"Why... why was the Buster Call activated...?" Spandam knelt on the ground, pounding the floor with his right fist repeatedly. He couldn't understand why he had pressed the button.
This was Enies Lobby. He knew all too well what it ant to activate a Buster Call here.
Even with his father's achievents backing him, the furious Five Elders might still have him executed.
"This idiot..." Rob Lucci muttered with a grim expression.
Why was their superior such a fool? Launching a Buster Call on Enies Lobby—what was he thinking?!
Destroying the eight-hundred-year-old Enies Lobby with their own Buster Call was like slapping the World Governnt in the face!
"Did you do sothing?!" Kalifa glared at iser, her eyes sharp.
She had clearly seen the strange expression on his face just monts ago!
Spandam, as if clutching at straws, scrambled up from the ground, his disheveled hair making him look like a demon as he stared at iser. "Was it your doing?!"
If this wasn't his own doing, the punishnt he'd receive would be much lighter—at least he might not be executed... hopefully.
"You were the one who pressed the button. What does it have to do with ?" iser scoffed.
"Impossible! There's no way I would've pressed it!"
"But that's exactly what happened~"
Spandam: "..."
Yes, this was the truth. He had personally pressed the button on the Golden Den Den Mushi. The Buster Call that would soon obliterate Enies Lobby had been activated by him.
"Hah, I see." Sanji seed to have figured sothing out and chuckled.
"What? What is it?" Usopp looked at him in confusion.
"Just watch."
Sanji had no intention of explaining—after all, the enemy was right in front of them. Speaking up would an revealing the truth.
"Interesting."
Zoro also smirked, having caught on just like Sanji.
Earlier, when opening the gates of Enies Lobby, iser had already demonstrated his ability—an Illusion Technique that could control people without them realizing it!
This guy must have been manipulated by iser into activating the Buster Call... Well, that works!
iser had already said he'd handle the Buster Call problem. If that was the case, then they'd leave it to him!
A powerful Ninja capable of manipulating seawater—taking down ten Navy Battleships alone wasn't impossible.
"It seems they know sothing." Kaku forced himself to stay calm as he spoke.
He had observed the expressions of the Straw Hat Pirates. Though they hadn't explained, this incident was undoubtedly connected to them.
No matter how much of an idiot Spandam was, he wouldn't use a Buster Call to destroy his own territory. Sothing was clearly wrong here!
"Bastards! If you won't talk, then let CP9 and the Buster Call crush you!" Spandam took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
Then, he glanced at CP9 and ordered, "Nico Robin must not be lost. Capture them now!!"
Only three of them were here. If all of CP9 attacked together, taking down this guy shouldn't be a problem.
"Just now, none of you could do anything to , and now you think you can take down?" iser tilted his head slightly.
"Then was then, now is now." Jabra sneered. "With two deadweights dragging you down, do you really think you can escape unscathed?!"
He admitted the opponent's speed was indeed fast—so fast that sotis he couldn't even react. This ant hitting him wouldn't be easy.
But... this ti, with Nico Robin and Franky weighing him down, his speed advantage might not be so effective!
"Chapapa, the tables have turned~"
"Hmph, as long as Nico Robin is in my hands, there's no problem."
Having cald down, Spandam realized this point. While destroying Enies Lobby with a Buster Call would be disastrous, if he could bring Nico Robin back, it ant reviving the Ancient Weapon!
The Ancient Weapon... a terrifying weapon capable of obliterating an entire island in a single strike!!
With such an achievent, his rits could offset his mistakes—no problem at all!
No... perhaps he might even receive a reward!
Thinking this, Spandam grew visibly excited.
"Robin won't return to your hands," iser said, clapping his hands together. "Not now, not ever!"
As he spoke, water began to ripple at iser's feet, and the ground trembled faintly.
"Take him down!"
"Shave!"
Cipher Pol 9 attacked iser simultaneously, clearly intent on killing him.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"BOOM!!"
A massive water dragon materialized out of thin air, forcefully repelling CP9 and halting their assault.
"What the hell is this?!"
Jabra, steadying himself, wore an expression of disbelief. What was he seeing?
An enormous water dragon had appeared on the balcony in an instant, engulfing the three of them.
Not only that, but the water dragon then soared into the air, flying toward the distant Courthouse?!
"Water Release... is this guy a ninja?!" Spandam, who had been washed into the corridor by the waves, froze for a mont before roaring, "Don't let him escape! Capture that ninja!!"
If this man was truly a ninja, he might be from the Land of Wano!!!
This ant they could potentially extract information about Wano from him—another monuntal achievent!
Hearing Spandam's shouts, the stabilized CP9 mbers snapped back to attention.
"A ninja?"
Weren't those just things from stories? How could a real ninja appear now? Could he be a Devil Fruit user?
"Not good, he's heading back to the Courthouse!" Rob Lucci said.
"Tempest Kick!"
CP9 attacked together, launching a barrage of Tempest Kicks at the water dragon, shattering its rear half into splashing waves!
"BOOM!!"
"BOOM!!"
"BOOM!!"
The water dragon, nearing the Courthouse, seed to lose montum, exploding into a shower of water as it plumted downward.
"Hmph, thinking you could escape right in front of us? What a pipe dream," Jabra scoffed.
"But... didn't the boss order us to capture him alive? Chapapa."
Jabra: "..."
Damn it, he didn't think before acting. If Nico Robin and that Ninja were killed, wouldn't they be punished?
"Stay calm," Rob Lucci said with a grave expression. "They're fine."
"Why do you say that?"
"Can't you hear Franky's voice coming from over there?" Kaku pointed into the distance.
"You bastards, I thought I was gonna die!" Franky shouted.
As the spray of water faded, the full view from the top of the Courthouse beca clear.
There stood iser, smiling casually on the high platform beside the Straw Hat Pirates—his left arm wrapped around Nico Robin's waist and his right hand gripping Franky's leg, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with his crew!
"iser!!"
"Amazing, he got Robin back!"
The entire Straw Hat Pirates crew looked at iser in pleasant surprise, clearly not expecting him to retrieve Nico Robin so effortlessly.
"We've... been tricked!!"
"Damn that Ninja!!"
