Law Did Not Accept Delivery of His Sister

"The hat is fake."

Luo didn't get off the submarine. ROOM first covered the Transfer Station, and the spotted hat flew off the hospital bed and landed in front of him.

There was no name sewn on the inside of the hat brim by her mother, nor any little flower that Lami had secretly drawn.

There is only one tracker, the size of a pinhole.

Drake used the tip of his knife to pry the tracker out.

"They are checking if you have entered the station."

"It's confirmed now."

The door is closed.

The iron gate at the rear of the submarine had been closed, and seawater seeped into the tunnel through the cracks in the gate, but did not flood into the Transfer Station.

Izo returned to the control panel.

"There's only one exit left, and it seems to have no end in sight."

The Fake Marine was looking at sixteen beds.

"I told you, once you're in, you can't get out."

Bepo pressed him back into his seat.

"You should say less."

"I'm reminding you."

"You chased us all the way with your boat, and now you're reminding us?"

I'm trapped too.

"Serves you right."

Chopper ignored them; the moment the Medical Kit was moved into the Transfer Station, the power supply numbers started dropping.

Three hours and fifty minutes.

Three hours and forty-seven minutes.

Three hours and forty-two minutes.

"The equipment here is taking over the box."

Vegapunk traced the signal backwards and quickly located the area under the Seventeen Hospital Beds.

"The power supply has been sent underground."

Luo asked, "What's underground?"

"Life support devices, sixteen sets in total."

Chopper looked at the empty beds on either side.

"Are the sixteen children still down there?"

"We can only confirm that the equipment is still operational."

Luo moved the hospital bed away.

A row of old-fashioned pipes was visible beneath the floor, each pipe labeled with a number, from one to sixteen.

The seventeenth pipe is connected to the Medical Kit and is extracting cold air from inside.

Chopper knelt down beside the connector and used a wrench to remove the outer metal buckle.

"Don't force it open; there's a backflow valve inside."

What would happen if it were demolished?

"All sixteen sets of underground equipment may have failed simultaneously."

Drake looked at the Fake Marine.

"How to close."

"I've never been here before."

"You recognize the reflux valve."

"There are also Transport Ships for the Return Voyage Project."

How do I turn it off?

"Complete the reception first, and the device will automatically allocate resources."

Luo asked, "What will be allocated?"

"The patient's energy supply."

"Distribute them to the following sixteen sets?"

"Right."

Chopper turned his head.

What about the patients in the Medical Kit?

"Complete the course of medical observation."

Bepo didn't understand.

"What confirmation?"

The Fake Marine did not answer.

Luo spoke for him.

"The Transfer Station will divert Lami's energy supply to maintain the following sixteen records."

"Does recording also require low temperatures?"

Vegapunk accessed the operating logs of the underground equipment.

"These are not ordinary records; they contain organ samples from sixteen children before their deaths."

Chopper gripped the wrench, but didn't tighten it any further.

"Are they all children with Amber Lead Syndrome?"

"The identification number matches the evacuation list."

Luo walked to the first hospital bed and lifted the blankets.

A name was engraved on the bed board.

[Luo Yi]

The second bed is engraved with "[Emma]".

The names that followed varied in depth; some had only the first letter remaining, while others were covered by paint.

The sixteenth bed is closest to the corner, and there's a line of crooked, small writing on the bed board.

Lami was last in line because her brother would come back to pick her up.

Luo ran his thumb across the line of text, but didn't wipe away the dust.

Chopper walked up to him.

"Was this written by another child?"

"Lami doesn't write the word "rice" backwards when writing."

"That must be someone else."

She used to stay here.

The Throne Page then moved to the area above the seventeenth bed.

[Please accept patients left behind by relatives]

Luo asked, "After taking over, what will I inherit?"

[Medical Expenses]

[Observational Responsibility]

[Obligation to Confirm Patient Death]

[Flevance' outstanding debts]

How many?

[Losses from the shutdown of the Amber Lead]

Military spending during the blockade

[Incineration Costs]

[Costs for handling remains]

Bepo felt something was off the more he listened.

"They burned the city down, and now they want Captain Luo to pay for it?"

Sengoku said, "These fees have no legal basis."

[Acceptance by relatives is considered as acceptance]

Luo reached out and pulled over the chair from the seventeenth bed, then sat down in front of the webpage.

"I won't accept it."

The system responded quickly.

[Refusing to accept is considered an abandonment of the kinship]

"I won't give up either."

