Franky

Gray had completed his meal with a comedy show as a bonus and met Ace, someone he had never expected to meet. He was already stuffed and needed to pay his bills.

The waiter showed him the bills in elegance. It was a bill of fifty thousand belly. Gray had the belly with him, but he came up with a plan to get to the bank.

Gray placed his hand in his pocket and acted surprised. It was perfectly believable acting. He pretended that something was wrong and kept checking his pants pockets.

Gray's odd expression alerted the waiter to the fact that something was amiss. He was smart and had met numerous people who had misplaced their money. Gray was not simple, the waiter realized, because he didn't fear those pirates and was not intimidated by Ace.

"Sir!, Is there an issue?"

Gray made a complicated expression as he spoke with the waiter. He began practising his Oscar-worthy acting abilities.

"I appear to have misplaced my money. I need to withdraw it from the bank, but I'm not sure where is the bank."

The waitress was friendly. He realized Gray had no intention of fleeing and decided to back him up. He chose to go with him despite the possibility that he was mistaken.

"If you don't mind, I can accompany you to the bank."

'Exactly as expected!'

"That would be great. Please show me the path."

Gray was taken to the bank by the waiter. The bank was next to the restaurant. They arrived within five minutes.

'Damn! I could have gotten here if I had traveled a little further.'

Gray gave belly to the waiter from his pocket; he had reached the bank and didn't need any further company. After handing the belly without entering the bank, the waiter looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.

Gray smirked as he disregarded him and proceeded into the bank. He needed to withdraw his money and order a boat. He needed to hand the money to the broker Sengoku had arranged for him.

Gray approached reception and handed over the check. Gray withdrew a total of 500 million belly. There were five suitcases, each containing a hundred million bellies.

'I'm hoping I don't get robbed on the way to the shipwright.'

Gray was carrying all five suitcases full of money; he needed to get to Shipwright and pass over the money as quickly as possible. Carrying such a ridiculous quantity of money would only cause him difficulties in every way imaginable.

If the money is gone, I don't want to flood the entire island in quest of it. Even if that happens, I need to restrain myself because this island is built on a ship.

Gray exited the bank and began strolling in search of Shipwright. He spotted a number of people staring at him. He was well aware that they were chasing his money. After holding five suitcases, it would be surprising if he didn't draw attention to himself.

'Many folks are after me this time.' 'Do they think they can rob me?'

He believed that beating them was a piece of cake for him, but there was no certainty that one of them wouldn't escape with a suitcase while he was fighting them. He knew that beating them while keeping money from being stolen would be a task in and of itself.

'Let me surprise them.'

Gray spread his pair of blue wings and flew towards the blue sky. He noticed groups of people staring at him. Many of his pursuers had no choice but to watch him soar off in front of them.

"You rats are not going anywhere. If you dare, wait for me here. I'll be back in a few hours."

The robbers didn't have time to waste on him anymore, and they weren't interested in battling anything apart from in robbery. Gray wanted to teach them a lesson, but they left without giving a thought.

'They are without a doubt robbers, involved in robbery and other unproductive acts but don't tamper with if opponent is strong.'

Gray was preparing to take off towards Shipwright when he was attacked by a metal chain with an arrowhead. He avoided it. A hail of bullets was fired at him. He actively began deflecting gunfire. He had an observation Haki that made things easier for him.

Gray took a peek around and realized it was Franky and some of his family. Gray was well clear that he was up to no good, and he had no intention of losing his money while he was here. If he lost his money to Franky, the main storyline would be thrown off.

He was now being hit with canon balls. He avoided the canonball, but it blatted as soon as he did, and the metalchian wrapped an arrowhead around his leg.

"Super canon!"

A large canon ball was fired towards Gray, followed by tiny canon balls from all locations. He was completely surrounded. He intended to utilize arnament haki to punch through the canonballs because being morphed here would simply draw the notice of the marines.

Canonballs approached him. He'd hardened his hand and tossed the canon balls away.

"Super thunder 1,000,000 volts."

Thunder struck Gray, and it was transmitted through the iron chains. Due to the shock, he lost his concentration and was hit by "Frank's usuper canon ball!" Gray then lost all of his money, which the Franky family took.

Gray fell into the water, which flowed into Water 7 like stream.

'Dammit! You will pay for this franky and his party. I guarantee you that.'

Gray was thrown into the river and powerless to do anything. He consumed devil fruit. He could sit here and wait for someone to get him out of here. His eyes began to close gradually.

'On land, sea, and air, he is a pirate who is known as the strongest creature among all living creatures.'

