A/N: The bounties are announced... I won't go into details about how much thought when into them,... but I hope you'll like them...

Chapter 270: New Ship and New Bounties

It was morning at the Galley-La building, everyone was eating breakfast. However they got the news that Franky Family well… wasn't in the news… at all. It didn't' mention them one bit.

"Did your grandfather pull some strings?" asked Sanji.

"I don't' think grandpa can do compacted things like that." Said Luffy.

Which is a fact everyone agreed on…

"It's a good thing they weren't mentioned, even if they are ship dismantlers and bounty hunters it's something they don't deserve." Said Hinata.

"A week ago I didn't even think we would be having this conversation." Said Kiba.

"It was one hell of a week." Said Naruto.

"Well either we're the ones who are pirates." Said Sanji.

"They're talking a lot of trash about us. They're claiming we started war on the government." Said Zoro.

"I thought we did." Said Ino with a sweat drop.

"At least Luffy did." Mumbled Sakura.

"Also they're putting the blame for desorbing the island." Said Zoro.

"Oh yeah, wasn't it that idiot's fault?" asked Sasuke.

"He mistook the Gold Snail Phone for a baby Snail Phone." Mumbled Robin.

Everyone sweat dropped.

"What does it say about the CP9?" asked Nami.

"Nothing…" said Zoro, "Nothing about Kalifa either."

"You'd think that she would be a target." Said Sakura.

"Either way." Said Zoro, "I think our bounties are going to go up."

"Oh wow! Does that mean I'll get a bounty?" asked Chopper.

"I'm sure I'll get one since I'm a rising star." Said Sanji.

"This isn't something to happy about you morons!" yelled Nami.

Sometime later… Luffy, Naruto and Hinata finally got the news about the new ship.

"What Franky is building us a new ship!" said Luffy happily.

"All right! That is awesome!" cheered Naruto.

"I'll take my time to go shopping." Said Nami, "Hey! Luff where's the 200 million?"

"Oh sorry." Said Luffy, "I spent half of it on our party!"

"What!" yelled everyone.

"Well pretty much the enter town showed up." Said Isaribi.

Of course they beat up Luffy.

Thankfully they still had a 100 million.

"All right!" said Nami, "I'm going to use it buy expensive furniture!"

"No… opt for the whole ship…" said Sakura, "You'll be wasting money!"

"What do you mean?" asked Nami.

Sakura jabbed her thumb at the guys.

"Oh… right." Said Nami with a sweat drop.

"But we can always get some furniture for our room." Said Hinata.

"Yeah." Said Nami.

And so they all went shopping the girls went to choose furniture for their upcoming new room.

While the guys did other kinds of shopping, Zoro tried to buy a new sword but didn't have enough funds. Luffy, Naruto and Chopper all went together and had some local food. Sanji went food shopping and dragged Kiba, Sasuke and Gaara to come along.

Before they headed back to the Galley La building they found Usopp prating various conversations on re-joining the crew.

"Does he really think the conversation will go that way?" muttered Sasuke.

"Knowing him yeah…" sighed Kiba.

"Let' just go back." Sighed Sanji.

The next day, name checked the Log Pose, it had set but stingily it was pointing downwards.

"What does it mean?" asked Nami.

"It only means one things." Said Kokoro, "That you are headed to the under water paradise of Fishman Island."

"What! Really Fishman Island?" asked Sanji.

He began to celebrate.

"You know what I'm just going to call Fishman Island the Fire Works Factory." Said Kyubi.

"Why?" thought Naruto.

"Trust me, it's funny." Said Kyubi.

"Fishman Island?" asked Nami.

"Even if I did beat up Kisame, I don't think I'm ready to go there…" said Sakura.

"Don't worry, I'm sure most of them won't be like Arlong." Said Sasuke.

"You're probably right." Said Sakura.

Sasuke stared at Sakura still surprised by that reaction.

Sanji was still in full on love cook mode talking about Mermaids when he looked at Kokoro and had a freak out.

"A man can still dream!" yelled Sanji hitting the floor.

There are young ones there! Relax!" yelled Kokoro.

That was when someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!" called out Luffy.

It was "Aries".

"I wanted to come and say good bye." Said "Aries".

"Really?" asked Luffy, "I was thinking of asking to come and join my crew."

