Buster Call

"Sorry, everyone. I made the decision on my own without your consent!"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Moonlight pointed at the World Government flag he had cut to pieces and smiled.

"If you hadn't made the decision on your own, I wouldn't recognize you as our Vice-Captain!"

Zoro grinned at that.

Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke, his face obscured by the haze. "So this is Robin's enemy."

Usopp looked at Robin without saying anything, but his expression had never been more resolute.

Nami gave Moonlight a thumbs-up.

"Nicely done!"

Chopper waved his arms and shouted.

"Robin..."

Luffy looked at Moonlight.

"Moonlight, you've worked hard."

Then he pulled down his Straw Hat, took a deep breath, looked at Robin, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Robin, we've come to take you home!"

His voice instantly rang through all of Enies Lobby.

Everyone heard it loud and clear.

Even CP9 was stunned. Did the Straw Hat Crew really have this much courage?

The Franky Family, Paulie, and all the Marines fighting nearby also turned to look.

"Everyone!"

Robin froze. She suddenly remembered what the giant had told her: Right now, you may be all alone, but someday you'll definitely find companions. The sea is vast. Someday, you'll find companions willing to protect you... and live on with them.

Moonlight laughed heartily, feeling incomparably exhilarated. This was the Straw Hat Pirates. This was who they were!

He looked at Robin, held his breath, and roared:

"Ro... bin! Say it! Say that you want to live!"

Robin began to tremble. Tears streamed down her face as she looked at everyone and cried out hoarsely, "If I could really make one wish... I want to... I want to live!"

"Take me with you to the sea!"

"Alright. The rescue of Robin begins now."

Luffy clenched his fist.

"Roger, Captain!"

Everyone was stunned. Then Moonlight had already drawn his sword. "Extreme Ghost Sword Style: Storm Style!"

"Whoosh!"

Moonlight leaped into the sky with the Kusanagi Sword in hand.

"He flew?"

Lucci and the others were shocked, while Spandam's eyes widened. They had been stunned by the Straw Hat Crew's audacity. Mere pirates actually dared to defy the World Government?

By the time they reacted, Moonlight had already struck.

"This guy got ahead of me again!"

Zoro curled his lip. He had wanted to make a move, but Moonlight was too fast.

"This is the first time we've seen Moonlight fight from so close, right?"

Luffy and the others looked up.

Twelve Sword Auras descended from the sky and stabbed into the ground where the Tower of Justice, Spandam, and the others stood.

The Sword Auras were chillingly sharp.

Then, twelve Sword Auras hovered in the air.

They formed a sword formation! Moonlight's figure flashed and vanished, and in the next instant, dense slashes rained down like a storm!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The eight members of CP9 were instantly engulfed by Sword Aura. They tried to dodge, only to suddenly discover that invisible Sword Aura all around them had locked onto their bodies, leaving them completely unable to move.

Even Lucci was powerless. They could only endure the Sword Aura strikes head-on!

"So this is Moonlight's strength?"

"Lucci, you weren't wrong at all."

"No, it's even more terrifying than that!"

Kumadori and the other two were utterly shocked.

Lucci and the others said nothing, nor did they have time to. They immediately hardened their bodies like iron and endured the Sword Aura strikes.

When the final strike fell, the entire Tower of Justice was severed at its base. The whole tower collapsed, and Moonlight picked up Robin and returned to the platform before everyone.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't forget about me!"

Franky cried out in panic. The Sword Aura had also cut through the ground around him. His bound body began to fall, but fortunately, Luffy stretched out his arm and pulled him up.

"Everyone!"

The Straw Hat Crew was reunited once more. Robin looked at everyone and could not help but smile.

These were her companions! Everyone else smiled as well. Just as they were about to speak, a cannonball suddenly tore through the sky and slammed into a building nearby.

"Boom!"

The building collapsed with a thunderous crash.

Everyone was shocked and quickly turned around.

In the distant sea, ten Marine warships were approaching, followed by countless battleships.

At the head of the warships stood a man in a white suit.

It was none other than Marine Admiral Aokiji!

The Buster Call had arrived! Robin collapsed to the ground.

The terrifying memories that had haunted her for twenty years surged back like a flood!

"So this is the Buster Call?"

Luffy and the others all turned grave.

"That's right. This is the Buster Call that sweeps across the seas, invincible and unstoppable, one that no pirate, no matter how powerful, can survive. One Admiral commands it, five Vice Admirals follow, ten warships lead the way, and countless battleships form its ranks. It is capable of redrawing the map!"

At that moment, the seven members of CP9 apart from Spandam stepped into the air using Geppo.

After suffering Moonlight's strike, apart from Lucci and Kaku, who had avoided fatal wounds, the other five had all been seriously injured.

But they were CP9, intelligence agents under the World Government. Each one was a warrior tempered through life-and-death trials and pushed beyond the limits of the human body. How could they die so easily?

Lucci held his bleeding arm and spoke calmly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As if in answer to him, a thousand cannons fired at once. Enies Lobby immediately came under devastating attack.

The main gate was blasted away in an instant, and building after building collapsed. Under the Buster Call, a thousand cannons concentrated their fire, their power terrifying beyond measure.

It was the first time everyone had witnessed such terrifying Marine firepower!

"An Admiral, five Vice Admirals, ten warships, and countless battleships? The Buster Call is indeed terrifying. Luffy, everyone, I'll hold them off. Take this chance and leave."

Moonlight held the Kusanagi Sword and spoke calmly.

"Don't make me laugh. Who do you think you are? You want to take on the Buster Call alone?"

Before Luffy and the others could respond, Kaku and the others began mocking him.

You were indeed strong, so strong that CP9 had no power to resist at all. But that was the Buster Call.

Who on the entire sea could stand against a Buster Call?

Yet Moonlight ignored them and looked at Robin.

"Robin, is this the nightmare you've carried for twenty years? Watch me shatter it today!"

After saying that, he ignored CP9's mocking expressions and sent a massive crescent-shaped Sword Aura slashing forward.

The simultaneous barrage of a thousand cannons was instantly cut apart by one slash.

Not only that, the Sword Aura extended an enormous distance. Only after cutting through several successive cannon barrages did it gradually fade away.

"Sky-Breaking Iai Slash!"

The Buster Call was abruptly interrupted!

Heaven and earth fell silent. Every Marine was dumbfounded by the sight before them. Aokiji abruptly stood up and looked toward the island, his gaze seeming to pierce through space and land upon Moonlight.

The five Vice Admirals behind him also showed astonishment and all looked over, seemingly shocked by who had actually interrupted the Buster Call! Lucci and the others froze as well, while everyone on Enies Lobby turned to look.

Robin stood rooted to the spot, staring at Moonlight. Moonlight gave her a gentle smile, then used Dragon Severing Void, moving through the air as though he were using Geppo.

But his speed and momentum were more than ten times greater than Geppo!

Everyone stared in shock as Moonlight reached the sea outside Enies Lobby and faced every Marine. His gaze settled on Aokiji. Alone with a single sword, he faced the Buster Call!
