## One Piece Chapter 373, pages 11-13: Necessary Evil - Chapter: 373 - Pages: 11-13 - Characters: Rob Lucci, Sanji, Franky, Kaku, Kalifa, Blueno, Nico Robin ### Summary Page 11: Lucci states CP9's conclusion without hesitation: "We should still eliminate her... for the sake of the people in this world." Sanji asks, "And your point is...?" Lucci replies, "What I've told you is exactly what Nico Robin's original crime was. Now she's a criminal with a much deeper history, but before all of that..." Kaku and Kalifa listen in silence as Lucci says Robin has "already sinned by her very existence!!!" He adds, "Only her death can bring safety and happiness to others. She has no choice but to accept her fate." To CP9, Robin is not a person to be saved; she is a danger the world government claims the right to erase. Page 12: Lucci continues, "She should have died 20 years ago, and now... before it's too late... she must die... for the sake of the world." Sanji cuts him off with fury: "Bull shit!!! Shut the hell up!!!" He kicks through the speech before Lucci can turn Robin's life into an abstraction. Lucci calmly says, "But it'll probably take the government a few years... to harvest all of Nico Robin's knowledge and experiences. And then, after that, this woman will die... in whatever horrible manner..." Franky hears this and thinks, "Wait! Robin! Don't go in there!!" But Robin is already near the door, walking into the room where her enemies and rescuers are waiting. Page 13: Robin opens the door and steps into the second car. Sanji cries out, "Robin!!!" and immediately asks, "I'm so glad!! Are you okay!? Did they do anything to you!!?" He promises, "I'll take care of these guys right away, and then we'll run away together!!" Robin's expression remains quiet and distant. Franky, seeing the bounty and the truth of her identity, thinks, "Is that Nico Robin? Hm... sure looks like the girl in the bounty." Lucci watches too, while Sanji says the climb was hard: "Why are you doing this!? It was so much work to climb in there... and took so much effort to beat that officer!" The rescue has reached her, but Robin does not answer like someone who has accepted it.
