East Blue Cup Voices

Don't let the cup count itself.

Robin pressed her pen onto the map of the old warehouse in Loguetown. The ink smudged next to the three characters "East Blue," but she didn't wipe it away. She simply pushed the area marked in red to Lin Qi.

"Hundreds and thousands of cups responded simultaneously; the Throne doesn't want a cry for help, it wants to turn that cry for help into a disaster."

Akainu stared at the countless dots of light on the Sky Screen, the shadow of his military cap falling beneath his brow bone, a scorch mark etched around the armrest beside him.

"All naval branches are prohibited from opening warehouses without authorization. No area may be cleared under the pretext of a riot without prior authorization from Sky Screen."

The dragon's cloak billowed in the wind as he turned to give an order to the secondary screen.

"The Revolutionary Army's covert agents only protect people, not witnesses. If they hear the Cup Voice, they first block the road, then find a place to witness it."

Buggy stared at the cup, his face turning from pale to white, then from white to red.

"Where would East Blue get so many cups? I only have a few delivery ships. If anyone asks me to deliver water to them one by one, I'll stuff East Tax Nine into a cup first."

Shanks didn't look at him, but simply placed his glass on the table.

"Deliver what you can first, and leave the rest to the vote."

Buggy opened and closed his mouth, then slammed the ledger down to his deputy.

"Remember this clearly: it's a relief account, not an outstanding debt. I've been ripped off once before, I won't be ripped off a second time."

Lin Qi looked at the computer screen. The keycaps still had splinters of wood stuck in their cracks. He reached out and brushed them aside, and the input box lit up.

[East Blue Cup Voices General Verification Questions ]

[Question: Can the simultaneous Cup Voice appearing in the ledgers of various locations in the East Blue be directly defined by the Throne or the East People's General Ledger as system noise, local unrest, or unusual noises from unclaimed property?]

[A. Yes, excessive Cup Voice should be considered noise.]

[B. Yes, local stability is a priority]

[C. Valid Cup Voice can be filtered by East People's General Ledger]

[D. No, all Cup Voice should first be registered as potential victims seeking help or as evidence of injury, and verified according to the level of danger. The Throne is prohibited from using the pretext of mass production for cleanup.]

Nami pressed down on the Clima-Tact, her gaze falling on the Ju Bei on Cocoyasi's side.

"D."

Akainu continues.

"Navy Seat, D."

Longdao: "Revolutionary Army Seat, D."

Makino closed the Foosha Village ledger, but her palm remained on the cover.

"Civilian Witness Seat, D, too many cries for help shouldn't turn into noise."

Lumi watched as the medic took the lamp away, her face still pale, but she answered without hesitation.

"Victim Seat, D."

Buggy gritted his teeth and pressed down.

"Pirate Joint Seat D, let me state first, I didn't make the noise with the cup."

[Answer: D]

The chaotic dots on the East Blue map are layered by Golden Light. The brightest layer connects to the old warehouse in Loguetown, the second layer spreads out along the drifting line on the coast, and the third layer sinks into the old tax offices and public service counters in various places. There are still a number of dark dots without a place, only retaining the rhythm.

Mia pressed the headphones closer together, her hands flipping through the codebook faster and faster.

"The first batch were live cries for help, short in rhythm and irregular in intervals, as if they were afraid of being heard."

She changed her tune after saying that.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I've been trained not to be able to complete the entire sequence."

Naji, wrapped in a blanket, raised his head.

"They taught us that a complete SOS will sound cool, while a shorter one will only get you a bad score."

Ju Bei held the cup and gently tapped it once.

Mia listened with her head down.

"Ju Bei saying goes, a place with lots of Cup Voice doesn't necessarily mean a lot of people; it might just mean one person is being broken up into many accounts."

Robin immediately looked up.

"Split Ledger."

Vegapunk zoomed in on the East Blue map projection, and several Cup Voice began to intersect.

"Control over the same victim could be split across multiple local accounts, and if each region provides its own relief, it will tear the person apart."

Buggy's quill broke in his hand with a snap.

"Then let's not each save our own people. Whoever tries to save someone else will have to pay with their life."

Akainu ignored him and gave the order directly to Momonga.

"With Loguetown as the main control point, all East Blue Branch will only provide peripheral protection and will not touch the source of the cup."

The dragon also spoke at the same time.

