"Escanor, what are you thinking?"
"Are you regretting it?" Cavendish asked urgently, "If you regret it, maybe you can make up for it by chasing after them now."
"Being a Shichibukai is actually pretty good."
Thinking about everything that had just happened, Cavendish still had a dreamlike illusion.
If heaven gave him another chance now, he would definitely not board this pirate ship.
"No, I'll still save Nico Robin." Kai withdrew from the template's personality influence and said, "Since she chose to depend on me, then I will never stand idly by and watch her be taken away by the World Government."
Speaking of this, Kai turned his head and glanced at Cavendish, saying, "I think you wouldn't want to be abandoned one day, would you?"
Cavendish was stunned, feeling like he couldn't refute it.
As a captain, and also a rookie, Cavendish had set sail with pure passion, and had never thought about these deep-seated issues.
Just as Kai had said, if one day he fell into the hands of the navy or the World Government, would anyone come to rescue him?
Messy thoughts flashed through his mind, and Cavendish's expression changed several times.
Finally, he took a deep breath, flicked his bangs, and said self-admiringly, "Don't worry, I'll go with you. Enies Lobby is no easy place!"
In Cavendish's eyes, he could say such words at this critical moment.
He could completely imagine how handsome he was.
If he didn't die on this trip and came back alive, it might even raise his reputation to another level.
Letting his beauty spread even wider on this sea.
"I don't need a burden!" Kai replied indifferently, his gaze suddenly turning and landing on the broken ship in the distance, saying, "Franky, how long do you want to hide? Come out."
"Or, do you want me to personally invite you out?"
The quiet voice, at that moment, seemed to be infused with magic, causing Franky's nerves to tense up suddenly.
Even Cavendish, who had been planning to refute, couldn't help but be stunned.
They had already witnessed Kai's ability to easily sense the enemy's means.
However, he could even easily say the other party's name.
Wasn't this feeling a bit of a cheat?
"Escanor, do you know him?" Cavendish couldn't help but ask.
Franky couldn't hold back either, and walked out from the shadows, saying, "Do you know me?"
"Know you?" Kai glanced at him indifferently and said, "I don't know you, but I know everything about you."
"If it wasn't for you, Mr. Tom wouldn't have died!"
Mr. Tom?
Franky's expression froze at once.
Then, he rushed to Kai in one stride, his mechanical arms reaching out to grab Kai's collar directly.
The sudden scene stunned Cavendish slightly.
In his eyes, he wasn't shocked by Franky's reaction.
Instead, it was because of his stupidity.
After witnessing Kai's methods with his own eyes, this impulsive act of grabbing his collar.
Wasn't it just asking to be rewarded with a simple and crude punch?
Faced with Cavendish's interested gaze, Franky's hands, one inch away from his collar, suddenly froze in mid-air.
At close range, meeting that arrogant gaze, Franky couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Recalling the fate of the CP9, who had been so awesome just now, being taken down with one punch each, he hurriedly said, "Your collar is wrinkled, I'll fix it for you."
"Franky, boss, is this our target this time?"
"But, this little broken ship doesn't seem to be good enough, right?"
Two figures flashed out from the shadows.
In Water 7, the members inside the Franky Family were all shipwrights who had been rejected by Iceburg.
They were absorbed into the family by Franky as delinquents.
They earned rewards by dismantling ships and selling ship parts.
However, due to the lack of legitimacy, the Franky Family mostly carried out activities by hijacking pirate ships and other methods.
Watching Zanbai and Koppu, who had suddenly jumped out, wearing black leather pants and sunglasses, Franky's eyes lit up, and he slapped the backs of their heads with a backhand.
"Shut up, this is Boss Escanor, who has a bounty of 300 million. I was just trying to fix his collar," Franky explained urgently.
"A bounty of 300 million?"
Zanbai and Koppu's expressions turned pale at once.
They finally knew why their always fearless boss was so respectful.
If they had known earlier that the person in front of them had a bounty of 300 million, not to mention calling him boss, they could even call him daddy smoothly.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense here." Kai glanced at Franky and said, "I'm going to Enies Lobby now, I need to take the Sea Train, you can guide me well."
"Going to Enies Lobby?"
Zanbai was slightly stunned and said, "Boss Escanor, the Sea Train can indeed go to Enies Lobby."
"However, that route isn't for ordinary people to take. I heard that the people going to Enies Lobby are all criminals. If you're going sightseeing, boss, it's better to take other routes."
"What sightseeing?" Franky slapped Zanbai on the back of the head again and said, "Boss Escanor is planning to save someone."
"However, the Sea Train is running, but they won't send you to Enies Lobby for nothing."
"I have a way to send you, but the prerequisite is that you have to tell me why you know about Tom."
Regarding his mentor's death, Franky had always been brooding.
He believed that if it wasn't for the ships he had recklessly built being stolen and used to attack the trial warship sent by Enies Lobby, Tom wouldn't have had to take the blame for him.
He was sentenced to execution by firing squad.
Right now, Kai had revealed his relationship with Tom as soon as he opened his mouth.
This undoubtedly touched Franky's nerves.
Watching Franky, who was looking eager, Kai pondered for a moment and said, "Do you want to see Tom again?"
"See Tom again?" Franky was stunned, then asked excitedly, "Boss Escanor, you said let me see Tom.
"Is Tom still alive? Answer me quickly!"
The urgent words echoed on the port.
Watching Franky, who was calling him boss with such smoothness, his integrity seemingly lost, Cavendish had been full of contempt.
However, seeing the uncontrolled emotions the moment Kai mentioned the name Tom, Cavendish clearly knew that there was probably another story behind it.
However, in Cavendish's eyes, what he valued more was what relationship Kai had with Tom.
At the same time, whether Tom was really still alive in this world!
Or, was Kai fabricating an excuse to deceive Franky into helping him in order to get to Enies Lobby?
