Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece.

Robin was well aware of the World Government's methods and understood that with the Galleyra Corporation and Dock One already sensing something amiss, taking rash action would only worsen the situation. She could disregard her own safety, but she couldn't burden her loyal companions.

Seeing that Robin and Artoria completely ignored them and even whispered to each other as if no one else was around, the CP5 agents' expressions instantly turned even more grim. The lead agent stepped forward, his tone extremely sinister, and issued the most ruthless threat: "Nicole Robin, don't push your luck! Where do you think you can run to? If you don't cooperate, we will immediately request our superiors to issue a Buster Call and turn this Water Seven, along with everyone around you, to ashes!"

Artoria's eyes grew even colder, and she gripped her sword tighter and tighter. If Robin hadn't been holding her arm so firmly, she would have already drawn her sword.

Ignoring the noisy agents, the two took Artoria's arm and quickly walked past the three blocking their way, heading towards Dock One.

"Let the captain decide..."

Robin is completely unwilling to drag everyone into such a dangerous situation as going against the World Government without everyone's approval.

The CP5 agents behind them watched the two leave, but dared not stop them. The woman beside Nico Robin gave off a very dangerous vibe. They could only grit their teeth and growl, "Just you wait! Nico Robin, and all those people with you, we will capture you all and take you to Enies Lobby to face trial by the World Government! None of you will escape!"

Leaving the piercing threats behind, Robin led Artoria quickly through the crisscrossing waterways and streets of Water Seven, heading towards Dock One.

As Robin approached the dock entrance, the clanging and hammering sounds reached her ears again. She saw Shiraha standing by the shipyard, discussing the details of the ship's modification with the craftsman Kagen. Matsumoto Rangiku was also leaning against the side, idly playing with her hair. Robin's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

She released Artoria's arm, quickly walked to Bai Yu's side, and told him everything that had just happened, word by word: "Bai Yu, when Artoria and I were walking on the street just now, we encountered CP5 agents from the World Government... They found me and asked me to come with them. They even threatened that if I didn't cooperate, they would apply for a Buster Call."

When she spoke the words "Demon Slayer Order," her voice noticeably lowered, her hands clenched tightly at her sides, her knuckles turning white, and deep in her eyes was an inescapable fear and helplessness.

That was a nightmare she could never escape in her life, the root cause of her ten years of wandering alone. Now that it was brought up again, it could still easily shatter all her strength.

She wasn't afraid of secret agents, but the Buster Call...

Artoria followed closely behind, her eyes filled with confusion and anger. She looked at Bai Yu and added earnestly, "Those guys were extremely rude and full of malice. Robin was terrified just now. I originally wanted to take care of them directly, but Robin stopped me. I don't understand, what is the Buster Call? Why does Robin look so terrified just from hearing that word? If they dare to harass us again, I will show no mercy."

Her tone was firm, carrying the protectiveness and decisiveness of a knight king. The coldness around her had not yet dissipated, clearly indicating that she was still bothered by the threat posed by the CP5 agent earlier.

Upon hearing their words, Bai Yu's gentle expression instantly darkened, his eyes sharpened like knives, and his aura turned icy.

He looked at Robin, who was pale-faced, and without hesitation, stepped forward, gently patted her shoulder, and said in the most steady and reassuring voice, "Don't be afraid, Robin, I'm here, Rangiku is here, Artoria is here, Hana is here, and Kanna is here. Have you forgotten our great strength!"

Rangiku Matsumoto, who was standing nearby, also put away her lazy smile, stood up and walked to Robin's side, took her other arm, and her eyes were full of protectiveness and sharpness: "How dare a little CP be so presumptuous? Do you really think we have no one left? Robin, don't worry, whether it's the Buster Call or CP9 or CP5, if they dare to provoke us, we will make sure they don't leave alive."

Robin felt the warmth and strength emanating from the two people beside him. He looked up at Bai Yu's determined eyes, and the shadow of fear that had been hanging over his heart was finally pierced by a glimmer of light. His tense body slowly relaxed, and he nodded vigorously.

