A New Path - Chapter 191

There wasn’t an exact timeline for when the train carrying Robin, granddaughter of Portgas D Amell would arrive at Enis Lobby. Though, that didn’t matter to Toshiro as he casually strolled around Enis Lobby and waiting for this train to arrive. Toshiro was among the most experienced people inside The Gotei. Even if his height made you think he was more inexperienced than he was, you would come to regret that preemptive judgement of character as he pierced you with his sword. He walked around Enis Lobby without anyone seeing him nor barely perceiving his presence. He was using one of Amell’s own created techniques. It was an ability that used magic to blend into the surroundings, basically becoming invisible.

“Hello?” Toshiro’s earpiece started ringing and he answered immediately.

“Sir, Lord Amell has ordered the lockdown of Enis Lobby. You are to only isolate it, not engage in battle. Lord Amell is on his way to Enis Lobby as we speak.”

“I see, thanks!” He hung up and started walking towards the main entrance to this Government base.

****************************************

At the entrance which was Toshiro’s goal, the train had now arrived and out from it stepped Robin who had the agents walking behind her. “So, this is Enis Lobby? Looks nice, and I always wanted to visit this place.” Robin looked around with a cheeky smile.

“Probably looks better than the shithole you crawled out from.” The female agent responded to her and pushed Robin forward so that she almost fell down.

“Though it looks nice now, it will look better when it’s all up in flames.” Robin smiled at her and spit back without a second thought. At this point, Franky was beyond impressed by this woman. She kept agitating the agents over and over and still, they didn’t kill her, and it looked like she knew they wouldn’t.

“I will personally see to your execution!”

“No, you won’t. When the time comes, you will beg me for forgiveness instead.” Robin kept walking forward with each step becoming more confident than the last. Franky was, however, a lot more nervous then she was as he didn’t have a powerful grandpa or whatnot.

The leading agent picked up a responder snail and called a number on it. “Hello?” A loud and arrogant voice came from the snail a second later.

“Nico Robin is in custody and we have now arrived at Enis Lobby!” He said stoically.

“Excellent! Bring her here now!” The voice said and the connection was cut off.

“You heard the boss, move out!” The leading agent said with his very stoic tone of voice.

************************************************

On a weird-looking train approaching Enis Lobby, the Straw hat crew together with a bunch of shipwrights had gathered for an attack on Enis Lobby. Luffy, together with Zoro and Sanji stood on top the front of the train with anger and worry spread across their faces. Their anger was of course justified.

“Are you guys sure you should do this?” A voice came from behind them, and a green-haired teen had appeared on the train and he was sitting with his legs dangling off the side. Even at this incredible speed, he didn’t look out of balance. One look told all three of them that this teen was more powerful than them.

“Who are you and where the hell did you come from?” Sanji said with some caution. Zoro placed one hand on his swords and Luffy took on a serious stance.

“Calm down, kids, I’m not here to fight you. Even if I were, you would be dead before you even knew how you died. So, how about dropping the caution, I just wanna talk!” He said while nonchalantly picking his nose.

“Talk! What do you want?” Zoro said, still with his hands on his swords. Telling him not to be cautious only caused his alert level to shoot up even more.

“The name’s Lubbock, I was just coming to have a look at this pirate crew everyone keeps talking about. This generation has some interesting rookies!” Lubbock said without a care in the world. Sanji lost his temper and kicked against Lubbock’s head with the intent to split it open. That didn’t go over well as Lubbock caught his leg inches away from his face. “Rude!” He said playfully.

Luffy threw a punch and Zoro drew his sword and dashed at Lubbock. “Don’t think so,” Lubbock raised his finger and both of them stopped immediately in their tracks.

“What did you do to us?!” Zoro asked, bewildered as he couldn’t move, but couldn’t tell why.

“Attacking Enis Lobby will set the whole world against you, are you ready for that?” Lubbock turned his head to Luffy and asked.

“I’ll fight the world, I don’t care about that. I am just here to get our friend back!” Complete seriousness was the only thing audible emotion in his tone. Lubbock smiled and nodded.

“Hahaha, I see! Let me give you guys some advice, don’t rush into New World. You and your crew are not ready for that sea yet.” Lubbock snapped his fingers and they got their movement back. “See you around!” He said and disappeared from the spot in a burst of speed. The three friends were left standing there on the train slightly stunned.

“Who the hell was that guy? And what was with that weird-ass ability of his, I couldn’t move no matter how much strength I put into my arms and legs.” Zoro sheathed his swords again and sat down.

“I don’t know either. But, the name Lubbock somewhat sounds familiar, I just can’t figure out where it’s from.” Sanji took out another cigarette and lit it casually.

*********************************************

In the air above the vast blue ocean, Amell was casually flying along. “If I appear here, my relation to Robin will definitely be exposed and that will put the Straw hats in even more danger then before. If Robin wants to continue with them, is it worth exposing that she is my granddaughter?” He shook his head and sighed. “They kidnapped my granddaughter, they won’t learn their lesson unless I destroy Enis Lobby entirely.” He let out a slight bit of his aura and the sea parted ways underneath him as if it showed its respect and loyalty to a superior deity.

“Time for the world to know what happens when you anger the worlds strongest grandpa!”
