You got nothin' to back up all that talk. Tell me, just HOW did you power up by switching to four legs, Mr. Centaur? - Page 110 - Franky: Nuohh!!! I'm falling!! Nero: Hahaha... a pathetic sight. Shall I rescue you? Franky: Oh, no... That won't Be necessary!! You stupid idiot!!! - Page 111 - Franky: I finally got you!!! Nero: Wha-?!! Franky: Now, let's see if four legs REALLY makes a difference or not!! Nero: Shau!! Both my arms and legs are totally stuck!! Damn, I wasn't prepared for that! Franky: Prepared...?! Hahh. Hahh. Uhahaha... Go ahead, make your excuses... And I'll give you time... to prepare your last words in this world... Wait... You're not thinking there's more to this fight, are you? Well, you managed to dodge all my earlier attacks... ...so you haven't yet seen just how much destruction they bring... - Pages 112 & 113 - Franky: ULTIMATE HAMMER!!!! - Page 114 - Sanji: Hey... where the hell did you... Franky: YO!! Did you finish off that ramen guy? Sanji: Yeah, just now. Califa: Well, it just got quite a bit noisier in here. Blueno: And all the soldiers we had along for escort have been wiped out... Kaku: Not that we were relying on them for anything... - Page 115 - Sanji: These are the guys who took Robin-chan away, aren't they? Franky: Look out, they pull some funky acrobatics. Nero: Uh... Ggh... Lucci: Who's this? Kaku: That would be the new CP9 member Corgi mentioned. Nero, the Four Forms user. Nero: Hahh. Dammit...!!! Hahh. Hahh... you're not gonna get away with this...!! They called me a brilliant fighter!! I don't care... I'll kill you. Lucci: ...hey, new kid. - Page 116 - Nero: ...oh... you must be Rob Lucci. I never got the chance to introduce myself...!! Hang on, let me kill him first... Lucci: Franky is to be taken alive. If you can't complete your objectives because your emotions are out of control... ...no, never mind. You have three seconds... so start running. Nero: Huh?! Lucci: 3... Nero: Start running...? From whom...? Lucci: 2... Nero: Wha... Wait! You've gotta be kidding!!! Lucci: 1. Nero: This is insanity!!! Lucci: "Soru"!!! (Shave) - Page 117 - Nero: Guaaa!!! Lucci: If you can't take anything seriously, you're not fit to be in CP9. We're "superhuman" because we have all Six Forms, boy... - Page 118 - Lucci: Califa. Califa: Yes? Lucci: Make sure to report to the commander: "The new member was too weak," "and ultimately unusable." Califa: Understood. Sanji: And these are supposed to be the good guys...? Franky: Can't tell WHO's the villian in this room... - Page 119 - Lucci: I suppose I don't need to ask why you're here... Judging by the way you open doors, you seem to be short on patience... Sanji: Yeah. I grew up rough. Lucci: If it's Nico Robin you want, forget about it. This matter is far over your heads. There are people in this world who bring such misfortune, that the world is better off without them... Say there was a "demon who would burn the world to ashes"... And the only one who could call forth that power was an innocent 8-year old girl... - Page 120 - Lucci: Wouldn't we all be better off if someone killed her before she could? Sanji: What's your point? Lucci: My point is that THAT has been the story of Nico Robin's life. She's turned into a criminal since... but that was just the way she started. For all her life, her very existence has been a "crime"!!! And she can only make others happy by disappearing. That is the misfortune she bears. - Page 121 - Lucci: Originally, she should have died 20 years ago, but thankfully, she's going to die before we're too late. Sanji: Knock it off, you bastard!!! You keep your mouth shut!!! Lucci: However, the government will spend the next few years gleaning every last drop of wisdom, experience and intellent from Nico Robin's mind. I'll leave it to your imaginations, just how much torture she'll endure before her death- Sanji: WE'RE NOT GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN!!!! Usopp: No, Robin, no, you can't go that way!! - Page 122 - Usopp: Ah- ah- Sanji: Robin-chan!!! Thank God, are you all right?! They didn't do anything to you, did they?!! I'm gonna crush these fools right now!! And this time we'll all go back together!! Usopp: Oh, good heavens!! Just when I'd craftily snuck around!! Just when we'd defeated the agent!! Franky: So that's Nico Robin... She does bear a resemblance to the posters... - Page 123 - Usopp: Huh- UEGHH!!! Sanji: Usopp!!! Robin-chan... why?!! Usopp: Ouch...!! Robin: If you won't LISTEN to me, how else can I make you understand...? Lucci: Ha ha ha... - Page 124 - Usopp: Franky-kun!! Release Car Number 3 at once!!! Franky: What are we doing?!! Usopp: ESCAPING!!! Franky: Escaping?! Kaku: Don't let Franky get away!! Blueno: Right. Sanji: Hey, what's the big idea? Usopp: Be prepared, it'll be over in an instant!!! "Soge King" "Smoke Star"!!! Franky: Whoa!! - Page 125 - Califa: Ah! Blueno: Cough! Kaku: What a childish trick...!!! Usopp: NICO ROBIN IS MINE!!!! Both: Yeaaah!!! Usopp: Now RUN!!! - Page 126 - Results from the 1st One Piece "Your Favorite Attack" Poll!!! #1, 3785 votes Monkey D. Luffy - Gomu Gomu Gatling Luffy takes first place!! Several opinions such as "amazing" and "powerful"! Bowling over the enemy with its overwhelming strength!! The Gomu Gomu Gatling received easily the most support of the many Gomu Gomu moves!!

Luffy's evolution never ends!! #2, 3635 votes Roronoa Zoro - San-zen-se-kai Zoro's most powerful attack doesn't give an inch!! But this close to #1, could it end up on top next time?! Many people called it "awesome!!" and its power is ultimate class!! Diligence is required on the road to be the world's strongest swordsman!! #3, 1445 votes Sanji - Mouton Shot Sanji, popular for his graceful legwork, takes third place with Mouton Shot!

Nami's Predictions Were on the Mark!! As I expected, Luffy took 1st place here, but with Zoro, Sanji and more unseen moves in the future, it's sure to be quite a battle!!
