Chapter 157: First Day of the Territory Battle: Your Responsibility for Our Captain...
Day 1 of the turf war:
Wendy went there alone in the Abigail.
Because Vegapunk had to stay with Mizuki to guard his precious scientific equipment, while the others were responsible for protecting him. Although staying in the protective shield was considered safe, Kizaru stayed behind just in case.
Before leaving, Vegapunk gave Wendy something: "This is a semi-finished product I developed during my research on the Mother Fire... Even though it's semi-finished, its effectiveness is still far from perfect. It might only last for one use of Pluto, or maybe not at all. Anyway, take it with you! Robin knows how to use Pluto."
Vegapunk gave this just in case.
Wendy thought it was very novel, so she picked up the thing and didn't tell the other person that she could use it too, as Robin had taught her.
Chasing was not a difficult task for her, after all, she had the global positioning mod.
【Global Positioning Mod】: Are you still worried about not being able to find your friends? After loading, you can see the location of all your friends!
Note: If it is an unexplored area, only the companion icons will be displayed.
After loading this mod, Wendy easily found the icon representing Robin's location on the map - it was a Q-version head of Robin.
However, the direction this group of people were taking Robin to was one she had never explored before. Looking at the black area, Wendy thought for a moment and chose the most efficient approach - to move straight ahead in that direction.
As for the islands along the way, she didn't care; she'd just crash them all! Her ship's durability was running low, and she'd been planning to build a second one. She could just ask the Pig King (Golden King) Gild Tesoro for the materials!
"Ah... there's still a fight." Wendy suddenly realized. "Hmm... just to be safe, I better switch to my invincible mode."
***
On the other side, CP9, who is still unaware of the impending disaster, is taking Robin to Impel Down.
"Actually, we were supposed to put you on trial... After all, you're the only remaining villain in O'Hara." The CP9 member who spoke had blonde hair, tucked back without bangs, and raised a hand to adjust his glasses. "But since you're also a member of the Eternal Continent Pirates, keeping you alive as a hostage is more valuable. So, we're heading not to the island, but to Impel Down."
Judicial Island is where trials take place, while Impel Down is where criminals are held, known as the world's number one prison. All of them are heavily convicted criminals, and they are held from the highest level down, based on the severity of their crimes and the difficulty of catching them.
Criminals who enter the prison are essentially locked up forever. What awaits them is harsh punishment and the possibility of being taken for human experimentation.
Robin knew this because Vegapunk's experimental subjects had been brought from Impel Down. When she and Ace went to retrieve the failed Pink Dragon Fruit, they encountered criminals contaminated by poison gas, in a terrible state.
Despite being captured, Robin showed no fear, nor did he attempt to flee. His lips even curled up slightly, seemingly tinged with a smile. "Your original target was Mr. Vegapunk, right? You're running away after capturing me because you're afraid of Wendy? You've been hiding as villagers for years, and it's been tough. At least if you lose your job, you'll know how to farm. Shouldn't you thank Wendy for that?"
Someone nearby was enraged and was about to come forward to fight, but was stopped.
Rob Lucci, the captain of CP9, walked in and looked at Robin, "Nico Robin, we are not going to kill you in the first place. It will do you no good to anger us."
The smile on Robin's face faded and he looked at the other person solemnly.
"Even if Wendy Carter comes back, she won't be able to catch up in a short time..." Rob Lucci was halfway through his words when someone ran in in a panic: "Captain Lucci! Wendy Carter is coming here in the Pluto!"
"..." Rob Lucci's face was calm, without a trace of panic or even a change of expression. He changed the subject very naturally, "Even if she was driving the Pluto, you wouldn't use it to directly hit the ship if you were on top..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a loud noise outside and the ship began to shake violently - it was obvious that the other party had collided with the judicial ship they were on.
"Everyone, calm down!" Rob Lucci's attitude remained calm. "Even if she hits the ship, her Pluto has no firepower, so it can't..."
"Captain, shut up! You're such a bad mouth!"
"That's what I'm saying! Do you know that if Pluto really gave us a shot, there's no way any of us would survive!"
At that moment, Wendy's voice rang out from outside. It was obvious she was shouting through a loudspeaker or Den Den Mushi: "Listen up, everyone inside! Release Robin quickly! Otherwise, you're all doomed!"
"Huh...hostages are still useful."
"What should we do? What should we do?"
"We can negotiate with Wendy Carter and see if we can exchange Nico Robin for Pluto? Our original mission was just to capture Pluto, right?"
