Chapter 374 summary
Luffy carries Robin on his back aboard Rocketman as the crew yells to turn back upon spotting Yokozuna blocking the tracks. The train collides with the giant frog and the separated car reveals CP9 agents Kalifa and Blueno using thorn whips and air doors to pull the rescuers back. Sanji fights Blueno with powerful kicks while Sogeking tries to guard Robin, but she uses her powers to attack Sogeking and reject the rescue. Franky holds the separating cars together with his body and refuses to abandon Robin despite her protests. Blueno strikes Sogeking with Shigan and explains Robin's past trauma from surviving a Buster Call that destroyed her island. Sanji rages at the explanation as Blueno opens another door and dismisses the fight. The Puffing Tom resumes course toward Enies Lobby with Lucci noting their imminent arrival. Robin and Franky are transported inside as the gates open to the Nightless Island.
