Bad News Emergency Broadcast

Chapter 409 title page, "Bad News Emergency Broadcast." The cover story continues: The name of Miss Goldenweek's strategy, "Meet Baroque," Vol. 39, "An abandoned house they found in the wilderness." In the wilderness, the scattered Baroque Works group reaches an old house near the Cactus Saloon-like landmark, turning the escape side story into a quiet pause before the main chapter's alarm.

The chapter first lays out the battlefield inside and around the Tower of Justice. On the fifth floor, in Kalifa's room, the label reads: "Nami (No.3 Key) vs. Kalifa (No.2 Key)." Outside the tower stands "Franky (No.4 Key)," while on the wall of the tower is "Chopper." On the first floor, the VIP floor, lies "Sanji." On the fourth floor, in "Room: Wolf," the struggle is named: "Zoro & Sogeking vs. Kaku (No.5 Key) & Jyabura (No.1 Key)." The spread makes the crisis mathematical and urgent: each fight is tied to a key, and every key matters if Robin is to be saved.

The view shifts down the route toward the end of Enies Lobby: "In front of the 'Gates of Justice,'" the "Prop interior," and the "Bridge of Hesitation." In the chamber before the bridge, the next duel is fixed in place: "Luffy vs. Rob Lucci." Luffy stands small but stubborn in the huge round room, facing Lucci across the broken floor. The silence is heavy enough that even the tiny sound "stan..." lands like a declaration. Behind that door is Robin, but in front of it stands the strongest wall CP9 can offer.

Spandam drags Robin onward in a panic, shouting into the Den Den Mushi, "Hurry up!!!" He cannot understand how the invasion has reached this deep: "Damn it, what the heck? How did the pirates manage to intrude deep down here!?" He screams for his agents: "Hey!! Respond, everyone!! 'CP9'!! Guys, what were you doing!!? One of the pirates marched in here!! Are you listening to me!!? Answer me, damn it!!!" Then he freezes. "Wait...!! That's...!!" The small device is labeled "Golden Denden-mushi," and Spandam's terror breaks loose as "EEE-EEE-EEH!!?" and "G-Golden..." Robin, beside him, understands enough to go silent with "...!!"

Across the sea and sky, the signal races with "VEEEEEE..." and "VEE VEE VEEEEEE!!!" At Marine Headquarters on the Grand Line, a huge alarm explodes from the Silver Den Den Mushi: "Silver Denden-mushi has received a signal!!!" The message is unmistakable: "Request to trigger 'Buster Call'!!! Request to trigger 'Buster Call' from Admiral Aokiji!!!" Marines scramble. Someone asks, "Location!?" and the answer comes back: "It's from 'Enies Lobby'!!" Another voice calls, "Five Vice Admirals in the vicinity, please respond!!" A commander calculates, "Considering the distance, it's probably faster to head there from the headquarters!!" and another demands, "What about the time!?" The reply: "We can get there in 30 minutes!!!" Orders slam down immediately: "Prepare ten warships to depart immediately!! Gather five vice admirals." "Act promptly!!!" "Yes, sir!!"

Back in Enies Lobby, Spandam is already unraveling. He barks, "Hey, hey!!" and, when a subordinate answers, "Yes, chief?" he screams, "Damn it, I screwed up. This is the Baby Denden-mushi!! What have I done!? I was so careless!! How could I have pressed the Golden Denden-mushi!?" Robin stares at him in horror. Below them, the whole island hears the announcement: "I triggered the 'Buster Call'~~~!!!" People in the streets gasp, "Bu... 'Buster Call'...!? No way." "What is it? An announcement?" Luffy, hearing Robin's voice from beyond the door, asks, "...!! What have you done...!?" Robin, desperate, shouts through the broadcast, "Cancel it immediately!! ...!! It's Robin's voice!!"

The emergency broadcast spreads through the island and catches everyone mid-crisis. In the stairway, Sanji hears "Robin!!" while another voice warns, "It'll have very serious consequences!!" The people below react in confusion: "Cancel it?" "Whaaat!?" "... Hey, hey, look who you're talking to!!!" and someone asks, "... What is this broadcast?" Marines level rifles at the tied-up Franky Family and Galley-La men: "Hey, don't move." The captives protest, "We can't!!" and the officer says nothing, only watches. At the bottom of the page, the bound men laugh in the face of disaster: "Whee-ze whee-ze," "Wa ha ha ha, bring it on, 'Buster Call'!!" The crowd realizes, "That's the chief's voice, isn't it...?" while another asks, "What's wrong with it?"

