"Roar roar roar~~"
Chopper roared to the sky, expressing his anger.
"Damn Robin!"
Luffy shouted it out again.
Smack! Nami punched Luffy head and said, "What did you say?!"
Luffy turned around and said, "Isn't that right? Why doesn't she want us to go and rescue her?"
Nami said helplessly, "I've explained it to you so many times, Robin was just trying to avoid getting us involved..."
I don't care about any of that!
"If we don't save her, she will be killed!"
Luffy huffed, "But she doesn't want to die, so we have to go save her!"
"..." Nami blinked. Although it sounded silly at first glance, it was logically correct.
It seems that this person is not only capable of fighting desperately, but also always able to say things that hit the nail on the head at crucial moments.
"Alright, Nami."
Retsu Unohana smiled and said, "You've known Luffy for a while now. Is he the kind of person who knows how to think and calculate gains and losses?"
"... You're right, I brought this on myself."
Nami sighed. "I'd better just fulfill my duty as a navigator. Robin, we'll definitely save you!"
"So you're Nico Robin."
In the second car of the Sea Train, the Puffing Tom, the CP9 members were either crouching on the roof or on guard in the front and rear cars, which allowed Robin and Franky, who were prisoners, to communicate freely.
Robin said, "And you're the one who possesses the blueprints for Pluton... What an irony of fate."
This allows her to always receive news from Pluton, while being reluctant to pursue the Poneglyph she truly desires.
"This is not irony, but rather a sign that fate is on the side of justice."
Lucci, with a pigeon perched on his shoulder, leaned against the carriage.
"Hmph, once the government gets its hands on Pluton, of course it will use it to end the Great Pirate Era. And then what?"
Franky raised an eyebrow, his face full of sarcasm. "The government will also send Pluton to collect the Heavenly Tribute. At that time, ordinary people won't even have a chance to resist. They'll be at the mercy of the government. Will you still consider yourself righteous then?"
Lucci calmly replied, "It seems you have a deep-seated prejudice against the government, Franky."
"Kid, all I know is what humanity is."
Franky, handcuffed with Seastone, looked intently at Lucci.
"You must have heard what the Celestial Dragons are like, right?"
"Can you imagine how many more Celestial Dragons would emerge in a government that possesses Pluton?"
Lucci's face showed a hint of annoyance as he said, "Watch your tone! The Celestial Dragons are descendants of gods! Gods don't need to take anything; everything in the world exists for the sake of gods!"
Franky, unconcerned by Lucci's anger, turned and said, "Nicole Robin, although I've only heard the gist of what happened to you, here's what I want to say."
No one in this world is born guilty!
If there is such a thing, it's just a baseless accusation imposed by those useless adults.
Franky grew increasingly agitated, saying, "It's the World Government that wants to harm your comrades, not you!"
You have absolutely no need to feel guilty or embarrassed about this; you should stand with them, even if it means death...
Peng!
Franky's head was suddenly flung to the side and slammed into the seat, his sunglasses shattering into pieces as if he had been struck by an invisible hammer, his words abruptly cut off.
"You talk too much, Franky."
Lucci straightened his tie and glanced at Franky, whose face was full of arrogance. "Order is always the greatest happiness for ordinary people, while you, who represent chaos, are the biggest cancer on this sea!"
"Hehe,"
After wiping his mouth, Franky, who had just been hit in the face by the opponent's " Flying Finger Pistol," retorted sarcastically.
Humans are not machines! The free spirit of humanity can never be bound!
"Unfortunately, you will never be free."
As the sea train slowly slowed down, a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting its light, Island of Nevernight, its workings unknown, appeared in the sea ahead.
This is CP9's headquarters and their destination: Enies Lobby!
"Go, go and face your judgment."
Lucci got up and walked outside.
Katcha!
Franky, who had just gotten out of the car, bit down on a Marine's head. "Go easy on me, you bastard!"
Who do you think I am?!
Be careful!
"This guy bites..."
In a flurry of activity, naval soldiers and elite agents escorted the two men toward Enies Lobby.
Then a huge waterfall appeared before them.
Yes, this is a waterfall in the sea.
The entire Enies Lobby is situated in a horseshoe-shaped pit in the middle of the ocean, as if something had fallen from the sky and blasted away the surrounding area, leaving only a suspended island.
