## One Piece Chapter 373, pages 13-15: Necessary Evil - Chapter: 373 - Pages: 13-15 - Characters: Nico Robin, Sanji, Franky, Rob Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa, Blueno, Sogeking, Wanze ### Summary 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. Page 14: Robin suddenly turns her power against Sanji and Franky. Sanji is thrown down and cries, "Usopp!!!" while Sogeking reacts from the side with a startled "Eh?" Sanji groans, "Robin... what are you doing!?" Wanze, battered nearby, says, "Ow...!!" Robin looks at them and says, "It seems that words are meaningless to you people..." Lucci laughs softly, "Haha ha..." Robin's calmness hurts more than the attack: she is forcing the rescuers away not because she has no feelings, but because she is still trying to make them abandon her before CP9 and the government destroy them too. Page 15: Franky makes a desperate call: "Franky!! Cut the third car loose!!!" Someone asks, "Why?!" and he answers, "To get away!!!" CP9 reacts at once: "Don't let Franky escape!!" Sogeking prepares his own move while Sanji asks, "Hey! What're you trying to do!?" Franky tells him, "You should get ready, too. It'll all happen in an instant!!" Sogeking fires "Smoke Star!!!" The car fills with smoke and chaos, giving the rescuers the one opening they need. Robin's refusal has not ended the rescue; it has forced Franky and Sogeking to switch from persuasion to extraction under cover.
