章節 31: -All the fights are over

The fights the straw hats had happened just like in the anime, with one exception being Nami fighting with Nojiko against their opponent. Even while Ian was fighting, he was still able to check occasionally on how the other's fights were going.

Sanji fought and won against Jabra the third strongest member of CP9, who ate the Inu-Inu no Mi, Model: Wolf, a Zoan-class Devil Fruit which gives him the power to change into a full wolf form and a human-wolf hybrid that resembles a werewolf. Chopper also fought and won against Kumadori, who although didn't eat a devil fruit, was still powerful as a master of the Six powers, and 'Life Return'. Albeit he only won as he lost control and transformed into his monster point.

Zoro fought against Kaku who ate the Ushi-Ushi no Mi, Model: Giraffe, a Zoan class Devil Fruit given by his boss, Spandam, which allows him to transform into a giraffe-human hybrid and a full giraffe. And even if he had only recently ate the fruit, apparently he still proved a hard opponent for Zoro. Franky's fight against Fukurou went just like in the anime too.

Meanwhile Nami and her sister Nojiko both fought against Kalifa who ate the Awa-Awa no Mi, which is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to generate bubbles to "clean" the strength off her opponents. She can also shield herself from attacks by condensing these bubbles into a giant bar of "soap armor". However, the effect of the devil fruit can be washed away with water. Nami and her sister proved to be good at fighting together, with one attacking with the staff and the other providing backup in the form of a gun's bullets. Although the fight was a bit hard for them, it proved to be easier than in the anime.

Ian as he looked at Robin, he noticed how she had her eyes closed. He knew what must be on her mind. As such he did not bother her for now. Even if he wanted to ask her to join him once again he still knew what time to choose.

After a while, the straw hats, except their captain, all got back to the top of the tower, and Ian made a platform for them with his telekinesis to help them cross back to the courthouse. When they all did so they came closer with Nami and Nojiko presenting the keys to the Seastone handcuffs, before they all noticed that robin was already free.

Nami stepped forward and asked.

"Robin, did you already find a similar key? Was there not just one key to open the cuffs?" she asked in a confused way.

"Truthfully, Ian was capable of opening the cuffs at the very beginning. He just did not did so." Robin said.

All of them had various degrees of injuries, with chopper being unable to move.

Therefore when they heard this they all glared at Ian.

"Why? Just why did you make us go through all of that then?" Nami, Usopp, and chopper all yelled at the same time.

But Ian only turned to look at towards Robin.

As such she added, with a sigh.

"He did it for your sake. He did not want to interfere in your fights, to let you grow even stronger, or so he said. Along your journey you would go through many more fights, ones even harder than this one. Therefore he told me that he had to give you some motivation for you to go fight. Plus Luffy was set on fighting Rob Lucci. If he was not here you would still get through these fights on your own right?" Robin asked them.

They all gave a nod. However Nami still wanted to say something, but Sanji spoke first.

"Nami, she is right. This is our fight. And as much as I want to disagree, with no motivation, like to save Robin, we would not fight our all. Not to mention, our captain would have fought anyways…" Sanji said.

"That's right, just like Eyebrows said." Zoro gave a nod, but didn't forget to throw a jab at Sanji.

"What was that moss-head? Want to fight?" Sanji immediately fumed and rushed at Zoro with a kick that he guarded with the sheath of his swords. But the rest only ignored them as they thought about what robin said.

The rest of the crew finally settled down and breathed a sigh.

Then Ian, used his telekinesis to bring Luffy through the hole in the wall made by Ian punching Rob Lucci at the beginning.

When he set him down, the crew threw thankful looks at him but he only shook his head indicating that it was fine. While this was happening suddenly, cannon balls rounds were heard by the people there which perplexed them.

Ian suddenly spoke.

"There are around five people as strong as this guy, and a fleet of ten ships ready to open fire on this island." He said as he pointed at Master Rey who he took down. HE was confident enough to take all five of them back then when he was only at vice admiral rank, not to mention now that he was even stronger.

'Still, i have to meet an admiral to see if i'm as strong as them...' He thought to himself.

Robin, knew that Spandam had a golden Den-Den mushi, that was capable of initiating, The Buster Call. It is the ultimate form of military attack used by the Marines. It is a result of the Marine doctrine of Absolute Justice. It was said that a Buster Call is equal to an entire nation's military.

As such when she heard that she was shocked, and scared.

"T-That's the buster call. It must have been triggered by Spandam…" Robin muttered while her eyes were unfocused.

Nami asked her what this buster call is.

"What is that Robin, can you explain?" Nami said.

"It's a call that calls forth five vice admirals, and a fleet of ten ships, to bombard a location, only leaving ashes behind. That was what the marines did to my home island. Now nothing remains from it." Robin said weakly, with tears in her eyes. She was feeling scared as she remembered what happened to her island. And even more so as she thought her friends were implicated because of her.

Nami moved to hug her, as she said.

"Can't it be cancelled? After all this island is full of marine soldiers' right?" Nami said.

But Robin shook her head.

"It can't. Once initiated, it will not stop until it turns this island to ashes and dust."

Ian gave a nod.

"Indeed. However there is no need to fret about it this so much Robin. Apparently a friend of yours has come to help you all." Ian said with a smile contrary to the pale faces of the straw hats.

When they all looked at him perplexed suddenly all of them heard a voice speak to them.

Ian pointed below at the sea, and they saw it there. The ship that accompanied them on their journey but was unable to do so anymore. It came on its own to save them. They had thought that it was destroyed.

It had developed a Klabautermann which is said to be a water spirit (or fairy) that dwells on ships and is basically an incarnation of a ship that has been well cared for. It is a merry and diligent creature that is said to warn sailors when a ship's in danger and help in bigger ways sometimes. They are normally considered to be only a legend among seafarers, but Ian was surprised as much as he was surprised in the anime when he first saw it.

He watched as the crew smiled between each other's with teary eyes.

Before they gave each other a nod and jumped to the sea with Zoro carrying Luffy. Including Robin, and Franky. They all boarded the ship. So Ian made a decision and jumped with them too.

And soon the warships of the buster call, started releasing fire. Making all the crew members capable of fighting get ready to defend. But Ian at this time spoke.

"You guys, uhm, you are injured so just rest, and leave this to me." He said, as he made his way to the back of the ship and stood waiting.

They shared a look between each other and looked at Robin who gave a nod. Before finally they chose to trust him.

When the cannon balls were about to hit the ship, they were suddenly stopped and suspended in the air, before changing directions back to the marines. Once the gate of justice closed, due to Sanji, and the ship ran a distance away, Nami told Franky to use something. Which led to him standing at the rear.

"You might want to hold on to something you guys. 'Coup de vent'" Franky connects his arms with a T-shaped pipe and sends a powerful blast of concentrated air out that propelled the ship in the air at a massive speed, making the marines that were looking think the ship is flying. Ian helped the ship to go a bit of distance away than it was supposed to, and was also prepared to soften the blow for when it lands.
