The Destroyed Bloodline Field
"Bloodline section."
Benn Beckman stubbed out his cigarette, the ash falling into the cracks of the deck.
"Boss, this is exactly what the Holy Land wants to hide."
Shanks looked at the Sky Screen and didn't take a drink.
"I want to know too."
Yasopp asked.
What if the answer isn't nice to hear?
Shanks said.
"That's better than leaving it empty."
In the Sabaody Archipelago, Luffy put his Straw Hat back on and went back up.
Nami looked at him.
Aren't you worried?
Luffy said.
Shanks is Shanks.
Robin said softly.
The world isn't that simple.
Zoro looked up at the Sky Screen.
What the world thinks is none of our business.
Sanji said.
"If he really gets involved with the Celestial Dragons, the trouble will fall directly on Luffy's head."
Usopp held onto the railing.
"It's already been smashed, hasn't it?"
At Marine Headquarters, Sengoku sat back in his chair, his fingers lingering on the table for a long time.
"Destroying the bloodline attribute is a task that only the highest level of the Holy Land can perform."
Akainu said.
"The options haven't been revealed yet."
The crane looked at Garp.
Did you mark the box when you first saw it?
Garp recalls for a moment.
"Red circle."
The Sengoku Period.
What does the red circle represent in the Holy Land recycling level?
The crane turned the pages of an old book.
"Related to royalty, National Treasures, and forbidden experiments may be marked with a red circle."
"Akainu said coldly."
"They like to encapsulate all their sins in a single symbol."
The Sky Screen presents a problem.
[Question: Why was the bloodline information for the Red-Hair baby destroyed by the highest-level administrator?]
[A, because it involves the bloodline of a high-ranking Celestial Dragons family.]
[B, because of its inheritance connection with the God Valley National Treasure Record.]
[C, because his identity would expose the Holy Land's clandestine dealings in human hunting.]
[D, All of the above are possible, and the original file was deliberately split.]
Kizaru looks at option D on Future Island.
"I'm not going to give a straight answer to this question."
Kuzan said.
"The dismantling of the original files means that no one currently possesses the complete set."
Vegapunk nodded.
"Or someone is preventing the complete file from existing."
Sabo looked at the White Mask.
"You guys don't know either?"
The White Mask stared at the Sky Screen, his face grim.
All we know is that the Red-Hair is a forbidden target.
Bonney asked.
What does "avoidable objects" mean?
The White Mask said.
"We cannot kill them, we cannot openly arrest them, and we cannot allow them to approach the core of the Holy Land."
The dragon opened its mouth.
"That's why the World Government has had a special attitude towards Red-Hair in recent years."
The White Mask kept his mouth shut.
The Sky Screen brightened.
[Supplementary remarks have been recorded.]
"New World, "Benn Beckman said.
"D."
Shanks nodded.
"D."
Luffy also pressed D.
The answer to the Sengoku question is D.
Akainu did not hesitate.
"D."
The countdown ended quickly.
[Correct answer: D.]
[The Red-Hair baby's bloodline record was destroyed because it involved the bloodlines of high-ranking Celestial Dragons families, the inheritance of the God Valley National Treasure record, and the Holy Land hunting trade.]
[However, the original files have been deliberately dismantled.]
[Currently available for public viewing: three paragraphs.]
In the main hall of the Holy Land, the Five Elders' expressions changed simultaneously.
Saint Saturn said.
"We can't let the third paragraph come out."
Imu's voice came from behind the curtain.
"The third section will be sealed first."
The Sky Screen immediately flickered.
[Highest level of authority intervention detection.]
[The third paragraph is temporarily obscured by an unknown authority.]
[First paragraph revealed.]
The scene returns to before the battle at God Valley.
Inside a makeshift palace, Celestial Dragons nobles sat on either side of a long table.
On the table lay a list, jewelry, and island contracts.
A Holy Land scribe read aloud.
"This year's hunt includes additional bets: rare races, Ancient Energy samples, and family inheritance certificates."
One of the Celestial Dragons raised his hand.
"Can inheritance certificates be gambled on?"
The clerk bowed his head.
"With the permission of the highest level, the proceeds from the God Valley activities will be distributed as a family honor."
Another Celestial Dragons, holding a swaddled baby, spoke impatiently.
"Was that child registered too?"
"That's what the clerk said."
"If inheritance is involved, registration is mandatory."
A few red hairs peeked out from under the swaddling clothes.
On the deck in reality, Lucky Roux dropped the meat from his hand into the plate.
Yasopp cursed.
Benn Beckman looked at Shanks.
Shanks kept his eyes fixed on the Sky Screen.
In the scene, Celestial Dragons holding a baby hands the swaddled infant to his attendant.
"Take him away, don't let him get in the way."
The clerk wrote a line in the lineage column.
The Golden Light turned into a black patch here.
A notification appeared in the Sky Screen.
[Specific family names and lineage details were destroyed by the highest authority.]
[It can be confirmed that the Red-Hair baby is registered as belonging to a collateral branch of a high-ranking Celestial Dragons family.]
The incident caused an uproar around the world.
In Sabaody, Luffy frowned.
What is a side branch?
Robin said.
"This means that he was born into the Holy Land's view as part of the Celestial Dragons system."
Luffy said.
So what?
Nami looked at him.
You really don't beat around the bush at all.
