IT'S DECIDED!

The page opens with a large, sweeping view of a coastal area in Water 7. A prominent building with a large, crescent moon-shaped structure behind it sits near the water. Footstep sound effects, "STA STA STA STA," indicate someone approaching. In the middle panel, the scene shifts to a lively, chaotic party. A large group of rowdy people, many wearing star motifs, are celebrating. One man with a star tattoo on his arm is chugging from a massive bottle, while others cheer and laugh with sound effects like "GYAHAHA," "HAHHA," and "HA!". Barrels of alcohol and scattered cups fill the room. In the bottom panel, the perspective shifts outside the building, which has a sign reading "FRANKY HOUSE" above the entrance. Four dark silhouettes—Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper—stand ominously in the foreground, facing the building as the sounds of the party continue from within.

The page begins with three panels showing the emotional weight of the situation. On the left, Nami looks furious and determined, shouting, "SMASH THEM UP GOOD, GUYS!!" In the center, a close-up shows Usopp, severely beaten, bruised, and heavily bandaged, crying as he weakly apologizes, "I'M SORRY, EVERYONE... NAMI... I'M SORRY..." On the right, Nami continues, her face shadowed with anger, "THEY TOOK... ALL OUR MONEY..." The middle panel shows a wide shot of the four Straw Hats—Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper—walking purposefully toward the Franky House. In the foreground lies the massive, defeated body of a Franky Family member they have already taken down. Inside the Franky House, the party is in full swing. Zambai, a tall man with a star on his chest and a top hat, yells excitedly, "BUY THE BEST RUM AND MEAT IN THE SHOP!! WE HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY!! HAHA!!" Another member cheers, "YOU'RE GOING SHOPPING!" Zambai laughs mockingly, "WAH!! YOU LOST! YOU LOST!" Suddenly, a square-faced member with goggles notices something outside and says, "HUH?" Zambai stands up, looking toward the entrance with a wide, arrogant grin, shouting, "JUST YOU WAIT! I'LL GET YOU BACK!! WAHAHAHA!!"

A massive, explosive impact shatters the front of the Franky House in a chaotic double-page spread layout. A huge blast blows the doors and walls inward, sending debris, wooden planks, and dust flying everywhere. The sheer force of the explosion knocks several Franky Family members off their feet, sending them tumbling backward through the air. They scream in panic and confusion, yelling, "BUWAAAA---!!" "WHAT THE HELL!!?" "WHO IS IT!!" and "SOMEONE'S THERE!!" Amidst the flying rubble and thick smoke, the four Straw Hats—Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper—stand tall and menacing in the doorway, their silhouettes cutting through the dust. The square-faced Franky Family member with goggles looks on in stunned silence, uttering a quiet "AH..." as the reality of the attack sets in. The sheer scale of the destruction highlights the Straw Hats' fury.

The top panel shows Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper standing side-by-side in the ruined entrance of the Franky House, smoke billowing around them. Heavy footstep sound effects, "DO DO DO DO...", emphasize their intimidating presence. The middle panel cuts to a close-up of Usopp's battered and bloody face, his eyes wide with realization. A thought bubble reveals his inner turmoil: "DID HE FEEL RESPONSIBLE AND... GO TO THE FRANKIES' PLACE ALONE?" In the bottom panel, the Franky Family members react to the intruders. Zambai, looking shocked, points and yells, "YOU'RE... STRAW-HAT LUFFY!!" Luffy glares back, his expression dark and furious. Zambai quickly regains his arrogant composure and laughs, "WAHAHAH!! ARE YOU HERE FOR THE MONEY? LOOK HOW MANY PEOPLE WE HAVE!? YOU ONLY HAVE 4!! 4 LITTLE GUYS AT THAT!!" He then threatens them, declaring, "I'LL TEACH YOU A LESSON, AND THEN TURN IN YOUR HEADS FOR THE BOUNTY MONEY!!"

Luffy continues to glare silently, his anger palpable. Zambai mocks him, saying, "SO YOU'RE THAT SOFTY LONG-NOSE'S CAPTAIN!? YOU MUST HAVE A DEATH WISH TO BREAK IN HERE WITH THAT LEVEL OF STRENGTH!" A large, round Franky Family member wearing heavy, spherical armor steps forward, taunting, "I'LL GIVE YOU A FREE HIT, SHORTIE!" Luffy doesn't hesitate; he pulls both his arms far back, stretching them out as he prepares an attack, muttering, "GOMU GOMU..." The armored man looks confused, asking, "EH? WHAT'S HE DOING?" The rest of the Franky Family bursts into laughter. "WAHAHAH!! HE'S GOING TO USE HIS FISTS!!" one yells. "NOT EVEN A CANNON CAN SCRATCH THAT SUPER ARMOR!!" another adds. "HAHAH! I'M GOING TO LAUGH TO DEATH!!" The armored man confidently crosses his arms and says, "THAT'S ENOUGH, BOY! LET ME SHOW YOU HOW TO FIGHT CORRECTLY!!" Luffy's arms snap back forward with incredible speed.

