The Final Seal

Finally, the four characters for "seal" appeared on the Sky Screen.

The Marine Headquarters plaza fell silent once again.

Kuzan kept his head down.

Akainu looked at the sky, not at him.

Sengoku's expression had changed.

The crane's hand, turning the pages of the record book, paused on half a page.

Garp looked at Sengoku.

Is that you?

The Sengoku did not answer immediately.

Garp put the rice cracker bag on the ground.

"Sengoku"

Sengoku said, "It's possible."

These three words drew the attention of all the marines around them.

Sengoku looked up at the Sky Screen.

"Following Ohara, the World Government issued numerous gag orders."

One copy is archived by Marine Headquarters.

"I was Admiral at the time."

"I signed the confirmation."

Kuzan raised his head.

Akainu also turned to look at him.

Crane said, " In the Sengoku, that confirmation only meant the navy received the document."

Sengoku said, "But it made the document effective within the naval system."

The crane said nothing more.

The issue of the Sky Screen has surfaced.

[Additional Question: Who pressed the final seal on the 22-year-long cover-up of the truth about Ohara?]

[A, then-CP9 Chief Spandine]

[B, Signed by Five Elders]

[C, Confirmed and implemented by then -Marine Admiral Sengoku

[D. The Five Elders sign a gag order, Sengoku confirms the Navy's execution, Spandine responsible for destroying the files, and the three parties work together to complete the task.]

Sabaody Cottage.

Usopp looked at the options.

"That's too cruel."

Nami said, "It pulled out the whole chain of responsibility."

Sanji looked at Robin.

"Robin-chan."

Robin held the Tree of Knowledge's bibliographical index.

"I'm fine."

Luffy asked, "Which one should I choose?"

Robin said, "D."

Luffy nodded.

"Then choose D."

Chopper asked softly, "Robin, do you hate Sengoku?"

Robin remained silent for a moment.

"I hate that order."

"I also hate everyone who keeps the orders in effect."

"But I want to hear the rest first."

Alabasta Royal Palace.

After hearing the question, the dragon looked at Cobra.

"The Sky Screen is teaching the world about responsibility," Cobra said.

The dragon said, "All the commands used to be hidden behind the flag."

Cobra asked, "And now?"

The dragon said, "Now every hand has been pulled out."

Cobra, holding his cane, said in a low voice, "This is more serious than killing a person."

In the old waterway.

Sabo looked at Zero Zero One.

The mark on Zero Zero One's chest is still there.

Sabo said, "You are the same."

Zero Zero One said, "The Executor has no choice."

Vivi looked at him.

You didn't have to press detonation.

Zero Zero One remained silent.

"He could have chosen not to kill himself," Pell said.

"So he knew he had a choice," Sabo said.

The countdown on the Sky Screen canopy has ended.

[Correct answer: D. The Five Elders signed the gag order, Sengoku confirmed the Navy's execution, Spandine responsible for destroying the files, and the three parties completed the task together.]

The video begins.

The third day after the destruction of Ohara.

Holy Land Mary Geoise.

The Five Elders sat around a long table.

A document was pushed to the center of the desktop.

The file titles are clearly displayed.

[Post- Ohara Incident Public Opinion and Archives Closure Order]

Saint Peter pressed his hand onto the seal.

Saint Saturn signed.

The other three confirmed in turn.

Screen transition.

Marine Headquarters.

The younger Sengoku was sitting in his office.

The documents were on the table.

The adjutant said, "The World Government requires the naval system to adopt a unified narrative."

Sengoku asked, "What about the records of the refugee ships?"

The adjutant said, "It won't be included in the public files."

The Sengoku began.

"Why."

The adjutant whispered, "They said it would affect the legitimacy of the Buster Call."

Sengoku stared at the document for a long time.

He finally picked up the seal.

The Navy confirmed its implementation.

The image freezes on the moment the seal falls.

In the square, the silhouette of Sengoku overlapped with his younger self against the backdrop of the Sky Screen.

Garp stood up.

Why didn't you ask me why?

Sengoku said, "I asked."

Garp said, "And then?"

Sengoku gazed at the Sky Screen.

"Then I accepted the answer."

Garp said, "You shouldn't have accepted it."

Sengoku said, "I know."

The video continues.

Enies Lobby Archive Room.

Spandine entered with several officials.

Boxes of original Ohara records were moved out.

This includes a list of refugee ships, shelling records, and copies of the Den Den Mushi) instructions from the Five Elders.

Spandine wiped his sweat and said, "Burn it."

