Summary:
Franky shows Usopp remotely repairing the Going Merry with Mozu and Kiwi. Usopp is then shown noting that the weather is getting worse as he repairs the ship. Franky then recalls Usopp’s determination to get 200,000 bellies to repair his ship, with Mozu mentioning that the ship must be what he needed the money for, and Kiwi noting Usopp’s ignorance of the weather. Which causes Franky to say that Usopp’s ship repair predicament is a lost cause. As Franky approaches the ship, he repeats his point about it being useless, loud enough for Usopp to hear, to reveal his presence. After realizing who Franky is, Usopp questions why he is here and Franky says that he will have to take him and the ship hostage due to the storm, that he has some business with Straw Hat Luffy and has come to kidnap Usopp.
In the courtyard of the Galley-La Zoro fights the boatmen trying to protect the Iceburg, thinking it’s okay since he defeated them all with the backs of his swords. Nami then yells at him for taking them all out when it wasn’t necessary while Chopper fawns over Zoro’s power. Nami and chopper then run through the building yelling at Zoro for getting lost several times and claiming it’s a miracle. Luffy is shown escaping the metal obstacles that the masked men put him and Paulie in while Paulie is amazed by Luffy’s Devil Fruit abilities. Once outside, Luffy starts working on Paulie’s restraints as well.
Lucci is then shown unmasked and explains to Iceburg that the World Government has an intelligence agency named Cipher Pol-1, although Cipher Pol-8 is referred to by most people as CP1 or CP8, and that they can mine any information the World Government needs. Once Iceburg says that he knows about these organizations, Lucci goes on to explain that they are actually part of a supposedly non-existent unit called CP9, saying that they are special because they are authorized to kill people who oppose the wishes of the country’s governments. the name of justice. Lucci goes on to say that the world government has changed their tactics and decided that instead of living in fear of the weapon, they decided to seize it and use it to end the great pirate era, to which Iceburg reacts with mistrust of the government and that it will only cause more damage , if the weapon is restored knowing human nature. After Lucci kicks Iceburg in the face for still acting like his boss, Kaku goes to check his pulse as Lucci begins to explain their hypothesis that Iceburg’s pulse will tell them if it’s true.
On the street, Kokoro, Chimney and Gonbe are seen walking when Chimney asks if they are going back. Kokoro says that since the wind is good for sobering up, they go a long way because she drinks more alcohol, which Chimney finds strange and asks if you can sober up by drinking. Kokoro just laughs and says she can since she’s been drinking for decades. As Chimney and Gonbe run ahead into the strong wind and repeat how weird it is, Kokoro corrects herself and says she’s only been drinking for 8 years.
Back in the room with CP9, Robin, and Iceburg, Lucci begins to tell Iceburg her hypothesis and the thoughts behind it. Which starts with him explaining that they have doubts about the fake plans he gave them, saying that Iceburg knew they were from the government so he gave them a fake one, but if the person really came to kill him, the real plans would then get lost in the world In order to keep the gun safe he had to hand it over to someone else but since he didn’t do that that night he had already entrusted it to someone else or that he didn’t have it with him. He then explains that this is all theory and has no proof, he continues his theory by saying that the person in charge must have reasonable skill as a shipwright, then pulls out the fake plans and notes that the architects signed their names ie Tom, Iceburg and Cutty Flam, otherwise known as Tom’s workers. Lucci goes on to say that to anyone else it would have passed and they would have believed that these were real plans, but since CP9 was so close to Iceburg, they knew about Tom’s workers and along with their information from the World Government, they knew that Tom had two apprentices and he was confirmed dead. However, Lucci remembered the name Cutty Flam from someone who met Iceburg just after they started their undercover work. It then shows a flashback of Kalifa telling Iceburg about a man named Cutty Flam, but Iceburg tells them to turn him away, but this proves that Cutty Flam is still alive and has actually changed his name to Franky. Just then, Iceburg’s pulse quickens, and then there’s another shot of Iceburg meeting Franky, with Franky saying it’s a strange way to meet. Iceburg then gives him the plans for Pluton and tells Franky to stop using the Cutty Flam name and that Franky should leave with the plans in case he or Iceburg are targeted. Back in the present, Kaku verifies the truth of Lucci’s statements with Iceburg’s racing heartbeat and exclaims that he would never have made the connection. Lucci then says that they were never able to prove Franky’s identity, but because of his strange behavior and profession, they didn’t pay attention to him. After praising Iceburg for his smart thinking and explaining how they had the opportunity to meet and exchange plans, he explains that since he has no plans and none of them were entrusted to them, it had to be entrusted to his fellow student. and that while it may have been speculation, Iceburg’s pulse confirmed their theory as fact.
In the hallway, Nami, Chopper and Zoro are shown running past injured people, Chopper takes particular notice, Nami finds the right room and slows down with Chopper to be cut down by Zoro. Which makes him angry at them for ordering him to. Luffy burst into the room and Paulie yelled at him that it was the wrong room. Back in Iceburg’s room, Lucci tells Iceburg that it really wasn’t his fault for giving up, and that he’s only human, at which point both Luffy and Zoro break through the walls of the room, yelling where Robin is. Both Zoro and Robin are surprised while Lucci shows her irritation. Luffy says he found Robin while Zoro asks where Luffy was. Chopper expresses his joy at seeing Robin again, while both Nami and Paulie wonder what’s going on.
