"Ah!~ Please listen to me sing a song of 'Pirate Benevolence'." Franky was moved again and took out the ukulele.

"Yeah, big brother." The Cube sisters flattered him again.

"So you're kidding me?!" Usopp growled with his fangs.

"Really? I'm doing this for your own good," Franky said.

"It has nothing to do with you." Usopp put down his hammer and said, "You are the one. You still have the mind to chat here? Isn't the tsunami coming soon?"

"That's why," Franky said, "when the water gods come, everyone must help each other. From now until midnight, the water will at least reach the second floor of the houses. If we go to the back streets or the strait now, it will be over in a while. Just leave the boat here and don't worry."

"Thank you, you helped me a lot." Usopp thanked him.

"Idiot, you're so polite." Franky shouted.

"But you guys have to endure these floods every year, and it's hard work too," Usopp said.

"Everyone is used to taking shelter once a year." Franky put down the cup and said, "What's really worrying is the rising water level every year..."

Frankie expressed his concerns.

"To be precise, it's not the water level that's rising, it's the island's foundation that's sinking," said Moz.

"If this continues, the city we live in now will gradually become uninhabitable," Jiwei said.

"Really?" Usopp pondered, "This beautiful water city isn't all good. But even if something goes wrong, we can still take the sea train and move to another place."

"You can say that now," Franky said, "but the sea train has only been around for a decade. Before that, it was not easy to cross the sea, and communication between islands was naturally rare. People just lived quietly on this isolated island, waiting for the land to sink completely. Apart from this anxiety about the future, there is the sea train 'Smoking Tom'."

"Now there is no need to record the pointer. Anyone can cross the sea at any time. This is a breakthrough." The Cube sisters also said.

"I see, the Sea Train is really amazing." Usopp exclaimed.

"Water City has been reborn." Franky said, "This is all thanks to Tom, the great shipbuilder who invented the sea train. We were all saved by him."

The relationship was harmonious, and Jiwei poured a cup of tea and invited Usopp again.

"Ah, sorry, I'll come after this is fixed." Usopp turned his head and said, "Ah, it hurts, my hand was hit..."

"Well, buddy, let's get to the point." Franky sipped his tea and watched Usopp jump up and down, "After you fix this ship, what are you going to do?"

"Why do you ask me what I do? Of course I want to go on adventures with it and return to my hometown, the East China Sea, one day." Usopp said, "Although I can't go around the world, I have been to the Grand Line after all. Mr. Ye can be considered to have returned home in glory. I will hold my head high..."

"No, you can't go back." Franky interrupted Usopp and said, "The East China Sea is too far away."

Franky put the cup down, stood up, and walked towards Usopp.

"When I fished the boat out just now, I observed it carefully. The boat is beyond saving. Carrera's assessment is correct." Franky said, "As a dismantler, I suggest you dismantle it."

"You must be joking." Usopp said nervously.

"Let me help you dismantle this ship." Franky pinched his fingers.

"What, what did you say?" Usopp looked at Franky coming over, "Wait, what are you doing! Stop!"

As he said that, he took out a slingshot.

"I said I would help you dismantle this ship." Franky said again.

"Are you kidding? I won't let you do whatever you want! Merry is my ship." Usopp shouted.

"No, it's not a ship anymore," Franky said.

"What did you say?" Usopp looked at Franky in shock.

"I just asked you what you were going to do with this repaired boat. If you wanted to go out to sea with it to die, I wouldn't have said anything more." Franky said, "But if you said you wanted to take it back to the East China Sea, I'm going to stop you, brother."

"This ship can't reach the next coast. Listen carefully, ships are meant to fulfill the agreement of sending people from one coast to the next. In other words, a ship that can't send people to the next coast..." Franky jumped onto the side of the ship.

"Hey, stop it!" Usopp yelled.

"A ship that can't reach the next coast is no longer a ship!" Franky tore off a piece of the ship's side.

"Brother!" the Cube sisters shouted.

"Stop it!!!" Usopp yelled, "You bastard, get away from my Merry!"

As he said that, he fired a gunpowder star at Franky.

Franky was repelled, shook his head and looked at Usopp, then rushed over: "Asshole, if you don't understand, use your own eyes to see clearly!"

As he said that, he threw Usopp into the water.

A moment later, Usopp silently climbed ashore, walked to the torn side of the ship without saying a word, dragged the side back to the Merry with difficulty, pressed it back to its original position, and picked up a hammer to repair it.

"I'll fix you right now, I'll fix you right now, no matter how many times, no matter how many times, I'll fix you." Usopp muttered to himself, swinging his hammer, "no matter how many times."

"Hey, stop it, Long Nose. You've seen the condition of the bottom of the boat. The outer plate is tilted with the broken keel as the center, and the ribs are in tatters. A hull like this will fall apart with just a wave. A layman like you who are just making minor repairs..." Franky kept chattering.

"crash"

Usopp threw the hammer onto the nail box, turned around and glared at Franky: "You're so annoying! I don't want to hear another word from you! If you keep talking I'll beat you up, little bastard!"

"Are you still awake, Usopp?" Wang Hao suddenly said, "Even if Luffy hurt Merry before, I would ask him to eat the Rasengan, but I can't change anything. As its repairman, you should know Merry's condition better than me. Now, stay with Merry more."

"tick, tick"

Usopp seemed to have drained all his strength, tears dripped onto the ground, and then he knelt on the ground.

"Actually... I know everything." Usopp said crying.

"What did you say?" Frankie asked.

"Actually, actually, I know everything. I, I, I knew a long time ago that Merry was dying!!!" Usopp shouted.

"Actually, actually, I knew it a long time ago... When I heard the test results, I was sure that what happened that day was true."

"At first, I thought it was just a dream and wondered how such a thing could happen in the world."

"One night, in a moonlit forest filled with thick fog, the sound of a mallet was heard. The sound came from an empty boat, a scarred boat that had washed ashore."

Usopp began to slowly recount what he saw and heard on Sky Island.
