Ka Mi Er Must Not Die

Ka Mi Er stood up, leaning against the wall, her burned arm hanging at her side.

Randall hid behind Horne, his throat tight.

"Horne Horn, he's protected by Sky Screen; the bullets couldn't penetrate it."

Horne didn't look at him.

"Protection is not a wall."

Ka Mi Er coughed and looked up at the Sky Screen.

Should I run away?

Akainu's voice came from the Sky Screen.

"Run if you can."

Ka Mi Er looked down at her legs.

"His leg is still there, but the Old Archive didn't leave the Gatekeeper an escape route."

The question from the Sengoku.

"Is there a backup passageway inside the Old Archive?"

Ka Mi Er leaned against the doorframe, enduring the burning pain in his arm, and pulled out the keychain.

"There's a chute for transporting waste paper that leads to the incineration well."

The crane spoke immediately.

"Don't go past the incinerator well."

Ka Mi Er smiled, but coughed halfway through.

"I didn't intend to send myself to be burned."

Words fall from the Sky Screen.

The Old Archive waste paper chute has been sealed off by the Holy Land.

[Available route: Maintenance corridor west of the Old Archive.]

[Risk: Must pass through the area where the Holy Knights is located.]

"Garp cursed."

"This is considered usable?"

Akainu looked at the communications officer.

Where are the naval outposts on the outskirts of the Holy Land now?

The communications soldier was covered in sweat.

"They were only four minutes from the outer wall of the Old Archive, but they were stopped by the Holy Land guards."

Akainu brought the Den Den Mushi closer.

Tell them that those who block the road are considered to be obstructing witness protection.

The communications soldier asked.

"Fleet Admiral, shall we fire?"

Akainu remained silent for a moment.

"First warn them; if the warning is ineffective, strike their legs."

Sengoku glanced at him.

"Now you know how to leave survivors."

Akainu returns.

"Witnesses must live, and those who obstruct the proceedings must also give statements."

Horne took a step forward in the Old Archive corridor.

"Ka Mi Er, hand over the memories in your head, and I might give you some dignity."

Ka Mi Er was panting.

"Your Holy Land say that to be respectable, you usually burn people's names as well."

Horne raised his sword.

Whether your name remains or not is decided by the Throne.

Ka Mi Er looked up at the Sky Screen.

"Sky Screen, has my name been registered?"

[Witness Ka Mi Er, name already registered.]

[The chain of testimonies has been backed up.]

Ka Mi Er nodded.

"Then I'll lose face."

Horne drew his sword.

The Golden Light blocked the sword's edge, and cracks were cut into the protective layer.

Sky Screen notice.

[The witness protection layer was attacked by high-level armed forces.]

[Remaining strength of the protective layer: 62%]

Randall's eyes widened.

"Can it be cut open?"

Horne said.

"Continue."

Ka Mi Er dragged his injured arm as he retreated towards the western maintenance corridor.

After taking two steps, his legs went weak and he bumped his back against the cabinet door.

"Damn, my arm hurts so much."

Bonney's voice came through.

"Ka Mi Er, don't sit down!"

Ka Mi Er looked up and saw Bonney standing next to the bear in the Sky Screen.

Where are you?

The bear placed its paw on Sabo's shoulder.

"Immediately."

Kizaru raised his hand on Future Island, and the remaining light trail stretched into a bright line in the air.

"I can only take you to the outer layer of the Old Archive; I can't guarantee where you'll land."

Sabo said.

"Just make sure it doesn't land on the sword."

Kizaru glanced at him.

"Your requirements are really low."

Vegapunk tossed a small disc to Sabo.

"Putting it on Ka Mi Er will stabilize the Sky Screen."

Sabo caught it.

Is there anything else?

Vegapunk through the boxes.

Do you think this is candy?

Bonney looked at the bear.

"Dad, I'm ready."

The bear nodded.

"Pay close attention."

The light swept over the three of them.

Outside the Old Archive, a naval unit was being held back at the foot of the steps by the Holy Land guards.

A naval lieutenant holds up the authorization order for the Sky Screen.

"We are under orders from Marine Headquarters to escort witness Ka Mi Er."

The Holy Land Guard Squad brandished his spear.

"The Old Archive is under the jurisdiction of the Holy Land; the navy is not allowed to enter."

The captain gritted his teeth.

"You are obstructing witness protection."

"That's what the guard captain said."

"The Navy is under the World Government."

Akainu's voice came through the captain's Den Den Mushi Akainu.

"Captain, state your name."

The captain stood at attention.

"Marine Headquarters Temporary Detachment Stationed Outside the Holy Land, Parker."

Akainu said.

"Parker, this is a warning."

Parker looked at the captain of the guard.

"Get out of the way."

The guard captain raised his gun.

"Not open."

Akainu said.

"Leg kick."

Parker closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again.

"Fire! Shoot the legs!"

Gunshots rang out from the outer wall of the Old Archive.

A row of Holy Land guards fell, their wails echoing down the corridor.

Randall turned pale upon hearing the gunshot.

"The Navy has gone mad."

Garp looked at the Sky Screen from Marineford.

"He should have gone crazy long ago."

Inside the Old Archive corridor, Horne's second sword fell, reducing the remaining protective layer to thirty-seven percent.

Ka Mi Er, supporting himself against the wall, moved toward the maintenance corridor.

"Hurry up, I'm not feeling well here."

Horne approached.

"No one can take the witness from the Old Archive."

The next moment, a flash of light appeared on the outer wall of the Old Archive.

