"Now? But sir, the Gate of Justice isn't ready yet!" The guard was taken aback and said helplessly.

"It's alright, just send it over first. Once they're ready, we can just leave!" Spandam said with a nonchalant expression.

"Yes, sir!"

"Robin~~~~~ I've come to pick you up~~~"

After the guards saluted, they were just about to take Robin and Franky away when Luffy's voice came over.

"Bastard..." Upon hearing Luffy's voice, Spandam immediately ran to the balcony and saw that Bruno, one of the members of CP9, was lying on the ground.

"Bruno... How is this possible... How could such a monster be defeated? Quick... Quickly gather all the members of CP9!" Spandam said in a panic.

Reina, who had already infiltrated Enies Lobby, also heard Luffy's shout.

"Tch~ that brat..." Reina's lips curled up slightly. His previous understanding of Luffy was still based on the original work. Reina didn't really like this chosen one. It wasn't anything else, because Luffy was the protagonist, so naturally Reina wouldn't like him.

But now... because of the other party's desperate act of saving Robin, Reina's opinion of him has changed.

This isn't some anime; it's the world Reina lives in—it's real!

Therefore, Reina had a good impression of Luffy for daring to attack Enies Lobby to rescue Robin.

“Anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn’t do something like this… Chimney, just you wait… After this, whether he lives or dies, the name Straw Hat Boy… will definitely resound throughout the world!” Grandma Kokoro, sitting next to Rocket Man, said to her granddaughter Chimney while drinking.

"Hahaha...you're saying that too early for a child, Ms. Kokoro!" Reina slowly approached Rocket Man and said with a smile.

"Huh?" Grandma Kokkoro, who was drinking, was taken aback. She turned around and looked at Reina, her eyes widening involuntarily. She pointed at Reina and said, "Re...Reina? Why are you here?"

"Oh~ Long time no see! Is this little guy your and Mr. Tom's child?" Rainer greeted Grandma Kokoro with a smile.

"You idiot! Zimoni is my granddaughter, not my child with Mr. Tom! Mr. Tom is long dead, how could he have given birth to Zimoni with me!?" Grandma Kokoro said angrily.

The surprise and joy I felt upon seeing Reina vanished instantly.

"Hahaha... Yes! Yes! I was so confused! But time really flies! The beauties of yesteryear have all become old ladies!" Reina said with an embarrassed smile.

"But you... haven't changed much! Is this the perk of being strong?" Granny Kokoro sighed and said.

"Hey~ Grandma, who is he?" Zimoni looked at Reina and asked curiously.

"Meow??" Her pet rabbit, Kumbbe, also meowed curiously twice.

"Him? He's quite a formidable fellow..." Grandma Kokkoro smiled slightly and said, "How did you end up here?"

"I had no choice... My daughter was kidnapped, so of course I had to come and check on her!" Reina shrugged and said casually.

"You...your daughter? Have the World Government people gone mad? Why would they kidnap your daughter? Do they want to start a war?" Hearing Reina's words, Granny Kokkoro was shocked, then asked incredulously, "Wait...when did you have a daughter?"

"Ah~ I've had it for a long time!" Reina touched his nose and said with a smile, "But... what are you doing here?"

Grandma Kokoro didn't hide anything and told the whole story, saying, "Those guys... they're really audacious!"

“Um… cough cough… Nico Robin is my daughter!” Reina coughed and said.

"Huh?" Grandma Kokoro was stunned for a moment, then stared at Reina with wide eyes and said, "What did you say? Nico Robin is your daughter?"

“Yes! I already saw Iceberg in Water Seven before I came here. He’s grown into a man!” Reina said with a smile.

"Hahaha...I see...So it seems this matter is over! Those pirates' lives are saved!" Granny Kokkoro said with a loud laugh.

However, Reina shook his head and said, "No! I can't show myself easily yet, otherwise the Navy will get the news and we'll be in trouble! This place is too close to Navy Headquarters!"

“That makes sense. So what do you plan to do?” Grandma Kokoro nodded and asked.

“Leave it to those young people! I’ll step in and help them when it really matters!” Reina said with a slight smile.

"Hahaha... I knew it! You could have just run away after you made your move, right? All the people here combined wouldn't be enough for you, would they?" Granny Kokoro said with a chuckle. "Don't forget, Franky is still inside. He... is Mr. Tom's apprentice!"

"Don't worry, I promised Iceberg I wouldn't let anything happen to him! As for what happened with Mr. Tom... I'm sorry!" Reina said somewhat apologetically.

