The moment Jabra finished speaking, Robin delivered a sharp hook punch to the masked man.
The poor fellow didn't even get a chance to show his face; he was only known as Nero before receiving his one-way ticket.
Robin wasn't foolish. Although she was currently in a decent position, caution was never a bad idea. She had no idea how many CP9 agents were present, so taking one out now was a sensible move.
Jabra and Blueno's expressions immediately turned grim.
As expected, this woman won't yield easily. It seems we won't be able to handle this gently.
"Shave!"
Blueno stomped on the ground and vanished instantly.
The next second, he reappeared behind Robin, a massive fist aimed at the back of her neck. However, Robin remained motionless, her gaze fixed on Jabra.
"Twenty Flowers. Bondage. Hang!"
Twenty hands suddenly sprouted from Jabra's body, instantly restraining his limbs and neck, twisting them in different directions as if trying to wring him out like a piece of clothing.
Jabra glanced at Blueno.
He saw Blueno's fist aimed at Robin, but the next instant, it slammed into the wall. And for some unknown reason, even though Blueno was clearly very strong, he couldn't break through the wall at that moment.
A strange red pattern had appeared on the wall at some point.
"Mix Colors. Bullfighting Red! You'll only attack red patterns like a bull."
Mari's voice echoed, and her small figure had appeared behind Blueno, holding a palette and colored pencils in her hand. She even took a bite of her pastry after speaking.
Blueno immediately understood. "The Straw Hats' Psychological Painter, Marine!"
"Psychological Painter? Is that a title given to me? It sounds pretty cool, and I accept it!" Mari said calmly, chewing on a biscuit.
Seeing that Blueno was occupied, Jabra activated his Iron Body to resist Robin's strangulation. At this point, Jabra was a little frightened because he could feel that even within his Iron Body, the force from Robin's hands was terrifying, almost breaking through his defense.
Sure enough, just as Blueno said, the members of the Straw Hats are all powerful?!
"Hey! CP9! Are you ready to confess? Your end was sealed the moment you started fighting Robin-chan!"
Sanji strolled in slowly, a cigarette dangling from his mouth and his hands tucked into his pockets.
Although Chopper, who was following behind, didn't fully grasp the situation, he knew an enemy had appeared, so he also wore a very serious expression.
"Damn it! It's Black Leg Sanji!"
Jabra and Blueno couldn't help but exclaim, their minds racing for countermeasures.
But Sanji didn't give them much time to think. His iron-soled shoes scraped against the ground rapidly, and his entire right foot instantly transformed into a scorching hot iron foot as he lunged at Jabra.
Jabra immediately transformed into his werewolf form, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being struck by the Demon Wind.
A series of rapid kicks slammed into Jabra's face, directly deforming his werewolf features and causing severe burns. Before he could retaliate, his eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.
Blueno immediately created a Door-Door Fruit door on the ground.
Just as he was about to jump through, a small foot swept out in front of him, and a Tempest Kick landed squarely on his abdomen.
"How... possible! Rankyaku?!"
Blueno flew backward with a terrified expression, colliding with Chopper's hoof attack behind him before crashing to the ground in a heap, unable to wake up anytime soon.
Mari slowly retracted her small feet and took out two Seastone bracelets from her backpack, fitting them onto the two unconscious agents.
"Are these two guys bad guys?" Chopper asked.
"Yeah, they were trying to kidnap Sister Robin," Mari explained, then added, "One should have the Dog-Dog Fruit, and the other the Door-Door Fruit. But it doesn't matter; as long as it's not a monster like Kaido, wearing Seastone basically renders Devil Fruit powers useless."
Sanji reverted to his lovestruck state, his eyes turning into hearts as he said, "Robin-chan, are you alright? Wasn't my Devil Kick very handsome just now? Did you fall in love with me because of it?"
"Thank you, Sanji."
Robin dismissed Sanji with a simple sentence, then turned to pat Chopper and Mari on the heads. "Thank you both too."
Chopper immediately bounced up and down, but protested, "Idiot! Even if you say that, it won't make me happy, you hear?!"
Mari remained expressionless but playfully slapped Chopper.
She found Chopper's appearance very interesting, thinking it might be useful for pigment research in the future.
"These three guys..."
Sanji glanced at Jabra, Blueno, and the masked man.
When he saw the masked man, he was taken aback, then immediately changed his words. "What should we do with these two guys? There should be other CP9 members in the city, so leaving them here like this might be problematic.
Well, taking them with us isn't a good idea either."
...asking for flowers...
As for the masked man, all Sanji saw was a corpse!
Sanji knew Robin was responsible, but he didn't intend to blame her.
Robin had lived in the underworld for so many years and had witnessed too much darkness. Being targeted by the World Government this time, it was understandable that she would strike decisively.
Originally, they were all pirates, so kindness wasn't exactly their defining trait. Not indiscriminately killing innocent people was already commendable.
"Leave them. Don't be afraid of other CP members seeing them, or rather, I hope they do see them."
Robin had already considered her actions. "Although it hasn't been officially acknowledged by the World Government and the Marines, our Straw Hats are already recognized as the Five Emperors.
If they dare to attack the Five Emperors, they should be able to imagine the consequences.
Moreover, these two, as members of CP9, must know many secrets.
The chief of CP9 probably doesn't want these two to remain alive."
Sanji understood. These two were bait.
CP9 members were involved in espionage and knew many classified secrets. Therefore, to safeguard those secrets, the chief of CP9 would definitely send someone to eliminate these two.
However, for every agent they sent, they would likely lose one in return!
"Okay, let's do as Robin-chan says. Chopper, pick up these two guys, and let's head back to the submarine!"
Another area of Water Seven.
Luffy, accompanied by Jango, Xiao San, and Luffy, went for a stroll. Because Luffy was interested in everything, especially food, they didn't cover much ground but spent a considerable amount of money.
Fortunately, they all had a great time.
Everyone around recognized Luffy and suddenly became terrified.
But seeing Luffy constantly smiling and acting like a food enthusiast, they couldn't sense any real intimidation. After a while, everyone wasn't so afraid anymore.
Some vendors even dared to sell their food directly to Luffy.
Luffy would loudly praise the food after tasting it, declaring it delicious, and then buy a large quantity.
This made the merchants happy. Although they didn't dare to raise prices for the Fifth Emperor, the Fifth Emperor ate a lot and didn't try to cheat them, earning the merchants a fortune of hundreds of millions of Berries.
