A short chapter before Thriller Bark!
Everyone gathered around Frisk.
"Wow, your's is high!" - Luffy
"It's even higher than Zoro's!" - Nami
(Sanji is still in shock at his bounty)
"What!?" - Chopper
"Wa-Wait! I can feel you… And I know you've got lots to say, but… Our request is regarding this. Look at this." - Zambia
* Among the bounty piles was also Franky, with the bounty of 44 million berries. Zambia explains how they don't want his big bro Franky to be in danger and how they want Luffy's help to take him out into the sea.

The next day, Usopp was back at the mansion with others packing up the remainder of the supplies.
"Let me just say that the new ship is beautiful!" - Usopp
"Wow! I can't wait! Have you checked out your bounty, by the way?' - Chopper
"Yeah! Sogeking! Sogeking! Finally, these Marines notice my might." - Usopp
"So cool! They just treated me as a pet…" - Chopper
"Don't worry, Chopper! I'm sure you'll get a higher bounty next time! How much longer are you going to stay depressed, Sanji? It's a pretty good bounty to get for the first time, you know." - Luffy
"SHUT UP! Why is my picture the only one hand-drawn!? Tell me, which part of this is me!?" - Sanji
"That picture looks just like you." - Zoro
"ACNJKVUSDFNWEIIFD" - Sanji
"I was tricked… He said he was a reporter from the town's magazine. I look cute in it, so I guess that's fine… But… Speaking of an impressive bounty… Frisk got one that's even higher than Zoro's" - Nami.
"Oh yeah, what's up with that?" - Usopp
"Fufufu… We can talk while we start heading there." - Robin
"Right! Let's go!" - Luffy
"Yeah!" - Everyone
* Everyone started walking towards the deck where the new ship was being built.
"So don't get me wrong, but why does Frisk have such a high bounty?" - Usopp.
* You tell Usopp that you met Aokiji at Water Seven a few days ago.
"YOU WHAT?!" - Everyone
* You say you ate ice cream with him.
"... Sometimes Frisk doesn't have any sense of basic instincts." - Nami
"(So Frisk also saw Aokiji…) - Robin's inner thoughts
"Well? What happened next?" - Chopper
* You tell them that Aokiji told you about having this ability called Conqueror's Haki and that it makes you dangerous.
"Conqueror's Haki? What's that?" - Usopp
"Probably what Frisk did at Enies Lobby. - Zoro
"Ah"
Everyone nods their head thinking about what happened, except for Luffy, who was too busy fighting Lucci.
"What? What?" - Luffy
* You tell Luffy that you'll show it to him one day when the opportunity arises.
"Nishishi! Okay!" - Luffy
* You all shorty arrive and see the shipwrights with Iceberg.
"Heeyy! We're here, Franky! Give us the ship!" - Luffy
"Welcome… Unfortunately, Frank's not around, but the ship is ready. Allow me to show you the ship instead." - Iceberg
"This ship is amazing. I was quite astonished when I saw the blueprints. It will be able to cross any sea." - Iceberg
"With this ship, you can even go to the end of the world. Franky also left you a message: Strawhat." - Iceberg
"Just show me already!" Said Luffy in anticipation
"If you will be the pirate king one day, then set sail with the King of Beasts!" - Iceberg
* Iceberg uncovered the sheet showing an enormous boat with a Lion's head. You mesmerize by the sheer amount of details that went into making this ship.
"Wuoohhh! It's huge! It's beyond amazing!" - Luffy
"Oooh, he's giving us this!?" - Chopper
"Ha… It's twice as big as Merry!" - Zoro
"It has a big gaff sail! Is it a sloop!?" - Nami
"Show me the kitchen! The kitchen!" - Sanji
"It's a fabulous ship…!" - Robin
* Everyone starts to go up the ship. You first see a lawned deck with some slides with plenty of floor space. Luffy and Chopper immediately begin rolling around the grass.
"It seems like we can do some gardening here." - Robin.
* You think about wanting to plant some buttercups.
"This ship looks like it's got great mobility! Look at that huge Gaff sail!" - Nami.
"It's called a Brigantine sail. A sloop can sail wherever you want it to. Whether or not it can make it, though, is all up to the navigator." - Iceberg
"Yup, the challenge excites me! I'll try my best!" - Nami.
* You see Sanji enjoying the kitchen, Zoro checking out the training room, and Chopper looking at his nurse room. Everyone seems to be happy. You check out the storage room. It's much more spacious than last time. You go to the aquarium where Usopp is.
"Check all this out, Frisk! Franky and I worked out this part together! Where is Franky, though?" - Usopp
* You nod, looking at the marvel Franky created. You and Usopp start to hear a commotion outside and start heading back up. As you get up, Nami covers your eyes.
"Don't look, Frisk! You're too young for this." - Nami.
* You want to comment about how Nami is only two years older but refrain. Robin grabs Franky's genitals from the context you hear from the others. Eventually, after some banter, Franky joins the crew with heartfelt goodbyes to his family. Sanji and Zoro come running back to the ship, talking about how Luffy's Grandpa is around the coast looking for them. As the boat sailed, you quickly see Garp throwing cannonballs toward the ship, barely missing each time.
"Let's get going!" - Usopp.
"Wait! We have to choose a ship name before we leave!" - Franky
"At a time like this?! Really?!" - Nami
"Yup, you can't sail off with a positive vibe unless the ship has a name." - Franky.
* Franky explains how Iceberg suggested naming it the Thousand Sunny after a ship that crosses thousands of cruel seas as a cheerful sun. The others are immediately on board with the name, and Franky's suggestion is quickly ignored.
"Alright! Take a good look at the beautiful water city while you can! You'll lose sight of it in a blink!" - Franky
"Really? Then… GRANDPA! AND COBY! WE'll be running away seriously now! Until we meet again!" - Luffy Shouted
* You see a gigantic iron ball from Garp's ship that is bigger than Sunny itself. He throws it like a baseball. As the ball is about to hit the Sunny, Sunny soars high into the air, with Water Seven becoming smaller and smaller by the second. A new ship, a new crewmate, a new adventure. It fills you with determination.
