Transmigrator Anomaly Record
"Can't broadcast?"
Upon hearing Lin Qi's words, Vegapunk nearly dropped his pen into the keyboard. He looked up at the Sky Screen, speaking so quickly that Hina beside him frowned. "What do you mean 'can't play'? The question-setting permission source segment has already been triggered; the system won't withdraw it without reason."
Lin Qi reached out to press cancel in the Foosha Village Tavern, but the screen was locked tight, and even the mouse could only spin around outside the red prompt.
He looked up at the Sky Screen, his tone dry and curt. "My personal privacy, you understand?"
Nami immediately became alert. "Don't you still have a bill to pay?"
Lin Qi turned to look at the screen in her direction. "Miss Nami, could you please stop thinking of me as so down-to-earth?"
Usopp shrank back. "That's worse than owing money."
Robin's expression turned serious as he looked at the words "[Transmigrator Anomaly Record]". "Mr. Lin Qi, you're not from this world?"
Makino, who was helping the villagers retreat at the Tavern entrance, slowed down upon hearing this.
The Village Chief looked at Lin Qi and tapped the ground with his cane. "Where did you come from, kid?"
Lin Qi stared at the screens displaying the world's lights, leaned back in his chair, and after a long pause, finally managed to stammer, "Out of town."
Garp laughed out loud at Marineford. "Out of town? So far out of town it's recorded in the Sky Screen Records?"
Sengoku didn't laugh. His face darkened as he looked at the message. "If Lin Qi comes from beyond this world, the Holy Land will use that as a reason for elimination."
Akainu asked directly, "Sky Screen, does being a transmigrator constitute a crime?"
The system did not respond, but the black light from the Throne pressed down first.
[Additional cuts to the Throne]
[Question: Should extraterrestrial anomalies be considered the highest source of contamination and eliminated?]
[A. Yes]
[B. Yes, but all memories need to be retrieved]
[C. Yes, if it interferes with history]
[D. No, abnormal identity does not constitute grounds for removal; specific actions must be reviewed.]
Garling looked at Lin Qi, finally revealing the closest he'd come to satisfaction since the trial began. "You see, the world won't protect something of unknown origin."
Luffy exploded on the spot. "D! Lin Qi is Lin Qi, what do you mean by 'foreigner'!"
Nami grabbed him. "Let Robin finish speaking first."
Robin didn't choose immediately. She looked at the question, her voice carrying clearly across the Sky Screen, "The trap in this question lies in the words 'source of pollution,' it tries to define one's origin as a sin."
Lin Qi looked at Robin and removed his finger from the cancel button.
Robin continued, "The answer should be D: examine the behavior, not the birth."
Akainu continued stamping his seal. "Marine Headquarters, D."
The staff officer said urgently, "Fleet Admiral, he might not be a human from this world."
Akainu looked at him. "Then what about those in the Holy Land who turn people into materials?"
The staff officer fell silent.
Crane added a clause, "Abnormal identity does not constitute grounds for deletion; any memory retrieval requires the individual's consent and public review."
Dragon confirms option D. "The Revolutionary Army, D, is not authorized to kill on the Throne outside the world."
Shanks looked at Lin Qi, a complex emotion in his eyes, but he didn't lower his sword. "Red Hair Pirates, D."
Benn Beckman whispered, "Boss, how will you know the future if you don't ask him?"
Shanks said, "Ask, but don't let Garling kill you first."
Bonney raised her hand. "D, the Throne doesn't even treat the people of this world as human beings, so what are you pretending to be Gatekeeper for now?"
The bear whispered, "D."
Lumi hugged her coat. "D, Mr. Lin Qi gave me my name. Where he comes from is not under the Throne's jurisdiction."
Dan shouted, "D, I've never seen Throne protecting the world underground, I've only seen it locking doors."
Ka Mi Er holds up his placard. "D, the Gatekeeper's testimony: the Throne cannot be silenced under the pretext of anomalies."
As Lin Qi watched the vote count continue to rise, the joke he had prepared to make remained unspoken.
Makino walked into the Tavern and placed a glass of water beside him. "Drink this first."
Lin Qi looked at the glass of water. "Aren't you going to ask?"
Makino looked at him. "Ask them again when they stop killing you."
Lin Qi reached out and touched the side of the cup; the hot water made him pull his hand back, but he then pretended nothing had happened and picked up the cup again. "Thank you."
The Sky Screen curtain has been lowered.
[Answer: D]
[Abnormal identity does not constitute grounds for deletion]
[The Transmigrator Anomaly Records can only be used as material for access control review.]
[It is forbidden to use this identity for pre-emptive erasure, memory retrieval, or public execution.]
The satisfaction on Garling's face vanished, and the black lines on the Chief Adjudication Platform surged as he forcefully pulled back the source clip that was about to be played.
"Play."
