Pluton Blueprints

Franky's Dismantling House.

"Hey, hey, kid, you've got quite the mouth. But I'm in a SUPER good mood today, so get out of here! Otherwise, I'll get mad too." Franky emerged from the house wearing nothing but black briefs, speaking with some disdain. Beside him stood a crowd of bizarre-looking underlings.

"Is this whole bunch made up of perverts? That's terrifying." Yake could barely stand to look at them anymore. It felt like he was having a heart attack.

"Hahaha, are you complimenting us? Your taste is unexpectedly SUPER good!" Far from being ashamed, Franky took pride in it, while his underlings all looked equally pleased with themselves.

"Sigh... Forget it. All of you, lie down." Yake rubbed his forehead with a sigh. Trying to communicate with these people was exhausting. He unleashed Conqueror's Haki, and aside from Franky, whom he had deliberately spared, every underling collapsed.

"Damn it, what did you do to my underlings?! Weapons Left!" Franky immediately flew into a rage and attacked Yake.

Yake steadily caught Franky's Exploding Iron Fist with one hand, then flung him backhandedly into the dismantling house.

Franky lay on the ground, gasping for breath. Where did this monster come from? Then Yake appeared before him.

"Pervert kid, I only came to make a copy of Pluton's blueprints. No need to get so worked up, right?" Yake planted his left foot on Franky's body, leaving him unable to move.

"Damn it, so you really are with the World Government? Don't even think about it. I SUPER won't give them to you." Franky refused firmly.

"I'm not with the World Government, kid." Yake removed his mask, revealing a face known throughout the world.

"That face... I feel like I've seen it somewhere... You... you're God Yake!!" Franky said in shock. This was the World Government's sworn enemy, a man with a bounty as high as two billion Beli. Having seen those eyes, Franky knew he was a man he could not take on.

"That makes things easier. I need the Pluton blueprints inside you as a force against the World Government. Other than you and me, no one else will know about this." Yake spoke at length, laying out his plan.

"Tch, so what? I'm not giving them to you. By the way, was it that bastard Iceburg who told you?" Franky still refused to hand the blueprints over to Yake.

"Sigh... Don't worry about how I found out. I have special intelligence sources." Yake shook his head, somewhat troubled.

"This is difficult. How about this? This is one of your underlings, right?" Yake raised a hand and used Banshō Ten'in to pull over an unidentified humanoid creature.

"I'll count to three. If you don't give them to me, he dies." Yake grabbed the underling by the neck and tightened his grip slightly.

Franky gritted his teeth and glared furiously at Yake, but his opponent was far too powerful, nowhere near someone he could contend with.

"Three... two... one... Sigh, what a stubborn pervert. Say goodbye to your underling!" Yake clenched his right fist, making as if to kill the perverted underling wearing black fishnet stockings.

"Wait, I'll give them to you." Franky let out a defeated breath and dejectedly agreed to Yake's request. Even his hairstyle drooped.

After hearing Franky agree, Yake did not release his grip. He merely looked at Franky without saying a word.

Franky understood what Yake meant. He opened up his body, took out a small stack of blueprints, and handed them to Yake.

Yake then released Franky's underling, took the blueprints, and examined them carefully.

The atmosphere turned chilly for a time. Franky did not dare say anything, afraid of offending this plague god.

After a long while, Yake put away the blueprints. "Not bad. They really are Pluton's blueprints. I thought you'd at least tamper with them somehow. Wait here. I'll be back shortly. Your underlings will be unconscious for an entire day, so don't worry." With that, Yake turned into an electric current and vanished.

Aboard the Eternal Truth.

"Robin, make a copy of these blueprints for me. Uh... I'd be most grateful!" After sensing Robin's location, Yake teleported directly to her side. To his surprise, Robin was bathing, and he caught a full glimpse of her.

"Captain, do you not understand even the most basic courtesy? Get out immediately." Law forced down her embarrassment and drove Yake out, and he hurriedly rushed through the door.

"I never expected the captain to have that kind of hobby. What did you need me for?" Law emerged from the bathroom after a while. Freshly bathed, she was even more radiant than before, and even Yake stared blankly at her.

"Cough, cough, well... it was an accident, an accident. Mainly, sorry for the trouble, but could you copy these blueprints?" Yake swallowed his drool, sat upright with a solemn expression, and handed the Pluton blueprints to Robin.

Law felt somewhat pleased at Yake's awkward state. It showed that she still had at least some appeal to her captain. She turned and began examining the blueprints Yake had handed her.

"Th-this is Pluton's blueprint! Where did you get it?" The more Robin looked, the more shocked she became. She had only recently deciphered the Poneglyphs, and he had found the blueprints so quickly? Could Yake truly possess some unknown secret?

"Haha, I have special sources of information, so you don't need to worry about that. Hurry and make a copy. Be careful not to make any mistakes." Yake laughed smugly without explaining himself to Robin. He could hardly tell her he had watched the anime.

Robin activated her ability and worked on multiple tasks at once. Before long, a brand-new copy of Pluton's blueprints was complete. Yake had been captivated by Robin; a woman focused on her work possessed a fatal allure for men as well.

"Captain, here. It's finished. What do you plan to do with the extra copy?" Law asked curiously, holding the two sets of blueprints.

"I'm returning the original to its owner. I'll be going now." Yake picked up the original Pluton blueprints and left.

Franky's Dismantling House.

After Yake left, Franky carefully checked on his underlings. Only after confirming that they were merely unconscious, just as Yake had said, did he relax. He sat in the boss's seat, lost in thought.

"Franky, sorry for the wait. This is the reward you deserve." Yake silently appeared beside Franky and handed him a large box.

"Ah! That was SUPER terrifying. What is this?" Franky jumped at Yake's sudden appearance and accepted the box with a confused expression.

"Three hundred million Beli, along with your blueprints. Keep them safe. The World Government will not allow them to remain outside its grasp. If you don't destroy them soon, they'll bring you endless trouble." Yake kindly warned Franky. As for whether he listened, that was not something Yake could decide.

"That's it, then. Until we meet again!" Seeing that Franky said nothing, Yake did not mind and turned to leave.

"Hey, what do you mean?"

"Haha, as long as we're still on these seas, we'll meet again someday, won't we?"

Yake dissolved into pale blue lightning.

That night, Yake was lying in bed resting when he suddenly remembered that he still had lottery draws left—about fourteen of them. He decided to try his luck.

He began a ten-draw pull.

"Draw complete. Congratulations, you have obtained 1 billion Beli total, five Beauty Pills, one indestructible robe, and Thank You for Your Patronage x6."

"Is that all? Sigh, I really want another Devil Fruit Enhancement Card. Still, the Beauty Pills are nice. They'll be perfect for Robin and Hancock." Yake had already taken one himself, and the effect was quite good. His looks had risen to another level.

After putting everything away, Yake gradually fell asleep.
