The moment the Sky Screen script appeared, silence fell over many parts of the world.

The question is too direct.

It left no loophole for the World Government to exploit.

In Marineford Square, the gathered marines looked up at the Sky Screen, and many immediately looked toward the headquarters building.

The Sengoku stood on the steps, his cloak billowing in the sea breeze.

Crane stood beside him, holding a newly delivered summary of public opinion.

Kizaru is still in the outer harbor.

Akainu did not appear.

Kuzan walked out of the dormitory area, the word "Justice" clearly visible behind him in the sunlight.

Someone whispered.

"Admiral Aokiji has arrived."

Kuzan didn't stop; he walked to the edge of the square and looked up at the Sky Screen.

Options continue to appear on the Sky Screen.

[A, Dawn Family]

[B, the Figarland Family]

[C, Nefertari Family]

[D, The Donquixote Family]

The marines in the square began to stir.

"Neferutari, isn't that the Alabasta royal family?"

"As Sky Screen just said, Alabasta has Historical Node."

"Donquixote is in there too, and isn't Doflamingo a descendant of the Celestial Dragons?"

Who is Figarland?

"Don't talk nonsense."

The Sengoku did not look at them.

He looked at option C.

"The crane said in a low voice."

The answer is already laid bare before everyone.

The Sengoku Period.

"Sky Screen Curtain doesn't want you to guess the answers."

The crane nodded.

"It wants the world to choose it."

Sabaody Archipelago.

Luffy looked at the options and raised his hand.

"Choose Vivi's."

Nami said.

Do you know why?

Luffy said.

"Vivi won't become Celestial Dragons."

Usopp said.

"That reason is so Luffy- esque."

Zoro is holding his sword.

"But it's probably true."

Robin looked up at the Sky Screen, his finger resting on the Ohara manuscript.

"The Nefertari Family's refusal to ascend to the Holy Land is evidence in itself."

Nami looked at her.

"Evidence."

Robin said.

"If the twenty kingdoms jointly establish World Government, the victors should share supreme power."

"The fact that they were the only ones to refuse indicates that they had disagreements with the other nineteen kings."

Chopper asked in a low voice.

"Will they be in danger?"

Robin looked towards Alabasta.

"It already exists."

Alabasta, the capital of the kingdom.

A crowd gathered around the radio cricket in the street.

After someone recognized the option on the Sky Screen, they immediately looked towards the direction of the Royal Palace.

"The Nefertari Family."

"Our royal family is truly one of the kings who created World Government."

"Then why aren't we Celestial Dragons?"

"The king said he wanted to hear the whole truth together."

In the Royal Palace study, Cobra gazed at the Sky Screen without sitting down.

Chaka said.

"Your Majesty, the people have already begun to discuss it."

"Cobra said."

Let them talk about it.

Long looked at option C.

"Your ancestor made a choice that Imu has remembered for eight hundred years."

Cobra turned his head.

You think the answer is C.

"Dragon said."

"The World Government sent CP0 to kill you; they've already answered Sky Screen once."

Old waterway stone chamber.

Vivi stood inside the light screen, looking at the options on the Sky Screen.

Sabo spoke through the light screen.

"Vivi, get ready."

Vivi looked down at the stone tablet.

"I've been preparing."

Pell leaned against the entrance, his ears twitching.

There's a sound coming from the passageway.

Sabo immediately stood up.

"How many."

"One."

Sabo gripped the tube.

Zero Zero One.

Deep within the passage, a white mask emerged from the shadows.

Zero Zero One didn't rush to get closer.

He was holding a small Den Den Mushi in his hand.

The Den Den Mushi has red symbols on its shell.

Sabo narrowed his eyes.

"You really didn't leave."

Zero Zero One looked at the light screen.

"The Protection Protocol only protects the authorized holder, not external personnel."

Pell raises his knife.

"Then you can give it a try."

Zero Zero One said.

I don't need to go in.

He held up the Den Den Mushi.

"Three old-fashioned explosive devices were buried beneath the waterway on the east side of the Royal Palace, originally intended to seal underground entrances during wartime."

Vivi's expression changed.

"Those are engineering records from thirty years ago; they've long been obsolete."

Zero Zero One said.

"Discarded doesn't mean unusable."

Sabo looked at Pell.

"Pell said in a low voice."

"If he detonates it, a section of the old waterway will collapse. The stone chamber may not be destroyed, but the underground of the Royal Palace will be thrown into chaos."

Zero Zero One continued.

"Relinquish control and cease public broadcasting."

Vivi said.

You know it's impossible.

You can request to shut down the node.

Vivi looked at the location indicated by the Sky Screen.

The light screen did not respond.

Sabo stood between her and Zero Zero One.

