Finally, everyone came to a conclusion.

This machine is very useful for Luffy and his crew, because there are occasional situations where Sanji doesn't want to cook for them.

Having this machine at this time is fantastic!

But if you're looking for both flavor and nutrition, then you'll have to get Sanji!

Oh, no! They eat pig swill, which has absolutely no nutritional value!

"The machine on the left is for making food, so what about the one on the right?" Robin asked curiously, pointing to the machine.

"This is where you wear the combat suits I made! There are several styles shown above, and these combat suits are quite interesting!" Franky said with a smile.

Then I walked to the screen on the right side of the machine and gently pressed a button next to it.

The next second, the machine made another sound, and then the screen slowly moved up, revealing the space inside the machine.

A small, futuristic room appeared before them. Numerous robotic arms were mounted on the ceiling, and the machine contained a screen, not much different from the one outside, just smaller.

Franky turned to the crowd and said with a smile, "Who wants to try out this machine?"

"Me! Me! Me!"

Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper shouted, but Usopp, lacking any sense of sportsmanship, ran straight into the machine, which infuriated Luffy and Chopper!

" Usopp, you cheated! You used this little trick when we weren't looking!" Luffy, somewhat indignantly.

"That's right, that's right, Usopp, you're so mean!" Chopper chimed in from the side.

"What do you mean by 'tricks'? You guys couldn't just run in yourselves, so why blame me? Besides, Luffy, you were the first to test the food-making machine, so why shouldn't I be the first to try it this time?"

Having said that, Usopp ignored Luffy and Chopper and turned to Franky, asking:

" Franky, how does this work?"

"Just click on the corresponding clothing image on the screen!"

"Okay!" Usopp nodded, then looked at the screen in front of him and, after browsing for a while, chose a white outfit.

The moment the finger touched the screen, the mechanical arms on the ceiling seemed to flip a switch, moving in unison towards Usopp.

After a series of crackling sounds, Usopp appeared before everyone, dressed in a white combat suit and jet-powered boots.

Usopp looked at his clothes with surprise, then lifted his foot to examine them from left to right.

" Usopp, how does it feel?" Luffy asked excitedly.

"It feels so comfortable! And although this outfit looks thick, it's actually quite cool!"

"Of course! This is clothing that can automatically adjust its internal temperature according to the external temperature conditions; it's high-end stuff!" Franky said proudly again.

Although he was able to build these machines largely because he consulted the manufacturing manuals left by Vegapunk, the manuals were not entirely complete.

He was able to create it largely because of his genius! That's why Franky feels a surge of pride every time Luffy and the others marvel at something he created!

To further shock everyone, Franky continued, " Usopp, come outside and press the button on your foot!"

"Button?"

Upon hearing Franky's words, Usopp curiously looked at his feet and, after observing for a while, noticed a very conspicuous blue button on his calf.

"Is this it?" Usopp asked curiously, pointing at it.

"Yes! That's right! This is a fun thing, but you have to come outside; you can't use it properly inside!" Franky said mysteriously.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, not only Usopp but everyone else became interested, with Luffy even urging, " Usopp, come out and show us!"

"Good!"

Usopp nodded, stepped outside the machine, and then gently pressed the blue button on his foot.

"Thud!"

A distinctive button clicked, and the next second, two streams of flame suddenly shot out from under the boot, propelling Usopp's body into the sky.

Ah~

Caught off guard, Usopp was startled by the propulsion from beneath his feet. Since it was his first time encountering such a thing and he was completely unfamiliar with its operation, he crashed into the ship's cabin after flying for a few seconds, his long nose being knocked back inside.

At the same time, Franky's voice rang out again.

"I've added fuel to these boots. Just press the button on your foot and you can fly like Usopp just now, so even those of us who can't fly can enjoy the fun of flying!"

"If used properly, it can even provide us with some assistance in battle!"

"Sri Lanka No. 1!"

Luffy was incredibly excited after hearing Franky's words, and immediately ran into the machine, shouting, "Me too! Me too!"

In the following time, everyone chose their favorite clothing styles and then tried out its flight function.

For a moment, everyone was immersed in the fun...

--

Half a day later~

The group gathered together and had a heated discussion.

They had spent the previous half day familiarizing themselves with the ship. Because the ship was so large, it would definitely take some time to understand it.

Now that everyone is familiar with the ship, only one crucial question remains: what should we name this ship?

"If you ask me, let's name it Great King White Tiger Usopp! Look how Haki that name is!" Usopp shouted.

"No way! What kind of trash name is that? And it even includes your own name! I'm the captain of this ship, you bastard!" Luffy immediately retorted. He continued, "..."

"I think it should be called the Sun Dumpling! Don't you think it's a perfect name!"

"No, no, no! Gold Lion sounds better, and it suits this ship perfectly!" Zoro chimed in.

"..."

Everyone expressed their opinions, and a lively argument ensued.

After a while~

"Stop!" Nami shouted, silencing everyone. She then said:

"This kind of discussion isn't going to work; nobody's satisfied! Besides, what we're discussing now isn't a discussion involving everyone!"

As soon as Nami said this, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Xia Chen, who hadn't participated in the Franky until now.

"Um?"

Xia Chen and Franky both tilted their heads.

"What are you two doing, shaking your heads like that? I'm talking to you! We're all in the same boat. It's just the eight of us discussing this. What do you two mean by not joining in?"

" Xia Chen, what are your thoughts?" Nami asked.

Xia Chen smiled and said, "If none of you can come up with a name, my naming skills are even worse. But I think we could ask the ship's builder about naming it!"

After that, everyone's attention turned to Franky.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you all staring at me like that?"

No one uttered a word! The atmosphere remained silent.

"Okay, actually I have an idea..."
