39: Robin wants to live

"Take me back before they decide to just kill you all off!"

Robin yelled at Alex for the fourth time in the past 2 minutes after she completely ignored all of Alex's words hoping that ignoring the, would make them less true.

Alex looked at the even more tightly bound robin who was in a burlap sack hogtied with on,y her head visible, a response to her trying to run away, before she turned to look at franky

"If you want to destroy those blue print now is a good time, we will then be taking robin back to our crew, or you can keep them i don't really care either way."-Alex

"I think i'll keep them until she decides to stay with you guys of her own will rather than bound like this."-Franky

Alex just shrugged before lifting Robin onto her should after throwing a gag in her mouth before stuffing her head the rest of the way into the bag, before she started to make her way towards the largest commotion knowing that is where luffy was at. Franky followed behind her in a giant cloak to hide so he won't be recognized, even though his size was a giveaway.

As they neared the commotion, alex had to duck a poke aimed for her throat before jumping back while Franky is sent flying with a punch to the face. Looking in front of her she spots blueno, kaku, and kalifa with blueno standing in a punch position and kaku looking like he used finger pistol.

"You should just give her back to us and walk away before you get yourself killed"

Kaku said while looking at alex.

"Hey franky you ok? Are you able to hold one of them off or is it a three against me situation?"

When she didn't receive a reply she groaned

'If they didn't surprise attack Franky would be really useful against them, he would probably be bale to defeat one of them while i hold the other two off before we take the next to out after that. Sadly he is now passed out and i am burdened with carrying Robin, this will be so fun!'

Alex thought sarcastically before needing to jump back to dodge another pistol finger. Looking at the three alex didn't dare to take her eyes off of them as she would be able to understand their techniques better watching them, she blink3d and it seemed as if they disappeared

'Shit!'

Alex thought while trying to block the kick aimed at her by kalifa. While blocking the kick alex made sure to keep a secure hold on Robin in case they tried to tale her away, which was smart as she felt a tug on the sack pulling her sideways. Alex turning with the tug sent a kick that seemed like a super bastard version of the tempest kick into kaku who was pulling on the bag Robin was in, this sent him flying back spitting blood. Blueno and kalifa while alex was attacking kaku appeared next to her and sent am attack towards her head with an opening for a dodge to the lower right of the fist and another towards the opening left by the fist. Alex left with no choice had to block the attacks sending her flying through buildings and in doing so gave kaku a chance to pull Robin out of her grasp.

'Shit this is bad! I should be only strong enough to maybe fight kaku and jabra and have a chance of winning, when they team up in twos i can only hope to stall them for a little, but when they come at me three against me I'm absolutely fucked! They have Robin and Franky so they will either kill me quickly to return or just return, but knowing that they are CP9 means they will just kill me. I should use the chance when the rubble settles to escape into a shadow and follow them again.'

Whith her mind made up alex quickly melted into the shadows of the building she was collapsing after being punched flying and waited for one of the members to come kill her, kaku arrived and quickly removed the rubble looking for her body and alex slipped into his shadow

"Gone huh?"

Kaku said before he returned to the others and told them she slipped away. Blueno then opens a door for them and they return with Franky and Robin to spandam's office where he questions them about the person who took them away.

"It was a male around 8'4, he had gray hair with streaks of black, multiple face and ear piercings, he was good at melee combat managing to kick me away, and excels at stealth as he slipped away from us during the fight"

Kaku replied to spandam while a random cp agent was letting Robin out of the bag and getting Franky into more chains before leading them out of the room. After they finished the debrief the CP9 members left spandams office to go to their own rooms while waiting for the transport for Robin and Franky to arrive. Alex was already back inside Robins shadow as she switched while they were going through the air door of blueno, alex used the time they traveled to think of a way to make Robin want to leave with them and understand they were willing to do anything for her safety. Alex was also thinking back on all the times she watched CP9 use the techniques amd was breaking them down slowly allowing herself to figure out how to use them in a fight.

Robin and Franky were locked in the hallway near spandams office and the cp9 room incase they tried to escape again they would be easy to retrieve. Franky started to talk to Robin about how lucky she is that the crew came here for her, nit that he is jealous his underlings didn't come for him, before he yells at the marines scaring them when they tell him not to talk. Before long an agent comes rushing past carrying a transponder snail and bursts into spandams office.

Spamdam exits his office to brag to Robin that the crew was captured before he even answered the snail, causing him to look like more of an idiot than he already does when they told him that they made it to the courthouse plaza which is just across the gap from them. Spandam after hearing the news and about the casualties caused by luffy drops the snail and rushes back into his office so he could look out the window and see the situation himself, he ended up looking just in time to watch blueno arrive on the roof.

Franky started laughing hearing the new and Robin seemed to become gloomier, Alex popped her head out of her shadow scaring both of them and looks at Robin

"Didn't i tell you that we would go against the world for you? You think i was joking about that? You should have listened to me and Usopp when we explained what we and our crew was willing to do for you."

Alex then sinks back into the shadow as she hears footsteps approaching not letting see her. Spandam arrives in front of them and was going to start moving Robin as a precaution when they hear Luffy scream out

"ROBIN! I've come to get you!"

