Crowd: Put your pants on!
	Freak!!
	You ruined our town again!!
	Get outta here, pervosaur!!

Franky: Give me back my pants,
	Straw Hat!!

Luffy: Only if you join my crew!!!

Franky: You're kidding... You can't get me to join your crew just by stealing my pants!!

Tyrannosaurus: (squeak squeak)

Tileston: HM?

Man is a lion
Standing proud before the waves
In his birthday suit

Shirt: (flap... flap...)

Crowd: EEEEEK!!
	He struck a pose while naked from the waist down!!!
	What a horrible man!!  What a horrible, horrible man!!!

Luffy: Damn...!!  I didn't think he was THAT strong-minded!
	HE'S A MAN AMONG MEN!!!

Nami: No, he's just one hell of a freak!!

Robin: If you don't mind some rough handling,
	I can help out a bit.

 - Page 132 -

Robin: "Dos"
	"Fleur" (Two Flowers)

Franky: Huh??

Hands: (fwuff...)

Cocoro: Mm?

Lulu: Oh...!!

Robin: "Grasp"
	(squeeze)(squeeze)

Franky: HODYAAAAAA!!!!
	(pinch!!!)(pinch!!!)
	AAAaaaaa!

 - Page 133 -

Nami: Whaaaat?!!
	Robin, no!!!

Luffy: SHE SQUEEZED HIM!!!

Chopper: You're gonna crush 'em, Robin!!!
	Yeowwww!

Franky: AaAaAaA!!!

Sisters: You'll pull them right off!!!
	You're gonna twist them off!!!
	Just like oranges!!

Luffy: No, Robin!  I want him to be a MAN when he joins!!!
	Don't take 'em off!!!

Chopper: Just watching hurts!!

Crowd: What's going on?!  Franky's takin' some damage!!
	What's with that horrible screech?!  It sounds like a chicken being strangled!!
	I feel kind of sorry for him!!
	He's still a freak, though!!

 - Page 134 -

Robin: When you're speaking with pirates that are face-to-face with their "treasure,"
	And you want them not to take it,
	you'd better have a very convincing reason.

Franky: Uwaaaagh!!
	Buh...
	...because I want to stay HERE!!
	L... Look, I... really owe you guys...!!
	More than I could ever repay...!!!
	I WANT to go with you...
	But there are things I still have to do here!!!
	That's why I gave you the ship!!!
	Besides, I already quit being a shipwright!!
	So this is the last ship I'll ever build in my life!!
	This was my final fulfillment...
	The ship of my dreams!!!

Luffy: (ouch ouch)

Chopper: (ouch ouch)

 - Page 135 -

Iceburg: Wait, Franky.
	This isn't quite the "ship of dreams" you spoke of, yet.

<<Iceburg: Ship of dreams?

<<Franky: Yeah!  You can't finish it up just by following the plans!!!
	You gotta set sail, and cross the seas,
	overcome battles and dangers...
	And once you've arrived "beyond the sea"...
	THEN... you call it the ship of dreams!!
	And once it's been turned into the best ship ever,
	THEN I'll ride in it as the shipwright.
	And by the time that fateful day arrives,
	the ship will be torn and tattered...
	But it will give off a light that's greater than any other ship!!!

 - Page 136 -

<<Franky: How's that?!  Pretty cool, huh Tom-san!

<<Tom: You bet!  And if you get some awesome sailors to board it... I'll have lost!
	Ta ha!!...!!...!!

<<Cocoro: Must be that pirate blood.

<<Iceburg: You'll never be better than Tom-san, Dumbky!

<<Franky: Whaaaat?!!

<<Yokozuna: (ribbit!! ribbit!!)

<<Tom: Ta ha!!...!!...!!  Well, a man pounds out his work!!!

Franky: I only changed what I want to do...!!

Iceburg: What you WANT to do...?!  No.
	Everything you have done here
	Is in compensation...!!
	You still believe that what happened on the day Tom-san was taken away
	is entirely your fault, and you have to make up for it.
	But Tom-sam had already forgiven you on the same day,
	and showed you the way forward...!!!

 - Page 137 -

Iceburg: You brought together all the thugs from the backtown,
	called yourselves bounty hunters and and protected our island from pillagers,
	all from the sense of guilt you felt toward Tom-san,
	and the "Water Metropolis" he loved so much.
	Even though it doesn't seem so from a distance.

Franky: Hahh.
	Hahh.
	Yeah, I bet it doesn't...  Cause that ain't why I did it!!!

Iceburg: You stopped building ships, which you loved to do so much.
	You lived by suppressing your own urges... Is that how you intend to spend the rest of your life?!
	Even if Tom-san forgave you,
	and even if I forgive you as well...
	...no doubt things will never change...
	...Just face the truth!!!

 - Page 138 -

Iceburg: AND FORGIVE YOURSELF
	ALREADY, FRANKY!!!

Franky: (drip)

Iceburg: ...isn't it about time
	that you live your OWN dream
	for once...?

Franky: Owww.
	Yeowww!!!

Object: (shwooosh)

Franky: Whoaaa!!!

 - Page 139 -

Franky: What's that?!
	A bag!

Family: That's your travel luggage, Boss!!!

Franky: You guys...

Family: Move it, people!
	Bossss!!
	MBOZSSS!!!

