Disclaimers: One Piece belongs to Oda Eiichirō-sensei. Me, on the other hand, own absolutely nothing, except my OC, the pairing and the fic idea.

Chapter 93: Arc 8: Obtain the 5 Keys! The Straw Hat Pirates vs. CP9!


"Come on, you!" Spandam pulled Robin off. "Now, I'm setting you guys loose." he informed the CP-9 agents. "Pulverize them on this Tower of Justice. I give you permission to butcher them. Lucci, you come with me. Besides everything else, I need you to protect me first. You got that? Funkfreed!" he summoned his elephant. "That's a good boy." he grabbed the scimitar the elephant turned into. "Along with CP-9, I have this especially reserved sword. If I think about it carefully, I have nothing to fear. Now, let's head for the Gates of Justice. If you think you can take this woman back, then just try it, Straw Hat."


"There are some stairs over there." Luffy spotted the staircase after everyone pulled themselves free of the debris. "Let's hurry and get to Robin."

"Wait." Fukuro stopped the group. "We've been invaded." he latched himself on the corner of the wall. "Even if you get to the last room, Nico Robin is no longer there. Lucci already took her to the Gates of Justice. And the Chief, too." he added.

"Is that so?" Nami smirked. "Thanks for that valid piece of information."

"I told them..." Fukuro muttered. "That's okay." he corrected. "Where they're headed now, I'm not gonna tell you how to get there, nor will we of CP-9 allow you to get there. We've been given orders to eliminate you. You guys will all have to get through us in order to free Nico Robin."

"Yeah, we don't need you to tell us that." Luffy retorted. "That's our intention."

"You have such good spirits." Fukuro mocked. "But, let me just tell you one more thing. Frankly speaking," he pulled out a key from his jacket pocket. "Look at this. It's the key to unlock Nico Robin's Sea Prism Stone handcuffs. Just in case you guys are able to save Nico Robin, the Sea Prism Stone is as hard as diamond. Those handcuffs can never be taken off. If you're still okay with that, then keep going and save Nico Robin."

"Then, give it here!" Luffy extended his arm and threw a punch at Fukuro.

"Guess the rumors of CP-9 being experts at Rokushiki are real after all." Sasha noted, the CP-9 agent using Geppo is dodge the punch.

"Don't panic." Fukuro added, landing on the ground. "I haven't said if this is the real key or not."

"Then if we don't capture you, take your key and try it out on Robin's handcuffs, we won't know if it's real or not?" Zoro summarized.

"What a stupid way to gain time." Sanji muttered. "And while we're doing that, you're planning on taking Robin-chan in, aren't you?"

"In this situation, Robin comes first." Nami concluded. "We have to get Robin herself first. The key can come later. Just leave that idiot and hurry on."

"You're a smart one." Fukuro remarked. "But if you do that, then I'll just have to throw this key into the ocean. We're giving you a chance. See ya." using Soru, he took off.

"Wait up!" Zoro pulled Luffy back before he could run after Fukuro. "Just wait until we decide what we're each gonna do individually."

"Is Lucci that pigeon guy?" Sanji asked.

"Yeah, that's right." Franky confirmed.

"If that guy and Robin-chan are together, then we should send Luffy ahead after them." Sanji mused. "Luffy, you go ahead and blast that pigeon guy away. Excluding Luffy, there are seven of us here. From the five CP-9 that are here, we'll grab the five keys that can unlock Robin-chan's handcuffs, then follow Luffy."

"Everyone must win, even if you die trying." Zoro reminded, after letting Luffy run off.

"Right!" everyone nodded and took off.


"I wonder what it is?" Nami mused, running down a passageway with Sasha beside her. "This dungeon like corridor."

"You damn pirates!" Kumadori appeared before the two girls, shaking his khakkhara. "We finally meet here, in the hundredth year."

"Why do we keep running into the weird ones?" Sasha sighed.
