"Not as much resistance as i expected, we should be able to tear right through but what's that?" Zoro asked "Just ignore them"Nicole waved it off "Alright guys you head to the roof and join up with Strawhat, we'll stay here at the roof and hold off the marines we'll watch your back so keep moving and don't worry about the small fry"the guy said.

"You got it, which way do we go?"Zoro asked "Straight ahead there are stairs on both sides let's make our way to the top"Nami said "Right"Zoro said going on ahead with Nicole at his heels, they dealt with the marines and continued heading towards the stairs when Sanji came running in picking a fight with Zoro over Nami "What?! Why would i want her? I've got Nicole"Zoro said.

"Aww!You're such a sweetheart"Nicole squealed a bit hugging Zoro as Sanji and ran on ahead ignoring them, Nicole grabbed Zoro's hand dragging him along as she caught up to the others when the judge came flying at them "Chopper, Nami, Nicole go on ahead i'll make quick work of this thing and catch up with you in a second"Zoro said.

"You'll just get lost!"Nicole yelled at him when the Franky family pulled the judge guy down, Zoro smirked "Let's go"he said dragging Nicole with him as they were still holding hands, Nicole pulled to the front leading the way and dragging Zoro with her.

The Strawhats made their way up and met up with Luffy on the roof "Come on Robin work with me here, you can say what you want if you wanna die or whatever that's fine but when you say it you say it as part of our crew"Luffy said, the crew joined their captain on the pillars all standing in an epic line up Nami, Nicole, Zoro, Luffy, Usopp erm Sogeking, Sanji and Chopper in that order "From now leave everything to us"Luffy said.

 "Stupid pirates you may act though but you don't know what you're getting yourselves into! Open your eyes you don't think you could beat all of CP-9 do you? And what about the gates of justice? You don't think you can open them do you? Even then if things go wrong i have this! A golden transponder snail giving me the authority to wish you a buster call!"Spandam yelled.

"A buster call?"Robin asked "Yes that's right i'm sure you remember it's power well after all it did destroy your homeland twenty years ago"Spandam said 'Oh yeah it's coming together now' Nicole thought, her father had told her about the so called devils of Ohara and how the island was wiped off the map because of a single eight year old child.

Nicole didn't buy it though, the government had a habit of covering up anything that was inconvenient to them, now it was all coming together with the buster call, Robin's reaction and this power crazed idiot, of course Nicole could only guess what happened but knowing her track record with guess work she was probably mostly right on the money.

"If you trigger a buster call everything will be destroyed, that includes all of Enies Lobby and most likely you as well"Robin said "None sense what are you saying? They wouldn't kill a VIP like me! I'm not falling for your bluff"Spandam said.

"Twenty years ago everything was taken from me and many innocent lives were lost with one push of a button, it summoned a terrible demon, now it rears it's head again, aiming it's sights on the friends i searched so hard to find, the more i wish for us to be together the more my ugly faith bares it's fangs at you even now no matter how far we sail there's an enemy that haunts me at every turn, because i'm facing the world and all of it's darkness"Robin said.

"First it was Aokiji and now CP-9 i dragged you into my troubles twice already, if it goes on and on like this no matter how kind you may be someday you'll see me as a burden, someday you'll be forced to betray me and throw me away, that's what i'm most afraid of, understand that why i didn't want you to rescue me! If that's the only future i have i rather die to save me the pain!" Robin yelled.

"There you have it, yup, right on the mark, what a sorry case even if you make friends all you can do is drag them through the mud with you!"Spandam laughed at Robin "You can't win pirates look at this flag! This symbol represents the unity of over one hundred seventy nations, a power that spans the four seas and the Grand Line! This is the world itself! No matter how loud your bark maybe you can't stand up to an enemy like that just face it already, do you realize how strong our organisation is? Do you realize how devoted we are to capturing her?!"he yelled.

"If that's Robin's enemy then i know what to do, Sogeking shoot down that flag"Luffy said, "Roger"Sogeking said and fired a shot at the flag burning it down "Are you kidding me?! Don't think you can oppose the entire world and make it out alive!"Spandam yelled "Bring it on!!" Luffy yelled back.

"Robin! I need to hear it from you! Say you want to live!!"Luffy yelled "I WANT TO LIVE!! TAKE ME OUT TO SEA WITH YOU!!"Robin yelled, the drawbridge started to come down but it came to a halt when it was fired at "What happened why'd it stop?"Sanji asked "Damn those marines they really piss me off stop getting in the way!"Luffy yelled.

