One Piece Volume 45 : I Can Guess How You're Feeling Chapter 436 Pants From Franky House - Page 109 - Ener's Space Conquest, Vol. 7 "Lieutenant Junior Grade Spacey Regrets His Desertion Under Enemy Fire" - Page 110 - Zoro: Are you guys prepared to face the worst when we deal with Usopp?! This is just how it goes... Luffy: ...all right. Hey, what's with all the depression? That's a great starting bounty. Sanji: SHUT UP!!! Why is mine the only drawing?!! And how does this look like me?! HUH?!! Zoro: Looks like you to me... Speak with words. I can't understand you. Sanji: Ladies around the world... are laughing at me right now. Nami: He lied to me... I thought he was an in-town magazine reporter. Oh well, at least I look good in the picture. But now I have a bounty, too... Chopper: I'm a pirate too!!! I fought proudly and bravely like a man should!!! I object to the total of 50 Berries!! Luffy: Better luck next time! - Page 111 - Sisters: Hurry up! The boss is waiting! Chimney: Are you guys really leaving? Luffy: Don't forget anything!!! We're gonna leave as soon as we get the ship and Franky! Chopper: Sanji still won't move. Zoro: Leave the spiral-brow behind. Sanji: WHAAT?!! [Marine Headquarters] Marine: This is a most unusual case. Bounties for every member of a crew... No matter how small in number they are... Their collective bounties total over 600 million. Now, this "Black-Leg"... Why is there no photo of him? Attachan: Well, sir... I did indeed take a picture of him... But upon developing it, I found a surprise...!! This is the photo... As you can see... A very mysterious and ominous phenomenon... Marine: Did you take the cap... Off of your lens? - Page 112 - Sisters: Bosssss!! We brought 'em for ya!! Pauly: (Zzzz) Tileston: (GZZZZ) Lulu: (kohhhh) Yokozuna: (ribbbb) Sisters: BOSSSS!!! Iceburg: (zzz...) Hmm? ...they're here. Luffy: Hey!! There's somethin' big over there!! Chopper: Is that it?! - Page 113 - Luffy: Heeey! Here we are, Franky!! GIVE ME THE SHIP!!! Iceburg: My. Luffy: Ice-man! Iceburg: So you're here... Unfortunately, Franky's stepped out for a bit. But the ship is ready. I'll be the one to show it to you instead. It's a fabulous ship. I was wide-eyed when I saw the plans. It'll take you anywhere you want to go. This ship could take you to the ends of the earth if need be. Here's the message Franky wanted to give you, Straw Hat. Luffy: JUST SHOW IT TO ME ALREADY!!! Iceburg: "If you're gonna be the Pirate King one day," "You need a ship based on the King of the Beasts!!!" - Pages 114 & 115 - Luffy: WHOAAAAA!!! IT'S HUGE!!! AND AWESOME!!! It looks like it could pounce all over the place!!! Chopper: Whoaaaa, we're getting THIS?!! Zoro: Damn... It's twice the size of the Merry! Nami: What huge fore-and-aft sails!! It's a sloop?!! Sanji: Lemme see the kitchen!! Where's the kitchen?! Robin: What an impressive ship...! - Page 116 - Robin: What kind of flower is that on the prow? Iceburg: My, well I would assume that is a lion. Luffy: The inside is sweet, too!! (rush rush) A grass deck!!! Chopper: A slide!! Robin: Plenty of room for gardening. Nami: And that great big gaff sail should provide plenty of momentum!! Iceburg: It's called a "Brigantine Sloop." Sloops can be sailed in whatever direction you wish. Whether you sink or swim is up to the navigator's skills. Nami: Yes, this looks like a worthy challenge for me!! - Page 117 - Sanji: Finally, the locking refrigerator I've been dreaming of!! And an enormous oven!! Thank you Franky, this is the best ship ever!! Luffy: Hey, Ice-man. Where's Franky?! We wanna thank him!! Iceburg: I don't believe he wants to see you anymore. Are you going to ask him to be your shipwright, Straw Hat? Luffy: Yeah!! How'd you know?! He's the only shipwright for me!! Iceburg: I believe he sensed your desire. Luffy: So he doesn't want to...? Iceburg: Just the opposite. He doesn't have the confidence to turn down your offer, should you make it to his face... That is why he's hiding. My... The fact is, he DOES want to go to sea with you people!! It's plain as day, when you see this dream ship he's been sitting on for so many years, a ship he plans to give to YOU! Franky is falling in love with your group. But he feels that he has a "duty" to stay on this island for the rest of his life. - Page 118 - Luffy: Duty? Iceburg: If you ask me, it's a ridiculous fixation he has. If you really do feel like taking him with you, then make sure you do it, by force if necessary. It's the ONLY way to free him from his bonds. Luffy: By force? Are you sure about that?! [Ruins of Franky House, Backtown] Family: Boss! Why did you come back here? Franky: Huh? Do I need a reason? This is Franky House!! MY house. Family: ...but-!! Zambai: I'm going to be brutally honest, Boss...!!! Boss!! Don't you want to go with the Straw Hats?!! - Page 119 - Franky: The hell you talkin' about...?! No way in hell...!! Look at you guys... You can't even build a house for crap. Zambai: We just asked the Straw Hats for you!! We