MY NAME IS FRANKY

Nami leans in close with a worried expression, sweat drops visible, saying "BETTER NOT MOVE AROUND TOO MUCH..." and "HE'S INJURED REALLY BADLY...". In the next panel Usopp, wearing his signature goggles and helmet, speaks urgently: "I THINK THE FRANKYS' BASE IS JUST AHEAD, WE'LL DEFINITELY GET THEM BACK!!" Nami replies, "I'LL GET HELP AND I'LL TELL CHOPPER TO TEND YOUR WOUNDS. USOPP... WAIT HERE. I'LL GO BACK TO THE SHIP." Usopp reassures her, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE MONEY...". Nami turns to leave but Usopp suddenly grabs her arm, shouting "CAN YOU HEAR ME, USOPP!I WAIT HERE!!" while a crowd of Franky Family members watches. A large SFX "GASP" appears as Nami reacts with shock.

Nami pulls away, hair whipping, declaring "I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!!" with motion lines and SFX "ダッシュ" showing her running off. Usopp watches her go, sweat drops flying. The scene shifts to chaos on the water: the Going Merry is being violently rammed by a berserk Yagara bull, water splashing everywhere. A voice cries "AH!! THAT BULL HAS GONE BERSERK!!" while another shouts "FASTER, YAGARA!!" and "NII NIII NIIII!!". In the aftermath, Nami stands with a serious expression holding money, surrounded by speech bubbles: "WE CAN NOT FIX THAT SHIP.", "NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU PAY...", "ABLE TO FIX GOING MERRY...", "WE WERE FINALLY...". A Galley-La Company hat is visible on a figure in the background.

Nami grips a rope tightly on the damaged Going Merry, her face determined, stating "WE'LL NEED THAT WHOLE 300 MILLION, IF WE WANT TO SURVIVE IN THE SEA BEYOND..." and "BE IT REPAIRING, REBUILDING, OR BUYING A NEW SHIP...". The Yagara bull charges again with massive impact SFX "ドゴォン" and "ハァハァ", water exploding as voices yell "GET THAT MONEY BACK!!" and "NII NIII!". Nami continues, "WE HAVE TO...". The final panels show the massive, ornate Galley-La Company headquarters building rising from the sea. Nami looks at it and says "THAT'S WHAT... THE CARPENTER SAID...I" while an unseen voice responds "YOU'RE SERIOUS...!I" with a small SFX "チッ".

On the deck of the battered Going Merry, the crew discusses the ship's dire state. Someone notes, "THOSE THREE PROBABLY CAME UP WITH A GOOD ANSWER AT THE SHIPYARD ALREADY." Chopper, wearing his hat, worries aloud, "I DON'T KNOW. I WONDER WHAT LUFFY AND THE OTHERS DECIDED..." He adds, "THEY CAN'T REPAIR ITI EVEN IF WE PAY THEMI WHY... DID IT END UP LIKE THIS...I" Nami stands nearby, hand to her face, murmuring, "THIS SHIP IS..." In a wider view of the ship beached on the shore, the crew reflects on their journey. "THE SHIP LOOKS AS GOOD AS ALWAYS. DIDN'T IT MAKE IT ALL THE WAY HERE FROM EAST BLUE WITH US...I" A voice questions, "...ARE YOU SURE HE WASN'T JUST EXAGGERATINGI" Another replies, "JUST LOOK!" Chopper continues, "FOR A SHIP, THE WOUNDS ONLY STACK UP AND WEAKEN IT MORE AND MORE." Sanji, looking serious, finishes the thought: "THAT IS PROBABLY THE REASON WHY IT'S BROKEN. A PERSON GETS STRONGER WITH WOUNDS, BUT..."

Zoro leans back with hands behind his head, saying, "BUT THERE'S NO WAY TO SAVE IT..." Chopper replies sadly, "...EVERYONE DOES..." Usopp shouts passionately, "BUT I LIKE MERRY VERY MUCH!!" Sanji, arms crossed, states firmly, "I JUST CAN'T ACCEPT THIS... I WONDER WHAT USOPP WOULD THINK IF HE HEARS THIS..." Chopper looks concerned, thinking, "THIS AFTERNOON IS FILLED WITH TROUBLE..." The ship looms in the background as thoughts continue: "ROBIN IS MISSING... MERRY IS BROKEN..." Suddenly, the scene shifts to the crew spotting someone. Sanji exclaims, "HUHI WHY IS SHE ALONEI WHERE ARE LUFFY AND USOPP!I NAMI!! DID SOMETHING HAPPEN!I" Chopper cries out, "NAMI IS BACK!! EHI" Nami waves urgently, "EVERYONE!!"

