As a result…
The war is already over…
What the hell is that brat Straw Hat Luffy trying to come flying back for?
"It's the Straw Hat kid!"
A Navy Brigadier General furiously drew his sword from its sheath!
These Pirates…
Don't push us too far!
Smoker also bit down on his cigar in shock. What's with this little punk? Two Four Emperors' Pirates showed up in succession just to take him away. Clearly this war should have ended in a damp squib, so why the hell is he suddenly charging back in again!
"That brat!"
Garp also clenched his fist in anger.
This grandson of his…
Does he have any idea how tormented his grandpa has been this whole time!
"Robin!"
Luffy's voice rang out especially loud. Completely unafraid of the crowd of high-ranking Navy officers, he sprang into the air and lunged straight toward Robin!
"His target is Nico Robin!"
A Navy Rear Admiral pointed his drawn blade at Luffy and shouted loudly: "Since the Straw Hat brat came here looking for death on his own, then kill him right here!"
"That damned little punk!"
Garp leapt straight into the air and smashed his fist into Luffy's head, punching Luffy flying backward, knocking him directly onto the Red Hair Pirates' Red Force!
The Navy crowd was still seething with outrage, but the Red Hair Pirates, the Straw Hat Pirates, and the Whitebeard Pirates all moved forward, and even the Konoha Pirates' Golden Ark joined in the commotion. Several Pirate Ships of different sizes sailed toward the Tower of Justice…
Now…
Everyone's attention once again fell on Nico Robin.
Red Sand Sasori's figure floated up from the Golden Ark, mechanical wings spreading from his back, allowing him to hover in midair.
Within the Konoha Pirates, Red Sand Sasori had never been known for raw strength, but he always played the role of strategist whenever the Konoha Pirates stirred up big incidents. His status within the Konoha Pirates was far from ordinary, so his actions clearly made quite a few people feel wary.
"Nico Robin."
"I remember you're supposed to be an archaeologist."
Red Sand Sasori's gaze locked straight onto Nico Robin in the Navy encirclement, as he asked softly: "Back in the Golden Ruins of Nefertari D Lili, one of the Twenty Kings who founded the World Government, you were there as well, one of the witnesses chosen by history. It looks like there's something a bit fishy about your arrest by the World Government…"
"..."
Nico Robin's body trembled; she didn't dare speak.
In this war she was just a pawn. She had no idea what she should do, or how she ought to communicate with the people of the Konoha Pirates…
Because…
She was just a minor character.
The entire Straw Hat Pirates were small fry before the Konoha Pirates!
When they heard Red Sand Sasori speak, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates instinctively halted their actions, as if they wanted to wait until he finished his questioning…
"Everyone, hold up."
Red-haired Shanks raised a hand, signaling his comrades not to act rashly for now. His gaze shifted to Red Sand Sasori, then to Nico Robin.
At a time like this…
Why bring up the matter of the Twenty Kings' ruins?
Red-haired Shanks narrowed his eyes. He also wanted to know a few things—what other secrets lay in the ruins belonging to one of Alabasta's Twenty Kings, to the point where Nico Robin had been captured, and even the Konoha Pirates wanted to stick their hand into this…
These people…
Are they really going to talk about that place here?
"Nico Robin."
Red Sand Sasori lifted his palm, and a Recording Radio Snail appeared in his hand. He spoke calmly: "Right now, the entire world is broadcasting everything that's happening here live. Say a little something. Why did the World Government arrest you? What other secrets lie in the ruins of one of the Twenty Kings of Alabasta that we don't know yet…"
"They…"
Nico Robin bit down hard, as if she had finally made up her mind.
"Don't let her say it!"
A CP0 agent stationed on Enies Lobby appeared here at some point, shouting loudly as he tried to dash toward Nico Robin!
The next moment…
That CP0 agent was instantly cut to pieces!
Senju Tobirama of the Konoha Pirates used Instant Body to appear beside that agent, killed him at a terrifying speed no one could follow, and then returned to the ship again!
"The World Government wants to cover up the world's history once more!"
Nico Robin lifted her head to look up at Red Sand Sasori hovering in the sky, as if in that instant she had figured everything out, and shouted loudly: "History has long since been twisted beyond recognition by the World Government! They want to use the name of the Poneglyph to revise a brand-new history!"
"The World Government wants to erase the true history!"
Nico Robin's hands clenched nervously as she continued shouting: "The World Government wants to use O'Hara's archaeology to cover up the fact that the Heavenly Celestial Dragons seized the rule of the Goddess of Rabbit, to hide the history of the Goddess of Rabbit being sealed away, and to conceal the truth that this world is destined to head toward destruction!"
"..."
Everyone present stared straight at Nico Robin.
"Hold on a second…"
Red-haired Shanks interrupted Nico Robin, his eyes grave as he voiced his doubts: "I've got a few questions. Does the Goddess of Rabbit actually exist? And why would those ruins record that the Goddess of Rabbit would be sealed at the end of the Grand Line…"
This was also something Red-haired Shanks had long been curious about…
Because in this world, only the Roger Pirates had ever truly reached Laugh Tale. Coincidentally, Shanks and Clown Buggy were the only members of the Roger Pirates who never set foot on Laugh Tale, though Red-haired Shanks had, by chance, learned a few truths…
