[Two days after the latest events]

PA: Now arriving at the Water Metropolis, Water Seven,
	Blue Station-- Blue Station.
	Please make sure you take all your belongings with you...

<<Ippon-Matsu: I don't care about the money!!!
	Just take it!!!

PA: Wait for the train to stop before...

Seagulls: (coo...)(coo...)

Zoro: This sucks...

People: Man...
	This year's Aqua Laguna
	was pretty much off the charts...
	I don't think we can repair this mess on our own...

 - Page 12 -

Pauly: Move it!!

Man: Huh?!  Who's that...
	Why, it's Pauly from the First Dock!!  What's he doing down HERE?!

Pauly: You people back off!!  You're only in the way!!!

People: Pauly-saaan!

Pauly: This sector will be your jurisdiction, Third Dock.

Workers: Got it!!

Pauly: The sector next to Shipwreck Shelf goes to Fifth Dock, starting with the houses.

Workers: Got it!!

Pauly: Now get to work!!

Workers: Let's go!!!

Pauly: Don't forget, you still have jobs to do!!  I want the backtown fully rebuilt between your regular work shifts in ONE MONTH!!!

Workers: ROGER!!!

People: SWEEET!!  I love having the Galley-la Company here!!!

[Ruins of the Franky House, Northern Shore]

Zambai: Huff... It's hard to rebuild.

Family: But easy to break down!!
	We'll be campin' under the stars tonight!
	Sodom, Gomorrah,
	you guys just rest up and regain your strength.

Bulls: (brr)(brrrr)

Family: According to that reindeer,
	even Gomorrah's eyesight will return, if he gets rest!!
	That's good.

[Shipwright Island, First Dock]

People: Let us meet the pirates!!
	You can't!!  They're not seeing anyone right now!!
	Let us apologize for calling them assassins!!
	C'mon, we can't give our thanks to the people who saved Iceburg-san's life?
	Water Seven Tribune, here!!  We need some words from the heroes who saved the mayor!!
	Just one picture, that's all I'm asking!
	I'll be his secretary in place of Califa-san!!

 - Page 14 -

Giants: Mrr!

People: Holy crap!!  Look how BUFF they are!!!'

Karsee: Is that all you need?

People: Thanks a bunch, guys!
	You giants are the best!!

Oimo: You need anything like this, just call on us!!

Usopp: ...haha.

Karsee: Hey Sniper King, is this really the place for you?

Oimo: As for us...
	With our chieftans still locked in battle,
	we can't go back to their island.
	So we'll make ourselves useful here, until we head back to Erbaf.
	If you wanna see Erbaf, we don't have a problem taking you along, wahaha!!

Usopp: ...I'm...

[Ruins of Galley-la Company Building and Iceburg's Residence]

Iceburg: So the plans
	have been burned...

[Temporary Office]

Iceburg: Better that it be this way...
	...now the government will have a bone to pick with you, too.

Tyrannosaurus: (squeak squeak)

Franky: I suppose...
	So what are those prints you're drawing up now?

Iceburg: The scale of this year's Aqua Laguna has no doubt left the townspeople shaken.
	They will be afraid the entire island will soon be battered beneath the waves...

Franky: So what's your plan?

Iceburg: I am going to have this entire island
	float on top of the water.

 - Page 16 -

Franky: You're gonna turn Water Seven...
	...into a boat...?!  Is that even possible?

Iceburg: We have seen the works of a great man,
	who puts the impossible into reach.
	Just be a man and pound it out.

Franky: ...heheh!  Yeah, that sounds like Tom-san...

Phone Snail: (prrrr!!)

Zambai: Hey!!  Is that you, Boss?!!
	Guess what just came in on the Sea Express!!
	The stuff we bought with the 200 million Berries!!

Franky: Aha!
	It's finally here!!!

[Temporary Office, Pirates' Room]
[With Kitchen, Bath & Toilet]

Cocoro: Ngagaga, I'm comin' in, folksh!!

Chimney: Here we come!

Gonbe: (meow)

Yokozuna: (Ribbit ribbit!!!)

Yokozuna: (RIBBIT)

Cocoro: Yokozuna!!  You shtay out there!!

Luffy: Cocoro-san.

Cocoro: I guesh yer all back awake now.

Yokozuna: (ribbit)

Cocoro: Took ya two whole days!  Mushta been mighty tired.
	And no wonder.
	Lookit that pirate king, there!  He'sh lookin' good!!

Sanji: Err... not quite.

Cocoro: Whaddaya mean?

Sanji: He hates missing meals while he's knocked out after a fight, see.

 - Page 18 -

Sanji: So he learned how to eat while he's sleeping.

Luffy: (numm numm)

Cocoro: YA MEEN HE'S SHLEEPIN' RIGHT NOW?!!

Chimney: Wow, that's really neat!

Gonbe: (meow)

Cocoro: Now that takesh talent.
	Yer Log Pose only haz another 2-3 daysh left!
	What'sh after that?

Nami: Even after the Log is full...
	We won't be leaving anywhere for a while.
	The 100 million Berries we'd need to buy a new ship...
	Our clothes... our things... even Bellemere-san's orange trees are gone...
	The Aqua Laguna took them all away... And now we're stranded...

Sanji: We left our stuff in the backtown inn.

Cocoro: Oh, sho THAT'SH what the vishitors out front are for...

Sanji: Visitors?

 - Page 19 -

Nami: MY ORANGE TREES!!!
	Thank goodness!!  I thought I'd never see you again!!