The page captures the explosive impact of Luffy's attack. In the top right panel, Luffy launches his stretched arms forward with immense force. In the top left panel, the armored man and two other Franky Family members look on in sudden shock, their eyes wide and jaws dropping as they realize the danger, exclaiming "!!?". The main, large panel shows the devastating result. Luffy's palms slam directly into the center of the man's spherical armor. He shouts, "BAZOOKA!!!" A massive sound effect, "DOOON," dominates the panel as the sheer kinetic energy of the blow connects. The impact is so powerful that the heavy armor immediately begins to crack and shatter. The armored man is violently launched backward off his feet, propelled through the air by the force of the strike, leaving a trail of shattered armor fragments and dust in his wake.

The armored man is sent flying backward with tremendous speed, crashing violently through the thick stone wall at the back of the Franky House. He bursts through the masonry, coughing up blood with a "PUAA..." as debris rains down around him. Inside, the remaining Franky Family members are completely horrified. Their eyes pop out of their heads in exaggerated shock, and they scream, "!!!" The large central panel shows Luffy standing calmly with his arms outstretched, having just delivered the devastating blow. A massive crash sound effect, "GASHAAAN!!", accompanies the destruction. One of the gang members screams in terror, "AAAAAAAAH!! HE BROKE THROUGH THE SUPER ARMOR!!!" In the bottom panels, Luffy lowers his head, glaring menacingly from under his straw hat. The Franky Family members begin to panic and sweat profusely. "MY GOD!!!" one yells. "WHAT DO WE DO!?" another asks. Desperate, they try to backpedal, stammering, "LE...LE...LET'S TALK THIS OUT PEACEFULLY... LIKE... GENTLEMEN..."

Realizing that talking won't work, the Franky Family members resort to heavy weaponry. In the top panel, several members aim large cannons directly at the Straw Hats and fire a volley of massive black cannonballs. They scream, "FIRE!!!" and "DIE, SUCKERS!!!" as the cannons erupt with explosive force. In the middle panel, Zoro steps forward, calmly drawing his swords. He places one in his mouth and holds the other two ready, declaring, "THREE SWORD STYLE!! ROCK..." The bottom panel showcases Zoro in action. He leaps into the air, spinning rapidly as he executes his technique. "...HUNTING!!!" he shouts. With swift, precise strikes, Zoro slices through the incoming iron cannonballs in mid-air. The heavy projectiles are cleanly cut into halves and quarters, falling harmlessly around him as he lands, completely neutralizing the deadly barrage.

The Franky Family members are left in absolute disbelief. In the top panel, their faces are contorted in terror, jaws dropping and eyes bulging as they scream "!!!" at the sight of their attack failing so spectacularly. The middle panel shows a wide view of the room's checkered floor. Explosions from the sliced cannonballs detonate harmlessly in the background, sending plumes of black smoke into the air, while Zoro stands calmly amidst the chaos. In the bottom right panel, one of the gang members stammers in shock, "TH... THOSE CANNONBALLS ARE MADE OUT OF IRON!!" In the bottom left, Zoro smoothly sheathes one of his swords with a sharp "CHIHN" sound, his eye glaring coldly from beneath his bandana. Another gang member cries out in despair, "OH MY GOD!! EVEN THE CANNON...!!!" realizing they are completely outmatched.

Panic fully sets in among the Franky Family. In the top right panel, they yell, "THIS IS BAD!! THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT NORMAL!!" In the top left, Sanji leaps into action, delivering a swift kick to a gang member's face while shouting, "ESCAPE THROUGH THE BACK DOOR!!" He adds coldly, "...YOU SHOULD'VE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK WHEN PICKING WHO TO ROB FROM!!" The middle panel shows a gang member looking up in confusion, saying "HUH?", just before Sanji drops down into a handstand. In the large bottom panel, Sanji executes a devastating spinning kick technique. He spins rapidly on his hands, his legs sweeping out in a wide arc, striking multiple enemies simultaneously. He calls out the attack name, "PARTY TABLE KICK COURSE!!" The powerful kicks send the Franky Family members flying in all directions, crashing into the walls and floor as they scream in pain, "GYAAAA---!!!"

Sanji's spinning kicks continue to wreak havoc, sending more Franky Family members flying through the air with grunts of "UGOH!!!" in the top panel. The gang is in full retreat mode. One member yells, "RUN AWAY!!" while another screams, "GO THROUGH THE WINDOWS!!" In the middle panel, Chopper consumes a Rumble Ball, initiating a transformation. He announces, "HORN POINT," as his body shifts. The large bottom panel reveals Chopper in his massive Horn Point form, characterized by enormous, branching antlers and a muscular build. He charges forward like a bulldozer, using his giant antlers to scoop up and toss several gang members high into the air. He shouts his attack name, "ROSE CORONET!!" The enemies are thrown helplessly upward, screaming "HO-GEEEEEEH!!!" as Chopper effortlessly clears the room of attackers.