Luffy said.
Shanks doesn't wear that bubble.
Rayleigh chuckled softly, looking down at himself.
Well said.
The Sky Screen continues to fall.
[Second paragraph revealed.]
The scene cuts to the basement of the island in God Valley.
The core energy fragments were placed in the center of the device.
Several doctors were arguing over the documents.
"National Treasure records require blood sample calibration."
"The test samples died too quickly."
"Using blood samples from infants of high-ranking families can mitigate some rejection."
The young Saint Saturn stood on the edge of the shadows.
"Who approved it?"
The doctor knelt down.
"There are available objects in the active betting pool."
Saint Saturn looked at the swaddling clothes.
"Record."
The doctor asked.
"Identity section?"
Saint Saturn said.
Keep it for now, destroy it later.
In reality, Bonney was trembling with anger.
"They even use it for babies?"
The bear placed its paws on her back.
Don't let their words take you to heart.
Sabo's temple throbbed with a bulging vein.
"God Valley is their testing ground."
"Vegapunk said in a low voice."
"Inherited blood sample calibration, which explains why the Index Fragment reacted to Shanks."
Kizaru asked.
"Doctor, is the Red-Hair the key?"
Vegapunk said.
"He was the one who was used to test the key."
Marine Headquarters, Akainu watches the screen.
"This is the Celestial Dragons."
The Sengoku Period.
"Write it down."
The crane is already writing.
"Every page is being backed up."
The Sky Screen text falls.
[The third section is blocked.]
[The obscured content involves trading partners during the Holy Land Hunt.]
[Insufficient permissions.]
In the Holy Land's main hall, Saint Saturn breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment, the Sky Screen brightened again.
[A fragment of the Straw Hat Lining Index was detected that resonates with the Red-Hair blood sample record.]
[Permission compensation triggered.]
[The third audio segment can be made public.]
Imu's voice came from behind the curtain.
"Cut off."
Nothing has changed.
The screen remains black.
Only sound was heard.
A woman's voice trembled.
"This child cannot remain in the God Valley."
Another aged voice said.
"He's been registered."
The woman said.
"Registration will kill him."
"It's an old voice asking."
"You're going to hide him in the transfer box?"
The woman said.
"Roger, Rocks, the Navy—anything but here."
The sound of a baby crying rang out.
The woman coaxed her softly.
"Don't make a sound, just survive."
Shanks finally managed to grab the gunwale.
Benn Beckman took a step closer but didn't touch him.
The sound from the Sky Screen continued.
"It's an old voice asking."
"May I have your name."
The woman remained silent for a long time.
Then only one sentence remained.
"Delete my name."
The curtain fell.
[End of the third paragraph.]
[The Red-Hair baby was once hidden in a transfer box by a woman from an unknown Holy Land.]
[The woman's identity was deliberately erased.]
[His actions were deemed to be in response to a minor victim.]
Shanks lowered his head, his Red-Hair obscuring half his face.
Lucky Roux opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Yasopp put the gun back behind his back.
Benn Beckman spoke.
"Boss."
Shanks looked up at the Sky Screen.
She saved me.
The Sky Screen responds.
[Yes.]
Luffy shouted at the screen.
Shanks, she's a good person!
Shanks, hearing those words across the ocean, finally smiled.
"Um."
Golden Light descended from the Sky Screen.
[Stage Determination.]
[Red-Haired Shanks's God Valley baby's identity confirmed.]
[The fact that the Celestial Dragons system is registered has been established.]
[It is established that it was used as the subject of the test calibration.]
[It is true that he was rescued by women from the Holy Land.]
[The original family name and rescuer's name cannot be recovered at this time.]
[Reward: The Red-Hair baby's file has been corrected from experimental subject to that of a minor victim of the God Valley.]
[Reward: The unidentified rescued woman will be added to the God Valley Victims and Rescuers Register.]
[Punishment: Public disclosure of the list of the Medical Department personnel involved in the infant blood sample testing.]
The name of the Holy Land 'Inner Court Medical Bureau began to scroll.
The full names of officials and doctors were enlarged.
Marine Headquarters, Akainu speaks.
"Recipient List"
The Sengoku Period.
"Received."
Crane added.
"They can't be transferred this time."
On Future Island, Vegapunk looked at the list.
"The follow-up project records of these individuals overlap with the Sapphire Scales Trial."
Sabo asked.
"Can we track down more victims?"
Vegapunk said.
"Able."
Bonney held the bear's paw.
"Then let's pursue it."
The bear nodded.
"Chase."
The Golden Light in the Sky Screen did not dissipate.
[The God Valley stage results are not yet complete.]
[Last item pending confirmation.]
[Question: After the Index of the Gate of Old Days God Valley was split, where are the remaining segments currently located, except for the Straw Hat fragment?]
Shanks looked up.
Rayleigh's finger paused beside the wine glass.
Garp looked at Sengoku.
The Sengoku frowned.
"There are also segments?"
The Sky Screen displays new options.
[A, carried by Red-Haired Shanks.]
[B, A section remains of the Laugh Tale reached by the Roger Pirates.]
[C, The World Government still possesses an Error Index.]
[D, All of the above.]
Luffy's eyes lit up.
"The Laugh Tale."
"Rayleigh said in a low voice."
"This question cannot be answered casually."
