The Name Carved Beneath the Sand

When Robin's voice came from the Sky Screen, the street outside the Sabaody Hut fell silent.

Many people don't know who Nicole Robin is.

But they knew about Ohara.

The Sky Screen had already brought that name back to the world from the ashes.

Nami stood by the window, her fingers gripping the edge of the curtains.

Usopp stared through the crack in the door.

Chopper, clutching the first-aid kit, looked back and forth between Robin and Sky Screen.

Luffy sat on the ground, looking up.

Robin stood before the table, with no stone tablet in front of her, but the Sky Screen projected the inscriptions from the secret chamber of the old waterway onto her eyes.

The golden light curtain was divided into two parts.

A stone tablet depicting the sands beneath Alabasta.

A piece showing Robin's face.

[Authorized interpreter: Nicole Robin]

[The analysis will be released simultaneously.]

Robin looked at the Ancient Script.

Her lips moved slightly.

Nami asked.

"Robin, can you see clearly?"

Robin nodded.

"Very clear."

The Sky Screen simultaneously transmitted her answer.

In the old waterway, Vivi heard Robin's voice and pressed her hand to her chest.

Please.

Robin looked at the first line of text.

"This contains the oral account of the first queen of the Nefertari Royal Family."

Many people around the world are hearing this name for the first time.

Queen.

Cobra took a step forward in the study.

"Queen."

"Dragon said."

"Your ancestors."

Cobra gripped the edge of the table.

"Only one name has been passed down in the family."

"Lily."

On the Sky Screen, Robin continued reading.

My name is Neferutari D. Lily.

The moment this message was sent, the expressions of the Five Elders in the Room of Authority the Holy Land Mary Geoise all changed.

Saint Peter spoke first.

"It pronounced 'D'."

Saint Nazareth looked up at the Sky Screen.

"Robin read it out."

Saint Saturn said.

"Kill her."

Saint Mars said.

"Sabaody has attracted the attention of many forces, and the Straw Hat Pirates is also there."

Saint Warcury said.

"Deal with the navy first."

Marine Headquarters Plaza.

When the letter D appeared, Garp's laughter came from behind the crowd.

The laughter was brief.

The Sengoku turned its head.

Garp stood at the bottom of the steps, holding half a bag of senbei in his hand.

He looked at the Sky Screen, his face lacking its usual nonchalance.

The Sengoku Period.

When did you arrive?

Garp said.

"Just arrived."

The crane looked at him.

You heard me.

Garp pinched the opening of the rice cracker bag shut.

"I heard you."

Kuzan stood at the edge of the square, his gaze fixed on the letter D.

Akainu has still not appeared.

But in the underground training grounds of headquarters, a Den Den Den Mushi) is glowing in front of Sakazuki.

The Den Den Mushi) transmitted a sound from the Sky Screen.

Sakazuki stood in the center of the blackened lava ground, the edges of his Admiral's cloak curling up from the heat.

"Neferutari D. Lily."

He repeated it.

The adjutant beside him dared not speak.

Sakazuki looked up at the ceiling.

Even among the original Twenty Kings, there was D.

"The adjutant said in a low voice."

"Admiral Sakazuki, CP0 at Outer Harbor is still waiting."

Sakazuki said.

"Make them wait."

Old waterway.

Upon hearing Lily's name, Zero Zero One finally stopped backing away.

Sabo didn't give chase. He braced himself against the cracked rock wall with one hand and used flames to seal off the falling sand with the other.

Pell rose from the sand, his wings covered in dust.

Vivi looked at the Sky Screen.

D.

She looked down at her hands.

"The Nefertari Family also has a D."

Sabo looked at her.

"That's one of the reasons Imu wants to kill you."

Vivi asked.

"And one more."

Sabo said.

"Robin hasn't finished reading yet."

Robin looked at the second paragraph.

"I once formed an alliance with the other nineteen kings to overthrow the Great Kingdom and establish a new world order."

After these words were spoken, a commotion broke out in the streets of Alabasta.

Some people are angry.

Some people were bewildered.

Some people looked towards the Royal Palace.

Cobra did not avoid the light from the Sky Screen.

He picked up the Broadcast Den Den Mushi).

The communications officer was startled.

"Your Majesty, now?"

"Cobra said."

"Now."

The broadcast was connected.

Cobra's voice echoed throughout Alabasta.

"Keep listening."

"If our ancestors were involved in any wrongdoing, I will listen to their story with you."

The sounds on the street gradually subsided.

Robin continued reading.

"After the war, I witnessed the victors' feast."

"They called enslavement order, fear peace, and scraped the names of the exterminated from the map."

"I once believed we were preventing chaos."

"Later I realized that we had created an even bigger cage with our own hands."

"Sabaody, Nami said in a low voice."

She regretted it.

Robin didn't stop.

"The Nineteen Kings decided to ascend to the Red Line and establish Holy Land, so that their descendants would be far from the sea and far from the cries of the ruled."

"I refuse."

"The Nefertari Family will return to the Sand Country."

"We will leave the crown before the people, not stand on clouds."

Analysis appeared simultaneously below the Sky Screen.

[Evidence confirms: The Nefertari Family was one of the Twenty Kings]

[Evidence confirms: The Nefertari Family refused to move to the Holy Land Mary Geoise]

[Evidence confirms: The Nefertari Family did not become Celestial Dragons]

On the streets of Alabasta's capital, an old man took off his headscarf, sat on the ground, and began to cry.

