Capítulo 121: Chapter 120
As soon as Luke's words fell, it instantly caused a worldwide uproar.
One-time authorization to use the ancient weapon Pluton?!
What does this mean?
This can be given as a reward too?!
Upon hearing these words, everyone was shocked.
What is the ancient weapon Pluton? It is a legendary powerful weapon that can sink an island with a single shot. It is said to possess the power to destroy the world.
This is not just a simple one-time authorization, but a one-time "Buster Call" that is far more terrifying than the "Ohara Incident." The Buster Call only involved ten warships bombing a target, resulting in the destruction of people and buildings.
However, after the Pluton bombards, nothing remains but emptiness. It is much more terrifying than Whitebeard sinking a Marine base. When a Marine base is sunk, timely rescue efforts can still save many survivors. But with Pluton, there would be nothing left.
The abyss of justice in Enies Lobby is a typical example of this.
What worried them even more was what would happen if Nico Robin obtained the authorization to use Pluton, even if it was just for one time. What if she aimed it at Marineford or Mariejois, where the World Government is located, as revenge for Ohara? The consequences would be unimaginable. The fact that she would have the authorization for one hour meant she could potentially fire multiple shots.
Marineford and the Five Elders in Mariejois had their expressions drastically changed. How could this be happening?! How was this even possible?! Pluton!
A more terrifying thought appeared in their minds. If Luke could distribute the authorization to use Pluton as a reward, did that mean Pluton was now... in Luke's hands?!
This thought struck fear into the hearts of the Five Elders and the Marine commanders.
This situation could be described as extremely dire. Luke was an enemy they had been trying to eliminate, but they cant even found Luke And now, this person held such a powerful weapon in his hands. If he desired, he could make Mariejois cease to exist.
This thought sent chills down their spines. What kind of enemy had they provoked?
But before they could even regret, the dilemma they were facing became the immediate problem they needed to confront.
Regardless, the World Government could not allow someone like Luke to exist. The World Government had to be and could only be the most powerful entity in the world. They must maintain control over this world. There was no doubt about it. The World Government continued for 800 years, expanding its influence. The entire world was gradually falling into the hands of the World Government. They could not allow themselves to be trampled upon now.
Luke had to be dealt with, but how to solve this problem was the biggest challenge they faced.
They needed to consider the issue of Luke more seriously.
Meanwhile, news of the possibility that Pluton was in Luke's hands spread throughout the world.
The various forces, including the pirates, the Revolutionary Army, and the allied kings who were planning to take action in Alabasta, were caught off guard by this news. If Pluton was in Lukes hands, what was the point of going to Alabasta? Besides capturing Nico Robin, what else could they gain? The poneglyph also became meaningless because it recorded the whereabouts of Pluton. If Pluton had already been found by Luke, obtaining the poneglyph would be like getting a treasure map that had already been found.
Many people immediately gave up the idea of going to Alabasta. It was not worth it to confront the World Government and the Marines for Nico Robin. They might even encounter high-ranking Marine officers, essentially walking into a deathtrap. Although they initially found it hard to believe that Pluton was in Luke's hands, everything that Luke had demonstrated so far made it impossible for them possible.
Crocodile, upon hearing this news, was dumbfounded and stood there as if he had lost his soul.
Pluton had already been found?
What had he been busy with all these years? He had worked so hard for something that had already been taken away. Crocodile couldn't help but laugh at his own ridiculous actions.
What was he even doing?!
Crocodile immediately wanted to leave this place of heartbreak.
Since Alabasta no longer had Pluton, there was no point in staying here. Moreover, if the Marines and the World Government's Cipher Pol agents arrived later, it would be troublesome to leave.
Crocodile was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Wait a minute.
Although Pluton had been found, there were still two other ancient weapons: Uranus and Poseidon.
If he could find one of them, he could still continue with his ambitions. The key to achieving this goal still lay with Nico Robin. Currently, she was the only one in the world who could decipher the Poneglyph...
And there was one more thing. If Robin chose the fourth reward, it meant she would have the authorization to use Pluton. If he could snatch it from her, it would be as if he himself had the power to use Pluton.
Crocodile squinted his eyes, hesitated, and decided not to move. He continued to wait for the end of the QnA broadcast.
Meanwhile, in another location, Spandam was also devastated, just like Crocodile.
