"Baka-burg... Why are you here with your lackeys?" Franky asked.

"Franky.. They are not.." Iceburg wanted to say something but was immediately hit on the neck by Caliifa. Seeing this Franky finally became serious. He had already expected that something was wrong when Iceburg showed up in front of everyone, now seeing him being treated like that, he knew that something was wrong.

"I don't care who you are. Since you have stepped in the Franky's house without permission, you need to be taught a lesson. Boys get them." Franky ordered. The Franky boys were already angry from before after being taken down by a woman, and now a bunch of foremen thought it would be okay to just walk in.

All of the Franky boys jumped on them, including the giants. The CP9 agents just looked at them as if they saw some dead guys walking. They took action, and it only took Califa and Blueno 5 minutes to bring everyone down. Kaku and Lucci didn't even bother to take action.

Franky was taken aback by this.

"You are no normal foreman." Franky said between his gritted teeth.

"And you are no normal thug, Cutty Flam." Lucci said. Those words were enough to make his worst nightmares come true. He was angry, and Franky didn't hesitate to attack because there was no way out. He was angry that his boys were hurt, but more angry that his past had been brought on by this bunch of nobodies.

He removed his hand skin, which revealed a metal arm attached with the help of a chain. He then threw his detached arm to hit Lucci, which he easily neutralized. Lucci then proceeded to personally take action. At first, he was surprised that his normal Shigan didn't have any effect as his abdomen was laden with metal plates, but that wasn't enough to provide safety to Franky.

He, too, was taken down at the end. Franky was bleeding from different parts of the body and bruised all over. It was a bloody scene, and he looked horrible. much more horrible than he looked in the original story.

Lucci was particularly angry at getting their cover blown. Later, when he came to know that it was the Straw Hats who had blown their cover, he was more angry. He felt humiliated by being completely blindsided by that idiot of a captain.

At least that was what he felt Luffy was when he first met him. But seeing that he had been duped, he wanted to vent his anger. And Franky was the prime candidate for that. After taking down Franky, Lucci took Franky on his shoulder while the pigeon sat at Franky's head.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

"Aqua Laguna will hit us soon. We need to get Nico Robin too." Lucci said. Since he had been fooled, it was imperative that he get back at them. He didn't care about the scary feeling that Blueno spoke of. He was much more powerful than Blueno anyway.

While all this was happening, Ken was able to hear everything from afar.

"Luffy. They will soon reach the train station, and they will be coming for us. Aqua Laguna is still a couple of hours away."

"Coming for us? Why don't we go for them instead?" Luffy said as he slowly got up while putting his hat on his head. He was dead serious now. Ken smiled as he was expecting that answer. He had been waiting for a good fight after what had happened on the previous island with Aokiji.

They felt vulnerable and understood that there was still a long way to go. Since the government had tried to hit them, it was time to hit back at them.

"Guys, one of our comrades is being hunted. You know what you have to do." Luffy said.

"Damn right."

"We will beat them out until they see stars."

"For Robin-chwan to get scared by these filthy men They need to be taught a lesson."

By that time, Nami was back too.

"Nami, is everything alright in Galley-la?" Ken asked after she was back.

"Yes, they thanked us. Paulie and others are a little hurt, but they are fine." Nami replied. It had already started raining, and the workers had brought water to douse the fire. She used the water to bend and put out the fire much faster. And also helped with rescuing the others.

"Good. We might get a discount on making the ship now." Ken said.

"That is the only reason I did. I negotiated with Paulie in secret. "We already get a 20% discount for rescuing them, and now we can get a 70% discount if we can rescue Iceburg." Nami said that was the only reason she had helped them in the beginning.

Meanwhile, the CP9 agents had already reached the train station. They put Iceburg and Franky on one of the coaches.

"Thank you for the hard work. Sir Spandam wasn't able to make the trip. He is expecting you all in the Enies Lobby."

"As expected of him. He is just a sexual harasser." -Califa

"Well, his body isn't even up to human strength standards." - Blueno.

"I am still waiting for the prize." Kaku said.

"He is scared of Aqua Laguna and the long journey." Blueno said.

"But he did send us." A man came down from the side coach and said: It was Kumadori and Fukrou. Spandam had sent support after he learned that the cover had blown. He wasn't that useless in the end. Kaku and others exchanged cold greetings with each other after seeing the CP9 agents.

"Where is Jabra?" Kaku asked.

"He had to go and poop. Chapapapa... Said his stomach was upset. Chapapapa.." - Fukrou.

"We need to go and get Nico Robin." Lucci didn't have other thoughts in mind, nor did he care that they had been sent support; he just wanted to complete his mission 100% instead of half-way.

"Why bother searching when we are already here?" A voice came from the top of the roof of the train station.