"Let's get rid of Robin's fear of the Buster Call this time."

The sound of hammers and chisels in Dock No. 1 never ceases, and the crisp sound of steel colliding with wood echoes on the water, becoming the most solid pulse of Water City.

Bai Yu and his companions remained deep in the dock, finalizing every detail of the modifications with Carrera's top craftsmen. From reinforcing the keel and applying a storm-resistant coating to concealed weapon compartments and high-speed seastone buffer devices, every aspect was meticulously crafted to meet the highest survival standards of the New World, leaving no room for negligence.

Although Retsu Unohana is not an expert in shipbuilding, she can sense and detect potential problems in the ship's structure. Occasionally, she will offer a few gentle tips that always hit the nail on the head, which amazes the supervisor of the card frame. The supervisor looks at this gentle woman with more awe.

The craftsmen admired most those who could point out their mistakes.

The ship's conversion is progressing smoothly. The massive slipway is partially covered by a waterproof tarpaulin. Craftsmen work in shifts, their sweat dripping onto the scorching steel plates and rising into white mist. The original ship's outline is being dismantled and reshaped little by little.

Outside the dock, shadows had already begun to creep in.

CP5 agents did not leave. Like rats in the gutter, they hid in the waterways, alleys, rooftops, and even disguised themselves as merchants and craftsmen in Water Seven, keeping a close watch on the entrances and exits of Dock One. Every person entering and leaving was recorded by them, and Nico Robin's whereabouts were marked with special attention. The intelligence was sent to the World Government headquarters in encrypted form.

They dared not approach the dock easily. Nico Robin's companions instilled fear in these agents from the bottom of their hearts. They could only keep a close watch from a distance, waiting for the next instructions from their superiors, while secretly contacting other spies lurking in Water Seven, trying to find out the details of Bai Yu's group.

When Matsumoto Rangiku returned from the amusement park with Kanna once again, she immediately noticed the spying.

She held Kanna, who was munching on a cotton candy, with a lazy smile still on her face. Her fingertips lightly brushed the hilt of the Zanpakuto at her waist, silently noting down the gazes that were watching them. She then turned and told Bai Yu what had happened.

"So you're not planning to let this go so easily."

Bai Yu leaned against the wooden piles in the dock, gazing at the shimmering reflection on the water, a cold smile curving his lips. "Perfect timing. I also want to do something big, to completely erase Robin's past fears."

Chapter 142 Judiciary Island

Night quietly enveloped Water Seven, and the bustling docks of the day gradually quieted down, with only the murmuring of the flowing water in the waterways mingling with the anxious atmosphere of the CP5 agents lurking in the shadows.

After learning of the spying from the shadows, Bai Yu immediately took action after formulating his plan.

The three-tomoe Sharingan slowly rotated in his eyes, and an eerie red light instantly pierced through the night, locking onto all the CP5 agents hiding behind cargo boxes by the waterway and in the shadows of the rooftops.

Before the agents could react, the hypnotic power of the Sharingan instantly enveloped everyone's minds. Every agent who saw the Sharingan felt a blur before their eyes, and their consciousness completely fell into chaos, frozen in place like puppets, completely controlled by Bai Yu's will.

"Bring your ships over here."

Bai Yu spoke calmly, but gave the order directly.

The hypnotized CP5 agents bowed and accepted the order without hesitation. A moment later, they drove a black speedboat bearing the World Government's insignia to the side gate of Dock One. This boat was specially built for CP agents to carry out secret missions. It was extremely fast and had exclusive passage privileges for the Navy, allowing it to sail unimpeded to Enies Lobby.

Robin stood on the dock steps, staring at the scene before her with shock in her eyes and a barely perceptible tremor in her voice: "Bai Yu, are we really going to take CP's ship? Are we really going to Enies Lobby?"

The shadow of the Buster Call still lingered in her heart. Enies Lobby was a place of direct trial by the World Government, the burial place of all rebels. Just hearing those words reminded her of the destruction of Ohara, of the endless gunfire and the desperate cries.