"It seems Lucci and the others are back."
Inside the Tower of Justice behind the Sky Island, a man with short purple hair, a dark nose, and prominent dark circles under his eyes, whose face was partially covered by a leather hood, held a knife in one hand and a newspaper in the other.
His name is Spandam, the commander of CP9.
He is insidious, malicious, greedy, hypocritical, twisted, and perverted—in short, a guy who can be described with every derogatory term imaginable.
"After five years, their reunion brought me Nico Robin, who can decipher Poneglyphs, and Franky, who possesses the blueprints for Pluton. It's a double blessing!"
Spandam, smug with his petty ambitions, seemed to already envision himself rising through the ranks, marrying Celestial Dragons, and reaching the pinnacle of life...
"It's not that simple, sir."
As Lucci, wearing a white overcoat, led the team back, Kaku, Blueno, and Kalifa arrived at the office at the top of the Tower of Justice.
"There's a problem with the Robin Straw Hat Pirates's strength information!"
Lucci spoke, a sense of irritation welled up in his heart as he recalled the man who had withstood the Six Powers without any problems. He said, "If it weren't for the support troops covering the rear, this mission would have almost ended in failure."
Knowing those people as I do, they will definitely try to take Nicole Robin again.
"Don't panic, this is Enies Lobby."
Spandam waved his hand dismissively, "Unlike in City of Water 7, here you have tens of thousands of elite troops at your disposal, and this time the entire CP9 is present. You must be confident in dealing with them, right?"
"Of course, sir!"
"Very good," Spandam said, opening a drawer in his desk and taking out a box as he faced the battle-ready CP9 members.
"You've worked hard these past five years; this is the reward you deserve!"
Inside were two fruits with strange concentric patterns.
" Devil Fruit? Two of them..."
"I'm starting to think highly of you, sir."
"Hehe, I have my own connections."
Spandam smiled smugly. Although his entire being was a derogatory term, he still possessed a certain degree of skill in managing his subordinates, thanks to the influence of his family.
He pushed the opened box towards the CP9 members, saying, "Distribute them yourselves and improve your combat strength as quickly as possible!"
That way they can work even harder for me~
However, what they didn't expect was that the Straw Hat Pirates arrived earlier and faster than they anticipated. Because there were no giant waves near Enies Lobby, the Going Merry could have come speeding straight towards them.
"This is Enies Lobby."
Shiraishi looked at the scenery before him with interest; it was a land that was never dark, a place known as a land of light and justice.
I was right.
The light pierced the darkness, and this terrain gave off a strange sense of déjà vu.
Could there actually be a solar-powered weapon aimed at this area from above?
Is the bottomless waterfall beneath Enies Lobby proof of the bombardment it suffered?
If Pluton's claim of Enies Lobby, then that power is truly impressive.
"Who cares about anything else? Let's just charge in and get Robin back!"
Luffy shouted!
"That's true, but next we..."
Nami wanted to explain the specific plan.
"Rubber-"
Luffy suddenly stretched out his arms, grabbing the tall fence surrounding Enies Lobby, and then:
"Rocket launcher!"
stop!
Luffy didn't Flash initiate the attack; instead, he teleported directly to start the fight.
One person leaped a thousand meters and furiously cleared the minion wave, leaving the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates behind.
Wasn't what I just said pointless?
Nami rubbed her forehead.
"Don't panic, it's not a big problem."
Zoro offered a word of comfort.
The Straw Hat Pirates are, to put it nicely, unconventional and imaginative, but to put it bluntly, undisciplined and unruly; their chances of carrying out a mission are practically zero.
"That's fine too," Shiraishi replied with a smile.
As gunfire and shouts erupted from the main gate of Enies Lobby in the distance, everyone's attention was drawn to the figure of the monkey in the straw hat perched on the flagpole at the top of the gate, causing no one to notice the approaching Going Merry on the sea.
Although ordinary artillery fire is negligible for the Straw Hat Pirates now, it can still damage the Going Merry, their ship.
Even though Shiraishi bound her completely inside and out with Bakudō, the impact force was still there.
Perhaps Luffy considered this as well, which is why he used himself to attract the other party's attention?
