Chapter 87: Arc 7: The Straw-Hat-Galley-La-Franky-Family Alliance Formed!


"I thought I'd die." both Luffy and Chimney chorused after they were pulled into the train compartment as the train sped along the railway; the Rocketman had burst out of the underground tunnel earlier on and the Franky Family had attached themselves to the back of the train.

"Well, obviously!" Grandma Kokoro chided. "I told you, didn't I? I said you'd get blown away."

"Anyway, that acceleration sure was crazy." Luffy noted.

"Yeah, really, that scared me." Tilestone agreed.

"I hit my lower back." Lulu added.

"Hold on a sec..." Zoro voiced. "There are weird guys in here."

"Why are they here?" Usopp exclaimed.

"I decided to go with you guys." Paulie declared. "No matter how hard I tried to stop you, you didn't stop. The enemy you'd go this far to rescue your friend from is also the culprit who tried to killed Iceburg-san. In addition, there are a lot of things I want to say to them."

"And of course, the foes you're gonna take revenge on took Franky-aniki as well." Zambai added.

"And we clearly know who they are." Kiwi remarked.

"All right, I ate a lot!" Luffy swallowed his last bite of meat.

"Finally full?" Sasha looked at her brother. "I told you Gear Second uses a lot of stamina."

"Well then," Luffy stood up. "Although we got in fights back in town with the Franky Family and the Galley-La shipwrights, we're all going after the same enemy now. The strongest one among the guys we're gonna fight is that pigeon guy. He's mine. I'm definitely going to beat him up."

"This is a battle to get back what those three took from us." Zoro agreed. "In any case, if we don't reach them, nothing will end."

"Grandma, it's the Aqua Laguna!" Chimney peered out through the window.

"Chimney, let me take a look." Nami pushed the window up. "This is bad!" her eyes widened in horror at the size of the wave. "Kokoro-san, is it okay for you to leave the engine room at a time like this? We somehow need to dodge that high wave."

"I told you, didn't I?" Grandma Kokoro laughed. "That we can't control Rocketman. Even if we want to operate it, nothing works, even the brake. My job ended when the train got on the railway. Hence, the train is always running at full throttle. No one can stop it anymore."

"When we have the same goal," Luffy reached out his arm. "It's senseless to fight separately."

"Yeah." Zambai nodded.

"You're right." Paulie agreed.

"Listen, we're comrades." Luffy reminded. "Our friends are also in the train that left before us. Our fighting force will still increase. Don't let that big wave defeat us! We'll all achieve our goals!"
