【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 362 Franky Goes on Board

"You gave up your favorite shipbuilding industry and suppressed your own nature. Are you going to live like this for the rest of your life?" Aspagu said calmly, "Mr. Tom has forgiven you, and I have forgiven you too. Let the past be the past, and you should forgive yourself too, Franky!"

"You should live for your dreams!!" Aspago looked at Franky and said very seriously, just like when they were children, this was an advice from a senior brother to a junior brother.

"It hurts so much, it hurts so much!!" Franky shouted with tears streaming down his face. It was hard to tell whether the tears were caused by physical pain or tears of emotion. Looking at the luggage packed for him by his younger brothers and listening to their gratitude to him, he really could hardly hold back his tears.

"Brother, I know we're stupid, but you're the benefactor who gave us a new life! Can't we consider your happiness for a moment?!"

"Wow!! It hurts so much, Nico Robin, I won't let you go!!" Franky screamed in pain, his face full of tears.

"Hey, Robin, please show some mercy, or he'll become a cripple!" Luffy covered his head in horror after hearing Franky's screams. This was even more miserable than the first scream!

"He's crying!" Chopper said in horror.

"Robin didn't do anything." Qi reminded with a smile, "That guy is using this as an excuse to have a good cry."

"Ah? You didn't do anything?" Hearing Qi's words, Luffy turned to look at Robin in confusion.

"I just started to come!" Robin said with a smile, "This guy is so cunning, pretending to be in pain to hide his tears."

When Franky and his brothers were expressing their love to each other, Zoro and Sanji rushed over and interrupted it all.

"Oh no, Luffy, your grandpa is back again!!"

"Huh!? Why? Didn't he say he wouldn't catch them anymore?!" Luffy shouted in shock as he looked at Sanji and Zoro.

"How would we know? Let's get ready to go!" Zoro and Sanji said as they ran towards the ship.

As he passed by Franky, Sanji shouted in shock, "Franky, why aren't you wearing your pants yet!?"

"Here you go!" Luffy threw the pants in his hand to Franky, grinned and invited him seriously, "Come on board, Franky! Get on my ship!!"

"Hehehe..." Franky touched his nose and grinned at Luffy standing on the railing. "I'm really at a loss! I'm here to help you! Franky accepts your invitation to be your shipwright!!"

"Great!!" Luffy and Chopper jumped up and cheered.

"Set sail!!" Luffy shouted after Franky got on the boat.

Zoro and Sanji immediately went to raise the anchor and hoist the sails. The Franky family said goodbye to Franky behind them, and Franky silently said goodbye to everyone in his heart while getting on the ship.

Now that Franky is on board, there is one more thing left. Thinking of what everyone discussed that day, Qi sighed and hoped that Usopp would wake up soon.

……

"Vice Admiral Garp! We've spotted the Straw Hat Pirates on the southeast coast. They're on the Hulk Island and seem to be getting ready to depart!"

"Set off immediately, everyone get on board!!" Cap shouted angrily.

"Vice Admiral Garp, we just said goodbye to Luffy and the others, and now we're going to fight... This is too embarrassing!" Coby said helplessly.

"If you have any problems, go talk to Zhan Guo! If he hadn't scolded me and forced me to come back, would I have turned around and come back!?" Garp shouted in dissatisfaction. He was already on his way to find his grandson, damn it!

"Isn't it because you said in Den Den Mushi that he is my grandson?" Aokiji complained while lying in the rocking chair.

"No need for you to talk too much, you young fool! Stay away!" Karp shouted dissatisfiedly.

……

"Hey, Luffy!" Nami looked at Luffy and shouted worriedly.

"Luffy!" Chopper also looked at Luffy with tears in his eyes.

"Are you serious, Straw Hat Boy! Aren't you going to wait for that person anymore?" Franky asked reluctantly.

"I've been waiting for him. After hearing what Sanji said, I stayed in Carrera's house waiting for him, but he didn't come!" Luffy said with a smile, but sweat kept coming out of his face.

Looking at Luffy's forced smile, Qi gently tapped the edge of the straw hat on Luffy's head, and the straw hat fell temporarily, covering his depressed face.

Just then, Garp's voice came from the warship on the other side.

"Hey, hey, can you hear me? Luffy, I'm grandpa! I'm grandpa!!"

"Hey, grandpa, what are you doing? Didn't you say you wouldn't catch us here?" Luffy immediately came to his senses and shouted at Garp in dissatisfaction.

"There was a little accident, you guys should just feed the fish here!!"

"Just to apologize, I'll just let me deal with you alone!!"

"What? What does he want to do!?" Sanji looked in shock as Grandpa Luffy raised the cannonball and threw it at him.

"boom!!"

Looking at the ruins of the wrecked ship island that was hit by the cannonball, Sanji was so shocked that he couldn't speak clearly, "Fire...fire the cannon with your bare hands!!"

"It's more powerful than a cannon, and this isn't baseball!!" Zoro said gritting his teeth as he drew his knife.

"There's no other way, we have to run away!" Nami shouted anxiously. "The new ship will be blown to ashes!"

"Oh no! There are so many!" Franky shouted in shock as he looked at the countless shells flying in the air.

"Damn it, that guy is really not coming?" Sanji gritted his teeth and kicked the cannonball away while looking at the wreckage island behind him.

"Here he comes, Usopp is here!!" Chopper shouted excitedly as he looked at Usopp on the bridge.

Usopp looked at the boat that had already left the shore in panic and rushed down the stairs. "Hey, what are you doing?! I haven't even gone up yet! I'm still here!!"

"What's wrong? Haven't we been fighting together since the fight? I'm the Sniper King!" Usopp shouted in panic, ignoring the broken stairs, and jumped down, running towards everyone. "Did you give up just because I disappeared? Hey! Don't worry, I'm back!!"

“Asshole! Stop now!!” Usopp ran desperately, thinking of all the excuses he had prepared, and shouted in confusion while running, “Hey! Cheer up! It’s me... Chopper, the weather is really nice today, let’s go fishing! Ah, haha, now is not the time to talk about this!”

"Oh, I have good news. I can be your captain when I come back! How about it? Hey! Hey! Luffy, friends!"

Usopp kept running towards the shore. He couldn't, couldn't lose them. "No one will believe it! It was just a joke back then!? We've been together for so long! How can you take something like that seriously? Even though we had a fight, we're still friends! Let bygones be bygones! What do you think? Please! Answer me now!"

"Don't be angry! You guys!!" Usopp bit his lip and looked at the ship that continued to sail forward in despair. "Don't be ridiculous, do you really not want me anymore!?"

Looking at the ship getting farther and farther away, Usopp knelt on the ground in despair. Thinking of what he said to Luffy, his breathing began to become rapid. They were right not to want him after he said those words to the captain.
