Chapter 328 summary
Sanji and Chopper ride a Yagara bull through Water 7 while discussing a masked man seen with Robin and Aokiji's warning. They return to the docked Going Merry where Zoro sleeps on deck. At Dock 1, Iceburg tells Luffy and Nami that Going Merry cannot be repaired because its keel is broken beyond fixing, and no identical replacement ship can be built. Luffy refuses to accept a new vessel and insists the crew will keep sailing on Merry. Government officer Corgi arrives to speak with Iceburg, forcing Luffy and Nami to hide, at which point they discover their briefcases of money have been switched for empty ones. Paulie reveals that the Franky Family carried off Usopp, prompting Nami to send Luffy after them and then race by boat herself to the Franky House area. She finds Usopp beaten and collapsed in a plaza, where he admits the Frankys stole the money. Nami declares they will recover it as Usopp apologizes.
