The Shipwrights surrounded Robin and one of the masked figures, who was wearing a bear mask. 

Shipwright: We've got you surrounded, pirates! 

Shipwright 2: Yeah! You can't escape this time. Give up! 

But suddenly they disappeared as one figure with a cape made them disappear! 

Back inside the mansion... 

Paulie: Who are you guys?! Where did you come from?! 

Skull Mask: We come from the shadows. 

Bull Mask: though we are agents of justice. Undercover Intelligence Agency, Cipher Pol No. 9. 

Paulie: No matter how you got in, you had to have run into some of our men. 

Bull Mask: There have been casualties. It's hard to remember the trivial details, though. 

Paulie: This is no longer as genteel as an assassination, is it. 

Bull Mask: I don't recall saying anything of the sort. We're here for Mayor Iceberg's precious item. Hand it over. Even if you don't, we'll have to kill you. 

In Iceberg's Room... 

The Bear Mask opened up a door through the wall as he and Robin entered. 

Iceberg: You startled me. I knew you'd come. But never from there. Did you use the same means as yesterday? I don't remember a door being there. 

Bear Mask: It's the power of the Door Door Fruit. However thick the wall, whenever I touch it, it becomes a door. As long as there's a wall, I can get in and out of anything. 

He shot Iceberg with a gun! 

Robin: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! 

Bear Mask: He isn't harmless if he has the energy to talk. Just as famous chefs are careful to prepare their ingredients in advance. So it is only professional of us to restrain him and keep him from acting against us unexpectedly before the signal. 

Iceberg: Is that the CP9 way?! 

Bear Mask: Good guess, you're right. 

Iceberg: I did something errible to the Straw Hat Boy, he wasn't a part of this, was he? 

Robin: It's nothing to concern yourself over. You just said you saw me last night, which was true. 

Bear Mask: We let you live yesterday so the blame would fall on teh Straw Hat Pirates. Besides, if we had killed you sooner, we wouldn't have found out where you had hidden the blueprints for a certain ship. For generations, they have been passed down from Shipwright to Shipwright, handed down secretly from master to apprentice. If you left that your life ere in danger, you would undoubtedly have tried to entrust the plans to someone. And the man you chose was Paulie, the foreman of Dock One. Our comrades are on their way to take care of him right now. 

Iceberg: So, everything went according to your plan? 

Bear Mask: I'll take care of the Shipwrights outside the door. So that we can finish this without a hitch, Nico Robin, you are to finish him. Once our comrades have the blueprints from Paulie, they will contact us. And when they do, you will take Iceberg's life. Then we will erase Pauli, since he knows the truth about this. The best part is, teh Straw Hats will take the blame for everything! 

Outside... 

(Y/N): Okay, let's move! 

You, Zoro, Nami, and Chopper were running from the Shipwrights. 

Shipwrights: THE STRAW HATS ARE HERE! 

Nami: WHERE IS LUFFY?! 

Zoro: LIKE WE KNOW! SHIT! I'LL HAVE TO TAKE THEM OUT! 

(Y/N): WHAT?! 

Chopper: ZORO! THEY'RE NOT OUR ENEMIES! 

Zoro: I'll just use the backs! 

Zoro turned his swords around and knocked out the Shipwrights! 

(Y/N): How can someone fight with a reversed blade? That could still be fatal! 

With Luffy... 

Luffy: AGH! 

He had been stuck between two buildings. 

Luffy: Finally got out! OKAY! I'M COMING, GUYS! GUM GUM ROCKET!!! 

He launched himself at the mansion as the explosions ran out! 

With Robin and Iceberg... 

Iceberg: This is certainly a surprise. Honestly, I never dreamed that we would meet like this, Nico Robin. 

Robin: Have we met before? 

Iceberg: Last night was the first time, but I've always wanted to meet you. 

He prepared to pull out his gun, but Robin pulled out multiple thanks to her Devil Fruit Powers! 

Robin: So you could kill me? 

Iceberg: Yes, before you destroy the whole world! Since antiquity, searching for, researching, and decoding the Poneglyphs has been classified as a high crime by the World Government. You know that too well! 

