Luffy, Franky ### Summary Page 12: The Fire-Bird Star strikes the flag, and the World Government's symbol erupts in flame. The officials and soldiers can only stare. "!?" Cries break out: "Argh...!!" "Ah..." Robin, stunned by what she is seeing, whispers, "... No way." The onlookers understand the meaning immediately. "They've... done it...!!" "They've really done it now~~!!!" One voice asks the question hanging over the battlefield: "Do they even understand the meaning of attacking that flag...!!?"

The meaning becomes undeniable: "The pirates have... declared war... against the World Government~!!!" Robin looks on in disbelief, and Franky is overwhelmed by the sheer recklessness of it. "Are you bastards insane!!? Don't you dare to even dream that you'd survive having the world as your enemy!!!" But the Straw Hats have already chosen Robin over the world that hunts her.

Everyone waits as he demands the one truth she has been denying herself. "Say you wanna live!!!" Shock ripples through the battlefield: "...!?" "!!" Her friends call to her too: "... Robin!" "Robin!!!"
