Spandam threw back his head and laughed his insane laugh. Victory was his. He had Nico Robin, and the CP9 would take care of the pirates. He dragged her behind him, taking her to the processing chamber. She'd probably die before she'd talk, but he could just extract all the information directly from her body.
"Wa ha ha ha ha!" He laughed as he dragged her along the ground. "I can't believe how easy that was! You're going to make me the greatest hero the world has ever known! All I need to do is take the information from your useless body, and I'll be promoted for certain."
Robin sobbed quietly, and dug her heels into the ground, trying to stop the forward motion. She wrenched her arm out of Spandam's grasp, and began running the other way. I just need to hold on a little longer, she thought. Everyone's coming to rescue me!
"Where do you think you're going? Spandam shouted, pushing her from behind. She tumbled to the floor, crying out as her face hit the solid ground. She tried to get back up, but Spandam was on top of her now, kicking her viciously in the ribs.
"Where are you going to go? The only things back there are your friends' dead bodies!" he shouted as he stomped on her back. "There nobody coming to save you, you stupid bitch! You belong to us now!"
"They said they would come!" Robin shouted desperately. "Do you even understand what you're doing here? Why you're fighting? Why you're killing people?"
Spandam stopped kicking her, and grabbed her by the front of her dress, holding her teary face at eye level. "I don't care about a reason," he said. "All I want is my promotion. What happens after that is none of my business."
"And them?" Robin asked. "Your lap dogs? Do they know the reason?"
Spandam burst out laughing again. "Are you kidding, little girl?" he said, throwing his head back. "They know even less than I do, they don't care. They jsut follow orders like good little agents."
Robin glared at him, her eyes filled with determination. "Then you will never be able to beat them" she said, her voice laced with conviction. "They will come for me. Everybody's coming to save me."
Spandam reached back a hand to slap her, but before he could he heard a sound. A quite, pulsating noise. He lost interest in Robin for the moment, looking around to try and identify the source.
The sound was followed by a rumbling, the very ground beneath him vibrating and shaking. Spandam's glaces became mroe frantic, trying desperately to figure out what was causing the problem.
Could one of them gotten through? He wondered, and then dismissed it. This CP9 was the strongest ever. There was no way that it could lose to some rabble like this--
The ground broke beneath his feet as a the tip of a massive drill thrust through from below. Spandam panicked, tumbling backwards to get out of its way. Robin fell ont he other side of it, the intruder cutting Spandam off.
The drill was followed by a giant mecha, bursting through the hole that the drill had left behind. The drill retracted into its hand, and it knelt in the passageway, which was barely large enough to contain its bulk.
It extended on hand down to where Nico Robin was standing, and a smaller drill trust out, piercing the handcuffs that bound her and her powers.
Now free, she stumbled forward. A hatch on the forehead of the robot, hidden below the large tuft of blue 'hair', slid backwards with a hiss, and a gold-and-red cloak burst through the gap, ruffling in the wind.
And arm stretched out from the cockpit, grabbing her gently by the waist, and then retracted, pulling Robin upwards, to where he was waiting.
"Luffy..." she said quietly as the Pirate King held her in his arms.
"I came to save you, Robin," he said. "Just like I promised."
Tears streaming freely down her face, Robin nodded.
Luffy reached down into the cockpit's exterior, and pushed a lever. Five drills shot out of the robot's body, impacting the ground in front of them. The top of each opened, and in each stood one of Robin's friends: Zoro. Sanji. Nami. Chopper. The mysterious Sogeking.
MORE OF AN AMALGAM, BUT WHATEVER
