What’s going on?
Why so proactive!
What are you trying to do by being so forward?!
You’re making it seem like I’ve been exposed!
Vir was speechless as he was pulled onto the balcony by Robin.
This situation… it’s not right.
Where did things go wrong?
Why is she acting so boldly?
Even if it were love at first sight, this wouldn’t be the case.
Robin isn’t that kind of person.
Could it be… that she has truly seen through him?
For a brief moment, Vir felt a sliver of doubt.
But his confidence in his acting skills made him dismiss the thought entirely.
The two of them stood on the balcony, facing the courthouse.
And there, atop the courthouse, stood a figure.
A man wearing a straw hat.
Thanks to their intense training over the past period and the strength Vir’s treatment had granted them, they had advanced swiftly.
Even thousands of small fry couldn’t slow them down.
They had almost caught up to Lucci and his team, arriving here not long after.
At this moment, only Luffy stood atop the roof.
But in just a few moments, the others arrived, each making their own dramatic entrance.
Six of them, moving in perfect sync.
They stepped forward together, marching toward raised platform.
Their eyes were firm, locked onto Vir and Robin across from them.
Determination filled their gazes.
Robin looked at them. Even though she already knew they had arrived, seeing their coordinated stance still made her eyes well up with tears.
“Robin!! We’re here to save you!”
Luffy shouted with all his might, standing just across the river from Robin!
His powerful voice pierced through, causing the tears in Robin’s eyes to finally fall.
A few droplets rolled down her cheeks.
Seeing Robin cry, the six of them all smiled.
The heavy burden in their hearts was lifted.
They had feared that Robin didn’t want to leave with them.
That would have made things much harder.
But now, seeing Robin like this, didn’t it say everything?
Vir stood behind Robin, watching it all unfold.
Seeing such deep bonds of friendship, a strange emotion flickered in Vir’s eyes.
But when he saw Chopper standing there, looking so serious, he couldn’t help but smirk.
Just then, Robin, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
Looking at them, her eyes were filled with emotion!
Then, she shouted, “Leave now! I don’t need you to rescue me! Go!”
As she shouted, tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes.
With Vir here, she wouldn’t be in any danger.
But could Vir protect so many people at once?
The people here were top-tier Cipher Pol agents!
A single misstep could cost them their lives!
She was also afraid they would disrupt Vir’s plan.
Vir must have arrived here the moment they separated.
He must have something planned.
She didn’t want Vir to be distracted because of them.
But Luffy, hearing Robin’s words and the helplessness in her voice, darkened his expression.
Who? Who exactly was Robin’s enemy?
Why did she have to sacrifice herself like this?
Who was responsible!
Suddenly, Luffy’s eyes flicked to the World Government flag fluttering above Robin.
His face darkened as he slowly raised his hand, pointing at the flag.
Then, in a calm voice, he said, “Sogeking, shoot down that flag.”
As soon as Luffy spoke, Robin’s expression froze.
This action… carried an extremely dangerous meaning.
“Have you really thought this through?”
Before Sogeking could make a move, a voice rang out from below Robin and the others.
Lucci and his team had just arrived.
It was Lucci who had spoken.
“If you dare attack that flag, it means declaring war against the entire world!”
“You… will die a terrible death!”
The moment Lucci finished speaking, Sogeking’s Firebird Star was already in flight!
Lucci’s words had no effect whatsoever.
This made Lucci’s expression turn grim.
A Rankyaku shot through the air!
It collided precisely with the Firebird Star.
*Boom!*
After a resounding explosion, both attacks disappeared.
“Did you think I would just stand by and watch you trample over the Government’s dignity? Foolish pirates!”
By now, Luffy was starting to get angry.
He glared at Lucci below.
As if ready to strike at any moment!
But Robin saw that something was wrong.
If Luffy attacked, there would be no turning back.
She looked at Luffy and anxiously shouted, “Luffy! Leave now! Don’t fight them! Vir is here! He won’t abandon me! He’ll take me away!!”
Robin’s voice echoed clearly in everyone’s ears.
Every face showed shock!
What?
Vir?
Vir is here?
Luffy’s anger instantly vanished, and the group scanned their surroundings.
Searching for Vir.
But no matter how they looked, they couldn’t find him.
Robin wouldn’t lie. Vir had to be here.
He knew about Robin’s situation!
He had come to rescue Robin too!
The corners of their lips curled into smirks.
Zoro tied his bandana.
Sanji lit a cigarette.
Even Luffy pulled down his hat.
“Oi, shitty cook.”
“Yeah?”
“Let’s see who gets more injured.”
“Heh, fine by me. I’ve got some anger to vent.”
The moment they knew Vir was here, their spirits soared with newfound resolve.
As long as there was even a sliver of life left in them, Vir could drag them back from the brink of death!
On the CP side, however, everyone was stunned.
When had this guy Vir arrived?
They hadn’t noticed a thing!
Wasn’t he just a doctor? Did he have some kind of disguise technique?
Impossible!
Nico Robin must be lying!
But even if Vir was here, so what?
They wouldn’t give the enemy any chance to receive treatment!
Just as both sides were about to clash—
A calm voice rang out, reaching everyone present.
“So, you figured it out after all.”
As the voice spoke, a hand gently rested on Robin’s head.
It softly patted her a few times.
Robin didn’t turn around.
Tears streaming down her face, she spun and threw herself into the man’s embrace!
Her restrained tears instantly turned into an unstoppable flood!
All the grievances she had suffered poured out with them.
At the same time, the others turned in shock!
Spandam?
Why was Robin throwing herself into Spandam’s arms?
Just as they were stunned, Spandam’s appearance and clothing began to shift…
