《Son of Nico Robin》Chapter 17 Bridge Battle
Advertisement
The strawhats stared at the now burning Enies Lobby. A report had just came in stating that the Franky Family had been wiped out on the island. Franky was left broken at their deaths, but he had to stay strong because the fight was far from over. Back on the ship, the others were in disbelief of what was going on.
Nami: Is it really okay for people to do so easily like this.
Robin: The marines don't see people, only the image of an island on a map. To them they are merely erasing an island off a map. This is what a buster call is.
Kai: Do you think Luffy is going to be okay.
Luffy was in the middle of a heated battle against Rob Lucci. The battle had destroyed most of the tower and each other, however both were still going all out.
Chopper: Don't worry, there's a reason Luffy is fighting Lucci.
Nami: He always seems to know which enemy he has to fight, like an instinct of his.
The silence was then broken by cannon fire, which hit the tower. All five of the war ships were now heading right for them. The pirates all watched as the massive vessels surrounding. They readied themselves, for they knew what was about to happen. However despite this, it didn't stop some of them for cheering on Luffy.
Marine: LISTEN UP, TO THOSE RANKED LIEUTENANT AND BELOW, STAY BEHIND! TO THE 200 ELITE CAPTAINS, GO AND TAKE THEM!
All 200 captains jumped of the ships and landed down on the bridge. Zoro, Usopp, and Franky began fighting them, but there were too many for them all to handle. The captains managed to get past them and started running for the ship.
Nami: You guys stay here, I'll hold them off.
Nami charged at the marines, the end of her staff started to emit lightning.
Nami: Thunder Charge-Swing Arm!
Nami swung her staff, the marines in front got zapped by it and fell to the ground.
Nami: Thunder Ball!

She took one of the spheres from her staff and threw it into the air, a cloud began to form. When the captains looked up at it, they were struck from lightning from the cloud. To say the least, Nami was impressed with what she had done. However as quickly as she defeated them, another group had just arrived.
Marine: Lets get her!
They all leapt in the air, ready to strike her down, however someone stopped them.
Kai: THUNDER BIRD SCREECH!
Kai shot them all down with his lightning. Nami looked up and saw the now transformed Kai.
Nami: Kai is that you?
Kai grinned.
Kai: Yeah, pretty cool right?
Nami: Definitely comes in handy I'll say.
The marines then turned their attention to Kai.
Marine: What the hell is that thing?
Marine2: Who cares, just shoot it.
They all pointed their guns at Kai. Before they could pull the triggers, arms suddenly appeared and started to snap them, rather violently. As they fell to the ground, Robin appeared.
Robin: Attempting to harm my son is a fatal mistake.
She then turned to Nami.
Robin: You forget, we're part of the Strawhats to. If you fight, then we fight to.
Their victory was short lived, as even more marines came flooding in. The trio went on, knocking down marine after marine after marine. But with so many enemies, they soon found themselves surrounded.
Marine1: Man they are giving us a hard time.
Marine2: We just have to avoid those thunderbolts.
Said marine looked up and saw another cloud forming.
Marine1: Quick, everyone disp...
Suddenly everyone marine was tapped on the shoulder. They turned around, only to get smacked. While they were all distracted, Nami took the chance to strike.
Nami: Do it now Kai!
Kai flew up into the air and zapped the cloud, causing it to grow rapidly. The marines could only stare at their incoming doom. Then lightning came raining down, it was so powerful that it blew everything away. When the smoke cleared, only the pirates were left standing.

