Collateral Branch Inheritance Record
Shanks stared at the four options on the Sky Screen, his hand still resting on the glowing metal plate.
Benn Beckman took the cigarette away from his mouth.
"Boss, don't choose the wrong one."
Yasopp stared at Ge Lan's face.
"That guy's scared."
Ge Lan stood at the top of the Medical Department's waste staircase, sword in hand, blood dripping from his chin into his collar.
"Red-Hair, don't think Sky Screen can fabricate an identity for you."
Shanks chuckled, removed his hand from the metal plate, and then pressed it back down.
"I also want to know how they portrayed me back then."
Luffy shouted from inside the Underground Transport Line.
Shanks, which one do you choose?
Shanks looked up at the Sky Screen.
"If I had full inheritance rights, Captain Roger would throw me overboard for brainwashing."
Buggy was looking at the Sky Screen somewhere, his nose almost touching the screen.
"Hey, Red-Hair, don't pretend you know everything. You couldn't even find your socks when you were a kid!"
Shanks raised his hand and pressed it towards C.
I choose C.
Benn Beckman pressed the button simultaneously.
The Red Hair Pirates chose C.
Rayleigh blocked Soma's spear in the underground passage and glanced back.
I also choose C.
Soma sneered.
"Even a remnant of bloodline dares to challenge the Knights' orders."
Robin glanced at the empty token at his waist.
"You just tried to restore communication, which means the interference was effective."
Soma spun his gun, forcing Sanji half a step.
"How long will it last? Enough for you to die a few times."
Golden Light spread Sky Screen.
[Correct answer: C.]
[The Figarland branch of Red-Haired Shanks's Collateral Branch Inheritance Record was destroyed.]
[This record is insufficient to take over the Holy Knights.]
[Can briefly disrupt the Throne Command Chain of Collateral Branch Executor.]
A ring of gold patterns appeared on Ge Lan's wrist, and the tip of his sword deviated half an inch from the entrance to the Cold Storage Room.
He gritted his teeth and pulled the sword back.
"An invalid record? You dare interfere with me?"
Shanks looked at him.
"Don't shake it if it's ineffective."
Ge Lan looked up.
Do you dare come to the Holy Land?
Shanks put the metal plate into his palm, and the blood on the back of his hand flowed down his wrist bone to his sleeve.
"Ask me again when you can walk out of the Medical Department alive."
The words continued to fall from the Sky Screen.
[Interference Window enabled.]
[Target: Ge Lan, Collateral Branch Executor of the Holy Knights.]
[Duration: Three minutes.]
[Restriction: Ge Lan can still move freely, but cannot receive new orders from the Throne.]
Bonney grabbed Mia's hand and shoved her behind Sabo.
"Mia, take the file with you."
Mia shook her head.
There are still people underground.
Bonney pointed at Sabo.
He will protect you.
Sabo looked at the bear.
"Mr. Xiong, is three minutes enough?"
The bear opened its palms.
"Enough to get in."
Ge Lan strode forward, his sword pointing directly at the entrance to the Cold Storage Room aisle.
"Do you think I won't kill just because I don't receive orders?"
Bonney yelled at him.
"That means you chose to kill yourself."
Ge Lan's eye twitched, and he pointed the sword at Bonney.
"You're not qualified to talk about choice."
A paw print appeared on the bear's paw.
She is my daughter.
Sabo's flames coiled around the water pipe.
"They were also protected by the Revolutionary Army."
Bonney shoved the Locator into Mia's arms.
"Take it, don't lose it."
Mia was clutching the files and the Locator, her lips bleeding from being bitten.
"I can run."
Sabo reached out his hand to her.
"Follow me for two floors. When we get to the Scrap Platform, I'll have the undercover agent pick you up."
Mia looked at Bonney.
Will you come back?
Bonney didn't look at her; her eyes were fixed on Ge Lan.
"Meeting."
Ge Lan let out a short laugh.
"Throne Communications will be restored in three minutes. You won't even be able to take the bodies with you."
Underground in Sabaody, Soma's expression changed upon hearing the correct answer.
Rayleigh deflected his spear.
"It seems that people from the collateral branches don't like others bringing up the past."
Soma said.
"Pluton, you can't protect this thread."
Nami called out from behind.
"The first group has already left, the second group is still around the corner."
Chopper, carrying a medicine box, was helping an old man with iron rings on his legs.
