## One Piece Chapter 409, pages 8-9: Bad News Emergency Broadcast - Chapter: 409 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Nico Robin, Spandam, Cutty Flam, Marines, CP9 ### Summary Page 8: Robin, furious and terrified, forces the truth into the broadcast: "It'll sacrifice everything to carry out the goal; a diabolical focus-fire!! That is the 'Buster Call'!!! You're like that because you don't know what happened 20 years ago in Ohara...!!!" Spandam answers with pure calculation. "That's fine... That just means this is such an important case for the Government...!! Now that that idiot Cutty Flam has burned Pluton's blueprints, your existence is the only way for us to get the ancient weapon." He grins and reduces mass death to policy: "Military strength that will overturn an era is dependent upon it...!!! Even if several thousand soldiers die in the process of burying the idiots who are trying to take you away, we can say that it's simply an unavoidable sacrifice for the glorious future!!" Page 9: The soldiers listening outside recoil from Spandam's words. "Most of all, my promotion depends on this, too!!" he says, making the catastrophe even uglier. Men below shout, "EEEEH!? What is he talking about!?" and "Us, a sacrifice!? Don't joke around!!" Robin answers with the question at the heart of the page: "What do you think human lives are?" Spandam replies without shame: "Don't forget. CP9 is the Government's secret intelligence organization. If we need 100 deaths in order to save 1000 lives, then we'll kill those 100 people on the spot, without hesitation. For true justice, sacrifices are needed, too." Then he spits at his own men: "Either way, those useless soldiers are better off dead! They couldn't even stop the intruding pirates, idiot bastards!!!" Robin can only stare, shaken: "...!!" and "!?"
