"Bang, bang, bang!"
"Everyone, chase her! Don't let her get away!"
"We have to catch her, or none of us will make it out of this in one piece!"
"Ah!"
"Run!"
"The gangs are fighting again! Everyone, hide quickly!"
Andy, who had just approached the mayor's office building from a hidden spot on the rooftop, heard the dense gunshots from the street below. He also heard the terrified screams of civilians. Looking out, the entire street was in chaos, with people fleeing in all directions.
"It really is for Nico Robin, but didn't she already join Zelas's group? Was she betrayed again?" Andy frowned, pondering to himself. His hawk-like gaze was fixed on the street, where Nico Robin was desperately running forward.
Like an agile rabbit, she darted into an alley at an astonishing speed, simultaneously using her Flower-Flower Fruit ability to create obstacles for the relentlessly pursuing gang members. However, despite her best efforts, the situation remained extremely critical due to the large number of enemies.
Just then, Andy realized he couldn't stand by and do nothing. After all, Nico Robin had saved him. He made a quick decision, swiftly moved to a more advantageous shooting position, then took out a sniper rifle from his system backpack. He aimed at the gang members who posed a serious threat to Nico Robin.
In an instant, several crisp gunshots rang out. Any gang member who could pose a threat to Nico Robin was taken care of by Andy's sniper rifle, falling to the ground one after another.
Nico Robin also noticed that someone was helping her with a sniper rifle. She immediately thought of Andy, knowing that only he would help her. Thinking of this, Nico Robin felt a warmth in her heart.
"Run toward the sea!" Andy's shout came from the rooftop above. Nico Robin knew it was Andy's voice, so she sped up even more. She ran very fast, and Andy also frequently changed his position.
Under Andy's frequent attacks, the pursuing gang members finally realized his presence, and a portion of them turned their guns toward him on the rooftop.
"There's a sniper on the roof!"
"Kill him!"
Several angry voices rang out, and the next moment, countless bullets shot toward Andy's hiding spot. He immediately put away his sniper rifle, then quickly ran from the rooftop toward the sea.
At the same time, in the mayor's office building, Zelas also learned the news of Nico Robin's escape. This situation greatly enraged him, and he immediately gave the order without hesitation, urgently mobilizing the entire city's gang forces to fully pursue and intercept Nico Robin.
In contrast, Andy, running from the rooftop, was much faster than Nico Robin. By the time he reached the seaside and had the jet ski ready, Nico Robin still hadn't appeared.
At this moment, only the sporadic sounds of gunfire could be heard, which instantly made Andy's heart leap into his throat, filled with worry and anxiety. Just as he was burning with impatience, a familiar figure appeared in his sight. Nico Robin had finally appeared.
"Over here!" Andy excitedly shouted at the top of his lungs. Hearing his voice, endless hope surged in Nico Robin's eyes, and she immediately ran toward him. "Hurry and get on!" Andy urged.
Just then, the pursuing gang members also arrived.
"Stop!"
"Shoot! Kill them!"
Nico Robin no longer hesitated. Like a nimble swallow, she immediately jumped onto Andy's jet ski. Seeing this, Andy twisted the throttle, and the jet ski instantly shot out to sea with lightning speed. The jet ski's speed was so fast that Nico Robin hugged Andy tightly in fright. The pursuing gang members were stunned to see this. "What is that thing? How can it be so fast?"
"Bastards!" the captain leading the gang pursuit watched the scene, seething with anger. "Quickly get some boats! Even if they escape to the open sea, I want them found!"
"Yes!" All the gang members immediately began to act, searching for boats to pursue them at sea again, but by then, Nico Robin was nowhere to be seen on the sea.
"Where are we going now?" On the open sea, Andy slowed the jet ski down a bit and turned to ask Robin behind him.
"Asriel is no longer safe. There must have been intervention from other forces, causing Zelas to suddenly change his attitude, so I must leave Asriel!" Robin immediately replied.
Andy understood instantly. Asriel is a country ruled by gangs. Since Sagamia's gangs were pursuing Nico Robin, gangs from other cities must also be looking for her. There were no other boats on this stretch of sea, so Andy stopped the jet ski and asked again, "Going out to sea like this is dangerous.
Do you know how to navigate?" He didn't know how to navigate, and if they ventured into the sea rashly, he might not even be able to tell directions, and then they would be lost at sea. If they were unlucky, they might even encounter a storm.
"That is indeed a problem. How about this? Before they react, we'll go back first, land on a different coastline, and then see what the situation is like," Robin said after a moment of thought.
After speaking, she once again wrapped her arms around Andy from behind. Andy understood. The gangs must now think they had escaped to sea, so returning to Asriel now would paradoxically not be too dangerous. Having made up his mind, he restarted the jet ski and headed toward the coast of another city.
"What kind of boat is this? Such a small boat, no sails, not like a warship with a power wheel, and yet it's so fast?" Now that they were temporarily safe, Robin became curious about the small vessel they were on.
"This is a jet ski. It's driven by an engine, and there's only one of its kind in the world right now," Andy simply replied.
"Sugoi ne~" Robin murmured. Although she didn't understand what an engine was, she just felt it was amazing. The speed was too fast; she felt even a warship couldn't compare.
More than half an hour later, Andy finally found an unmanned coast suitable for them to land, so the two went ashore directly from there, and he also put the jet ski into his system space. Robin saw that as soon as Andy touched the jet ski, it disappeared. She was very surprised, but she didn't immediately ask. The two then entered the mountains.
