One Piece (Love Story) [Part Two]

Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Eight [Rewritten]

-Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty-Eight-

"Yeah, bring it on!" Luffy shouted, causing the lavender-haired man to scream fearfully. "Robin! There's still something I want to hear you say—tell me you want to live!" he demanded.

"Robin..." Chopper breathed out.

"Robin..." Nami mumbled.

"Come on, say it..." I quietly urged as I watched her lips tremble, her mouth opening and closing as she struggled to get the words out.

"I want to live!" she finally cried. "Take me with you! Take me away from here!"

"Oh, you guys! You're so awesome, I love you!" a blue-haired man suddenly sobbed, and if I were to take a gander based on the way he appeared to be handcuffed just like Robin, I would assume that he must be this Franky fellow that the Franky Family came here to save.

"Let's go!" Luffy grinned as he cracked his knuckles.

"Look! The draw bridge is lowering!" Chopper pointed.

"Ah! He's right!" I brightened. "Seems like they succeeded!"

"Yeah, our reinforcements pulled it together after all—and just in time too" Sanji nodded.

"I'm trembling with excitement" Sniper King shakily said, violently trembling.

"Come on, hurry up!" Zoro grinned, impatiently bouncing his leg as if he couldn't wait to just get to the other side and start the fight.

"Looking scary there, Zoro..." Nami remarked.

"Nah, he's just excited is all" I chuckled.

"Hey, Robin! We'll save you no matter what!" Luffy called up to the older woman, bringing a gentle smile to my face. He wasn't wrong, I had faith that we'd save her and everything would work out in the end.

"Stay away!" the lavender-haired man cried.

"They're in high spirits" Kalifa remarked.

"They sure got guts burning down our flag" the raven-haired man grinned.

"They're just idiots—they dug their own graves the second they stepped foot in here" Kaku frowned.

"Yeah, but they sure got the boss scared" the blond-haired man pointed as he looked at the man still sobbing in fear.

"No! Stay over there!" he frantically screamed.

"What happened? Why did it stop?" Sanji frowned when the draw bridge suddenly halted halfway through its descent—smoke now leaking from its gears.

"Either a malfunction or the Marines had something to do with it" I suggested.

"Damn those Marines, they really piss me off!" Luffy growled. "Stop getting in the way!" he angrily snapped.

"We got it, Chief Spandam! Evacuate the Tower of Law!" Central Freeway shouted from below.

"Good work! Also, good advice!" Spandam nodded. "This should buy me enough time to get to the Gates of Justice—alright! Move it!" he snapped as he roughly grabbed hold of Robin. "Somebody grab Cutty Flam and bring him too!" he ordered.

"Robin!" Chopper worriedly cried.

"Leave her alone!" I snapped.

"They're nobodies, just a bunch of scum!" Spandam sneered. "As I have CP9 here, I'm practically invincible! Better yet, I got the only person who can revive the ancient weapons—Nico Robin!" he proudly boasted as he started to laugh. "Not to mention, the man who inherited one of their blueprints, Cutty Flam! I'm not letting this slip through my fingers—I'll crush as many pirates as it takes!
