Not just SH… water 7 is also in trouble

Jestersage

While we all wonder how the SH are going to escape from Buster Call, we forgot what may happen when Gallery-La and franky family escaped it too.

Here's a few thing that we need to remember:

gallery-La is owned by the mayor of water 7.
Navy love to associate the "petty" criminals with… everything they live. eg: the scholars with everyone on Ohara.
Inshort, in the eye of navy, Gallery-La = Water 7.
SH just declared wall of the WG. Then, when someone asked, Paulie proclaimed that they are Straw Hats. also, Franky himself, and his family, also sided with Strawhats... and assaulted the Navy. Thus: in terms of Navy, Franky family=SH=Gallery-La=Water-7 had declared war on government.
iceburg provided everyone with the means to Assault Enies lobby. Navy can also see that as an act against the WG.

Combining all these, we can see a Naval assault/Buster Call on Water 7 after this arc. So perhaps SH will stick with Gallery-La/Franky Family a bit longer.

Oh, btw, nice to met everyone.

B.M.F. Franky

I'd say that Iceburg and Galley-La are too important to the World Government for them to do this.

AWB

What I think is that the world government will assume that Galley-la & the Franky Family were killed by the Buster Call, all while Galley-la and FF return to Water 7. As for Iceburg, I don't know. Maybe Water 7 will join Alabasta and Drum Island when and if they revolt againt the WG.

Darkestsith6

As of now, they are all associated as the Strawhats. There is no linkage to Water 7 outright.

Skewt

The refugees were killed because of a possible stowaway. But yeah, I don't think even the world government would be brazen enough to try connect the largest city yet seen in One Piece(as far as I can tell) to the entire SH crew.

Kibagami

In the Alasbasta arc, EVERYTHING that happened was completely blamed on the crew. This time the World Gov is probably going to blame everything that happened on Franky and the Strawhats. Iceburg's and Galley-la's contribution to the infiltration of Enies Lobby will most likely be written off by the WG because they can't let the world know about CP9's existence, and Iceburg can protect the rest of the Franky Family by including them in the juristiction of the Galleyla company. The Strawhats themselves (including Franky) will be too high profile to slip away in the shadows, but Iceburg has a slight leverage over the WG because 1) he's an influencial figure in an important city, and 2) he's got shit on them because they failed to assasinate him with CP9. The WG cannot let the public know about any of CP9's work in Water7 so that essentially makes it a safe haven for Iceburg and his guests. Since CP9 would be destroyed after this arc, the WG would have to use more diplomatic ways to deal with Iceburg, but that prevents them from using violence (at least for now). I think he can protect the crew while they get another ship in the same way King Cobra did in Alasbasta.

Ceestar

Well I have been thinking about this too, but everything going on in Enies Lobby at the moment is so hectic, it's hard to think what will happen.

Although I agree, if the WG decides to take action on anyone other than the SH, they Galley-La does look like it's in trouble. The WG will probably make some deal, seeing as Iceburg's 'attempted assisaniation' was by the CP9 and they could connect that back to the WG…like make a deal that they will leave Galley-La and Water 7 alone if they don't say anything 'bout the WG.
However I don't think anyone would agree to that.

I must say I'd love to see Galley-La, Water 7 and the Franky Family have some trouble with the WG and then see how they resolve it, that would be interesting.

Iceburg is actually not in danger. No one in the WG that Iceburg provided the means of travel. In fact for all the Government knows SH took Kokoro Chimney and Gonbe as hostages and forced her (Kokoro) to drive the train

Yoska

Straw Hats needs a biiig ship to take a whole city along with them…

Oda has endless possibilities to make a proper excuse:
Water 7 supplies World Government (and the whole world) with ships, another manoeuvre against Iceburg or the city will probably mean no ships for the Marines in a while. And that's no good.

Paulie proclaimed that they are Straw Hats.