"Luffy, don't let him catch up!"
Luffy looked at Soma.
"I know."
Zoro held his sword horizontally at his shoulder.
"Go and fetch the men; the old man and we are here."
Luffy isn't leaving.
He just said they are property.
Sanji cursed.
"You can beat him up, but don't smash up the exit."
Robin picked up an old iron plaque from the wall, which read "Holy Land Transport Gate Number Three".
"Luffy, his order failed after the witness left."
Luffy turned to look at the crowd that was still running.
A little girl dragged an iron hoop, took a few steps, fell down, got up again, and followed Usopp.
Luffy pulled his fist back.
"Then I'll let them out first."
Soma raised his gun.
You can't leave.
Rayleigh's sword blocked the spear tip.
"Don't rush, young man, I'll stay with you."
Soma looked at Rayleigh.
You're getting old.
Rayleigh said.
Even when they're old, they can still block the door.
The Sky Screen illuminated the Underground Transport Line.
[Progress of the Underground Evacuation Route: the first batch of victims has left.]
[The second batch is nearing export.]
[Warning: The Holy Land Guard Squad has begun sealing off the outer streets of Sabaody.]
Shakky stood outside the warehouse, a cigarette dangling from her lips, and waved to the Coating Workers.
"Hold the door open, don't let the person inside get stuck."
Koby helps a child up.
"Marine soldier, go to the street corner and stop them!"
Tashigi draws her sword.
"By a provisional order from the Navy Independent Review Group, the old Sabaody shipping route exits are now under protection."
A Holy Land Garrison Officer came running from the end of the street.
"Your navy has no right to interfere with the transfer of Holy Land property!"
Tashigi pointed the tip of her knife at the ground.
Please use a different word.
Koby stood next to her.
"They are victims and witnesses."
The garrison officer looked at the Sky Screen, then at the laborers running out of the warehouse.
You will be held accountable.
Shakky exhaled smoke.
"Let's live until the day we're held accountable."
Inside the Medical Department, Ge Lan was forced back against the wall by a single blow from Xiong.
The wall caved in, and pebbles rolled to his feet.
He raised his sword again, Sabo intercepted him from the side.
Bonney had already rushed to the door of the Cold Storage Room.
The red light on the door was flashing, and the countdown had only four minutes and nine seconds left.
[Cold Storage Room self-destruct countdown: 4 minutes and 9 seconds.]
Vegapunk slammed his fist on the table on Future Island.
"Bonney, don't bang on the door! There are Cryogenic Maintenance Pipe in the Cold Storage Room; if they break, the people inside will die first."
Bonney turned her head in a panic.
"How do I drive it?"
Mia called out from behind Sabo.
"The Access Card is with Ge Lan!"
Upon hearing this, Ge Lan reached for his chest, intending to crush the card.
Shanks's interference pattern lit up, and Ge Lan's finger paused for a moment at his chest.
The bear raises its paw.
"Sabo."
Sabo kicked Ge Lan's wrist, and the Access Card flew out.
Bonney lunged forward and caught it, the back of her hand brushing against the ground.
She pressed the card against the door.
The red light turned yellow.
[Insufficient permissions.]
Bonney cursed.
Here we go again!
Mia shouted.
"Further confirmation from the Medical Department's archivist is required!"
Sabo turned his head.
"Mia!"
Mia ran back carrying the file.
Ge Lan chased after her with his sword.
The bear stood in the middle, its paws pressed against the sword.
"Your opponent is me."
Anger burned in Ge Lan's eyes.
"Remnants of the Buccaneer clique."
"That's what the bear said."
"I've heard that too many times."
Mia placed her hand on the doorframe, while her other hand protected the file.
"Mia, the archivist at the Medical Department, requests the emergency opening of the Cold Storage Room."
Mechanical sounds came from inside the door.
The red light is off.
The door opened slightly, and white mist poured out.
Bonney reached for the door.
"Hold on, we'll save you right away."
The golden characters on the Sky Screen simultaneously descended.
[Hidden witness location confirmed.]
[Two doctors from the Medical Department.]
[A minor survivor of an experiment.]
[Warning: The Cold Storage Room compartment's self-destruct valve has been manually activated.]
Ge Lan's sword tip picked up a small black card from the ground.
He stepped on the small sign and looked up at Bonney.
"You open the door, I'll close it from the inside."