Are you really that afraid of one answer?

Zero Zero One said.

"I will carry out the order."

Flames rose from Sabo's hands.

"Then shut up your orders."

Press Zero Zero One on the Den Den Mushi shell.

Sabaody.

Robin suddenly looked up.

Nami asked.

"What's wrong."

The Sky Screen is being updated at this moment.

[This question is open to answers from all over the world]

[Answer time: 30 seconds]

Those who answer correctly will receive a small number of points.

[No penalty for incorrect answers]

Lines of choices fly from all over the world towards the Sky Screen.

[C]

[C]

[C]

[C]

There was also a small amount of D.

C is more common.

Holy Land Mary Geoise.

Room of Authority.

The Five Elders did not sit down.

As they watched the increasing number of C's on the Sky Screen, their faces grew increasingly grim.

Saint Peter said.

"Cannot be stopped."

Saint Nazareth said.

"The Alabasta node has been connected; additional evidence will be provided after the answer is published."

Saint Warcury looked toward the door that led deeper inside.

"Lord Imu has no new instructions."

Saint Mars said.

"Zero Zero One is still in the old waterway."

Saint Saturn's cane rests on the ground.

"Let him destroy the perimeter."

Saint Peter said.

"The node has Protection Protocol."

Saint Saturn said.

I'm referring to the periphery.

Old waterway.

Press the Zero Zero One Den Den Mushi.

A dull tremor came from the distance of the passage.

Fine sand fell from above the stone chamber.

Pell used his wings to block the entrance.

Vivi steadied herself against the table next to the stone tablet.

Sabo toward Zero Zero One.

Zero Zero One retreats, Shigan and Sabo's pipes intersecting continuously in the passage.

The firelight illuminated the white mask.

Vivi called out.

"Sabo, will the underground Royal Palace collapse?"

Sabo did not look back.

"I won't let it collapse here."

"Pell said."

"Your Highness, stand inside the light barrier."

Vivi looked down at her feet.

A second tremor followed.

The crack at the entrance to the stone chamber had widened slightly.

Zero Zero One was forced back three steps by Sabo, but he still held up the Den Den Mushi.

"The second place."

Sabo's flames pressed up along the tube.

How many more do you have?

"Enough to convince the Royal Palace that the Revolutionary Army had planted explosives underground."

Vivi understood.

You're framing me.

Zero Zero One said.

"Political truths can be fabricated before historical truths are revealed."

Sabo's face darkened.

"You guys are really using the same old methods."

The countdown on the Sky Screen canopy has ended.

[End of quiz]

[Global Choice Statistics]

[Choice C, 86.7%]

[Correct answer: C, Nefertari Family]

Golden Light spread Sky Screen.

The crowd in the Alabasta capital erupted in barely suppressed shouts.

Cobra closed his eyes briefly.

The dragon looked towards the old waterway.

On the Marine Headquarters plaza, many marines simultaneously looked at Sengoku.

The Sengoku remained silent.

Kuzan, however, took a step forward.

Outer Harbour, Zero Seven looked up at the answer, turned around and said to the people behind him.

"Prepare."

Kizaru put down his coffee.

"What should we prepare?"

Zero Seven said.

"If any member of the Navy publicly disobeys orders after the list is published, the World Government has the right to take over."

Kizaru placed the cup on the railing of the pier.

"Did you bring the necessary documents?"

Zero Seven looked at him.

"Kizaru, you're stalling for time."

Kizaru said.

"You figured it out, that's scary."

Text continued to appear on the Sky Screen.

[Answer explanation will begin soon]

[Historical Node belonging to the Nefertari Royal Family has been detected]

[Authorized interpreter Nicole Robin detected]

[Do you accept authorization for public interpretation?]

Inside the hut in Sabaody, everyone looked at Robin.

Nami said.

"Robin, this will put you in more danger."

Usopp said.

"Why don't we ask if they have an anonymous mode first?"

Luffy looked at Robin.

"Say what you want to say."

Robin looked down at the word "Ohara" on the manuscript.

After a while, she looked up.

"Accept."

The Sky Screen responded immediately.

[Authorization Confirmed]

[Public interpretation is about to begin]

In the old waterway, Zero Zero One looked up at the Sky Screen and pressed the Den Den Mushi.

The third tremor came from closer by.

The entrance to the stone chamber cracked open, and a large amount of sand and soil fell down.

Sabo turned around, flames engulfing the crack above him, forcibly creating a space.

Pell rushed into the falling sand and used his body to block the collapse.

Vivi stood inside the light screen, watching the images of the secret room begin to appear on the Sky Screen.

The stone tablet was thrown all over the world.

Robin's voice came through the Sky Screen.

I saw it.
