"Damn it, how could this happen?!"
Even if Spandam was incredibly stupid, the approaching shouts and commotion finally made him realize what was happening.
As Luffy suddenly leaped onto the roof of the courthouse, Spandam, who was peeking through the window, broke out in a cold sweat.
"This guy is... Straw Hat!"
"How could this be? How did he get here? There were only five casualties!"
Spandam vowed to find the guy who lied about military intelligence!
Luffy had flown onto the rooftop, roared to the sky, " Robin!"
As Luffy shouted, a faint but domineering aura spread out, a kind of nonchalant glance from a lion or tiger, but to ordinary people, it was like having their hearts choked with fear.
Spandam, who was behind the window, was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing his subordinate's question, Spandam, drenched in cold sweat, finally realized what was happening.
Where's Lucci? Where's CP9?
"Quickly, call them to gather here! Quickly, call them to protect me!"
"Also, tell Judge Baskerville ( Three-Headed Baskerville) that if he lets the pirates lower the drawbridge, I'll cut off all three of his heads!"
"What about the Straw Hat Pirates? Kill them all! You bastards, go now!"
Spandam was speechless at his subordinates; why not just kill the pirates who had broken in?
"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: kill without mercy."
What are you still running away from?
Franky sighed as he looked at the silent Robin.
"You'll harm your companions if you continue like this. I'll send you to see them now, and then you can loudly proclaim your feelings."
"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 up to the size of a ball in his lower body, which looked very ominous.
"Ah, I'm about to self-destruct."
Franky glanced at the panicked Spandam and his elite agents, looking like he was saying, "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 next, so bring it on, within a three-kilometer radius..."
!
??
"Ugh, 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.
"Great opportunity! Let's go, Nico Robin!"
Franky suddenly stretched out his foot and grabbed Robin, a violent shockwave erupting from his lower body.
" Coup de Vent!"
Boom!
Amidst a burst of cola-smelling gas, Franky slammed into the wall behind him, carrying Robin with him.
It crashed through the wall in an instant, breaking the chains binding him, before finally being stopped by the fence outside the building.
" Robin!" Luffy shouted in surprise.
"Damn it, we've been tricked! Catch 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 willing to risk their lives for you, you deserve a life lived in the sunshine!"
Is it really possible?
Robin walked step by step to the broken fence, where Luffy, always wearing his straw hat and smiling, Luffy opposite her. "Wait for me, I'm coming to save you..."
Enough!
!"
Luffy was stunned.
"Why did you come to save me? I didn't ask you to do that!"
Behind Luffy, who was stunned, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, and Sogeking appeared one after another, staring at their companions opposite them.
"I..."
Robin took a deep breath and uttered the most resolute words to these people who were willing to risk their lives for her.
I don't want to live anymore!
Sanji silent, and things still turned out this way.
Peng!
As Franky, who was blocking the agents, was slammed to the ground, smashing the floor and creating spiderweb-like cracks, the entire CP9 team arrived at the scene.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
With the backing of his forces, Spandam returned triumphantly.
"This is quite an interesting scene. Everyone who's trying to save people is rushing here, but the person being saved doesn't want to leave."
"These are the guys?"
Jabra, dressed in a black training suit, looked at the Straw Hat Pirates standing on the building opposite.
"You guys almost let these guys ruin your mission, really..."
"Yo yo yi,"
Carrying a Zen staff, a lion with long, trailing hair Kumadori wall, 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 Fukurou the Silent 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, when he didn't have a suitable weapon!
"They've come, just as expected."
Rob Lucci, with a pigeon perched on his shoulder, had an unreadable expression, but his gaze was fixed on Luffy, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Opposite them are Luffy wearing a straw hat, Zoro holding a sword hilt, Nami wielding the completed Clima-Tact, Usopp carrying a giant slingshot, Sanji lighting a cigarette, and Chopper transformed into a half-beast.
Robin wanted to cry, and her heart was filled with conflicting emotions.
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...
Ever since her hometown of Ohara was wiped off the map by Buster Call for searching for the Poneglyph, the only surviving eight-year-old girl has been living a life of constant hiding.
"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 goods tomorrow."
The kind uncle covered the little girl with a 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, Nico Robin."
The pirate captain, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, waved.
"I'm a wanted man too. You better work hard, and I'll give you some food to eat."
Amidst the bombardment by naval warships, all that could be seen was 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.
Countless memories flooded back, and Robin lowered his head. "I'm sorry."
Robin saw his companions standing on the rooftop of the building opposite, seemingly within reach of the light, but Robin knew that a dark abyss separated them from him.
"The closer I try to get to you, the more I will hurt you."
"The last time I encountered Aokiji, and this time too, even if I escape to the ends of the earth, I still can't escape 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 an understanding woman!"
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 backer.
"Now you understand, Straw Hat!"
