Chapter 212 - 2

Chapter 194: They've Come to Pick Me UpFukuro spoke up: "dovly measurement! Kalifa, 630!"Kalifa smiled slightly, not minding it at all."Kaku, 2200!"Fukuro continued reporting the numbers.Kaku shrugged, appearing somewhat satisfied.Fukuro pointed at himself: "Me, Fukuro, 850!"[Remember this site's domain name. For Taiwan novels, your best choice is Chao Gei Li.]"Kumadori, 900!""Jabra, 2300!""Lucci, 4000!"Lucci looked up slightly at Jabra and the other two in front of him."Four thousand?!"Jabra jumped up all of a sudden and pointed at Fukuro, shouting, "Hey, did you make a mistake?! How could this guy have a dovly of 4,000! I trained so hard and I'm only at 2,300!"Wasn't Lucci undercover?Where would he find the time to train?"Oh? This old man thought I had already surpassed you." Kaku looked at Jabra in surprise, his tone tinged with teasing."Humph, you're still far from it! And besides, how could my dovly be lower than yours!"Jabra was also a bit annoyed by Kaku, a young man in his twenties, constantly referring to himself as "this old man." "How old are you, anyway? Stop saying 'this old man' all the time, or you really will grow old!"Most importantly, don't make me old too.Fukuro, being a big mouth, directly exposed the secret of why Jabra's dovly had increased: "Chapapa! That's because Jabra insisted on competing with us to see who's stronger in the Six Powers and dragged us into special training. Everyone's dovly went up a bit. Otherwise, Kaku, you would have been second! Chapapa!""Didn't you just promise to keep it a secret, Fukuro!" Jabra roared."Yoyo-i! It has been a long time, and I am deeply ashamed!"Kumadori suddenly knelt on the ground, drawing his short sword with tears streaming down his face. "We abandoned our posts, a truly helpless situation. I have no face to meet my comrades! I have no choice but to commit seppuku to atone for my sins!"With that, he slammed the short sword toward his abdomen.And then...Iron Body: Jade!With the crisp sound of hard objects colliding, the blade of the short sword was blocked by his tensed abdominal muscles, unable to move forward even an inch."I can't die, yoyo-i!"Kumadori looked disappointed."Hahahaha!" Jabra responded with a malicious laugh."Alright, the jokes end here."Lucci interrupted their farce and asked in a low voice, "Shouldn't the three of you be on standby at Enies Lobby? Why are you here?""It's all because of that idiot commander, Spandam."Jabra stopped smiling and curled his lip. "He said something about making sure nothing goes wrong and insisted on sending us as reinforcements.Is it really necessary to make such a big fuss over a mere Nico Robin?"Fukuro looked around and asked, "By the way, where's Blueno? Isn't he with you?"Lucci closed his eyes again. "I sent him to give the Straw Hat Pirates a warning. With his ability, he'll be back soon."Just as he finished speaking, a ripple spread without warning across the side wall of the carriage, and a door was suddenly pushed open."He's back!"Fukuro turned his head excitedly, ready to measure Blueno's dovly.However, what came from inside the door was Blueno's extremely weak voice: "Lu... Lucci..."Immediately after, a blood-covered and semi-conscious Blueno tumbled out from the door, falling heavily onto the floor.Behind Blueno, Luffy wearing his straw hat and Pauly, who was barely standing, stepped out calmly from the door!Luffy pressed down the brim of his straw hat and grinned as he looked at the disappearing door on the floor. "This door-opening ability is indeed quite good."Meanwhile, in the first carriage, Robin, who had been resting with her eyes closed, finally opened them."Hey, can you listen to me, woman!"Franky was wrapped up in a bundle, with only his blue pompadour sticking out. He squirmed on the floor like a caterpillar, his voice full of irritation. "We're in the same boat now! We have to work together to escape this place!"Robin tilted her head slightly and elegantly crossed her legs. Her tone was calm, but a meaningful glint flashed in her eyes. "So, answer my question first, and then I'll consider whether or not to release you.""What question? Ask it already!"Franky urged her; he felt like he was being driven crazy by this woman's composure.Does she even know where this train is headed?"CP9's target while undercover in Water 7 wasn't me initially. Tell me, why did they capture you?"Robin's insight was incredibly sharp. From the snippets of conversation from Lucci and the others, as well as their action priorities, she had already deduced that she wasn't CP9's only target in Water 7, and perhaps not even their primary one.This cyborg in front of her must be hiding some important secret.Franky was stunned for a moment, then became even more irritable. "How should I know what those perverts in black suits wanted with me! Super... It's baffling! I just woke up and was surrounded by them!""Is that so?"Robin gave a soft smile that made Franky's skin crawl. "If you insist on knowing nothing, then we'll just have to be taken to Enies Lobby together. You should know what kind of place that is, right? Once you're in, it's very hard to get out."Franky looked at Robin, who had been sitting elegantly on the sofa since she arrived without so much as a finger bound, while he was tied up like a human zongzi. The stark difference in treatment made him feel incredibly frustrated.Double standards!This is blatant double standards!"Why do you get to sit while I have to be tied up?!"Robin ignored his complaints and instead turned her gaze toward the door connecting the carriages, as if she could see through the metal. The smile on her face deepened with a certain warmth. "Because my friends have already come to get me.""Huh?"Franky was stunned, thinking Robin was talking nonsense. "Are you kidding me? We're on a sea train traveling at high speed. Outside is nothing but the vast ocean!""I'm not kidding."Robin stood up, walked to the window, pulled back a corner of the curtain, and motioned for Franky to look outside.Franky struggled to twist his neck and looked through the window into the dark night sky. Amidst the lightning and thunder, a pirate ship with a sheep's head was cutting through the waves at an almost absurd speed, closely following the sea train. The hull was even shrouded in a faint green light—the power of the wind pushing it forward."Is that a sailing ship? How can it be so fast?"Franky was shocked. The speed of a sailing ship was actually comparable to that of a powerful sea train?This simply defied common maritime knowledge!"Can you tell me now?" Robin returned to the sofa and looked at him leisurely. "What exactly did they capture you for?"Franky looked at the ship chasing them outside, then at the unfathomable woman before him. He gritted his teeth and finally relented. "It's for a blueprint.">
