【One Piece】Dawn in the Darkness

Chapter 326 Enies Judicial Island

"Don't forget the deal between us!"

The three of them turned to look at Rob Lucci who was standing at the door of the carriage.

"Is it coming?"

Qi looked at the handcuffs on Kaku calmly. Although he knew it was impossible, he still jokingly said, "I won't need them. I haven't taken off this one yet."

"Kaku." Rob Lucci ignored his words and asked Kaku to take action.

"Isn't this bad, Brother Qi?" After Rob Lucci and Kaku left, Franky looked at Qi's wrists handcuffed behind his back and said with some worry, "Won't anyone be able to escape now?"

"Ah, yes, that's terrible." Qi nodded in agreement. "There's really nothing we can do now. We can only wait for Luffy to save us."

"Huh?" Franky looked at Qi in disbelief. "Shouldn't you have a plan?"

"Well... my plan is... to wait for Luffy to rescue me." Qi said the unreliable words with a serious face.

"Then why are you acting so confident!" Franky complained speechlessly. He had just spoken so confidently. He thought he had some plan to let them escape, but in the end they had to wait for the Straw Hat Boy to rescue them.

"I believe in Luffy, right, Sister Robin." Qi turned to look at Robin and grinned.

Robin looked at the seriousness on Qi's face in silence. After a moment, he turned his head and stopped looking at him. "You are an idiot."

"Huh?" Qi looked at Robin dissatisfiedly. "This sentence is usually said about Luffy."

"You too."

Qi was about to say something when he noticed the train stopped. "Ah, here we are."

"Thank you all for your hard work on this long mission!"

"Take the prisoner out of the car!"

"Asshole, be gentle! Who do you think you are?"

"Wow, that's awesome, Franky." Qi followed behind Robin and watched Franky bite the head of a navy soldier, encouraging him without thinking too much.

"Open the main door!"

"What the hell is this place! I've never been here before..." Franky looked at the huge waterfall surrounding the building in shock. "There's a huge hole in the sea!"

"Indeed, this island is really strange, as if it is suspended in the air." Qi complained, but if that's the case, it would be difficult for them to escape.

After crossing the suspension bridge, we soon arrived at the small island that really seemed to be suspended in the air. There was a tall tower-like building on it. The most eye-catching thing was the huge door behind it.

……

"Waaaaaah! Damn frog!"

"Cuck!!"

"Quack! I was going to eat you! I was about to catch up with Sanji and the others!" Luffy angrily slapped the giant frog's head, "but you slapped me off track!"

"Yokozuna, come here!"

"Huh?" Luffy, who was grabbing the frog's mouth and preparing to teach it a lesson, looked at Granny Kokoro in confusion.

"Quack quack!"

"What do you mean I'm fine? It's not like I was arrested, you impulsive guy!"

"Ever since Mr. Tom was taken away eight years ago, you've been training on the train day after day. You want to become stronger, so that the person you love won't disappear from your sight."

Granny Kokoro smiled and said, "Now is the time for you to show the results of your training. Your favorite Franky is now the same as Mr. Tom. We are going to rescue him now. Do you want to come with us?"

"Cuck!"

"Straw Hat Boy, another new friend!"

"I see, mother-in-law, you are indeed a monster!" Luffy said in surprise.

"Well, hehehe, just say whatever you want!" Grandma Kokoro was not angry at Luffy's words.

"Granny Kokoro, we've found a favorable current at eight o'clock!"

"Okay, let's just rush over! We've wasted quite a bit of time!"

……

"What! So, it was Brother Franky who sacrificed himself?" Zanbai asked, looking at Sanji and Usopp sitting on the deck. They got lost because of Frog and Rocket Man, and when they were moving along the track, they happened to meet Sanji and Usopp in the two disconnected carriages.

Through Sanji's narration, they learned how great a thing Brother Franky had done, and that he even sacrificed himself in order to allow Robin to reunite with the Straw Hat Boy.

"Well, yes, he wanted to do this to save Sister Robin." Sanji nodded. He didn't expect that Franky would do such a thing at that time.

"Hey! We can already see the lights of Nevernight Island!"

"We have to hurry over, otherwise it will be too late!" Sanji muttered to himself as he looked at the light. Although Qi said he would protect Robin, he was still worried, especially about Robin's condition.

"Sanji!!"

"Oh, Luffy!!" Sanji looked in the direction of the voice in surprise. Luffy was standing at the front of the train and waving to them.

Soon they successfully reunited and were about to arrive at Judicial Island.

"Yes, I am the Sniper King of Sniper Island. I'm here to help you on behalf of Usopp!" Usopp crossed his hands in front of his chest, acting like he was an otherworldly master, and successfully fooled Luffy and Chopper.

"Hero... As soon as I saw the cloak you were wearing, I knew you must be a hero!" Luffy said in amazement, "Wow, this is the first time I've seen a hero!"

"A hero wearing a cape... so handsome!" Chopper was also shocked.

The others looked at Luffy and Chopper speechlessly. That was clearly Usopp, yet they didn't recognize him at all...

Sanji did not join in their complaints. With a serious expression, he gathered everyone together. He told everyone what happened in the carriage and the reason why Sister Robin refused to come back with them.

"So, CP9 saw through this psychological weakness of Robin-san." Sanji said solemnly, "I'm not making excuses for not rescuing Robin-san, but we're about to go deep into the enemy camp, and we can't be sure if Robin-san will come back with us."

"That's probably why Qi couldn't just bring Sister Robin back." Sanji thought of what Qi said when he left and concluded, "The key is Sister Robin's wishes."

"I don't care about that! I will never forgive them!" Luffy raised his hands angrily "Asshole Robin!"

"What are you talking about!" After hearing Luffy's last words, Nami angrily hit Luffy.

"Isn't it? Why doesn't she want us to save her?" Luffy turned and looked at Nami angrily.

"Robin is worried that we will be in danger after she is rescued!" Nami explained. She could actually understand Robin's thoughts, but she would not accept it.

"I don't care! If we don't save her, she will be killed!" Luffy said firmly, "But she doesn't want to die, so we must save her!"

"What we have to do has not changed, which is to save her!" said Zoro.

"I'm going to knock all the enemies away!" Luffy turned around angrily. "I have a new move I want to try!"

"Everyone, come and look at this!" Barry took out a blueprint of Judicial Island and placed it on the ground, pointing at the buildings on it. "The basic layout of Judicial Island is like this: Main Gate - Main Island Front Gate - Court Square - Courthouse - Judicial Tower - Gate of Justice."

"What is that black thing?" Luffy asked, pointing at the black part surrounding the entire building.

"The black one is a waterfall. You'll understand once you go inside," Barry explained. "Anyway, the only way to enter the Gate of Justice is through the Tower of Justice behind the main island. If we can't rescue Nico Robin and Franky within the straight line from the main gate to the Gate of Justice, we'll have no chance."
