Luffy, Franky ### Summary Page 15: Robin hears the word that has always felt forbidden. "Live...!?" Her memories answer with voices that told her the opposite. Spandine once condemned her: "You must not live in this world, Robin!!!" Another voice burned the same sentence into her life: "Your mere existence... is your greatest sin, Robin!!" She thinks of Olvia and Saul, of the impossible wish she had buried. "I thought it was something I couldn't wish for..." Saul's promise returns: "Sumday, surely..." "The sea is vast..." Robin had once chosen despair and said, "I want to die!!!" because, as she admits, "Nobody has ever allowed me that." But Saul's hope remains: "Yer 'nakama' will appear to protect you!!!" A voice urges her to trust the man before her: "Trust in Luffy!!!" Robin begins to let herself say it. "If I can really..." "Declare my wish... I..." Page 16: Robin finally breaks. Tears streaming down her face, she chooses the life she had been told she could never ask for. "I WADDA LIVE!!!" The words carry across Enies Lobby, raw and unmistakable. She asks the Straw Hats for the future she had stopped believing in: "...!! Take me with you" "To the sea!!!" Franky, unable to hold back his emotion, sobs from beside her: "Woooooh, I love you guys, damn it~~!!!"