A young soldier saluted in the direction of the Royal Palace.

His Majesty did not lie to us.

Another person said.

"But our ancestors participated in that war."

The soldier said.

"The king didn't deny it just now."

"In the Royal Palace study, "Chaka said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, the people are not out of control."

Cobra looked up at the Sky Screen.

"Because Queen Lily didn't escape either."

"Dragon said."

"She etched both her sins and her choices into her memory."

Cobra gripped his cane tightly.

"This is the significance of the Door in the Sand."

Suddenly, Zero Zero One spoke up in the old waterway.

"This is the end of the story; it's in Alabasta's favor."

Sabo looked at him.

What do you want to say?

Zero Zero One said.

"What happens next is uncertain."

Vivi stared at him.

"You know what's coming next."

Zero Zero One said.

I know why she's called the first traitor.

The Sky Screen didn't give him a chance to continue.

Robin read the next paragraph.

"If I merely refuse to ascend to the Holy Land, Imu will not be afraid."

"If I return to the Sand Country with only my family, the Nineteenth King will only be furious."

"What they truly cannot forgive is that I took some of the stones."

The world fell silent once again.

Robin's finger stopped beside a column of Ancient Script.

She looked up at the Sky Screen.

"The stones here refer to the Poneglyph."

Room of Authority of the Holy Land, Saint Saturn's staff left a dent in the ground.

Saint Peter said.

"Turn it off."

Saint Mars looked up at the Sky Screen.

"We can't shut it down."

Saint Nazareth said.

"Then let Zero Zero One blow up the outer perimeter."

Saint Warcury said.

"The old waterway collapsed, but the images of the key points remain."

Saint Saturn turned and walked into the depths of the Room of Authority.

"I request that Imu invoke a higher command."

Outer harbor of the Marine Headquarters.

Zero Seven's Den Den Mushi rang.

After answering the call, he only heard one sentence before turning to look at Kizaru.

"The task has been moved up."

Kizaru said.

The paperwork hasn't been completed yet.

Zero Seven raised his hand.

Four CP0 officers stepped onto the pier behind him at the same time.

Kizaru pushed his sunglasses up a little.

"As I've said before, this is the outer harbor of the Marine Headquarters."

Zero Seven said.

"The World Government's orders supersede those of the Marine Headquarters."

Kizaru didn't laugh.

"Then you can try taking a step forward."

At the other end of the pier, the marines raised their guns, but no one fired.

In the square, Kuzan saw the light coming from the direction of the outer harbor.

He turned to the marine beside him and said.

"Notify Sengoku that CP0 is about to make a move."

The marine saluted and ran away.

Garp walked over to Kuzan's side.

You need to go there.

Kuzan said.

It's not my turn to speak yet.

Garp bit into a piece of senbei.

"Almost there."

In the Sky Screen, Robin continued reciting.

"The remnants of the Great Kingdom etched the truth onto indestructible stone."

"I once thought it was the last act of defiance by the defeated."

Later I realized, those were the world's last eyes.

"I will send some of them to the sea."

"I will scatter the signposts leading to the Laugh Tale."

"I entrust the warning about Ancient Weapons to those who are worth waiting for."

Robin paused for a moment.

Nami asked.

"Robin."

Robin looked at the next line of text.

"Queen Lily writes here: If I cannot return to Alabasta, please tell my brother that the Nefertari Family will henceforth remain in the desert, awaiting the dawn eight hundred years from now."

Vivi placed her hand on the stone tablet.

Cobra closed his eyes.

A new judgment has emerged below the Sky Screen.

[Hidden Truth Part 1, Analysis Complete]

[The Nefertari Family refused to become Celestial Dragons and secretly preserved clues related to the Poneglyphs.]

[His ancestor, Neferutari D. Lily, was regarded by Imu as the first traitor.]

Lin Qi's Tavern.

Lin Qi stared at the screen, muttering to himself.

"Lily also brought D."

A red warning suddenly popped up on the system interface next to him.

[World's Core Secrets Triggered]

[The current content is close to Imu's highest level of secrecy]

[Should we continue with follow-up questions?]

Lin Qi looked at the optional questions.

[Question 1: Why was Neferutari D. Lily considered by Imu as the first traitor?]

[Follow-up Question 2: Where did the stone that Queen Lily took go?]

[Follow-up Question 3: What was the relationship between Imu and Queen Lily?]

Lin Qi's hand stopped on the mouse.

In the distance outside the door, the sound of footsteps began to increase.

In a warehouse three blocks away, the man in the floral shirt grabbed his hat.

"Walk."

The woman asked.

"Control target."

The man in the floral shirt looked up at the Sky Screen.

"The order hasn't been given yet."

The man with wet sleeves said.

"It will be too late if we wait until the order is given."

The man in the floral shirt did not answer.

He saw a faint Golden Light above the Tavern, which lasted only a moment before disappearing.

In front of the system screen, Lin Qi looked at the three follow-up questions and finally moved the cursor to the first one.

"This question cannot be skipped."

[Follow-up question has been identified]

New text began to appear on the Sky Screen.

[Additional Question]

Why was Neferutari D. Lily considered by Imu to be the first traitor?
