All Members Present!

Jabra bristled with anger, instinctively wanting to snap back, but unfortunately, Xi Yan simply turned his head and ignored him, leaving the man's face twisted purple with rage.

"Robin, you heard all that, didn't you?" Xi Yan said, looking at Nico Robin.

Robin said nothing, her expression deeply conflicted. She didn't understand why this new Straw Hat Pirates crewmate would go this far for her.

She had heard him clearly—this crewmate was challenging the Buster Call!

That was the Buster Call... enough to annihilate an entire island!

"Hahaha, that's amazing!!" Franky laughed loudly. "Now that's what a man should do!"

Challenging the Buster Call—this kid sure had guts, but somehow it got him fired up.

Fearless Franky was swept up by Xi Yan's bold words. If the guy could really crush the Buster Call, the Straw Hat Pirates would make history!!

Bursting into Judicial Island and smashing the Buster Call—both would shatter the World Government's eight-hundred-year record!

"Why, why are you doing this? I already told you..." Robin bit her lip. "Why go this far for someone like me..."

"I've gone this far, and you still won't change your mind?" Xi Yan frowned. "Just how heavy is that mountain pressing on your heart?"

"Hmph, now you get it."

Spandam, walking out with CP9, sneered at Xi Yan. "As long as I hold the Buster Call, this woman won't dare do a thing."

Suddenly, Luffy's voice came from a distant window.

"Hey!"

"Xi Yan, you there?!"

"Robin!!"

"That voice... Luffy?!" Robin's pupils shrank.

He'd actually made it this close?

"Looks like they're not slow either," Xi Yan said.

Peering through a gap in the window, Xi Yan could see Luffy standing on the rooftop of the Judgement Hall.

Clearly, because Xi Yan had used Shadow Clones to cause chaos on the Inner Island, Luffy and the others hadn't faced much resistance.

Even inside the Judgement Hall, plenty of enemies had been taken out by Xi Yan along the way.

"Heh, didn't think they'd actually dare to barge in," Kaku sneered. "Pirates—is that why you're so confident?"

"Naturally," Xi Yan said. "I always believed Luffy and the others could make it here."

With that, Xi Yan glanced at Robin. "Let's go. Since Luffy's already here, tell him whatever's on your mind yourself."

As the words fell, two flashes of Cold light streaked through the air, and the Chains binding Franky and Nico Robin were all severed by Xi Yan.

As the Chains clattered to the ground, Spandam's face twisted. Was this guy provoking them?

But thankfully, Sea Stone was as hard as diamond—without a special Sea Stone key, there was no way to unlock the Handcuffs and Save people!

"Haha, finally free!" Franky said excitedly.

Being trapped in those Chains was awful. Now that he was loose, he wanted to kill these bastards alongside Ninja Bro!

But before he could say anything, Xi Yan grabbed him and Nico Robin, vanishing from the spot in an instant.

This scene made CP9's pupils contract.

"Damn it, where did they go?!" Spandam roared.

"Over by the balcony," Onimaru Owl said, pointing at the window.

They hadn't left—just moved to the balcony. Looked like they planned to have a word with Straw Hat?

Puzzled, all of CP9 walked over.

After glancing at Xi Yan standing to the side, they stepped onto the balcony and silently watched the distant Straw Hat.

"Right, it's too far—he won't be able to leave easily," Spandam nodded.

He didn't know how the guy got here, but Spandam didn't think he could carry two people and jump that distance.

"Robin!"

"Xi Yan!"

Luffy grinned excitedly at them. "I'm here!"

"Hey, what about me?!"

"Oh, Franky."

Franky: ...

Was he just an afterthought?

"Haha, wait a sec, I'll be right there." Luffy sized up the distance. "It's a bit far, but I can give it a shot."

With the Gum-Gum Fruit's power, maybe he could leap across in one go.

"Wait!" Robin stopped him. "Who asked you to come Save me?!"

"I don't want to live anymore—don't you get it yet?!"

Luffy was visibly stunned, his grip on the roof gradually loosening before he finally let his arm drop weakly.

"After everything, how can you still say something like that?" Franky stared dumbfounded at Nico Robin. He'd never seen anyone so twisted.

"Hey, what the hell are you thinking?!" Franky pointed at Xi Yan, then at Luffy. "This Ninja Bro here is willing to take on the World Government's Buster Call for you."

"And Straw Hat and his crew fought all the way here. Now you're saying this?"

"Hahaha, how amusing." Spandam laughed loudly. "Your partners come all this way to save you, and this woman doesn't even have the guts to resist. How hilarious."

"Hey, have you ever seen a scene this funny? Pirates turning on each other and all."

"I can't wait to see Straw Hat's face. This guy..."

"Man, dying or not..." Luffy said, picking his nose. "What are you babbling about?"

Spandam: ???

He's... he's picking his nose?!

Does this guy have a brain at all? Nico Robin is rejecting him, and he's not even reacting—just picking his nose?

"Listen, Robin." Luffy said calmly. "We're already here. Whether you live or die, we'll settle that after we save you."

"Boom!!"

With a loud crash, the floor behind them was blown open into a Big Hole, and Nami and Chopper flew out from it.

"Ah~"

"Safe landing." Nami sighed in relief as she hit the ground.

"Thud~"

"Not safe..." Chopper said, sprawled on the floor.

Next, Zoro crawled out of the Hole Entrance, rubbing his head. "Yeah, this is definitely the easiest way."

"You idiot, it was you!" Nami cursed.

If they hadn't been lucky, Zoro's slash would've killed them all.

"You're fine, aren't you?" Zoro said calmly.

Nami: ???

"Boom!!"

"Laozi's here!" Sanji kicked through the floor and flew out, landing in a free pose.

"I must've been first, right~" Sanji said with a grin.

Then he saw Zoro staring at him with contempt.

"Yo, Color Cook, finally showed up? Get lost?"

Sanji: ???

"That... that coming out of your mouth?!"

Sanji was furious. Getting asked if he was lost by a directionless idiot—and that bastard was a Green Algae Head too. He instantly turned red.

"Tch~"

"Bastard!"

"Hey, catch me!!"

Usopp shot up from below, shouting for his Partners, then slammed headfirst into the floor.

"Why... why didn't anyone catch me..."

"Hey, you okay, Sniper King!"

"I can't believe these people actually made it here..." Kalifa said incredulously. "How did they get through the Gods of Water?"

"Looks like that man wasn't bluffing." Blueno glanced at Xi Yan. "They've got some real strength."

Breaking through to this point proved the Straw Hat Pirates' power—and that man's resolve to fight the Buster Call might be genuine too.
