Chapter 284 Iceberg

"What are you doing!" Luffy knelt on the ground and shouted at Kalifa.

"You scared me." Nami also whispered.

Only Usopp, who was accidentally kicked in the face, lay on the ground with a bruised face.

"How could one of the world's best shipbuilding technicians become this or that?" Kalifa asked.

Khalifa's kick attracted a crowd of onlookers.

"I'm sorry, I accidentally lost my temper, but Mr. Iceberg is respected by the citizens, so please don't be too rude." Kalifa said.

"Don't make Kalifa angry. Once this woman gets angry, she can't tell friend from foe." Half of Iceberg's face was blown by Kalifa's foot, and his nose and face were bruised and swollen on the spot, even worse than Usopp's.

"He got kicked even harder!" Usopp shouted as he and Luffy raised their hands in protest.

"You are more rude!" Luffy shouted.

"Anyway, you are Mr. Iceberg." Nami quickly changed the subject, "Please look at this, it's a letter of introduction."

After reading the letter of introduction, Bingshan tore it up.

Everyone was shocked and rushed to plead for mercy.

"This lip print is unpleasant. Granny Kokoro and I have been drinking buddies for many years." Iceberg said, "Anyway, Kaku has gone to inspect the ship. The work is in progress. Don't worry. I'm free today anyway, so I'll take you to visit the factory."

As they walked towards the factory gate, Usopp discovered that the money was missing.

"What's wrong, Usopp?" Nami asked, turning back in confusion.

"Money, money, the money is gone..." Usopp said nervously.

The two voices caught Luffy's attention.

"Over there!" Usopp pointed at the two Blues who were leaving, then ran to the shore and shouted, "Hey, who are you guys? Why are you taking other people's money so casually? Hey, stop right there!"

"That's what they call not showing off your wealth. Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Wang Hao grabbed Usopp who was about to chase after him and said comfortingly.

"The Franky family." Iceberg said as he looked at the thief who was leaving.

"Those bags are ours," Luffy called out.

"Stop, Barry!" A few people were chasing a man just passing by on the waterway. "I won't let you get away today."

"Didn't I tell you to give me a few more days?" the man named Barry said as he ran.

"What is that?" asked Bingshan.

"It's Barry," Khalifa said. "He's being chased by his creditors again."

"Did you give the money to those guys?" Luffy asked as he approached Usopp.

"How is that possible? It was stolen!" Usopp shouted with fangs.

"What?" Luffy looked at the two Blues.

"Idiot Luffy, the money is for repairing the Merry, and the Merry was given to us by Miss Kaya. It has a special meaning to Usopp, so Usopp will be very anxious." Wang Hao chopped Luffy's head with a knife, "Your reaction is too slow, you look unhurried, if it was your straw hat that was stolen, would you still react like this?"

"How is that possible! I'll get the money back right now!" Luffy shouted.

"But any one of them can kill you with one punch, how can you chase them?" Wang Hao asked.

"I won't die!" Luffy said confidently.

"No, no, no, killing you is no harder than killing a chicken." Wang Hao said, shaking his head.

While they were talking, Barry was chased onto the bridge and just jumped onto Franky's Blue. However, Barry, who was using rope skills, was grabbed by the rope by two of Blue's brothers and thrown into the water.

"Damn it!" Seeing this, Luffy reached out to catch the fleeing Franky family, but was stopped by a hand.

"I'll go." Lucci stopped Luffy and said to the pigeon on his shoulder.

Having said that, Lucci chased after him in an instant.

However, Lucci, who had not been judged as an enemy, had not been strengthened, and only knew six styles, was actually knocked into the water by the two younger brothers, which made Lucci terrified.

"Well... it's my turn." Wang Hao sighed when he saw this and raised his hand to form a seal.

The two Blues' eyes glowed red, and they turned around and swam back uncontrollably.

"Oh my, you're back!" Luffy shouted when he saw this.

"No, my brother said that we should not offend Bingshan."

"This is two hundred million."

"We won't give up easily. Now, it's better to leave!"

Seeing that they couldn't make Blue work, the two younger brothers were reluctant to take the money into the water, so they jumped into the water and ran away.

Wang Hao used illusion to control the two Blues to land, and Usopp hurried forward to collect the money.

Despite many twists and turns, the Frankie family's first investment ended in failure.

"Oh, that's great, Usopp." Luffy said with a smile.

"Don't make it sound like it's someone else's business. This is our 200 million Beli." Usopp grabbed Luffy's face and pulled it for a long time.

"That's right. Besides, why didn't you rush over and take it back immediately!" Nami also grabbed the other half of Luffy's face and pulled it long.

"But, that Grid said it would go," Luffy said, pointing at Lucci.

"Anyway, I'm sorry." Iceberg put the Tyrannosaurus Rex into his pocket, "This city has caused trouble for you."

"Anyway, it's good enough that you weren't kidnapped by Franky's family." Kalifa also comforted.

Usopp and Nami let go of Luffy, and Nami looked at Kalifa.

"Who were those people dressed strangely just now?" Nami asked.

"The Frankies are in the ship-dismantling business," Kalifa explained.

"Dismantling business? I can't believe they are such serious ship workers." Nami complained.

"Yes, because their side job is bounty hunting. Once they see pirates entering or leaving this city, they will cause trouble. They are a group of troublesome guys."

"As long as we can defeat the pirates who come to this city, we can get their pirate ship, dismantle it and sell the usable wood at a low price. This is the business that Franky's family does."

"How bad! Isn't this going to disintegrate the entire pirate group?" Usopp shouted.

"Once you become their prey, nothing will be left of you." said Iceberg.

"And they look pretty powerful," Luffy said.

"They are not so powerful usually. I don't know why." Iceberg also looked puzzled. "Today, even Lucci is no match for him. And they are just his subordinates. The one who is behind them is Franky, the head of the family."

While chatting, Lucci and Barry swam back to the shore, and under the introduction of the pigeon Hadley and the unpleasant look on Rob Lucci's face, they began to visit Dock No. 1 together.

While everyone was visiting, Usopp, who was holding two money boxes, was attracted by a cannon. The lurking Franky family members decisively pinned Usopp down, robbed the money and ran away. Usopp went to chase them, but was beaten by the group and thrown by the waterway.

After the inspection, Kuchi returned to Dock No. 1 with the worst news. Nami looked for Usopp but couldn't find him. Instead, she saw a worker returning two money boxes.