The official asked, "All of them?"

Spandine said, "The higher-ups said we can't leave anything that would elicit sympathy for Ohara."

The brazier was lit.

The paper was thrown in.

At that moment, the Sky Screen magnified one of its pages.

That's the registration list on the refugee ship.

Name, age, occupation, boarding order.

Every line is still there.

Text appeared in the Sky Screen.

[This file has been restored by the system]

[All destroyed records will be simultaneously and publicly backed up.]

Holy Land Mary Geoise.

The Five Elders looked grim as they watched the files being restored.

Saint Mars said, "It is rebuilding the history that the World Government destroyed."

Saint Nusjuro said, "Keep it playing, and all the blockades will fail."

Saint Saturn looked behind the door.

Lord Imu has not issued any new instructions.

Saint Peter said, "Perhaps we should use that thing."

The others looked at him.

"Using it now will allow the Sky Screen to capture it," said Saint Warcury.

Saint Peter said, "If we don't use it, the navy will break first."

Marine Headquarters Plaza.

The Sky Screen curtain has been lowered.

[Ohara Blockade Responsibility Confirmed]

[The Five Elders are the highest signatories]

[Sengoku was the period for naval command confirmation]

[Spandine the Executor of file destruction]

[Sakazuki was directly responsible for the shelling of the refugee ship]

[Kuzan is responsible for allowing survivors to escape and for failing to stop the shelling.]

In the square, many marines looked at these names.

They didn't make a sound.

Silence carries more weight than clamor.

Sengoku walked up to the Amplifying Den Den Mushi.

"I accept the judgment of the Sky Screen."

The crane looked at him.

Sengoku continued, "From this moment forward, the Marine Headquarters will release all existing files related to the Ohara Incident."

"All units involved in the Buster Call are suspended from movement and are subject to internal questioning."

"Records of shelling from refuge vessels have been included in cases of erroneous naval orders."

Akainu suddenly spoke.

"Add one more."

Sengoku looked at him.

Akainu stated, "From now on, all orders to attack civilians under the pretext of eliminating potential threats must be jointly confirmed by at least three Admirals from the Marine Headquarters or the General Staff."

Kuzan said, "That's not enough."

Akainu looked at him.

Kuzan said, "A field commander has the right to refuse orders that are clearly targeted at civilians."

Akainu's face darkened further.

"You are weakening battlefield execution."

"I'm avoiding a second evacuation ship," Kuzan said.

Akainu said, "Hesitation on the battlefield will lead to death."

Kuzan said, "Without hesitation, it will also happen."

The two looked at each other.

Kizaru walked back to the edge of the plaza from the outer harbor.

"I suggest we hold off for now."

Garp said, "Anyone who dares to fight here, I'll beat them up first."

Sengoku looked at Akainu and Kuzan.

"Included in the interim review regulations."

Akainu did not object.

Kuzan didn't say anything more.

Golden Light descended from the Sky Screen.

[Additional penalties for this period]

[The Five Elders refused to answer twice, triggering the refusal penalty]

[Punishment: The World Government's complete record of manipulating bounties on survivor Nico Robin after the Ohara Incident is made public]

Robin looked up.

The Sky Screen then shifts to her childhood wanted poster.

Eight years old.

Seventy-nine million Beli.

The Devil Child.

The records appeared one by one.

[Suggested Title: Ohara Survivor]

[The Five Elders' approval: Change to Devil Child]

[Suggested reason for reward: Knowledge of Ancient Script]

[The Five Elders' directive: Publicly declare that it can destroy the world]

[Recommended capture method: Prioritize capture alive]

[Secret Note: Silencing is permitted if necessary]

Nami gritted her teeth.

"They turned a child into a monster."

Sanji's cigarette broke between his fingers.

Usopp said, "Eight years old."

Luffy stood in front of Robin, looking at the Sky Screen.

"Robin is not a demon."

Robin watched his retreating figure.

Luffy said, "She is our partner."

The text on the Sky Screen has changed.

[Title Correction]

[Nicole Robin, The Ohara's Last Scholar]

[The title "Devil Child" originally given by the World Government has been deemed defamatory propaganda.]

[Permanently abolished]

Robin's wanted poster was covered in Golden Light on the Sky Screen.

The words "Devil Child" gradually disappeared.

New text emerged.

The Ohara's Last Scholar.

Robin hugged the book even tighter.

A new trailer appeared at the end of the Sky Screen.

[Next Reward: Messages from Ohara's Dead]

[Recipient: Nicole Robin]
