Chapter 150: The enemy of the world will never give up.

Enies Lobby, Main Island.

"Hurry, hurry!"

"Grab your weapons, support the front yard!"

"Damn it, the enemy's abilities are too strong..."

"Wake up Oimo and Kashii, let those two big guys handle it!"

As Luffy and the others advanced to the main island suspended above a giant hole, they were blocked by two giant warriors, each fifteen meters tall.

"Oh, you disturbed Oimo's sleep, you little brats!"

"Go back! Or Kashii will smash you to pieces!"

The two giant warriors roared as they charged towards Roman's 'paper doll army.' These big guys might not be stronger than a Marine captain, but once they let loose, their destructive power was unmatched! After all, their massive size and strength were undeniable.

"Luffy, let's finish this quickly!"

"Got it!"

As Roman charged towards the giants, the paper dolls behind him quickly turned into sheets of paper, wrapping around him. With each step, he grew larger! By the time he reached one of the giants, he had transformed into a white-armored giant of similar size.

His cylindrical fingers formed a fist! In response to the giant's exclamation, "Are you a giant too?" Roman's punch deflected the giant's axe, and his other hand delivered an uppercut, his house-sized fist slamming into the giant's jaw!

Meanwhile,

Luffy bit his finger and blew air into it, causing his arm and fist to inflate like a balloon.

"Gear Third,"

"Gomu Gomu no Gigant Pistol!"

His gigantic arm shot out! Though it looked comically out of place on his small body, the white shockwaves around his fist clearly indicated its immense power! The giant warrior, weighing dozens of tons, was sent flying, a clear example of its strength.

"Tsk, why didn't you let me fight?"

As Zoro complained while leaping over, the white giant knight that had just taken down the giant began to disassemble and transform back into groups of paper soldiers. Roman, emerging from the disassembled paper, waved his hand.

"If you struck, they'd be seriously injured. These giants aren't..."

"Sogeking!"

Roman turned to Usopp, "These two giants are yours! Didn't you get along well with the warriors of Elbaf?" ???

"Ah, I only know two giants!"

Usopp cried! While Luffy and Roman could easily take down the giants, anyone else would struggle, as these were still giant warriors.

"Liar, how could our great warriors of Elbaf know a little guy like you?"

Faced with the giant warrior's skepticism, Usopp got angry.

"I'm not lying, I met the blue and red ogres in Little Garden—"

"The bosses?!" X2

...

Great, Usopp managed to turn these two important fighters against the small fry. Now, all that's left is to take down CP9 and—

Thud,

Thud!

A paper swordsman puppet was pierced by a claw, and a heavily armored paper puppet was knocked over by a giant iron ball, making Roman's eyes flash.

Finally, the true 'elite' forces of Enies Lobby began to move. The high-speed guard units riding police dogs, the muscular members of the Guilty Jury with iron chains and iron balls, and the word "Guilty" engraved on their left arms all appeared, slightly slowing the Straw Hat crew's advance.

But only slightly!

"Charge, charge, charge! Don't get tangled up with them, our goal is to rescue!"

With Roman's paper puppets paving the way regardless of losses, the Straw Hat crew finally reached the building called the 'Courthouse'. Once they got past this building, the Justice Tower where Robin was held would be just ahead.

——————"Damn it, how could this happen?!"

Even as foolish as Spandam was, the lightning and thunder in the sky, along with the approaching sounds of battle and chaos, finally made him realize what was happening. And when Luffy suddenly leaped onto the roof of the Courthouse, Spandam, who was peeking from the window, broke into a cold sweat.

"That guy is... Straw Hat Luffy!"

"How did he get here? Weren't there only five casualties..."

And the first to fly onto the roof, Luffy, roared to the sky!

"Robin!!!!"

With Luffy's shout, a faint domineering aura spread out, like a casual glance from a lion or tiger, but to ordinary people, it felt like their hearts were being gripped with fear! Spandam, behind the window, fell to the ground in terror.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Facing his subordinate's inquiry, the sweating Spandam finally reacted.