He knew about Mr. Tom's death but didn't interfere, so as not to affect Franky's storyline and allow him to smoothly join the Straw Hat crew.

"What nonsense are you talking about? That matter has nothing to do with you!" Grandma Kokoro shook her head and said, "That was his own choice!"

“Ah~ I saw that scene on Franky back then…!” Reina nodded and replied.

“So that’s how it is. No wonder you treat Franky differently. That child… has had a tough time all these years! Glug… glug…” Granny Kokoro said, taking a big gulp of wine.

While Reina and Kokoro were chatting, on Robin's side, Franky used his remaining energy to create chaos, giving Robin and Luffy time to talk. However, Robin's first question was why Luffy had come to find her.

"Why did you chase after us? Wouldn't it have been better to set sail safely? Where is this? This is Enies Lobby! Behind the Gates of Justice are Impel Down and Marine Headquarters! Are you out of your mind? Coming here to die? What about my agreement with them?" Robin said to Luffy with a hint of helplessness.

Meanwhile, the members of CP9 had already assembled. After they subdued Franky, they were stopped by Spandam.

"Don't rush, look... they're fighting amongst themselves, let's watch the show!" Spandam said with a loud laugh.

"Sir, why don't we just go down and take care of that guy? Bruno actually got killed, that's really interesting!" Gabra said to Spandam, looking at Bruno lying on the ground.

"Don't worry, the captain traveled all the way to rescue his crew, only to be refused at the last step. Have you ever seen such a show?" Spandam said with an air of anticipation.

Left with no other option, the CP9 members had to stay put and wait.

"Robin... what nonsense are you talking about!? We're here to save you!" Luffy asked in surprise.

"When did I ask you to come and save me?" Robin replied, somewhat amused and exasperated.

Before returning to Enies Lobby with CP9, she had already contacted the Moby Dick and learned that her father, Reyner, had set off from the New World towards Water 7. That's why she returned with CP9, hoping to find out if there was any other reason for her mother's death.

"Boom boom boom..."

Just then, the top floor of the courthouse was blown up, and Zoro came up with Chopper and Nami, followed closely by Sanji and Usopp. Finally, the entire Straw Hat crew reunited here.

“Robin… listen… we’re all here! Whatever you’re thinking… just come back first!” Luffy said to Robin.

Looking at her former comrades, Robin felt more moved than helpless!

Her early life of constant betrayal and being betrayed had made her forget the bonds between companions.

To be honest, she planned to return to the Whitebeard Pirates with Reina after her father arrived.

Firstly, her identity is too sensitive; continuing to stay with Luffy and the others would only bring them danger, so returning to the Whitebeard Pirates is the best option.

Secondly, she didn't want the World Government or the Navy to threaten Reiner and the Whitebeard Pirates with her life, which would be really bad.

Luffy and his crew are not strong enough to fight the Navy and the World Government, so returning to the Whitebeard Pirates is her only option.

But she never imagined that Luffy and his crew would actually chase them all the way here. Although Sanji and Usopp had appeared once along the way, she thought that after that failure, they would not continue to chase.

"Idiots...didn't you...think you'd die here?" Robin said loudly, barely suppressing the emotion in her heart.

"It's okay... I won't die in a place like this!" Luffy said with a grin as he stood in the center of the line.

"Hahaha... What a bunch of idiots! Don't you know where this place is?" Spandam laughed as he listened to Luffy's words. "Listen up, CP9... I allow you to kill them, but only within Enies Lobby. If they manage to come over... you can have some fun with them!"

Spandam said this because he himself was on Enies Lobby, and if pirates came, he would be in danger. That's why he didn't allow the CP9 members to leave Enies Lobby, because in his view, protecting himself was more important than anything else.

"No matter where I am... I will get my crew back... No one can stop me!" Luffy said firmly.

"Hahaha... What an idiot! Not only are there super-powerful CP9 members here, but behind me is the Gate of Justice, which is the Marine Headquarters! Even if all that is not mentioned... look at this... do you know what this is? A golden Den Den Mushi... a golden telephone that can activate a Buster Call!" Spandam took the Buster Call out of his pocket again and showed it off.

"The Buster Call?" Nami was startled; she seemed to have heard of it somewhere before.

Luffy and his crew remained completely unmoved, because they had never even heard of it...

Chapter 370 Reina Appears

“Hahaha… Buster Call! What a wonderful power… You know that, right? Nico Robin! After all… your hometown… was destroyed by the Buster Call!” Spandam came up to Robin and laughed loudly.

