"Turn to me?"

Nami grabbed Luffy.

"Don't shout anything."

Luffy turned his head.

But they're running out of time.

Nami stared at the countdown on the Sky Screen.

"I know, but this isn't something that can be solved with a single punch."

Robin looked at the five names, his finger lightly tracing the surface of the paper.

"Non- Throne access means the confirmer must be compatible with the Old Days Index's access logic."

Usopp panicked.

"Then who's compatible? Luffy? Kuma? Shanks?"

Sanji held the cigarette in his hand, but didn't light it.

"Don't forget, Sky Screen said that choosing the wrong option will backfire on you."

Zoro looked at Luffy.

"If you want to go, explain why."

Luffy touched his Straw Hat.

I don't want them to die.

Nami gritted her teeth.

"That reason might be enough to start a fight, but it might not be enough to dismantle the Holy Land's machinery."

Rayleigh spoke.

"Don't rush."

He looked at Robin.

"Can you read the requirements for the confirmer in the Old Days Index?"

Robin flipped back to the fragments of the Straw Hat poem and the Red-Hair Segment.

"The gate recognizes those Bearer, not those who shed blood."

She looked up at the Sky Screen again.

"This time it's not about opening a door, it's about disconnecting Error Index, and perhaps that requires someone who can withstand the backlash."

On Future Island, Bonney grabs the bear's paw.

"Dad, don't go."

The bear looked down at her.

"If someone has to take the responsibility, I can."

Bonney immediately shook her head.

"You just got back."

S-Bear stood to the side.

"Protect the bear."

The bear crouched down, placing its large paws on S-Bear's shoulders.

"Thanks."

Vegapunk rapidly calculated the password structure, chanting it incessantly.

"No, we can't let the bear bear all the blame."

Kizaru asked.

"Why?"

Vegapunk said.

"The Buccaneer bloodline might be Error Index and identified as a carrier, potentially doubling the backlash."

Sabo looked at Luffy.

What about Luffy?

Vegapunk said.

"The holder of the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika will be identified as a Sun Vessel by the Corona Crown, and the False Sun System may attempt to forcibly lock onto him."

Long asked.

"Robin?"

Vegapunk shook his head.

"She is the interpreter, not the bearer. If she confirms this, the Error Index will identify her as the source of the archive, and the backlash will be of unknown nature."

Kizaru looked up at the Sky Screen.

"Where's the Red-Hair?"

Vegapunk remained silent for a moment.

"The Red-Hair was once used as a blood sample for calibration; the Corona Crown will recognize his blood."

Bonney understood.

Therefore, all five people are at risk.

The man in the White Mask leaned against the wall and suddenly chuckled.

Sabo looked over.

"Why are you laughing?"

The White Mask said.

"Because that's how the Holy Land was designed."

Long asked.

"What's the meaning?"

The White Mask said.

"They included everyone who could potentially save lives in the risk chain."

"Buccaneer is the carrier, Nika is the Sun Vessel, the Ohara scholar is the source of interpretation, the Red-Hair is the blood sample calibration, Bonney is the second-generation adaptation sample."

Bonney's fists trembled.

"Try saying 'sample' again."

The White Mask closed his mouth.

The countdown on the Sky Screen jumped to seven minutes.

At Marine Headquarters, Sengoku looked at the screen.

Is there a sixth way?

He looked through the maintenance password he had just received.

"The password requires a confirmer, but it doesn't say that multiple people can't share the responsibility."

Akainu looked up.

"Sky Screen, additional question."

The Sky Screen brightened.

[Marine Headquarters requests additional questions.]

[Allow.]

Akainu stood in the center of the plaza.

The question is, should a single person bear the brunt of the consequences of a remote disconnection?

The Golden Light in the Sky Screen paused for a moment.

[Additional question and answer generation.]

[Question: Can the remote disconnection confirmation of the Corona Crown Prototype be handled jointly by multiple individuals without Throne privileges?]

[A, No.]

[B, Yes, but a primary confirmer is required.]

