At Least One Child Gets Out

After the maid finished speaking, she stuffed an old cloak into Ginny's arms.

"Go down the laundry path."

There's a scrap ship at the end.

"It won't check living people because they assume no one inside would want to hide."

Ginny looked down at Bonney in her arms.

What's your name?

The maid shook her head.

"Don't remember."

Ginny stared at her.

I'm determined to remember it.

The maid's fingers clenched at the hem of her skirt, then released.

"Mary."

Ginny smiled.

"Good."

"Mary, after you get out of here alive, go find the Revolutionary Army."

Mary lowered her head.

"I can't get out."

Ginny looked at her.

"Then I'll write it down for you."

Mary finally looked up and glanced at the baby in the swaddling clothes.

"Let her get some sun."

"Ginny said in a low voice."

Yes, it will.

The sound of footsteps in the video is approaching from a distance.

Mary shoved Ginny.

"Walk."

Ginny carried Bonney and squeezed into the narrow passage.

In reality, Bonney looked at the woman with her head down, her voice hoarse.

What happened to her after that?

Text appeared on the Sky Screen.

[Mary, the handmaid of the Holy Land, was dealt with the following day.]

[Criminal charge: Negligence in management.]

Bonney closed her eyes, her shoulders trembling.

The bear pulled her into its arms.

"She saved you too."

Bonney pressed herself against the bear's chest and said in a muffled voice.

I will remember her.

Robin spoke softly in Sabaody.

"Mary."

"I've got it."

The Sky Screen seemed to respond to her.

[Witness records are synchronized.]

Mary's name has been added to the victim list.

In the Holy Land's main hall, Saint Saturn looked at these words.

"Even the maids need to be recorded?"

The Sky Screen lit up coldly.

[All those who are erased can be recorded.]

On Future Island, Sabo looked at the White Mask.

"That's what you're most afraid of."

The White Mask remained silent.

The dragon stood at the doorway, the wind rolling past his feet.

"They rule the world by making people forget each other."

"The Sky Screen is dismantling this wall."

Vegapunk watched as Ginny crawled through the waste tunnel on the screen, his finger resting on the control panel.

"She had already entered the late stage of the Azure Jade Scales at that time."

"Moving like this, with every step, is worsening the condition."

Bonney looked up.

Does she know?

"Vegapunk said in a low voice."

"She knows."

Ginny, visible through the Sky Screen, also answered.

She held her child, leaning against the corner of the scrap ship, the scales on her arms spreading to the side of her neck.

The baby cried in her arms.

Ginny pressed her face against hers and gently coaxed her.

Don't cry.

"Mom knows you're in pain."

"Mom is in pain too."

"But let's go outside."

"You can see the sea as soon as you go out."

The ship was rocking.

There were sounds of inspection outside.

Ginny covered the baby's mouth, but afraid of hurting her, she could only use her wrist to block out the baby's cries.

My footsteps stopped outside the box.

Some people say...

Where should this batch of waste be sent?

Another voice answered.

"Burning of old sea areas."

"Jade experimental waste, don't touch it."

Footsteps left.

Ginny let go of Bonnie's hand and lowered her head to kiss Bonney's forehead.

Did you hear that?

They call us waste.

But you are not.

"You're Bonney."

In reality, Bonney was clutching the bear's clothes.

She kept calling my name.

"That's what the bear said."

"Because she's afraid the World Government will turn you into a number."

Bonney sniffed.

"I won't."

My name is Jewelry Bonney.

The text on the Sky Screen lit up.

[Victim self-identification.]

[Bonney's long-term monitoring terms have been permanently voided.]

In the Holy Land, Saint Saturn looks up.

It's also revoking privileges.

One of the Five Elders spoke.

"The surveillance chain on Bonney has been broken."

Saint Saturn said.

"So be it."

"As long as she is alive, the sample is still valuable."

The Sky Screen captured it immediately.

[The person in charge adds a statement.]

[Saint Saturn still considers Jewelry Bonney as a case study.]

Bonney looked up, tears still streaming down her face, but her eyes brightened.

"I am not a sample."

The bear opened its mouth.

She is my daughter.

S-Bear stood next to Bonney.

"Daughter."

The backup Control Body slowly followed up.

"No, it's a sample."

Vegapunk looked at the two tiny Seraphim and said softly.

They are studying.

Kizaru looked at him.

Is this a bad thing or a good thing?

Vegapunk answered quickly.

"It's a bad thing for the World Government."

Kuzan continued.

"That's good."

The scene in the Sky Screen continued to unfold.

Ginny's scrap ship veered off course in the storm.

Using a stolen communicator, she manually adjusted the frequency band based on her old training.

This is Ginny.

"Is anyone in the Revolutionary Army able to hear me?"

A cacophony of noise.

She coughed up blood, but still held her child tightly.

"Bear."

"If you hear this, don't cry."

"Come pick up the child first."

"I might be... a little ugly."

In reality, Emporio Ivankov was crying so hard on the other end of the Den Den Mushi that he couldn't even speak a complete sentence.

"Fool."

You look good all the time.

