Enemies of the World, Never Abandoning Each Other

Enies Lobby, the main island.

"Hurry, hurry!"

"Take up your weapons and support the front court!"

"Damn it, the opponent's ability user is too strong..."

"Wake up Oimo and Kashii, and let those two big guys take over!"

When Luffy and his crew advanced to the main island, which was suspended above a huge void, they were blocked by two Giant race warriors who were fifteen meters tall.

"Oh, you little brats, you've disturbed Oimo's sleep!"

"Oh, get back here! Otherwise, Kashii will beat you to a pulp!"

Two Giant race warriors roared as they charged toward Roman's 'Paper Puppet Army'. These behemoths were not necessarily stronger than a naval captain, but once they unleashed their power, their destructive force was beyond what an ordinary captain could match! After all, their massive size and strength were undeniable.

"Luffy, finish this quickly!"

"Good!"

As Roman sprinted towards the other side, the paper puppet behind him rapidly transformed into paper, wrapping him up in it. With each step he took, he grew larger! When he traversed dozens of meters and arrived in front of a giant, he had already transformed into a White Armor Giant, also over ten meters tall.

His five cylindrical fingers clenched into a fist! Amidst the opponent's exclamation, "You're Giant race too?", he parried and deflected the opponent's giant axe with a single block, then stepped forward with his other hand and delivered a house-sized uppercut, slamming his fist into the opponent's jaw!

On the other side,

As Luffy leaped into the air, he bit his finger and blew air into it, causing his arm and fist to suddenly inflate like a balloon.

"Third Gear,"

"Rubber Giant Gun!"

The gigantic arm lashed out! Although it looked comical on its 'small' body, the white shockwaves in front of the fist clearly demonstrated its immense power! The giant warrior who was sent flying backward, weighing tens of tons, was a clear example.

"Tsk, why won't you let me make a move?"

As Zoro leaped past, grumbling, the White Giant Knight had easily defeated his opponent began to disintegrate, transforming back into groups of paper puppet soldiers, each with their own role. Roman, who jumped out from the disintegrating paper, waved his hand.

"Your single strike severely injured them. These two giants aren't..."

"Sniper King!"

Roman turned to look at Usopp behind him, "These two giants are yours! Aren't you on good terms with the warriors of Elbaf?"

???

"Ugh, I only know two giants!"

Usopp burst into tears! Don't be fooled by how easily Luffy and Roman can defeat their opponents; anyone else would have to put in a lot of effort, after all, these are giant warriors.

"Liar! How could the great warriors of Elbaf possibly know a little brat like you?"

Usopp was enraged by the giant warrior lying on the ground questioning him.

"I wasn't lying, I encountered both the Blue Ogre and the Red Ogre in the Little Garden— "

"The boss and the others?!" X2

·······

Great, Usopp managed to get these two key fighters who cleared out the grunts to defect. All that's left is to take down CP9 and—

Puff,

Thump!

A Swordsman Paper Puppet was pierced by a claw, while another Heavy Armor Paper Puppet was knocked over by a huge iron ball, which made Roman's eyes flash.

Finally, Enies Lobby's true 'elite' forces began to be deployed. The High-Speed Guard Unit riding on police dogs, the burly Guilty Jury with chains and iron balls in their hands, and the word 'guilty' emblazoned on their left arms, all made their appearance, finally putting some resistance on the Straw Hat crew's advance.

But it's only a little bit!

"Charge, charge, charge! Don't get entangled with them, our goal is to save people."

With Roman's Paper Puppet clearing the way regardless of the losses, the Straw Hat crew finally reached the building called the 'Chamber of Judgment'. Once they climbed over this building, they would find the Justice Tower where Robin was imprisoned.

"Damn it, how could this happen?!"

Even if Spandam was incredibly stupid, the lightning and thunder in the sky, along with the approaching shouts and commotion, finally made him realize what was happening. And when Luffy suddenly leaped onto the roof of the Chamber of Judgment, Spandam, who was peeking through the window, broke out in a cold sweat.

"This guy is... Straw Hat Kid!"

"How could this be? How did he get here? There were only five casualties..."

Luffy, who was the first to fly onto the roof, roared to the sky!

"Robin!!!"