He had hoped for a comeback with Pluton, but now it had been found by Luke, who had exposed his future disgrace. He couldn't believe his misfortune or the fact that he kept crossing paths with Luke, who ruined his prospects time and time again.
Now that Pluton was gone, only Nico Robin and Crocodile remained. If he could capture them, it would be considered an achievement.
Spandam made up his mind to capture them. It was his last chance to secure his position.
He had to seize it.
In the broadcast room, Robin was also taken aback by Rob Lucci's fourth reward.
Although she had no interest in Pluton, she understood the significance of obtaining a chance to use it: revenge!
However, that thought quickly disappeared from her mind.
She realized that she was participating in the QnA broadcast in front of people from all over the world, including the Five Elders and the Marines. If she chose Pluton, she would likely face pursuit from Marine Admirals and CP agents. They would go to such lengths to eliminate any potential threat.
It was too dangerous for her.
Innocent people would be harmed if she chose to possess Pluton.
It was easier to obtain Pluton than to keep it.
After considering her options, Robin chose the other two rewards.
"I choose the Constitution potion and the Spiritual potion," Robin said.
Robin's choice relieved many people and disappointed some. Some had hoped to snatch the authorization to use Pluton from her. Besides, who said it was only a one-time use? Once they had the item in their possession, couldn't they keep it?
Those who had entertained thoughts of seizing the opportunity could only sigh with regret.
"As you wish," Luke nodded. He then reached out his hand and pointed, causing two vials to appear on the table in front of Robin—an orange vial containing the Constitution potion and a blue vial containing the Spiritual potion.
Robin's heart raced when she saw the two vials on the table. She understood what she needed to do next.
She had to consume these two potions immediately; otherwise, if anyone had the thought that she still possessed them, she would be in endless trouble.
Without hesitation, Robin opened the bottles of the Constitution potion and the Spiritual potion, and drank them one after another.
Soon after drinking them, Robin felt a surge of power coursing through her body. Moreover, she noticed that her mind became incredibly clear and sharp. Her perception of her surroundings also became more acute, to the point where she could sense her surroundings even without using her eyes.
Robin immediately realized that this was the effect of the Spiritual potion. It would help awaken her Haki—Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and even Conqueror's Haki—and increase the intensity and quantity of her Haki.
With these enhancements, it meant that she finally had the power to stand up against Crocodile and those who were interested in claiming the bounty on her. She no longer had to be at the mercy of others and go with the flow.
She could finally try to take control of her own life and achieve her ideals with her own strength.
Robin clenched her fists excitedly and looked up at Luke, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Luke then turned his gaze to the audience in front of the screen.
"Now that the rewards have been distributed, it signifies that our broadcast is coming to an end," Luke said.
"Thank you all for watching. But before we conclude, since you all have heard so much about Pluton during this QnA broadcast, it would be a shame if I didn't show it to you."
With a wave of Luke's hand, the screen switched to another location. Everyone could clearly see that it was the room where Luke had appeared before. This time, a massive and magnificent battleship appeared in the room. The enormous cannons on the ship, even through the screen, exuded a powerful intimidation. The ship gleamed with a metallic sheen, resembling a dormant beast.
The broadcast disappeared with this final image.
Even after the screen went blank for a while, people still couldn't recover from the impact of the final image.
Although they had never seen Pluton, just one glance made them believe that if the ancient weapon Pluton truly existed in this world, this was it.
Pluton had indeed been found by Luke.
This news shocked countless people and filled many with fear and concern.
The most concerned group was undoubtedly the World Goverment. Luke really obtained Pluton.
This is a Worrisome news. They had truly provoked a formidable enemy, and now he possessed Pluton.
They could no longer sleep peacefully.
The anxious Five Elders quickly discussed countermeasures to address the threat posed by Luke.
From this day on, instead of having only one Marine Admiral stationed at Mariejois, there would now be two waiting there.
In addition, military ships patrolled and blockaded the area surrounding Mariejois, from the Marineford to Mariejois itself and the nearest branch in the New World. They were on high alert, preventing any unidentified ship from approaching Mariejois.
This was to avoid the sudden loss of their home one day.
Furthermore, the Five Elders intensified their search for Luke. Capturing Luke became the top priority for the Cipher Pol, to the point where even the Revolutionary Army, who had been a thorn in their side, took a back seat.
They would not have a moment of peace until Luke was dealt with.
