Chapter 14: The Key Man: Frankie
ps: The author has been in arrears for 7 chapters ā_ ā during the holidays, remember, it will be made up because of the iceberg attack, and the surging crowd was blocked by the iron gate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć From time to time, people who have calmed down, or who know that they can't climb through the iron gate are persuaded to leave, there are still people who come one after another, filling their vacancies. As a result, this square is always full of people.
"Hey, you're early, do you know what's going on now?, what about Mr. Iceberg, what's going on with Mr. Iceberg?" asked someone who was probably a newcomer to the front row.
"It's said to be out of danger, but even if you know, it's useless, you have to pass through here to get in! and only the relevant people, or those who have been specially authorized, are allowed to enter the place now. The man replied worriedly.
"Everyone is worried, restless, and the mood is the same. The other person who heard their conversation immediately responded, and his words caused a series of sighs.
Crockdahl was also in the crowd, quietly listening to what these people were saying.
Just because, he's waiting.
"It's windy......"
Crockdahl muttered, looking up at the sparsely white sky, narrowing his eyes slightly. Although it seems to be no different from the past, as a man at sea, he is extremely sensitive to changes in air currents.
"Whew!" a long siren rang through the sky, confirming Crockdahl's guess.
"Tsunami? I forgot about it...... "Crockdahl pouted as he listened to the radio, "it seems that the going to sea will be put on hold anyway." ā
Even if he could create a hurricane out of sand, there was still nothing he could do about a tsunami in nature. The power of nature can never be resisted by human beings.
"Huh, what's that......" Crockdahl's pupils shrank suddenly, and then his face turned happy.
I saw that by the huge iron gate not far away, on the edge of the suspended waterway used to connect the upper and lower floors, three figures appeared there with a puff of smoke and deafening music.
These three people who came out with their own BGM were led by the super ** of the Water Capital, Frankie.
Frankie was still dressed in the usual way of Kroccodahl - briefs and a floral shirt, long blue hair curled up in the sky, and a pair of triangular sunglasses on his face. Behind him were two women with pointed noses and hair like square boards. It was his two henchmen.
"Hmm, what are so many people arguing about?" Frankie put up his sunglasses and looked sideways, but then ignored this, and curled the corners of his mouth quite arrogantly, and his steel nose trembled, "But it's okay, if there are more audiences, my ** will be more super!"
"Bang bang bang!" a series ......of rousing drumbeats rang out, and in a slightly eerie tone, Frankie tapped his heel and beat to the beat of the drum.
"This ...... The melody is ......," someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"Could it be...... It can't be, right?!"
"Why do you ...... at such a time?"
"Hey, did you call my name!" Frankie's slightly unobtrusive, stout little arms stretched forward, and his fingers stretched out little by little, little by little, pointing in the direction from which the exclamation came.
"There has been!!" said Fran, cried out in a strange voice, and at some point he was obscured by a light veil, and only the silhouettes of three men could be seen in the sunlight - all three of them were crossed at the waist, their right legs bent, and they were constantly tapping on the ground.
"Oh! Don't be shy! Let's listen carefully!" With the beat and melody, the figure of the ** man kept changing his bodybuilding posture behind the light yarn, and he also read the same word as rap, "Lao Tzu's name is ......"
"The name is ...... Whew!wow!"
"That's it...... Franky!" With a strong tongue-curling voice, Frankie's voice suddenly became high-pitched, "That's right! Uncle Frankie is me!"
The light veil flew up, revealing the figures of the three people behind them. They are all doing a uniform movement at this point, with their backs to the audience, twisting their bodies backwards, and pointing their index fingers at the crowd.
Frankie's self-report to the door was greeted by the unanimous scolding of the crowd.
"Ahh
"Die! You are the murderer of Mr. Iceberg!"
"Is it him!? It must be him!"
"Needless to say, this must be this bastard! Get out of this island!"
"Arrest this a**! Sentence to hanging!"
The shouts of the crowd obviously had no effect on Frankie.
Instead, he stuck out his little finger and gouged out his ears, and then raped in a strange voice: "You noisy flies! I'm the best super man on this island! I'm the underworld boss of 'WaterSeven'! yes, everybody calls me that~~~~~~~~~~!
"Frankie!"
With an impassioned shout, Frankie's arms were put together, stretched diagonally upwards to the side. The pattern on his two forearms is exactly put together into a blue five-pointed star, and the arms and body that stretch out diagonally form a perfect 45-degree angle, and an explosion of "boom!" sounds, and the smoke and dust rising behind him seem to be the gift of his appearance.