asked if they would take you with them!! Franky: Why don't you mind your own business, you fools?!! Zambai: But he's already decided!! You're his shipwright!! Franky: Why should I be a pirate? Zambai: Because it's obvious!!! This was the first time we ever saw you build a ship...!! But it was also the first time we ever saw you look so happy. We had no idea you could ever enjoy yourself so!! You know they're looking for a shipwright, don't you?! You came here to stay away from them, didn't you?! - Page 120 - Zambai: Look at this, Boss!!! Franky: A wanted poster-!! So it happened. Zambai: You can't stay with us anymore. We don't wanna be your shackles!! Franky: Don't gimme any of that crap!! Who cares about the Marines?! Who found you all in the backtown and put you back on your feet? That was me! You'd never survive if it wasn't for me... WHOAA?!! Family: I GOT HIS PANTS!!! Pants?! Why would you... oh!! Yeah, good one!!! Pass 'em here!! Keepaway!!! - Page 121 - Franky: ...GIVE BACK MY PANTS. Family: Eeeek!!! Franky: THAT'S MY SUNDAY BEST!!! Family: Scramble!! Go, people, go!!! Aaaaahhh!!! Franky: (dash!!) All right, fine!!! You guys are gettin' a little uppity, and I can see it's time I need to teach y'all a lesson!!!! Zambai: Just get them to Straw Hat, as long as ONE person makes it!!! Take the pants to Shipwreck Shelf!!! Franky: Strong Right!!! Family: Gyaaaa!!! Pass it, my brother!!! Run!!! To the southeast!!! - Page 122 - Crowd: What's going on...?!! What's that? Pervo on the loose...!! Franky's runnin' wild!! Not again!! He's gonna wreck the town!! HEY, WAIT A MINUTE... HE'S IN THE BUFF!!! Kyaaaa! Get the children inside!!! Don't let them see his naughty bits!!! Police: Now see here! You're under arrest for exposing an indecent article in public!! Family: Deliver the pants!!! - Page 123 - Family: Swing around with the Yagaras!! Got it!! Yagara: (nee nee!!) Family: Keep it passing!! The backtown's turning into a battlefield!! Shit!! My legs... ...I can't do it!! Hahh. This is the end...!!! Luffy: Hey, pass it here!!! Hurry!!! Family: Huh...? STRAW HAT?!!! Luffy: Run for it!!! Franky: ...Straw Haaaat!!! - Page 124 - Franky: You sonuva...!! Luffy: (dash!!) Franky: YOU LIKE THE SHIP?!! Luffy: ...YEAH!!! I never seen such an awesome ship before!! Thanks!!! Crowd: Pervosexual!! Begone scumbag!!! To the chopping block with thee!! Franky: ...you better believe it! You got my super plans to start with, Can: (clang!!) Franky: And I put in everything y'all requested!! Did you see the "Soldier Dock System" I invented?! Luffy: Not yet!! Franky: That's the sweetest plum!! Your eyes are gonna pop!!! You see the fishtank?! Luffy: I did!! - Page 125 - Franky: If you put the fish you catch in there, you can see them in the huge tank from the room below! It's like an aquarium!! You guys can eat meals in there!! And you'll have fresh fish whenever you want!! Lemme tell ya, it's a "dream boat," to you AND to me!!! NOW GIVE BACK MY PANTS!!! Luffy: Ack! Chopper!!! Chopper: (chomp) Got 'em!! Family: Go on, you two!! Zoro: We're on it. (tmp) Franky: Huh?! Sanji: (tmp) Franky: Whoa!! Zoro: Get in there! Family: Aim for Shipwreck Shelf!! Franky: What the hell do you lunks think you're doing?!! Family: Franky Family Specialty!! Fire the "Anything Cannon"!!! - Page 126 - Chopper: Huhhhh?! He's gonna get there before the pants!! Luffy: Grab on, Chopper!! Gomu Gomu Rocket!! Chopper: Aah! [Shipwreck Shelf] Crowd: Kyaaa! Look at that pervotron!! What is he doing?!! Sisters: B- Boss! Iceburg: My... What a sight... Franky: Graaah!!! Luffy: Franky!! - Page 127 - Luffy: Thanks for the ship!!! It's the best!!! We'll use it well!!! Franky: Yeah. I hope your journeys go safely. Luffy: NOW IF YOU WANT YOUR PANTS BACK, YOU GOTTA JOIN OUR CREW!!!! - Page 128 - SBS Corner D: Please us tell us his name. My husband and I keep calling him "Round Guy." For now. P.N. Patty O: Ummm... Tama... Tamagon. (Just made that up) D: Do all Devil Fruit have that swirly pattern on them? O: That's right. It's what distinguishes them from other fruit. Sometimes I wonder if Sanji himself is a Devil Fruit. D: In the Volume 4 SBS, you said that you read every single fanletter and postcard. Do you still do that, even now? by Koji O: Yes, of course I do. However, to be honest, there was a time when I couldn't read them all. At that point, I was easily getting one to two thousand letters or postcards a week. At the time, I had to select a few hundred out of all of those, but lately the volume of mail has come down to a manageable level (the letters from girls have really dropped off since I got married (LOL)). So now I am once again reading all 100% of them. Looking at it now, I've been getting these letters of support week after week for 10 years, which is truly a wonderful thing. Thank you. I am truly kept afloat by my readers. There's a room in our office where we store the mail, and my staff is getting worried that the floor is going to give out in there. - Chapter 436 End -
