## One Piece Chapter 389, pages 12-14: Response - Chapter: 389 - Pages: 12-14 - Characters: Spandam, Nico Robin, Franky, World Government agents, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 12: Spandam keeps pushing Robin toward despair. "It's like you're running away from something on your own..." he says, and then asks the cruel question directly: "Are you afraid that your nakama will die here?" His conclusion is meant to trap her: "If you look away, they won't be able to rescue you!!!" Robin's face tightens, but she still gives no answer. Spandam demands witnesses: "Isn't anyone around here!? Come out!!!" and then says, "I'll force you to see Straw-hat now." He orders, "Let's head to the Gates of Justice immediately!!! Bring the two of them over!!" The agents move Robin and Franky, while Spandam's purpose becomes clear: he wants Robin to look at Luffy and reject the rescue with her own mouth. Page 13: As Spandam moves the prisoners, Franky suddenly becomes the problem. Guards cry, "Ch...!! Chief, sir!! Franky's...!!" and "Franky's ass is expanding!!!" Spandam turns and shouts, "Whoa, what the hell!!? Is he constipated!!?" Franky calls out, "Hey... Spanda..." and announces his decision: "I've sensed the end of my life nearing and have decided to choose self-destruction instead..." He adds, "But at least I'll take a bunch of you guys with me, too...!!!" The threat escalates with "Whaaat!!?" and "With a 3 km diameter explosion..." The guards panic, yelling, "Idiot...!! No, you idiot, wait, stop!!!" "Help! Don't drag me into this!!!" and "Bastard, I don't wanna die~~!!!" while Spandam screams "Stoooop!!!" Franky has turned even his captured body into leverage. Page 14: The absurd countdown gives way to a real blast. Franky keeps counting, "1... 2... 3..." as Spandam drags Robin onward and says, "Let's go, Nico Robin." Franky calls the move "Coup de..." and then the explosion hits with "Boo"!!! The blast tears through the corridor, hurling bodies and debris while guards scream "Gyaaaa-aaah!!" and "!!?" Spandam is thrown aside with "Guh!!!" and a huge crashing burst. The tower wall shakes and smoke pours out. What looked like a crude joke becomes a successful escape maneuver: Franky uses the explosion to break the formation around himself and Robin.
