The battle rages on in the inner courtyard of Enies Lobby Castle. The carpenters of Water Seven and the members of the Franky Family do everything they can to lower the drawbridge so our friends can reach Nico Robin. Robin finally decides to trust Luffy and unleashes a terrible "I want to live!!", which motivates our friends to fully engage in the battle. This volume also features a long flashback recounting Robin's tragic childhood.
