Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: The Assault on Enies Lobby — Flames of Liberation

The dawn was still fragile as the Heaven's Embrace cut through the waters toward Enies Lobby, the fortress island guarding the World Government's secrets and their puppet court system. The towering gates and massive walls loomed on the horizon, a symbol of power and oppression, but soon, those walls would tremble before the might of Vegito and his crew.

Vegito's POV

Status screen flickered briefly.

System Notification:Objective updated: Rescue Nico Robin and expose World Government corruption.

My grin widened, tail flicking in anticipation. "Time to break some chains."

The crew prepared, weapons gleaming and haki buzzing around them like an aura of impending justice.

Crew POV — Franky and Kalifa

Franky, with his signature Super pose, laughed, "This is gonna be a battle for the history books! Let's show these government clowns what shipwrights and pirates can do!"

Kalifa adjusted her glasses, her usual cold demeanor tempered by the fire in her eyes. "For the first time, I'm fighting for a cause worth risking everything."

The Infiltration

Using Franky's upgraded inventions, the crew devised a plan to infiltrate Enies Lobby via the waterways. Kalifa's CP9 knowledge proved invaluable, disabling traps and unlocking secrets.

As they reached the island, a volley of cannon fire welcomed them, but the sheer power of Heaven's Embrace was unmatched, with its shields and runes shimmering, deflecting the assault.

The Battle Begins

The first clash erupted near the courthouse steps. Marines and CP9 agents poured out in force, but Vegito moved like a storm. With a single slap, a captain was reduced to a red mist, sending a shockwave through the ranks.

Kalifa engaged her former comrades, her deadly Soap Bubble technique weaving through the battlefield, incapacitating foes swiftly.

Franky unleashed his Coup de Vent, a devastating blast of compressed air, knocking back scores of marines, his laughter booming over the chaos.

Robin's Rescue

Nico Robin was held tightly in the government's custody, her expression unreadable but filled with a spark of hope.

"Vegito..." she whispered as I broke her chains with a simple gesture.

"I'm here to bring you home, Robin," I said, pulling her into a protective embrace.

Her smile was rare, genuine.

The Courthouse Showdown — Kaku and Jabra

The CP9's strongest awaited: Kaku with his horse Zoan fruit, and Jabra with his wolf Zoan. They challenged us fiercely, but Vegito's mastery of Haki and combat techniques turned the tide.

Kaku's attempts to outmaneuver were met with lightning-fast counters. Jabra's ferocity was met with cold calculation and overwhelming power.

After a brutal duel, both lay defeated, their respect for Vegito grudging but undeniable.

World Government's Secrets Revealed

With Robin freed, she accessed the hidden Poneglyphs inside the courthouse, revealing secrets of the Void Century and the true history the World Government tried to bury.

The crew watched in awe as ancient truths unfolded, their mission now even more crucial.

The Great Escape

Marines flooded the island in reinforcements, but Franky's ship modifications allowed the Heaven's Embrace to briefly submerge and then rocket out of the harbor like a comet.

The battle cries and explosions faded behind as we soared into the sky, leaving behind a shattered Enies Lobby.

Nami whistled, "You're practically legendary now."

Nojiko smiled softly, "And the world's eyes are on us."

Robin looked at me, her voice tender, "Thank you for saving me... and for believing in the truth."

I pulled her close, "This is just the beginning, Robin. Together, we'll change the world."

World Government HQ

The Five Elders sat tensely, eyes fixed on the communications screen. Imu's expression was colder than ever.

"Vegito has crossed a line," Imu said darkly. "Prepare the full might of the government. No mercy."

Closing Scene

The night sky sparkled with stars as the crew gathered on the deck. The weight of the battle settled, but so did a deeper bond. The fight against tyranny was far from over, but the flames of liberation had been lit.

Franky raised a toast, "To freedom, friends, and the greatest crew the seas have ever seen!"

Laughter, songs, and the promise of adventure filled the air.
