2 weeks had passed since the showdown in Enie's lobby. Luffy, Nami, Sanji and Chopper have lived in a hotel since then. Robin was so badly injured that she was still in the hospital. However, if her healing continued so well, she could soon be released. That was good news, but Luffy's smallest problem, because they still didn't have a new ship.
What none of the Straw Hat gang knew, however, was that Eisberg and Frankie had teamed up and built a new ship for them together.

When Frankie returned to his headquarters under the bridge that evening, he saw Usopp still lying on the couch. He took a deep breath and then walked over to him.
He sat down in an armchair across from him and said, "Long nose, you're going to kill me."
"Do you mind me? Am I annoying you? I can go."
"You've been lying here on this couch for 2 weeks and don't say a word. It's hard to say that you're annoying."
"What am I supposed to do otherwise?""My God. People think that you fought together with Luffy and thus would be a problem out of the world. But no. You are still lying here like a sip of water on the couch."
"Even if I went to see Luffy, he wouldn't take me into his crew any more."
"How do you know if you're not talking to him?"
"Why should I talk to him?"
"Do you want to perish here forever?"
"I can't get out of here anyway. Even if I talk to him."
"I knew that you would kill me at some point. Be careful. I wanted to see Luffy tomorrow anyway. You'd better come with me."
"What do you want with Luffy?"
"I'm not going to tell you. Think about it."
With that he went to sleep.

The next morning Usop still didn't want to go to Luffy's. It was too much for Frankie and he took Usopp on his shoulder and walked over to Luffy. Usopp moaned, but Frankie wasn't listening.

When they got to the hotel room, Frankie knocked on the door.
Nami opened the door and asked: "Frankie, what are you doing here?""Your long nose wants to tell you something."
"Do you have to come with me?"
"He can't do it alone."
Then Luffy came to the door and asked: "What does he want?"
Frankie put Usopp back on his feet and said, "Now talk to him."
Usopp pushed around: "Well ... It's like that ..."
Luffy interrupted: "It's okay. I'll take you back."
Usopp looked at him a little dumbfounded and Frankie said: "You see? It wasn't that bad after all."
Then he turned to Luffy: "I would like to kidnap you and your crew."
"Kidnap? Us? What is it about?"
"I don't want to say that here yet. If you want to know, you have to come with me."
Luffy shrugged and he and his crew followed Frankie.

