"One Piece" Events:

—————————

[Grand Line, Winter Island.]

"OWAAAH!!" At this moment, a scream echoed. 

It was a strange robotic dog, launching explosive projectiles from its mouth at a specific target, the source of the scream.

"Wait, stop!! Taroimo!!" The Cyborg dog was halted by someone upon seeing Franky. 

"I'm sorry, are you all right!? He thought that you were prey…!!" Two individuals in winter clothing approached Franky, and one of them apologized. 

"Yeah, I'm fine." Franky hadn't really suffered any harm. 

"Uwoh!! How are you fine!!?" 

"Damn, this is a mess. How far did I fly?" 

"Aaaahh? So cold…!! Ah… Ah!! Franky!!!" Franky's sneeze was truly peculiar.

"That won't do, wearing just your underwear in this snow…!! Were you robbed!?" The man with the Cyborg dog assumed Franky had been robbed and stripped of everything, even his clothes!

"Put on this loincloth!!" The old man beside him produced a loincloth and offered it to Franky.

"A loincloth!!? Don't screw around! I don't need it!! If I put something like that on… They'll call me a pervert!! AUU!!!" Franky began his usual madness. 

"Follow my lead!!" "Your butt 🎵 To the right!! Your right hand on your waist~ Thrust out your left hand!!"

"Slide in left!! And do it again~~~…!!" "AUU!! One-Two, One-Two!!" "Bring both hands down below! And screw!!"

"Mmmmmmm~…!! SUPER~!!!"

"I'M STILL COLD!!! WHERE AM I!!?" exclaimed Franky. Despite his fantastic and famous dance, he still felt the extreme cold.

"Ehhh!?" 

"… This is Karakuri Island, the birthplace of geniuses. You're in the 'future country' Barujimoa." The person saying this was the old man. 

"Where the hell is that!!?" Franky was shocked.

•———•———•———•———•———•

In Ohara, Vegapunk was still in deep shock after the appearance of a familiar figure and the so-called Sky Island Weatheria.

But when Franky appeared… or more specifically, the place Franky was sent to, Vegapunk fell into absolute silence.

His old memories when he was young came flooding back, one after another...

"Karakuri... Barujimoa..." Vegapunk muttered in astonishment and distraction.

Clover, Brook, and the others who noticed Vegapunk's deviation looked at him.

"Is the place where Franky was sent familiar to you in any way?" At that moment, Professor Clover thought the question wouldn't hurt.

Vegapunk nodded upon hearing that, thinking for a moment before saying, "That place is my birthplace and hometown."

The genius's hometown! This news was truly shocking for Clover and the others who didn't expect it.

"So, that's how it is... It's not strange to feel nostalgic for the past. Yohoho~"

"I didn't expect Kuma to send Franky to explore my laboratory... Well, the best way to make the Cyborg evolve is to present him to me... It's impossible to send him to Egghead in that situation, so the best possible place is Karakuri or Punk Hazard... Somehow, I expected that." Vegapunk sighed as he said this.

"I look forward to seeing what Franky will discover in my past legacy... How will he progress afterward, and what will his impression be of me after getting to know..."

"I remember leaving a lot of valuable things behind... For a Cyborg like him, they are priceless..."

"I heard that Karakuri Island is protected by the World Government and surrounded by a strong marine base... The climate there is extremely harsh, so even for Navy soldiers, they don't want to enter the winter island, thinking that no one in their right mind would want to live in that kingdom of cold and harsh winter." The person who said this was the former Celestial Dragon, Homing.

"That seems logical, considering that even the 'Super!!' dance couldn't warm up Franky in that environment, Yohohoho!" Brook was enjoying Franky's predicament.

"I wonder how the Five Elders will express themselves after the revelation of my birthplace and the legacy I left behind in Karakuri becomes public... Perhaps many madmen who want to get rich will go there." Vegapunk said with a kind of sarcasm and concern.

This was noticed by Brook, who is a member of the Rob's guild.

"No need to worry. Since Rob-san is ready to reveal that, it means he is ready to protect the people of Karakuri as well."

...

Fish-Man Island:

"Suuuuuuper~!!!" At this moment, the little Franky was thoroughly enjoying the moment of his appearance.

"Look, even the Cyborg dog can't resist the charm of dancing to my tunes!"

"That's because he's as perverted as you." Iceburg retorted sarcastically as usual.

"What's wrong with being perverted!? It's a way of life—Ouch! That hurts, you cursed old hag!!"

"Stop it, you child..." Kokoro grabbed Franky by the ear and pulled him forcefully.

"Since you're a child now, it's my duty to adjust your deviant values a bit... I won't allow you to roam around in underwear even when you become an adult!"

Seeing this, Tom shook his head in helplessness and gave a powerless smile.

As Franky's teacher, he was more skilled in teaching him shipbuilding than disciplining his morals and behaviors... Well, since he was confident in Franky's kind nature, he thought anything else wouldn't harm.

"Karakuri Island... Isn't this winter island part of the Grand Line railroad expansion plan?" At this moment, Tom remembered something, after all, he and a few others were the ones who managed to see the plans for the railroads that would connect some islands of the Grand Line in the first phase of the project.

"Since it's the place where Franky's counterpart was sent, it means it definitely has a secret."

"A secret that will strengthen Franky's skills as a shipbuilder and as a Cyborg... Isn't that right?"

Franky's eyes gleamed after hearing that; he became more eager to see the rest of his journey in this cold place.

Perhaps when he returns to his crew, he will be much stronger than his current version.

He will also have many surprises that will leave Usopp, Chopper, and Luffy in awe... Maybe he can create something impressive like a real giant robot... something that won't require Robin to merge with them to form it!

Anyway, for him, it seems that Karakuri Island will be the main focus in the coming days!

Well, maybe he'll focus on the rest of the crew members' places.

"It seems Sanji is next..."

At this moment, Iceburg spoke, and in the next moment, his expression froze, almost having a heart attack!

"What a poor man... Sanji..."

"This is really... hell!"

The back of young Iceburg was soaked in sweat.
