Vasco Shot arrives to find Franky incapacitated, and says "Wow... cool robot man!"
In an amazing double spread, Vasco Shot turns to liquor, and drowns S-Snake in booze.
Franky's stone transformation is undone as S-Snake falls unconscious.
Vasco: "Hic, you're super cool, robot guy! Are you one of Vegapunk's creations to, hic?!?"
Franky: "No, I'm a member of the-" Franky shuts up and remembers his bounty poster, which has the Sunny's picture, not his, on it. ("Hmmm... if this guy's on Blackbeard's crew, but doesn't know who I am, I should play along with that"). "Yeah, that's right! I hate Vegapunk, for forcing me to do a bunch of crap, you know!"
Vasco smiles, and shoots some liquor into Franky's mouth without warning.
"Hehehe, we're here to, hic, take Vegapunk, anyway, so, don't worry: I'll tell the Admiral we're pals, and make it so you don't have to do boring work anymore. What do ya say, wanna join the Blackbeard Pirates, and sail on my ship, Robot Guy? BUUUUUUUURP!"
Franky blinks, then begins to short circuit as his hair turns... uh, evil: "Hahaha, sure, brother! I'm feeling SUUUUUUPER evil today! Hahahahahaha!"
Franky kicks S-Snake through a wall while Vasco cheers and gets drunk; Usopp and Lilith are staring at them from behind machinery, terrified.
