A dejected Orochimaru silently left the deck and returned to his room. After setting up his equipment, he began to prepare disinfectant spray.
After some thought, to leave a deep impression on a certain person, the disinfectant was made cola-flavored.
Once the preparation was complete, he was ready to thoroughly disinfect the entire ship.
When Franky boarded the ship, he was still clutching his underwear tightly in his hand, a look of confusion on his face.
Everyone turned their heads, greeted by a fully armed Orochimaru, dressed in a white protective suit, wearing a mask and gloves, and holding a spray gun, looking very serious.
Franky raised his hand to greet Orochimaru: "Ow~ my Companions... are you okay?... Ah ah ah...!"
However, before he could finish his sentence, one of Orochimaru's Shadow Clones swiftly tied his ankles, then hung him upside down by one foot from the mast.
Franky thrashed about non-stop, covering his crotch with both hands as if it were his last shred of dignity. His pitiful underwear lay on the ground, while two Shadow Clones, dressed in protective suits and masks, held spray guns and began disinfecting Franky's unmentionable parts, one in front and one behind.
Watching the wailing Franky, everyone felt it was better to be obedient.
They obediently immersed their hands in the disinfectant. Sanji's disinfectant had an especially high concentration, with bubbles rising from the surface, followed by Robin's.
Poor Chopper, on the other hand, was continuously gargling with disinfectant, choking and tearing up, coughing incessantly. He tried to explain to Orochimaru: "Orochimaru... I'm a doctor... it's fine now..."
Orochimaru stared at Chopper sternly, "You know you're a doctor and you still bite underwear with your mouth!!! Go take a bath later!!"
Orochimaru silently arranged for Nami to stay in his room, ensuring she received the best protection.
Fortunately, there was still a clean one. Nami saw Orochimaru's appearance... and also felt that those people were dirty. She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and proactively washed her hands with disinfectant.
Afterward, Orochimaru continued his busy disinfection work, not missing a single corner. Heaven knew where Franky might have wiped with his underwear.
After a period of effort, Orochimaru finally completed the comprehensive disinfection of the ship.
He sighed in relief, looking at the cola-scented group of people, all of whom were thrown into the bathhouse.
Garp waited and waited in the back... Why weren't these rascals setting sail yet? Didn't they know he had to wait until they set sail to attack them? After all, he had promised his Grandson he wouldn't attack them on the island.
Iceburg, holding merry, blinked his sore eyes. Barry and the others from Galley-La Company were tired of craning their necks and sat on the ground... What were these people doing? Why were they taking so long to set sail? Consider the people seeing them off!
The Straw Hat Pirates lay sprawled on the lawn of the new ship, their eyes vacant, steam rising from their bodies. Every single one of them had been scrubbed clean by Orochimaru from inside out, glowing white. Nami had been entrusted with Robin's cleaning.
Franky sat dejectedly on the steps, clutching a glass jar. He had lost his last pair of underwear. The pathetic underwear was soaking in concentrated disinfectant in a sealed glass jar by Orochimaru.
Orochimaru had, from somewhere, gotten him a batch of strange underwear that suited him.
Luffy, sprawled on the cola-scented lawn, weakly raised his hand, "My little ones... set sail."
The group replied listlessly, "Oh..." They didn't want to drink cola for a while.
Franky suddenly perked up, "The ship's name!!"
Everyone pointed at Orochimaru in unison, completely unwilling to think, their souls still drifting, "Ask him."
Orochimaru took a satisfied sip of juice.
"thousand sunny, or sunny for short. Mr. Iceburg named it, and merry agreed."
Everyone lay on the ground and nodded. Hmm, not bad, very satisfied.
Luffy weakly raised his hand again, looking at the sky, which was already changing color... They were so pitiful, having been washed for so long... "Depart!"
As soon as Luffy finished speaking, the sunny suddenly jetted off.
Everyone looked at the sky, completely bewildered. Franky was incredulous, he hadn't even shown off yet, "How did you know how to use Coup de Burst?"
"Mr. Iceburg gave me the blueprints and instructions for various mechanisms," Orochimaru glanced at Franky, who squatted on the ground, drawing circles and grumbling in a wronged manner.
Not to mention the Straw Hat's confusion, Garp was even more bewildered... Where were his two big Grandson? His grandfather... hadn't even said hello yet! How could they just be gone! Gone!!
Never mind, at least he had merry now. This one definitely wouldn't go astray.
On the shore, the farewell crowd was blown every which way, Iceburg's hairstyle was even messed up. Iceburg looked down at merry in his arms, wanting to speak but hesitating, "You really had a tough time before."
merry sighed and nodded... What could he do... He was just an innocent ship.
In the sky, a group of people leisurely watched the sunny fly through the air. Taking everyone's suggestions into account, the sunny had been fitted with a hot air balloon, allowing them to float occasionally. They relaxed at the railing, holding juice in their hands, savoring it while enjoying the beautiful scenery around them. From time to time, seagulls flew past them, as if greeting them.
"Ah... this is truly free!" Everyone narrowed their eyes, fully enjoying this peaceful and wonderful time. They felt the gentle breeze on their cheeks, listened to the sound of waves crashing on the shore, and felt immensely joyful.
At the same time, news of this group quickly spread to their respective hometowns via News Coo.
On the spacious deck, a lush green lawn stretched out like a soft carpet. Luffy, Nami, Sanji, and others had regained their vitality, their faces beaming with happy smiles. They held their wine glasses high, the clear liquid sparkling within.
"Everyone! For our Robin's return, for our new Companions Franky, and for our brand new pirate ship, thousand sunny! Let's all toast!" Luffy shouted excitedly.
Everyone cheered in unison: "Cheers!" Then they drank it all down, their laughter echoing in the air.
Then, Luffy raised his arm high and loudly declared: "Depart! Next stop, Fish-Man Island!!"
The voyage at sea continued, and everyone adapted to the sunny and began various forms of entertainment.
Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper, the three idiots, squeaked back and forth on the swing. Orochimaru's Shadow Clones pushed the three idiots from behind; there was no helping it, as these three were the most prone to pestering.
Meanwhile, Orochimaru's Main Body was happily eating Sanji's special ice cream.
He also checked on the strange species he was raising: the super strong mini-fried fish and the square-headed octopus. Orochimaru had specifically asked Franky to section off part of the aquarium for him... And indeed, facts proved Orochimaru's worries were justified. Nami and Robin watched as that idiot Luffy threw a shark into the aquarium... The shark was overjoyed: Buffet!
