Tons of ship wreckage and all kinds of mechanical waste were piled up like a mountain. The cat that was lying on the ground had a back that was at least three meters high, like a small hill. It was constantly baring its teeth and dripping with bloody saliva. Its two sharp front claws were tearing at a large basin of fresh raw meat on the ground.
Webb and several Sandian warriors were picking out metal objects from the pile of waste and forging weapons and equipment. They glanced over from time to time.
Sauron stood alone at the top of the pile of scrap, with a string of heavy iron hanging from his arms. He was panting as he moved back and forth, muttering the numbers in his mouth, "1144,1145,1146 …"
Nami was sitting in the corner with a worried expression. She could feel the depressing atmosphere. After returning from Sky Island, everyone on the ship had a heavy look on their faces. It was like a powder keg that had been suppressed to the extreme and would explode at any time.
She looked at Luffy's back as he sat on the disassembled wreckage of Meryl. The pale moonlight sprinkled down, outlining his entire back with a deep and obscure outline.
"Franky, how long will it take to finish the modification?" Luffy looked at Franky. His throat felt like it had been scraped by metal.
"Maybe one more week." Franky opened his metal hands and strangely turned them into a huge wrench. He glanced at Luffy and suddenly added, "If there is no accident!"
Water 7 was built by numerous docks. Every day, countless ships from all over the world passed by, and there were also sea trains rumbling by. Therefore, every day, countless news and rumors gathered from the sea and then drifted to every sea in the world with the sea breeze.
Franky could smell that there seemed to be some kind of uneasiness hidden in the air. He had a strong feeling that he was being watched, as if there was an invisible net covering him and slowly tightening the net, making him feel "breathless". However, he couldn't find anything suspicious at all. Everything went on as usual. This was what scared him the most. This meant that danger had already quietly infiltrated his surroundings and had been lurking for a long time.
Franky looked up and focused his eyes on the towering building in the center of the island. The solid and towering gray wall was painted with "G · C" characters, which was the abbreviation of Galley-la Corporation.
Galley-la Corporation was the world's largest shipyard, and it was also the residence of Mayor Iceberg (nicknamed Iceberg). Franky and Iceberg had a secret relationship.
"I hope it's just my imagination!" Franky sighed. The moon tonight was like a thin tooth, and the thin frost on the moon seemed like it would be swallowed by the silent night at any time.
On the calm sea in the distance, with the passing of the sea train, the sea once again fell into darkness. It was as if a terrifying monster was looking down at Water 7 with gloomy and deep eyes.
Luffy also looked at the boundless darkness with a deep worry in his eyes. Today, he accidentally heard a piece of news in Water 7. It said that the captain of Whitebeard's second team, Fire Fist Ace, was defeated and captured in the process of chasing Blackbeard.
The news was just hearsay and might not be accurate, but wind from an empty cave was not necessarily silent. Moreover … the place where Ace was defeated by Blackbeard was Alabasta.
…
Nothing happened that night.
The night of the second day came as promised.
Under the curtain of the night, the cold street lights shone.
Franky slowly walked on the street. His lonely shadow dragged on the ground and then strangely sank into the ground behind him. A ferocious mouth opened like a zipper, and the shadow reflected on the ground was like a monster's bloody mouth that bit Franky's shadow.
"Closed so early?"
Franky stared at the closed bar and frowned. He suddenly turned his waist and clenched his right hand into a fist. It flew out from his arm and aimed at the head behind him.
"Hey, hey, hey, I was discovered?"
Amidst the mocking and gloomy laughter, spittle splashed out from his mouth that opened to the roots of his ears. His terrifying face suddenly turned into a thin piece of paper that was blown away by the wind from his fist.
The flat head looked like a ghost that had just emerged from a flower. The only thing left was a mouth that stretched across the cheeks. The serrated teeth were chain-like as it laughed and dodged Franky's fist. Then, it suddenly expanded and bit Franky's arm with its teeth.
Franky's pupils shrank, and the hair on his back stood up. He hurriedly retracted his fist. The metal chain was covered with stinky saliva, and there was an ear-piercing sound of friction. On the back of the metal fist, there was an obvious trace of teeth scraping.
"Hey, hey, hey, what a hard fist!"
The lion's mouth made a strange laughter, but his feet touched the ground. His body drew a series of afterimages on the ground, and his slender legs that were obviously asymmetrical with his body kicked Franky's head.
There was a loud sound of an iron whip in the air. Franky's face changed and he suddenly shouted, "Star Shield!"
His wrist and arm suddenly deformed, and a shield covered with star patterns appeared. The next moment, his whole body slammed back like a cannonball, pulling a gully more than ten meters long on the ground.
He got up from the ground like a lazy donkey, and then he saw countless finger guns penetrating the air. The air was like a broken mirror, and countless holes appeared. Dazzling sparks shot past Franky's burly body, and the wall behind him was shot into pieces and collapsed.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking me? "Franky gritted his teeth and looked at the man who came over.
The crutch-like weapon hit the marble floor, making a clanging sound. The man with a face full of foundation like a drama actor said gloomily, "I am the lion, a member of the Cp9 spy agency under the world government. Now I want to arrest you. Don't you know the reason?"
Franky's face changed dramatically, and the guess in his heart was suddenly confirmed. He bit his teeth, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Eisebagu is being arrested for the crime of endangering the stability of the world, and you are his junior brother hiding in the dark, so you can't get rid of the suspicion." The words of the lion drowned the last hope in Franky's heart, "Your only way to survive is to tell us everything you know. You should know what we want!"
"The blueprints designed by Pluton!" Franky gritted his teeth and said, "You are dreaming!"
Behind him, at the top of a towering building in the distance, a dazzling flame exploded, and the "G · C" character on the wall exploded and fell to the ground with a rumbling sound. The silent night was completely shattered …