The Straw Hats stand victorious amidst the defeated Franky Family. Zoro says coldly, "THAT'S RIGHT. YOU TICKED US OFF." Sanji adds, "YOU YAP TOO MUCH. ALSO... IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE MONEY ANY MORE..." In the background, Zambai is kicked and screams, "AAH!! ZANBAI!! GYAAAA!!!" The middle panel shows Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper standing together, looking down at their beaten foes. Luffy declares, "WE'RE GOING TO... PULVERIZE YOU!" Zambai, battered and desperate, pleads, "LE... LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS... WE D... DON'T HAVE TO RESORT TO VIOLENCE. ALL YOU WANT IS THE MONEY. RIGHT? THE 200 MILLION WE GOT FROM THAT PINOCCHIO GUY? THE TRUTH IS, THAT MONEY IS NOT HERE ANYMORE!!" He continues, "OUR BOSS, FRANKY, ALREADY TOOK IT AND WENT SHOPPING! HE'S PROBABLY ALREADY ON HIS WAY IN THE SEA TRAIN!! WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE HE'S GOING EITHER!!" Luffy glares down at him as Zambai finishes, "YOU CAN'T GET YOUR 200 MILLION BACK ANY... NO MATTER HOW MUCH HAVOC YOU WREAK..."

Zambai suddenly changes his tune, yelling at his men, "PULVERIZE!? IDIOT! DON'T GET SCARED! THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSE TO SAY TO THEM! DON'T FORGET THAT WE'RE SCAVENGERS AND BOUNTY HUNTERS. WE'RE THE FRANKIES!!" Roused by his words, the remaining Franky Family members gather a massive, chaotic assortment of weapons—swords, cannons, spiked balls, and blades. They aim this makeshift arsenal at the Straw Hats and shout, "EAT THIS!! THE FRANKYS' SPECIAL ATTACK: ANYTHING-GOES SHOT CANNON!!!" In the bottom panel, the Straw Hats don't hesitate. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper charge head-on into the barrage of weapons. The gang members panic, yelling, "HERE THEY COME!!" and "WUOOOOO??!!" as the four pirates clash violently with the incoming attack, explosions and debris filling the air.

A chaotic brawl ensues as the Straw Hats tear through the Franky Family's desperate final attack. The gang members yell, "CHOP THEM INTO PIECES!!" and "THEY'RE ONLY FOUR PEOPLE!!" but they are completely outmatched. In a series of rapid-fire panels, the Straw Hats dismantle their opponents. Sanji delivers a powerful high kick to a large man's face. Luffy, grinning fiercely, throws a devastating punch. Zoro slashes through multiple enemies with his swords, and Chopper, in his Heavy Point form, lands a crushing blow. The final panel pulls back to an exterior view of the Franky House. The building shakes violently, with sound effects like "WAHAA" and "BOM!!" echoing from inside, indicating the absolute destruction taking place as the Straw Hats finish pulverizing the gang.

The scene shifts to a calm exterior view of Water 7, with birds cawing "KOO KOO" in the sky. The middle panel reveals the aftermath of the battle: the Franky House has been completely leveled, reduced to a massive pile of rubble and broken wood. The crescent moon structure behind it remains standing. Zoro stands amidst the wreckage, his sword resting on his shoulder, and asks, "WHERE WOULD WE GO? SHOULD WE GO AFTER FRANKY?" Sanji sits on a piece of debris, smoking a cigarette. In the bottom panel, Chopper sits on the ground, looking exhausted. Sanji replies, "THOSE SMALL FRIES REALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE THE MONEY IS... DAMN IT... AND WE CAN ONLY TAKE CARE OF FRANKY AFTER HE'S FINISHED SHOPPING... WHAT NOW? DO WE WAIT HERE? I DON'T THINK HE'LL BE BACK ANY TIME SOON..."

Zoro looks back over his shoulder and says, "NAMI IS ALONE ON THE SHIP, AND ROBIN IS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND. THE SHIP ITSELF IS BREAKING DOWN, TOO..." Sanji stands up from the rubble, agreeing, "WE'RE JUST WASTING TIME HERE. LET'S GO BACK." He then calls out, "COME HELP LIFT HIM!" referring to the beaten Usopp. Zoro replies, "OK! I'M DONE!" Sanji suddenly stops, a question mark appearing above his head as he notices something. He looks over and says, "...... HEY, LUFFY!!" In the middle panel, Luffy is standing alone on a high piece of the crescent moon structure, looking out over the city. He says quietly, "I'VE DECIDED... THE SHIP..." The final, large panel shows a close-up of Luffy's face. His expression is incredibly serious and resolute, a stark contrast to his usual demeanor. He declares, "IT'S TIME TO... SAY GOOD-BYE TO GOING MERRY!" A reaction bubble with "!!!?" shows the shock of his crewmates at this heavy decision.
