Summary

Still chasing the thieves who lifted his money, Usopp watches the pursuit collide with Paulie, a Dock 1 foreman fleeing his own creditors. Once Paulie realizes the cash belongs to the Franky Family's loot, he tries pocketing it himself, until Rob Lucci pins him in place. With the funds handed back, Lucci and Paulie trade a few blows before the visitors are finally cleared to step inside the shipyard.

Touring the grounds, Kalifa recounts how Iceburg built the famous shipbuilding firm. Luffy, undeterred, asks the mayor to sail with them, an offer Iceburg brushes aside since he runs the city. He then presses Luffy on whether Nico Robin truly belongs to the crew, which Luffy gladly confirms. Distracted by a cannon being fitted to a galleon, Usopp lets his guard slip and the Franky Family ambushes him once more.
