Meanwhile, the other Straw Hats crew members had taken care of the enemies. All the CP agents were bruised, battered, and bleeding from multiple places; some even had broken bones and wide gashes on their bodies. It was a mutilating scene, and in a proper civil society, this would have caused quite the horror.
But here, this was normal, and it gave the Straw Hats a sense of victory. But not everyone had come out unscathed. Zoro and Nami had taken hits too, and they had a couple of bruises. Chopper, who had been guarding these men, was now free and started attending to them.
Franky and Iceburg, who had seen all of this, were rather impressed. The people had heard about the commotion, so they finally started to come out, and all they saw was more rubble. It was good that the people of Water 7 didn't know about the Buster Call, but they were definitely surprised to see the mess and two huge balls levitating in the air.
It was good that the Galley La Company had many workers. They were called to maintain order so that the people wouldn't come to the lower part of the city out of curiosity. Paulie and the other foremen had come down by now, and they had happy tears in their eyes. They were the only ones who knew of the Buster Call but didn't dare speak to the people.
The Straw Hats had convinced them otherwise when they took down the CP9 agents, but they were still skeptical. It was good that everything turned out fine. And thankfully, the whole fight had happened on the blind side of the city, so nobody caught a glimpse. And those who did couldn't convince the others that a huge buster had come to destroy their place.
Because at the end of the day, they believed that the government could never take such harsh decisions. But the warships and navy men floating in the sea said otherwise. Thankfully, Galley La took cognizance and drove the people away, saying it was official business. It was definitely a mess.
"What are these huge round things hanging in the air? Can anyone explain?"
"These are navy men. I tell you, this was a buster call."
"Oh! Shut up. At most, these are small warships that the government has sent for some deals. "It's sad that Aqua Laguna destroyed them all."
"There was no Aqua Laguna."
"So you are saying that the mayor lied to us?" Do you even know how many times he saved the city from destruction and revived it into its current glory? Why would he lie to us?"
"..."
The discussions were in full force, but the straw hats and the others were a little tired. Luffy had lost quite a bit of chakra too, like Ken, so he too needed rest. Taking down multiple CP agents together wasn't that easy, and maintaining a newly learned Haki also took much of their stamina.
Iceburg and Frabky wanted to thank them, but they just wanted a bit of rest. They were soon taken to the quarters of Galley La. They struck the pillow as soon as they arrived and went to sleep. Even Ken himself.
The next day
Everyone woke up late in the afternoon. Well, not everyone. The captain was still sleeping. Sanji, after waking up, got to work and started cooking because he was sure that their captain and the rest of the crew needed nutrition at this point. Ken Ussop went out to find ingredients for a huge banquet, and they came back after an hour in the sea.
The CP agents, including the CP9 agents, were jailed. Chopper had given all of them a strong sedative until it was decided what to do with them. Knowing that the straw hats had woken up, Iceburg and Franky both showed up on their doorstep.
"Thank you. Thank you for saving us and the water. I can never be more grateful to you." Iceburg and Franky both bowed down. It showed how grateful and thankful they were after being saved. The Franky family and the Galley La also came with food items for them to eat since they knew that the Straw Hats loved to eat.
It was already evening when Luffy finally woke up and started asking for food. Iceburg and Franky were still at the quarters and helping the Straw Hats with things around. When Luffy woke up, Franky was the first person to bow down and say
"Straw hat Luffy.. I have heard what my friends have tried to do to you. I am extremely sorry for their behavior."
"Bad behavior? What the hell are you talking about?" Luffy was confused.
"My friends attacked you when you took out money in exchange for gold." Franky said as he reminded Luffy of what had happened.
"Really? When did that happen?" Luffy was still confused. Ken had to come and hit him on the head. Even after two characters, his original problem of forgetting things remained constant. Franky was surprised that Luffy had already forgotten that and felt bad for his own friends, who weren't worth remembering.
"Well, that is okay. We do remember and forgive you. But you will have to do something in return." Ken interjected since this fool was too busy chewing meat.
"I know. You need to repair your ship and make it strong enough to set sail in the Grand Line and reach the last island." Franky said.
"No," Ken replied.
"Punisher Kenny. Are you doubting my shipbuilding skills?" Franky suddenly became serious and looked at Ken.
"Of course not. I am saying that not only will you have to board our ship but also join us on our voyage. We lack a shipwright, and you will be perfect for the job." Finally, Ken spoke out about the condition in which he had stopped Nami at that time, who was going to ask for the money in return for saving Franky.
Franky didn't expect such a thing from Ken.
