Lumi Refuses

"I dare."

Lumi said that, all the whispers about the Scrap Platform were taken in by the Sky Screen.

Dr. Eve held her shoulders, her eyes reddening with anxiety.

"Lumi, you don't need to answer. The doctor can apply for protection for you."

Lumi shook her head.

"They used to write so many words for me, but I didn't like any of them."

Bonney knelt down in front of her.

Do you know what happens after you refuse?

Lumi looked at the Red Mark at the feet of the Silver-Helmed Knight.

"It will hurt."

The bear stood in front of her, its palm facing the three knights.

"Leave the pain to me."

Lumi grabbed Bonney's sleeve.

Uncle Bear has been in pain many times already.

The Little Bear, clutching the file box, climbed up, a dent appearing on its chest armor.

"It hurts, I won't give it to Daddy."

Bonney's nose tingled, and she reached out to touch the Little Bear's head.

"Then let's all do it together."

Sabo lays the water pipe horizontally.

"Answer the questions first."

The dragon speaks in the scene on Future Island.

"D."

Akainu also pressed down.

"D."

Shanks stared at Garling.

"D."

Luffy shouted.

"D!"

The Sky Screen was revealed.

[Correct answer: D.]

[Lumi's Old Transfer Order was abolished under the following conditions: the On-Site Executing Knights was defeated, the Original Transfer Order was destroyed, Lumi herself publicly refused.]

[Countdown: Four minutes.]

The Silver-Helmed Knight raised his sword.

"Let's try to keep her from saying it."

Sabo blocked his way.

"Give it a try."

The other two knights split up, one rushing towards the file box in the Little Bear's arms, and the other circling around to Lumi.

The bear raises its paw, Pressure Cannon blocks the left side.

Bonney raised her hand towards the knight on her right.

"Growing old."

The knight's arm skin quickly loosened, and his steps faltered.

Sabo seized the opportunity and slammed the pipe into the silver helmet's breastplate.

The silver-armored figure took a half step back, the emblem on its chest gleaming.

"Chief of Staff the Revolutionary Army, you can't stop the main force."

Sabo returned.

I don't intend to win an argument with you.

Flames rose beneath his feet, leaving red marks on the iron plate.

I'll take care of beating you down.

On the outer ring of the Holy Land, Garling watched the battle on the Scrap Platform, his hand on the hilt of his sword never loosening.

Shanks asked.

Aren't you going to save them?

Garling said.

"Even if Executor dies on a mission, they are still Executor."

Shanks sneered.

"You even use your own people as fodder."

Garling looked up.

Pirates have no right to judge order.

Benn Beckman was changing ammunition nearby.

"Captain, he's dragging you."

Shanks said.

"I know."

Garling drew his sword again.

This time, the slash was aimed directly at the deck beneath Shanks' feet.

Shanks swung his sword to intercept, a long gash appeared in the bow plank, and one of the Red Hair Pirates' flag ropes snapped.

Lucky Roux lunged forward and grabbed the flag rope.

"The flag must not fall."

Yasopp cursed.

"That old man's hands were really dirty."

Shanks looked at Garling in the Sky Screen.

"Are you afraid I'll go there?"

Garling said.

You can't get through this.

Shanks raised his sword.

"Then let's try it."

At the exit of Sabaody, the Main Gate beneath the tower was finally opened one floor.

Usopp lay sprawled in front of the gate, sweat dripping from his chin onto the screws.

"Seventy-nine, seventy-nine, Ka Mi Er, don't get it wrong."

Ka Mi Er shouted from the Old Archive.

"I've been managing this place for twenty years, and you doubt me?"

Nami flips through the keybook.

"There's a second code."

Robin reminded him.

"Third group suffix."

Ka Mi Er said.

The suffix is "33".

Usopp's finger stopped.

"Three three?"

Ka Mi Er roars.

"Three threes, two threes!"

Usopp pressed down.

The gate box lit up with a green light.

[East Main Gate Level One open.]

Shakky looked towards the street corner.

"The Inner Gate is still missing."

A knight broke through Koby's defenses and pointed his gun at the retreating crowd.

Tashigi used the back of her knife to deflect the muzzle of his gun.

Your opponent is here.

The knight said coldly.

"Naval soldiers, stand back."

Koby charged in from the side.

"We have been assigned a witness protection mission."

Luffy stretched out his arm and dragged the other knight back, slamming him into the wall.

"Don't get in the way of other people getting home!"

Zoro cleaved the outer iron chain of the tower.

"Usopp, hurry up!"

Usopp looked miserable.

"I want to be quick too; this lock is even more troublesome than Franky's toolbox."

Franky carried the wounded soldier from behind.

"Hey, don't put my toolbox with the Holy Land lock-picking area."

Sanji kicked the knight aside and turned back to urge him on.

"Long nose, slow down, the tea'll get cold."

Nami shouted angrily.

"What time is it and you're still talking about tea!"

Robin's arm extended from the inside of the gate box.

"The Inner Gate has Corruption Mark."

Ka Mi Er's voice was strained.

"Don't touch the Red Mark."

Luffy turned his head.

"How do I drive it?"

Ka Mi Er spoke, panting.

"Gatekeeper confirmation required."

Parker helped him up.

"You still want to open the door remotely?"

Ka Mi Er looked up at the Sky Screen.

"I still have my hand."

Words fall from the Sky Screen.

[Gatekeeper Remote Confirmation to be available.]

[Risk: Contamination may attempt to rewrite Ka Mi Er's Permission Record.]

Ka Mi Er shouted towards Akainu's direction.

