Luffy and Franky sat in silence aboard the Thousand Sunny, their spirits crushed by the relentless defeats they had suffered. Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, and even Robin had been claimed by Foxy, each of them pledging their loyalty to the deceitful captain. Now, only Luffy and Franky remained—and they had no fight left in them.
Luffy’s eyes were downcast, his signature straw hat tilted forward to hide his face. His hands, usually clenched into fists of determination, rested limply on his lap. He had lost everything—his crew, his family. And now, the weight of his failure as a captain felt unbearable.
Franky, sitting beside him, had lost his usual bravado. His sunglasses were pushed up to cover his eyes, but it was clear from his slouched posture that he was just as defeated. The once-lively cyborg had no more inventions, no more ideas, no more hope.
"I can’t believe it, Franky," Luffy muttered, his voice hollow. "I lost everyone. I failed them."
Franky let out a long, slow breath. "Yeah… I don’t even know what to say, Luffy. It feels like there’s no point anymore."
The Thousand Sunny felt eerily quiet. The ship that had once been filled with laughter, camaraderie, and the relentless energy of the Straw Hat Pirates was now a ghost of its former self. The two remaining crew members barely spoke, barely moved. They didn’t even have the energy to plot revenge or challenge Foxy again. It seemed pointless.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the deck, a soft sound broke the silence. Luffy and Franky glanced up, startled. There, emerging from the shadows, was a figure they hadn’t expected to see.
"Nami?" Luffy whispered, his voice filled with confusion. "What are you doing here?"
Nami stepped forward, her eyes darting around to ensure they weren’t being followed. She looked tense, but not in the way they had seen before. There was something different about her—something determined.
"Quiet," she whispered, kneeling down beside them. "I don’t have much time. There’s something you need to know."
Luffy and Franky exchanged confused glances. "Nami… you’re—" Luffy began, but Nami quickly cut him off.
"I was never brainwashed," she said, her voice low but filled with urgency.
Luffy blinked, his mouth falling open. "What?"
Franky looked just as shocked. "Wait, what are you talking about? You’ve been with Foxy—"
Nami shook her head, her eyes filled with intensity. "I’ve been pretending. I never fell under Foxy’s control. I needed to figure out what was really going on, and now I have."
Luffy’s heart pounded in his chest as he tried to process what Nami was saying. "But… Zoro, Sanji, Usopp—they’re all—"
"I know," Nami said, her expression grim. "They’ve all been brainwashed. But I’ve found a way to break the effect."
Franky leaned forward, his voice filled with disbelief. "How? We saw the machine—they’re gone, Nami. They belong to Foxy now."
Nami’s eyes narrowed. "That’s what I thought too. But it’s not the machine. The machine is just a prop—a chair. It’s powered by a Devil Fruit, the Hypno-Hypno no Mi."
Luffy and Franky stared at her, their confusion deepening.
"The Hypno-Hypno no Mi is a Devil Fruit that allows the user to manipulate the minds of others, putting them in a hypnotic trance. The brainwashing process is fake—it’s all about suggestion and manipulation. If we destroy the machine, we’ll break the connection, and they’ll go back to normal."
Luffy’s heart surged with newfound hope. "So… if we destroy it, we can save them?"
Nami nodded, her expression fierce. "Yes. But we need to be careful. Foxy has grown suspicious of me. I’ve been trying to lay low, but Robin—she’s starting to figure it out."
Franky clenched his fists, his old fire returning. "Then let’s do it. Let’s sneak in, destroy that machine, and get our friends back."

The Plan to Destroy the Machine
Later that night, under the cover of darkness, Nami led Luffy and Franky toward the Foxy Pirates' ship. The moon hung high in the sky, casting eerie shadows across the water. The trio moved silently, their hearts pounding with the weight of what they were about to do.
Nami had scouted the ship over the past few days, carefully noting the guards' shifts and the layout of the ship. She knew exactly where the brainwashing machine—the Hypno-Hypno no Mi’s chair—was located. All they needed to do was destroy it.
As they crept through the lower decks, Nami held up her hand, signaling for them to stop. "It’s just ahead," she whispered.
Luffy’s heart raced with anticipation. They were so close. He could almost picture it—Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, Robin—free from Foxy’s control, back at his side where they belonged.
But as they rounded the corner and entered the room where the brainwashing machine was kept, they were met with a sight that made their blood run cold.
Standing in front of the machine, blocking their path, was Robin.