[C, Yes, but requires confirmation from five people simultaneously.]

[D, Yes, but it must be initiated by someone who has been harmed by Error Index.]

Robin immediately looked up.

"You can't choose D for this question; it's too fast."

Nami said.

"Why?"

Robin said.

"Five people are counted as having been harmed by Error Index."

Vegapunk looked at the options.

The password structure includes a primary confirmation field and a secondary continuation field.

Kizaru asked.

"Is that B?"

Vegapunk said.

"It's also possible that C. all five names were listed simultaneously, not randomly."

The bear looked up at the Sky Screen.

"If five people confirm at the same time, can the risk be mitigated?"

The Sky Screen offered no reply.

Bonney looked at the options and suddenly spoke.

Choose C.

Sabo asked.

"Reason?"

Bonney pointed to the previously published text.

"Everyone Has Arrived, the doors were all opened."

She lifted her face.

"The Holy Land changed 'everyone' to 'sacrifice,' but the original meaning was that everyone should come together."

The bear looked at her.

Bonney.

Bonney said.

"They separated us one by one: Dad, Mom, Buccaneer, Red-Hair, Robin, Luffy."

"Then let's not separate."

Inside the maintenance bay on Future Island, no one spoke immediately.

The dragon nodded.

"The Revolutionary Army chooses C."

Vegapunk slapped his forehead.

"Yes, it was Everyone Has Arrived."

Kizaru raised his hand.

"Then I also support C, even though I'm not on the list."

Kuzan walked out from beside the ice wall.

"The Navy review panel chose C."

At Marine Headquarters, Tsuru looked at Akainu.

"That was a good question."

Akainu didn't respond to that sentence.

"This department chooses C."

The Warring Sengoku period was confirmed.

C.

Shanks looked at the crew.

What do you say?

Benn Beckman said.

"You're already at the station."

Yasopp and cursed.

"Can we still drag you out?"

Lucky Roux lifted the meat.

"Choose C, boss, don't shoulder the burden alone."

Shanks pressed C.

At Sabaody, Luffy also pressed C.

"This is it."

Nami didn't stop her.

"You pressed the right button this time."

After Robin pressed C, his finger did not leave the button.

"I hope I'm right."

Countdown to zero.

[End of quiz.]

[Correct answer: C.]

[Remote disconnection of the Corona Crown Prototype can be confirmed simultaneously by five individuals without Throne privileges, who will share the backlash from the Error Index.]

[Trigger condition: All five participants must volunteer.]

[Currently eligible: Bartholomew Kuma, Jewelry Bonney, Monkey D. Luffy, Nico Robin, Red-Haired Shanks.]

Bonney froze.

"Me too?"

The White Mask said in a low voice.

"Second-generation adaptation sample."

The bear looked at him.

The man in the White Mask bowed his head.

"I'll shut up."

Vegapunk explained.

Bonney doesn't qualify because of their definition; she's someone who was hurt by the Error Index, and someone who can deny it.

Bonney looked at the bear.

"Daddy, I want to do it."

"That's what the bear said."

"It will hurt."

Bonney answered quickly.

"I know."

The bear was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Then let's do it together."

In Sabaody, Robin looked at her companions.

"I need to confirm that too."

Luffy said.

"Certainly."

Nami grabbed her wrist.

"Will it hurt you?"

Robin said.

"There was nothing I could do when they burned Ohara."

She looked up at the Sky Screen.

"We can do a little now."

Sanji said.

Don't be reckless.

Robin smiled.

"I have a partner."

Luffy his hand.

"I confirm that as well."

Usopp was pulling at his hair.

"Luffy, wait a minute! We don't even know what the backlash is yet."

Luffy said.

"It hurts, so it hurts."

Chopper shouted.

"I can heal!"

"Zoro said."

"Just don't die."

Nami glared at him.

Can't you speak properly?

Zoro turned his face away.

Then don't fall down.

In the New World, Shanks placed his hand on the metal plate.

"I confirm."