A map panel labels the location: "A CORNER IN WATER SEVEN NORTHEAST BEACH" and "SCRAP FACTORY." The crew arrives at a bizarre, massive structure. Speech bubbles erupt with excitement: "WOOOW!!" "WOW!!!" A large sign reads "FRANKY HOUSE" above the entrance, with the building itself resembling a giant face with goggles and a star emblem. Someone yells in shock, "200 MILLION!I 200 MILLION!!I"

Inside the lively Franky House, Franky stands with his signature pompadour and sunglasses, surrounded by cheering members of his family. He grins and shouts, "IT'S AMAZING!! YOU GUYS DID VERY WELL! WHAT DO YOU THINK, BRO!!I" A close-up shows a massive stack of cash as someone says, "WE CAN BUY THE THING THAT WE ALWAYS WANTED... WITH THIS MUCH MONEY..." Flashbacks depict the group's hardships: "WHEN WE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY, WE BET OUR HOPES ON THE YAGARA RACE... WE LOST EVERY PENNY!" "WHEN WE GOT REWARD MONEY FROM BOUNTIES, WE HAD A BANQUET TO CELEBRATE... WE LOST EVERY PENNY!" The crew recalls, "IT FELT LIKE AN ETERNITY, THINKING ABOUT IT EVERY NIGHT..." Franky declares, "THIS IS GREAT, BRO!! WE WAITED 3 YEARS FOR IT!"

The Franky Family gathers triumphantly outside a large building. Their leader praises them: "YOU GUYS DID AN AMAZING JOB!! IN AN INSTANT!!" Others add, "WE GOT FROM HAVING ALMOST NOTHING... TO GETTING THE WHOLE 200 MILLION..." The crew erupts in celebration. "YAAAHOO!! EAT! DRINK! SPEND IT HOWEVER YOU WANT!!!" One member hands over cash, saying, "THIS IS NOT MUCH, BUT... TAKE IT." Suddenly a massive explosion rocks the scene with the huge sound effect "ドドォン!!!" Two Franky Family members are blasted off their feet. "WHAT WAS THAT!I" one yells as another screams "WAAA AH!!"

Smoke and debris fill the air after the blast. "WHO DARES TO ATTACK THE FRANKYS!!!I" someone shouts. "WHO'S THATI" another demands. A close-up shows a stern face with a star marking: "HM!I" A masked figure stands tall on a cloud-like surface amid swirling dust, gripping a weapon. The sound effect "ドン!!!" echoes. In the next panels a massive, angry face looms forward. "GIVE IT BACK!!" he roars. A smaller panel shows the masked man replying, "...THE MONEY..." The giant recognizes him: "AH! YOU'RE THAT WEAK-LING!! HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO STAND BACK UP!I"

The Franky Family reacts with surprise. "I THOUGHT HE WAS STRONG BUT ACTUALLY... AHA-HA-HA-HA" one laughs. Another confirms, "THAT'S RIGHT, BRO!! HE'S WITH THE STRAW-HAT LUFFY." They realize, "SO YOU ARE ONE OF THE STRAW-HAT'S CREWI GIVE THE MONEY BACK TO YOUI" The masked man refuses: "I CAN'T GIVE THE MONEY BACK TO YOU. BUZZ OFF!! HE'S A WEAK PIECE OF CRAP...!!!" A large panel reveals the giant is Franky, his face contorted. "IT'S VERY IMPORTANT!! THAT MONEY IS FOR REPAIRING THE DAMAGES ON GOING MERRY! YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!! GIVE IT BACK!! WE NEED IT TO REPAIR OUR SHIP...!!!" Franky growls "HEH... HEH..."

Franky looms over the masked man. "THIS MONEY IS OURS NOW!!...BUT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR SHIP," he declares. The masked attacker retorts, "CALM DOWN... AHAHAHA!! YOUR SHIP IS VERY IMPORTANT EHI" Surrounded by the Franky Family, the attacker is told, "IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, GO AHEAD AND GO TO THE MARINES! YOU'LL JUST GET ARRESTED" and "TOO BAD FOR STRAW-HAT LUFFY! HE HAS A WORTHLESS CREW..." Another adds, "AND SADLY FOR YOU, WE DON'T GET PROSECUTED FOR ROBBING FROM PIRATES. I DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHERE YOU GOT THE DIRTY MONEY." Franky orders, "PLAY WITH HIM IF YOU LIKE, GUYS. I'M GOING SHOPPING WITH THIS MONEY. AHAHAHA. I CAN'T WAIT..." The masked man is struck with impact effects as someone yells, "WHO CAN'T EVEN KEEP MONEY IN HIS HANDS!!"