At this moment, Artoria gripped Excalibur at her waist, toying with the Zanpakuto's lanyard. Retsu Unohana stood gently beside Robin, patting her back to comfort her. Kanna, with a lollipop in her mouth, gazed curiously at the black speedboat in front of her. Her companions were all ready.

Bai Yu looked directly at Robin's tense face, gently brushing away the fear between her brows. His three-tomoe Sharingan had returned to its usual dark color, his gaze gentle yet incredibly firm.

He took Robin's hand and slowly walked onto the CP-dedicated speedboat. After everyone was on board, the hypnotized agents immediately and skillfully untied the mooring ropes, started the engine, and the speedboat cut through the water like an arrow, speeding towards the sea outside Water Seven.

The salty sea breeze ruffled Robin's hair as she leaned against the ship's railing, watching Water Seven recede into the distance, her heart still pounding wildly.

Bai Yu walked to her side and stood shoulder to shoulder with her. His voice was steady and clear, and each word entered her ears amidst the sound of the waves.

“Robin, although you are no longer afraid of those World Government agents, you are still terrified of the Buster Call. In fact, the Buster Call that you are afraid of is not as scary as you think.”

Bai Yu gazed at the churning sea, his tone as relaxed as if he were discussing everyday matters.

"The so-called Buster Call is nothing more than five senior vice admirals and ten standard naval warships deployed by the World Government. Vice admiral-level combat power cannot even put up a decent fight against us. You have to believe in us. This time, we will shatter your inner fears."

Bai Yu paused, reached out and grasped Robin's slightly cold hand, and continued, "Even if a Marine Admiral personally blocks our path, we will not be afraid in the slightest. Have you forgotten our strength? We are not those guys you encountered in the past who could only make you escape alone. We have enough power to protect you and all of us. You don't need to hide anymore, you don't need to be afraid anymore, and you don't need to choose to leave alone so as not to burden others. The Buster Call was able to destroy Ohara because Ohara only had scholars and no combat power, but we are different. Our fists are harder than the firepower of the Buster Call."

Robin stared blankly at Bai Yu, listening to him casually dissect her. The fears that kept her up at night and made her wander alone for ten years were, in Bai Yu's eyes, just trivial troubles.

Artoria stood at the bow of the ship, her golden hair fluttering in the sea breeze. The King of Knights' eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Robin, do not be afraid. Anyone who dares to harm you will be cut down by my sword. Neither the Buster Call nor Enies Lobby can become a shackle to bind you."

"Yes, Robin, to the strong, this is just a little trick of the World Government. When we get to Enies Lobby, we'll just destroy their stronghold and make them never dare to threaten you with the Buster Call again. Do you know that those guys are doing their best to maintain the balance of this sea?"

The speedboat sped across the sea, using the exclusive privileges of a World Government CP agent to evade all naval patrol ships and pass unimpeded through the edge of the Calm Belt, heading straight for Enies Lobby in the middle of the ocean.

As you look into the distance, the outline of Enies Lobby gradually comes into view. It is an isolated island built on a cliff of a giant waterfall. The entire island is covered with buildings constructed of steel and boulders. The black Judgment Tower pierces the sky. The island is surrounded by endless swirling currents. It is known as the World Government’s directly controlled territory that will never fall. It is connected to the outside world only by a narrow bridge called the Gate of Justice. The island is heavily guarded by naval soldiers and agents of the CP organization. It is a place of intense security and murderous intent. It is the ultimate prison for all those wanted by the World Government.

The ship, following the ocean current, slowly approached the Gate of Justice checkpoint on the outskirts of Enies Lobby. When the naval soldiers at the checkpoint saw the speedboat with the CP insignia, they immediately lowered their guard and waved to signal it to pass.

The CP5 agent, hypnotized by Bai Yu, sat in the driver's seat and showed his agent identification at the opportune moment without arousing any suspicion.

The steel-cast Gate of Justice slowly opened with a dull thud. Chuanzhi passed through the gate and sailed straight into the inner harbor of Enies Lobby.