Shocking spandam as he didn't think he was that close yet, a marine them rushes to spandam and tell him there is a guy in a straw hat on the courthouse, which is next to their building across the gap, yelling at them. Spandam freaked saying that he's ridiculous as last he checked blueno was on that roof and was standing watch, before rushing to his office window to see luffy for himself.

"Raise your head, Nico Robin. They finally made it this far. Hey, this is really crazy. I now know that you accepted the Government's terms to save your friends and got brought here. But that agreement was casually broken by that moron chief earlier. It's not like someone will be saved just because you meekly stay captured here. So the only thing you can do is accept their help and escape from here. And yet, you're looking quite gloomy....as of you're still running away from something. Are you afraid of your friends dying here or something? If you turn your eyes away from them, they can't rescue you. I'll have you meet Straw Hat."

Franky told Robin while looking serious, until he started to inflate is butt making Alex want to laugh again as he did it with such a super serious face. Franky bluffed spandam when a marine reported his inflating but to him saying that he figured this was his end so he decided to take everyone in a 3km radius out with him causing everyone nearby to run away in fear, he then grabbed Robin with his legs once everyone was gone. After grabbing Robin Franky released i giant fart that acted like rocket propulsion and sent him and robin flying though walls until they crashed into a ,eta; fence stopping their motion, this also broke all the chains holding Franky.

The fence they crashed into started to fall into the water fall below so franky jumped onto the platform with Robin before asking if she was ok and tells her to respond to Luffy's cry earlier. Luffy was about to stretch himself to where Robin was but she tells him

"Wait! I've told you so many times already! I won't return to you guys! Go back! I don't wanna see your faces again! Why did you come to rescue me? Why did you come to rescue me?! This isn't what i want. When did i ask you guys to rescue me?! I just want to..... die!"

Spandam started to clap after robins speech and Franky rushed next to robin and started yelling at her for being an idiot who is ungrateful for what her friends are doing for her, but she just said they did it on their own not that she wanted them to. Franky was about to yell at her more but Kaku kicked him in the face telling him he is in the way before the rest of CP9 walked out onto the ledge and lined up while looking at luffy.

Spandam orders them not to do anything yet as he wants watch the fallout between Luffy and Robin more. While picking his nose

Luffy replies to Robins statement

"Robin! You wanna die?! What the heck are you talking about? Listen, Robin. We've already come this far."

Luffy keeps talking picking his nose and ignoring the fact the floor behind him is destroyed while sending Nami Chopper and a passed out marine flying into the air

After that statement they watch as Zoro climbs from the hole he created in the floor, Sanji jumps though the floor creating a new hole and Usopp is tossed up from the ground by one of the giants, and gathered on the ledge opposite from the marines and CP9.

"I'm begging you, Robin! You cam go ahead and say you wanna die or whatever, but say those things.... by our side!"-Luffy

"He's right, Robin-chan!"-Sanji

"Robin come back!"-Chopper

"Just leave the rest to us!"

Spandam then orders CP9 to kill all of them but they have to do so in the tower of law as that way they could protect him as well as kill them. He them taunts the crew by saying they wont be able to open the drawbridge, let alone defeat CP9 and even if they do manage that he can call in a Buster Call while showing off a golden snail, alex seeing the snail sneak i to spandams shadow to steal it at first chance.

This causes Robin to get desperate and yell at him not to use that, she then asks if he even understands what will happen once he pushes the button but he blows her off and teases her by placing his finger above the button. Robin explains the consequences of using the Buster Call to spandam but he refuses to believe that what she said was the truth as he believes they wont attack him or their allies but just the pirates, Robin then talks to the strawhats

"Twenty years ago, everything was taken from me and many people's lives were ruined. It was caused by a single attack Buster Call. That attack is now....targeted on the friends i was finally able to find, who, i can be myself with. The more i wish to be with you, the more fate will show its fangs to you! No matter how far i go to the sea, i have a huge enemy that i can't shake off....because he world and its darkness are my enemy! The incident with Aokiji, as well as this time.....i've already dragged you into my troubles twice! If this continues forever, even though you guys're good-natured.....you'll eventually feel that i'm a burden! I'm sure you'll betray me one day and abandon me!that's what i'm most afraid of! That's why i didn't want you to come to rescue me! If i'm going to die someday anyway, i want to die right her, right now!"

Spandam then started to laugh while agreeing that no one was stupid enough to take on the burden that was Nico

Robin without wanting to give her up later, he then points to the world government flag above the building. Spandam tell the crew

"That logo indicates the unity of over 170 ,ember countries spanning the four seas and the Grand Line! This is the world! Do you realize how completely powerless you guys are to fight against it?! Do you realize how huge of an organization this woman has been pursued by?!"

"I now understand well the identity of Robin's enemy."

Luffy responds before getting Usopp who was standing next to him to shoot through the flag, which he does using a firebird star that engulfs the flag in flame leaving it ashes in mere moments. This action shocked Robin and every marine and world government agent on Enies Lobby as it is a declaration of war against the World Government!

"Robin! We still haven't heard you say it! Say you want to live!"-Luffy

Robin then started to bawl her eyes out as she screams out to them

"I wamt to live! Take me to the sea with you!"