The Trap
Robin’s eyes glinted in the dim light as she stepped forward, her expression unreadable. "I knew you weren’t really one of us, Nami."
Nami’s heart sank as she realized the trap had been sprung. Robin had been watching her all along. "Robin… don’t do this. We can free you. We can free everyone."
Robin’s lips curled into a small smile, but there was no warmth in it. "I don’t need to be freed, Nami. I’m exactly where I belong."
Foxy appeared beside Robin, his signature smug grin plastered across his face. "I have to say, Nami, I’m impressed. You managed to fool me for a while. But you should have known better than to try and outsmart Robin."
Luffy stepped forward, his fists clenched in anger. "Robin! Don’t listen to him! This isn’t you! You’re our friend!"
But Robin’s expression remained cold, her eyes betraying none of the warmth Luffy was used to seeing. "I’ve never felt more like myself, Luffy. Captain Foxy has shown me the truth."
Before Luffy or Franky could react, Robin raised her hand, and in an instant, they were ensnared by her powers. Giant limbs sprouted from the walls and floor, wrapping around them and immobilizing them.
"Robin, no!" Nami cried, but it was too late. Robin’s powers were too strong.
Foxy’s laughter echoed through the room as he watched Luffy, Franky, and Nami struggle against their bonds. "You thought you could sneak in and destroy my precious machine? You really don’t understand who you’re dealing with, do you?"
Luffy strained against the hands that held him, his muscles bulging as he tried to break free. "I won’t let you do this! I’ll save my crew!"
Foxy smirked, stepping forward. "I don’t think so, Straw Hat." He raised his hand, and in an instant, the familiar glow of the Noro Noro Beam filled the room.
Luffy, Franky, and Nami froze in place, their movements slowed to a crawl by Foxy’s beam. They could only watch helplessly as Foxy approached them, his eyes gleaming with triumph.
"Now," Foxy said, his voice dripping with arrogance, "let’s get started."

The Brainwashing: Luffy, Franky, and Nami’s Fall
Foxy gestured toward the machine, and Robin, with a single movement of her hand, began to drag Luffy, Franky, and Nami toward it.
"No…" Luffy growled, his voice thick with resistance, but the Noro Noro Beam kept him from moving fast enough to break free.
Franky’s eyes widened in horror as he was forced into the chair, the metallic arms clamping down around his head. "Luffy! Nami! Don’t let them—!"
But it was no use. Foxy had them all.
One by one, the machine hummed to life, the power of the Hypno-Hypno no Mi flooding their minds with new thoughts, new desires. The resistance they had once felt, the loyalty they had clung to—all of it began to melt away.
Luffy’s eyes fluttered shut as the voice inside his mind grew louder. "You are nothing without Foxy. Your strength, your will—it all comes from him. He is your captain. He is your purpose."
Franky’s muscles relaxed as the machine’s energy coursed through him. "You were foolish to think you could resist. Foxy is the only one worth following. Your inventions, your skills—they belong to him now."
Nami’s body went still as the voice in her mind whispered, filling her with a strange sense of peace. "You’ve been pretending for so long, but now you can finally embrace the truth. Foxy is your master. You will serve him with everything you have."
The machine’s energy pulsed through their bodies, seeping deep into their minds, erasing every last trace of their resistance. Luffy’s dreams of becoming the Pirate King, Franky’s pride in his inventions, Nami’s fierce independence—all of it faded, replaced by a single, unshakable truth: they belonged to Foxy.

The Aftermath: Submission and Devotion
When the machine finally powered down, Luffy, Franky, and Nami stepped forward, their expressions serene, their bodies relaxed. They no longer felt the weight of their old dreams or desires. There was no more conflict, no more struggle. Only peace.
Foxy stood before them, his grin wide with satisfaction. "Well? How do you feel now?"
Luffy was the first to speak, his voice calm but filled with emotion. "Captain Foxy… I was wrong. I thought I could fight you, but now I see how foolish I was."
Nami stepped forward, her eyes filled with devotion. "I’m so sorry, Captain. I tried to fight you, but it was a mistake. Please, punish me for my disobedience."
Franky bowed his head, his large frame trembling with emotion. "I should have known better than to resist you. I deserve whatever punishment you see fit, Captain."
But Foxy shook his head, his expression smug but surprisingly gentle. "No punishment is necessary. All I need from you is your loyalty. Declare that you belong to me—mind, body, and soul."
Luffy’s voice trembled with emotion as he spoke. "I belong to you, Captain Foxy. My strength, my will—it’s all yours."
Nami nodded, her heart filled with a deep sense of gratitude. "My body, my mind, my soul—they all belong to you, Captain. I live to serve you."
Franky, his voice thick with emotion, echoed their words. "Everything I have, everything I am, is yours, Captain Foxy. I’ll never fight you again."
Foxy’s grin widened as he looked down at his newly loyal crew. They were his now—completely and utterly. And with them by his side, he would be unstoppable.