“Robin’s hometown…” Chopper, who had a deep affection for his hometown, was taken aback, and the way he looked at Robin changed.

"Phew~~ I really want to kick that bastard down the waterfall!" Sanji said softly after exhaling a puff of smoke.

"How about it? Want to see what I'll look like after I press this Buster Call?" Spandam placed the golden Den Den Mushi in front of Robin and asked with a chuckle.

"Are you an idiot? Pressing the Buster Call here? Do you know what the consequences will be?" Robin was stunned. She really didn't expect Spadam to press the Buster Call on Enies Lobby, which was why she came here. With the troops here, they shouldn't be enough to fight against her father.

“Of course I know… those are the pirates here… none of them escaped!” Spandam said with a matter-of-fact expression, “Just like your hometown of Ohara back then… everyone… was wiped out!”

“You know absolutely nothing about the Buster Call…” Robin said softly, looking coldly at Spandam.

Following this, through Robin's memories and Spandam's additions, the story of Ohara's destruction slowly comes to light and is learned by Luffy and the others. Even how young Robin evaded the World Government and the Navy's pursuit is mentioned in Robin's account.

“So… when you press that button, everything here will be destroyed… including you!” Robin said, then looked at Spandam.

"Idiot... How could this be? How could they possibly attack their own people? Are you trying to scare me?" Spandam didn't believe Robin at all.

Robin shook her head and looked at Luffy and the others, saying, "Twenty years ago, I witnessed the horror of the Buster Call firsthand... So... Luffy, you shouldn't have come! Just like when you met Aokiji, my enemies are beyond your capabilities! If we continue to stay with you... I'll only drag you down and eventually be abandoned by you! Rather than that... wouldn't it be better to end things here now, leaving some good memories for each other?"

"I see..." Zoro, standing next to Luffy, sighed softly.

"Hahaha... I really didn't expect that! Nico Robin... You know her so well, that's truly rare!" Spandam laughed after hearing Robin's confession.

"Reina...is she really your daughter?" On the other side, Kokkoro, who had heard all this through the Den Den Mushi on Nami's body, looked at Reina beside her in surprise and asked.

Reina, who had been silent, nodded and said, "Yes... She lived with her mother in Ohara back then... To avoid affecting me, her mother didn't tell me about Robin's existence! So, as her father, I owe her a lot!"

"But she grew up very well and became a remarkable person!" Grandma Kokoro said with a smile.

“Hmm! But for those who bullied her… I said I’d make them regret ever being born!” A flash of murderous intent crossed Reina’s eyes.

Although his murderous aura was fleeting, Rob Lucci of CP9 sensed it instantly, which puzzled him. Could there be someone else on the island? Moreover, not just anyone could release such a murderous aura.

However, Lucci did not voice his doubts, but instead became quietly wary.

"Nicole Robin, I'm not trying to be mean... but you can't entirely blame others for someone like you, can you? Nobody wants to carry a burden like you! Hahahaha... that's hilarious! Pirates, look up at that flag!" Spandam pointed at the World Government flag flying above Enies Lobby and shouted:

"See that? That's a coalition representing over 170 countries across the four seas and the Grand Line! Faced with such power... do you realize how insignificant you are? And do you understand just how terrifying this woman is dealing with? Wahahahaha..."

“I see… I finally know who Robin’s enemy is! Sniper King… shoot down that flag!” Luffy turned his head and said to Sniper King, who was dressed as Usopp, beside him.

"Understood!" Usopp nodded and used Firebird Star to burn down the World Government's flag.

This action startled not only Spandam, but also the members of Enies Lobby who were still outside the courthouse.

"Those pirates... they actually... they actually declared war on the World Government!" A combatant from Enies Lobby said in disbelief, looking at the burning flag.

Burning the opponent's flag is, in this world, a declaration of war, meaning that from then on, the two sides are locked in a life-or-death struggle.

"Are you all crazy? How dare you declare war on the World Government...? This is making an enemy of the whole world!" Spandam shouted in horror as he looked at Luffy and the others.

"So what? We couldn't be happier!" Luffy shouted back. "Robin... you're my crewmate! I've come to take you back! Tell me... I haven't heard your answer yet!"

Robin finally couldn't hold back her tears. At this moment, she completely forgot everything else. Now she only wanted to continue sailing with her crew as the Straw Hat Pirates' historian. Even if they encountered Aokiji, even if they died on the sea, she felt it didn't matter!

From childhood to adulthood, everyone said that her existence was wrong. No one had ever said such a thing to her, and no one had ever done anything for her.
