It had only been a few short minutes since the Straw Hat's people charged onto this island and began fighting.
However, within this short period, the entire island's total of 10,000 soldiers had dwindled significantly.
The Main Island, where the most troops were gathered, was now on the verge of being breached.
At this moment, within the last remaining defense line of the Main Island, where few troops were left, a liaison officer was frantically calling out to a den den mushi as if insane.
"Main Island calling!"
"Main Island calling!"
"Officer Spandam, please respond!"
"Officer Spandam, please re-spond!"
"Damn it! Bastard! Pick up the phone!"
"..."
He had been making such calls since the Straw Hat's people attacked the Main Island, but there had been no response.
At this moment, someone next to him replied.
"It's useless! He must have put the receiver down incorrectly again!"
"I already sent someone to deliver a den den mushi to him, it should be arriving soon!"
...
Inside the Judicial Tower!
Spandam was looking at the few people who appeared before him with an excited and triumphant expression.
Facing him were Rob Lucci and the others.
Rob Lucci faced Spandam and said.
"Long time no see, Officer!"
"Cutty Flam, the major criminal who attacked Government officials in Water 7 eight years ago, and Nico Robin, the criminal who attacked a Marine warship in Ohara in the West Blue twenty years ago, have been successfully escorted here and are currently waiting outside the door."
Upon hearing Rob Lucci's report, Spandam's mouth immediately curved upwards, and his eyes held an unconcealable excitement as he said.
"You've worked hard!"
"Lucci! Kaku! Kalifa!"
Just then, a figure in the room suddenly attacked Rob Lucci and the two others.
"Chappa!"
"Chappa-pa!"
"Cha...ppa!"
After a brief exchange with the three, the figure pulled back and retreated to the side.
Kalifa glanced at the plump figure, adjusted her glasses, and said.
"I knew you couldn't hold it in, Fukuro!"
And at this moment, with everyone in the room focused on him, Fukuro's eyes were tightly closed, his fingers touching, and he slowly spoke.
"[Six Powers] Game · [Hand-Clap]!"
After calculating for a bit, Fukuro slowly opened his eyes and said.
"If a guard with a weapon counts as 10 Doriki, then your Doriki are..."
"Kalifa, 630 Doriki!"
"Kaku, 2200 Doriki!"
"Lucci, uh..."
Fukuro paused, then suddenly exclaimed in disbelief.
"4000 Doriki!"
As soon as Fukuro finished speaking, a voice immediately couldn't help but sound out in shock.
"Hey! You didn't make a mistake, did you? I've never heard of such high Doriki!"
The person speaking was another member of CP9, Jabra.
Fukuro nodded and replied.
"It's true! Everyone has become stronger, Chappa-pa!"
"This way, our CP9 member Doriki rankings are out."
"First place, Rob Lucci, 4000 Doriki!"
"Second place, Kaku, 2200 Doriki!"
"Third place, Jabra, 2180 Doriki!"
"Fourth place, Kumadori, 810 Doriki!"
"Fifth place, Fukuro, 800 Doriki!"
"Sixth place, Kalifa, 630 Doriki!"
Speaking of this, Fukuro paused, looked at Spandam, and continued.
"Finally, seventh place, Officer Spandam's Doriki!!!"
As soon as he said this, Spandam was extremely embarrassed and shouted with a grimace.
"Hey! Shut up, Owl! Don't include me!"
"I don't care, because I am the commander!"
"Besides, I have a hidden sword!"
With that, he sighed helplessly and said.
"Forget it!"
Then, he re-composed himself, shifted his gaze to Rob Lucci and the others, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he said.
"You've worked hard these five years!"
"Anyway, let me see... the hope of the whole world first!"
As Spandam finished speaking, Robin and Franky were quickly brought before him.
Robin was wearing Sea Stone handcuffs, while Franky was bound by huge iron chains.
Seeing the two appear, Spandam couldn't help but laugh excitedly.
"Wahahahahaha...."
"This is so satisfying!"
After a loud laugh, Spandam looked at the two one by one and said.
"It's a miracle that you survived the accident eight years ago!"
"Cutty Flam!"
"And you, a world-class dangerous individual."
"The one we've been chasing for a long time..."
"Nico Robin!"
At this point, Spandam suddenly looked sinister and said gloomily.
"The world must not know how great what we are doing today is!"
