Franky usually had the guys at Galley-La to help him build ships after he drew up the plans, but at this point he would have to get Brook, the mute guy, and the tentacle dude to help him with the construction. He was right about having too many ideas for ships, because as soon as he picked up a pencil and some map paper, he couldn't decide where to start. He didn't need to make it flashy, but it did need to function right. So, they needed a Galleon. Fast enough to escape, yet sturdy enough to take a beating and give one out too. He could wait for the cannons, ask them if they even wanted any. First and foremost, he had to start the blueprint.
Mist had gotten more of the Mana Dials as Brook had requested, bringing them back and placing them on a workbench, along with all the other dials and some tools. There were also four guns on the table: Two Linebaugh .500 Pistols, a Benelli M4 Shotgun, an AK-12 Assault Rifle. Mist had went into the nearby town and gotten these with some monetary help from Brook.
"Now, I want you to take apart each gun and rebuild it with Mana Dials. You can use Franky's blowtorch to connect the pieces. If you need to, you can break the mana dials. The inside components can remain the same, as long as you use a breeze dial at the base of the barrel, and the elemental dials as the rest of the length. Have fun."
And with that, Brook left Mist to his work.
Giru remained in meditation, trying to get a better handle on his tentacles. Since these were his main form of defense and attack, he needed to be able to use them as proficiently as Akuma could. So far, he could slowly wave them around and move them a bit, but learning to use a completely new body part was harder than it sounded, and it sounded pretty hard. He would have to meditate for quite a while...
Brook looked up into the clouds longingly. He and Franky could defend themselves and their ship easily, and two extra bodies to protect weren't that much of a problem. It felt good to guide fresh pirates on their way, of course, but there was always the occasional hotshot that came by thinking he could claim Brook or Franky's bounty, or even get their hands on the Thousand Sunny. Each time, they'd leave in both disappointment and pain. Except that one kid that wanted to be a pirate. He kept coming by asking to see the Sunny, but nobody got that privilege. He was an innocent kid with a big smile, but no chances would be taken with that. Every time he came by, he never attacked or threatened, he just asked like a child asking for candy. He wanted to be a pirate so badly. It was written all over his face- "Aha!" Brook exclaimed, going towards the very town that Luffy had first encountered Bellamy. That's where the boy lived. Arata Seka, and his elder sister, Ayumi Seka. A shipwright and a medic. How fortunate for... Giru. Honestly, getting the kid out of his hair was the main objective.