"Then let's go full speed ahead and charge straight there!"
Propelled by the fierce winds of Retsu Unohana Kidō with Nami at the helm, on the deck are Zoro holding his sword hilt, Sanji silently smoking, Sogeking wielding a giant slingshot, and Chopper transformed into his half-beast form.
The entire ship, like a nimble knight, cuts through the waves and charges forward.
"This is the main entrance! Main entrance, calling for your superior!"
Spandam, caught up in the moment, casually picked up Den Den Mushi.
"What's wrong?"
"Report! Intruder!"
Spandam's first reaction was disbelief, and his second was that some idiot would dare attack Enies Lobby!
Spandam felt he was about to make a name for himself again, and said, "Calm down! You're the government's elite, after all. Take out the invaders!"
"Sir, who is that intruder?!"
The Den Den Mushi) crackled with the sounds of battle and the panicked voices of soldiers.
"It's Straw Hat Luffy with a bounty of 100 million!"
For a moment, everyone in the room was stunned.
Especially Robin and Franky, who had just been brought here; their reinforcements had arrived the moment they set foot on Enies Lobby.
Is that fast?
"Calm down, are you all afraid of just one guy out of so many of you?"
Spandam roared, still displaying a certain commanding presence, "Report the casualty figures!"
The other party dared to break into Enies Lobby to rescue people, so they must have some skills...
"Four... four hundred..."
"What? Say that again!"
Spandam's eyes widened; this was no joke!
The agent on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, while dodging, carefully observed Luffy as he used " Gum-Gum Fireworks " to wipe out a large group of Luffy, and hesitated for a moment.
"Five..."
Peng!
A brick, blasted away by Luffy's Riot Games, instantly sent the reporting agent flying, leaving his report blank after uttering only one word.
Five? Five people?
Upon hearing the report, Spandam's face instantly lit up with a smug expression, and he said, "Hahaha, Nico Robin."
"What a pity, your companions traveled a long way to rescue you, but there were only five casualties."
At this point, he became even more smug, tilting his head back and saying, "Well, I guess I did my best against the elites of Enies Lobby, hahaha~"
Robin was speechless, not because she was speechless at the other party's stupidity, but because she didn't expect Luffy to actually come.
She came to Enies Lobby to save herself, so what's the point of her being here?
"..." The members of CP9 were truly speechless, rolling their eyes in unison. They were utterly exasperated by this idiotic superior officer.
Based on their understanding of the Straw Hat Pirates, the person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was clearly planning to say 500, right?
Never mind, let those ordinary soldiers wear down the enemy's stamina first.
"Stop!"
Who are you people?
"Fire! Fire! Those are pirates!"
As the Going Merry rapidly approached, it was eventually noticed by the soldiers and agents at the main gate of Enies Lobby.
A seasoned sailor approached the new recruits and said, "Don't be nervous, they can't get over the fence!"
Surrounding the Enies Lobby is a thick, towering steel fence.
The jet-black metal gleamed with a cold light, and rows of sharp spearheads pointed towards the sky.
For ordinary ships, it was indeed an insurmountable obstacle.
Let me pave the way ahead.
Shiraishi didn't mind helping with this, so he raised his hand, and atmospheric Reishi began to gather, connecting to form a long bridge of light that spanned the fence and then extended across the gates of Enies Lobby.
"Go ahead and cause as much trouble as you want here!"
rush!
Without Shiraishi saying anything, the others immediately stepped onto the light bridge he had created and ran towards Enies Lobby.
Stop them!
"Fire! Fire! Damn it, the bullets aren't working! What is this light bridge? Is it a power user?"
"Artillery! Use cannons!"
As the Straw Hat Pirates broke through from above, the soldiers and agents below immediately unleashed a hail of bullets at the light bridge overhead.
Unfortunately, the light bridge is very sturdy and cannot be destroyed at all.
All their efforts were in vain.
Shiraishi looked up, then glanced at the Going Merry. He didn't choose to watch the show; he forced his way through the storm.
The Going Merry was already in a dilapidated state. He hadn't known the ship for very long, but having watched the anime and having childhood memories of it, he still had a lot of affection for it.
" Merry, let's wait here for them to come back. Don't worry, they'll be fine."
Shiraishi patted the sheep's head.