The ship beneath our feet was steadily docked at the pier of Enies Lobby. The cold stone pavement exuded a grim atmosphere. Naval soldiers with weapons could be seen patrolling everywhere. The lookouts on the high towers kept a close watch on all directions. The air was filled with a sense of oppressive authority and bloodshed.

Bai Yu, holding Robin's hand, stepped off the speedboat first, followed closely by Artoria, Matsumoto Rangiku, Unohana Retsu, and Kanna. The group walked leisurely, ignoring the Navy and agents passing by, and headed straight for the Judgment Tower in the center of Enies Lobby.

The hypnotized CP5 agents followed behind like puppets, and not a single naval soldier noticed anything amiss, nor did anyone dare to stop this team that was flying the CP5 flag.

Robin stood on the land of Enies Lobby, feeling no fear as she had imagined, only warmth and strength emanating from her.

Chapter 143 Spandam

Enies Lobby, known as the city that never falls and never sleeps, boasts a towering Judgment Tower constructed entirely of cold, black stone and steel. The World Government emblem embedded at the top of the tower exudes a suffocating sense of oppression under the lights. Fully armed naval soldiers patrol every passageway on the island, the crisp sound of their armor clashing echoing through the empty plaza. In addition to the salty smell of the sea, the air is filled with an inescapable atmosphere of grimness and bloodshed.

Bai Yu, holding Nico Robin's hand, walked steadily at the front. His three-tomoe Sharingan calmly swept across the surroundings. The hypnotized CP5 agents followed behind the group like the most loyal servants.

He proudly displayed the CP5 badge on his chest. Upon seeing this, the naval soldiers and junior agents along the way bowed and made way for him, not daring to step forward and ask him a single question.

Within the World Government's system, the CP organization holds a far higher status than ordinary naval personnel, let alone a special agent team that has come with a formal mission. They naturally regarded Bai Yu and his group as their superiors who had come to hand over the mission, without even the slightest suspicion.

Robin looked up at the Judgment Tower before her, a symbol of the World Government's absolute authority. The flames of Ohara twenty years ago, the collapse of the Tree of Knowledge, the last image of her mother, Olvia—scenes flashed through her mind like sharp blades, repeatedly cutting into her nerves. But this time, she was no longer the helpless eight-year-old girl desperately fleeing for her life. She had allies fighting alongside her, and a power strong enough to crush all fear.

Artoria gripped the hilt of her sword, her golden eyes filled with no fear, only a fierce fighting spirit. Excalibur trembled slightly in its sheath, as if thirsting for the blood of its enemies.

Retsu Unohana calmly surveyed the defensive layout of Enies Lobby, ready to respond to any unexpected situation at any time.

With a strawberry-flavored lollipop in her mouth, Kanna followed the group briskly with her short legs, curiously observing the serious soldiers around her, completely disregarding this so-called ultimate prison.

Passing through layers of guarded gates and stepping over the steps inscribed with the word "Justice," the group entered the core hall inside the Trial Tower without any hindrance.

The hall was extremely luxurious yet chillingly cold. The floor was paved with smooth white marble, and dozens of giant stone pillars stood around it. On the high platform in front, there was a chair inlaid with gold and gemstones. Sitting on the chair was a man who was not short but had a lewd face. He was Spandam, the current commander of CP9.

He was sitting with his legs crossed, fiddling with an ivory object in his hand, humming an off-key tune, with several CP9 members standing beside him.

Upon seeing the group of CP5 agents escorting him in, Spandam paused for a moment, then waved impatiently. But when his gaze fell on Nico Robin, his small eyes widened instantly, and a smug and malicious smile spread across his face.

"Oh? Isn't this our devilish child, Nico Robin?"

Spandam abruptly stood up from his chair, swaying as he walked down the platform, his gaze sweeping over Robin with unbridled lewdness. His tone was full of mockery and cruelty: "I only received the information from CP5 not long ago. I thought you'd be cowering in a corner of Water Seven like a rat, but you've actually come to me willingly. Did you know you couldn't escape and came to Enies Lobby to face trial?"