Look at this flag!
Spandam pointed upwards, and at the top of the Tower of Justice, a white flag fluttered in the wind.
The top part is a cross formed by four dots, symbolizing that all the world is under its command.
This represents the 170 member countries on the world's four seas and the Grand Line! This is the world!
The arrogant Spandam looked at the silent Straw Hat Pirates.
"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 adjusted his straw hat, interrupting the rambling man, " Sogeking, shoot down that flag."
Spandam doubted his ears.
Usopp, who had been worried, didn't hesitate for a moment before pulling back his giant slingshot, shouting, "Firebird Star!"
A ball of flame instantly traversed 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.
"You will not survive if you fight against the whole world..."
I couldn't ask for more!
!"
Luffy widened.
Spandam's lips moved, but he couldn't utter a single threatening word.
Luffy didn't even glance at the guy again, but instead looked intently at Robin.
Robin!
"I haven't heard you speak yet,"
Luffy paused, then shouted, "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 Pirates, and memories of the past...
"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 are willing to protect you!"
I want to live!
Robin was in tears, crying her heart out to her companions.
Take me to the sea!
That's so touching.
Retsu Unohana secretly gave it a thumbs up, raised her hand, and her Reishi condensed in front of the Straw Hat Pirates to form a bridge, which rapidly extended towards the building on the other side, filling the darkness between them.
Meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates crew had already stepped onto the bridge of light and strode forward with firm steps, without any hesitation!
" Robin, we've come to pick you up!"
Luffy grinned, revealing his kingly aura.
"That's really impressive."
Seeing the Straw Hat Pirates approaching, the members of CP9 also assumed a fighting stance.
"Haha, so you're not afraid of the World Government?"
"Yo yo yi~~"
"That's it, don't even think about taking another step!"
"Damn it!"
With the two sides about to clash, Spandam, as the commander of CP9, had no intention of staying to fight.
After all, he was just a weakling with Doriki level of 9, making him seem too frail among a group of superhumans.
"You guys hold them off! I'll deal with Robin and Franky first!"
Spandam wanted to leave, but unexpectedly found that Franky had stood up again. " Franky, you..."
Franky had broken free of his restraints and pulled a stack of design drawings from his body.
"This is the design you wanted."
"Give it to me now! Give it to me now!"
Spandam shouted impatiently.
Franky didn't even glance at him, but instead opened the design drawings in his hand to Lucci.
"You're a boatman too, you should be able to recognize this as genuine."
Not only are there various professional designs on it, but the paper itself has also weathered over hundreds of years, all of which prove that this is indeed the real deal.
As Franky remained on high alert, cold sweat trickled down Lucci's cheeks.
Although he was far stronger than his opponent, it was unrealistic to try and snatch the item from him at this moment.
Moreover, he had already guessed Franky's intention in suddenly producing the design drawings at this moment.
"This is not the blueprint for Pluton!"
"This is because the artisans of City of Water 7 feared that Pluton would fall into the hands of people like you, leaving future generations with an opportunity to rebel."
Therefore, what Franky has in his hand should more accurately be called the design blueprint for the Anti- Pluton battleship.
"But I'm now certain that Nico Robin won't help you resurrect Pluton."
Ignoring Spandam's clownish antics of jumping around shouting "Give it to me, give it to me," Franky placed the blueprints in front of his face.
"Then, let me fulfill the wishes of my predecessors."
call.
With a burst of flame, he instantly reduced the design blueprints in his hand, which were said to be able to counterbalance Pluton, to ashes, and also burned Spandam's dream of promotion and wealth.
From that time on, no warship in the world would ever again be able to stand against Pluton.
"Hahaha, this is a bet, Spandam!"
"If you succeed in taking Nico Robin away, or even find Pluton through her, then the centuries-old legacy of City of Water 7 will have been lost."
There are all sorts of strange abilities in this world, and there are even methods that don't require the person's cooperation.
For example: the Memory-Memory Fruit!
"But if the Straw Hat Pirates gets Nico Robin back, you'll get nothing, and then I'll win."
Come on, the chips are on the table.
The stakes are the future of the world!
"Of course, I will fight to the very end."
Franky's face was burning with fighting spirit. "This isn't about the Straw Hat Pirates's friendship, it's about my own beliefs!"
"Madmen, they're all madmen!"
Spandam, consumed by impotent rage, was about to explode.
They're both crazy!
He didn't understand that as long as that Iceburg handed over the design drawings, wealth and glory would be within his grasp.
Franky only needs to hand over the blueprints to immediately gain freedom and power, as well as the Straw Hat Pirates...
Realizing this, Spandam realized he was too close to the battlefield.
His breath hitched. Seeing the Straw Hat Pirates approaching, he disregarded everything else and reached out to grab Robin, shouting, "Come with me!"
