Waste Ship Island.
Bang—
The door was violently pushed open by Iceburg.
Tom the merman, who was eating breakfast and preparing to head to the judicial ship, and Kokoro the mermaid both looked at him.
Iceburg was covered in sweat:
"This is bad, Mr. Tom!"
"Franky's ship attacked the judicial ship!!!"
Tom the merman abruptly stood up:
"What!"
Kokoro was also shocked:
"That kid Franky went into town to buy things."
"How could he have done it."
Iceburg gritted his teeth:
"Of course it wasn't him."
"But that's precisely why it's more troublesome!"
Tom the merman rushed out without stopping:
"Come with me to stop them, Iceburg!!!"
His plump body possessed unusual agility. Was he a pirate, or... the government?
------
The Judicial Ship.
The ship had already turned into ruins.
A raging fire engulfed the entire vessel. The presiding judge, blackened by smoke and bleeding from his head, was rushed out under the protection of numerous soldiers.
"Who in the world!!!"
"Are you declaring war on the World Government!"
"Hurry and leave the port, Presiding Judge!"
"No! You go save people first!"
"There are still many citizens on board!"
"This..."
"Go quickly!!!"
"Yes!"
"Squad one! Squad two! Follow me!!!"
------
On the fleet that attacked the judicial ship.
A masked commander wearing a cloak spoke into the den den mushi:
"The attack on the judicial ship was successful."
Spandam's voice came from the other end:
"Excellent, proceed immediately to phase two."
"Everything is for justice, hahahahaha!!!"
The masked agent replied:
"Yes!"
He commanded the fleet to quickly withdraw and head towards Waste Ship Island...
Standing on top of a building on the island.
Spandam, who was observing, smiled sinisterly:
"Now, we just have to wait for the trial."
"Tom's Studio..."
------
The attacking fleet made a turn and sailed towards Waste Ship Island.
As they were about to arrive, the CP agent piloting the ship saw figures rushing towards them in the distance. He reported to the commander:
"Two people are running towards us."
The commander took the binoculars and looked:
"It's Tom the merman, they are the targets this time."
"Disembark from the rear, do not let them discover us."
All the CP agents piloting the ships replied:
"Yes!"
Then, they systematically dived into the sea from the rear of the ship and disappeared...
The out-of-control ships slowed down. By the time Tom and Iceburg rushed over and boarded, they found no one there...
"A frame-up..."
"But why is there no one here."
"They were clearly seen approaching."
"What's going on."
Two more ships appeared in the distance.
Iceburg's brow furrowed:
"Those are also Franky's ships."
Tom the merman suddenly widened his eyes and lunged forward:
"Iceburg! Danger!!!"
Boom boom boom—
The two most powerful and slowest-moving Franky Battle Ships unleashed a fierce bombardment on the ships that arrived first.
The connected vessels instantly became a sea of fire, as if to bury the two of them.
------
Franky, who had been rushing back from the city following the direction of the ships, saw only a sea of fire...
"Damn it, the Franky Battle Ships are destroyed beyond recognition."
"Who is it!!!"
He suddenly saw two figures, covered in blood and water, unconscious on the shore.
"That's!!!"
He rushed to the shore and shook the two of them:
"Iceburg!"
"Mr. Tom!!!"
Iceburg, protected by Tom, sustained lighter injuries:
"Cough cough..."
He regained consciousness with a slight dizziness:
"Damn it..."
He staggered to his feet, his face grim, and walked towards Franky.
Franky was somewhat bewildered:
"Hey... are you alright."
Bang!
Iceburg punched Franky to the ground.
His face contorted with pain and anger as he lunged at Franky, grabbed his collar, and shouted:
"You idiot!!!"
"I told you long ago, I've warned you countless times!"
"Why didn't you listen!!!"
"Why did you put dozens of these deadly weapons on the island!!!"
"Why!!!!!!"
His body seemed to lose all strength, and he collapsed onto the ground...
"Those government intelligence operatives from before..."
"They used your ships..."
"It's all over..."
Franky's pupils contracted to their extreme, and he trembled uncontrollably:
"You... you were by my ships..."
"Mr. Tom..."
Iceburg looked at Franky and said with tears in his eyes:
"Our technology creates weapons."
"Even if it wasn't your intention."
"But weapons are indiscriminate, they can harm even those closest to us..."
"We've all been tricked by the government."
"We will be made the culprits of the judicial ship's attack."
"Because they want the blueprints, they intend to arrest Mr. Tom for interrogation."
"At this point, can you still dismiss the creation of weapons so casually!!!"
"If Mr. Tom is taken away..."
"I will never forgive you, Franky!!!"
Franky clutched his head in despair:
"Ah—!!!!"
The unconscious Tom the merman, who had woken up at some unknown point, shouted:
"Stop talking!!! Iceburg!!!"
He was gasping for breath:
"Don't blame him, Franky is not at fault."
"This..."
His words were suddenly interrupted by a mocking voice:
"Oh dear, apologies."
"To disturb everyone, no, to disturb you criminals."
"Please come with us."
Franky angrily lunged forward:
"Spandam, you bastard!!!"
Spandam said leisurely:
"It's Spandam, criminal."
"Take them away!!!"
Several CP agents behind him pounced...
------
Water Seven, Central Avenue.
Because the judicial ship was destroyed, the trial was moved to the scene.
Spandam pushed the culprits to Central Avenue, while reassuring the surrounding crowd:
"These are the attackers, everyone, please don't worry."
"They have already been arrested by our brave CP5."
He walked up to the presiding judge and extended his hand:
"Hello, nice to meet you for the first time."
"I am the director of CP5, Spandam."
The presiding judge shook his hand:
"You've arrived at a good time, you've been a great help."
Spandam smiled:
"Not at all, we are all family."
"It's what we should do. Why don't you hand them over to us for trial later? We will certainly complete the mission with flying colors."
The presiding judge nodded in agreement.
After all, he was already old and had been injured in the bombardment, making him feel somewhat powerless.
Before long, a makeshift courtroom was set up.
The presiding judge rapped his gavel and began his speech:
"First of all, regarding the Sea Train incident, I must say it was done beautifully."
"In the future, it will contribute greatly to the development of Water Seven."
"And this would have exempted you from the crime of building ships for the Pirate King."
"Why would you add to your sins."
He expressed a sense of regret and disappointment.
Franky angrily stood up:
"What a joke!!!"
"We are not the ones who attacked the judicial ship!"
"It was Spandam next to you!!!"
Spandam pointed at himself in surprise:
"Me?"