A massive explosion rocks the area as a fiery projectile launches forward. "EAT THIS! CERTAIN-DEATH... FIRE STAR!!" The blast erupts with a thunderous <SFX> BOOM!!! In the aftermath, Franky looms in close-up, his expression fierce. "IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE THIS CITY ALIVE... DON'T AGITATE ME. REMEMBER THIS, LONG-NOSE FREAK. MY NAME IS FRANKY." Nearby, a battered figure clutches a massive weapon and stammers, "THANKS FOR THE 200 MILLION. GOOD BYE." Franky Family members react with wild laughter, "YAHAHAHA," as one demands, "WHAT GOOD WOULD THAT KIND OF WEAPON DO!I" while another shouts, "LET GO!!" and "AH..."

Usopp yells desperately, "NII...!! GIVE IT BACK!! WAIT!!" Franky snatches the weapon away. The scene erupts into chaos as Usopp is pummeled, crying "WAA~ ~HAH AHAHA HI!" and "GU..." while heavy impacts land with <SFX> ドスッ!!! and <SFX>!!!. In the distance, two figures watch from an archway. The struggle spills outside as Usopp screams from afar, "GIVE IT BACK-----!!!!" while soaring through the sky above the Franky House.

Nami stands on the Going Merry and declares, "I'LL ONLY BE A BURDEN IF I GO ANYWAYS. PLUS, IT'S SCARY. I'LL STAY HERE AND WAIT FOR ROBIN TO COME BACK." She adds, "PLEASE TAKE CARE, EVERYONE..." Inside a room, a woman with a gun spins and fires repeatedly, <SFX> SAHI SAHI, announcing, "I'LL PROTECT THE SHIP AND THE 100 MILLION BERI." On a city street, Sanji snaps at Zoro, "LIKE YOU'RE THE ONE TO TALK! SHUT UP!" Zoro retorts, "ARE YOU SURE THAT WE'RE AT THE RIGHT PLACEI" Chopper cries, "DIDN'T NAMI SAY THAT USOPP IS SOMEWHERE AROUND HERE!I" as they spot something and shout, "USOPP!!" "NII!" "STOP! STOP!"

The crew reacts in shock: "HMI" "...NO WAY... HE WENT THERE...!I" "DID HE GO ON HIS OWN!I" "LOOK! BLOOD!" A piercing scream echoes, <SFX> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! Inside a building, a violent crash sends debris flying as someone plummets, <SFX> ガン!!, with cries of "AHGG," "GUH," and <SFX> DOHN. Nami demands, "I TRIED TO FLY DOWN LIKE THE CARPENTER GUY AND FIND USOPP... WHERE DID YOU JUMP DOWN FROM!I WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING-!I" Luffy appears dazed while Usopp wails, "LUFFY!I HELP!!" as Zoro coughs nearby.

The Straw Hats react in shock after learning what happened. "WENT TO THE FRANKYS' PLACE ALONEI" one asks. "DID HE FEEL RESPONSIBLE AND..." another wonders. A voice explains, "WE KNOW. COME! WE'RE GOING TO THEIR PLACE RIGHT NOW. HE WAS KIDNAPPED ALONG WITH THE MONEY... USOPP GOT BEATEN AND THE MONEY GOT STOLEN." Luffy shouts in alarm, "AH! THAT'S RIGHT, USOPP DISAPPEARED!!" The group stands together on a city street, with a large man in a black cap, Sanji, a girl in a straw hat, and another man in a vest looking concerned. In the distance, figures gather around a fallen body on the ground. "HE'S ALIVE. NO PROBLEM. HE'LL BE OKAY," someone says. "EVEN THOUGH HE LOST CONSCIOUSNESS..." Another voice asks, "IS HE STILL BREATHING... CHOPPER...I"

The group walks across the clouds toward the FRANKY HOUSE as night falls. A large speech bubble declares, "AND THEN SEND IT FLYING WITH A KICK...!!!!" Inside the house, voices shout, "WE HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY!!! HEY! GO GET MORE FOOD! LET'S CAUSE TROUBLE IN THAT HOUSE..." and "THE RUM TASTES ESPECIALLY GOOD TODAY!" Usopp lies beaten on the floor amid debris. Close-ups show angry, determined faces: the large man in the cap growling, Sanji glaring, Luffy with a fierce expression, and the man in the vest lighting a cigarette. The page ends with the One Piece logo and "CHAP 329 FIN."
