Summary:
Word of Cutty Flam’s death begins to spread around Water 7 as Iceburg looks on and Kokoro begins to drink. She tells him that he is the first student of the “World’s Greatest Shipbuilder” and he starts to walk away saying that they will have to have a drink sometime. As he turns away, he says that he will now change Water 7, just like Tom did.
Meanwhile, somewhere out at sea, Cutty Flam’s mutilated body is seen floating, and to his own surprise, he is still alive. When he thinks he’s probably going to die at some point, he sees a ship sailing, which he manages to board despite his current condition. There is no one on board and it looks like a scrapped ship full of scrap. He states how those around him comfort him and decides that the first thing he needs to do is do something with his useless body.
Four years later on Water 7, the Galley-La Company finally got going and Iceburg was nominated as mayor. In the office, Kalifa is seen telling Iceburg that she has a visitor who claims to be “Cutty Flam” and to stop work. He asks Kalifa if he really said that, which she confirms, adding that he was wearing a bathing suit and asks if he should be escorted to him. However, he refuses and tells her to kick him out.
One night at Tom’s Workers headquarters, the pair meet and Iceburg questions Cutty Flam’s strange appearance. To this he explains that his body has become completely unusable and that he only had to repair it with scrap metal and such. He then yells about how Iceburg could take a job from the World Government even though they were the ones who killed Tom. However, he states that it was Cutty Flam who gave them an excuse by building the weapons. He goes on to say that while Tom may have forgiven him, he never will.
Iceburg is then seen giving Cutty Flam the plans for the Pluton weapon, which he immediately recognizes. Iceburg then tells him to drop his name “Cutty Flam” as he is now dead to everyone and leaves the island with the documents. Franky then asks what would happen to Iceburg if it was discovered that he had no plans. The question is not answered and instead he claims that if he had plans, he wouldn’t give them up even if his life depended on it. As he is about to leave, Iceburg says that he is happy that Franky is still alive, even though he still hasn’t forgiven him. To this, Franky declares that he will not leave the island, shocking Iceburg.
It then flashes back to current events where Rob Lucci tells Franky that the “Tom” they were told had good skills but was a violent fish man with great power. Despite this, Franky tells them that he doesn’t care about world government and won’t say anything. Lucci goes on to explain that even though he has hurt so many people, his crimes have been put on hold as he has been confirmed dead, but will be escorted to Enies Lobby as a criminal. Blueno then pulls out the Den Den Mushi and hands it to Lucca, who then hands the handset to Franky, saying that their boss wants to speak to him immediately.
Although the beginning of the call begins with the chief spilling coffee, he then goes on to say that he couldn’t believe that the criminal he had thought dead for so many years was still alive. He realizes that Franky isn’t sure who he is and reveals that he was the one who arrested Tom as part of CP5, Spandam. As Franky figures out who it is, CP9 is told to bring him in as quickly as possible. As they prepare to leave, Usopp tells them to leave him alone before retreating at the sight of Rob Lucci. That’s when Kaku remembers that he was one of the Straw Hat Pirates.
At the Galley-La headquarters, fires continue to rage through the building as workers do their best to extinguish the flames without much luck. Just then, Chopper, who is in his reindeer form, breaks through the window and carries Paulie, Iceburg, and the Tyrannosaurus with one of Zoro’s katanas in his mouth. As he tries to heal Nami, he collapses and all the carpenters decide to help him, as well as Iceburg and Paulie, since he saved their lives.
