Chapter 419 - Legend of the Hero

 - Page 190 -

Soldiers: H... hey!!  Look at that!!!  I've never seen THAT before...!!
	You're right...  I've never even HEARD of it happening...!!!
	The Gate of Justice...
	is ALL THE WAY open...!!!
	It must be to let the battleships from Marine HQ in!!!
	It's for the Buster Call bombardment!!!

 - Page 191 -

Pauly: But old lady Cocoro said...
	That gate never opens all the way...!!

Family: What's with all this crazy tension?!  What the hell IS the Buster Call?!!
	They really ARE gonna blow up the Straw Hats along with this island,
	for declaring war on the world!!!
	Dammit!!!

Zambai: Don't die on us, Boss!!!

Galley-la: Come back alive!!
	Straw Haaaat!!!

Luffy: Hahh...
	I left Robin
	up to Franky...!!!
	Hahh.

Lucci: ...I was careless.
	...I never thought you'd command THIS much power.

 - Page 192 -

Lucci: But I see you're getting rather short of breath...!!

Luffy: Hahh.

Lucci: Is it because of all that steam?

Luffy: Zehh.
	As long as I beat you,
	it doesn't matter!!!

Lucci: I see...  Very tough.

Franky: Hahh.
	Hahh.
	Hahh...
	Gotta make it in time!!
	Don't leave yet, Nico Robin!!!

 - Page 193 -

[Final Section of the Bridge of Hesitation]

Marines: Gate Guards, come out!!
	Sir!
	The convoy ship is ready to leave at any moment!!!

[Convoy Ship Mooring]
[For Access to Marine HQ or Underwater Prison Impel Down]

Marines: Guards of the Gate of Justice!!
	Convoy Marines from Marine Headquarters!!
	At this moment, Cipher Pol No. 9 Chief Officer Spandam
	is escorting top-level criminals from the Judicial Tower
	across the bridge!
	All units in formation, salute!!!
	SIR!!!

 - Page 194 -

Spandam: Wahahahaha!!
	Look, the preparations to sail are complete!
	No one is left to stop us!!!
	I will let you in on a little secret, Nico Robin!
	As we were climbing that last staircase, I turned on
	the "landmines" set near the top...  Even IF...
	someone should try to follow us up those stairs,
	They'll just blow up!
	Isn't that great?

Robin: Hahh.

Spandam: Wahahaha, but don't worry about that.
	No one will be reaching the stairs anyways!!

Robin: ...hahh.
	But...
	Hahh.
	I won't go through the gate...!!!

Spandam: WHAT?!!

 - Page 195 -

Robin: Hahh.
	...he said...
	Hahh...
	He'd save me...!!!

Spandam: Nobody's coming for you, you retard!!!
	They're all going to die,
	in the cleansing flames of the Buster Call!!!
	The Buster Call will even destroy the shame
	of having our sacred flag burnt to pieces by pirates!!!
	Just like the case of that crazed giant Marine, twenty years ago in Ohara...!!

Robin: ...wha-

Spandam: Haha... now WALK!!!

Robin: {Sauro...?!!}

Spandam: Walk, on your own two legs!!!

 - Page 196 -

Spandam: Why you...!!

Robin: Aaah!!!

Marine: Chief, please hurry!!

Spandam: I know, hold your horses!!!
	I'm your hero, dammit!!!
	What... did you think I had no idea?!
	Of the shameful exploits of former Marine HQ Vice Admiral Haguar D. Sauro...!!
	I know EXACTLY what happened with your mother Olvia,
	back on Ohara!!!
	I heard all about it...!!!  Because the one who went forth into the land of demons, Ohara,
	exposed their crimes and gave the order for the Buster Call
	was the head of CP9 at the time!!
	MY FATHER, SPANDINE!!!

 - Page 197 -

<<Spandine: This will mean
	your executions!!!

<<Robin: Professor!!!

<<Spandine: Found ya!!!
	Evacuation Ship!!!  Don't let that little brat on board!!!

Spandam: Wahahaha...
	The government said that
	all the inhabitants of Ohara were killed.
	But they forget all about
	one little brat.
	How was it?
	Being an 8-year-old kid, nearly murdered
	countless times by adults after riches?
	Not being able to trust anyone you interacted with.
	Without a safe place to sleep...  Without food.
	I don't even want to imagine how shitty these 20 years have been.