Spandam tries to recover his authority by pretending the mistake was intentional. He says, "That's right... it's okay. I'm the chief of Cipher Pol No. 9. In order to deliver you to the Government without fail, I triggered 'Buster Call'!! Ha ha... that's a good cause, isn't it...!?" Robin understands what that means and yells back, "How foolish... I've told you!! It won't end just there." Spandam drags her up the stairs anyway: "So, in case anything does happen here, at least we will certainly slaughter all the pirates!!" Outside, officials and Marines are stunned: "That attack doesn't involve any human emotion!!" "Chief and... who is this female voice...?" "Buildings and humans!! Even the island itself...!!" "It'll burn down everything on this 'Enies Lobby'!!" The crowd can only answer with "!!?"
SpandamNico RobinMarines
08
Robin, furious and terrified, forces the truth into the broadcast: "It'll sacrifice everything to carry out the goal; a diabolical focus-fire!! That is the 'Buster Call'!!! You're like that because you don't know what happened 20 years ago in Ohara...!!!" Spandam answers with pure calculation. "That's fine... That just means this is such an important case for the Government...!! Now that that idiot Cutty Flam has burned Pluton's blueprints, your existence is the only way for us to get the ancient weapon." He grins and reduces mass death to policy: "Military strength that will overturn an era is dependent upon it...!!! Even if several thousand soldiers die in the process of burying the idiots who are trying to take you away, we can say that it's simply an unavoidable sacrifice for the glorious future!!"
Nico RobinSpandamCutty Flam

The soldiers listening outside recoil from Spandam's words. "Most of all, my promotion depends on this, too!!" he says, making the catastrophe even uglier. Men below shout, "EEEEH!? What is he talking about!?" and "Us, a sacrifice!? Don't joke around!!" Robin answers with the question at the heart of the page: "What do you think human lives are?" Spandam replies without shame: "Don't forget. CP9 is the Government's secret intelligence organization. If we need 100 deaths in order to save 1000 lives, then we'll kill those 100 people on the spot, without hesitation. For true justice, sacrifices are needed, too." Then he spits at his own men: "Either way, those useless soldiers are better off dead! They couldn't even stop the intruding pirates, idiot bastards!!!" Robin can only stare, shaken: "...!!" and "!?"

The baby Den Den Mushi suddenly clicks out: "That Baby Denden-mushi... is off hook." Spandam panics again: "!!? Eh!!? Ugee!!! Shit!!!" Everyone realizes the worst part at once: "Everyone heard the conversation just now!?" and a Marine says, "... B-b-by the way, this is Strawhat Luffy." Another can only answer, "...!!" The lie is immediately called out: "What a liar!!!" Robin seizes the moment and shouts into the open broadcast, "Everyone, please leave the island!!! 'Buster Call' is aimed at Enies Lobby!!! If you stay on the island, you won't survive!!!" Spandam cuts her off with violence. With a huge impact and Robin's cry, "Argh!!!" he slams her down, shouting, "Don't say unnecessary things!!!"
SpandamNico RobinMonkey D. LuffyMarines
11
The warning continues to echo over Enies Lobby as the signal tower beeps: "BEEP," "CLICK," and "THUD!!!" In the streets, Marines mutter, "'Buster Call'..." and "Bu-..." A tall official judges, "It seems that... he just triggered the 'Buster Call'..." Elsewhere, Kaku pauses midbattle and asks, "What is that guy doing...?" while Jyabura mocks him: "Poor darling... you... Don't even have hope anymore." On the bridge-side path, Zoro faces Kaku with blades ready and admits only the practical truth: "... I guess we're in danger..." Jyabura, hearing that, screams the selfish version louder: "I'm in danger!!!" The alarm has reached every fight, but nobody can afford to stop fighting.

Nami, bruised and sweating, hears the islandwide alarm and refuses to be impressed by the enemy's calm. "We're used to... situations like these!!" she declares. Far away, Jyabura laughs up at the signal, "Ngagagaga... those pirate brats. Under Wild Star... were ye born...!?" Big Mom watches from her own corner of the chaos with interest: "It's getting... Even more interesting!! Ngagaga." Then panic finally breaks the island open. From the streets comes the announcement: "'Buster Call' has been triggered!!!" and "Warships are coming!!!" People scream and run beneath the booming SFX, the city itself seeming to shake as the impossible order becomes real.