Robin: How do you know about the Poneglyphs? 

Iceberg: Simply knowing of their existence is a crime, but in all likelihood, the only person in the world who can decipher them is you. That's why the World Government put a price on your head. Even though, at the time, you were only an 8-year-old girl. In all the world, you're the only one who can reactivate the Ancient Weapons. 

Robin: You even know about them. 

Iceberg: You've already left the Straw Hats to work for the Government. A strange move for a woman said to have been relentlessly pursued by the Government, but that's got nothing to do with me. If, through the decoding of the Poneglyhs, the weapon is reactivated, it won't matter if the one who possesses it is just or evil. The result will be the same. You can't expect weapons to bring peace to the world of mankind. The whole world will be destroyed. 

Robin: You're right. I think taht myself, but you're way out of line! You don't know me at all. You have no right to tell me how I should research history. 

Iceberg: Yes, but I am the one who holds the blueprints for the Pluton. 

Robin: WHAT?! 

Iceberg: It was the name of a battleship that was built on this very island a long time ago. The weapon they made was too powerful. The ancient shipbuilding engineers thought that an opposing force would be needed in the unlikely event that it went out of control. So, they passed it down through the generations. The Government wants them, and they ended up going to extreme measures to get their hands on them. Tom, the man who entrusted the blueprints to me, always worried about a lone girl who escaped from Ohara 20 years ago. He thought she was a threat, despite her age, because she shared the ideas of the demons of Ohara. So, out of consideration for the weapon's makers, it's my duty to stop you. Now that the Government is aware of the existence of the Blueprints, it would be better simply to burn them. Because there's still a chance you may find a way to rea- AAAAAAAAAGH! 

Robin restrained him. 

Robin: If that is all you want to say, before you die, I beg to differ. Even if you had killed me, the blueprints would still be stolen. 

Iceberg: Well, you still fell for my ruse. 

Soon... 

Paulie was on the ground, bleeding heavily. 

Bull Mask: These are fake. 

Skull Mask: What an idiotic thing to do. 

Paulie: I don't know who you are, or where you're from, but I'd guess your big plan fell apart. Serves you bastards right. 

Bull Mask: Either way, we still can't let you- 

Luffy: AGH! 

Luffy was stuck in the wall. 

Paulie: STRAW HAT?! 

Luffy: Oh, hey, Rope Guy. Wait, what's going on here?! Who are these guys?! 

Skull Mask: It's Straw Hat Luffy. 

Bull Mask: Did you come all this way to take the blame? 

Luffy: IT WAS YOU GUYS! YOU'RE THE ONES WHO TOLD ROBIN TO DO THAT STU- 

Skull Mask: TEMPEST KICK! 

Luffy: WHOA! 

Luffy jumped out as the Skull mask kicked the wall! 

Luffy: AGH! 

The wall was cut down. 

Then the Bull Mask knocked Luffy down. 

Suddenly, they heard their Transponder's Snail. 

???: Hey, there's a change in plans. Go to Iceberg's room. And don't shoot him. 

They restrained Luffy and Paulie and left. 

Luffy: Hey, are you okay? 

Paulie: Yeah, I've survived worse. I'm sorry, Straw Hat, we were wrong. 

Luffy: It's fine, I'm used to taking the blame for something. Anyway, the Masked Guys took one of my friends. And I'm here to save her. 

Paulie: You're a strong guy, do you think you can beat them? 

Luffy: YEAH! 

Paulie: THEN HELP ME! I WON'T LET THOSE GOVERNMENT BASTARDS KILL ICEBERG!!! 

Luffy: You and Icepops are close? 

Paulie: He taught me everything I know. I wouldn't be the man I am today without him! 

Luffy: But you look like a mess! 

Paulie: Well, I want to beat them up as badly as you do! 

They both faught to get out of their restraints. 

Soon... in Iceberg's Room... 

Iceberg saw the Bull Mask appear as a pigeon landed on him. 

Iceberg: LUCCI?! 

Lucci revealed himself in a suit with his hat on his head. 

Lucci: You've let us down. 