"I can't… there are people who I care about. "said "Aries", "Knowing the idiom he probably shifted all of the blame on them…"

"Well good luck finding them." Said Luffy.

"I have a hunch where they ended up if they made it out there safely." Said "Aries".

"By the way have you talked to Iceberg." Said Kokoro.

"It's best if I don't." said "Aries", "I was among the ones trying to kill them. It's best if I just disappear without a trace."

"I hope we see each other again." Said Luffy.

"Who knows…" sighed "Aries".

"But what if they do lump you in with us…" said Zoro.

"Aries" sweat dropped.

"You didn't think of that, did you?" asked Nami.

"Well to get your minds of that, there something you should know." Said Kokoro.

"What about it?" asked Nami.

"If you want to know it's not easy getting to Fishman Island." Said Kokoro.

"It's underwater, isn't it?" asked Robin.

"Now that's not the problem." Responded Kokoro, "You have to go through the Florian Triangle."

"What's so bad about that?" asked Naruto.

Kyubi began to laugh hysterically, making Naruto sweat drop.

"What's wrong?" asked Kiba.

"He's laughing…" mumbled Naruto.

Kokoro put down a newspaper on the table, it was about stuff going down in the Florian Triangle. Apparently many ships disappeared quite recently.

"14 Ships disappeared what does it mean?" asked Nami.

"Every year, over 100 ships disappear in that ocean. And when they returns no one is aboard." Said Kokoro, "And there are plenty eyewitness reports of ships crewed by the dead."

"Oh wow does that mean we'll meet a living skeleton?" asked Luffy.

"Where did you even get that idea?" asked Zoro.

Nami and Chopper were freaking out and Kokoro telling them more about the sea didn't help.

"You know…" said Robin, "When percent ships or pirates become ghost ships they're often called treasure ships due to their amazing wealth."

"All right! Let's go after their ghosts ships." Said Nami.

"All right! Let's go!" cheered Luffy.

"Stop laughing! It's not funny!" yelled Naruto.

"Should I be glad I'm not joining you guys?" asked "Aries".

"Eh… it's a mixed bag." Said Isaribi.

That was when the Square Sisters showed up with Chimney.

"What do you want?" asked Luffy.

"Big bro wanted d us to tell you that the ship is ready!" said Mozu (the one wearing goggles).

"He said his ship of dreams is complete!" said Kiwi (the one with the slightly frizzy hair).

"And I saw it looks great!" cheered Chimney.

"That was fast!" said Luffy.

"Five first rate shipwrights worked through the night." said Kiwi.

"All right!" cheered Naruto.

"Let's go check it out!" said Hinata.

"STRAW HATS!" came a yell.

They got out of the building to find the rest of the Franky family running towards them.

"What's going on?" asked Luffy.

"We're here to ask you for a favor." Said Zambai, "Did you see the wanted posters?"

"What wanted posters?" asked Luffy.

"You all got a large bounty increase… all of you." Said Zambai.

"I guess having none before means an increase." Said Ino.

"True." Said Kiba.

"Straw Hat" Luffy now a bounty of 300 Million.

"Shadow Fox" Naruto now had a bounty of 270 million

"Pirate Hunter" Zoro now had a bounty of 120 million

"Gentle Princess" Hinata had a bounty of 110 million

"Demon Child" Robin now had a bounty of 80 Million (with a new a new picture).

The new bounties were:

"Cat Burglar" Nami: 15 Million

Gaara "Of the sand": 95 Million

"Chidori Master" Sasuke: 80 Million

"Monster Cherry Blossom" Sakura: 75 Million

"Body Snatcher" Ino: 22 Million

"Human Fish" Isaribi: 65 Million

"Black Leg" Sanji: 77 Million (Also there was a crappy composite instead of a photo)

"Beat Master" Kiba: 18 Million

"King of the Snipers" Sogeking: 30 Million

"Cotton Candy Lover" Chopper: 50 (The government thought he was their pet)

And finally "Clone Dog" Akamaru: 100 (he had a 50 berries more than Chopper as he was an animal used for clone attacks).

"How did Ino get more than me!" yelled Kiba.

"That's what I want to know…" mumbled Ino.

"Why do I have to be in the top tier…" cried Sakura.

"It must be because you used marines as weapons." Said Isaribi.

