Chapter 94 : Freed Robin!

["Straw Hat Luffy, have you forgotten the time you were struck by my attack in Water 7?"]

[Lucci, transformed into his leopard form, gazed down condescendingly at Luffy, his expression full of mockery.]

However, Luffy responded with a steely resolve, "That was just an appetizer... It didn't even faze me!"

[Lucci sneered, "You're a cocky one, but this time will be different."]

[In an instant, Lucci employed Soru, vanishing and reappearing above Luffy.]

Suddenly, a barrage of finger pistols shot out from Lucci's hand!

The finger pistols, already extraordinarily piercing, had their power amplified by his leopard form.

But Luffy, now in Second Gear, was no pushover. He too employed Soru, disappearing from view.

"What's this?" Lucci was taken aback, realizing that Luffy was using Soru.

"Six Powers of the Navy... and he's a pirate!?"

Before Lucci could react, Luffy appeared behind him, his hands drawn back, gathering strength for a powerful move.

With a mighty burst, Luffy released a devastating Jet Bullet!

KABOOM!

The force sent Lucci tumbling, crashing into a corner.

"Now's the time, Franky! Move fast!" Luffy shouted.

Franky wasted no time; he rushed towards the gate as quickly as possible.

Finally, at that moment, the closed door swung open!

"Franky, Robin, it's up to you now!" Luffy declared.

Seeing Luffy's determined expression, Franky responded with equal seriousness. "Leave it to me! You just make sure to fulfill those promises!"

With that, Franky charged in.

Luffy watched Franky's departure with a sense of relief.

Meanwhile, Lucci struggled to his feet, his face now filled with uncontrollable rage. "I underestimated you... I didn't expect you to possess such formidable power."

Luffy responded with equal seriousness, "Robin has someone to rescue, and next, I'll seriously take you down."

Lucci sneered, "Very well then, Straw Hat Boy... In that case, you'll witness my full strength."

In the unknown seas...

The Going Merry continued its voyage towards Water 7.

During the journey, everyone onboard paid close attention to the live broadcast, particularly when they saw Franky making his way through Luucci's blockade.

Nami cheered, "Yes, he's finally through Lucci's obstacles!"

"Robin is going to be saved!"

Observing this, Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, Luffy, CP9's boss won't stand a chance against you."

"That's right, our captain will definitely take him down!"

Everyone watched the live broadcast with a sense of relief, sharing laughter and camaraderie.

Only Robin still wore a hint of worry on her face, knowing the true danger lurking in Enies Lobby.

It wasn't just being brought to the Gates of Justice by Lucci but the incoming Buster Call Order.

Under the Buster Call Order, the island would be reduced to rubble, with constant barrages from warships loaded with artillery, leaving nothing in their wake. The horror of it all was known only to those who had experienced it.

Even after all these years, the shadow cast by the Buster Call Order persisted, never truly vanishing.

Could their group escape Enies Lobby before the Buster Call Order arrived?

The sky screen continued to broadcast...

[Just as Luffy and Lucci engaged in their fierce battle...]

"The Gates of Justice had swung wide open, and Spandam, escorting the scarred Nico Robin, took deliberate steps towards it.

At this critical moment, Robin, her spirit nearly broken, remained shackled by Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs, helpless and desperate. 

And then, a savior emerged!

However, before Robin could dare to hope, an explosion echoed as a hidden bomb detonated at the entrance, sending her tumbling into the unforgiving sea.

In that fleeting instant, Robin felt the depths of despair. Was there truly no one who could rescue her?

Countless Marines swarmed from the Gates of Justice to welcome Spandam, as he drew ever closer to taking Robin through.

Despair seemed inevitable…

But then, a miracle!

A whooshing sound filled the air as miniature shells struck Spandam, sending him tumbling through the air. Shocked expressions filled the faces of both Marines and Robin herself.

One after another, the Marines fell under this unexpected assault, unable to pinpoint the source.

Finally, after nearly half of them were incapacitated, they discovered…

On top of the Justice Tower, hundreds of meters away, a masked man was launching attacks with a slingshot!

And that man was Usopp!

In this dire situation, he stood tall.

At that very moment, everyone froze.

The distance was immense, making it impossible for even a gun to reach. Yet, he managed to accurately hit his targets, injured but never missing a shot.

This level of marksmanship was nothing short of terrifying!

The Red-Haired Pirates!

When they saw the dire situation, it was none other than Usopp who stepped up.

The entire Red-Haired Pirate crew erupted in cheers.

After all, their fates were entwined with Luffy and the Straw Hat crew, and they ardently hoped for their success.

As they witnessed Robin about to pass through the Gates of Justice, the tension in the air was palpable.

And among them, the likes of Red-Haired Shanks and Benn Beckman, who knew Usopp of the Straw Hat Pirates, referred to him with respect and awe.

"Yasopp, your son's sharpshooting skills mirror your own, beyond imagination!"

"Yes, the talent for hitting targets accurately from such a distance, there's undoubtedly a father-son connection!"

"I have a feeling that in the future, he might become an even greater sniper than you!"

"His marksmanship is astonishing, it leaves one speechless…"

Whether it was Shanks, Beckman, or any other crew member, they didn't hold back their admiration for Usopp's shooting skills.

For Yasopp, Usopp's father, hearing all this praise, couldn't help but smile proudly. After all, despite Usopp's youth when he set out to sea with Shanks and the others, he had always worried about his son.

If not for the live broadcast's appearance, he might not even have known that his son had joined the ranks of pirates.

And what's more, he had become a part of Luffy's crew, an incredible twist of fate.

To be honest, when he saw them face off against the Buster Call, land on Enies Lobby, and now infiltrate Enies Lobby, Yasopp's heart was heavy with concern for his son's safety.

But now, as he watched his son display shooting prowess that surpassed even his own, he couldn't be happier.

As he looked at Usopp, standing masked on top of the Tower of Justice high above, Yasopp murmured, "Son, let's see how far you'll go on this journey..."

"Attack Nico Robin for me. Can't I shoot him while he's able to shoot you?" When many Marines heard this, they turned their weapons on Robin.

Bang, bang!

A metallic clang resounded, and it turned out to be Franky, who had previously fallen into the sea but had climbed back up. Using his steel body, he shielded Robin from the incoming bullets.

"Vile Marines, do you still have any tricks left?" Franky jeered. Unperturbed by the bullets, he even fought back.

With Usopp providing support from a distance, the Marines fell one by one.

At that moment, Franky took out three keys and tried them one by one.

Finally, on the last attempt, he unlocked the Seastone handcuffs that had imprisoned Robin.

Robin was free at last!

She cast a cold gaze on Spandam across from her.

"Spandam, you despicable worm. It's time you learned a lesson."

And with that declaration, under the terrified gazes of everyone present, the powers of the Hana Hana no Mi (Flower-Flower Fruit) were unleashed…"
