Water Seven
In the city of shipwrights the crew splinters over the worn-out Going Merry, Nico Robin vanishes with CP9, and Galley-La is shaken by betrayal. In the background, the blueprints of the weapon Pluton.
After Long Ring Long Land and the encounter with Admiral Aokiji, the crew reaches Water Seven to repair the Going Merry and spirals into crisis: the theft of their funds by Franky and his Franky Family, the verdict that the Merry is beyond repair, and the quarrel and duel between Luffy and Usopp. In the night CP9 — infiltrated into Galley-La as Lucci and others — abducts Nico Robin and Franky for the blueprints of the weapon Pluton. Robin declares herself an enemy to protect the crew and lets herself be taken to Enies Lobby via the Sea Train.