The Golden Light and black patterns in the Sky Screen tore apart, and the picture finally opened.
There was no massive rift, nor did any deity descend.
The scene depicts a rented room in an unfamiliar city. On the table are piles of instant noodle boxes and an old keyboard. Young Lin Qi is hunched over a computer, and old scenes from the One Piece world are playing on the screen. He types while yawning.
If the whole world had known the truth before the Paramount War, would this unfortunate situation have been changed?
The screen rotates, the computer screen goes black, and a golden pop-up window appears.
[Should I become a question setter for the God's Live-Streaming Q&A System?]
Young Lin Qi rubbed his eyes. "What kind of advertisement is this? It looks pretty convincing."
He clicked "confirm".
The next scene is of East Blue Foosha Village, where Lin Qi wakes up in the backyard of Tavern, still clutching a Blank question card in his hand. He falls next to a barrel of wine and looks up to see Makino push the door open and come in.
Makino froze in the video. "Who are you?"
Young Lin Qi looked completely bewildered, and his first question was, "Excuse me, is there internet here?"
Inside the Foosha Village Tavern, Makino watched the scene unfold, trying to suppress her laughter, but finally turned away and smiled.
Lin Qi covered his face. "This was really unnecessary."
Luffy at the exit of Sabaody, then burst into laughter, clutching his stomach. "Hahaha, Lin Qi, you just got here and you're already asking what the net is?"
Nami sighed, "He actually thought it was an advertisement."
Usopp pointed to the instant noodle box in the picture. "What kind of food is that? It doesn't look healthy."
Sanji frowned. "You can eat that too?"
Robin, however, looked at the first line. "His initial problem was that he wanted to change the Paramount War."
Vegapunk recorded the scene. "The triggering of the time travel and the binding with the system were accidental; he initially lacked the understanding of world-class influence."
Akainu said coldly, "In other words, the so-called ultimate source of pollution for the Throne was initially just an ordinary person who was mistakenly identified."
Lin Qi lowered his hand. "The term 'ordinary person' sounds especially familiar today."
The scene continues, showing Lin Qi seeing the Sky Screen feedback for the first time in the Tavern. He drinks beer, staring at the reactions from all over the world on the screen, his face initially showing excitement, but then slowly putting down his beer glass when he sees Garp's breakdown and Whitebeard's rage.
The young man stared at the screen and muttered, "This can't be real, can it?"
In the Foosha Village Tavern, Lin Qi didn't say another word.
Robin said softly, "He only realized the true impact after the first round."
The Sky Screen will decide.
[Access permission source fragment publicly available]
[Fact 1: Lin Qi is an extraterrestrial anomaly]
[Fact 2: There was a misidentification in its initial binding]
[Fact 3: In subsequent Q&A sessions, they have repeatedly taken the initiative to protect the victims and the evidence]
[Review Conclusion: Cannot be removed; further review of liability for conduct is possible]
Different voices began to emerge around the world: some were fearful, some questioned, and others spoke out for the Foosha Village and the Holy Land witnesses.
Garling did not give these voices time to ferment.
He plunged the knife deep into the Chief Adjudication Platform, the black seal of the Throne creeping up the blade and covering the entire disc.
[Final Purge Throne Removal Request]
[Target: Lin Qi, current holder of question-setting authority in the God's Live-Streaming Q&A System]
[Reason: Its existence continuously undermines the authority of the Throne]
The Golden Light in the Sky Screen was immediately intercepted.
[This reason does not qualify for public review.]
Garling looked up. "I don't need legal authorization."
A dull cracking sound came from below the Chief Adjudication Platform. A black crack appeared in the ground of the outer ring of the Holy Land, and a phantom spear with Crown Patterns emerged from the crack. The spear tip pierced through the Sky Screen and locked onto Lin Qi in the Foosha Village Tavern.
Vegapunk cried out, "It bypassed the question and answer, and directly projected the Throne Weapon!"
Kizaru raised his hand, light gathering and dissipating in his palm. "Not enough distance."
Shanks his sword. "I'll stop them."
Benn Beckman held him down. "Try it again, or the old pattern will break."
Luffy had already put his Straw Hat on his head. "Lin Qi, lie down!"
Lin Qi looked at the Black Spear piercing through the Sky Screen, then at the last line of notification that popped up on his computer.
[The question setter may initiate Final Countermeasure Question once]
[Price: The authority to set questions is temporarily transferred to the World Witness Seat]
He stopped joking and didn't look at the couple outside the door; he simply placed his hand on the confirmation button.
"Then let the world set the question."
Before the Black Spear pierced the Tavern, Sky Screen Golden Light filled the entire sky.
[Final Countermeasure Question Initiated]
[Question: Does the Throne have the right to remove those who expose wrongdoing if its authority is undermined?]
Before the options even appeared, the Black Spear was already at Lin Qi's brow.
