Chapter 345 summary
Paulie lies injured on the floor as the skull-masked and bull-masked intruders mock him and prepare to kill him over a fake document. Luffy crashes through the ceiling trapped in a golden ring, demands Robin's return, and gets struck by the skull-masked figure's Rankyaku air blade. The bull-masked figure pins Luffy with iron restraints while the intruders receive a Den Den Mushi call ordering them to Iceburg's bedroom without shooting him yet. The feathered-masked figure defeats Lulu in one slash outside and leaps away. Luffy and Paulie, both bound, agree to fight together against the intruders to protect Iceburg. The five masked figures including Nico Robin enter Iceburg's room where he refuses to hand anything over. The bull-masked, skull-masked, feathered-masked, and bear-masked figures remove their disguises to reveal Rob Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa, and Blueno. Lucci states they are Cipher Pol No. 9 and demands the blueprints for Pluton before more victims occur.
