Chapter 161 Framed

In Water Seven, Franky held a piece of Watery Meat in his hand, eating as he slowly made his way towards Shipwreck Island.

Last night, Mr. Tom said he and Iceberg were going to look for materials on Shipwreck Island today. He happened to be wandering around this area, so I went over to check it out.

However, when he arrived at the large bridge connecting to Shipwreck Island and looked towards the island, his pupils suddenly widened, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

He saw a large group of ships that he knew very well firing cannons and pitchforks at the abandoned ship island from the sea not far away.

In an instant, a series of explosions rang out on the abandoned ship island.

The juicy meat in Franky's hand fell to the ground.

Who is it!

"Yes, I'm using my boat..."

"hateful!!"

Franky immediately rushed toward the abandoned ship island, his eyes filled with gloom.

"Who on earth is messing around with my ship?!"

After firing their shells at Shipwreck Island, the Franky-class warships turned their attention to the government ships moored nearby.

Whoosh!!

Several shells were fired and eventually landed on the government ship, where they exploded, sending up plumes of smoke.

Somewhere in Water Seven, Spandam watched this scene with a sinister look in his eyes, a sinister smile on his face.

"Alright, let's begin the trial, Tom's Studio!!"

When Franky arrived at the abandoned ship island and saw two familiar figures, one large and one small, lying on the ground in the distance, his pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and he accelerated several times as he ran forward.

Before long, they arrived near the two men and saw Iceberg and Tom lying on the ground, covered in wounds. Tom, in particular, had blood all over his body and a pitchfork stuck in his chest.

Countless drops of blood flowed from the wound.

"Hehe~"

Franky was breathing heavily when he suddenly shouted.

"What on earth is going on?!"

He immediately went to Tom, knelt down, and called out:

"Mr. Tom, Mr. Tom, are you alright?!"

However, no matter how much Franky called out, Tom's eyes remained tightly closed. If it weren't for the fact that he was still breathing, Franky would have thought that his beloved Mr. Tom was dead.

But the situation is definitely not good now; Tom has fainted.

He didn't dare to directly pull the iron fork out of Tom's chest. Although he wasn't a doctor, he still knew basic common sense.

At this point, pulling out the fork could cause severe bleeding and worsen the injury.

Iceberg, who was standing nearby, woke up groggily when he heard Franky's shouts. During the attack, Tom had helped him withstand a lot of damage, so his injuries were not very serious, at least compared to Tom's.

Iceberg struggled to his feet, and Franky, hearing the commotion, immediately looked over and asked impatiently:

"What on earth happened? Why did this happen? Why is my ship...?"

"Spandam's intelligence agents used your warships!"

At this point, Franky's pupils contracted again, and his expression gradually turned from fear to self-reproach.

"Were you injured by my ship? Mr. Tom was injured by my ship..."

Franky collapsed to the ground, unable to utter a single word.

Iceberg came up to him, patted his shoulders with both hands, and whispered:

"Our technology can create murder weapons, even if it's not your intention. A murder weapon can indiscriminately harm people, friend or foe, even if the person is someone very important to you!"

"We've been set up by the government. They wanted the blueprints, so they wanted to arrest and interrogate Mr. Tom. Now..."

"You still want to say you're not wrong, Franky?!"

Iceberg suddenly roared at Franky.

"If Mr. Tom gets taken away, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!!"

Franky covered his head with both hands, his face extremely pale.

At that moment, a series of sounds came from not far away. The two looked over and saw countless CP5s heading in their direction. Soon they arrived around them and surrounded them.

"Tom's Studio, you are suspected of assaulting a judicial vessel. We are now arresting you and taking you to the island for questioning!"

"I advise you not to resist, or our bullets won't have eyes!"

The CP5, led by CP5, immediately began with threatening words.

Upon hearing this, Franky jumped up from the ground, glaring angrily at the crowd, and shouted:

"What a joke, it was clearly you guys..."

Bang! !

A dull thud followed as Iceberg punched Franky in the face, sending him flying several meters.

"You damn iceberg, what are you doing?!"

Franky was furious and was about to question Iceberg about why he hit him when he saw Iceberg already standing in front of him, his face almost touching his own, less than ten centimeters away.

Iceberg stared intently at Franky, and spoke in a low voice:

"Frankie, are you trying to kill us?"

"You think you can handle so many armed government personnel? Mr. Tom is still unconscious!!"

"If we don't resist, they might not kill us. But if we do resist, they can just accuse us of attacking government personnel, and we'll all be finished!"

After hearing Iceberg's words, Franky calmed down a bit. Although his face was still ugly, he was no longer as angry as before.

"whispering sound!!"

The CP5 member who had just spoken chuckled, raised his hand, and gave an order to the people behind him:

"Arrest them all and take them to the island to await judicial judgment!!"

Meanwhile, Kyle and his crew's warships also arrived at the waters of Water Seven, and the shape of Water Seven could already be seen in the distance.

As they drew closer, the outline of Water Seven gradually came into view.

When they saw what Water Seven looked like, everyone's eyes widened slightly, filled with a hint of shock.

From the outside, the city of Water City appears as if its buildings are submerged by seawater.

The city is crisscrossed by waterways, forming a vast and complex network of waterways. These waterways not only facilitate transportation on flat water surfaces but also extend downwards from higher elevations, connecting various areas of the city.

It looks incredibly spectacular, perfectly highlighting the characteristics of a water town.

"Is this Water Seven? It's truly magnificent!"

Chopper spoke with an expression of admiration.

The expressions of the others were similar, almost all of them praising the city of Water City.

Kyle's gaze was also sweeping over Water Seven, even though he had already seen what Water Seven looked like in the original anime, and it was a more prosperous Water Seven ten years later.

But that's just anime, this is reality, and the feelings are completely different between the two!

Suddenly, Kyle caught a glimpse of black smoke rising in the distance out of the corner of his eye, and his gaze sharpened.

Kayle immediately unleashed his Observation Haki, and the next moment, without saying a word, he transformed into a purple bolt of lightning and charged towards Water Seven.

"What's Kyle up to now?!"

Sanji raised an eyebrow slightly.

Suddenly, a smug voice came from the side...
