The Sea Has No More Patients (Finale)

The Tavern tilts to the right first.

The cook, clutching the wine barrel, crashed into the wall, and the accounting box flew out of the helper's arms, landing at Lin Qi's feet.

"Boss, the ledger!"

Lin Qi pressed down on the lid of the box.

People are more important than accounts.

There are names in the account!

The helper lunged forward, his knees hitting the floor, but he still managed to carry the accounting box back.

Lami's wheelchair glided toward the door.

Luo gripped the back of the wheelchair, pressing his other hand against the Kikoku.

"Lin Qi, the foundation beneath the Tavern is crumbling."

I saw it.

"If this continues, the Tavern will fall into the chasm."

"Can the system send the store away?"

There is no second Space Coin.

Vegapunk access line.

"We can use the ocean currents."

Speak like a human being.

"The Old Circuit to the Throne connects the Four Blues. Beneath the Holy Land lies a circular passage. If you follow this passage out of the Tavern, you can avoid the collapse of the Red Line."

Where will you go?

"Not yet certain."

The chef got up from the floor.

Don't go too far, my salt is still in the warehouse.

"You need to protect yourself first."

"The warehouse counts as part of my own."

Lin Qi walked to the bar, where the system screen was covered in condensation.

[Global outdated medical lines are being shut down]

[Remaining patients: 20]

[Should the final handover be carried out?]

Luo looked up.

To whom should it be handed over?

"The system asked me."

"Answer."

"Give it to the doctor."

Who is the doctor?

Luo looked towards the High Tower.

Wa Tie'er was still by the bedside, Dragon leaned against the Power Supply Pipes, Joy Boy stood beside bed number seventeen.

Lami said, "Brother."

"I know."

Luo walked up to the Black Stone Slab.

The names on the stone slab were so numerous that they were unrecognizable; only the names of seventeen children remained at the very beginning.

He placed his hand on it.

"Trafalgar D. Wa Tie'er, medical licensure confirmed."

On the other side of the High Tower, Wa Tie'er pressed his hand to his chest.

"Confirm."

"Monkey D. Dragon, patient transferred."

Dragon looked at bed number seventeen.

"Confirm."

"Joy Boy, First Patient handover."

The Hooded Man looked up.

"Confirm."

The system asks a final question.

[Trafalgar D. Water Law, should all incomplete medical records be accepted?]

Luo looked at Lami.

You can refuse.

"I know."

"Once you receive it, you may never be able to pay it back in your lifetime."

"Hasn't it already been recorded in the ledger?"

"That's Lin Qi's debt."

"Then write my name again."

Lin Qi handed her the pen.

Lami gripped the pen and wrote his name on the last page of the ledger.

As the pen fell, a heavy cracking sound came from outside the Tavern.

The Red Line has completely cracked open.

Seawater from Four Blues surged in through the breach, and the ruins of the Holy Land were pushed far away by the giant waves.

Luo reached out and pressed the system confirmation button.

[All medical records received]

[Doctor Access Transfer]

[The Throne Medical System has entered Termination Program]

The same image began playing on screens all over the world.

It's not a battle.

They are medical records.

Some were registered as missing, some as dead, and some had only their serial numbers remaining.

At the end of each medical record, a new status was revealed.

[Received]

[Waiting for treatment]

Chopper stood in the White Swallow ward, holding a stack of medical records, his nose red from crying.

"There are still patients? How can there be so many patients?"

Vegapunk watched the numbers steadily increase.

"Because they were never treated as patients."

Sengoku stood on a tilting warship.

"Navy Medical Division, access to global networks."

A response came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"We do not have permission."

"Now we have it."

Who gave it to you?

The Sengoku gazed at the Sky Screen.

"Patient."

Garp stood at the bow of the ship and reached out to grab a falling rock.

"Enough talk, save them first!"

The Revolutionary Army's fleet sailed past beneath the High Tower, and the bear kept swatting away the falling rocks.

The dragon stood at the bow of the ship, the wind blowing its cloak behind it.

"All ships should prioritize receiving the wounded."

Sabo looked up at the shattered Red Line.

"Father, the seawater has been connected."

"Let it connect."

The world will become very chaotic.

"Only after things fall into chaos can we have a chance to rearrange them."

Shanks' ship burst forth from the waves.

Luffy lay on the bow of the ship, stretched out his arm, grabbed a falling stone pillar, and threw it far away.

"Red-Hair, why is the sea everywhere?"

"Because the wall collapsed."

Why did the wall collapse?

"You just pierced through it."

Luffy scratched his head.

"Well, I played alright."

Whitebeard's Old Ship sailed in from the other side.

