The Holy Knights' Old Prescription
"Move the medical record closer."
Luo walked to the screen.
Saint Garling did not do as instructed.
You are not qualified to access this information.
"Then what are you going to do with it?"
"Let me show you what the Trafalgar Family has done."
I've seen what my parents have done.
"The medical records you saw have been altered by them."
Saint Garling turned to the last page of the document.
There are three signatures on it.
The first mark belongs to Doctor Trafalgar, the second is stamped with the God Valley Medical Station seal, and the third is marked "Sample Destruction Confirmation".
Lami moved forward a little while holding onto the armrests of his wheelchair.
"Dad wouldn't write it like that."
"You were six years old then," said Saint Garling.
"I've seen my dad write medical records."
"A child's memory cannot be used as evidence."
"You just said I'm the holder of the Navigation Beacon."
That's the system identity.
"You're considered the holder when I'm needed, and the child when I'm not?"
There was no response from the other end of the line.
Luo enlarged the image of the document.
What samples were destroyed?
"Remnants of the God Valley, contaminated with Amber Lead."
"Are people inside too?"
"The items requiring attention are all listed in the attachment."
"Where are the attachments?"
"Already destroyed."
Who destroyed it?
"Doctor Trafalgar."
Wa Tie'er coughed a few times from his sickbed.
He gripped the IV tubing and waited until his breathing returned before speaking.
"That piece of paper is called the Royal Family Erasure Order."
Saint Garling looked at him.
"A person who has been registered as dead for thirty-eight years is not qualified to testify."
You still remember me.
"Dr. Wa Tie'er, you have betrayed the trust of the Celestial Dragons."
I treated your father's leg.
Standing at the other end of the Tavern's Cellar, Lin Qi couldn't help but ask, "His father is also considered a sample?"
No one answered.
The helper whispered, "Boss, don't interrupt now."
I didn't understand.
Saint Garling aligned the file with the live streaming interface.
"The Trafalgar Family was commissioned by the World Government to destroy all medical samples from God Valley. Thirty-eight years ago, they received payment and signed a confirmation."
Luo asked, "What is the reward?"
"A ticket for a safe departure from God Valley."
"How many?"
"That's not important."
"How many?"
"Enough for their whole family to leave."
"One," said Wa Tie'er.
Saint Garling paused for a moment as he flipped through the documents.
Wa Tie'er continued, "There's only one ticket. The doctor is required to stay behind while the child boards."
You were already confirmed dead at that time.
"The confirmed case is sitting in Mary Geoise; they haven't even been to a hospital room."
Luo projected the old account books left by his parents onto the screen.
"The tickets have no record of use; Father took Dragon away on Garp's warship."
Private ledgers can be forged.
"Can't your file be used?"
"It has your father's signature on it."
Lami pushed the wheelchair to the medical records table.
The movement was too hasty; the wheel hit the table leg, and the hose of the breathing mask was also pulled.
Luo raised his hand to steady the wheelchair.
Don't go any further.
"I can't see clearly."
"I'm zooming in."
The strokes become blurry when zoomed in.
Saint Garling held the confirmation letter up to the camera.
"Do you see it clearly now?"
Lami stared at his father's signature for a long time.
"The paper is upside down."
Saint Garling bent down to examine it.
The file orientation is correct.
"Where is it reversed?"
"When Dad writes prescriptions, he adds a slash after the dosage to prevent others from adding numbers."
This is not a prescription.
The title reads "Medical Treatment."
"Administrative documents do not require doctor's marking."
"Then why do we need a doctor's signature?"
Saint Garling closed the file.
You're stalling for time.
"If you won't show me the attachments, I can only see the signature."
Lami pulled out the origami he had found White Door from his pocket, and then asked Luo to bring out his father's original medical records.
Three handwritten drafts were projected side-by-side onto screens around the world.
Each dosage is followed by a slash, and a slash is added at the end of the date.
It wasn't on the destruction confirmation form.
Luo asked, "You can copy a signature, but how do you correct bad habits?"
"Writing habits can change."
"There's a two-day difference between the two dates."
"When doctors carry out missions for the World Government, they use a prescribed format."
Where is the prescribed format?
Saint Garling did not look at the documents.
Wa Tie'er chuckled, then coughed.
"Because there isn't."
Luo looked at him.
Have you seen the original?
"The original document was Blank."
"What's the meaning?"
"They had your father sign first, promising to give the child a boat ticket; the attachments were added later."
"He signed it?"
"It's a patient transfer application."
Who changed the title?
Wa Tie'er looked at the person on the screen.
"Saint Garling's father."
A brief period of static appeared on the communication screen.
Saint Garling retrieved the document.
The accusations from former associates cannot change the outcome.
Lami asked, "You're too scared to show it to us again?"
"The authenticity will be determined by the World Government."
"The person who wrote it wrong should verify it themselves?"
"The Holy Knights do not accept inquiries from patients."
"Then why did you bring him into the ward?"
Saint Garling raised his hand, and someone behind him handed him another order.
"I'm only connecting to the communications to notify you of the execution result."
Wa Tie'er's hospital bed status has turned red.
Following that, the files of Dragon and Lami were also marked.
Luo appeared last.
[The Trafalgar Family's 38-year-old treason verdict has been reinstated]
[All blood relatives are included in the elimination scope]
Robert Kikoku.
Who signed the verdict?
"The Five Elders."
"Is the evidence a fake prescription you have?"
You can appeal after the execution.
How can a dead person file an appeal?
"That's not part of the Knights' duties."
Lami reached for the printer port next to the screen.
She tore the paper out after only half a page of the forged document had been delivered.
Luo asked, "What will you do with it?"
"Looking for slashes."
"No."
"Then it's useless."
She tore the paper in half, folded it back together, and then tore it into four pieces.
Saint Garling watched as scraps of paper fell onto the medical record table.
"Destroying government documents is also a serious crime."
"Fake ones count too?"
"We'll decide whether it's true or false."
"You've already made a wrong judgment once."
The knight behind Saint Garling drew his longsword.
Luo also raised his Kikoku.
The blade pierced through the projection circuit, severing the Den Den Mushi in the middle, and half of its shell fell to the ground.
Before the crimson image disappeared, Saint Garling spoke his last words.
"You chose to be buried with that Tavern in the East Blue."
Public channels were restored shortly afterward.
The Five Elders' orders have been delivered to all Marine Fleets.
[Initiate Extermination Program]
[Objective 1: Throne Initial Terminal in Shimotsuki Village, East Blue]
[Target Two: The Old Frivans Mining Area in the North Sea]
Lin Qi looked up at the Cellar ceiling.
From the sea outside the village, the long roar of a warship's main gun charging could be heard.
