Miss Golden Week's Operation: Meet Baroque Vol.18 "The Figure of a Man Escaping Kyuuka Island"

 - Page 2 -

Soldiers: Hey, what's goin' on down there...?!
	Here it comes!!!
	Uwaaahh!!!

 - Page 3 -

Zambai: Pump 'em fulla lead!!!
	Fire, fire, fire!!!

Soldiers: Dammit!!  These must be-
	the pirates who broke through the Island Gate!!
	Uwaaaah!!

Sanji: Hey, this is actually pretty nice!!!
	Take us all the way to Luffy, King Bull!!

[Enies Lobby, "Tower of Justice"]

Franky: NNNN!!!
	AAGH!!!

Spandam: So... it seems your personality has not changed a blink since then,
	Cutty Flam...
	If I had known you were alive and in possession of the plans earlier,
	things would have been so much easier on me...
	Dragging you in here for your past crimes
	would have been SO EASY!!!

 - Page 5 -

Spandam: In comparison,
	your elder apprentice friend Iceburg was a much tougher nut to crack.
	After Tom's death,
	he gathered all of the shipyards in Water Seven under his command,
	and created an enormous company...
	He came to the very World Government he should have despised,
	and earned his company prestige as a special government-contracted organization.
	The president of the shipbuilding Galley-la Company,
	and the mayor of Water Seven, the Water Metropolis!!
	Once he was supported by all and became invaluable to the government,
	we were no longer able to do as we pleased with him...!!

 - Page 6 -

<<Franky: More importantly, I hear you're taking jobs from the world government!!!
	What the hell is that?!!

Franky: {So that's why he made a deal with them...!!}

Spandam: He WAS a very clever man.
	Wahahaha!!
	But the winds of fortune are blowing my way...!!
	Just when I was about to break out of a funk and start taking action,
	I received a most auspicious report from Admiral Aokiji.
	The one and only Nico Robin was on a pirate ship,
	heading for Water Seven!!!

 - Page 7 -

Spandam: I drank a cup of coffee to steady my nerves,
	and then assembled all of the circumstances, including the ability to enact a Buster Call, into a plan!!!
	The scenario did change somewhat along the way... but look!!!
	Both triggers to the revival of the Ancient Weapons are right here!!
	Don't you see?!!  All the luck in the world is blowing my way right now!!!
	Right now, I hold the power to rule any country in the world, if I so desire!!!

Robin: Why did Aokiji
	give you the authority to make a Buster Call...?

Spandam: HUH??

 - Page 8 -

Spandam: DON'T YOU DARE QUESTION ME!!!
	YOU WRETCHED WENCH!!!

Robin: Aaah!!!

Spandam: Wah hah hah!!!
	Filthy descendant of the land of demons, Ohara!!
	If I had not seen the potential in your existence, it would now amount to "nothing"!!!
	You ought to be GRATEFUL!!!

 - Page 9 -

Spandam: You will experience pain that will make you wish you could die several times over...
	Be prepared...
	I will HURT you...!!
	USE you...!!
	And THROW YOU INTO THE SEA when I'm done!!!  That is how much sin you are worth!!!
	Wahahaha...  oh, yes...
	Some idiots just came, trying to take you away.

Robin: You mean...?!

Spandam: But I'm sure they've all been seized by now...!!
	"Straw Hat Luffy" and his band of miscreants...!!
	It seems they were worthless before the might of Enies Lobby's 10,000-man garrison!!!
	Time to bust out a ship to take them to prison, I guess.
	I'll send them all straight to Impel Down.

 - Page 10 -

Robin: WAIT...  THIS ISN'T WHAT YOU PROMISED!!!!
	My terms for cooperating with you were that you let them escape safely!!!

Spandam: What's all this fuss for...
	...Lucci, state the precise terms of the agreement.

Lucci: "For the six members of the Straw Hat Crew, excluding Nico Robin, to leave Water Seven unharmed."

