For @askfranky ! Their gift for the @bnharphub & @onepiecerphub summer event!
A man with an iron heart and a soul of fiery passion, his ambitions burned bright alongside his personality shedding light in the darkest places.
A woman of darkness, left with nothing but had everything to gain, her ambition was unbreakable and will stronger than any substance.
For a time it was merely soft glances, gazes in the direction of the other, she offered gentle smiles as he snarled and grunted working on his newest invention. She thought him to be childish but like the rest of her crew very interesting, perhaps the most eccentric of the bunch. Was this where her curiosity bloomed? For a moment Robin wanted to be shallow, the men on the ship weren’t terrible looking no, they all had their traits and quirks about them but it was his image that was the most strange. He was so very different, though so was she and that fondness grew.
“Family is family, I haven’t known you guys long but I want to help, I want to get Robin back too so don’t worry!
S U P E R Cyborg Franky is here!”
These poses and gags were who he was, just as building and creating things were, this was what shaped the man named Franky and he was proud of that; no matter the trouble his exhibitionist ways got him into. He hadn’t known them for long, the one who truly persuaded him was Robin though it was done out of fear of his jewels being crushed.
“… Damn bastards, they can’t treat people like that, she’s not a monster. Robin’s a person like you and me, listen I might have my reasons for wanting her out of those guys’ hands but don’t worry once I get my hands on that mask wearing freak I’ll kick his ass to Kingdom Come.
I’ll give it everything I got when we get in there.”
The ride on the Sea Train was tense for everyone, though most tried not to show it; the addition of CP9 members being on board only made things harder for them. But this was his family now, his crew, and whether she liked it or not Robin was and still is a part of that family and Franky as he was would not stand for something like this. He did not fear the Government along with the rest of the crew and was ready to throw down with any of those damned suits.
“I- ….I WANT TO LIVE, TAKE ME OUT TO SEA WITH YOU!!”
There they stood against the world, ready, willing and able to fight until their last breath if it meant saving one of their family.
For the moment, peace, they waged war on the world and on that day came out victorious, gaining a new member as well as rescuing another. As the crew would rest Franky made another bold decision but his ambition and desire as a Shipwright shone through as he soon began construction of their new ship, his proclaimed swan song.
Robin was tired and worn as the rest of the Strawhats though could not find herself able to sleep, much raced through the woman’s mind though most of it for once was happiness, joy that she was alive, love toward her family for coming to her aid and budding adoration for them all.
Sounds echoed through the air as Franky continued working, too eager as well to get any sort of rest, how could he? This ship would rival Gol D. Roger’s himself, the ship his master built with the same wood, the cyborg was far too excited to put down his hammer.
From the distance she watched curiously, thankful to all of her crew mates for what they had done but Robin still wondered about him. He had hardly known her yet Franky put everything on the line as well, sacrificing the blueprints to Pluto, taking down a member of CP9 and apparently standing against Lucci himself. Now overzealous about building them a new ship, one more grand and powerful, something that could truly sail the world as he put it.
The moon shone bright that night giving Franky just enough light to keep working; though he could easily light a few lanterns. Soft light sprinkled across the area as Robin stepped forward, if anyone deserved thanks it would be him, an odd and very curious man she would be in his debt as well.
“Franky.”
Her voice soothed, calling up at the busy Shipwright, at first getting a confused grunt as bare feet made noise against the ship’s deck.
“Robin?
Oh you wanted a peak at her huh? Well she’s not there just yet.”
Jumping down from the ship Franky landed just in front of Robin, the pair just barely lit up by the light of the moon.
“… I wanted to ask you something.
You knew what I was before helping the others, why? You could have avoided all of that trouble.”
Brow rose at their question, Franky knew the consequences before hand and understood this would classify him as a pirate and a wanted individual by the Government but he did what he wanted, that was how he lived his life and no sense of danger would stop that.
“I knew what you were when I first saw ya’, you’re a person just like me, and so what you’ve gotten into trouble in the past? Seems like everyone you run with has …I have direct relation to the man who built Gol D. Roger’s ship, like I’m worried about crap like that.
Listen, I know I’m not close to any of you yet but …I meant what I said, about being honored to build this ship.”
Blotting his face with the towel around his neck Franky stepped closer, a hand finding itself on Robin’s shoulder, large hands giving it a gentle squeeze as his voice was even softer.
“You’re not a monster or whatever else those bastards have said, Robin, you’re you …I don’t regret putting my butt on the line to help you.”
As if she hadn’t wept enough, Robin found it in herself to quietly sob once more, happy tears streaming down her cheeks but also the slightest tinge of worry. He was so reckless, maybe more so than the rest of the crew but regardless of that she was forever grateful.
“Thank you Mr. Shipwright, for all that you’ve done.”
askfranky replied to your post: Okay but guys, for real now, do all you guys with...
the thing is that its not the first time tumblr has been using untested bots, a lot of this could easily be avoided if the staff had acted more responsibly u know
Yes, that’s a valid point, but it’s also a mistake they will continue to make, so it’s not like any of us should really be surprised.
nothing will work perfectly on the first day of it being implemented, literally nothing, there’s gonna be bugs and irritating little snags here and there, but... just give it time, it’s there for a reason, a really valid reason, and while yes they could have fixed this a lot earlier had they actually gave a damn, it’s still a valid issue that they do need to address, they just have a bigger incentive to address it all at once right now cause they’re losing revenue and facing financial catastrophe.
