Roger, Gorousei, Nico Robin, Kokoro ### Summary Page 0: ONE PIECE. CHAPTER 355: "SPANDAM". The chapter opens on a quiet cover image rather than the present trial drama: a bundled archer stands in a cold, mountainous landscape, bow drawn and aimed with deliberate calm, while another figure follows behind with arrows. The stillness of the snow and the hunting pose set a sharp contrast with the turmoil waiting inside the chapter. No clear speech or story dialogue appears on this page beyond the title information, so the page serves as the chapter's visual threshold and title card rather than a direct continuation of the flashback. Page 1: DURING THE 10 YEARS OF POSTPONEMENT... "TOM'S WORKERS" WERE SUCCESSFUL IN OPENING THE "SEA TRAIN" TO THE PUBLIC. AFTER THAT, THEY SPENT 4 YEARS COMPLETING THE OTHER 3 RAILWAYS. With the sea train finally running, cargo reaches Water Seven again, but the town has not yet been saved from hardship. Workers unload supplies and call out, "THE WOOD FROM ST. BURABO IS HERE!!!" Another man asks, "WAS THE TRADE GOOD?" The answer is bitter: "NO. THEY'RE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF OUR NEED FOR MATERIALS." He adds, "SAN FALDO'S IRON'S THE SAME, IT'S SO EXPENSIVE." The shipyard still trembles on the edge of ruin. "SO THE SHIPYARD IS STILL BANKRUPT." Even so, Tom's apprentices do not surrender to despair. "WE'LL DO SOMETHING THIS TIME!" Above it all hangs the coming judgment: TOM WAITED FOR THE JUDGEMENT OF THE "SHIHOUSEN." WHETHER IT WOULD BE EXECUTION OR ACQUITTAL WILL BE DECIDED IN 3 DAYS. Page 2: Iceburg looks at the town's recovery with worry rather than celebration. "EVERYBODY'S HAPPY ABOUT BEING ABLE TO CROSS THE OCEAN. BUT THE TRADE IS STILL NOT ANY GOOD. THE TOWN'S STILL NOT GOING TO CHANGE..." Tom answers him with his huge laugh and the patience of a craftsman who has seen work take root slowly: "TAHA...!! BUT PEOPLE HAVE VIGOR! THE RESULTS WON'T BE THIS FAST, ICEBURG." For Tom, the value of the sea train is not measured only in immediate profit. "WHEN A MAN'S DOING ALL HE CAN... HE JUST THRUSTS HIS CHEST OUT...!!" Then the ordinary rhythm of the yard is interrupted by a call. "HELLO. IS THAT YOU?" The voice says, "THE SHIPWRIGHT, MR. TOM... IT WAS HARD LOCATING YOU. EXCUSE ME, BUT..." A small "WEEE..." trails through the panel. Tom and Iceburg pause, the mood tightening into suspicion. "HM?" "....." "YEAH." "HM?" Page 3: The caller does not arrive quietly. A government man bursts into Tom's world with smoke, noise, and theatrical confidence. "I'D LIKE TO HAVE A WORD ... WITH YOU!!" The sudden entrance startles the workers: "WAH..." Behind him, agents panic over the dramatic scene and cry, "SPANDAM-SAN!!" The man introduces himself as though the name alone should bend the room around him: "I AM SPANDAM OF CIPHER-POL NO.5!!!" The page identifies him plainly: CIPHERPOL NO.5 SUPERVISOR SPANDAM. His posture is all arrogance, but the people around Tom do not yet understand what he has come to take. The tone shifts from the hopeful labor of Water Seven to the shadow of the World Government, and Spandam's appearance turns the coming trial into something more dangerous than a legal judgment. Page 4: Before Spandam can command the scene fully, Franky's own chaos crashes into it. A cannon blast clips the newcomer, and Franky shouts without shame, "OW!! SORRY!! I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, BUT I KINDA HIT YOU WITH THE CANNON!!" Then his apology turns instantly into self-praise. "AND... N~~~!! SUPER~~~!!!" He returns in triumph with his latest armed creation: "I DEFEATED A SEA KING!!!" The panel announces it with Franky's pride blazing across the page: "BATTLE FRANKY NO. 35" RETURNS!!! Around him, people stare at the massive sea beast and gasp, "LOOK!! IT'S HUGE!!" and "IT'S AT LEAST 100M LONG!!" Iceburg, however, sees less glory than danger. Looking at Franky and the weapon he has made, he mutters, "THAT IDIOT... IS INCORRIGIBLE...!!!" Page 5: Iceburg's patience breaks. He attacks the problem the only way he can think to: by trying to destroy Franky's dangerous ships himself. Franky yells, "AAAAAH!! STOP IT, AHOBURG!!!" Iceburg fires back, "IF YOU CAN'T DO IT, I'LL TURN IT INTO SCRAP FOR YOU!!" The argument is old and raw. "YOU'RE STILL MAKING THESE WEIRD BATTLESHIPS!!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?" Franky insists the proof is in his victory: "NMAA!! LISTEN, FRANKY. YOU BEAT A SEA KING, RIGHT? THAT MEANS THIS THING IS REALLY DANGEROUS!!!" Iceburg presses the real point: "I DON'T GET WHY YOU LEAVE DOZENS OF THEM LYING AROUND!" Franky objects, "IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'RE GONNA ATTACK PEOPLE ON THEIR OWN!!!" Iceburg answers, "I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOUR WILL!! I'M QUESTIONING THE EXISTENCE OF SUCH DANGEROUS WEAPONS, BAKANKY!!!" He turns to Tom in frustration: "TOM-SAN, SAY SOMETHING!! HE'S DIRTYING THE COMPANY NAME!!" Tom only laughs, "TAHA...
