Chapter 420

Summary
Franky tries all the keys everyone had fought and gained from the CP9 members until he finds the one that opens her cuffs to the shock of Spandam. Spandam cannot believe the Strawhat Pirates defeat all the members of CP9 in the Judicial Tower, claiming they must have stole them and ran. They tell her Via Den Den Mushi to thank them later and do whatever she wants in the meantime. Her first act is to summon arms on Spandam and proceed to beat him senseless.

Franky orders the others to join him. Just then a loud explosion from the gate of Justice grabs the groups attention, the fence around the island is now broken and the sound is a signal Buster Call is arriving and the bombardment has already begun. A huge explosion hits the tower where Sogeking was, Paulie and the others with him hear it and start worrying. The World Government workers and Marines still left on Enies Lobby realise they have to get off now. Sanji calls Usopp, Sogeking stands up reporting he is fine. Spandam orders the Marines with him to catch Franky and Robin now.

In the Underground Passage Nami, Kokoro and Chimney rush through the tunnel to escape the bombardment above as the viberation hits the tunnel. Meanwhile in the above Bridge of Hesitation, Luffy and Rob Lucci continue fighting. Rob Lucci finally figures out how Luffy's Gear 2 works. Rob Lucci speaks of the earlier explosion being a test and that the real bombardment is about to start on the island. He mocks Luffy saying his crew and everyone else is about to be destroyed and anyone in the underground passge will drown.

Back on the bridge, Spandam tells the Marines to stop messing around, reminding them the ships are coming. But it is already too late, one of them reports they can see the ships now; the fleet of warships have arrived!
