"No, I can't..."
How could he possibly have that ability...
Spandam is just the officer in charge of CP9. He may be the highest-ranking officer on Enies Lobby at the moment, but he's only tied to the island and has no relation to the Navy Headquarters.
"I said long ago that I would come to Enies Lobby. You all cared so much about Nico Robin, yet as her brother and a survivor of O'hara, you have no plans for me?"
The Golden Radio Snail was in his hand, and Spandam could only answer obediently, "The Navy isn't under my command, nor do they have related tasks. In addition, there's CP9 and ten thousand troops, so I thought there was no need..."
"Tsk... Then what about Garp? Where is Garp?" Sage asked.
"I, I don't know..."
He only knew about one Navy movement at most, and that was apparent on the surface. For someone like Garp, the Navy Hero, first, they aren't on the same system, and second, even if they were, with the old man's willful actions, he couldn't possibly know.
The rank of Navy Vice Admiral is already very high, not to mention such a veteran Vice Admiral, the Navy Hero.
"You don't know anything. How do you even hold your position as the information officer?"
Sage glared at him unhappily, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Is Water Seven closer or is the headquarters closer?"
"The... the headquarters... It takes just over half an hour to reach here from the headquarters."
The headquarters, Enies Lobby, and Impel Down are connected by the sea currents through the Gate of Justice, allowing for very fast travel.
"You can't mobilize the defense Navy of Water Seven?" Sage reconfirmed.
Spandam shook his head again.
Sage glanced at the Golden Radio Snail in his palm and fell into contemplation.
If they could rush over quickly from the headquarters, they basically wouldn't mobilize the defense Navy of Water Seven. The purpose of those Navies, aside from preventing him, is to further protect the locale from robbery.
Then...
Sage's eyes gradually turned fierce.
"Sage! What are you going to do!"
Robin, keenly aware of the change in Sage's eyes, couldn't help but cry out.
Click!
With her shout, the thumb rubbing the button of the Golden Radio Snail pressed down at that moment, the crisp sound starkly abrupt in the somewhat quiet office.
"Ah!!!"
Spandam's jaw nearly dropped, yelling in terror, "You pressed it! You really pressed it!!"
"Yes, I did press it."
Sage glanced at the now-open-eyed Golden Radio Snail, threw it forward, and Spandam hurriedly caught it, looking at the Radio Snail full of fear.
In his hands, this thing is not only a weapon but also something terrifying that he cautiously handles, fearing touching it anywhere wrong.
And now... It's actually been pressed!
"The Buster Call, the headquarters won't have too many forces. As long as enough is consumed, they will gather Navies from other places. Water Seven isn't far from here; as long as enough headquarters battleships are consumed, we can mobilize battleships from Water Seven. Without battleship protection, my subordinates can begin their robbery there!"
Sage laughed loudly, "Isn't my plan perfect? Truly a stroke of genius! Hahaha, hohohohoho!"
"You're going to destroy Enies Lobby just for robbing Water Seven?!"
Spandam was dumbfounded.
If you had said so earlier!
If you had said so earlier, I would have risked everything to divert the battleships from Water Seven!
"Hurry, get away!"
Robin shouted, "Inform everyone here to leave quickly. The Buster Call doesn't care about anything; it will destroy everything here!"
"Buru buru buru..."
While she was speaking, the Radio Snail on the desk rang, and Sage naturally picked up the receiver to hear the Radio Snail open its eyes, making a terrified alert.
"Report! 'Straw Hat' Luffy broke into Enies Lobby, we couldn't intercept him, and casualties have already exceeded 400, with numbers still increasing!"
"Oh? Your friends came to rescue you, Robin."
Sage smiled at Robin and spoke into the Radio Snail, "This is Sage, the Buster Call has been activated by me, and there's half an hour left. Use any means you can, find a way to escape. If you're late... you will be blasted into pieces."
After speaking, he hung up the Radio Snail and turned to look behind the chair.
From this direction, the full view of the Gate of Justice can be seen, and likewise, there's a short bridge under the colossal Gate of Justice.
"Will they meet from there?"
Sage pondered for a moment and glanced at the empty desk, saying, "Go, bring me a bottle of wine, the wait for half an hour is too dull."
"You're doing all this for that ridiculous robbery, Sage!!"
Robin charged forward, her palms slapped onto the desk, unable to hold back anymore, "You saw it with your own eyes, you knew! Why do you still do it!"
She couldn't understand.
Clearly having suffered the Buster Call's assault leading to their homeland's destruction, yet Sage isn't afraid and even voluntarily activates it, just for robbery?
"Ridiculous?"
Sage's face darkened, "Robbery is not ridiculous. Seeing we're from the same hometown and relatives, I'll forgive your words this time. All my subordinates are waiting to be fed. As a legitimate pirate and a captain, of course, I must rob."
"What do you eat if you don't rob? We're all pirates, so don't say such pointless things. What you want to do is your freedom, and likewise, what I want to do is also my freedom."