The whole point of this was that (Marines will be fooled to think): Galley-la and Franky Family never were there, only Straw Hats were involved the attack. In a report of any sort only the names of Straw Hats would pop out. It was very intelligent of Pauly. If he had done the opposite, proclaimed that they are of Galley-la, then Water 7 could indeed be in a underdog's position but as of it's now Marines just think they were only some no name underlings of Luffy and had nothing to do with Water 7.

Cr4zy

You forget the most important thing…..The Buster Call. The Buster Call will completely annihilate Enies Lobby. No one but the Marines in Enies Lobby know who attacked; there wereno reports on the intruders. If the Buster Call marines didn't see Galley-La and the Franky Family

! Since they are running away from Enies Lobby right now with Kaashi and that other giant then they are safe. Straw Hats, unfortunately, will probably be seen. The Buster Call just kills all evidence of who attacked. The only way Galley-La and the Franky Family would be in trouble, is if a couple of the Marines in Enies Lobby still lives and makes a full damage report(and that probably will happen, I'm just hoping it won't).

Cap'n Carter

I think the crew will solely get the blame, because Galley-La and Franky Family claimed to be members of their crew. To the Marines' knowledge, they were just pirates.

Shasti

Yep, the Streawhats will get all the blame. Franky will also be implicated, but only because he was on Puffing Tom, and that's where most of the information on who was responsible will come from. The Franky Family and the Galley-La shipwrights will be unknown and okay.

Actually, it's probably the main reason Franky would join. He can't stay in Water 7 after this; he's gonna get a bounty placed on him, or at the very least be associated with the Strawhats. What I think is going to happen is that Iceburg is going to take in all the Frankies, and Franky himself will go with Luffy.

Iceburg got lucky. I wonder even now how Spandam got away with his plan to assassinate Iceburg; the man is very important to the WG for the ships he builds. I'm thinking Spandam is going to have a lot to answer for. The whole thing is a public relations nightmare.

Gonna be interesting how they pin the whole fiasco on Franky and the Strawhats.

dazze01

Water 7 is the largest distributor of the warships of the marines so i doubt it..

captain usopp

I think the WG is going to sweep everything under the rug and use Spandam as the scape goat. "this guy is crazy, how dare someone who works for WG do something so bad. We will punish him for abusing his position"

AvanMilton

Franky and ccompany will have to follow the SH, because they're now hunted by the marines, they can either join W7 Galley-la as a disguise, or just follow the SH.
W7 and Galley-la has no trouble again't WG, they never interfered in Spandam's plans or WG ones, and Iceburg is too much important to be killed or arrested. As for Paulie and the others Galley-la that went to EL, they're in the same situation as Franky family

freedom

To the latest chapter, there is no evidence indicating that the BC fleet knows of the existance of the SH crew, less the FF, SS, Galley-la, etc… Unless there is some investigation into why EL is the target of destruction, I see no problem for the FF, SS, Galley-la to return to W7. Now, can they get back to W7, that's the question

Cap'n Carter

Well, Aokiji gave Spandam permission to use it on the Strawhats, so I can only assume they'd know who their target is

Mog

Well, Aokiji gave Spandam permission to use it on the Strawhats, so I can only assume they'd know who their target is

Well, yeah, that tells us Aokiji knows the reasons, not anyone else. The way it appeared in chapter 409 made it sound like everybody thought Aokiji was calling the Buster Call, so it could well be no one even knows about Spandam having the authority.

Then there's Spandam's…. questionable reaction when Robin asked him how he got Aokiji to lend him the authority to begin with. I still think there might be something about that.

Cap'n Carter

True, but I don't doubt yet that the Buster Call knows about the Strawhats… or something... Hell, it doesn't matter.

I want to know why Spandam freaked at that question, too.

freedom

I had not thought of that… it's true that Aokiji did inform CP9 (probably via Spandam) about Nico Robin heading to W7 as part of the SH crew. So maybe the BC does know what/who is the targer... Nonetheless, i still think that W7 is safe.