Just as CP9 was discussing, they felt a huge light coming on outside... the kind that seemed to be enough to blind people.
A group of people ran to the window and looked over, then fell into collective silence.
"Um...where's that island just now?"
"Wendy Carter... actually mastered how to use Pluto..."
A group of people murmured in shock. Then, they heard Wendy's voice clearly: [Ah, I accidentally hit it off target...]
Everyone: "..." No, where were you originally planning to hit?!
"What's going on?! Doesn't she care about her crew?!"
"Hey! Nico Robin! What's wrong with your captain?!"
Robin looked at them, raised his chin, and a confident smile appeared on his face: "Haha, you have no idea about our captain's willful self."
One member shouted back angrily, "Then you don't have to be so proud, do you?! What are you so happy about?! You're going to die too, okay?!"
"Everyone, don't panic." Rob Lucci remained calm, his face expressionless as he said, "Wendy Carter is just threatening, she won't really..."
The other members roared in unison: "Shut up!"
Just as they finished shouting, the ship was hit violently again. The expressions of the group of people changed.
"This can't go on...We need to deal with Wendy Carter head-on."
"It seems that Wendy Carter is the only one here this time."
"Let's call Wendy Carter over... and while she's rescuing Nico Robin, we can take Pluto away."
"But will she be so easily fooled?"
The group of people acted as soon as they said they would. Someone ran out and shouted at Wendy with a Den Den Mushi using a loudspeaker, "Wendy Carter! We will leave Nico Robin on this ship. Come and take her away yourself!"
[Oh, okay!] Wendy appeared on the deck without hesitation, looking ready to come over.
A group of people: "..." What's going on? It seems that the Fifth Emperor is not very smart.
But this was in their favor, as the group did not lie and even completed the handover quickly.
When Wendy found the imprisoned Robin, a group of people also came to Pluto's cockpit, and they were even a little bit unbelievable - did they get Pluto so easily?
On the other side, seeing Wendy appear, the expression on Robin's face softened in an instant.
But the next second, she became worried again: "Wendy, you came here alone? If you leave the Abigail over there, they will take it away."
Wendy was helping her remove the seastone handcuffs. She was shocked when she heard this: "What? They're so mean!"
Wendy doesn't seem afraid of touching seastone... Robin glanced at Wendy as she put the seastone handcuffs into her backpack, a look of deep thought. However, there were more important things before him: "We need to recapture the Abigail... But the Abigail is much faster than this Judicial Ship. I wonder if we can keep up..."
"It's okay. The Abigail only has 1% of its durability left. It will scatter if they hit the ship." Wendy said, and walked onto the deck with Robin.
Robin looked through the telescope - Wendy was right, the Abigail, which had sailed some distance away, either ran aground or encountered a sea king, and the ship disintegrated instantly.
Just like the other ships Wendy built...it became a pile of materials scattered on the ground.
Robin was silent.
Hmm... That's how Wendy is made. Before its durability is depleted, no matter how much it's destroyed, it won't seem to cause any major problems. That's what happened when those two people who emerged from the magic circle tried to destroy the Abigail. They gave up after failing...
But once the durability reaches 0, it will turn into a pile of materials - according to Wendy, only half of the manufacturing materials are left.
I hope the CP9 people don't think that Pluto is a shoddy project...
"Oh, I have to rebuild another one..." Wendy sighed, "Luckily I moved everything off the ship before I came here."
Thanks to Vegapunk's involvement, we now have special tools that can directly move refrigerators, wooden boxes, and other items that would otherwise be impossible to move in their entirety. Moving is now much easier.
"Robin, Robin, let's go collect some materials." Wendy went over and pulled Robin's sleeve.
Robin didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only look at his captain and smile back, "Yeah, okay."
This time, the CP9 people did not stop them.
Perhaps because they knew the game was over, or perhaps because everyone who tried to stop them was defeated by Wendy Carter in one blow, they could only swim away silently, and by the way, they picked up their companions who couldn't swim because they had eaten the devil fruit.
Wendy had no intention of driving the Judicial Ship back. After finishing all this, she changed the teleport sign mod back, teleported back first, opened the teleport focus, and then used the teleport wand to bring Robin back with her.
When Robin reunited with everyone, Wendy also ran towards Ace and Hawkeye who had returned.
"Mihawk! Ace! Come back..." Wendy said, then suddenly paused, her expression gradually becoming confused, "Mihawk, your health points are down?"