"The Revolutionary Army's East Blue branch has ceased its independent breaching of the gate and has transmitted the list of local witnesses to Sky Screen."

Lin Qi typed in the second question.

[Split Ledger Rescue Order Question]

[Question: When the Cup Voice or records of the same victim are suspected of being split across multiple locations, are rescue teams in different locations allowed to simultaneously and forcibly open the relevant account boxes, tax boxes, or floating boxes?]

[A. Permission granted, the sooner the better]

[B. Permission granted, to be determined by local authorities]

[C. Dispatch by East People's General Ledger]

[D. Forced simultaneous activation is not allowed. A unified index should be established first to confirm the Split Ledger relationship of the same person. Then, multiple parties should witness the release in the order of protection. It is forbidden to tear apart one's identity and life support.]

"D."

Nami didn't wait for anyone else; as soon as she finished speaking, a group of villagers from Cocoyasi shouted the same word.

Akainu looked at the civilians, his brow furrowing even deeper.

"Navy Seat, D."

Dragon Path: "D."

Makino said, "D."

Lumi said, "D."

Buggy raised his hand.

"D, anyone who tries to steal credit, I'll send their contribution to the bottom of the sea."

[Answer: D]

The East Blue Cup points were extracted into an index, but the central node did not display the name; only the three characters "old" appeared.

[General Cup Rack]

The pages on Void Seven's body made a screeching sound as they turned. He pressed down on the page, the edge of the paper cutting his fingertip, but the scraps of paper didn't draw blood.

"The General Cup Rack' is not a person's name; it's the platform upon which the second batch of East Blue Void King Attendant carried."

Luo Ya leaned against the White Door, his voice hoarse.

"The first batch was the key, the second batch was the cup holder; the Throne is turning living people into part of the system."

The voice from behind the Black Gate finally subsided.

"Mistake."

The illusory image of the abacus in East People's General Ledger reappeared, and the abacus beads fell into the General Cup Rack, turning into tiny cups.

"The East Blue Cup Voices is an anomaly affecting people's livelihoods; if it is not brought under unified management by the central government, it will trigger a spread of disaster."

Nami gave a cold laugh, spinning the Clima-Tact once in her palm before stopping.

"What you mean by unified takeover is simply stuffing people into Tax Token, listing children as 'differences,' and registering sea Chao Bei in Empty Household."

The voice from behind the Black Gate did not respond to Nami, but a Throne inscription appeared on the Sky Screen.

[Throne Temporary Takeover Proposal]

[Question: To prevent the spread of the East Blue Cup Voices, should the East People's General Ledger temporarily take over all Cup Voice, suspend external rescue efforts, and release the results only after internal stability is achieved?]

[A. Should be taken over]

[B. Rescue efforts should be suspended]

[C. The cleanup team should be designated by the Throne.]

Option D is blank.

Buggy jumped up as soon as he saw it.

"Another empty D, does this guy not know how to count the four options?"

Lin Qi placed his fingers on the keyboard, and Makino looked at him first.

"Fix it."

Lin Qi typed.

[D. It should not be taken over. The East People's General Ledger is the interface involved in the case, and its unilateral dispatching rights should be frozen. The Cup Voice node should be established with multiple witnesses to create a rescue index. The Throne should not suspend rescue or internal cleanup on the grounds of dissemination.]

Akainu said, "Navy Seat, D."

Dragon Path: "D."

Makino said, "D."

Lumi said, "D."

Buggy stuck the broken pen onto the table.

"D, I'll keep adding options to it until it retires."

[Answer: D]

The abacus beads on the General Cup Rack were sealed by Golden Light, and the three abnormal links of the East People's General Ledger lit up at the same time. In the deepest part, below the old warehouse of Loguetown, a thin crack appeared where the eight Ledger-Clearing Cups had landed.

There was no sound of water or wind coming from the crack; only a child was slowly scraping the ground with the bottom of a cup.

Mia stopped flipping through the codebook in her hands.

He said there was another layer below.

Nami looked at East Tax Nine.

You just said eight cups.

The ledger on East Tax Nine's chest was open, and the Black Line that had been lifted was lifted up a little more, revealing the first stroke of his old name.

I know eight Ledger-Clearing Cups.

He looked down into the crack in the old warehouse floor; the numbers behind the lenses were fading away, one by one.

"But I didn't know that under the General Cup Rack, there was also the East Tax Ten."
