Long Summary
The four remaining Straw Hats along with Paulie break into the bedroom to be greeted by the sight of an injuered Iceburg surrounded by Nico Robin and the CP9 members. Paulie is shocked when he realizes the situation and with Rob Lucci's voice confirming that his friends are really his enemies, he begins to attack. Rob Lucci however, stabs Paulie with only his finger after saying "Shigan".

Lucci then explains that the members of CP9 have all trained countless hours to make their bodies into weapons and have mastered numerous skills that soar above normal human capabilities, Rokushiki. As Lucci is about to eliminate Paulie, Luffy attacks him with Gomu Gomu Gatling only for it to have no effect on Lucci after he uses Tekkai. Using Soru, Lucci manages to hit Luffy with Shigan to the neck. Luffy, who only escapes injury due to the abilities of the Gomu Gomu Fruit, brings Paulie to where he and the Straw Hat Pirates are and explain to the CP9 that they promised to kill those who were trying to kill Iceburg.

The Straw Hat Pirates then ask Robin to explain why she wishes to leave the crew and she states that if she is to stay with them, the dream which she would sacrifice anything for, would never be achieved. Iceburg interrupts only for Robin to attack to stop him interfering to the shock of those around her. Chopper asks whether she is their enemy however, before she could reply, Lucci interrupts and informs the that the mansion will be ingulfed in flames within two minutes. As Kalifa, Kaku and Blueno stand in the way between Robin and Lucci, Luffy states he isn't happy about her leaving and the four Straw Hat Pirates prepare to attack.
