Red Markings of the Old Vault
"Back off!"
After the official in charge finished speaking, he took a half step back.
The guard with the Red Mark on his arm looked at him.
"My lord, save me!"
Officials caught Den Den Mushi).
"Contamination has been detected in the Old Archive; isolation is requested."
A cold, hard command came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
"Seal the gate; guards are not allowed to leave their posts."
Upon hearing this, the guard's face gradually drained of color.
"Sir, I'm just a gatekeeper."
The sound of chains from inside the Old Archive door grew closer.
Red Mark crawled from his arms to his shoulders, and steam rose from the seams of his armor.
The countdown on the Sky Screen has reached zero.
[End of quiz.]
[Correct answer: D.]
[After the World Government's Old Archive initiates Error Index verification, the backlash will primarily be transferred to the Holy Land slaves, lower-level laborers, and ordinary guards.]
The Five Elders have the authority to shift risks to later stages.
[This permission is from the third reviser's note in the Error Index.]
Inside the Great Hall of Mary Geoise, the expressions of the Five Elders all changed.
Saint Saturn immediately spoke.
"Stop verification."
Saint Nusjuro said.
"The Old Archive has responded automatically."
Saint Warcury looked behind the curtain.
"Your Majesty, should we shut down the underground energy network?"
Imu did not answer immediately.
Then the Sky Screen lit up.
[Risk transfer detected]
[Whether the chain of transfer of responsibility is publicly disclosed.]
[Victim Priority Protection Protocol Initiated.]
Beneath the Holy Land site, a row of slaves were pushing a massive winch.
The iron rings on their ankles gleamed Red Mark.
Someone fell down, and someone nearby tried to help, but was whipped by the guard.
"Stand up!"
The man looked up at the scene in the sky.
"Is the Sky Screen watching us?"
Another older worker helped him up.
"Don't speak."
Red Mark crawled down from the ground and climbed up the chains to their ankles.
Golden Light descended from the Sky Screen, momentarily obscuring the Red Mark.
[Emergency protection coverage is insufficient.]
[Temporary extensions require external answers.]
[Question: Why did the risk of backlash from the Old Archive shift to slaves and laborers?]
[A, Due to Error Index, citizens' blood donations were written to the verification process.]
[B, because the underground energy network of the Holy Land is maintained by slave labor.]
[C, Due to the Five Elders reserving the authority to postpone due to risk.]
[D, All of the above.]
"Future Island, "Vegapunk almost roared.
"D!"
Kizaru looked at him.
"Doctor, is it okay to skip the calculation this time?"
Vegapunk picked up the toolbox, his fingers flying across the switches.
"What's the big deal? The answer lies in the chains on their feet."
Sabo also pressed D.
"Mr. Long."
The dragon looked up at the scene beneath the Holy Land ground.
"All members of the Revolutionary Army choose D."
At Marine Headquarters, Sengoku stands in front of Den Den Mushi).
"This department chooses D."
Akainu adds.
"All naval divisions answered the question simultaneously; the answer is D."
The crane raised its eyes.
"You want the entire navy to participate in protecting the Holy Land slaves?"
Akainu said.
"They are human beings."
Garp looked at him.
That's well said.
Akainu didn't look at Garp.
Don't praise me.
Sabaody, Luffy pressed down hard on D.
"Save them."
Nami said.
"Sky Screen says it needs external quizzes for protection; the more participants, the better."
Usopp immediately shouted towards the Port.
"Everyone, choose D! Hurry up!"
Merchants, Coating Workers, and fleeing travelers in Sabaody all looked up at the sky.
Some people hesitated.
"Those are people from the Holy Land."
Rayleigh stood up.
"Those who are chained up cannot be considered people of the Holy Land."
Shakky stubbed out her cigarette.
Choose D.
Inside the Foosha Village Tavern, the agent in the floral shirt stared at Lin Qi.
"Boss, will you choose?"
Lin Qi was arranging the wine glasses in a row.
"Choose! Why not choose?"
The floral shirt asked.
Do you know which one to choose?
Lin Qi looked disgusted.
"Do you even need to know? The questions are so easy, even a fool could choose all of them."
He reached out and tapped the edge of the computer screen.
The system message indicated that only he could see it.
[The host participates in a quiz for ordinary viewers.]
[Stealth rating slightly increased.]
He observed his hands while wearing a floral shirt.
"The boss is quite familiar with Sky Screen."
Lin Qi pushed a glass of wine towards him.
"You stare at the sky every day, you know it well."
Another agent asked.
Aren't you afraid of the World Government?
Lin Qi pointed to the slaves in the Sky Screen.
"I'm afraid of owing money for drinks."
He paused, then added.
"I'm also afraid of seeing people burned to death by iron chains."
He didn't ask about the floral shirt again.
Countdown is over.
[End of quiz.]
[Global accuracy rate: 91%]
[Temporary protection extension.]
[Holy Land Underground Slave District, Lower Labor District, Ordinary Guard District: Backlash Transfer Paused for 15 Minutes.]
Beneath the Holy Land ground, the Red Mark rested on the edge of the iron ring.