???: You shoudl have handed over the blueprints when they asked nicely. 

The Skull Mask revealed himself as Kaku! 

???2: We wanted to leave town withotu hurting you. 

Kalifa was the next one revealed. 

And finally- 

???3: I suppose you're as stubborn as your Master. 

The Bear Mask was Blueno! 

Iceberg: KAKU! KALIFA! AND BLUENO FROM THE BAR! YOU'RE MEMBERS OF CP9?! 

Lucci: That's correct. 

Iceberg: ARGH! 

Lucci stabbed Iceberg in his wound. 

Lucci: Start talking. Where are the blueprints? If you don't tell us, then- 

He smirked. 

Lucci: I will have to kill someone else. 

Outside... 

Zoro: I used the back of the blade. 

(Y/N): DUDE! YOU CUT ALL THE SHIPWRIGHTS DOWN! 

Chopper: BUT (Y/N), HE'S SO COOL! 

(Y/N): Yeah, and idiotic. 

Zoro: HEY! I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE! 

Nami: Like that matters. We have to go! 

(Y/N): Okay, hang on. 

You picked up Nami and had Chopper hang onto your head. 

(Y/N): HERE WE GO! 

Nami and Chopper: AAAAAAAAAAAGH! NOT SO FAST! 

Back with Luffy... 

Luffy broke free of his restraints. 

Paulie: Hey, you did it. Now help me out here! 

Luffy: Okay. Are you sure, though? This could hurt. 

Paulie: JUST DO IT! 

With Iceberg... 

Kalifa: We've been undercover here for five years. Don't worry, we tookour jobs seriously. 

Lucci: Unfortunately, our time is at an end. WE will achieve our goal by any means necessary. It hardly matters who gets hurt along the way. This is all for justice. 

Iceberg: I know everything about you. Everyone knows about CP1-CP8 of Cipher Pol. The World Government's best agency of espionage and assassination. But CP9 is said not to exist. 

Lucci: Yes, because of a certain privilege, we cannot be open. If anyone doesn't cooperate, the World Government allows us to kill them. 

Iceberg: HOW COULD YOU?! THAT'S STILL A HORRIBLE THING TO DO! 

Lucci: That's only your perspective. We should have the right to use the weapon to put an end to these evils that plague the world. This is all for justice. And yet you seek to stop us? Even now, people all over the world are being attacked by pirates, and you won't help them. 

Iceberg: YOU'RE A FOOL, LUCCI! YOU'RE EVEN WORSE THAN PIRATES! YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT CONTROL, AND THAT'S IT! AAAAAAARGH! 

Lucci began to brutally beat up Iceberg. 

Lucci: You're not my boss anymore. And you have no right to question us. 

Kaku: Lucci, that was a bit of a stre- 

Lucci: Kaku, you know our goal. Check his pulse. 

Kaku: R-Right. I'm sorry. 

He checked to see if Iceberg was fine. 

Lucci: To tell you the truth, a short while ago we came up with a theory, all you have to do is listen. First, your ploy of giving us the fake blueprints, we have doubts about it. You guessed that the culprit was a member of the World Government who leaked the whereabouts of the fakes. But what if it had been someone with a grudge? The real blueprints would lose their owner and cease to be handed down. You've entrusted them to someone already. At the very least, you no longer have them near you. Or so we can assume. Even in the five years we've spent observing you undercover- 

Iceberg tried to move, but Kaku stopped him. 

Kaku: Please don't make this any harder. 

Lucci: The one entrusted with the blueprints would need better skills. Here is where this theory gets interesting. You had to believe that we had taken teh fake blueprints, and if you look closely, you see "Tom, Iceberg, and Cutty Flam." You may have planned to outwit your enemy with fakes, but you never dreamed that your enemy would be lurking close by. That was a major miscalculation on your part. This woudl be no more than a waste of paper to an intruder who slipped in yesterday or today with designs on the blueprints, but we have lived in Water 7 for five years, we're very intersted in these names. Tom's workers, the crew led by the legendary Shipwright known as Tom is shrouded in mystery. It was pretty easy to find out you were one of his apprentices, but now we know there are two of them. Cutty Flam, the one who had died a long time ago. He supposedly died, but he's alive. And his ame is Franky! 