Nami: You know Kai, you're quickly becoming one of my favorites.
Kai giggled.
Kokoro: Hey good job you guys! Looks like you took care of everyone down here, why don't you go up there and help everyone else!
Nami: Alright, you guys look after Chopper!
And so, they ran up the steps to help their allies. Kai flew through the air, looking for more targets. But then something came crashing into him, knocking him down onto one of the warship decks. When Kai got back up, he saw a marine there wearing a mask.
Sharinguru: I, marine captain Sharinguru hereby place you, Nico Kai, under arrest. I suggest you surrender now.
Kai: Like heck I will. THUNDER BIRD...
Sharinguru came rushing at Kai, faster than he could've anticipated. He crashed right into him, sending him flying into some cargo. When Kai got back up, Sharinguru was circling him. Thats when the young boy saw his limbs spinning.
Sharinguru: I've eaten the Wheel-Wheel fruit, granting me the powers to make my limbs spin like wheels.
Kai tried to take off again, but Sharinguru slammed into him. The attack sent him over the side of the boat, luckily Kai managed to take flight. However, the marine captain drove up the mast and launched off it. The result was he landed right on top of Kai, sending him once again crashing into the boat. Sharinguru landed near him and picked Kai up, who had now turned back into a human.
Sharinguru: See, that wasn't so hard. Hard to believe everyone else had trouble.
Two wings sprouted from Kai's back and touched Sharinguru. Initially confused, Sharinguru was then electrocuted. The moment he let go of Kai, the boy took off into the air.
Sharinguru: Why you little!
He charged at Kai, but he was ready too.
Kai:
Kai released more lightning than he had before, enveloping the area in light. The force of the attack ended up destroying the top deck of the warship. Seeing his enemy defeated, Kai quickly left. However, fatigue started to set in. It has been some time since Kai last ate, to make matters worse he had been fighting a war. He tried to keep going, but his body gave in. He started falling before crashing down on the bridge.
Marine: I got you now kid!
A pair of arms sprouted from his back and snapped his neck. Robin quickly ran over to Kai and held him in her arms.
Robin: Kai are you alright?
Kai: Yeah...just tired.
Robin let out a sigh of relief. Nami then joined up with them.
Nami: Hey what's going on?
Robin: It's alright, he's just exhausted.
Nami: I don't blame him, he fought hard. Unfortunately, I'm starting to feel the same way.
While they were distracted, marines with guns circled them, ready to open fire. Before they could do anything, a loud trumpet was heard. The marines looked over and saw an elephant come running right at them. As the marines yelled, they got trampled over. That elephant was Funkfreed.
Nami: Whoa, what is that?
Robin: It's Funkfreed, Spandam's elephant sword.
Nami: If he belonged to Spandam, what is he doing here?
Robin: Kai stole him.
Nami: Well at least we have someone else on our side.
Nami and Funkfreed continued to fight off the marines as Robin held onto Kai. Despite their best efforts, they were being pushed back. Luckily, a loud explosion rang throughout the battlefield. Everyone turned their attention back onto the tower, which had now crumbled. From the wreckage, a man could be seen.
Marine: THIS IS A REPORT TO ALL SHIPS! MR ROB LUCCI OF CP9 HAS JUST BEEN DEFEATED BY THE PIRATE STRAW HAT LUFFY!
In spite of everything that had been going on, the Strawhat crew couldn't help but feel relief that their captain had won. They had did it, the Strawhat pirates have defeated the legendary CP9.
Luffy: ROBIN! WE ARE GOING BACK TOGETHER!
At those words, Robin couldn't help but tear up.

Come with me to travel and discover all this in... Magic x Magic... - - / - Hey, guys! I want to tell everyone that I managed to recreate a text structure that satisfied me. Finding this new structural formula, I proceeded to rewrite all the released chapters (0000~0048). Rewriting the chapters, I would like to make it clear that; 1 The basis of the story will not change. Only a few small details will be changed, so that those readers who do not want to re-read the chapters will not be harmed in following the story. 2 Those interested in starting over will be rewarded with the introduction of new POVs of some already established plots from the already released chapters. And as I said before, the entire story already developed will not change. Treat this as a way of enriching some plots and backstories for some characters. 3 I decided to bring some plots that would only appear after finishing the first arc. These storylines don't have a development in this arc, but they are storylines that are happening at the same time as the events of the first arc. So there are some more mysteries to reward those who will re-read the novel. Rewrite Update:New Reading Aid Rule: Incomplete.Prologue to Book 01 (Arc 01): Incomplete.Rewritten Chapters: 0000. I want to warn you that for now the chapters are being released gradually, don't give up on me... For more details visit my Patreon page, you can find details about me and the novel 'Magic x Magic' in public posts. A big hug to everyone!Cover art by me, ScanLi.