"They won't know until a few years later!"
"In my opinion, the old men of the World Government are too weak and incompetent now!"
"To achieve the goal, there must be sacrifices!"
"We are fighting for the peace of all mankind!"
At this moment, Spandam suddenly became frantic.
"Those who stand in our way should all be killed, this is the price that must be paid for peace."
"Those who do not obey us are traitors to justice."
"All of them deserve to be executed!!!"
"Wahahahahaha..."
Looking at the frantically laughing Spandam, Franky suddenly remembered his master Tom, who was framed and killed by Spandam.
Tom was unwilling to hand over the blueprints at that time, which is why he ended up like that.
Thinking of this, Franky's eyes filled with anger, and he suddenly opened his mechanically modified huge mouth, rushed over and bit Spandam's head, saying angrily.
"Mr. Tom risked his life to protect the blueprints, just so they wouldn't fall into the hands of a scumbag like you!"
"You scumbag!!!"
Franky bit Spandam hard with his teeth, as if he wanted to bite off his head.
Spandam, on the other hand, rolled his eyes and cried out in horror for help.
"Ah ah ah ah..."
"It hurts... it hurts... it hurts me to death!"
"Come and save me!"
Just then, Kumadori suddenly leaped nearby.
"Yo yo yi! Understood!"
With that, his hair suddenly seemed to come alive, wrapping around Franky's various body parts.
Pulling him away from Spandam.
At the same time, he swung the staff in his hand fiercely, knocking Franky heavily to the ground.
After getting out of Franky's mouth, Spandam was so angry that his teeth itched, and he rushed over, lifted his foot, and started kicking Franky wildly.
And cursed angrily.
"You scumbag, you really can't change your ways!"
While kicking Franky, Spandam recalled the scene eight years ago when Franky, who was still a little kid, publicly beat him up once.
Immediately, his kicks became more forceful.
After kicking dozens of times, Spandam finally stopped because he was too tired.
At this moment, he showed a proud look again, looking down at Franky, and said.
"If I had known that you, kid, were still alive and had the blueprints, I wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble with your senior brother Iceburg!"
"He used his abilities to cooperate with the World Government, contracted all the World Government's ships, and became the mayor of Water 7."
"It was really a bit difficult for me to deal with him."
Saying that, Spandam suddenly looked at Robin beside him, revealing a sinister smile, and said.
"I was already planning to take coercive measures against Iceburg, but then Admiral Aokiji brought me good news."
Spandam looked at Robin with a sinister smile, and said word by word.
"Nico Robin is on a pirate ship, about to sail to Water 7!"
Saying that, he took out a golden den den mushi from his arms, carefully held it in his palm, and continued.
"And he also gave me this precious... golden den den mushi that can activate the Buster Call!"
The moment she saw the golden den den mushi, Robin's face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with endless horror.
Then Spandam continued to say.
"So I used the Buster Call to come up with a new battle plan."
"Although the actual development was a bit different from the plan."
"But, you see..."
"Aren't you two keys that can revive ancient weapons obediently here with me?"
Spandam became frantic again and laughed loudly.
"Do you understand?!"
"I'm on top of the world right now!"
"My power is so great that I can control any great nation at will!"
"Wahahahahaha...."
Robin's eyes still showed fear, and her gaze was fixed on the golden den den mushi, and she said.
"Aokiji... why would he give you the right to activate the Buster Call?"
Hearing this, Spandam suddenly stopped laughing, his expression instantly became extremely contemptuous and angry, staring at Robin.
Suddenly, he clenched his fist and rushed up, punching Robin in the face, knocking her to the ground.
At the same time, he angrily questioned.
"Do you even deserve to ask me?"
"You rude woman!"
After knocking Robin to the ground, Spandam looked down at Robin condescendingly and said.
"You bastard left behind by Ohara."
"If I hadn't discovered your value, you would be worthless alive!"
"Why don't you thank me quickly?!"
Robin looked at Spandam with a pained expression, saying nothing.
Spandam, however, continued to speak non-stop, humiliating her.
"Moreover, I will make you face torture every day where you can't live or die!"
"Torture you, use you, and finally throw you into the sea to feed the fish!"
"This is your sin!"
"Be mentally prepared!"
"Wahahahahaha..."
Suddenly, Spandam remembered something, stopped laughing, and looked at Robin with a playful expression, saying.
