Chapter 265: A Close Call—Nami’s Bold Declaration!

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: A Close Call—Nami’s Bold Declaration!

Hearing this, Robin’s eyes filled with fear. She quickly turned toward Lucci.

"Stop joking around. I told you, the whole reason I went with you was to make sure you didn’t hurt the Straw Hats."

Lucci’s eyes turned cold and sinister.

"That’s a shame, Nico Robin. Do you know what happens when you disobey the World Government?"

"You’re out of chances!"

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps came from the corner.

Raynor and Robin were startled and turned around.

Kalifa walked toward them, her long, shapely legs carrying her forward.

Her eyes held a cold, sinister look.

"What exactly happened here? I was only gone for a little while, and you still managed to get beaten this badly."

As she spoke, Kalifa walked straight over to Raynor.

Seeing him gasping for breath, she crouched down and brushed a finger across his chin.

"Now that I get a good look at you, you’re actually pretty handsome. It would be a shame if you died like this."

Kalifa held Raynor’s face in her hands and leaned down toward him.

Her perfect, alluring figure was on full display.

"You’ve been beaten this badly, yet your pulse is still surprisingly strong."

Watching from nearby, Lucci’s expression grew serious.

"Hey, Kalifa. Stop playing around. Finish him off. We’re leaving this place now!"

Kalifa licked her bright red lips, then gave him a helpless look.

"Don’t rush me. Killing someone isn’t a game."

As she spoke, Kalifa raised her hand and thrust a Finger Pistol toward Raynor’s heart.

But just then, several pale arms suddenly sprouted from Kalifa’s arm.

Kalifa froze. Her eyes turned cold as she looked toward Robin.

"Hey, Nico Robin. You’d better think carefully about where you stand. If you defy the World Government, the consequences will be terrible."

Robin’s eyes filled with anger.

"But you promised me that if I went with you and did what you told me, you’d let the Straw Hats go."

"He’s one of the Straw Hats too. I don’t want anyone to die because of me!"

Hearing this, Kalifa stood up.

The arms blooming from her arm vanished as well.

Seeing Kalifa give up on killing Raynor, Robin finally let out a sigh of relief.

But at that moment, Kalifa suddenly moved behind Robin and struck the back of her neck with the edge of her hand.

Robin rolled her eyes back and collapsed to the ground.

Kalifa raised her hand, then blew on it.

"What an annoying woman. She’s so indecisive, yet she somehow managed to escape the World Government’s pursuit for twenty years. I have no idea what those idiots were doing all that time."

As she spoke, Kalifa walked toward Raynor again, her long legs moving gracefully.

Then she planted one foot on his chest.

"I’m sorry, but no one is coming to help you now."

Kalifa slowly crouched down.

The pressure from her foot increased, and Raynor clenched his teeth.

Kalifa leaned closer and blew gently across Raynor’s face.

"You’re exactly my type. What a shame."

She stood up again and slowly raised her foot.

The sharp heel of her shoe gleamed with a cold, deadly light.

If that blow landed, it would be no weaker than a Tempest Kick. Raynor’s heart would be crushed beneath her heel.

Realizing this, Raynor used every ounce of strength he had to try to pull himself backward.

But he couldn’t move even an inch.

Seeing him struggle, Kalifa’s eyes filled with excitement.

She brushed back her hair, and the muscles in her long legs tightened.

Then she brought her foot down.

But just then, dark clouds suddenly covered the sky.

Several peals of thunder rang out, and Kalifa’s movement faltered.

The next instant, a bolt of lightning came crashing down from the sky.

Kalifa and Raynor were instantly blasted black as charcoal.

Somewhere in the distance, the sound of a motorbike could be heard.

Raynor coughed out a mouthful of black smoke, then looked behind him.

Nami was there, holding the Weather Baton in her left hand and driving a sea scooter with her right.

Chopper was riding with her as they sped straight toward them. The sea scooter was moving so fast that it couldn’t stop.

It shot out of the water and crashed straight into the Galley-La Company.

The sea scooter finally came to a stop beside Raynor. Chopper jumped off, saw Raynor’s injuries, and angrily scolded Nami.

"Hey! Raynor’s got life-threatening injuries!"

As he spoke, Chopper quickly pulled out his medical kit and began treating Raynor.

As he treated him, Chopper’s nose began to sting.

Raynor was covered in wounds from head to toe.

There were also bloody holes in his chest left by Finger Pistols.

His right arm had already been injured by Blackbeard, and now it was even worse.

Chopper gritted his teeth and carefully cleaned Raynor’s wounds, his heart heavy with sadness.

As the Straw Hats’ doctor, he had repeatedly allowed his companions to suffer such terrible injuries.

While Chopper was overcome with grief and anger, Raynor reached out and gently rubbed his forehead.

"Thank you, Doctor Chopper."

Hearing this, Chopper’s tears poured down like a broken dam.

"I’m sorry. This is all my fault. If I’d come with you, you wouldn’t have been hurt this badly!"

Raynor sighed.

"But you did come, didn’t you? A ship’s doctor is supposed to treat the crew after they get hurt. What happens before that isn’t something a doctor can control."

Hearing this, Chopper threw himself into Raynor’s arms and burst into tears.

Just then, Nami’s startled cry came from nearby.

"Hey, Robin! What happened to you? Who did this?"

Nami looked at Robin, who was unconscious on the ground, and worry filled her eyes.

She quickly took a bottle of water from the sea scooter and gave it to Robin.

Only then did Robin slowly open her eyes.

When she saw Nami, Robin gave her a relieved smile.

But when she turned and saw Lucci’s cold expression, fear once again filled her eyes.

Robin immediately pushed Nami away.

"Get out of here, now! This place is dangerous!"

Before Robin could finish speaking, Lucci slowly walked toward them, his heavy footsteps echoing.

Robin, still unaware of what was happening, grew tense as she watched him.

There was something about this man. His whole body seemed to radiate murderous intent. Could he be the one who had caused both Raynor’s injuries and her own?

With that thought, Nami stepped in front of Robin to protect her. She raised the Weather Baton and pointed it at Lucci.

"We’ve never done anything to you, so why are you doing this? I’m warning you—if you try to hurt Robin again, I won’t forgive you!"