Gray opened his eyes and tried to move his body, realizing that he had difficulty moving, but that if he put enough effort into it, he could move his body. This was Kaido's physique; not even the sea could hold him back.

Gray still had wings on his back. He began to flap them with all the force he could generate, shooting himself out of the river and up into the sky.

"Hah!"

"Hah!"

"Cough!"

"Cough!"

Gray landed on top of a house, knelt, and punched himself to begin coughing up mouthfuls of water. After that, he took a big breath and relaxed himself.

'I can't cause mayhem while I'm here.' 'This island devastation should not be caused by me.'

I don't recall everything, but I do remember a few specifics, and Franky must have been using the money to buy Adam's wood. Before he buys the wood, I need to find the supplier and get my money back.'

Gray has just been hit by a hail of canon fire and thunder. He survival even Franky couldn't have predicted that. Even Gray was shocked when he only got a body pain from it.

He activated his Arnament Haki but that was still far from sufficient. He did activate it, and it did help a little in reducing the damage. In the future, he aimed to enhance his Arnament Haki.

'So, this body is a walking cheat.'

Gray began looking for a shipwright. He needed to track down the broker and ask him where he was going to get the wood. He needed to get there before Franky could take it.

Gray took to the air and began searching for the structure with many ships under construction. Gray took off at a high rate of speed. He had to find the shipwright immediately now. He would be glad if he could find Franky, but he was not fortunate enough.

Gray kept his cool and ultimately located a massive factory where ships were manufactured. It was a gigantic superstructure that took up a considerable amount of the area.

"This is the pride of Water 7," the greatest shipbuilding firm.

Gray landed in front of the Dockyards. There was a large crowd outside watching them make ships. The shipwrights were local superstars. They were Water 7's pride and joy. They were mostly CP-9 agents trying to gain their hands on Pluton.

----------------------

'He was going to meet me in the shipwright's yard. He'd be clad in green and have a scar on his cheek.'

Gray began his search in the crowded area. He had to find him. He needed to meet him today or else he wouldn't have any money left for building cost.

He had no luck finding the broker after scanning the entire vicinity. He was wasting his time here.

"What the hell happened to him?" Gray was irritated by all that had happened. He sat near the company, planning ways to entice Franky.

"Are you Gray?" A man in green with a scar on his cheek with dressed totally in green approached him.

Gray's face lit up as he gazed at the man in front of him. "Are you the broker who will be in charge of my ship's work?"

The broker nodded and puffed his cigar.

"How did you come across me?"

"Your white hair and golden eyes help you stand out in a crowd."

Gray felt grateful for his good looks for first time. It only caused him problems throughout the training period, but for the first time, standing out was advantageous.

The broker noticed Gray didn't have any money with him; he was completely empty.

"I was told you'd supply the money, and I'd have to act as a middleman to build a ship for you."

Gray began to tell all that had happened while bringing the money with him. He had to beat the crap out of Franky for what he did.

The broker stroked his chin before speaking slowly. "That's troubling; they're well-known in these parts of town for their behavior."

Gray had to get there as soon as possible. "Where can I purchase Adam wood? According to my sources, Franky is attempting to purchase those."

Gray's sources wowed the broker; 'he was able to dig out information so quickly'. All of this he had learned from the series.

"There is only one place in town where they are sold." " I had several leads, but if I had to guess, he'd get it from the city's largest underground market."

Gray had found exactly what he was looking for. He was aware that Adam's wood was not sold publicly, but was instead sold illegally in an underground market.

"Would you mind bringing me there?" "I need to grab them before he buys the woods."

"I can take you there at the absolute least," the broker said, not wanting to become involved in the issue. " After that, it's up to you."

Gray agreed right away; he didn't care gaining an extra helping hand. After he got his hands on Franky, he was more than enough.

"That's all the help I'll want."

Gray followed the broker into the underground market. He met a suspicious-looking man in an unknown location.

"What brings you here?"

"Tony brought me here."

"Are you Tony's client?"

"No, I am his adversary."

"Could you please follow me?"

They communicated in the secret code that every underground buyer must know in order to prevent others from breaking in.

Gray and the broker were free to go. They both started following the shady guy. He led him to an unknown location with an underground entrance.

"Thank you for coming."

They were left by the shady character. They both wore masks to conceal their identities while inside underground market.

When they jumped inside the tunnel that had been dug, they were transported by a slide. This was their mode of transportation to the location.

They landed on a comfy cushion. They got to their feet and looked about. It was a massive cave. It was an area where illegal trade occurred. It was grander than the actual market.

"This is an underground market."
