Chapter 313 Demon-Slaying Order



Chapter 313 Demon-Slaying Order

"So the purpose of CP9 doing this mission is to get it?" Qi was also a little surprised.

"Don't you know your purpose? Stop pretending in front of me!" Aspagu sneered. Are you still pretending in front of him at this time?

"Let me correct you. We are not from the World Government." Qi took off his mask. "We are the Straw Hat Pirates. We really didn't know that CP9's target was Pluto's design."

"It's ridiculous that you help them without even knowing this!" Aspagu said sarcastically.

"Now that the World Government knows about the existence of the blueprint, I should have burned it long ago. But the reason I didn't do it is because of you... Nico Robin! As long as you are still alive, there is a possibility that the weapon can be resurrected!"

"The person who entrusted me with the design was my master Tom. He has always been worried about the only girl who survived the O'Hara incident!"

"Because she is so young, but she has the same thoughts as the demons in O'Hara. She will definitely cause endless harm in the future. Therefore... as the one who inherited the will of the creator, it is my responsibility to stop you!!"

"Is that what you wanted to say before you die?" Robin pointed a gun at Aspagu with a gloomy look on his face. "What I want to tell you is... Even if you kill me now, the design has been taken away, and the result will still be the same!"

"Haha, yes, let me say it again, it's actually you who fell into the trap!"

Just then, the Den Den Mushi on Robin started chirping.

"It's me. Something unexpected has happened to the plan. Everyone, gather in the bedroom immediately. Don't kill Aspagu for now!"

"Do you understand? Nico Robin!" Aspagu took a breath and said, "The design drawings you stole are fake!"

"Luffy is here." Qi said suddenly.

Robin looked at Qi and frowned, then turned to look at Aspagu who was still chattering, saying that she was doing it for the original historical text. How could she possibly help the culprit for this reason!

"I'm not looking for historical texts in order to revive weapons! I just want to understand history!" Robin interrupted with a frown.

"Don't try to make excuses! To harm someone doesn't necessarily mean to have bad intentions. If your interest in history is going to lead to the destruction of the world, you should die here!! Nico Robin!"

"Shut up!! No one deserves to die!" Qi interrupted Aspagu harshly.

"Why do you impose such a false accusation on Robin and make wild guesses?"

"Are you saying that all people who possess great power should perish? There are many people in this world who possess great power, and there are even many who are so powerful that they can destroy an island at will."

"I can also say that you, who have had the design of Pluto for a long time, are probably the person who is most familiar with Pluto. It is entirely possible that you have the ability to create Pluto. According to your logic, wouldn't it be more likely that you would make Pluto a weapon in the hands of the World Government?"

"Even if I die, I will never help the World Government, and I will never hand over the Pluto design!" Aspagu said angrily to Qi, "But Nico Robin still wanted to trace history even after witnessing the fate of the Ohara demons! And she became an accomplice of the World Government for the sake of the historical text!!"

"Shut up! How much do you know about O'Hara?" Robin glared at Aspago and shouted angrily, "Do you know that the World Government has ruined my life!?"

"Since you hate the World Government so much, why are you helping them!?" Aspagu retorted angrily.

"Because I have a wish that I must fulfill at all costs..." Robin turned around, slightly tilted his head to glance at Qi, and calmed down.

Qi watched Robin calm down as well, and finally sighed, "Don't think about it, I won't leave no matter what, and even if I wanted to, CP9 wouldn't let me leave now. Next, I will go to Judicial Island with you."

"Judicial Island? Ahem..." Aspagu looked at them in disbelief. "You guys..."

"Why!?" Robin looked at Qi in disbelief. "Is this the deal you made with them?"

"Yes, because you are going." Qi calmly looked at Robin, "I hope you can ask the crew for help. This is why I am here."

"You're such a fool..." Robin covered her eyes with her hands. She knew he was serious. "I don't want you to be in danger..."

"It's not just because of you." Qi soothed, trying to ease her anxiety. "That CP9 seems to be very familiar with Lucci. I made this decision because of that."

Covering his eyes tightly, his vision fell into darkness for a short time. Robin was silent for a long time, and finally sighed cautiously, and made up his mind in an instant, "Do you know the Demon Killing Order?"

"Demon-slaying order?" Qi repeated.

"It is an emergency order that can mobilize five vice admirals and ten warships from the Navy Headquarters. That is a national war-level military force! Once issued, they will carry out indiscriminate bombing attacks on the target until it completely destroys the area where the signal was sent."

"Originally, this was an authority that only the three admirals and the navy marshal could exercise, but CP9 obtained the right to launch it once through Admiral Aokiji! They threatened that if I didn't go with them, they would launch a demon-killing order against us in the Seven Water Capital!"

"So that's why you went with them." Qi asked.

"In this town, CP9 gave me two conditions. One is to cooperate with their mission and pin the blame of the assassination on the Straw Hat Pirates. The other is that from now on I will be dealt with by the World Government." Robin continued to explain.

"Why don't you run away?" Aspagu looked at Nico Robin in confusion. How could such a threat threaten someone who had been on the run from the World Government for 20 years? "You've been on the run for 20 years, haven't you? Why would you accept such conditions!?"

"I could always get away with anything in the past because I was alone... I could betray others or use them as a shield, but now I really can't do that!"

"They took me in and trusted me without reservation when I had lost my dreams for the future and was in despair..."

"So your wish is..." Aspago stared at Nico Robin, and he himself didn't know what kind of answer he wanted.

"Except for me." Robin said firmly, "All seven members of the Straw Hat Pirates left the island safely!"

"In order to achieve this goal, you are willing to do anything, even if it means awakening ancient weapons and causing the destruction of the world!?" Aspago shouted excitedly.

"Yes!" Robin said without hesitation.

Aspagu looked at Nico Robin in disbelief. He simply couldn't imagine that a woman who had lived in darkness for 20 years would actually sacrifice herself for her companions, even if it meant the destruction of the world.

"Hey, are you ignoring us?" Qi looked at Robin with a serious expression. "We are partners! You can think of sacrificing yourself for us, so how can you think that we can't risk our lives for you? No matter what, we will not let you leave alone."
