Chapter 20: Launching the Demon-Slaying Order!
"Speak your mind, Robin," west Yan said, having remained silent until now. "You have the right to choose, and the right to live."
"Can...can I survive too...?"
Nico Robin's body began to tremble as scenes from the past, including those she had met, began to surface in her mind.
They were all focused on their own heads, believing she was a woman who didn't deserve to live.
But...but...but what did she do wrong?!
Is it simply because she is someone who survived the Buster Call?
Just because of this, does she not deserve to live?!
No...no!!
At this moment, west Yan's words about challenging the Buster Call came to Nico Robin's mind. This man had told her directly to activate the Buster Call so that he could get rid of this nightmare.
And now, Luffy and his crew have shattered the World Government's flag and declared war on the entire world!
(Falling, hehehehe, falling, hehehehe.)
The man's laughter echoed in Nico Robin's mind, along with his words.
(Robin, this ocean is boundless, and one day you will meet companions who are willing to protect you!!)
And now, she has actually encountered it!
These people's words were like a ray of light, illuminating Nico Robin's entire world and pulling her out of the darkness!
Nico Robin seemed to have been shocked; her body trembled even more violently, and tears gradually welled up in her eyes.
"If...if I could make a wish...I would say..."
"I want to live!!" Nico Robin shouted. "Take me to the sea with you!!!"
At this moment, Nico Robin completely shattered the shackles in her heart and chose to face everything with her friends in a dignified manner!
The entire Straw Hat Pirates smiled, ready for battle.
Now that Nico Robin has made her choice, there's no point in hesitating. All they need to do is wipe out these damned enemies and get out of here alive with their companions!
"You bunch of bastards, you're really touching!!" Franky said, wiping away his tears.
He really loves those bastards!
"If that's the case, then I'll take a gamble too!!"
Franky's words interrupted Spandam's actions; he had originally planned to order CP9 to take down the three people on this side first.
However, after seeing Franky pull out a blueprint from his person, he was so excited that he couldn't speak.
"This...this could be...the design blueprints for the Ancient Weapon, Hades?!"
"Pluto..." west Yan glanced at the blueprints in Franky's hand, clearly not expecting the other party to be able to produce something like this.
It's worth noting that Crocodile's original goal in overthrowing Alabasta was simply to obtain Hades, and now this blueprint has appeared here... How interesting.
If Crocodile knew this, wouldn't he be so angry he'd vomit blood?
"That's right, it's the blueprints for Hades!" Franky said. "The real deal."
"You might not believe it, but..."
"Lucci, Kaku, you should be able to tell, right?"
As he spoke, Frankie showed them a few pages so they could see them clearly, and only stopped after they were both sweating profusely.
"You actually hid the design drawings on your person, that's quite surprising..." Kaku said. "No wonder we couldn't find them anywhere."
"It's really true!" Spandam exclaimed excitedly. "Give him to me, give him to me!"
Spandam wanted to rush forward to snatch it, but west Yan, standing next to Franky, stopped him in his tracks. He knew that this person was not weak and that he would definitely die if he went over!
"Nicole Robin, I now know you're not the demon the rumors say you are," Franky said. "So I'm going to take a gamble on you!"
"The purpose of these blueprints is to counter any potential ancient weapons," Franky said coldly, glancing at Spandam. "Just like now, although Nico Robin isn't willing to cooperate, as long as she's alive, you might still acquire that dangerous weapon..."
"But things are different now. Nico Robin has a group of reliable friends who dare to challenge the whole world for her!!"
"Therefore, this blueprint has lost its purpose!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Franky opened his mouth and spewed out a large amount of flames, burning the blueprints in his hand to ashes!
This scene made Kalifa's blood pressure rise considerably.
"Give the results of our five-year mission to..."
They spent a full five years lying in wait in Water Seven to get this blueprint!
But now everything is gone; the blueprint has vanished in the flames.
"Damn it, stop it..." Spandam lost control of his expression and immediately got down on the ground to pick up the ashes, not even caring that the golden Den Den Mushi had fallen to the ground.
"My blueprints...my achievements...my future..."
"Damn it, why did you burn this?!"
Gone, all gone! Without this blueprint, how is he supposed to get the Five Elders' reward, you bastard?!
"Are you really that confident that the Straw Hat Pirates can take Nico Robin back?" Kaku said.
As he spoke, Kaku glanced at west Yan, his body tensing up, ready to strike at any moment.
"I'm willing to believe them!" Franky said. "If we win, you'll get nothing."
"Neither the Ancient Weapons nor Nico Robin will get you!"
"Damn it, do you want to die right here?!" Enraged, Spandam hastily picked up the golden Den Den Mushi, his eyes icy as he looked at Franky and said, "Without this blueprint, you're worthless!"
He was momentarily distracted before Spandam spoke.
"Hmph, go ahead and release..." Before Franky could finish speaking, he noticed the golden Den Den Mushi in Spandam's hand.
His pupils contracted as he exclaimed, "Hey, why did you press that button?!"
This bastard is actually planning to launch a Buster Call here?!
Does he no longer want Judiciary Island?
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Spandam looked down at his hands in confusion, then his eyes bulged out in horror, and snot flew uncontrollably from his nose.
"Press, press, press, press...it's on?!"
Why?
He clearly didn't intentionally press the button on the Golden Den Den Mushi, so why did he press it?
"This..." Kalifa's face turned ugly. What was this idiot commander thinking? Did he really intend to destroy Enies Lobby?!
Suddenly, Kalifa seemed to realize something and immediately looked up at Xi Yan, only to find that the man was looking at them with a playful expression.
Could it be... him?!
......
"Buzz!!"
The moment Spandam pressed the golden Den Den Mushi button, an alarm sounded in the communications department of the Navy Headquarters.
"We've received a signal from the Golden Den Den Mushi!"
"Who started it?"
"Judging by the signal... it's Admiral Aokiji!"
"Alright, since it was Admiral Aokiji who initiated this, there's nothing more to say." A middle-aged man said, "Immediately contact the five lieutenant generals near the target area to activate the Buster Call!"
"But...but Major General, this time the target is Enies Lobby."
"No matter where it is, all we need to know is that it was an order issued by the general!" the middle-aged man said.
He didn't believe anyone could steal the Admiral's Golden Den Den Mushi, because no one possessed that kind of power!
Since the admiral ordered the Buster Call to attack Enies Lobby, he must have had his reasons; they simply need to follow orders.
"Yes, sir! I'll contact the five lieutenant generals at headquarters nearby!"
"Wait a minute, Major General, it's faster to dispatch warships from headquarters to Enies Lobby."
"Then let's go!"
"yes!"
After his subordinates finished their work, the middle-aged man returned to his office, took out his Den Den Mushi (phone stick) and contacted Aokiji.
"Admiral Aokiji, may I ask what your reason was for launching the Buster Call against Enies Lobby? I need to make a note of it."
Aokiji, sitting on his bicycle on the open sea, paused for a moment before saying, "I will explain this to Fleet Admiral Sengoku when we get back."
"Yes, I understand!"
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Aokiji turned to look in the direction of Enies Lobby.
His golden Den Den Mushi was in Spandam's possession, which meant that Spandam had launched a Buster Call on Enies Lobby.
"Is it related to Nico Robin...?"
"Let's go take a look."
