Chapter 389

Luffy calls out to Robin, only to hear her tell him to keep his distance because she wants to die. Spandam, rattled, summons the remaining CP9 agents to the tower.

Luffy wolfs down meat he had stashed in his pockets to recover from the fight. Spandam spots the unconscious Blueno and panics that a Six Powers master with a Douriki above 800 could lose, ordering Lucci and the others gathered and warning Baskerville to keep the drawbridge raised on pain of losing his three heads.

With attention diverted, Franky claims his life is ending and threatens to self-destruct and take the guards with him, sending Spandam's men fleeing. The bluff lets Franky seize Robin and rocket the pair clear with a blast of gas, then break through the net so Luffy can reach them. Overjoyed to see Robin alive, Luffy prepares to leap to her, but she stops him, declaring she never asked to be rescued and only wishes to die. Spandam laughs at her rejection, and before Franky can respond, Kaku strikes him aside as the full CP9 assembles.

Franky's threatened self-destruction is revealed as a ruse to pull Robin away from Spandam. The chapter confirms Blueno's high Douriki rating, underscoring how far Luffy has climbed. The cover continues the Baroque Works arc, exposing the captured Mr. 3 as Mr. 2 in disguise, primed for a rematch with Hina.
