## One Piece Chapter 373, pages 15-16: Necessary Evil - Chapter: 373 - Pages: 15-16 - Characters: Franky, Sogeking, Sanji, Nico Robin, Rob Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa, Blueno, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 15: Franky makes a desperate call: "Franky!! Cut the third car loose!!!" Someone asks, "Why?!" and he answers, "To get away!!!" CP9 reacts at once: "Don't let Franky escape!!" Sogeking prepares his own move while Sanji asks, "Hey! What're you trying to do!?" Franky tells him, "You should get ready, too. It'll all happen in an instant!!" Sogeking fires "Smoke Star!!!" The car fills with smoke and chaos, giving the rescuers the one opening they need. Robin's refusal has not ended the rescue; it has forced Franky and Sogeking to switch from persuasion to extraction under cover. Page 16: Inside the smoke, CP9 coughs and snaps, "What a dumb trick!!" Kalifa and Kaku react as a massive shape bursts through the confusion. Luffy appears, carrying Robin on his back with Sogeking behind him, and declares, "Nico Robin... is coming with us!!" The words cut through the entire argument CP9 has been making: Robin is not a government problem, not a demon to harvest, and not a fate to accept. She is their friend. The detached car erupts with "FOOM!!!" as someone shouts, "Run--!!!" Franky and Sanji cheer, "Awesome!!!" while the rescuers escape with Robin in hand, at least for this instant.