"Where's Lucci? Where's CP9?"

"Call them here to protect me!!"

"And tell the Chief Judge of the Courthouse, 'Three-Headed Baskerville', if he lets the pirates lower the drawbridge, I'll chop off his three heads!"

"What about the Straw Hat crew? Kill them all! Damn it, go—"

...

"Raise your head, Nico Robin."

Tied up nearby, Franky looked at the panicking elite agents and could tell from their faces how powerful the attackers were.

"Your companions have made it here, it's really surprising..."

"I know you surrendered to protect your comrades, but you heard Spandam's order just now, kill them all."

"What are you still avoiding?"

Facing the silent Robin, Franky sighed.

"You're going to get your companions killed like this. I'll take you to meet them now, and then you can shout out your true feelings."

"Someone—?"

"What are you doing—!"

By the time Spandam came to his senses, Franky's lower body had already swelled like a ball, looking very ominous.

"Ah, I'm preparing to self-destruct."

Franky calmly glanced at the panicked Spandam and the elite agents, looking like he was ready to take a few down with him.

"Anyway, I won't have a good time next, so take this, a three-kilometer radius—"

!!??

"Ahhhh, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you!!"

Spandam was the first to flee the room in a panic, and with their 'leader' running, the other agents instinctively followed. The result was:

"Great opportunity, let's go, Nico Robin!"

Kicking Robin, Franky's lower body suddenly released a powerful shockwave.

"Wind Jet!"

Boom—

With a burst of cola-flavored gas, Franky and Robin crashed into the wall behind them! They broke through the wall, and the impact also broke the chains on Franky, finally stopping at the fence outside the building.

And on the other side:

"Robin!"

"Damn it, it's a trap! Capture them—"

Facing the agents rushing back, Franky conjured weapons to block them while shouting without looking back.

"Go, Nico Robin!"

"Go answer your friends' call. Since you have companions willing to risk their lives for you, you should have a life in the sunlight!"

Can I really?

Step by step, Robin walked to the broken fence. On the other side was Luffy, always smiling with his straw hat, and:

"Wait for me, I'll come to save you—"

"Enough!!!"

?

"Why are you here to save me? I didn't ask you to do this!"

Rustle—

Behind the stunned Luffy, white paper rose like 'waves,' with Roman, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, and the meteor-like Us... Sogeking perched on top.

"I..."

Facing these people who risked their lives for her, Robin took a deep breath and said the most resolute words.

"I don't want to live anymore!!"

???

Bang!

As Franky, who was blocking the agents, was suddenly pinned to the ground, cracking the floor like a spider web, the entire CP9 had arrived.

"Hahahaha~~~"

With 'power' backing him, Spandam swaggered back.

"This is quite an interesting scene! The rescuers have rushed here, but the one being rescued doesn't want to leave."

"These guys?"

Gabra, dressed in black training clothes, looked at the Straw Hat crew standing on the opposite building.

"You got caught by these guys? Really—"

"Yo yo yi,"

Kumadori, with a long mane dragging on the ground, squinted his eyes.

"The enemies are all formidable opponents~~"

"Be careful, they're all experts!"

Fukurou, with a round body and a zipper on his mouth, also looked serious.

"There won't be a second time."

Kaku, with a long nose, focused on Zoro. He had suffered at Zoro's hands before without a suitable weapon, and he had to get even!

"They're here."

Rob Lucci, with a pigeon on his shoulder, showed no expression, but his gaze shifted between Luffy and Roman, pondering something.

And on the other side:

Luffy with his straw hat, Roman with his hands in his pockets, Zoro with his hand on his sword, Nami holding a book, Usopp with a giant slingshot, Sanji lighting a cigarette, and Chopper in his half-beast form...

Why,

Why do you still want to save me?