Benn Beckman said.

"Boss."

Shanks looked up at the Sky Screen.

"The person who put me in the box chose to let me live."

"This time it's my turn to shut the door out of the Holy Land's hands."

The Golden Light from the Sky Screen enveloped all five people at the same time.

[Five people voluntarily confirmed their participation.]

[Remote connection disconnection initiated.]

[Countdown: 30 seconds.]

Old Archive of the Holy Land, the Corona Crown Prototype trembled violently.

The Red Mark climbed back towards the underground energy network, but was intercepted by five Golden Lights.

Red Marks appeared on Luffy's arm, and he gritted his teeth in pain.

Nami shouted urgently.

"Luffy!"

Luffy up.

I'm fine!

Ancient Script flickered across the back of Robin's hand. She grabbed the edge of the table, Chopper immediately pounced on her.

"Robin!"

"Robin said in a low voice."

"Continue."

On Future Island, remnants of an old program lit up on the bear's chest, and blue scales appeared on Bonney's arms.

The bear reached out to block her.

Bonney pushed his hand away.

No one is allowed to block the way.

The bear looked at her and nodded.

"Good."

A red glow spread across Shanks' shoulders, and Benn Beckman reached out and pressed down on the hem of his cape.

"Can it still hold on?"

Shanks smiled.

"It's lighter than having your hand bitten off by the Lord of the Coast."

"Yasopp cursed."

Don't tell lame jokes at this time.

Ten seconds left on the countdown.

Ka Mi Er, the Old Archive garrison commander, saw Red Mark retreat back inside the door and collapsed to the ground.

In the underground slave quarters, the heat from the iron rings dissipated.

A child looked up.

"It's stopped."

The older laborer covered his mouth.

"Look at the Sky Screen."

[Five.]

[Four.]

[Three.]

The crown ring on the Corona Crown Prototype cracked.

Vegapunk shouted.

"A final revision record will be released before the connection is successfully severed!"

[Two.]

Behind the curtain, Imu raised his hand.

[One.]

Sky Screen Golden Light shone through the Black Gate of the Old Archive.

[Remote connection successfully disconnected.]

[The Corona Crown Prototype has been disconnected from the underground energy network.]

[The backlash and transfer have ended.]

The five Golden Light dissipated.

Luffy, rubbing his arm.

"It hurts."

Nami punched him on the head.

"Laughing through pain!"

Robin was supported by Chopper, and the shadow of the words on her palm faded away.

"I'm fine."

On Future Island, Bonney nestled in the bear's arms, her forehead covered in sweat.

"Dad, is it over?"

The bear looked up at the Sky Screen.

"Not yet."

Shanks looked up.

The video is still playing on the Sky Screen.

The last revision record before the Old Archive was disconnected was pulled out of the Corona Crown Prototype by Golden Light.

The Five Elders are not in the picture.

There are only the steps in front of the Empty Throne.

A hand placed the Error Index beneath the Throne.

The man spoke.

"If the crowds arrive, the king is no longer a king."

"So, let them always believe that opening the door requires a dead person."

The world fell silent.

The Sky Screen provides the judgment.

[Error Index Third Reviser Audio Recording Recovery.]

[His identity remains hidden.]

[However, the voiceprint is highly consistent with the current holder of the Empty Throne.]

Inside the main hall of the Holy Land, all Five Elders knelt down.

The shadow behind the curtain stood up.

The Sky Screen never stopped.

[Preparation for the final question in the God Valley stage.]

[Question: Why must the current holder of the Empty Throne prevent the opening of the Gate of Old Days?]

Luffy looked up.

Robin's pen fell onto the table.

Shanks gripped the hilt of his sword.

He gave Bonney a big hug.

The option for Sky Screen begins to appear.

[A, Behind the door lies the truth behind the usurpation of the Empty Throne.]

[B, Behind the door lies the last witness mechanism of the Ancient Kingdom.]

[C, The door behind it proves that the Sun Will has never been extinguished.]

[D, All of the above.]
