Chapter 337 summary
Franky confronts the five Galley-La foremen at the ruined shipyard dock while Luffy stands nearby in confusion. Paulie accuses Luffy of attacking Iceberg and immediately binds him with ropes before hurling him into debris. Lucci, Kaku, and Lulu join the assault on Luffy as Franky tries to intervene and gets struck down by Tilestone. The foremen explain that Iceberg identified Nico Robin as one of the assailants and declare they will not allow the Straw Hats to escape. Luffy demands to see Iceberg and insists Robin is innocent while dodging further attacks. A crowd of shipwrights seizes Nami after recognizing her with Luffy. News of the Straw Hats' alleged crime spreads across Water 7 through newspapers delivered by coos. Nico Robin walks alone through the streets with a serious expression.