Iceberg: You ... figured it out? 

Kaku: His pulse is spiking. 

Lucci: No matter how hard we investigated him, we weren't able to uncover his background. Our predictions relied on facts, you created the perfect blind spot with a dead man. The Franky Family comes here to sell lumber to the shipbuilding lot. With careful planning, you would have had countless chances to give him the Blueprints. Now that I think about it, you were his closest friend, and you had to keep him at a safe distance. If you gave them to your best friend, then I could see you're not leaving them to your trusty foremen. And it looks like your pulse is right on the head. 

Kalifa: Then let's go and find- 

(Y/N): HEY!!! 

You busted the door down as Luffy busted the wall down! 

(Y/N): ROBIN! 

Luffy: ROBIN! 

Robin: (Y/N)!? LUFFY?! 

Lucci: Damn it, what is it with these delays? 

Zoro: Luffy, where the hell where you? 

Chopper: (crying) ROBIN! 

(Y/N): Hey Iceberg. 

Iceberg: Straw Hats, Paulie. 

Paulie: Iceberg, what the hell is going on? Is that- LUCCI! KAKU! KALIFA! BLUENO! WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ICEBERG?! 

(Y/N): I knew there was something off about you, Pigeon Man! YOU'RE A GOVERNMENT DOG! 

Zoro: Hey, that's the Square-Nosed Guy! 

Kaku: Oh, so you do remember me? Well, I know about you, Roronoa Zoro. 

Lucci: The truth is, we're agents of the World Government. If we apologize, you'll forgive us, right, Paulie? 

Paulie: STOP FUCKING WITH ME! THE VOICE I JUST HEARD COMING FROM THE GUY WITH THE BULL MASK, IT WAS YOU! ALL THIS TIME YOU COULD TALK JUST FINE! 

He charged at Lucci, but- 

Lucci: FINGER PISTOL! 

Paulie: AGH! 

(Y/N): PAULIE! 

Luffy: ROPE GUY! 

Paulie: Wh-Why? Why would you- 

He collapsed. 

(Y/N): So, is this a special government ability? 

Lucci: Yes, this is the Six Powers, a martial art which, at the culmination of training, makes our bodies like weapons. We've trained in them that we go beyond even the Warlords. Now, time to- 

Luffy: NO! GUM GUM GATLINGL! 

Lucci: IRON BODY! 

Lucci defended himself, and Luffy's punches didn't do a thing! 

(Y/N): WHAT?! LUFFY LOOK OUT! 

Lucci: SHAVE! 

He disappeared and you tried to attack Lucci! 

(Y/N): SHOW ME ROCK! JAN KEN RO- 

Lucci: FINGER PISTOL! 

He stabbed you in the neck! 

(Y/N): AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! 

You coughed up blood! 

Straw Hats: (Y/N)!!! 

(Y/N): Bastard! 

Lucci: My goodness, you are strong. You earned my respect, (Y/N) (L/N). 

(Y/N): FUCK YOU! I DON'T ACCEPT IT FROM BASTARDS LIKE YOU! 

You dragged Paulie over! 

Lucci: Why save him? 

(Y/N): Simple, my Captain promised to help him take you bastards down. And you got our friend! 

Nami: Robin, why are you with them? These guys are with the Governemnt. 

Robin: I told you to stay away. Why couldn't you just listen? 

Zoro: Why, though? Why would you- 

Luffy: JUST GIVE BACK ROBIN ALREADY! 

(Y/N): YEAH! WE WON'T LET YOU LEAVE! 

You attacked, but Blueno used- 

Blueno: IRON BODY! 

Your attack did nothing to him! 

(Y/N): DAMN IT! 

Blueno: Is that the best you can do? With my Iron Body, your attacks do nothing to me. 

(Y/N): AAAAAAAAAARGH! GODSPEED! 

You increased your speed and tried to hit Blueno, but- 

Blueno: PAPER ART! 

He dodged every punch you threw at him. 

