Laughter Has No Date of Death
Play it again.
Robin approached the Den Den Mushi.
Akainu ordered the archivists to return.
The laughter resumed after the note was inserted into the verification page.
"Hehehe."
Luffy immediately said, "It's the laughter of a living person."
Usopp chimed in from behind.
How can you tell the difference between laughter from the living and the dead?
"Living people breathe."
Chopper squeezes into the frame.
"He took his last breath just now, and there was a chest murmur; he may have been injured."
Robin asked, "Can you tell the time?"
"We can only confirm that he was alive when the recording was taken."
Kuzan said, "That laughter wasn't in the note I received."
Akainu inspects the source of the files.
"It's hidden on the back of Saul's death report, with the same structure as Lin Qi's Death Page just now."
Unanswered, it crawled to the side of the page.
The Black Line circles the date of death and stops in a Blank cell.
[Undelivered live confirmation]
Lin Qi asked, "Who is the recipient?"
Begin filling in the Blank spaces.
[Nicole Robin]
Robin did not reach out to take it.
"If Saul wanted to contact me, why did he leave the record in the Navy Archives?"
Kuzan replied, "It's probably not what he left behind."
The laughter was real.
The person who recorded the laughter may not have been him.
Robin flipped the note over.
There were a few specks of mud on its back, and its color was reddish.
There's no such soil near Elbaf.
Nami asked, "Do you know him?"
"The soil in the underground library of the Tree of Knowledge is mixed with the ash from burned paper."
Akainu retrieved the Ohara cleanup records.
"After the Buster Call ended, the Navy did not enter the area beneath the Tree of Knowledge; the site was handled by the World Government's recovery team."
"The library has collapsed."
"Where's the lake?"
Robin looked up.
Akainu flips over the island and cleans it up.
The lake Tree of Knowledge was marked as worthless ruins and was not salvaged.
Kuzan spoke.
"The scholar threw the book into the lake before the shelling."
Robin asked, "You saw it?"
"I saw it."
Why wasn't it included in the report?
Spandine didn't ask.
"You didn't say either."
"Right."
I heard the sound of a cup being placed back on the table next to the Den Den Mushi.
Robin retrieved the Old Map of the Tree of Knowledge.
"The first place Saul passed through after escaping from the ice was the lake."
He was injured and couldn't take many books with him.
"How much a giant can take away is different from how much a human can take."
Nami looked at the record of surviving for the sixth year.
Six years is enough time to get the book elsewhere.
Akainu continued his investigation.
"Six years after the destruction of Ohara, the World Government intercepted a giant ship without a flag, which was loaded with a large number of wet books."
Where are they?
"The ship disappeared at the edge of the Calm Belt; the pursuing warships reported encountering Sea Kings."
Luffy became interested.
"The Calm Belt?"
Nami immediately said, "Don't even think about going."
I haven't said anything yet.
"You just open your mouth and you want to go."
Robin ignored the two of them.
"Was there laughter in the pursuit report?"
"Have."
Akainu released the recording of the Den Den Mushi from that time.
The Navy ordered the giant ships to cease operations.
The person on the other end didn't answer with their name, only asked one question.
Do you guys even know how to read?
The Navy issued another warning.
The giant laughed.
"If you don't know how to watch it, don't bother following it, it'll be a disaster, hehehe."
The recording has ended.
Chopper called out from beside the Den Den Mushi, "Same breathing rhythm as before!"
Usopp asked, "You can even tell the rhythm of laughter?"
"I am a doctor."
Robin overlapped the two recordings.
The waveforms are not exactly the same, but the ending notes have the same pause.
He survived the Buster Call.
"Live for at least six years."
Akainu did not write out the entire conclusion.
The Throne Page then immediately displayed a rebuttal.
[Audio recordings can be faked]
[Identities of the Giant Ship crew have not been confirmed]
[The conclusion of Haguwar D. Saul's death remains in effect]
Nami asked, "A single photograph from afar can confirm death, but two audio recordings can't confirm life?"
"Because the death certificate has already been filed."
He immediately wrote it down on the paper Unanswered.
Completion cannot replace facts.
Lin Qi added this sentence to the verification rules.
Voting for the Throne has not yet been opened.
The new restrictive clauses have appeared under Saul's name.
[If Nico Robin is restored to her surviving state, she will regain her Ohara Scholar relationship.]
[The number of crimes for which a bounty has been placed will automatically increase.]
Luffy put down the meat he was holding.
How much more?
Akainu glanced at it.
"The bounty for illegally inheriting forbidden knowledge will be recalculated based on the size of the Ohara data."
"A book is a book, why is it being attributed to Robin?"
"Because the World Government believes that Saul's Book of Salvation was meant to be given to her."
Robin said, "They want to use me to force Saul to continue dying."
Kuzan asked, "What are you going to choose?"
Whom do you want me to give up this time?
There are no two options this time.
"It's clear enough on the page: if he's alive, I have one more crime to commit."
"You care about the bounty?"
I'm worried that the Straw Hat Pirates might be surrounded and wiped out prematurely because of this.
Luffy immediately replied, "I don't care."
"Just because the captain doesn't care doesn't mean the others don't need to eat."
Nami nodded.
"Offering a bounty would increase trouble, but we won't let a living person remain dead just to avoid some trouble."
Usopp peeked out from behind.
Can I ask how much more I'm adding first?
Sanji pushed him away.
"It doesn't matter how many, of course we have to take care of Robin-chan's affairs."
"I was just doing a risk assessment!"
Zoro leaned against the side of the ship.
"Find the giant and ask him to whom the book was given."
Luffy patted his Straw Hat.
"Yes, that's what we'll do."
Robin watched them argue for a few moments, then turned to Lin Qi.
"Write the question and answer separately."
How to divide it?
"Whether Saul is alive or not is determined solely by evidence and is not linked to my charges."
"Where are Ohara's books?"
"The whereabouts of the book will be investigated further; it cannot be assumed that it belongs to me."
Lin Qi wrote down the fourth option.
[D: Revoke the death conclusion without confirmation of the remains; verification of survival cannot implicate Robin in any crime; books and knowledge do not automatically incur inheritance liability due to rescue actions.]
The five seats were approved in turn.
Saul's date of death has been crossed out.
The status has been changed to "missing, questionable".
No new bounty charges have been added to Robin's list.
The Navy's pending files now include an investigation into the illegal destruction of books from Ohara.
Akainu looked at the document.
"The artillery orders and the research content of scholars need to be handled separately."
Long said, "There's no need to wait for the research findings to be verified before massacring civilians."
"The case regarding liability for the refugee boat has been filed."
"It's been 22 years since the case was filed, how long are you planning to keep this up?"
"At least this time it won't stop."
The two were still communicating when the smiley face on the note began to move.
It followed the blueprints of the Tree of Knowledge to the lakeside.
A series of huge footprints emerged from the bottom of the lake.
The footprints lead to the shore.
On the outer coast, someone had written down a packing list in giant script.
Robin read them aloud one by one.
"Four hundred and twenty boxes of history-related items."
"170 boxes of language-related items."
"Medicine and Navigation, 93 boxes."
"And Dr. Clover's final research notes."
The receiving address is not specified at the end of the list.
Only one reminder was left.
When Little Robin came to pick up the book, the first thing he asked her was whether she had made any friends over the years.
Luffy leaned against the Den Den Mushi.
"Submitted!"
The smiley face on the paper turned in one direction.
Its mouth split open, spitting out a tree seed that had been preserved for twenty-two years.
The tree species is engraved with the old port number of Elbaf.
A new shipping date followed by the serial number.
Just three days ago.
