The cover-story caption reads: "The name of Miss Goldenweek's strategy 'Meet Baroque' Vol. 23: 'Fake Mr. 3's Okama Kenpo Explodes!!'" The image shows the fake Mr. 3 performing a dramatic, swan-like Okama Kenpo flourish while other figures react around him. It is a cover-story bonus rather than the Enies Lobby main plot. Page 7: Luffy's shout tears across the space between the courthouse and the Tower of Justice: "Robiiiiii..." and "Nnnnnn!!!" The sound reaches the room where Robin and Franky are being held. A Government man reports, "Chief, sir!! A guy with a straw hat... is shouting on the roof of the court-house...!!" Franky immediately understands: "... No doubt, it's 'Strawhat Luffy'!!!" and calls him "The leader of the crew!!!" Spandam is stunned into silence. The guards are confused because Blueno had been guarding the roof: "Wasn't he guarding the roof!? What the hell is he doing at such a crucial time!!?" The shout proves what Spandam does not want to admit yet: Luffy is not outside the operation anymore; he has broken through to the visible line between Robin and the rescue. Page 8: On the courthouse roof, Luffy's heroic arrival is undercut by his body. His stomach growls, "Gurgle grr...!!" and he pants, "...!! Ah... I was fighting so much...!!" then, "Haa... Now I'm starving..." He reaches into his pockets and announces the solution: "That's why I have a..." The syllables break apart as he pulls out food, "Ben~~~" and "To~~~!!!" with the note that bento means boxed lunch. Stuffing his cheeks, he mumbles, "...Grrudy shlipffern nn mawpowked!! Glad I stuffed 'em in my pockets!!" Spandam, watching the absurd scene from below, realizes, "So that's him...!!! 'Strawhat Luffy'." A guard can only shout, "What the hell...!!?" The page keeps Luffy human and ridiculous even at the center of a world-shaking rescue. Page 9: Below the Enies Lobby sign, Blueno lies defeated, collapsed face-first while Luffy eats above him. The sight shocks the Government agents: "Blueno!!?" "No way...!! This can't be happening...!!!" "All right!! My strength is back!!" Luffy shouts, restored by his food. The agents understand why the defeat is terrifying: "He's a member of CP9...!! A Rokushiki user... and a Devil Fruit user...!!" and "Blueno's a superhuman with more than 800 douriki...!!!" Yet the fact remains: "... Yet, he lost to that brat!!?" Luffy answers the whole island with a huge cry, "Woo oooo oh~~!!!" Blueno's defeat has turned from a private rooftop battle into public proof that CP9 can be beaten. Page 10: Spandam's panic flips into command. As guards scream "Gyaaa aaah~~!!!" and "Oooo oh~~!!!" from the chaos outside, one asks, "Ch-chief!! What should we do!!?" Spandam answers with an order that makes the fight absolute: "Call Lucci and the others!!! Gather everyone here!!!" Then he declares, "My order for CP9: 'Strawhat Luffy' and his entire crew are to be completely annihilated!!!" The building itself seems to swallow the command in its vast stone walls. With Blueno down and Luffy visible, Spandam no longer treats the Straw Hats as a delay or nuisance; he mobilizes the full CP9 force to erase them. Page 11: Spandam adds more instructions as the transfer continues: "Inform Baskerville, too!!! If the pirates lower the drawbridge..." and "I'll decapitate all three of his heads!!!" A guard replies, "Y-yes, sir!!! Right away!!!" while Spandam says, "Hey, let's hurry." Then he turns his pressure onto Robin. "Lift up your head, Nico Robin." He asks whether she understands how extreme this rescue has become: "... They've come this far. Do you know how completely outrageous this is...?" Robin answers quietly, "I understand that you've accepted the Government's terms for the sake of your nakama." Spandam twists the point: "But the idiot chief... broke the agreement you had with the Government, just like that. It's not like anybody will be saved because you've surrendered yourself." The only escape he offers is emotional cruelty: "There's only one way to get outta here: respond to their rescue!!! ... So, why do you look so depressed...?" 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...