I'm just a pitiful person who can only live in darkness and betrayal, unworthy of longing for your light...

Ever since her hometown Ohara was wiped off the map by a Buster Call for pursuing the 'Poneglyph', the only survivor, 8-year-old Nico Robin, has been living a life on the run.

The next second, a group of government agents appeared behind the kind old lady.

'But before that, there are some guests who want to see you.'

Run—

'Go to sleep, we'll go get supplies together tomorrow.'

The kind uncle tucked the little girl in, but when she quietly got up to follow him.

'Look at the amount of this bounty, I'm going to get rich!'

Run—

'I know you, Nico Robin.'

The pirate captain with a cigarette waved his hand.

'I'm also a wanted man. If you work hard for me, I'll give you a meal.'

Amidst the bombardment of Marine warships, there was nothing but blood and fire.

'Cough, cough, save me, save me—'

Run—

'Please let me join your organization, I'll do anything.'

'Damn it, why are the elite forces of Marine Headquarters here? Is it because of that Nico Robin—'

Run—

...

"I'm sorry,"

Facing her comrades standing on the rooftop of the opposite building, the intelligent and beautiful Nico Robin knew that between her and them was a dark abyss, even though it seemed like she could reach out and touch the light.

"The closer I get to you, the more I will hurt you."

"Last time with Aokiji, and this time, even if I escape to the ends of the earth, I still can't get rid of this claw."

"Sooner or later, you'll think I'm a burden, and then it will be betrayal and abandonment! — That's what I'm most afraid of, I'm tired of running."

Robin lowered her head, "If I have to die, why can't I choose to die now?"

"Hahaha, what an 'understanding' woman."

Spandam laughed wildly. The reason he could have the 'power' of CP9 and do whatever he wanted was because he had the 'World Government' backing him.

"Do you understand now, Straw Hat boy!"

"Look at this flag!"

Spandam pointed upwards. At the top of the Justice Tower, a white flag fluttered in the wind. It had a cross formed by four dots, symbolizing the four seas under its command.

"This represents the four seas and the Grand Line, 170 member countries! This is the world!!"

The arrogant Spandam looked at the silent Straw Hat crew.

"Facing the world, you should know how small you are, right?"

"You should know what a huge entity this woman is up against! You—"

"I understand,"

Luffy adjusted his straw hat, "Sogeking, shoot down that flag."

??!!

Without hesitation, the masked Usopp pulled back his giant slingshot and then:

"Special Attack - Firebird Star!"

A ball of fire instantly flew across the distance between the two buildings and pierced the flag that represented the authority of the entire 'world'!

"Do you... do you... do you know what you're doing?!"

Spandam felt like he was going crazy, or maybe the pirates in front of him were.

"You're going against the whole world, you won't survive—"

"Bring it on!!!"

Scared by Luffy's Haki, Spandam took a big step back, his lips moving but unable to utter a single threat. Luffy didn't spare him another glance, instead looking seriously at the woman named 'Nico Robin.'

"Robin!!"

"I haven't heard you say it yet—"

"Say 'I want to live'!!!"

——

Tears silently rolled down her face, and through the blur, she saw Luffy's serious face, the encouraging and smiling faces of the Straw Hat crew, and...

'The sea is so vast...'

The words of her childhood friend, the giant Vice Admiral Jaguar D. Saul, echoed in her ears again, 'You will definitely find friends who will protect you!'

"I want to live!!"

Robin, with tears streaming down her face, cried out to her friends with all her heart.

"Take me to the sea with you!"

Hmph, this is what a captain should be like. I'm not as good as you, Luffy. So—

Splash~~~

Sheets of white paper surged out in front of the Straw Hat crew, forming a bridge that quickly extended to the building on the other side! It filled the darkness between them, and the Straw Hat crew stepped onto the pure white bridge, striding forward.

Their steps were firm and unwavering, even if there were thousands of obstacles, they would still march on!

"Robin, we're here to get you!!" X7
