A moment later.
Hyaku arrived at the shipbreaking yard on the coast.
Franky's real name was Cutty Flam, and he changed it to Franky to avoid the World Government's attention. He specifically chose this secluded location because he valued its privacy.
Now it suited Hyaku's purposes perfectly.
Franky's shipbreaking yard covered a vast area. Adjacent to it stood a processing plant dedicated to collecting and dismantling old ships.
Franky and his Franky Family lived in the main castle-like structure of the shipbreaking yard.
Despite the late hour, lights blazed from inside the shipbreaking yard. Cheering and music echoed from within, suggesting some kind of celebration was underway.
Seeing this, Hyaku shook his head slightly.
He put on a black mask and strode purposefully toward the shipbreaking yard. Reaching the entrance, he took a deep breath.
BANG!
He kicked the door open.
Instantly, the sound of the door being kicked in drew the attention of dozens of people inside.
The music stopped. All eyes fixed on the intruder.
Hyaku's gaze swept across everyone present. He recognized many faces.
The Square Sisters of the Franky Family, Kiwi and Mozu. Zambai, the right-hand man. The Kairiki Destroyers — Dago, Ottoland and Footbianco. Tamagon, Kiev and Schollzo, and also Kop and others.
All were characters who had appeared in the original story.
Hyaku's gaze finally settled on the center of the stage where everyone was gathered. There stood Franky, wearing a red beach shirt and only blue underwear below!
"Kid! You wouldn't happen to be with the group we robbed today, would you?" Franky, standing in the center, looked him up and down carefully, then asked with a smirk.
From his words, it wasn't hard to guess that they were celebrating because they had pulled off a big heist during the day.
Besides their regular shipbreaking work, the Franky Family would occasionally target tourists and pirates, making off with their belongings.
This was one of the reasons why the Franky Family preferred not to be mentioned — they were quite notorious.
At this moment, Franky completely assumed Hyaku was with the group they had robbed earlier that day.
"Everyone else, get lost. I'm here for you, Franky." Hyaku spoke coldly.
WHOOSH!
As soon as the words left his mouth, all the Franky Family members present became murderous.
They grabbed their weapons and glared at him viciously, their eyes looking as if they wanted to melt him on the spot.
"Boss Franky! Let's not waste words with him!"
"This brat dares to come here, we need to teach him a lesson so he knows how tough the Franky Family is!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
"Boss! Give us the order!"
The Franky Family members started shouting one after another, all suggesting they teach Hyaku a lesson.
"Hahaha... Then... he's all yours!" Hearing this, Franky, relying on strength in numbers, wasn't worried. He laughed and granted everyone's request, "Get him! Let's see if he's got anything valuable on him!"
At his command, dozens of people excitedly rushed toward the intruder.
"I don't have time to play with you," Hyaku said coldly, remaining unmoved by the surrounding crowd.
✣ Haōshoku no Haki: Shihai ⭄ Supreme King Haki: Domination! ✣
Just as the Franky Family members were about to reach him, Hyaku's eyes suddenly turned sharp.
With a thought, Conqueror's Haki immediately spread out from within his body. The invisible Haki expanded at an extremely fast speed.
In the blink of an eye, it penetrated through the bodies of all Franky Family members present.
BOOM!
The next moment, the Franky Family members' bodies jerked as if struck by lightning, their steps instantly halting. Their consciousness was violently struck by a powerful mental energy.
Thud, thud, thud...
Finally, the Franky Family members' eyes rolled back, and they collapsed unconscious one after another.
In just one strike, everyone was incapacitated.
"What... what did you do?!" Franky asked in disbelief, witnessing the horrifying scene, "Damn it!"
After a moment's hesitation, he immediately turned to flee.
✣ Rokushiki: Soru ⭄ Shave! ✣
At the same time, Hyaku took a single step.
WHOOSH!
With a sonic boom, his figure instantly vanished. When he reappeared, he was already blocking Franky's escape route.
"Brother! Let's talk this out! I'll return all your money!" Seeing Hyaku's incredible speed, Franky knew he was outmatched and hurriedly begged.
Hyaku didn't respond. He simply walked toward Franky step by step.
"If that's not enough, look around — take whatever you like. You can have it all! Everything!" Franky anxiously added.
Hyaku remained unmoved, continuing his methodical approach.
"Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!" Seeing that Hyaku wouldn't relent, Franky gritted his teeth in determination.
✣ Cyborg Tactics ⭄ Strong Right! ✣
He raised his right hand, palm clenched into a fist.
BANG!
Under Franky's control, his entire arm suddenly split and launched, rocketing toward Hyaku in an explosive attack.
BANG!!
However, Franky's rapidly launched iron fist was easily dodged by Hyaku with a slight sidestep.
The fist hit the ground. The powerful force kicked up a cloud of dust.
✣ Rokushiki: Soru ⭄ Shave! ✣
WHOOSH!
Not giving Franky a chance to retract his fist, Hyaku took another step, using Soru's instant burst of speed to appear at his side.
✣ Rokushiki: Tekkai ⭄ Iron Body! ✣
His right hand formed a knife hand, instantly hardening with Tekkai. He aimed the hardened edge at Franky's neck and struck down hard.
THUD!
A muffled sound rang out.
Franky only felt a sharp pain in his neck before his vision went black and he collapsed unconscious. The Cyborg was defeated.
In less than three minutes, the entire Franky Family had been neutralized.
"I remember Franky kept the Pluton blueprint here." After dealing with everyone, Hyaku pulled off his mask.
Following the original story, he knew exactly where Franky had hidden the Pluton blueprint in his mechanical body and pried it open forcefully.
Without much effort, he found a roll of blueprints inside.
Hyaku immediately unrolled the blueprints to examine them.
On the blueprints was drawn a massive ship. It clearly marked various points of detail that needed attention — at first glance, there were several hundred of them.
And in the top left corner, several large characters read:
Pluton Blueprint.