Chopper: He's moving like paper! 

(Y/N): AAAAAAAAARGH! JAN KEN ROCK! 

Blueno: SHAVE! 

He got behind you. 

Blueno: Too slow. 

(Y/N): HOLD STILL! 

Blueno: MOONWALK! 

He took to the sky. 

Kaku and Kalifa: TEMPEST KICK! 

Both Agents kicked you into the wall! 

(Y/N): GET DOWN! 

The Straw Hats ducked! 

Nami: That was just one kick! 

Kalifa: Impressed? Actually, don't be; that's sexual harassment. 

Nami: HOW?! 

Zoro: BASTARDS! 

Zoro attacked, but Kaku stopped him. 

Kaku: Sorry, Roronoa, but you're too weak. 

Zoro: WHY YOU! 

The two started clashing as Robin started to leave. 

(Y/N): ROBIN! DON'T GO! 

Robin: No, it's over. I won't be seeing you again. 

(Y/N): I DON'T BUY IT! I WON'T L- 

But Lucci grabbed you and pinned you to the ground. 

Lucci: A criminal like you needs to know their place. 

(Y/N): Yeah? How about this? 

You spat in his face, and he angrily punched you over and over. 

Lucci: LITTLE SHIT! Now you'll see what happens when you defy the World Government! 

He transformed into a giant leopard! 

(Y/N): Stay calm (Y/N), he's strong, but you've sparred with Pitou. He's no different from her. So, you're a Zoan Type user, huh? 

Lucci: Yes, I ate the Cat Cat Fruit, Model: Leopard. 

Luffy: he's massive! 

Lucci: Logia, Paramecia, Zoan. While there are many unique abilities, a characteristic of Zoan Type is the ability to strengthen one's own physical abilities. The more you train, the more your power is amplified. Zoan is the strongest for the aggressive! 

Kalifa: Lucci, the Shipwrights are coming. 

Lucci: They won't make it far. TEMPEST KICK! 

Lucci kicked the ceiling as- 

(Y/N): CRAP! 

You grabbed Iceberg and Paulie. 

(Y/N): Luffy! 

Luffy: YEAH! I KNOW! 

Luffy punched Lucci! 

Lucci: ARGH! 

He coughed up blood. 

Lucci: DAMN YOU! FINGER PISTOL! 

He stabbed Luffy! 

Straw Hats: LUFFY! 

Luffy was on the ground, holding his wound as Lucci grabbed Luffy and threw him out of the mansion! 

Luffy: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! 

Nami: LUFFY! 

Zoro: YOU BASTARD! 

Zoro tried to attack, but Lucci also sent him flying! 

(Y/N): ZORO! 

You hurried as fast as you could with the others as the mansion began to burn down! 

(Y/N): CP9. Those monsters are going to pay for this! 

Meanwhile... 

Franky: (crying) LONG NOSE MAN! YOU'RE BREAKING MY HEART! TO THINK YOU WOULD GO THIS FAR! 

Kiwi: WAAAAAAH! 

Mozu: And all the way from the East Blue too?! SO BEAUTIFUL! 

Usopp: Seriously, you guys are weirdos! 

Franky: I think this deserves a song. 

Franky brought out a guitar. 

Square Sisters: ROCK ON, BRO! 

Usopp: NOT FUNNY! 

Franky: I don't think so, you're pretty damn cool, Long Nose. I guess you're still mad about the beatdown and the 200 million we took? 

Usopp: No, I don't hold a grudge against you guys. 

Franky: Hey ... sorry to say ... we kind of used it. 

Usopp: Whatever. All I care about is taking care of Merry. 

Franky: Still, there is the fact that your friends destroyed my home and beat up my buddies. AND I WILL MAKE THEM PAY FOR THAT! 

Kiwi: CALM DOWN BRO! 

Mozu: Geez, take it easy! 

Franky: We should both sink our rage into this together. What do you say? You can crash with us! You're awesome! 

Usopp: NO! I may have quit being a Straw hat, but I'm still a pirate! 

Franky: REALLY! OH MAN! He's so cool! I made the right call before Aqua Laguna hit. 