"Fleet Admiral, turn the backup log to maximum."

Akainu responded.

"Open."

He added.

If you say anything wrong, we will correct you.

Ka Mi Er chuckled.

"Then I'm relieved."

On the Scrap Platform, Lumi stood under the Golden Light of the Sky Screen.

Dr. Eve stopped her.

"Let them defeat the knight first."

Lumi said.

The countdown is on.

Mia took the file box from the Little Bear's arms and took out the Original Transfer Order.

"The original is here, but it's Sealing Wax with the Knights' wax."

Bonney asked.

"Can't we just burn it?"

Mia shook her head.

"If the Sealing Wax is not removed, burning will trigger Backup Transfer."

Vegapunk jumped up.

"Don't burn it yet, let the Sky Screen be Sealing Wax first as a witness."

Sky Screen display.

[Removal of the Sealing Wax requires the original holder or the victim to refuse simultaneous action.]

Sabo dodged Silver Helmet's sword and took the opportunity to shout.

"Lumi, did you hear that?"

Lumi nodded.

"I heard you."

Silver Helmet suddenly abandoned Sabo and Lumi.

"Shut up."

The bear stood in the middle, its palm pressing against the sword.

She has something to say.

Silver Helmet gritted his teeth.

"Bartholomew Kuma, you are no longer Shichibukai."

The bear answered.

"I am the father."

Bonney stood behind the bear and placed her hand on Lumi's shoulder.

"Explain."

Lumi looked at the Sky Screen, and Red Mark appeared on the cooling pipe connector at her feet, causing her knee to bend in pain.

Dr. Eve tried to help her up, but she grabbed her hand.

My name is Lumi.

Recorded by the Golden Light of the Sky Screen.

[Name confirmed.]

Lumi took a couple of breaths.

"I am not a sample of adolescent adaptation."

Red Mark crept up her neck, Bonney placed her hand on it, and the veins stood out.

"Continue."

Lumi's tears fell, but she didn't close her eyes.

"I refuse to hand it over to the Knights."

The Sealing Wax cracked.

Mia immediately unfolded the Original Transfer Order.

"It can be destroyed now!"

The Little Bear raised its hand.

"I'll do it."

Bonney looked at the dent in its chest.

"Little Bear."

The Little Bear said.

"Evidence uploaded; damaged paper, destroyed."

Mia handed it the transfer order.

A laser lights up in the Little Bear's paw, cutting the Sealing Wax and paper into black ash.

Words fall from the Sky Screen.

[Condition 2 is established.]

[Condition three is established.]

[Remaining condition: Defeat the On-Site Executing Knights.]

Sabo smiled.

"That makes things simple."

The silver-helmeted warrior roared.

"Impossible!"

The bear's Pressure Cannon exploded in front of his chest, creating a shockwave.

Bonney raised her hand, causing his knee joint to age for a moment.

Sabo stepped onto the iron plate, and the water pipe, still burning, slammed into the side of the silver helmet.

The silver helmet overturned and rolled several meters away.

The other two knights wanted to retreat.

The Little Bear blocked one.

"Lumi, protect her."

The bear blocked the other one.

"Take a statement."

Sabo looked up at the Sky Screen.

"The Sky Screen, the constraint."

[Three On-Site Executing Knights; their combat abilities have been disabled.]

[The Old Transfer Order by Lumi is repealed.]

[Record corrected: Lumi is a survivor of the involuntary experiments at the Holy Land and is currently under the protection of the witness Protection Chain.]

Lumi's knees buckled, and Bonney caught her.

I'm done talking.

Bonney hugged her tightly.

"That's all."

Dr. Eve knelt beside her to examine the interface.

"The Red Mark have faded, they've faded."

Mia sat down on the ground, clutching the empty box, and only after a long pause did she manage to utter a curse.

"I will never organize archives for the Holy Land again."

The Sabaody export process and Ka Mi Er's remote confirmation have entered their final stage.

Red Mark stretched from the edge of the Sky Screen towards his forehead.

Parker said urgently.

"Mr. Ka Mi Er."

Ka Mi Er stared at the Main Gate screen.

"East Inner Gate the old transport line, Gatekeeper confirmed, open."

Red Mark tried to drown out his voice.

An old record appeared on the Sky Screen.

Ka Mi Er never accepted the witness evacuation mission.

Ka Mi Er spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Fart."

Akainu immediately spoke.

"Marine Headquarters records indicate that Ka Mi Er was a witness to the evacuation mission."

"Dragon said."

"Revolutionary Army Records: Ka Mi Er is a witness for the Old Archive."

Luffy shouted.

"He just opened the door for us!"

Shakky chimed in.

He saved these people.

The Red Marks faded.

[Pollution rewriting failed.]

[The inner Inner Gate on the east side is open.]

The exit from Sabaody is now fully open.

The workers rushed to the back gate of the coating plant.

Luffy around and laughed loudly.

"It's open!"

But the next moment, heavy footsteps came from the Holy Land's elevator shaft.

The four knights who were blocked retreated simultaneously and knelt on one knee.

Zoro gripped his sword tightly.

"Another one?"

The red text on the Sky Screen fell.

[The Holy Knights and lieutenant arrive at the exit of Sabaody.]

[Objective: Recapture the Old Archive laborers from the evacuation crowd.]

Shakky turned around and saw the old man with gray hair leaning against the wall.

Dan looked up blankly.

"I?"

On the outer ring of the Holy Land, Garling watched this scene and finally spoke.

"Red-Hair, you protected the child."

His blade was pointed at Sabaody.

What about the old man?
