The Island from Twenty-Two Years Ago
A ten-minute countdown appeared in the sky.
No one left Marineford Square.
The detained CP0 was chained with Seastone in the Outer Harbour Temporary Detention Area, the red insignia on his chest still lit.
Zero Seven sat on the ground, half of his mask cracked, looking up at the Sky Screen.
Kizaru stood to the side, his hands in his pockets.
Zero Seven said, "You'll regret this."
Kizaru said, "I've heard that phrase several times today."
Zero Seven said, "The Five Elders will not allow the Navy to control CP0."
Kizaru said, "Then let's wait for them to send someone to collect it."
Zero Seven said, "How long do you think you can hold out?"
Kizaru looked towards the plaza.
"You shouldn't be asking me that question."
In the square.
Sengoku, four Den Den Mushi) were brought in.
One was aimed at him.
One was aimed at Kuzan.
One is aimed at Akainu.
The last one was empty.
The crane asked, "Who is the fourth one for?"
The Sengoku said, "If the Five Elders dare to accept..."
The crane said, "They won't accept it."
The Sengoku said, "Then let the whole world see that they won't accept it."
Garp, sitting next to him, suddenly smiled.
Sengoku looked at him.
Garp said, "You've gone bad too."
The Sengoku said, "Shut up."
Garp tore open the rice cracker bag.
This time, he ate one piece.
Sabaody Cottage.
Robin put the rubbing of Lily Stele into his bag, his gaze remaining fixed on the Sky Screen.
Nami asked, "Robin, are you alright?"
Robin said, "I want to hear it."
Luffy sat on the floor, his hat resting on his knees.
"Ohara must be your hometown."
Robin nodded.
Chopper sat down next to her.
"If you feel unwell, hold my hand."
Robin glanced at him.
"Thanks."
Usopp looked at the sky.
"This time, with the involvement of Marine Admiral and the Five Elders, it's going to be even more frightening."
Zoro said, "It's always been scary."
Nami said, "But this time is different."
Sanji his cigarette.
"Because Robin is here."
Robin did not turn around.
She said, "Because there were many people on that refugee ship as well."
Old waterways of Alabasta.
Vivi was still standing in front of the stone tablet.
Sabo sat by the aisle tending to his wounds.
Pell guard at the door.
Vivi asked, "Do you Revolutionary Army know about Ohara?"
Sabo said, "I know a little."
Vivi asked, "Where is Mr. Long?"
Sabo said, "It was after Ohara that the leader truly decided to establish the Revolutionary Army."
Vivi looked up at the Sky Screen.
"So this time, it's also related to him."
Sabo said, "It's also related to Robin."
Vivi said, "I hope she can hear what she wants to hear."
Sabo looked at her.
What she wants to hear might be very painful.
Vivi said, "That's sometimes the truth."
East Blue Foosha Village.
Lin Qi sat behind the bar in the Tavern, looking at the computer screen.
[Hidden Truth Series: The Ohara Incident]
[Emotional forecast: Sadness, anger, internal divisions within the Navy]
[Risk of monitoring the identity of the question setter: High]
Outside the window, three secret agents were still on the street corner.
A man in a floral shirt leaned against the wall, holding a small Den Den Mushi (a type of Den Den Mushi).
He whispered, "The target shows no obvious abnormalities; the Tavern owner is looking at the Sky Screen."
The superior's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.
"Record his every move as the Sky Screen opens."
The man in the floral shirt asked, "What if something goes wrong?"
"Capture alive."
Lin Qi picked up the cup and took a sip of water.
Another system notification popped up.
[This Q&A involves core Ohara archives; it is recommended to enable remote autoplay to reduce the frequency of in-game operations.]
Lin Qi looked at the screen.
"Okay, autoplay."
[Should the Five Elders be subject to additional punishment for refusing to answer?]
Lin Qi thought for a moment.
"Append."
[Added]
The countdown in the sky has reached zero.
The Sky Screen transformed into a burned-out coastline.
[Hidden Truth Part 2: Why Ohara Must Be Destroyed]
[Question: What was the real reason the World Government destroyed Ohara?]
[A, Ohara scholars studying Ancient Scripts may revive Ancient Weapons ]
[B, The scholars of Ohara are about to reveal the name of the Great Kingdom, threatening the very foundation of the World Government's rule]
[C, Ohara contains early strongholds of the Revolutionary Army, which the Five Elders use as an opportunity to purge them.]