Robin's body tensed instantly, and the anger and hatred that had subsided erupted like a volcano. Her dark eyes surged with overwhelming killing intent, and the power of the Flower Flower Fruit unconsciously gathered at her fingertips.

Spandam ignored this and became even more smug. He stood on tiptoe, pointed his cane at Robin's face, and spouted nonsense: "Have you forgotten how that wretched island of Ohara turned into a sea of ​​fire ten years ago? Let me tell you, that was my father Spandam's masterpiece! The golden Den Den Mushi rang, the Buster Call was activated, five vice admirals, ten warships, and cannons roared everywhere. The Tree of Knowledge, the archaeologists—all of them were reduced to ashes and reborn. That scene was simply the world government's greatest act of justice!"

"Your damned mother Olvia, and those scholars who tried to pry into the blank history, all deserved their fate! If you ask me, you should have been burned at Ohara back then, but it's not too late now."

He became more and more excited as he spoke, his face contorted and crazed, completely immersed in the pleasure of boasting about his father's achievements. He was oblivious to the fact that the atmosphere in the hall had turned to freezing point, and he didn't see the rage in Robin's eyes that was enough to devour him completely.

"Have you... said enough?"

The next second, Spandam felt a tightness all over his body as countless arms instantly grew wildly from his feet, back, and neck, tightly binding his limbs and torso, suspending him in mid-air, unable to move.

The power of the Flower-Flower Fruit erupted without restraint, dozens of arms wrapping around him in layers, the force almost crushing his bones. Spandam grimaced in pain, letting out a pig-like scream, the ivory cane falling from his hand, his arrogance instantly turning into fear and agony.

"Ah—! Let me go! You bitch! Do you know who I am? I'm Spandam, the commander of CP9! You dare lay a hand on me? I'll make sure you die a horrible death! What are you doing, CP9?! What are you doing?!"

Of course, CP9 couldn't make a move. There were only two CP9 members in the office, and their strength was far inferior to that of the future Rob Lucci. They were already controlled by the Sharingan the moment Bai Yu entered the office.

Robin ignored his roars and manipulated her Devil Fruit power to tighten it little by little. The wandering, fear, pain, and loneliness of the past ten years all turned into the power of revenge at this moment. She wanted to make this arrogant man personally experience the despair that the scholars of Ohara had endured, and make him pay the price for his vicious words.

The arms tightened more and more, Spandam's face turned purplish-red, his breathing became increasingly difficult, his screams gradually weakened, and finally, his eyes revealed a desperate look of being unable to live or die.

Just as he was about to suffocate, Bai Yu gently raised his hand, signaling Robin to stop.

The arms wrapped around Spandam vanished instantly, and he collapsed to the ground like a rag doll, gasping for breath and coughing incessantly. His eyes, filled with extreme fear, stared at Robin, all traces of his previous arrogance gone.

Bai Yu slowly walked up to him, looking down at the disheveled Spandam on the ground. His dark eyes transformed into the spinning Sharingan with three tomoe, and an eerie red light enveloped Spandam's mind, causing him to freeze in place.

"Spandam, bring out the golden Den Den Mushi you've been hiding."

Chapter 144 Demon Slayer Order

Spandam was briefly controlled by the power of the Sharingan. He subconsciously reached into his pocket and pulled out a golden Den Den Mushi with exquisite patterns carved on it. This was the Golden Den Den Mushi that was capable of launching a devastating Buster Call during the Ohara incident.

As Bai Yu released him from control, Spandam suddenly came to his senses. He looked at the golden Den Den Mushi in his hand, then at the calm Bai Yu. He was stunned for a moment, then burst into a maniacal laugh. His laughter was hoarse and shrill, full of mockery: "Hahaha! Foolish! Utterly foolish! Do you know what you're doing? Once the golden Den Den Mushi is activated, the Buster Call will be issued! Five vice admirals, ten elite warships, and their cannon fire will blast this Enies Lobby, and all of you, into dust."

"You actually asked me to activate the Buster Call? Are you insane?!"