 - Page 198 -

Spandam: Haha...!!  Terrible enough to make you cry?
	The one who put that price on your head,
	20 years ago,
	Was my old man!!!  Wahahaha!!!
	For the sake of world peace!!!
	And now, 20 years later...!!
	His son has hunted down that last survivor...
	To bring an end to the battle of Ohara!!
	Ohara has lost!!!

<<Sauro: You gotta be there to talk about this island's history someday, Robin!!
	Ohara fought back against the world!!!

Robin: I'M STILL ALIVE!!!!

Spandam: AND SOON YOU WILL BE DEAD!!!!

 - Page 199 -

Spandam: Aaah, what was that?!

Franky: Wha...

Spandam: C... Cutty Flam!!!
	The landmine...!!!  But why is HE-?!!
	Hahh...
	Aah... wahaha!!!
	But he fell into the trap!!  The fool!!!  The bloody foooool!!!

Robin: {He came to save me...!!}

Spandam: Well damn!!  It's a good thing I took extra precautions!!
	Let's hurry!!!  Come!!!

Robin: Aaugh!!
	{...I can't say it...!!}

Spandam: Let the ship loose, sailors!!  We'll JUMP on board!!!

Marines: Y... yes sir!
	Set sail!!!
	Sir!!!

Robin: {The tears of frustration won't stop coming.}

Spandam: Keep your eyes open!!  Don't miss this!!
	It is the first step of a hero
	whose name will be carved into history forevermo...

 - Pages 200 & 201 -

Spandam: POGABA!!!

 - Page 202 -

Spandam: HADEBARABOGEPYA!!!

Marines: CHIEF!!!
	What the?!!  Who did that?!!
	There's no one on the bridge!!!
	That can't be right!!  They're hiding somewhere!!!
	Look for them!!!
	HUH?!
	Uwaaah!!!
	Gyaaa!!

 - Page 203 -

Spandam: HEY!!!  What the hell is going on with all of you?!!

Marines: But Chief, we can't find the enemy!!!
	Ohwa!!
	Ah...
	There he is...

Robin: (sniff...)

Marine: Chief, over there!!

Spandam: Over WHERE?!!

Marine: On top of the Judiciary Tower...!!!

Spandam: Judiciary Tower?!!
	How can anyone do anything from way over THERE?!

Cape: (flap flap)

 - Pages 204 & 205 -

Spandam: WHO THE HELL IS THAT?!!
	He's been hitting us with bulls-eyes...

Soge King: (I was born, unto the Island of Snipers, perfect shot, looloo la la loooo)

Spandam: From THAT distance, WITH the wind?!!
	Who the hell is it?!

Robin: Long Nose-kun...!!

Sanji: Look at that!!  Holy crap, our sniper rocks!!!
	Eat shit, punks!!!  Run for it, Robin-chan!!!

Zoro: Does he really have to sing?

Spandam: YOU ACCURSED-!!!
	Gwahh!!

Marines: Chief!!!

Spandam: What the hell are you idiots doing?!!  Shoot him down!!!

Marines: We're trying, but our bullets don't go that far, and we'll never hit him...!!!
	That sniper's REALLY good!!!
	Nico Robin's getting away!!!

Spandam: Don't let her go, you fools!!!  Fire on her!!  Shoot her dead,
	but don't kill her!!!

Marines: HUH?!!

 - Page 206 -

Spandam: FIRE!!!

Marines: Wha!!!
	Huh?!!
	What the-?!!

Bullets: (cling clang)

Franky: Hahh.
	Hahh.

Marine: Who's HE?!!

Robin: ...why, you-

Franky: I'm fine.  My steel's tough.
	That better be the last of the landmines, Spanda.

Spandam: Eek!!

 - Page 207 -

Soge King: Franky-kun, Franky-kun.
	This is Soge King.

Franky: Huh?
	Wait?  How are you speaking through this Baby Phone Snail...

Soge King: I have received it from Nami!  Anyways,
	in your area you should find a red cloth bundle.

Franky: Ohh... I see it.

Soge King: There are two keys inside.  Combined with yours,
	that should make the entire set of them!!

Spandam: ALL the keys?!!

Soge King: The payload has been delivered.

Sanji: Mission accomplished.

Zoro: Time to hurry.
	It's gonna get hectic.

Soge King's Commentary
This time, Usopp-kun has allowed me to take the stand.  3 of our newest enemy CP9 have cracked
the top 20.  But centered around Usopp-kun, the Straw Hat Crew takes full command of the top!!
Very well done, Usopp-kun and friends.  You won't be able to take your eyes off them!!

There's still more rankings!  Next page is ranks 31-50, followed by the 51-99 that we didn't
print in the magazine results!!
