A Father's Debts Cannot Be Passed to His Son

I've seen this bill before.

Drake pushed the tarpaulin bundle to the corner of the cabin.

Sengoku asked, "When?"

"Third year in the Navy."

Who showed it to you?

"Recruiting Examiner."

Akainu pulled up Drake's enlistment records from back then, and seven pages were missing from Drake's review, one of which was just a torn corner.

The review results stated that there were no debts incurred by immediate family members.

"Someone deleted it for me."

"Who?"

Drake looked at the coat.

"Now I know."

The silent record Rosinante left in his clothes, covering part of the debt page, prevented the Navy Archives from being transferred.

After the records were found again on the Throne, old grievances resurfaced.

[Arms Smuggling]

[Illegal trade in Devil Fruits ]

[Plundering thirteen towns in the North Blue]

[Related death toll: 214]

Each item has an additional column for the recipient.

Their names are all written as X. Drake.

Buggy shook his head after reading it.

"After all these years as a pirate, this is the first time I've seen a pirate's legacy be passed down to his son."

Akainu said, "This clause is included in the World Government's human repatriation provisions."

"If your navy can't catch me, can you catch my future son?"

"Have a son first, then we'll talk."

Is it a question of whether or not it exists?

Makino flipped to the end of the terms and conditions.

"It states here that only immediate family members who inherit property or organizations will assume corresponding responsibilities."

Drake said, "I didn't take anything."

The system quickly generated a list of assets.

A sunken Pirate Ship.

Three boxes of weapons that have already been sold.

An Op-Op Fruit that Luo ate.

There is also a debt of 270,000 Beli under Dies's name.

Luo looked at the list.

"The Op-Op Fruit are considered property?"

"The transaction is not yet complete; ownership remains in Barrels's name."

"I ate the fruit."

Drake turned to look at him.

Don't answer it.

"I wasn't planning on accepting it; I was just asking how far these rules could go."

Lin Qi wrote the verification request next to the property page.

Did Drake inherit Barrels's pirate crew?

[None]

"Did you receive any weapons or money?"

[None]

"Were you involved in the trade of Op-Op Fruits?"

[None]

"Then there is no basis for transferring it."

Instead of removing the debt page from the Throne, the throne played the last recording of Barrels before his death.

Gunshots rang out from inside the warehouse.

Leaning against the wooden crate, Dies shouted to his men, "Don't let Drake get back to the ship!"

Luo asked, "Is there more to this?"

Drake turned his head toward the sea.

"Release them."

You don't have to listen.

"Put."

Recording continues.

One of his subordinates asked, "Isn't the young master still on the island? Aren't we going to bring him back?"

Dees picked up the gun from the ground.

"If he dares to run away, he shouldn't come back."

"The area outside is full of the Donquixote Family members."

That's his business.

He will die.

Dees loaded the gun with bullets.

"If he dies, I won't have to take care of him."

There was nothing else in the record.

Sengoku closed the document in his hand.

The debt page quotes the first sentence, asserting that he ordered his men to protect you before his death.

"Delete the last part, and the meaning completely changes."

Drake said, "The previous examiners told me the same thing."

What did he say?

He said my father was thinking of me even on his deathbed, and told me not to dwell too much on the past.

The small boat passed under a reef, and Izo bumped it. He quickly turned the rudder.

Drake steadied himself on the edge of the table until the ship was back to its normal position before picking up the debt sheet.

"He hit me, took my weapons, and locked me in the warehouse."

"Later, he got weaker and couldn't play anymore, so I had to guard the goal for him."

His last words were, "Don't let me go back to the ship," and he didn't intend to save me.

The Throne Page provides three processing options.

[A: Inheriting the father's guilt and obtaining the right to dispose of the property]

[B: Abandoning kinship and being exonerated from criminal liability]

[C: Using naval achievements to offset the father's crimes]

Drake finished reading and put the paper back on the table.

I won't choose.

Lin Qi asked, "How do I write the fourth item?"

"Keep the family ties."

"You still want to acknowledge him?"

"He is my father, and that cannot be changed."

Drake pointed to the list of culpability.

Don't change what he did.

"I won't pay it for him, much less use my naval achievements to launder his debts."

Luo said, "Add one more."

Drake looked at him.

Being hurt by your father doesn't mean you have to deny his existence to prove your innocence.

Lin Qi combined the two sentences into the fourth item.

The five seats were confirmed in turn.

When the Navy Seat was finally placed, Akainu issued another investigation order, demanding a re-verification of all direct subordinate compensation files.

Drake's name began to peel off the debt pages.

The Op-Op Fruit was also separated from Barrels's property and changed into an unfinished transaction item, with its current status described as the ability user's autonomous continuation.

Luo read it once.

What does "autonomous survival" mean?

Vegapunk replied, "It means that as long as you're alive, the fruit is on you, and no one can take it back from you with an old deal."

"At least that's human language."

The final debt was removed from Drake's name.

The "relatives" section has not disappeared.

[Father: Diaz Barrels]

[Relationship Status: Dead]

[Inheritance of culpability: None]

Drake collapses the page.

"That's fine."

Sengoku said, "The inspector from back then is still in the navy."

Don't look for him.

He deleted seven pages of your review materials.

"Without those seven pages, I couldn't have joined the Navy."

"That doesn't mean he can lie to you."

"Then ask him why he deleted it."

Sengoku, someone was instructed to connect the line to the retired personnel in North Blue.

The Den Den Mushi rang several times, but no one answered.

The system's status update indicated that the censor had passed away six years ago.

However, there was an unmailed letter in the belongings section.

The recipient is Drake.

Sengoku asked, "Shall we open it?"

Drake shook his head.

"Send it to me first."

"You don't want to see the content?"

"Think."

"Then why not watch it now?"

"I've heard enough about dead people today."

The small boat sailed out of the reef area, and a submarine without a flag appeared on the sea.

Izo recognized the other person's signal.

"It's a support ship."

Drake did not relax.

"The Polar Tang will take another six hours."

"This is not their ship."

The submarine opposite opened its hatch, and a person wearing a navy cloak stepped out.

He raised his hands to indicate that he was not carrying any weapons.

"Captain X Drake, I'll take over the evacuation route."

Drake asked, "Report your affiliation."

"Marine Headquarters Secret Special Forces"

"Team password."

The other party did not reply.

Drake drew his knife.

The man then produced an order stamped with SWORD's seal.

[Immediately execute those whose identities were leaked]

[Target: X. Drake]

The signatory's name below the seal is written as "Sengoku".
