Critical danger
This resulted in the Buster Call warships, which had assembled, heading towards Enies Lobby earlier than Haku had anticipated!
Haku watched the spectacle unfold, anticipating the arrival of the Buster Call warships.
Haku didn't seem to feel that much urgency!
However, if Luffy and his crew haven't rescued Nico Robin yet!
Then they'll really be facing the full force of the Buster Call!
The Bridge of Hesitation, inside the pillars. Gear Second Luffy vs. Leopard Form Lucci. Luffy entrusts Robin to Franky, who has arrived.
With the Buster Call activated, the Gate of Justice have been fully opened. Spandam has already reported this to the World Government!
Of course, he didn't mention a word about accidentally triggering the Buster Call, and instead shifted all the blame onto the Straw Hat Pirates!
The compilation of these messages made all the leaders of the World Government feel that this was an unprecedented event.
The Buster Call is expected to arrive at Enies Lobby in two minutes.
Spandam led Robin to the Bridge of Hesitation.
During this time, he repeatedly mocked the Straw Hat Pirates in front of Robin, saying, "Look at your so-called crew, they're probably running away in fear by now! Haha, the Straw Hat Pirates are nothing but a rabble, how could they possibly withstand the power of the Buster Call? Your doom is coming!"
Robin listened quietly to Spandam's taunts, her face expressionless, as if these words had no effect on her. She had only one thought in her mind: to escape this place as quickly as possible and return to her companions.
However, Spandam had no intention of letting her go. He continued to mock her, "You think you can escape? Robin, your fate is sealed. You will become my prisoner and be taken back to the World Government to receive your due punishment!"
Just then, a strong tremor came, and the entire Bridge of Hesitation began to shake.
Spandam looked into the distance in horror, only to see the Buster Call warships already in sight, their cannon fire flashing in the sky, as if they were about to raze the entire Enies Lobby to the ground.
"No! How can this be!" Spandam cried out in horror, "How could the Buster Call have come so quickly!"
Robin also spotted the warships in the distance, a determined glint in her eyes. She knew this was her only chance to escape. She had to seize the chaos and find a way to survive.
Upon witnessing the destructive power of the Buster Call, Spandam laughed and exclaimed, "What a terrifying attack! Faced with such a transformation! The Straw Hat Pirates' disgrace of attacking the World Government's flag will be erased by the Buster Call, just like that Giant Vice Admiral in Ohara twenty years ago!"
These words were a direct wake-up call for Nico Robin!
At this moment, Robin finally learned that the person in front of him was Spandine's biological son.
Spandine was the one who initiated the Buster Call on Ohara!
Memories of the past surfaced one by one, and these hidden recollections caused Nico Robin's body to tremble involuntarily. The horrific scene of Ohara being destroyed by the Buster Call twenty years ago flashed through her mind—the innocent lives, the destroyed homes—it all seemed as if it had just happened yesterday.
"Ohara..." Robin murmured to herself, her eyes filled with anger and sorrow, "Those innocent scholars, they were only pursuing knowledge, and this is how they met their end!"
Spandam looked at Robin's expression and felt a surge of smugness. He thought Robin was intimidated by the power of the Buster Call, but he didn't expect the anger and sorrow in Robin's heart.
"Haha, Robin, now you know! Your companions aren't coming to save you! They're probably in deep trouble themselves!" Spandam sneered.
However, Robin ignored his taunts. She had only one thought in her mind: to avenge Ohara and to seek justice for those innocent scholars.
Spandam pushed Robin forward toward the Gate of Justice, already fantasizing about how his superiors would value Nico Robin after handing her over!
Navy soldiers lined up before the Gate of Justice to welcome the "hero" Spandam. Spandam then stepped into the gates of his own dreams.
Behind them, Franky, who was supposed to catch up with Robin and the others to enter the Gate of Justice, was blown away by a landmine that had been planted!
Now, in addition to the area outside Enies Lobby, there's the constant barrage of gunfire from those dozen or so Marine warship!
The Straw Hat Pirates' situation is becoming increasingly dire!
Robin shed the most bitter tears of her life. Was there no hope left?
Just as Spandam was about to take his "heroic" first step, a bullet from an unknown source struck him. The entire navy was on high alert, completely unaware of the enemy's location. For it was a "Miracle Shot" from the King of Snipers!
"Who? Who's there!" The Marines looked around, trying to find the mysterious sniper. However, Usopp had already used his stealth skills to disappear into the dense bushes.
Robin looked at Spandam lying on the ground, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She hadn't expected that in this moment of despair, someone would be willing to stand up and save her. And that person was none other than Usopp, whom she had always overlooked.
"Usopp..." Robin murmured to herself, a warm feeling welling up inside her. She knew that she had not been abandoned, and that there were still people fighting for her.
The Buster Call warships were drawing ever closer, and the sound of gunfire grew clearer. However, the Straw Hat Pirates did not give up. They knew that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they could not give up.
What just hit Spandam was Usopp who tied three Seastone Key together and shot them at him, knocking Spandam down!
Now, because Franky didn't arrive in time...
Nico Robin herself was also unable to reach Spandam and retrieve the Seastone Key!
Haku, sitting atop the threshold of the Gate of Justice, shook his head, channeling a slight amount of his Spiritual Power.
Use the wind to blow the number five Key lying on the ground to Nico Robin's side.
Nico Robin looked at the number five Key lying in front of her and felt a strong will to survive. She knew this was her only chance to escape her predicament.
Robin quickly picked up the Key; she needed to unlock her handcuffs as soon as possible, escape, and return to her friends.
Just as she was about to unlock the handcuffs, another strong tremor struck. The Buster Call warships had resumed bombarding Enies Lobby, and the entire island was shrouded in smoke and fire.
Robin had no time to hesitate. She quickly inserted the Key into the lock of the handcuffs and turned it forcefully. The handcuffs opened with a click, and Robin was finally free.