"Oh, right! The report just said that a bunch of idiots wanted to come and rescue you."
"But they should have been captured by now!"
"It's Straw Hat Luffy and his crew!"
··· ·
"The report just said that they managed to injure 8 of my subordinates with great effort!"
"But do you know? There are 10,000 of my subordinates on this island!"
"Those idiots probably won't be able to save you even if they die of exhaustion!"
"Wahahahahaha....."
Hearing this, Rob Lucci and the others frowned.
The scene where Luffy kicked Kaku flying was still fresh in their minds.
How could such strength only defeat 8 people?
While they were doubting, Spandam looked at Robin again, smiling playfully, and said.
"I've already sent people to prepare the ship to the prison."
"At that time, we'll send them and Cutty Flam to the Deep Sea Great Prison!"
"And you... just wait to be sent to Marineford, and let those people make good use of you!"
"This way, all of us in CP9 will be promoted several ranks!"
"Wahahahahaha..."
Hearing Spandam's words, Robin suddenly froze, her eyes filled with extreme sadness and anger.
She roared with all her might.
"Wait! You broke your word!"
"Didn't you say that as long as I did what you said, you would guarantee their safety?"
Spandam's expression suddenly turned ruthless, and he looked down at Robin, saying in a deep voice.
"What are you screaming about?"
"The condition I gave you was to ensure the safety of the rest of the Straw Hat crew, excluding Nico Robin, from Water 7!"
"Now..."
"Haven't they already safely left Water 7 and arrived here?"
Hearing Spandam's explanation, Robin's heart sank instantly, and she fell into deep despair.
.... ...
"What did you say?" he asked weakly.
"Did you intend to play word games from the very beginning?"
Franky, at this point, could no longer hold back his curses.
"You absolute pieces of crap! You heartless bastards!!!"
Hearing Franky's curses, Spandam's face immediately darkened, and he said in a low voice,
"What did you say?"
The next second, he rushed forward and kicked Franky and Robin again!
"Shut up, you scum!"
"We don't need to keep our word with criminals!"
"Who do you think you are?"
"Tricking pirates into capture, that's a common occurrence for the Marine!"
"You, a woman who survived by betrayal, you deserve this death!"
"And…"
After kicking a few times and getting tired, Spandam suddenly looked at Robin and said with an extremely grim expression,
"Do you know what that damned Straw Hat did to me?"
"That bastard dared to openly threaten me, an official representing the World Government; his crime is unforgivable."
Saying that, Spandam took out a den den mushi and played the recording of Luffy's threat to him.
"...."
"If you don't listen to me and harm a single hair on Robin."
"The next person to die… will be you!"
"Kachak!"
Spandam did not play what he said; he was so afraid of losing face, how could others know?
After playing all of Luffy's threatening words, Spandam questioned Robin.
"Did you hear that?"
"This bastard insulted me, insulted the World Government!"
"How could I easily let him go?"
"When my men catch him later, I will definitely torment you again in front of him, to see his frustrated and helpless expression."
"Then I'll severely humiliate him, torture and beat him, and finally send him to prison."
"Only then can I vent my anger."
"Wahahahahaha…"
Listening to Spandam's words, Robin's eyes were already blurred, filled with tears.
She didn't know that Luffy had privately contacted Spandam for her.
Although it was just a private conversation with Spandam, it wasn't a true declaration of war against the World Government.
But this determination deeply moved Robin.
At the same time, she felt immense self-reproach and pain.
Because she didn't want to see Luffy and his crew die because of her!
Robin bit her lip, closed her eyes tightly, tears soaked a large patch of the floor, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing Robin in this state, Spandam immediately laughed triumphantly.
"Nico Robin! Are you already this afraid of me?"
"If you had done this earlier, begged me for mercy, and done as I said, I wouldn't have kicked you those few times!"
"However, your fear of me isn't entirely your fault."
"That damned Straw Hat only managed to defeat my 8 subordinates by risking his life. Ultimately, he's just too incompetent!"
"So incompetent, yet he dared to utter such big words."
"That's what annoys me the most!"
Saying that, Spandam wanted to kick Robin a couple more times to vent his anger.
However, just then, a guard suddenly rushed in, reporting,
"Reporting, sir! This is an urgent den den mushi from the Main Island."
"The guard who delivered the den den mushi said there's an important matter to report, please answer quickly!"
