## One Piece Chapter 389, pages 14-16: Response - Chapter: 389 - Pages: 14-16 - Characters: Franky, Spandam, Nico Robin, World Government agents, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 14: The absurd countdown gives way to a real blast. Franky keeps counting, "1... 2... 3..." as Spandam drags Robin onward and says, "Let's go, Nico Robin." Franky calls the move "Coup de..." and then the explosion hits with "Boo"!!! The blast tears through the corridor, hurling bodies and debris while guards scream "Gyaaaa-aaah!!" and "!!?" Spandam is thrown aside with "Guh!!!" and a huge crashing burst. The tower wall shakes and smoke pours out. What looked like a crude joke becomes a successful escape maneuver: Franky uses the explosion to break the formation around himself and Robin. Page 15: The blast throws Franky and Robin outward. Someone screams, "Ah...!! Shit!! We're falling!!!" as they drop past the face of Enies Lobby. For a moment the fall looks fatal, but the impact hits the outer fence and the chains snap with a hard "thud" and a long metallic scrape. A guard realizes, "The chains are... broken. Good!!" Franky lands hard, still bound but free enough to act, and roars "Super~~~!!!" Robin can only murmur, "Mnnnn..." as she is carried through the violent escape. Franky's ridiculous technique has done exactly what he needed: it breaks the prisoners out of the room and brings them into view of the battlefield. Page 16: Franky and Robin end up on the balcony, high above the gap. Franky pants, "Haa... Haa... Th-that was close. I'm glad there was a fence..." Then he turns to Robin: "Hey, you... you ain't hurt, are you?" Below, Spandam realizes what happened and panics: "Ack!!! H-he deceived us!!! Chief!!! Franky and Nico Robin broke the chains and fled to the balcony!!!" He screams at his men, "Idiots, what are you doing!!? Capture them!" and threatens, "If you let them get away, I'll hang you all!!!" Franky sees the chance plainly: "But, well... Strawhat is there." Then he tells Robin, "Now, respond to him accordingly!!!" Even exhausted, he understands that the battle has reached its emotional center.