A short time later they arrived at Dock 1.
Pauli was working with a couple of other shipbuilders on a ship when he got them to arrive. He looked over at the other ship whose iceberg was being worked on.
He said to himself, "Frankie, what are you doing?It is far too early. The ship isn't finished yet! "
Then he turned to his colleagues: "Can you handle this alone?"
They nodded and Pauli jumped off the ship and right in front of the feet of Luffy's crew.
He asked Frankie, "Can I talk to you in private for a minute?"
"But …"
Pauli took Frankie by the arm and pulled him a few meters aside.
Frankie asked, "Hey, what's this about?"
"Can you explain to me why you are towing Luffy and his crew here now?"
"Because I wanted to show Luffy his new ship."
"But it would have been enough if you had come here with them this afternoon. If he discovers the ship now, then we can forget the surprise."
"Even if he discovers the ship, he doesn't know that it should be his anyway. Besides, I thought the iceberg was already ready."
"Well, it doesn't go that fast. Firstly, he didn't work through the night and secondly, we can't do magic."
Then they heard Luffy yell, "Wow!Is the ship cool! "
"Hach ... I suspected it."
Then he ran up to them and stood in front of them and said: "Couldn't you just go through Water 7 again, or visit your friend in the hospital and then come back here sometime?"
Frankie said: "And you tell me I'll tell you everything. You tell even more."
Eisberg called from the ship: "It's all right, Pauli. Let them come here."
"But, Mr. Eisberg ..."
"Don't worry. At some point they would have discovered your ship anyway."
"If Frankie hadn't dragged her here, she wouldn't have seen it yet."
Eisberg came up to them and said, "It's not Frankie's fault. I told him last night that I would be finished this morning. I would have been if nothing had gotten in the way."
Luffy asked, "This is our new ship? Wow! Is that cool!"
Nami added: "But, Mr. Eisberg. We can't pay for the ship. We only have 100 million berries.And this ship will definitely cost more. "
Eisberg replied: "That's right. This ship would cost over 500 million according to the price list."
"But we don't have that much."
"No problem. The Shining Star is a small gift from the Galleera Company."
Sanji said: "A little present is good. What do we deserve it for? We're pirates."
"As a thank you for helping to rebuild the city and the shipyard."
"You must have thrown yourselves into the grief for this ship."
"Don't worry. There won't be any wages for the employees for a while, but we'll get it back."
Nami asked: "What is still missing on the ship? As I can see everything is on it. Even the figure of the galleon."
"You still had these orange trees on your old ship. They will be there again on the Shining Star."
"How long will it take?"
"Not long. Maybe half an hour."
"Good. Sanji and Chopper, you pick up Robin from the hospital.She is supposed to be released today. Zorro, you get our things from the hotel and pay the bill. "
They nodded and wanted to go.
But Eisberg stopped her: "Before you go, I want to make you an offer. Are you still looking for a ship's carpenter?"
"Uh ... yes. Why?"
"What would you think if I came with you?"
Pauli replied: "Yarn nothing. I also have a word to say about that."
"Not really. That's still my decision."
"But what will happen to the city? What will happen to the shipyard? It will all break out in sheer chaos. No. You stay here. I will go with Luffy."
Frankie replied, "When two people argue, the third one is happy."
"Why do you want to come with me now?"
"You don't know your way around the ship and Eisberg has his duties here. Nobody would miss me here anyway. Besides, I know the ship as well as Eisberg. After all, I worked with him on this darling."Nami replied: "I have to consult with my people first. Even if I already know who Luffy will choose."
With that she walked a few meters away with the others and asked: "So what do you say?"
Zorro replied: "So first we don't have a ship's carpenter and then we want three with us."
"And that's exactly what this is about. We have to choose one."
"I think we are taking iceberg with us."
"And why him?"
"Because I'll never really get along with Pauli and Frankie."
Sanji said: "Then I wouldn't be the only one you don't like."
"What do you mean by that?"
"What do I mean by that? That luckily you don't have a decision."
"Who would you take with you?"
"Frankie. He's a good fighter."
Then Usopp said, "I'm for Frankie too. He took me in when the Enie's lobby was over. Frankie is fine."
Then Chopper said: "I'm for Frankie too.He's just cool. He also knows our new ship. "
Nami said: "I am for Pauli."
Sanji asked: "Why for Pauli? He's an asshole!"
"That was once again clear that you react like that. Pauli is fine. Eisberg is responsible for this city and Frankie is a bully. But Luffy is the one who has to decide. Luffy, it's your crew. Who should our new member become?"
Luffy replied immediately: "I want Frankie. Do you want to know why?"
Everyone nodded. "
"Frankie is the one who stole our money, but he made it up to him by helping Eisberg build the Shining Star. He also fits our crew better than Eisberg and Pauli. He also had a sad childhood like we."
"I knew right away that you would make that decision. Then teach them."
They went back to the people waiting and Pauli asked: "How did you decide? Do you want to take me with you?"
Luffy shook her head and said, "No.We chose Frankie. "
"Why him and not me?"
"Frankie just fits better with our crew."
Frankie stuck his tongue out and then replied, "I'll go pack my things and say goodbye to my people."
Then he went.
Pauli asked: "Now let's be honest. What does he have that I don't have? I also proved that I can fight."
Sanji replied, "Frankie is easy to care for. He only needs three bottles of Coke before the next fight."
"I'm also easy to care for. I can go for days without food."
Eisberg added: "And after that you need to eat all the more."
"Now don't stab me in the back too."
"Pauli, accept Luffy's decision to take Frankie with him. You can always hire another ship."
"I can't. They usually already have their crew together."
"And I have my crew together too. Pauli, I need you. Now that Ecki and Lucci are no longer there.""If you think so."
With that he went back to work.
Nami asked, "What's the matter with him?"
"He seems a little sad. I wouldn't have let him go anyway. He's my only foreman now. I'll finish your ship now."
With that he left. Sanji, Chopper and Zorro also went to pick up Robin from the hospital and pay the hotel bill.

An hour later they were standing in front of the ship and wanted to get ready to leave. But there was a problem. Sanji and Chopper still weren't back with Robin.
Nami replied: "Actually, you should have been back a long time ago."
Eisberg asked: "Didn't you make a mistake about the day? Maybe she shouldn't be released today."
"But she will be discharged today. Perhaps the doctor hadn't seen her yet."
"While you wait you can still christen the ship."
Luffy asked, "Haven't you done that yet?"
"Usually we do that, but if the team is already there, they can do it