Usopp: Is that the storm going on? 

Franky: Yeah, the sea comes up to the second floor of the houses. If you were in the back alleys or out on the cape, you wouldn't survive. 

Usopp: Thank you. I guess you're not that bad after all. Still, these guys have it rough. 

Franky: Happens once a year. If you dived down to hte ocean floor, but the back alleys you see above water now, are built on the roofs of the old town from hundreds of years ago. In the past, this island and the back alleys were on one complete island. Now the ocean's risen to the point where we're called the water metropolis. 

Kiwi: The truth is, the island is actually sinking. 

Usopp: SERIOUSLY?! That's dark! Even so, when it gets to that point, you can just take the sea train and move somewhere else. 

Franky: At least, you can now. The waters around here are so rough, it was almost impossible to even make trips between islands. It's all thanks to Tom, the guy who made the Sea Train. So, what will you do Bro? Are you going to leave after fixing the ship? 

Usopp: Of course! Someday, I'll go back to East Blue after I circle the globe with the Merry! 

Franky: You can't do that. It's too far. I took a good look at this ship, and I know it's done for. You need to retire her. 

Usopp: NO! DON'T TOUCH THE MERRY! SHE'S MINE! 

Franky: BRO! I MEAN IT! SHE CAN'T SAIL ANYMORE! I CAN'T LET YOU DIE, NOT AFTER WHAT YOU SAID! All ships from the simple skiffs to massiv ecalleons all share the same maxim. "I'll get you from this shore here to the next." A ship that can no longer fulfill that purpose is not a ship! 

He began to tear it apart! 

Usopp: STOP! SPECIAL ATTACK: EXPLODING STAR!!! 

Usopp blasted Franky back! 

Franky: DAMN IT! STOP IT! 

He pinned Usopp down! 

Franky: LOOK! 

He dragged Usopp into the water to show the bottom. 

Usopp then came up. 

Usopp: NO! HE'S WRONG! MERRY! I'LL FIX YOU! FOR AS LONG AS IT T- 

Franky: LONG NOSE STOP IT! THE KEE'S SNAPPED. THE OUTER HULL IS SLIPPING WITH IT! IT'S FALLING APART! WHY THE HELL DO YOU PERSIST IN TRYING TO FIX THIS BROKEN THING?! 

Usopp: SHUT UP! I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE RIGHT! I'LL SEND YOU FLYING! 

Kiwi and Mozu stared in shock. 

Franky: So ... you knew? 

Usopp: OF COURSE I KNEW IT! I KNEW THE MERRY WAS DONE FOR! 

He began to break down and cry. 

Usopp: I knew all along. When my friends told me it, I thought it was a bad dream. I didn't want to accept it. Then, I remembered on Skypiea, when there was no one around, I saw someone fixing the Merry. I didn't know who it was, and the next morning, I saw the entire ship was fixed. I know it sounds crazy, but I feel that was the Merry's incarnation. I don't care if you call me crazy. I- 

Franky: Tell me, was it someone with a wooden mallet? 

Usopp: You believe me? 

Franky: You bet, Bro, that was a Klabautermann. 

Usopp: What's that? 

Franky: They're sprites who live only on ships that have been truly cared for and treated well. I guess you could say they're incarnations of the ship. They hold mallets in one hand, and a sailor's raincoat, and when misfortune befalls teh ship, he runs around and warns everyone. They say he saves lives, but to be honest, this is a first for me. The ship is grateful to its crew in proportion to how well they've treated it. I bet the Merry really wants you to get to the other shore. And the fact that it cared about you guys so much that it took on a human shape means you made it happy. 

Usopp: Merry, it was you. You came and talked to me that night. 

Franky: In the end, you knew your ship was at its limit, and you still chose to split from your friends. 

Usopp: I ... was stupid. It's not easy to be rational when you're in the heat of the moment. 

The Square Sisters cried. 

Kiwi: You're so passionate! 

Mozu: I could cry- 

But then they stopped. 

Franky: We got company. 

Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa, and Blueno arrived, with the bloodied bodies of Zambai and the rest of the Franky Family behind them.