"I can't belie Hinata's was raised over 100." Said Naruto, "I would have thought they would have realized she probably doesn't want to use the information…"

"Yeah…" sighed Hinata.

"Maybe out of spite… they probably wanted her but they couldn't get her." Said Kyubi.

"What I want to know is how they know I can use the Chidori…" said Sasuke.

"Well there isn't one for me… so this is where I part ways." Said "Aires" , "Good luck on journey… you're going to need."

"HEY!" yelled Nami who then started crying.

As did Chopper and Sanji over their bounty and picture.

"You have my sympathy, really but there's something else we want to talk about… The favor we want to ask you…" explained Zambai.

That was when he showed them another wanted poster…

"Cyborg" Franky: 44 Million Berries.

"He got a bounty!" yelled Naruto.

"That's right… we were lucky to get out of it, but Big Bro wasn't so lucky. If he stays here in Water 7 his life will be in danger. If he gets caught again we won't be able to recue him. He'll probably be worried about us so he'll stay on the island."

Zambai began to tear up.

"That's why we talked about it amongst ourselves, Straw Hats Please! Take big bro with you." Said Zambai.

They all agreed to do it and began to pack up as they did they also talked about Usopp and agreed the same thing.

It should also be noted Sanji was still pissed off about the poster.

"Why are so angry. That's a really high bounty for a first time." Said Luffy.

"Why am I the only one with a drawing!" yelled Sanji, "How is this supposed to be me!"

"It does look like you." Said Zoro.

Sanji's response wasn't even words…

"I'm a pirate too! Why is my bounty lower than Akamaru's!" cried Chopper.

Akamaru barked.

"What's that supposed to mean!" yelled Chopper.

They all began to leave with Chopper and Sakura carrying the furniture they bought for the girl's room.

They all went to the where the ship was being built. It was under a large tarp.

"Oh Ice Guy… what are you doing here?" asked Luffy, "And where's Franky."

"Oh you're here." Said Iceberg, "Unfortunately Franky isn't here, but I'll you in his place."

Iceberg said some stuff about the ship and as he was unveiling it he said something Franky told him, "If you want to be king of the pirates then your ship should be king of the beats."

With that he unveiled the ship, it was twice as big as the going Merry, with many decks as well as trees (beyond Nami's). The figurehead was that of an adorable lion.

The crew was astonished and happy.

"Oh wow! Look it might jump out at you." Said Luffy.

"It so awesome!" cheered Naruto.

"Is it really for us." Said Chopper.

"Nice, it's twice as big as Merry." Said Zoro.

"It might actually be enough to survive us." Said Sasuke.

"I cant' be believe it." Said Hinata.

"It's actually kind of cute." Said Ino.

"The sail is so big? Is it a sloop?" asked Nami.

"I hope the rooms are big enough for us." Said Isaribi.

"I think they might be." Said Gaara.

"The Galley! I want to see the Galley!" said Sanji.

"Seriously? With that figure head?" asked Kiba.

"It's perfect." Said Sakura.

"It looks like we can garden there." Said Robin.

"Is the figure head a sunflower?" asked Luffy.

"No it's a lion." Said Iceberg.

They all got on deck to find it was grass covered.

"Yay! Grass!" said Luffy rolling around on.

"There's even a slide!" said Chopper sliding down said slide.

"There's also a swing." Said Hinata going on the swing, "Push me Naruto!"

"Okay!" said Naruto.

"You know Kiba… you're portably going to be charge of taking care of the lawn." Said Sakura.

"What… why!" yelled Kiba.

Akamaru sighed knowing the reason.

From the galley they heard Sanji cheering that the fridge had a lock,

Yes that was a big deal.

Meanwhile Nami got the information how to steer it.

Luffy had got into a conversation with Iceberg about Franky, Iceberg suggested that they should force Franky to join.

Kyubi suddenly shuddered. A shudder that passed to Naruto. That's how bad it was.

"What's wrong?" asked Naruto.

"I sense something… something, deeply, very wrong is going to happen." Said Kyubi.

At the new Family's newly built house, the Franky Family tried to get Franky to join them but it was failing…

So they tackled him and took his speedo…

And so the chaise to get his speedo back began.

May god help the Souls of Water 7...

Next Time: Franky is only wearing a Hawaiian Shirt... dear god... And still that isn't the worst thing to happen to him that day. How can it get worse? Find out next time!
