Chapter 216 - 6

Chapter 198: The enemy not only refused to surrender, but dared to strike back at me.Voluntarily heading to Enies Lobby to declare war on a massive machine that has ruled the world for eight hundred years—if word of this got out, it would be enough to shake the entire Grand Line.If other pirates heard this news, they would definitely call him a madman!Enies Lobby is located in the first half of the Grand Line and houses a court directly under the World Government.Although it is a court, it actually acts solely on the will of the World Government; anyone brought to Enies Lobby is already considered a criminal.In its 800-year history, it has never issued a not-guilty verdict.Prisoners are simply escorted through those empty courtrooms, eventually reaching a cold, massive steel gate—the Gates of Justice.Prisoners who pass through these gates generally never return, symbolizing the World Government's so-called absolute justice.There are only two places one can reach after sailing out from the Gates of Justice:One is Marineford, the direct organization of the World Government's main combat force and one of the three great powers of the Grand Line; the other is the deep-sea prison—Impel Down, a place filled with torture chambers and execution platforms where the world's most heinous criminals are locked away.Once you go in, you don't come out.Because Enies Lobby has no night and is in constant daylight, it is also known as the Island of No Night.Breaking into that place is equivalent to slapping the World Government in the face.But so what?Not even the plan made him fully compromise."Look, they're here too!"Luffy's smile grew even wider as he pointed behind them.Robin looked in the direction he pointed and saw a ship she was incredibly familiar with, cutting through the waves on the dark sea at an incredible speed.The sails were full, and those familiar, anxious figures stood on the bow.It was the going merry!And them.Under the precise navigation of Nami, the extra thrust provided by Vivi using the Wind-Wind Fruitability, and the all-out burst from the Ship SpiritMerry, the going merry's current speed was not inferior to the sea train at all."Everyone."Robin's eyes instantly welled up with tears as she waved vigorously in their direction.On the going merry, the group also saw Robin and Luffy at the door of the first carriage and immediately burst into enthusiastic cheers."We see them! It's Robin and Luffy!""Robin, we've come to get you!""They're okay!"Luffy set Robin down and stood side-by-side with her.Looking at the train head, which had already become a small dot in the distance, and then back at his companions rushing to catch up, he laughed heroically: "Let's go, Robin! Let's go turn that damn Enies Lobby upside down!"The rear part of the broken sea train, after sliding for some distance due to inertia, finally came to a complete stop on the cold sea, bobbing gently with the waves.The engine and one carriage, carrying the main members of CP9, dragged white steam behind them and gradually disappeared into the dark horizon, heading straight for those Gates of Justice that led to despair.Just then, the going merry performed a beautiful and thrilling drift, coming to a steady stop right next to the floating carriage.The ship's hull was even emitting faint white smoke from the high-speed travel."Luffy! Robin!"Nami was the first to jump onto the carriage, running over anxiously. "Are you two okay?"Immediately after, Vivi and the others jumped over as well."Robin, it's so good that you're safe and sound!"Vivi rushed in front of Robin, pushing Luffy aside.Luffy was slightly stunned; he had just been holding Robin, and now he subconsciously felt a trace of reluctance.But Vivi was worried; Robin had voluntarily left with CP9 to protect her and Merry.Little Merry also ran over, her pouting lips making Robin chuckle, and she reached out to pick her up.Looking at her companions' concerned faces, the last trace of gloom in Robin's heart completely dissipated, and she smiled. "I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried everyone."Zoro, holding his swords, glanced at the unconscious CP9 members and the mess inside the carriage. "Luffy, what's the situation now?"Usopp looked at the hole Luffy had punched through and his voice trembled. "What happened here? Luffy, what did you do again?!""Ahaha, these guys not only refused to surrender but dared to strike back at me, so I just knocked them all out."Luffy laughed and briefly explained the situation, including how he used Blueno's ability to catch up to the train, how he instantly defeated most of the CP9 members, and how Lucci had cut the carriage loose at the last moment to escape."What? You took them all down by yourself?"Usopp's jaw nearly hit the ground as he listened.That was over a hundred people."Hmph, looks like we missed a good show."Zoro smacked his lips with some dissatisfaction, seemingly regretting that he hadn't been able to fight."So that means the long-nosed guy and the one who keeps pigeons got away?"Sanji lit a cigarette, his eyes turning cold. "We absolutely cannot let them get away!"Nami was more concerned with practical issues. "So what do we do now?"Now that Robin had been rescued, logically they should just leave, but according to Luffy's plan, Enies Lobby was the final destination.She glanced in the direction of Enies Lobby; the outline of it was almost visible here."Of course, we keep moving forward."Luffy grinned and then cast his gaze toward the strangely shaped, rocket-headed train nearby.His eyes lit up instantly.This train was cool.The rocketman, as well as Kokoro standing on the front of the rocketman laughing loudly while holding a bottle of alcohol, and a group of people nearby dressed in bizarre costumes calling themselves the Franky Family."Yo, Straw Hat, we meet again."Kokoro took a swig of alcohol and shouted heartily. "I've come to help too."The Franky Family also called out one after another: "Boss, we've come to save you!""Super!"Then they realized Franky wasn't there."He was taken by CP9."Luffy's single sentence sent the Franky Family into a wailing frenzy.These guys are so loud.And who are these guys?After asking carefully, it turned out that after Luffyand the others left, Vivi used the Wind-Wind Fruit's ability to quickly gather the companions scattered all over Water 7.At the same time, the Franky Family had learned the news from the severely injured Pauly and found Kokoro, who also wanted to help.Kokoro brought out the rocketman, a train used for special situations that was even faster, and decided to bring the Franky Family along to provide support."Granny, can your train still move?"Luffy asked."Wuwawawa! Of course it can!"Kokoro said confidently. "The rocketman is a treasure left behind by Mr. Tom, and with me, the best train conductor in Water 7, it's absolutely no problem!""But Straw Hat, haven't you already rescued your companion? Are you still planning to go to Enies Lobby?""Since we're already here, why turn back now?"Luffy grinned.He was going to do it!