Spandam: Yes... that's right.
	They left Water Seven perfectly unmolested...
	And came HERE, didn't they?!

 - Page 11 -

Robin: ...what...?!!
	You're not going to break our agreement over a distortion like that, are you...?!!

Franky: ...I told you, they're a bunch of scummy, low-down assholes.
	Not the slightest shred of honor in 'em.

Spandam: What?
	SILENCE, you WORMS!!!
	What compels us to honor promises made with CRIMINALS like yourselves?!!
	NOTHING!!!
	Tricking pirates in order to capture them
	is part and parcel of being in the Marines!!!

Robin: Hahh...
	...hahh...  COWARDS... hahh...
	Cough...

Spandam: Don't assume you'll get to freedom to choose a romantic death, after you spent your life betraying others, woman...!!
	Hahahaha...

 - Page 12 -

Spandam: Waaahahahahahaha!!!
	You can die together...
	Everything is powerless before the might of justice.

Luffy: MOVE IT!!!!

Soldiers: GYAAAAA!!!

 - Page 13 -

Soldiers: Eeeeek!!!  Eeeeek!!!
	Commander!!  I can't take it, he's too scary!!!
	Don't retreat, you bloody fools!!!
	UGYAAAAAA!!!

Luffy: Outta my way!!!
	Hahh... that looks like a dead end up ahead!!!
	Don't let them take you away yet, Robin!!!

 - Page 14 -

Blueno: The Straw Hats have appeared?

Fukuro: {Yeah, we got the word earlier.  Chapapapa.
	Chief was so freaked out it was embarassing...
	But they said there were only five casualties.}

Blueno: {The receiver's off the hook.}

Spandam: Now, soldiers!!  Chain these two up!!
	Do not undo Nico Robin's Sea Tower Stone shackles under any circumstances.
	Send Cutty Flam to Impel Down, and Nico Robin to Marine Headquarters.
	Once the escort ships are ready, we will leave through the Gate of Justice!!!
	CP9, retire to your rooms and enjoy a break.
	We'll have a drink on the ship to celebrate
	the incredible status CP9 will be showered with after this turn of events!!

 - Page 15 -

Lucci: I'm not in the mood for celebration.
	I have no interest in status or authority...

Spandam: What?!

Lucci: Our justice lies within the World Government.
	So long as the government appoints you the chief of CP9,
	we are required to see our duties to completion!!
	But we are not required to agree with your philosophy.

Spandam: Technically, you're right... so what is it that you want?!!

Lucci: BLOOD.
	So long as we're HERE,
	even murder is justified.

 - Page 16 -

Spandam: {I feel a chill...  This is surely
	the government's only true "band of assassins"!!!}

Lucci: Hehe...

Spandam: {What trustworthy fellows to have on one's side...!!!}
	Hahaha...
	{Nobody can possibly defeat me now!!!}

[Main Island, Before the Courthouse]

Soldiers: We've lost sight
	of Straw Hat Luffy!!
	That can't be possible!!!
	How many men do we have here?!
	But still, he's totally...
	What about inside the courthouse?!!
	No, not in there!!
	Search for him!!!
	You must find him!!!

Luffy: Humph.
	Whew.
	So that
	is the last building.

 - Pages 18 & 19 -

Luffy: But there's no way to get there!!
	Huh?
	What the??

Blueno: "Air Door."

Luffy: Aha!  You're the cow who was with the pigeon guy!!

Blueno: It seems our intelligence is out of touch with the reality of the situation.

Luffy: Wow, how did you do that?!  Was it a magic trick?!

Blueno: I THOUGHT five sounded like an unlikely number of casualties...

Luffy: Man, that spooked me.

Blueno: This is unheard of, in the history of the World Government...
	A man has charged all the way to the doorstep of the government...!!!
	How long do you plan to continue this struggle?

Luffy: Until death!!!