The evacuation begins, but fear and selfishness split the island immediately. A voice shouts, "Get out of the Enies Lobby!!!" and another asks, "...!? Why are the Marines running away when the warships are coming?" Someone answers, "Didn't you hear that the entire island would be burned down?" The bound prisoners protest as Marines flee past them: "Hey, guys, if you are gonna run away, untie us first!!" One official snaps, "Who cares!?" Another tries to cling to the institution: "This is a Government island though..." Spandam, still dragging Robin, hears the panic and mutters, "Bursting out with all that nonsense..." Robin thinks through the danger with dread: "If the pirates really manage to escape? How would you take responsibility?"

Luffy stands in the great room, looking toward the door marked with the World Government symbol. He realizes where the voice came from: "What was that just now? Where was Robin speaking from!!?" Lucci answers from the side, "... Behind that door." Then he adds a line that turns the room into a battlefield: "I can't let you pass. At least let me say that." Luffy launches instantly. With a massive crash and "!!!" he strikes, but Lucci meets him head-on, blocking the blow with the cold force of a trained assassin. The path to Robin is visible, close, and sealed by Rob Lucci's body.

15
The fight erupts into close-quarters violence. Luffy drives forward with a bare-fisted rush, his hat flying as the strike lands with a brutal "!!!" Lucci answers in kind, trading blows so fast the page becomes a storm of impacts. Luffy is knocked aside with "!!?" and Lucci follows with a long-legged kick, while Luffy grits through "Nguh!!" and answers "Ooh!!!" The punches are not decorative: every panel shows them testing each other's timing, range, and pain tolerance. Neither man gives ground willingly, and Robin's door remains behind Lucci.
Monkey D. LuffyRob Lucci
16
Luffy and Lucci meet in a full-body clash, their fists driving into each other at the same instant. The page slows around their faces, both men clenched with pain and determination, before the impact explodes outward. With "!!!" and a huge burst of debris, the room is blasted apart around them. The chapter closes on the wreckage and the note "VOLUME 42 (END)." The Buster Call has been triggered, Robin is being carried toward the Gates of Justice, and Luffy's only way forward is to break through Lucci before the warships arrive.

Usopp Gallery Pirates fan-art page. The English host panel reads, "WE ARE USOPP GALLERY PIRATES," followed by "Make it bitter... Usopp Gallery Pirates~!!" and the joke, "Yes, yes... The color of a man~ is dark chocolate~." The page announces, "Hilarious!! They're so fast they can't be seen!!! You get the Grand Prize, you!!!" and "Grand Prize!!! An autograph!!!" The rest is a gallery of reader drawings featuring One Piece characters and jokes, including a large CP9-themed calligraphy-style piece.

Another Usopp Gallery Pirates fan-art spread, filled with submitted drawings of the Straw Hats and CP9. Readable English includes "ONE PIECE," "CHOPPER One Fine Spring Day," "ONE PIECE NICO! ROB!" and a small Sanji-and-Chopper drawing labeled "PUSH on a tie." The page is not part of the chapter's plot, but it is useful volume extra material because it preserves reader submissions and character-themed fan art around Robin, Chopper, Sanji, Franky, Kaku, and other cast members.

Usopp Gallery Pirates continues with more reader art and contact-style submissions. The page includes One Piece character portraits, CP9 and Straw Hat-themed compositions, and readable English phrases such as "One Piece," "Sogeking," "I'm always by your heart," "VIVA!! ROBIN," "ONE PIECE PRINCE SANJI," and "Sexy Assassin." It also includes printed Japanese submission/contact notices for anime and manga departments. This is extra material rather than story, but it can still help identify how the volume frames characters and fan focus at the end of Volume 42.

It lists publication dates, Eiichiro Oda as author, Shueisha as publisher, printing information, Japanese copyright and handling notes, "Printed in Japan," and ISBN "ISBN4-08-874127-7 C9979."

Chapter 409 summary

Spandam drags Robin through the chamber before the Bridge of Hesitation while screaming into a Den Den Mushi for his agents to respond. He accidentally presses the Golden Den Den Mushi and triggers a Buster Call on Enies Lobby. At Marine Headquarters the Silver Den Den Mushi relays the request, and commanders immediately order ten warships and five vice admirals to depart for the island in thirty minutes. Spandam tries to justify the order over the open broadcast, but the conversation reaches every fighter and captive on the island, sparking panic as Marines begin to flee and leave their prisoners behind. Robin shouts for everyone to evacuate before Spandam silences her. On the route to the Gates of Justice, Luffy demands to know where Robin is speaking from, and Lucci blocks the door, stating he cannot let Luffy pass. Luffy attacks at once, and the two trade rapid blows that fill the round chamber with impacts and debris until the room itself begins to break apart.
