Two Dreams, One Adventure

Unfair Fight

"Listen Robin, we came all this way for you! So we're gonna rescue you! And if you still wanna die, then die afterwards!" Nami and Chopper were the first to make it to the roof, and Luffy didn't turn to look. There was still lots and lots of battling going on below, but he could smell them all coming closer. They were nearly all face to face against their enemies.

Maybe their toughest enemies so far. Baroque Works was hard, but they weren't CP9. They were different. These guys were evil and pretended they were doing justice when they were just hurting people. Luffy wasn't gonna die or bow down at the hands of the government. Hell no. He'd rather die drowning than be bested by some government person. Then they couldn't claim they were ever stronger than him.

Zoro climbed up next. "Yo, Luffy. Already had some fun while we were taking out fodder?" he asked, seeing Blueno. Luffy nodded.

"I was bored and it was going too slow." Nami, Chopper and Zoro were up, then followed by Sanji. Luffy could hear Sogeking and smell him screaming as he somehow made it to the roof from far below. Did one of the giants throw him or something? When he landed, they were now all there.

Luffy said, "Robin! I don't care whether you want to choose to live or die! But whatever you decide, say it while you're with us!" Luffy shouted, fists balled. He was so sad she wanted to die, and it brought back memories of what Ace was like after Sabo died, but he was still going to rescue her whether she fought the whole way or not.

He wasn't a tyrant captain, but he wasn't going to allow this.

"That's right Robin-chan! Come back with us!"

"Robin, we miss you!"

"Please!"

Tears were in her eyes. They all stood on the rivets on the building side by side, unwavering. They refused to back down. "Just leave everything to us!" Luffy shouted. CP9 stood across from them still, and lighty commented on how it was impressive they made it this far, through the aqua laguna, as well.

"Boy, how did you make it here?" Kaku asked.

"I'm tough," Luffy said shortly. "It's not gonna be easy to get rid of any of us."

"Well, we have permission to kill you, now. Though I did intend to kill you when I threw you out of the train car."

"Cause I bit you." Zoro snorted, and Lucci's eye just barely twitched at that.

"He bit you?! Then he's a monster!" Spandam shouted. Zoro asked if he did something to the guy's eye.

"I threw a rock at him. He was being mean to Robin! What a jerk."

Lucci didn't seem indifferent anymore about Luffy, but like he would have fun trying to kill him. Well, that was how it was going to end. Nobody expected any different. Spandam was scared of how many were there, and was getting emergency medical treatment on his eye. Apparently it wasn't good at all. The rock hit right against the retina, damaging it severely and it might not even be saved during surgery.

"That little shit blinded me in one eye! Kill him!" Spandam shouted in tears. The CP9 didn't move. They were already planning on doing that, they didn't need that coward to order them to. Nobody showed any concern for their boss's wellbeing. Franky openly mocked him. Robin stayed quiet, her face firm but body trembling.

Lucci assured Spandam he was safe there, in a bored voice. They wouldn't let anything happen to him. "You think you're tough because you got here? You don't stand a chance! No matter how brave you are, you'll never win!" He felt much more confident now that he was standing behind very sure and strong agents that could stop any projectile from hitting him now. But Luffy was proud he blinded him. His face was already a mess, a missing eye could perhaps complete the picture.