[D. All of the above, but the core reason is B]
After the option was presented, the whole world was in discussion.
Marine Headquarters Plaza.
A marine whispered, "We've always studied A."
Another marine said, "If the answer is D, then we were used back then."
Kuzan said, "I choose D."
Sengoku looked at him.
Kuzan said, "Dr. Clover was already close to naming the Great Kingdom back then."
Akainu said, "Evidence."
Kuzan said, "The Sky Screen will give it to you."
Akainu said, "I also choose D."
Kuzan looked at him.
Akainu said, "I want to know, what exactly did I protect back then?"
Sengoku said, "I choose D."
The crane wrote the answer in the logbook.
Garp said, "I also choose D."
The Sengoku said, "You are not among those specifically questioned."
Garp said, "I love to choose."
Kizaru's voice came from the outer Den Den Mushi.
"I also chose D. By the way, does being late count?"
Sky Screen ignored him.
Holy Land Mary Geoise.
The Den Den Mushi was placed in front of the Five Elders.
The Sky Screen was marked above their heads.
[Special Inquiry Subject: Five Elders]
[Please answer]
None of the Five Elders spoke.
The countdown starts at thirty seconds.
Saint Saturn said, "I will not answer."
Saint Nusjuro said, "Acknowledging any option will fall into its rhythm."
Saint Peter said, "I refuse to answer."
The text on the Sky Screen changes.
The Five Elders declined to answer.
[Refusal to answer will be factored into the penalty weighting for this question]
Countdown is over.
[Correct answer: D, all of the above, but the core reason is B]
Robin's hand gripped the edge of the rubbing.
The Sky Screen began playing images.
Twenty-two years ago.
Before the Tree of Knowledge in Ohara, Dr. Clover stood before Den Den Mushi, with World Government officials and the Navy in front of him.
Young Kuzan stood in the distance.
The young Sakazuki stood on the deck of the warship.
Spandine held the Golden Den Den Mushi, his forehead covered in sweat.
Dr. Clover's voice came through.
"That erased kingdom, its name was..."
The scene was paused at this moment.
The Sky Screen magnified the records of the Five Elders' Den Den Mushi from back then.
[The Five Elders' Urgent Order: Immediately stop Clover from uttering the name of the Kingdom]
[Permission to issue Buster Call]
[Allow clearing all research records on the island]
[Allow locking down all survivors]
The whole world is watching those three lines of text.
Marine Headquarters Plaza.
Kuzan closed his eyes, then opened them again.
Akainu's expression grew even more somber than before.
Sengoku looked at the Sky Screen, his Adam's apple bobbing.
The Sky Screen view continues.
Spandine held up the Golden Den Den Mushi and pressed the button.
The Buster Call been activated.
The artillery fire fell on Ohara.
The Tree of Knowledge began to burn.
Robin stood in the hut in Sabaody, leaning against the wall.
Chopper reached out his hand.
Robin did not dodge.
The Sky Screen never stopped.
The scene cuts to the coast.
On the refugee ship, civilians crowded the deck, children cried for their mothers, elderly people clutched their belongings, and naval soldiers were guiding them away from the island.
The young Sakazuki stood in front of the warship's gun emplacement.
A soldier asked, "Vice Admiral Sakazuki, the refugee ship has passed inspection."
"Inspections cannot guarantee that no one will slip through the net," Sakazuki said.
The soldier said, "But that's a civilian boat."
Sakazuki said, "Necessary sacrifices are acceptable in order to prevent the seeds of evil from escaping."
He raised his hand.
The cannons turned towards the refugee boat.
On the Marine Headquarters plaza, some marines lowered their heads.
The Sky Screen stopped just before the cannon fired.
New problems have emerged.
[Follow-up question: Was the permission to fire on the refugee ship given by the Five Elders an explicit order?]
[A, Yes, the Five Elders directly ordered it sunk.]
[B, No, Sakazuki will determine and issue the order himself]
[C. The Five Elders did not explicitly state this, but they issued an order to eliminate any potential risks.]
[D, C, and B are jointly established]
Akainu looked up.
Kuzan looked at him.
Sengoku's hand pressed against the railing.
The Sky Screen marker fell upon Akainu.