Men: Yeah, see, when we thought y'all were tryin' to kill Iceburg-san,
	we confiscated all your stuff
	for being pirated possessions, and all.  Sorry 'bout that.

Nami: Not at all!!  THANK you!!!

Chopper: We're baaack!!
	I looked at the Franky Family's injuries.
	And I NEVER let Robin out of my sight!!

Sanji: Excellent work, Chopper!!

Robin: Oh, you!  I told you I'm not going anywhere.

Nami: Look, you two!!  The orange trees are safe!
	And we got all of our money and things back!!
	Now we can continue the journey!!

Chopper: Wow, great!!!

 - Page 20 -

Franky: Yeow!!  Ya super?!  ...I see you're all...
	No, you're NOT all here!!  Aw, hell.

Crew: Franky!!

Franky: I got somethin' to tell ya!  Listen up!!!
	There's this island that's constantly at war...

Sanji: What's this?!  I didn't ask for a history lesson.

Franky: Just shut up and listen!!!
	The people on this island, they rain down bombs and cannonballs,
	the islanders die, the towns are ruined and charred...
	But an enormous tree stands tall and proud through it all.
	Nothing that happens can bring it down...
	So people build their towns around it... and form a country.
	There are only a handful of these trees around the world...
	The greatest trees in existence.
	The highly-treasured "Adam Tree."

 - Page 21 -

Chopper: So... there's these trees.  And...?

Franky: Very rarely, you can find pieces of one,
	being sold on the black market.
	I've always wanted to get my hands on some,
	but the 200 million price range put it well over my head.
	Until you guys showed up.
	Pirates carrying sacks of money...

Sanji: I hope the end of this story isn't "And I used your money to buy it, suckers"!!!

Franky: Wait, hang on!!  There's more!!
	Once, in the past... I had decided that I would never build a ship again.
	But there must be someone I've still got something to prove to,
	because I keep finding myself drawing up plans...
	All I want to do is use this treasured wood...
	To build the ship of my dreams,
	that can take you across any sea in the world!!!

 - Page 22 -

Franky: I've got the wood now!!  I've got the plans!
	And I'm going to make the ship!!
	My only question is,
	once it's finished,
	WILL YOU GUYS
	RIDE ON MY SHIP?!!!

Sanji: What...
	You're just going to give it to us?!

Chopper: Huh?
	Huh?

Franky: That's right.
	If I can get the people I like to ride in my ship,
	what more could I ask for?
	Besides, you basically funded the thing already.

 - Page 23 -

Franky: Take the only ship that ever sailed around the entire world, for example.
	Gold Roger's "Oro Jackson" was made of the same wood.
	This'll be one just like that.

Cocoro: You 'n' Tom-san... you're both the shame.
	Both craftshmen... ngagagaga...

Franky: That's right... and at this point,
	I can understand why Tom-san died with pride in his heart.

Crew: Man, you're just the nicest guy!!  We'll take it!!!  Thank you, Franky!!!
	Yeaaah, now we can go to the next island!!
	That's great!!  Luffy, wake up!!  We've got ourselves a ship!!!
	(ZZZZ)

Zoro: Huff.
	Huff.
	Dammit, I have to let them know!!
	And Luffy's dumb ass is still sleeping!!
	Huh?
	Where am I?

 - Page 24 -

People: Oh no!!  They're here to arrest the pirates!!
	Even though they were the ones who saved Iceburg-san's life!!!
	That ship belongs to Headquarters Vice Admiral Garp!!
	Garp?  You mean... THE Garp?!
	The one who chased down the Pirate King,
	time after time, in the era of Gold Roger?!  The legendary marine?!!
	What would such a man be doing here?!
	W... Wait a minute!!
	Sailors, sirs!!!  The only person in there is our president...!!

Garp: Shut your trap...!!

Door: (creaak...!!)

Marines: (march march march...)

Garp: There are pirates in there!!

People: N... No, there aren't!!
	Hey!!  You can't just-!!!

 - Page 25 -

People: Wait, don't!!  The Straw Hats are in-
	Don't TELL him!!

Garp: Wait here, you two.

Two: Yessir!!

Crew: Huh?!!
	What's that...?!!
	Who's there?!!

Garp: So you folks must be the Straw Hat Pirates.
	(fshhh...)

 - Page 26 -

Garp: I've got some boys here that are looking forward to meeting Monkey D. Luffy...

Franky: Marines...!!!

Luffy: (zzz)
	(zzzzz)

Garp: FOR GOD'S SAKE,
	WAKE UP, LUFFY!!!

Luffy: O?!
	OWWW!!!

Sanji: Oww?!
	What are you talking about?!  That was a punch!!
	Punches can't hurt rubber...

 - Page 27 -

Garp: But there is no defense
	for a fist full of love!!
	They're talkin' about all this trouble you're up to,
	Luffy!!
	(grin)

Luffy: Crap!!!
	G...
	Grandpa!!!!

Everyone: WHAT?!!
	GRANDPA?!!

D: Is it true that you shoot out a "Coup de Poo" when you eat potatoes?  by Modai
O: OH YES.  I DO.  Man, let me tell you.  I accidentally ate a potato last time, and one single
	"Coup de Poo" sent me flying to New York.  It was Coup de Pooman in New York.  Of course,
	I was able to get a potato to send me back home safely.

D: Odacchi!!  Out of the Six Forms, I want "Tekkai" most of all, but just how hard does it make
	you?  I mean, some places it's REALLY important to be HARD, you know what I mean?!