"Dragon said in a low voice."

"Ivan."

Emporio Ivankov gasped for breath.

"I'm fine."

"Leave me alone."

"Let the Sky Screen continue."

The scene shifts to the coast of Sorbet.

The young bear held Bonney in his arms, watching Ginny slowly lose her strength in his embrace.

Ginny tried to raise her hand to touch his face, but only managed to touch his chin.

"Bear."

Don't raise her to be too obedient.

"That's what the bear said."

"Good."

Ginny said.

"Don't try to shoulder everything yourself."

The bear remained silent.

Ginny frowned.

"Promise."

Xiong's voice was hoarse.

I agree.

In reality, Bonney looked up at the bear.

You didn't do it.

The bear lowered its head.

"Sorry."

Bonney grabbed his hand.

"I'll do that next time."

The bear nodded.

"I'll do that next time."

In the picture, Ginny is looking at the baby.

Bonney.

"Mom can't be with you to sunbathe."

"Then let Dad accompany him."

She smiled.

"He's tall, so he's good at blocking the wind."

Bonney laughed through her tears, then quickly covered her mouth.

The bear looked at the screen, and finally, warmth returned to its eyes.

Ginny looked at the bear one last time.

"I'm home."

"Right?"

He hugged her tightly.

"Right."

The camera pauses on the moment the sea breeze blows.

The Sky Screen did not immediately display any text.

No one in the world is urging us.

After a moment, the Golden Light fell.

[Ginny's death record has been corrected.]

[From the original World Government archives, Azure Jade Scales infected individuals died out of control.]

[Now revised to: Ginny, a victim of involuntary human experimentation in the Holy Land, mother of Jewelry Bonney, and a member of the Revolutionary Army.]

[His escape was deemed an attempt to rescue a minor victim.]

[His name will be permanently recorded.]

Emporio Ivankov shouted into the Den Den Mushi.

Ginny!

Did you hear that?!

"You've been remembered!"

At the Revolutionary Army Headquarters, many people stood in front of the screen, their eyes red-rimmed.

Someone whispered.

Ginny.

Then more and more voices followed suit.

Ginny.

Ginny.

Dragon held the Den Den Mushi and did not stop them.

He simply gazed at the Sky Screen, his voice so low that only those around him could hear him.

Welcome back.

On Future Island, Bonney lifted her head from the bear's arms.

"Dad."

I want to go and offer flowers to my mother.

"That's what the bear said."

"Good."

Bonney said again.

"And for Mary too."

The bear nodded.

"Good."

Vegapunk wiped his face.

"Once this is over, I'll hand over the list of all the victims of the Holy Land that I can find to Sky Screen."

The man in the White Mask suddenly chuckled.

Sabo lowered his head.

"Why are you laughing."

The White Mask had blood at the corner of its mouth.

"List?"

"Do you think that publishing the list will allow you to put Saint Saturn on trial?"

He is Five Elders.

He will not be judged by your laws.

Akainu's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

"Then let's change to a law that can prosecute him."

Sengoku glanced at him.

Akainu continued.

The Navy does not recognize the legality of human experimentation.

"If the World Government acknowledges this, then let the whole world see what they are protecting."

"The crane said in a low voice."

"Your statement has crossed the line."

Akainu said.

"They burned the wire themselves."

The Sky Screen brightened.

[Determination of responsibility for the Jade Scales Adaptability Trial.]

[Primary Responsibility: Lucy Saint Saturn.]

[Assistance provided by: Inner Court Medical Bureau, Holy Land Direct Retrieval Team, and those involved in covering up the archives.]

[Victims: Ginny, Joely Bonney, and 372 undisclosed victims.]

Bonney looked up.

Three hundred and seventy-two.

Vegapunk's fingers stopped.

"There's still so much."

The Sky Screen continues to fall.

[Punishment executed.]

[Publicizing the victim IDs and recoverable names of those tested in the Sapphire Scales Trial.]

[Mark existing related facilities.]

[Remove the remaining tracking restrictions from Jewelry Bonney.]

[Granting Joelle Bonney the right to access her mother's remaining footage.]

Bonney's body swayed slightly.

The bear helped her up.

Bonney.

Bonney looked at the Sky Screen, her voice very soft.

"Does Mom still have videos?"

[Ginny left a text message before she fled.]

[The text message was not sent successfully and was saved by fragments of the Holy Land Scrap Ship's logging worm.]

[Read or not?]

Bonney didn't answer immediately.

Everyone in the maintenance cabin fell silent.

The bear crouched in front of her.

You can take your time to think about it.

Bonney looked at him.

Will you watch it with me?

"That's what the bear said."

I'll stay with you.

Bonney nodded.

"Read."

The Golden Light Sky Screen.

In the video, Ginny is cradling a baby in a corner of a scrap ship, her face pale, yet she struggles to straighten the communicator.

"Hello."

"For those who see this in the future."

"If it's a bear, you're not allowed to cry for too long."

"If it's Bonney."

She looked down at the child in her arms and smiled.

"Then let Mom say something first."

"It's amazing that you've lived long enough to see this."
