77: Chapter 77 Robin, tell me you want to live!Luffy's forehead creased with annoyance.This system was acting strangely for some unknown reason.The system seemed to realize it had gone off-topic and immediately muted itself.Luffy, too lazy to bother with this system that was sometimes normal and sometimes erratic, simply announced: "Important plot detected.Main mission issued: Rescue Robin, destroy Enies Lobby.Successful mission rewards include all of Iron Man's technologies, the AI butler Jarvis, one 'Unlucky' card, and one 'Crying' card (same effect as the 'Laughing' card)."
After many days, the system finally issued a mission to Luffy.Although it was just a formality, even Luffy couldn't help but complain that since he could complete the mission anyway, he might as well just give him the mission reward sooner.However, the system righteously refused, meaning it was against the rules.Inside Enies Lobby, Robin was being forcibly dragged to the top floor.They discovered that as long as they didn't actively harm Robin, they wouldn't be harmed by that strange golden light.As long as they got this woman through the Gate of Justice, they would deal with Franky after prying the Ancient Weapon blueprints out of his mouth.As they passed a window, they saw Luffy, who was bored, beating up Bruno."Will you talk or not?Will you talk or not?" Luffy asked while slapping Bruno's face.Bruno was on the verge of tears.Good heavens, he was knocked unconscious by a punch, and then slapped awake.Being slapped awake was bad enough, but the thing was, this guy kept asking him if he would talk.What was he supposed to say?That he was still a virgin?
"Go ahead and ask, go ahead and ask!What am I supposed to say if you don't ask me?Tell me when I lost my virginity?" Bruno roared in despair after another tooth was knocked out.Luffy paused, blinked, and asked, "Didn't I ask you where Robin is?I remember asking you that."
Bruno was about to say something when a voice said, "Straw Hat Kid, I advise you not to go too far.Your partner is still in our hands."
Just then, Kaku's angry roar came from the Tower of Judgment opposite the rooftop.Seeing Luffy reminded Kaku of Lucci, who was still lying in the infirmary severely injured.If it weren't for the timely rescue, Lucci might have died from his injuries.Luffy ignored Kaku's roar and grinned at Robin: "Robin, I'm here to save you!"
"Didn't I tell you I have nothing to do with you anymore?I don't want to live anymore, why did you still come here to save me?" Robin was still trying to dissuade Luffy from doing something foolish for her."Shut up!I'm your captain, protecting every crew member is the captain's responsibility!" Luffy shouted at Robin.Meanwhile, on Uta's side, under the cover of Franky's family, the group successfully stormed into the courthouse and quickly dealt with the guards inside.The group also came here through the hole Luffy had made.Seeing Robin standing opposite them, the group stood in a row with Luffy.Spandam, whose hands were wrapped up like dumplings, rushed over and saw the group standing opposite him.He stared wide-eyed in surprise and shouted, "Hey, are you pirates crazy?How dare you come here?Do you know where this is?Do you know what that flag represents?"
Spandam pointed his only intact finger at the flag fluttering in the wind above his head and shouted.In his eyes, these ignorant people would be terrified and run away at the sight of that flag.Robin dared not look directly ahead."Everyone should know who Robin's enemy is, right?Usopp, blow up that roof with the flag!" At this moment, Luffy's anger was still at its peak.Usopp did not hesitate, took out his super slingshot, aimed at the flag, and unleashed a fatal blow.The Firebird Star shot out, transforming into the shape of a firebird in mid-air.The firebird emitted an angry cry and hit the flag directly.With the aid of the super slingshot, everyone heard a deafening boom as the rooftop bearing the World Government's flag was blasted to smithereens, and the flag itself was reduced to ashes in the raging fire.Everyone on the World Government's side was stunned by Luffy's insane act."Am I crazy, or has the world gone mad?A rookie pirate dares to declare war on the World Government!" This was the only thought on the minds of the Marines and CP9 members.Spandam, finally realizing what was happening, shouted a stern threat: "Are you all insane?Don't think you can survive by going against the whole world!"
"Just what I wanted!" Luffy roared, radiating an astonishing aura.The useless Spandam was so frightened by Luffy that he collapsed to the ground, repeatedly muttering, "They're insane!They're really insane!"
"Robin, I want to hear you say it yourself!Say it now!You want to live!" Robin, tears welling in her eyes, looked down at her companions who had declared war on the World Government to save her.At that moment, the darkness of her past—constant neglect and betrayal—overwhelmed her.Then, a beam of light pierced the darkness, pulling her into the light.Before her stood Luffy and his Straw Hat crew."If I could really make a wish, I want to live!Take me with you to the sea!" Robin cried out hoarsely.Hearing Robin's heartfelt cry, a smile finally appeared on Luffy's serious face, and the others did too."Waaaaah, you guys are really touching!" Franky, already parched, sobbed uncontrollably, snot and tears streaming down his face.Spandam, sprawled on the ground, was furious.How dare these people ignore him, the CP9 commander!"Shut up, you filthy woman!" Spandam raised his hand high, ready to slap Robin across the face, but a gust of wind swept past.Spandam clutched his wrist with his severed hand, howling in pain.Blood was gushing from his wrist, and his hand had been blown into the sea by Luffy's wind.Spandam rolled on the ground in agony.Although the CP9 members' eyes were filled with disgust, they were, after all, this man.It was his superior officer.Kaku, suppressing his nausea, ordered his men to take Spandam to the infirmary for treatment."Straw Hat Boy, if you want to save your friends, then challenge this Tower of Justice.Only by defeating us can you save this woman," Kaku coldly said.He then ordered his men to escort Robin to the Gate of Justice, while he, along with several other CP9 members and two admiral candidates, guarded each floor."Alright, alright, then I'll wait for Straw Hat Boy on the top floor.We haven't decided the outcome of our last battle," Chaton said, rushing to the roof to await Luffy's arrival.Momousagi, watching Chaton's reckless departure, shook her head helplessly."Then I'll go with Kaku.I feel that the green-haired swordsman will come here.I also want to test his swordsmanship." Last time, the two only exchanged a few simple blows; this time, they were determined to settle the score.After deciding which floor they would guard, the people inside the tower quietly awaited Luffy and his crew's arrival.With a loud crash, the iron gate of the Tower of Justice was cleaved open.At this moment, the operation to rescue Robin officially began.