As the smoke and dust rose, the crowd that had been surrounding the No. 1 dock suddenly exploded, and frantically drove their respective bulls to flee into the distance, and in a moment the place became empty, only some people who didn't know much about the seven waters, or who were slow to react, still stayed here.
This is the deterrent power of the infamous head of the Frankie family.
"Die for me, Straw Hat Boy! actually took advantage of Uncle Ben's bad mood to distract me, did that kind of thing to my lovely little brothers, and even took our beloved little nest ...... Even I can't bear it!" Frankie lifted his sunglasses with his thumb, revealing his round eyes below, and the bloodshot eyeballs filled the eyeballs, which looked quite terrifying.
"You should be here, Straw Hat Kid Luffy! If it's a man, I'll come out for Uncle Ben! Conduct a duel between men in a dignified s~u~p~e~r~ duel!"
ā¦ā¦
Although the duel did not go as Frankie had hoped, it cannot be said that it did not happen.
Luffy was indeed here, originally to visit the iceberg, an uncle he liked quite a bit and helped them a lot, but the moment he saw Frankie, all his thoughts were instantly burned by anger.
Thinking of Usopp's tragic situation, Luffy, who was already extremely impulsive, rushed out without saying a word and fought with Frankie. When Nami, who was chasing Luffy, arrived here, the battle between the two had already entered a fever pitch. Luffy's punches and kicks, and the ammunition fired by Frankie, left the vicinity of Dock One devastated.
Just as the two of them were fighting, the shipwrights who received the news rushed out one after another. was already irritated by the attack on the iceberg, but at this time it seemed that he had found an outlet and joined the battle between the two.
Ordinary boatmen, even those who are full of violence, are no match for them. But when the foremen appeared, the battle ended in an instant.
Luqi and Kaku, disguised as foremen, do have overwhelming strength. One by one, Luffy and Frankie were captured by two, and then disappeared behind the dock gate.
It all happened right under Krokedahl's nose, and he didn't make any moves.
His target is Frankie, but if he shoots in plain sight, he can't be guaranteed that he won't be targeted by the CP9 people. Even if his strength can ignore these few people in CP9, he can't ignore the power of the world government behind CP9.
Now is not the time to confront the world government, so the matter of seeking the blueprint of Hades still needs to be considered in the long run.
On the other hand, Frankie's capture might be a good thing. At least on the surface, Frankie fell into the hands of the iceberg, and it can be said that he was being watched by CP9. That way, if he could steal the blueprint from Frankie's chest without even noticing, neither side would turn their attention elsewhere.
And according to the plot, this opportunity will be there soon, just tonight......
Moreover, if you want to awaken the ancient weapon "Hades", in addition to the drawings, Robin, who can parse the ancient text, is also essential. Thinking of this, Crockdahl turned and quietly left.
ā¦ā¦
"Woo-" The tsunami warning sounded again, reminding the people of the City of Seven Waters that "Akula Ragana" was coming.
In addition to those near Dock 1, people can be seen nailing wooden planks to doors and windows to reinforce their houses to withstand the storm. After all, when a tsunami comes, the entire city is submerged, which is where the ruins beneath the city come from.
At this time, it was still the same bar, still the same position by the window, Delkule was still sipping the wine as before, and the owner of the bar was still bitter and hateful.
"I said ......"
"Hmm, what?" Delkuller turned his head.
"Didn't you say you wanted to see a play?
"Oh, what's the matter with me, I'm on vacation!" Delkule said in a natural tone, "isn't it just a storm? ā
"Huh?" Calford was surprised, "Don't you know? Iceberg was assassinated and has just woken up!"
"What?!" Delkule was surprised for a moment, "when? I didn't even know how handsome it was?!"
"I was shot five times last night, and it's been all over this morning!" Calford said, "I heard that Nicole Robin did it, so the Straw Hat Boy and the shipyard boatmen did one!"
"Hey! that's true, it's interesting......" Delkuler pinched his chin, and the corners of his mouth picked up evilly, "It's a rare lazy sleep, and I actually missed such a fun thing, oops~~~ But in comparison, it's more important to have a beauty sleep!Hmm! Another drink, as a celebration that finally has something to break this boring life!"
"Huh, Calford~" Delkuller's eyebrows twitched slightly, and the tail note raised.
"Yes......" Calford tearfully pulled out the bottle......