Franky had the blueprints for Pluton all along and after proving they were the real ones he burned them, the Franky family showed up and cheered relieved to see their big bro was okay "Shut up! That's enough! Robin's waiting hurry up and bring down the bridge!"Luffy yelled "Hey Strawhat!"Franky called.

"Thanks for helping out my men while i was gone but now that the gangs all here the one and only Franky will show you how super his gratitude can be"Franky said "I don't need your help! I'm still mad about what you did to Usopp so don't think we're friends!"Luffy yelled, Spandam pushed Franky off the building.

"Hey Strawhats!"a voice came from the transponder snail "Huh? Granny Kokoro?"Nami asked holding up the snail "I heard everything why're you all just standing around?"Kokoro asked "We're not standing around the bridge broke there's no way over"Nami said "It's halfway down isn't it? That's more then enough, just hang on i'll be there in four seconds jump into the waterfall, give it all you got trust me"Kokoro said.

The Strawhats heard the sea train whistle, Luffy grabbed everyone and jumped down, they landed on Rocketman as the sea train flew from the drawbridge over to the Tower of Law, they crashed inside the building "Alright we made it!"Luffy said getting out of the rubble "Come on you guys get up already, you've been through worse then that"he said turning to his crew, they each got out of the rubble.

Luffy rushed off towards the staircase but his crew was quickly following behind "Not so fast! So you've invaded the tower of law, there's no point in going on you won't ever find Nico Robin, Lucci already taken her to the gates of justice and the chief's with them too"Fukuro said appearing at the corner of the room.

"Really? Thanks for telling us where we should start looking"Nami said "And i didn't even have to use any Haki"Nicole smirked "It doesn't matter i might have told you where their headed but i'm not gonna tell you how to get there and you'll never make it past our CP-9 agents we've been given direct orders to eliminate you, you want Nico Robin then you'll have to fight through each of our agents to succeed"Fukuro said.

"Duh i liked you better when you were telling us things we didn't know"Luffy said "You've got some fire in you but i've got one more thing to tell you"Fukuro said before digging a key out from his pocket "A key? What's it for?"Sanji asked "For all you know it might the key needed to unlock Nico Robin's sea prism stone handcuffs"Fukuro said.

"Even if you got past us and save her in some imaginary world that sea prism stone is tougher then a diamond she'd have to live with them on her wrist for the rest of her life, so be my guest go try save her if you think you can"Fukuro said before Luffy went to punch him "Don't be hasty, you don't know if this the right key"Fukuro said after dodging the punch with that shave trick.

"You've got to be kidding!"the others yelled at him "It might be a key to another pair of cuffs for all you know, it this great tower of law, there are six members of CP-9 including me and each and every member has their very own key"Fukuro sang "So you're saying we gotta beat each one of you guys and then try every key on her handcuffs? And that's the only way we can find the real one?!"Zoro asked.

"What a stupid way to keep us busy, while we're wasting time on your key hunting game your chief is gonna escape through those gates with Robin"Sanji said "That's exactly the plan!" Fukuro sang "Retrieving Robin is our first priority, if we can get Robin first we can worry about the keys afterwards, let's just ignore that weirdo and start searching"Nami said.

"I'm afraid if you do that then you leave me no choice, i'll toss this key into the ocean, we're kind enough to give you guys a sporting chance see ya"Fukuro said before taking off "Hey! Get back here!"Luffy yelled running after him "Hold on Luffy!"Zoro said grabbing the rubber boy "Will you just wait a second? Stop running and listen to me, let's decide what we're gonna do before we split up"Zoro said.

"I'm guessing Lucci's that pigeon guy?"Sanji asked turning to Franky "Yeah that's him"Franky said "From what that freak told us he's the only one guarding Robin our best bet is to send Luffy after him, excluding Luffy we got a headcount of seven and he said there are six agents with keys so i say we spread out take them down and catch up with Luffy"Sanji said.

"I can tell you the agents are all scattered around this tower, i'm not sure which ones are which but i guess it doesn't matter, we'll have to face whoever we run into"Nicole said "If they drag her across those gates we'll never get her back, it's a race against time"Sogeking said "Then let's get going"Zoro said letting Luffy run off "Take them down or we die trying"Zoro said and the Strawhats plus Franky moved out.
