Chapter 405

NONONO, even without her, they would have arrived here safely. Her going would only be meddling.

Uh... take a short nap?

NO! Does she want to die? What if something changes?

95 All present.

Sima Di was very conflicted.

"So painful... with nothing to do, yet I can't relax my nerves..." Sima Di yawned. "Let me calculate, I haven't slept for two days and a night... but I can't sleep. What if someone comes to cause trouble... That guy said people would wait for him at the Three-Masted Ship... but what if there are some at Justice Island too... Nine old immortals remain, none of whom are easy opponents... Ah... I can't sleep... I must stay alert..."

Sima Di's voice grew quieter and quieter, finally turning into steady breathing.

Opposite, the Tower of Justice.

"Hey, that auntie actually fell asleep in the courthouse."

"What asleep? It's clearly mutual destruction." He spoke nonsense with his eyes open.

"But there isn't a single drop of blood on her..."

"How could I be wrong? Maybe it's internal injuries."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure."

"... Hey, don't tell me you've taken a liking to that old woman?"

"You know what I like. This type doesn't suit my taste... I'm just stating facts."

"You... fine. Let's say you're right. Even if she really fell asleep, she won't pose any threat to us. We won't tell that idiot boss about this for now... But we two must perform well this time; we absolutely must get regularized!"

"Understood."

About twenty minutes later.

"Luffy! Robin! We've come to save you!"

Luffy's loud voice echoed across the courthouse roof.

Spandam, inside the Tower of Justice opposite, heard it clearly. He stretched his neck to look out and saw Bruno lying on the ground and Luffy, looking extremely arrogant.

Spandam stepped back in fright and suddenly sat on the ground.

"How could this be... He's CP9! The superhuman Bruno who uses 'Haki'... lost to that Straw Hat?!"

Spandam completely ignored Sima Di, who was napping, and assumed all this was done by Luffy.

"Luffy! Robin!"

Luffy shouted several times in succession.

Sima Di helplessly opened his eyes; fortunately, the Modeling Domain was still maintained, so he wasn't startled by Luffy's shouting.

"Luffy, you're here? You're really slow."

Luffy was very surprised to see Sima Di. "You're actually here???"

"You didn't even see such a big living person, that's amazing... But since you're here, the others should be arriving soon too."

Sima Di hadn't finished speaking when he heard a commotion coming from the Tower of Justice.

Looking closely, it turned out to be Franky's doing. Although the move wasn't very elegant, it at least allowed both of them to escape.

Sima Di strangely felt a subtle harmony between Robin and Franky.

She remembered many people called this feeling... a couple's resemblance.

"Robin and Franky are on that balcony; you can see them by tilting your head up slightly... Robin seems locked by Sea Prism Stone, while Franky is fighting the pursuing Marines..." Sima Di told Luffy.

"Eh? Really!" Luffy saw Robin too. "Robin! Wait a moment! I'll try to see if I can get over there! GOMU GOMU NO..."

"Luffy, do you want to ride Silver over?" Sima Di suggested.

"That stupid bird? Sure! I want to ride that super~super big stupid bird from last time!"

Robin saw the two bantering back and forth; this familiar scene made her heart ache immensely.

"Enough!"

Robin's sudden shout made Luffy and Sima Di stop talking and look toward Robin's direction.

"Go back! I don't want to see you anymore! Why did you come to save me? When did I ask you to do this? I... don't want to live!"

Accompanying the last few words, the other companions burst through the rooftop walls and arrived here.

But at the same time, all of CP9 arrived at the Tower of Justice.

Sima Di looked up and saw a familiar figure and a stranger.

"What are you talking about, you guy?" Luffy struck a classic pose, picking his nose and pretending to be stupid.

Sima Di shrugged, quite cooperating with Luffy. "Who knows? Maybe I read too little and don't quite understand."

Spandam, who desperately wanted to see a good show of internal conflict, was so surprised his mouth stayed wide open and wouldn't close. No matter how he thought about it, he never expected things to develop this way.

What kind of guys are the Straw Hat crew? Are they all idiots?

Before Sima Di and Luffy finished their double act, the other "idiots" also appeared one after another.

The first to arrive were Nami and Chopper, sent up by Zoro's sword wind.

Nami landed safely without any fancy moves, while Chopper flew out doing a Thomas 720-degree free spin and landed perfectly on his head.

Zoro arrived third. He looked around and then said calmly, "If I'd known, I should have climbed up like this from the start..." However, he was met with Nami's various roaring outbursts.

"It really is you, you bastard! Luckily we were only hit by the aftershock! If we'd been swept into the middle, we might have died!"

"Hey-ya-ya-ya! Advance! Pork Pot Flying Kick!"

Sanji arrived here full of enthusiasm, striking a pose he thought was very cool, carrying surging love.

"Undoubtedly, I'm the first to arrive. Robin-chan, sorry to keep you waiting... I've come to save you!"

Puh~~~

Under everyone's astonished gazes, the last competitor, Usopp, also arrived here. Although he didn't wear the mask of Sniper King, his heart still belonged to sniping!

He, soaring through the air like a rocket, gave no thought to how he would land, pressing forward with unyielding courage while humming that song that belonged to him!

"Born on Sniper Island, I never miss, never miss, lu-lu-la-lu, the mouse's eyeball, Lo, your heart..."

Crack!

"Ah!"

Sima Di recorded the newly acquired knowledge in her little notebook.

It wasn't just the sound of falling from the third floor that was a "crack"; when thrown and landing, if the highest point and the landing spot were no more than three floors apart, the sound was likewise a "crack."

P. S. The greatest difference between the latter and the former is that the latter still had the leisure to sing a one-minute-long exclusive BGM.

The Straw Hat crew, all present and accounted for.

"Hey! Robin! Listen! Since we're already here, let's save you first! If you still want to die, we'll deal with that later!"

After Luffy finished speaking and saw that Robin still showed no reaction, he raised his voice once more.

"Robin! I'm begging you! It's fine if you don't want to live! Let's talk about these things... when we get back to our side!"

"Yes, Robin!"

"Robin-chan~"

"Robin, come back quickly!"

"Robin!"

96 Sima Di's Doubts

Standing atop the Tower of Justice, Robin bit her lower lip tightly, tears swirling in her eyes.

She clearly saw seven figures lined up in a row, standing at the very edge of the highest point of the courthouse.

Each and every one of them had made the resolve to die.

"Leave the rest to us!" Luffy declared with full confidence.

Whenever someone is moved, there is always some killjoy who comes along to ruin the mood.

And that person, without a doubt, was the trouble-seeking Spandam.

First, Spandam ordered CP9 not to go out, but to deal with everyone inside the Tower of Justice.

This not only ensured his own personal safety but also kindly provided the Straw Hat crew with an excellent battlefield, preparing to wipe out CP9.

Second, Spandam activated his taunting mode, attempting to draw out the seven hundred-level monsters, all except Robin.