The laborer who had fallen to the ground raised his head, and the Golden Light of the Sky Screen enveloped his ankles.
"It's stopped."
The person next to him touched the iron chain with trembling hands.
"It's really stopped."
At the Old Archive gate, the Red Mark on the guard's arm also stopped.
He knelt on the ground, panting heavily.
The officer in charge, however, picked up a gun.
"Ordered to isolate the contaminated individuals."
The guard looked up.
"Grown ups?"
The gun was pointed at his forehead.
A flash of Golden Light appeared in the Sky Screen.
[Standard guards are currently under protection.]
[Executing victims under the guise of isolation will trigger a public flag.]
The official stopped holding his gun.
His face was magnified in the live stream.
[Ka Mi Er, Garrison Commander of the Old Archive of the Holy Land.]
[Current action: attempting to execute the guard whose risk has been shifted.]
His name has been seen all over the world.
Ka Mi Er's hand trembled, and the muzzle of the gun slowly dropped.
"I'm just following orders."
Akainu said coldly from headquarters.
I'm tired of hearing that.
Sengoku looked at the communications soldier.
Record the name of the Old Archive garrison commander.
"The crane said."
"Recorded."
The Sky Screen shifts the view to the Old Archive.
The door was not open, but the interior was illuminated by Golden Light.
A black metal plate was placed in the center, surrounded by dozens of pipes.
The other end of the pipeline leads to an underground energy grid.
Next to the metal plate, there is an unfinished crown-shaped device.
Vegapunk stared at the thing, his face grim.
"Corona Crown Prototype."
Kizaru asked.
"Can it be stopped remotely?"
Vegapunk said.
"Access is granted in the Holy Land."
The White Mask suddenly spoke.
There is a maintenance password.
Sabo turned his head.
"Explain."
The White Mask licked his chapped lips.
"The password is in three parts, but I only know one part."
Bonney asked.
What about the other two sections?
The White Mask looked up at the Sky Screen.
"One piece is in the hands of the Old Archive garrison commander, and the other piece is a backup at the Five Elders Medical Department."
Vegapunk shouted immediately.
"Sky Screen, requesting the extraction of Q&A."
Sky Screen Response.
[Emergency Rescue Q&A Session Now Open.]
[Question: Where are the three maintenance codes for the Corona Crown Prototype currently located?]
[A, CP0 execution layer.]
[B, Old Archive garrison commander.]
[C, Backup of the Holy Land Medical Department.]
[D, All of the above.]
Nami slams her hand on the table.
"D again?"
Usopp said.
"I'm afraid of D now."
Robin shook his head.
"It might not be a trap; this time they're verifying the source of the password."
Luffy has already pressed the button.
"D."
Shanks looked up at the Sky Screen.
"Benn Beckman."
Benn Beckman said.
"D."
The Marine Headquarters also made its selection simultaneously.
The countdown is very short.
[Correct answer: D.]
[Answer questions for a reward; three maintenance commands will be temporarily displayed for ten seconds.]
[WARNING: The Holy Land will attempt to destroy the backup after it is made public.]
[Please have the relevant parties record this.]
Vegapunk picked up his pen.
"Prepare!"
Kizaru raised his hand, and the points of light wove together in the air to form a text recording screen.
The White Mask closed his eyes.
I will read the part I know.
The countdown began on the Sky Screen.
[Ten.]
Inside the Holy Land Medical Department, a doctor rushes toward a filing cabinet, holding Fire Pistol in his hand.
[Nine.]
At Marine Headquarters, Akainu picked up Den Den Mushi.
"Back up all receiving departments."
[Eight.]
On Future Island, Vegapunk stared at the Sky Screen.
[Seven.]
Ka Mi Er, the Old Archive garrison commander, was marked with Golden Light, and the key at his waist automatically floated up.
[Six.]
The person in the White Mask spoke and read the first paragraph.
"Corona exterior maintenance, number 732."
[Five.]
The second part of the Sky Screen was revealed.
"Old Archive pipeline backflow, valve sequence: red, white, black."
[Four.]
The doctor from the Medical Department pulled the Fire Pistol, and Golden Light blocked the flames.
[Three.]
The third paragraph appears.
"Core disconnect permission requires confirmation from a non- Throne level."
Vegapunk finished copying and immediately looked up.
"Not authorized by the Throne?"
"That's what the bear said."
"Who can confirm this?"
The golden lettering on the Sky Screen descended.
[Those who can be confirmed are not registered as members of the Throne System by the World Government.]
[Currently eligible: Bartholomew Kuma, Jewelry Bonney, Monkey D. Luffy, Nico Robin, Red-Haired Shanks.]
In the Holy Land Old Archive, the Corona Crown Prototype emits a low hum.
[Remaining 15-minute protection period: 9 minutes]
[Please select a non- Throne privilege holder to perform a remote disconnect.]
All shots simultaneously cut to five people.
Luffy up.
"I'll do it?"
Bonney looked at the bear.
"Dad."
Shanks gripped the hilt of his sword.
Robin's pen stopped on the paper.
A line of text was added to the Sky Screen.
[If the confirmer makes the wrong choice, the backlash will be directed at the confirmer.]