Sabo landed at the entrance to the maintenance corridor, his boots slipped half a step, and he crashed directly into the wall.

"Kizaru really knows how to pick his landing spot."

Bonney landed safely, protected by the bear, and looked up to see Ka Mi Er.

"Ka Mi Er, this way!"

Ka Mi Er saw them and smiled.

"I thought it was the navy coming."

Sabo rushed over and placed the small disc on his shoulder.

"The Revolutionary Army also accepts witnesses."

The golden lettering on the Sky Screen descended.

[Witness protection stabilizer connected.]

[The protective layer has rebounded to 58%.]

Horne looked at Sabo.

"Chief of Staff the Revolutionary Army, you've been repeatedly sent to Holy Land; do you have a death wish?"

Sabo held the water pipe horizontally in front of him.

"You have too many witnesses from the Holy Land, there's no way to stop it."

Bonney went over to Ka Mi Er and put her other arm around him.

"Can you walk?"

Ka Mi Er looked at her.

"Shouldn't you be taking care of that child?"

Bonney said.

"She sent me to rescue you."

Ka Mi Er took a breath.

"I can't let my child down."

The bear stood in front, its paws outstretched.

I'll see you off.

Horne raised his sword.

You can't deliver it.

The other two men in white cloaks behind him simultaneously drew their weapons.

The Sky Screen markers appeared.

[Weier, Executor of the Holy Knights.]

[Taluo, Executor of the Holy Knights.]

Sabo looked at the bear.

Three.

"That's what the bear said."

"I'll block it."

Bonney snapped.

You've just recovered!

The bear looked at Horne.

"I promised to help save people."

Ka Mi Er interrupted.

"Why don't you save me first? Stop arguing about family matters here."

Bonney pulled him back.

"Shut up, save your energy."

Sabo chuckled.

"The witness is quite eloquent."

Horne swung his sword, Weier circled around Ka Mi Er from the side, Taluo charged straight at the bear.

Xiong unleashed Pressure Cannon with a single slap, forcing Taluo to stop.

Sabo's flames blocked Weier.

Bonney helped Ka Mi Er run towards the maintenance corridor.

Randall shouted from behind.

"They're trying to escape! Stop them!"

Bonney turned and glared at him.

"If you shout it again, I'll turn you into a baby and hand you over to the Navy for interrogation."

Randall fell silent for a moment, then retreated behind the pillar.

Ka Mi Er was panting.

"Your skills are well-suited for judging people."

Bonney said.

"Speak less."

At the end of the maintenance corridor, Parker led the navy in.

"The witness is here!"

Bonney shouted.

"Catch him!"

Parker and two marines stepped forward and restrained Ka Mi Er.

"Mr. Ka Mi Er, we are ordered to meet you."

Ka Mi Er looked at the marine uniform.

"You really came."

Parker said.

"Akainu Fleet Admiral has given the order."

Ka Mi Er gave a slight smirk.

"Then I'll criticize the navy less in the future."

Bonney turned around.

Sabo and the bear were still blocking the three knights in the corridor.

Horne's sword struck the edge of the protective layer again, and a notification popped up in the Sky Screen.

[The Holy Knights is shifting its target.]

[In addition to Ka Mi Er, the target is Bartholomew Bear and Jewelry Bonney.]

Bonney gritted her teeth.

"Another addition."

The bear turns its head.

Bonney, go with the Navy.

Bonney said.

"I'm not leaving."

Sabo used a water pipe to block Weier's short blade.

"Mr. Xiong, you already said that, it's useless."

Parker looked at Bonney.

"Miss Bonney, please leave first."

Bonney watched the bear's retreating figure.

"Ka Mi Er has received him; I'm taking Dad with me."

Ka Mi Er, supported by a marine, turned and called out.

"Mr. Bear, don't stay because of me!"

The bear slapped Taluo back and said in a deep voice.

You live with the evidence.

Upon hearing the word "evidence, "Horne turned his gaze to Ka Mi Er.

He must die.

Akainu's voice came.

"Parker, take the witnesses and remove them from the outer wall of the Old Archive."

Parker responded.

"Yes."

Ka Mi Er struggled.

What about them?

Parker said.

We will return to provide assistance.

Ka Mi Er cursed.

I've heard those kinds of things in the Holy Land.

Bonney suddenly tossed her Locator to Parker.

"Take him away; Sky Screen Cannon can track him."

Parker caught it.

"And you guys?"

Bonney turned and rushed back down the corridor.

"I'll go get my dad!"

Sky Screen notice.

[Witness Ka Mi Er's evacuation route has been established.]

[The Old Archive evidence chain is stable.]

[Warning, communication with the main team of the Holy Knights has been restored.]

A Den Den Den Mushi) made a soft ringing sound in Horne's ear.

He paused for a moment, then looked up at the Sky Screen.

"New order received."

Sabo frowned.

"What new command?"

Horne's sword tip turned toward the Black Gate deep within the Old Archive.

"The Throne commands: Abandon Ka Mi Er and activate Old Vault No. 2 to destroy evidence."

Vegapunk's expression changed on Future Island.

"Evidence Destroying Number Two?"

The White Mask prisoner raised his head, his lips trembling.

"It's not killing the witness, it's releasing what was sealed in the Old Archive."

The dragon stood beside him.

What is that?

The White Mask looked at the Black Gate in the Sky Screen.

"A failed attempt at the Corona Crown."

Deep within the Old Archive, the Red Mark on the Black Gate began to illuminate one by one.