Marco caught Drake as he fell from the High Tower.

You're still alive?

"He's not dead yet."

That doesn't sound like good news.

Where is Luo?

"In the Tavern."

"Where's the Tavern?"

"At sea."

Lin Qi's Tavern emerged from the rift valley along an Old Circuit.

The tables and chairs inside were all stuck to the walls, wine barrels rolled overhead, the chef was clinging to the bar, and the helpers were holding the accounting box; no one had time to care about the broken glasses.

Lami was secured to a wheelchair by Luo.

"Elder brother."

"What?"

"Is our new store sign still there?"

Luo glanced back.

The wooden sign that used to hang outside the door has been washed away by the sea, leaving only half a nail.

"That's all."

Lin Qi pulled a copper plate from under the bar.

"This is still here."

Two lines of text were engraved on the copper sheet.

Trafalgar.

Lin Qi.

Lami reached out and took it.

"Where should I hang it?"

"Let's talk about it after the water stops."

What if the water doesn't stop flowing?

"Then hang it on the boat."

The moment the Tavern burst out of the underwater tunnel, sunlight streamed in.

A fissure in the Red Line stretches into the distance, where seas from Four Blues converge. Schools of fish of different colors float on the surface, while corals and deep-sea plants are carried together by the currents.

Chopper was lying on the deck of the White Swallow, suddenly cried out.

There are fish over there!

Sanji held onto the mast.

"The color is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

The fish here come from four seas.

Jinbe gazed at the converging ocean currents.

"The legendary All Blue."

No one spoke on the ship.

Lami placed the copper plate on his lap and looked at the distant sea.

"Brother, can Mom and Dad see this?"

Luo was bandaging her wrist.

"Able."

How did you know?

"Because they left the road here."

Lami lowered his head.

"Are they still waiting for us to come home?"

Luo paused for a moment after tying half of the knot in his hand.

"I've already replied."

"Where?"

"White Swallow".

Lami touched the cabin door.

The ship's hull has been washed by seawater, and the old paint has peeled off, but the words left by my mother are still there.

The line of text was polished back to its original shine.

Find the true flight path.

Trust in Miiru.

Luo watched for a while, then turned and walked towards the Tavern.

Lin Qi was wiping the bar counter with a rag.

The Tavern was flooded, the floor was crooked, half of the roof was missing, and the windows were gone; only the bar counter remained intact.

You still run a shop?

The door is still there.

"There is no address."

"The sign can be remade."

The cook brought over a plank from behind.

"I've finished carving."

The wooden sign bore no name of the Tavern, only a simple medical badge.

Lami pushed his wheelchair over and nailed the copper sheet to the side of the wooden board.

The two lines of names are placed together.

Lin Qi looked at it.

"Whose shop is this?"

Luo replied, "The patient's."

What about the money for the drinks?

Lami said, "Keep the books."

The chef nodded.

I agree.

The helper opened the ledger.

"Boss, the World Government's compensation payment has arrived."

Lin Qi reached out and took the ledger.

How many?

"Enough to rebuild the Tavern, and enough to feed the patients."

"Then let's buy the medicine first."

Luo looked at him.

What about the rest?

"Repairing the house."

"You're not planning to use it for expansion?"

"I just want the door fixed."

Lami hung the medical badge on the door.

A sea breeze blew by, and the copper sheet gently tapped against the wooden board.

In the distance, the abyss where Imu fell has been filled with seawater.

The Five Elders were imprisoned on different ships, and after losing the power of their Thrones, their bodies were reduced to nothing but aging skin and bones.

The system screen on the Sky Screen gradually dimmed.

The last line of text remained on all screens.

[God's Livestream Room Mission Completed]

[World coordinates have been updated]

[A new world has been detected]

Lin Qi stopped wiping the cup.

A brand new option appeared at the bottom of the screen.

[Should we enable cross-world live Q&A?]

The chef looked at him.

"Boss, what kind of patient is it this time?"

Lin Qi did not answer immediately.

He gazed at the sea outside the door, which had just merged into one.

Law stood behind Lami, Chopper was checking the medicine on the White Swallow, Luffy had already jumped into the sea to chase fish, and Shanks and Whitebeard's fleet were helping to clear the channel.

There are still many people in this world who have not been cured.

Lin Qi reached for the system.

"Turn it off first."

The screen did not disappear.

[New distress signal detected]

[Patient is calling]

Three knocks came from deep within the Tavern's Cellar.

One time.

Two times.

Three times.

Luo turned to look at the Black Stone Slab.

A line of unfamiliar text has reappeared among the names that had just gone out.

[Ninja World, Zero Patient, Awaiting Admission]
