Chapter 391 Goodbye...Partners
"Oh no! The Straw Hat Pirates are in great danger!"

Chopper covered his face.
But the two reindeer hooves could not conceal the expression at all, and the panic and fear were clearly exposed.

Usopp was drowsy.
His ability is the same as Buggy's, [Ammunition Master], his main attributes are strength and spirit, and his physical attribute is very weak.

The sleeping demon vines released by Robin have a strong sleeping effect.

Seeing this, Chopper bit Usopp's thigh hard to keep him awake.

Usopp barely managed to keep his eyelids open and said in disbelief: "Robin actually betrayed us..."

“I totally cannot accept this!”

Chopper's face was covered with tears. He broke free from the vines, transformed into a reindeer, and slammed hard into the ice wall.

There wasn't even a slight tremor.
The ice wall created by Aokiji is as solid as a rock.

"Now, escaping from this frost prison is the key."

Zoro, a man of action, gathered his floating ghost energy and continued to swing his sword, seemingly unperturbed by Robin's rebellion.

While Aokiji is chasing the culprit,

If they break the ice wall, the navy stationed outside will be no match for them.

"It's so hard, even the devil's fire can't burn through it?"

Sanji is depressed.

Even the blazing flames of the devil were disturbed by emotions and became less hot.

Robin's action just now was to use the Straw Hat Pirates as a shield without holding back at all.

"wrong!"

Sanji's expression suddenly changed, and he said loudly: "Green Algae Head is right, we must break this cage as soon as possible, otherwise..."

"Robin will die!"

The Straw Hat Pirates are all straightforward people. Even Nami, who seems smart, can't figure things out when it comes to her friends.

Sanji has the most active brain.
Facing everyone's strange gazes, the demonic flames had condensed into a drill, constantly forging the ice wall.

The figure wrapped in flames said anxiously, "Robin didn't betray us!"

"When Aokiji appeared, Robin knew that his target had always been him..."

"She tied us up on purpose in order to lure Aokiji away and help us escape!"

"If Aokiji catches up to her, Robin will die!"

The voice has not fallen,

The vines that bound the Straw Hat Pirates withered at an extremely fast speed.

The black seeds hidden in the cracks of the vines absorb the energy of the vines and turn into black insects the size of a fingernail.

Nami exclaimed, "Is it Robin's black beetle?"

[Demonologist],

This is Robin's profession in the game. He can seal various demonic substances into the scholar's books he carries with him and release them at the critical moment.

It is an ability similar to that of a contractor.

These black beetles are the lowest subspecies of demons. They continue to develop and grow and eventually transform into demon beetles.

crunch.

Dense swarms of black beetles crowded together, devouring each other madly.

Even the broken limbs were not spared. The last ten surviving black beetles had their shells transformed into bright red with devilish black lines.

Flame demon beetle.

A demon insect species with extremely strong armor-piercing properties and a fire element.

"Robin said that it takes tens of thousands of black beetles to kill a demon beetle, and she has always been reluctant to let the black beetles kill each other..."

Seeing the fire demon beetle pounce on the ice wall, waving its sharp barbed fangs,
Nami's heart sank, her voice trembled as she whispered, "Robin wanted to protect us, so he deliberately wanted to die?"

The Devil Beetle is Robin's strongest weapon, but it is still inside the ice wall.
In other words, Robin had no intention of continuing to live.

Luffy, who had been silent the whole time, looked determined, his straw hat was pinned to the ground, and he shouted, "Robin will not die!"

Click.

In just a few seconds, the demon beetle chiseled a crack in the ice wall.

The indestructible ice wall was quickly cut as if it was restrained.

Seeing this scene,
Nami recalled the casual chat she had with Robin. There were many types of demonic life forms that could be contracted, and the demon beetle was a relatively weak one. Why was it chosen?

Robin just said that he liked the look of the demon beetle.

At the time, Nami thought that the Demon Beetle just happened to fit Robin's silly aesthetic, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Now she reacted.

The ability of the Flame Demon Beetle happens to completely restrain ice.

That's why he could so easily tear open the frost cage that even Zoro and Sanji were helpless against.

"Robin, did you expect this moment to come?"

"She is not a betrayer, she is a protector!"

Boom...

The ghostly knife shadow flashed, the devil's flames roared, and the hurricane fist bursting with holy light smashed down.

A huge gap was opened in the frost cage.

"Attention, the enemy has broken through the cage, get ready to attack!"

The navy is ready.
But before the debris and ice mist could disperse, it was knocked away by the huge frost drilling machine that rushed out.

"Robin!"

……

the other side,
Aokiji stood there with a cold expression.
There is no road ahead, only a cliff covered by lush vines and branches, and there are sheer cliffs for hundreds of meters above.

tick...

Warm blood dripped down the vines.

Robin's arms were crossed and nailed to the cliff by the ice spear.

"I'm sorry, but your life has come to an end."

Aokiji raised his foot and walked towards Robin, who was unable to move like a captured prey.

The ground was frozen solid.

A crisp sound came from the soles of the shoes, like a death knell.

The son of the devil, who has been fleeing and betraying in the darkness all these years, should have shown a look of fear under the oppression of death.

But Robin didn't.

Her messy hair covered her face, but behind her, which Aokiji couldn't see, she revealed a relieved smile.

"In the past twenty years, no matter what situation I faced, I was able to survive."

“Because I have nothing to protect.”

"And now, I am no longer trapped in darkness. It is you who have awakened the soul I once lost, so I also want to protect you!"

"Goodbye...everyone!"

The Straw Hat Pirates should be safe now, right?

The cold is coming,

The ice knife in his pupils gradually enlarged, like the scythe of the god of death, about to reap her life.

At this moment, a faint cry struggled into my ears.

"Robin!"

The body temperature had gradually cooled due to blood loss, and the slow-beating heart suddenly twitched.

Luffy?

Robin raised his head with difficulty, looking at the forest that was constantly being overturned by the frost drilling vehicle, and the familiar figures on the roof.

how come?
Snapped!
Usopp looked through the scope and fired a long-range Hellfire.

Bullets roared,

The frost area around Aokiji was blown up, turning it into a flame zone burning with special gasoline bombs.

Ice and fire collide,
Aokiji stood in the center of the flames, steam rising from his body.
He turned around and looked at the Straw Hat Pirates in confusion, asking, "You were able to escape the Dragon Marked Ice Prison, your strength is beyond my expectation, but are you stupid enough to come and save the betrayer?"

boom.

The one who responded to Aokiji was Luffy's Holy Light Fist Flame.
Looking at the seriously injured Robin, Luffy's face was full of rage, like a mad beast, and he shouted: "No matter if you are the admiral of the navy or the marshal of the navy, I will never allow you to hurt Robin, hurt my partner!"
