of a headache.
As is well known, the most remarkable feature of the entire Water 7 is its shipbuilding technology, which even allows them to build ships for sailing at sea.
However, the shipbuilding technology of the Water 7 seemed utterly useless against these guys, who were like natural enemies of the Water 7.
The Galley-La Company is the best shipbuilding company in Water 7, while the Franky Family is the most destructive force in Water 7.
Once they get their hands on a ship, no matter how sturdy its structure, they can destroy it!
"Big Brother, I saw a guy go to the money exchange and buy a ton of Beli this morning. If we could rob him, your dream would finally come true! What do you say, Boss? Should I lead the rest of the group?"
Franky's henchman, who was originally in charge of the artillery, looked at the man in the seat with an excited expression on his face. For them, destruction seemed to have penetrated into their very bones.
But everyone understood that the man before them was the true source of their ability to live on this island.
The man in front of me looked strange; his tall stature was disproportionate to his short legs, yet he exuded an exceptionally powerful aura.
"Oh? Do I have to tell you about this good thing? Hurry up and rob that guy of all his money! There's a batch of goods being sold right now, and with these Beli, I should be able to get my hands on that stuff!"
After muttering these words to himself, the rest of Franky's underlings all showed excited expressions and then fell silent.
The entire Franky Family's fortress seemed to be launching a full-scale attack, rolling outwards.
Upon witnessing this scene, the man on the high seat, wearing only underwear and sunglasses, revealed an excited smile.
But a faint longing was revealed in the eyes behind those sunglasses.
"Brothers, I just saw that kid head northeast. Let's catch up with him by water! With this money, we can throw another party!"
Laughing loudly, the others wore excited expressions and ran forward.
The person wandering aimlessly in the northeast direction was, of course, Usopp.
Now, what he was recalling in his mind was exactly what Iceburg had said before.
In truth, Usopp knew in his heart that after spending this time with the ship, Usopp could clearly see that the bottom of the ship could no longer withstand any more storms.
Even with the power of the Lu Yu enhancing its descent from the Skypiea, the impact from the high altitude still caused irreversible damage to the ship's hull.
At the same time, Osop also understood that this ship was originally a gift from someone in the village, and it was already quite an achievement that it had gone through so many adventures.
"But... I'm not willing to accept this!"
After shouting loudly, which startled everyone around him, Usopp, who had been dejected, charged forward frantically.
"What are you guys hiding for? This kid seems to know we're following him. Let's grab him!"
Just then, Usopp suddenly heard shouts coming from all around him, and before he could react, a huge body collided with him.
The immense impact sent his body flying sideways, crashing into the wall and making him see stars.
"Hey kid, hand over all your money! Let me tell you, we won't feel any guilt taking the treasure carried by pirates like you!"
With a cruel smile, the fat Franky Family member picked up Usopp and shook him violently, the sound of gold coins falling from his body echoing in the surrounding space.
Seeing this scene, none of the other Water 7 members dared to step forward and make a move.
Although the Franky Family in front of them seemed very powerful and domineering, their targets were entirely pirate crews.
As for the ordinary residents, they have never seen them make a move, which can be considered a matter of course.
"This guy's run into the Franky Family; he's probably in deep trouble..."
While everyone else dared not interfere in the slightest, fearing they might be implicated, Usopp revealed a look of resentment on his face.
"Why should you take my money? I didn't steal or rob it, why should I give it to you? Who are you? This money is my life-saving money, get out of here!"
Seeing this scene, the fat man showed no pity whatsoever. Instead, he slammed Usopp's head hard against the ground.
"What are you talking about? Pirates are pirates. So what if we steal your money? Are you going to go to the World Government and complain? Hand it over!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Usopp's shirt was ripped apart, and a large bag of Beli fell out. The fat man caught it and threw it behind him, where it landed on top of the Franky Family's family.
"Haha, with this money, Boss Qian's dream can finally come true. Let's go, don't waste any more time talking to this kid."