As Luffy shouted, a faint but domineering aura spread out, a nonchalant glance from a lion or tiger, yet to ordinary people, it was like having their hearts choked with fear! Spandam, behind the window, was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

When questioned by his subordinates, Spandam, drenched in cold sweat, finally realized what was happening.

"Where's Lucci? Where's CP9?"

"Quickly, get them to gather here! Quickly, get them to protect me!!"

"Also, tell the presiding judge of the Chamber of Judgment, 'Three-Headed Baskerville,' that if he lets the pirates lower the drawbridge, I'll cut off his three heads!"

"What about the Straw Hat crew? Kill them all! You bastards, hurry up and go—"

·······

"Lift your head, Nicole Robin."

Franky, who was tied up to the side, looked at the elite agents who were running around in panic. He could tell from their faces how powerful the attacker was.

"Your companions have arrived here; that's quite unexpected..."

"I know you surrendered for the sake of your comrades, but you also heard Spandam's order just now: kill without mercy."

What are you still running away from?

Franky sighed as he watched Robin remain silent.

"You'll harm your companions if you do this. I'll send you to see them now—and then tell them your true feelings aloud."

"How many people are coming—?"

"What are you doing--!"

By the time Spandam came to his senses, Franky, who was tied up to the side, had swollen his lower body like a ball, which looked very ominous.

"Ah, I'm about to self-destruct."

Franky merely glanced calmly at the panicked Spandam and his numerous elite agents, looking as if to say, "I don't want to live anymore, I'm going to drag a few of them down with me."

"Anyway, I'm not going to have a good time coming, so bring it on, within a three-kilometer radius—"

!??

"Aaaaaah! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!!"

Spandam was the first to flee the room in terror, and as soon as their 'leader' ran, the other agents instinctively followed suit. The result was:

"Great opportunity! Let's go, Nico Robin!"

Franky suddenly stretched out his foot and grabbed Robin, and a violent shockwave suddenly erupted from his lower body.

"The Wind Jet!"

Boom—

Amidst a burst of cola-scented gas, Franky and Robin slammed violently into the wall behind them! They crashed through the wall, breaking the chains binding them, before finally being brought to a stop by the fence outside the building.

On their opposite side:

"Robin!"

"Damn it, we've been tricked! Grab them—"

As the agents rushed back, Franky conjured weapons to block them while shouting without turning his head.

"Go, Nico Robin!"

"Go answer the call of your comrades! Since you have companions who are willing to risk their lives for you, you deserve a life under the sun!"

Is it really possible?

Step by step, I walked to the broken fence. On the other side Luffy, always smiling and wearing Straw Hat, and:

"Wait here, I'm coming right now to save you—"

"Enough!!!"

?

"Why did you come to save me? I didn't ask you to do that!"

Splash—

Behind Luffy, who was stunned, a white sheet of paper suddenly bulged up like a 'wave', and on it crouched Roman, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, and U... Sniper King, who flew in like a shooting star.

"I······"

Faced with these people who were willing to risk their lives for him, Robin took a deep breath and said the most resolute words.

"I don't want to live anymore!!"

???

Bang!

As Franky, who was blocking the agents, was suddenly slammed to the ground, smashing the floor and creating spiderweb-like cracks, the entire CP9 team arrived at the scene.

Hahaha~~~

With the backing of 'power', Spandam returned triumphantly.

"What an interesting scene! The rescuers rushed here, but the rescued don't want to leave."

"These are the guys?"

Jabura, dressed in a black training suit, looked at the Straw Hat crew standing on the opposite building.

"You actually fell into this guy's hands, really—"

"Yo yo yi,"

Carrying a Zen staff, a Lion Kanshō ground, its eyes wide open.

"The enemy forces are all formidable opponents not to be underestimated."

"Be careful, they're all experts!"

With its round, chubby body and a zipper around its mouth Kalifa also had a serious expression.

There won't be a second time.

Kaku, with his long nose, fixed his gaze on Zoro. He was determined to get revenge for the loss he had suffered at Zoro's hands before because he didn't have a suitable weapon!

"They've arrived as expected."

Rob Lucci, with a pigeon perched on his shoulder, had an unreadable expression, but his gaze swept back and forth between Luffy and Roman, as if he were lost in thought.

On their opposite side:

Luffy wearing Straw Hat, Roman with his hands in his pockets, Zoro holding his sword hilt, Nami holding a book, Usopp carrying a giant slingshot, Chopper Sanji into a half-beast...