[Cannot be true at the same time]

"Able."

Luo placed the Kikoku across his lap.

"Lami is my sister. Her illness, her injuries, the sixteen years she was imprisoned here—everything is preserved."

Please assume the corresponding responsibility.

"I accept the responsibility that is mine to bear."

[Please confirm the specific project]

"I'm her brother."

The page remains unchanged.

"That's all."

[The older brother is not included in the responsibility items]

"That's because your form is missing an item."

Lin Qi accessed the question page.

"The newly added kinship clarification states that the brother can visit, provide assistance, and submit medical applications on behalf of his sister. He does not automatically inherit debts and has no right to confirm his sister's death."

The Throne refused to be entered.

[Conflicts with the original rules of the Return Voyage Project]

Luo said, "The original rules treated patients like commodities, and they've already been invalidated once."

[This project was established earlier.]

"Does making a mistake early mean you can keep making the same mistake?"

[Please complete the reception within six minutes]

The Medical Kit's power supply timed out at 5 minutes and 59 seconds.

Chopper turned and lunged behind the box.

"It deducted all the remaining time!"

Bepo ran to push the spare refrigerator, but the wheel got stuck on the threshold. He kicked it twice before finally getting the machine to Chopper's side.

"The interface doesn't match!"

"Bring me pipe Number Three."

Which one is Number Three?

"The blue one."

"It's all blue here!"

"The connector has three loops, hurry up!"

A countdown timer sounded at the Transfer Station.

Luo remained seated in front of the page.

Drake walked up behind him.

What if the rules aren't changed?

"Then tear this place down."

"The sixteen underground equipment sets will also be shut down."

"Save the living people first, then process the samples."

"Chopper needs time."

So I'm still sitting.

Lin Qi sent the fourth rule to the Five-Party Seats.

[Family ties only confirm identity and visitation eligibility; they do not automatically transfer debts and cannot be used to confirm death on behalf of patients showing vital signs.]

The Pirate Seat first to vote in favor.

Whitebeard's voice came through the live stream.

"Family members aren't IOUs. If anyone dares to pass on their son's debts to their father, I'll go after them and settle the score."

The Revolutionary Army Seat was subsequently confirmed.

Dragon only added one more sentence.

"The victim's family is not obligated to settle the costs on behalf of the perpetrator."

The Civilian Witness Seats were voted on by Makino.

She looked at the sixteen children's hospital beds, her hand lingering on the confirmation button for a moment.

"When a child is sick, family members can be with him, but they can't take his place and be sentenced to death."

The Navy Seats were delayed.

Akainu reviewed all the expense records.

"The costs of the lockdown and the cost of incineration shall be borne by the implementing party."

Sengoku asked, "Sakazuki, are you sure?"

"Confirm."

The Navy Seat lights up.

The last seat belongs to the kingdom's representative.

The Flevance royal family had long since moved out, and their original seat was jointly held by several North Blue nations.

The vote has been delayed.

Only two minutes left in the countdown.

Luo looked at the Sengoku.

Where do those royalty live?

"Identity protected."

Give me the address.

What are you planning to do?

Ask them if they remember the way to White Town.

Vegapunk suddenly spoke.

"Someone has logged into the Kingdom Seat."

A gray-haired man appeared in the frame, still wearing the silver coat of arms of the former royal family of Flevance on his collar.

"Trafalgar Law, once you Receipt, we can cover part of the medical expenses."

Which part?

"Life-sustaining drugs."

"Whose medicine was it originally?"

The man did not respond.

Luo presented him with the Amber Lead report from 102 years ago.

When did your family receive it?

"The actions of the former monarchy cannot be the responsibility of future generations."

"I didn't ask you to plead guilty for them."

"So what do you want?"

"Vote."

Will you stop releasing royal archives?

"Won't."

"Then why should I help you?"

Luo stood up.

You're not helping me.

He turned the camera to the Medical Kit, where the frosted observation window had begun to thaw.

"The person inside is named Trafalgar Lami. Sixteen years ago, she was also a child from your country."

Twenty-three seconds remain in the countdown.

Kingdom Seat remained inactive.

At the seventeenth second, the man in the scene takes off the silver badge and places it on the table.

At the ninth second, he pressed confirm.

New rules have been passed.

The countdown on the Medical Kit stopped at three seconds.

Instead of releasing power, the Transfer Station popped up an earlier kinship record from underground.

[Patient number seventeen completed a previous admission thirteen years ago]
