Cutty Flam, Franky to his friends and everyone who's not looking for trouble is walking around the great halls of Outer Heaven. Though the decoration is not really to his liking, torture is not so super, he can't help but marvel at the brilliant engineering that went into making it. A floating fortress on the most treacherous waters, cobbled together from all manner of driftwood as well as broken ships yet still structurally more sound than many castles. It's big, it's ugly, it's horrifying and yet it's strangely beautiful.
"Can I help ye?"
A loud, booming voice speaks to him as it notices the gawking cyborg.
"Ah. Silvers giant? Nah. I'm good. But super thanks for asking! I'm just appreciating the craftsmanship of the place. It's really inspiring."
"Hmph. Thank ye kindly."
"Oh? You built this place?"
"Yep. Name's Greki. Blacksmith of the Silver pirates. And you are?"
"Franky. The greatest shipwright in the world! SUUUUUUPER!"
After striking a pose Franky removes his sunglasses to look directly at the giant.
"But this place really is something! How long did it take to build?"
"She's not finished. Maybe she never will be. There is always more work to be done on the ol' lass. An extension here, a few upgrades there. So ye could say it's two years and counting."
"You must be proud then! For how ugly it is the place is a work of art!"
"Hmmm. Aye. She's not pretty but she be tough. One o' the few things I'm actually proud of."
"Huh?"
Franky cocks an eyebrow but doesn't have a chance to speak his mind as someone else butts into the conversation. Brook, the skeletal musician of the Straw Hats also comes up and looks at the giant.
"Erm. Excuse me Mister Giant! I was told you are the blacksmith of the Silvers. Is that correct?"
"Aye. Ye want to commission something man o' bones?"
"Oh no no. I just came to express my admiration! As a fencer myself I can't help but respect those capable of forging such exquisite blades. Erm, you are the one who crafted captain Silvers sword are you not? That cursed blade made me shiver, despite not having any skin! Yohohoho!"
"Eh? Cursed?"
"Why yes Franky. After being almost cut down by Shusui multiple times I learned to recognize armaments like that. Much like Zoros Sandai Kitetsu and Shusui the young mans sword also bears a curse. The moment they clashed I swear I could hear screams, like the souls of the damned cried havoc. It felt as if the swords themselves were trying to tear each other apart and not just the ones wielding them."
"Aye. That's Argent. A ferocious beast that one. But if ye'r trying to butter me up to make ye a sword forget it."
"Oh no. I completely understand. It'd be silly to arm your own nemesis yohohohoho!"
