Title: Trading Up
Topic: Trade (vaguely anyway)
Rating: PG
Pairing: Franky-centric...imply what you will
Word Count: 414 (I fail! I fail badly)
This may well be the stupidest thing I have ever written. And I’ve never written for Franky before so forgive me...
Franky sighed, looking once more through the store’s merchandise. He was really hoping they would have it, unlike the five other places he had already been today. It was starting to look like none of the shops on this island carried the one piece of equipment the shipwright needed.
Damn, it was getting late too. He needed to head back to the ship soon or the navigator was going to chew him out for messing up her schedule...again.
“Excuse me sir, do you need some assistance?”
Franky blinked at the neatly dressed clerk, not really used to being addressed so, well, nicely. “Umm...yeah, I need another one of these. It’s getting kind of worn.”
The clerk rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “I don’t think so, it’s a bit of an older model. Though I suppose I could order it in for you. It might take a week or so though.”
“Crap, I don’t have that kind of time.”
“I’m sorry. Would you be interested in trading up then?”
“Trading up?”
“To a newer model. We carry the very finest products here. All of this years top sellers, made with quality I assure you.”
“I guess. What do you have that’s good?”
The clerk began showing him all sorts of rather interesting items. “Well this one is very popular. And this one, not as fancy but very durable. This one is my personal favorite, I use it myself actually.”
“I think I need something bigger then that.”
“Then might I recommend this one. Note the fine workmanship, perfect for everyday use. Fine looking but at a very reasonable price.”
“Yeah, that’d be perfect. I’ll take two, no, make that three. Might as well be prepared.”
“Excellent sir, shall I wrap them up for you?”
“Sure, but leave one out. I wanna show it to my shipmates.”

Later...
“Franky! What the hell is THAT?!”
“Oh, they didn’t have any like my old one so I traded up for the new model. Pretty super huh?”
“Sugoi...”
“Luffy!”
“But it’s cool Nami, I want one too! Ohh and Usopp should get one.”
“Gah! Wha? No...”
“Doctor-san...Swordsmen-san seemed to have developed a nosebleed.”
“Ahh, not again!”
“Franky! Pirates are not suppose to wear frilly black satin panties!!!”
“I hate to point this out, but don’t you have a pair like that Miss Navigator?”
“R-robin! Don’t tell them about my underwear drawer!”
“Nnnnammmmi-Swan...black...pppantiiessss...”
Thud
“Eeee! Sanji not you too! I need more cotton to shop the blood!!!”
“They’re really comfortable too...”