Why,

Why did you come to save me?

I am but a pathetic creature destined to live in darkness and betrayal, unworthy to thirst for your light...

Since her hometown of Ohara was wiped off the map by Buster Call in search of the 'Poneglyph', the only surviving 8-year-old girl, Nico Robin, has been living a life of hiding and running.

Thank you for your help. Dinner will be ready soon.

The next second, a group of government agents walked up behind the kind old lady.

'But before that, a group of guests want to see you.'

Escape—

'Go to sleep, you'll come with me to buy supplies tomorrow.'

The kind uncle helped the little girl cover herself with the blanket, but then the little girl quietly got up and followed him.

'Look at this bounty! I'm going to be rich!'

Escape—

'I know you, Nicole Robin.'

The pirate captain, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, waved his hand.

"I'm also a wanted man. You work hard for me, and I'll give you some food."

The scene of naval bombardment was one of blood and fire.

'Cough cough, help me, help me—'

Escape—

'Please let me join the organization; I'll do anything.'

'Damn it, why are the elite Marine Headquarters here? Did Nico Robin lure them here—'

Escape—

·······

"Sorry,"

Facing her companions standing on the roof of the opposite building, the light seemed within reach, but the intelligent and beautiful Nicole Robin knew that a dark abyss separated her from them!

"The more I try to get closer to you, the more I will hurt you."

"The last time I encountered Aokiji, and this time, even if I escape to the ends of the earth, I still can't get rid of this clutches."

"Sooner or later you'll all see me as a burden, and then you'll betray and abandon me! That's what I fear most; I'm tired of running away."

Robin lowered his head. "If I have to die, why can't I choose to die now?"

"Hahaha, what a 'sensible' woman she is."

Spandam threw his head back and laughed wildly. The reason he was able to possess the 'power' of CP9 and do whatever he wanted was because he had the 'World Government' as his backing.

"Do you understand now, Straw Hat Kid!"

"Look at this flag!"

Spandam pointed upwards, and at the top of the Justice Tower, a white flag fluttered in the wind. Above it was a cross formed by four dots, symbolizing that the Four Seas was under his command.

"This represents 170 Affiliated Nation across the Four Seas and the Grand Line! This is the world!!"

The arrogant Spandam looked at the silent Straw Hat crew.

"Shouldn't you realize how insignificant you are in the face of the world?"

"You should now realize what a behemoth this woman is facing! You—"

"I see,"

Luffy tugged at his Straw Hat. "Sniper King, shoot down that flag."

??!!

Wearing a mask, Usopp didn't hesitate to pull back the giant slingshot in his hand, and then:

"Ultimate Move - Firebird Star!"

A ball of flame instantly leaped across the distance between the two buildings, then pierced through the flag that represented the authority of the entire 'world'!

"You... you... do you know what you're doing?!"

Spandam felt like he was going crazy, or maybe the pirates on the other side were.

"If you fight against the whole world, you will not survive—"

"I couldn't ask for more!!!"

Startled by Luffy's Haki, Spandam took a large step back. His lips moved, but he couldn't utter a single threatening word. Luffy, however, no longer glanced at Spandam, instead focusing intently on the woman named Nico Robin.

"Robin!!"

"I haven't heard you speak yet—"

You said, 'I want to live!!!'

——

Tears silently streamed down her face. Through the blur, she saw Luffy's serious face, the encouraging and smiling faces of the Straw Hat crew, and...

'The sea is so vast...'

The words of his childhood friend, Vice Admiral Haguval D. Saul, echoed in his ears once more: 'You will surely meet companions who will protect you!'

"I want to live!!"

Robin, with tears streaming down her face, cried her heart out in front of her companions.

"Take me to the sea!"

Hmph, so this is what a captain should be like. I'm no match for you, Luffy. Well then—

Splash splash~~~

Sheets of white paper emerged before the Straw Hat crew, forming a bridge that rapidly extended towards the building on the other side! Filling the darkness between them, the Straw Hat crew strode forward across the pure white bridge.

With firm steps and without hesitation, we will go even if there are millions of people against us!

"Robin, we've come to pick you up!!" X7

P. S.: I'm not going to break it into chapters anymore. By the way, I want to complain that my subscriptions are dropping every day, and now they're only half left... Am I writing something bad?