Crowd: Yaaack, the Franky Family!!

Zambai: Boss!!  Please forgive us for all these things we're doing!!!
	Hahh.
	You can punish us any way you see fit!!!
	Hahh.
	...we know we're stupid!!!
	We tried to put our nonexistent brains together to come up with an answer!!!

Franky: What the hell were you thinking of?!!
	A way to steal my pants?!! HUH?!!
	A way to turn me into a pirate?!!
	Keep it to yourselves!!  It's MY life, and MY decision!!!
	You think any self-respecting boss
	is gonna happily do what his underlings tell him to do?!!
	This is ridiculous!!
	If you don't have brains, then don't try to use 'em in the first place!!!

Zambai: We're sorry...!!  But can't we think just a bit?!
	We were just common thugs when you saved our lives and brought us in...

 - Page 140 -

Zambai: CAN'T WE THINK ABOUT
	*YOUR* HAPPINESS, TOO?!!!

Iceburg: ...haha.

Cocoro: Which one'sh the idiot?

Franky: All you people...!!
	...ah-!!
	AAH!!!  AHHYEOEOWWW!!
	HOGH!! GYAAAACK!!!

Sisters: Huh?!  Boss!!

 - Page 141 -

Luffy: C'mon, Robin!!  Ease up on the pressure!!
	Don't turn him into a girl!!!

Chopper: He's CRYING!!!

Sisters: You'll pull them right off!!!
	You're gonna twist them off!!!
	Just like grapes!!

Franky: Dammit, Nico Robin!!  You're really gonna get it!!!
	This is killin' me!!  I can't stop cryin'!!!
	Oh, oh!

Luffy: Huh?  Wait.  Are you still doing it?

Robin: Haha... I only did it the one time.
	He's just blaming the tears on the pain.

Franky: Shit!  Oh, owwww!!!
	Yeoowww!!!  It's killin' me!!!
	I just keep cryin'!!!

Zambai: Boss, are you okay?!!

<<Zambai: Never seen you before...

Franky: Hell no, I ain't okay...!!!

 - Page 142 -

<<Zambai: What's with the speedo, huh?
	Don't be actin' tough here in the backtown, son...
	Aagh!

<<Guy: Zambai!!

<<Franky: My name is Franky, and I'm gonna be ruling the Water Seven backtown from now on.
	Nice to meetcha!

Sisters: Boss...

<<Franky: Little girls shouldn't be drinkin' in the middle of the day.

<<Sister: And who the hell are you?!

<<Guy: Gimme food...

<<Franky: Bring anyone who needs food to me.

Family: Boss...!!
	Bossss!!

<<Family: Go crazy, people!!
	The Franky Family has raised its flag!!!
	Yahoohoooo!!!

 - Page 143 -

Franky: ...how are you guys gonna survive...

Family: Boss...

Franky: ...if I'm gone...?!

Family: If we all pool our strength together...
	I'm sure we can take over the hidden face of Water Seven together!!!
	Don't worry about it!
	Don't cry, Boss!
	Bossss!!!
	No matter how far you go...
	We'll always be your henchman, for the rest of our lives!!!
	Boss!!

Franky: Ugh...!!  Yeoowww!!  The tears keep comin'!!!

Guys: Hurry!!
	What a mess...
	Luffyyyy!!

Luffy: Oh.
	Zoro, Sanji.

Sanji: We've got serious trouble on our hands!!!

 - Page 144 -

Zoro: Your grandpa came back, Luffy!!!
	They're looking for us at the opposite shore,
	in attack formation!!!

Luffy: Huh?!  WHY?!
	I thought they weren't gonna get us!!

Sanji: How should we know?!  Just get prepared to sail!!
	Goddamn, Franky!!  You still don't have any pants on yet?!

Luffy: Oops.
	You can have this back!
	Now c'mon, Franky!
	Get on MY SHIP!!!

 - Page 145 -

Franky: ...heheheh.
	Don't gimme that crap!!
	You fools barely know how to nail a plank down!
	Can't have such a nice ship
	without a single decent craftsman on board.
	I'd feel bad for the ship!
	ALL RIGHT THEN!!  YOU GOT A DEAL!!!
	IF YOUR SHIP NEEDS A SHIPWRIGHT, THEN FRANKY IS YOUR MAN!!!

Luffy: YAHOOOO!!!
	A NEW CREW MEMBER!!!

Sisters: Boss...!!

Family: Don't cry... Don't cry!!
	Straw Hat-san is a man who can be trusted!!

Franky: {Tom-san, I'm leaving the island...!!!}

 - Page 146 -

Franky: {I was a terrible apprentice who caused you nothing but trouble,
	but you were a great leader to me!!
	You Galley-la foremen,
	watch after Iceburg!!
	I was nothing but trouble for you, too...
	Old hag Cocoro.
	Squirt, bunny rabbit.
	Yokozuna...!!
	Lively townsfolk.}

Crowd: Sicko!
	Where are you going?!
	You're coming back, right?

Franky: {My sisters...
	Sodom, Gomorrah.
	And my dear,
	beloved henchmen...}

 - Page 147 -

Franky: I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN SOMETIME!!!!

Family: Bosss!!
	Booossss!!!

Sanji: God, put your pants on.
