On the streets of Foosha Village, a man in a floral shirt raised his hand.

Two other agents stopped on either side of the Tavern.

The shoe repairman closed his toolbox, revealing a small Den Den Mushi) at the bottom.

The woman selling newspapers rolled up the newspapers, and there were Den Den Mushi) hidden inside the roll.

Inside the Tavern, Lin Qi looked at the system notification.

[Secondary location tracking triggered]

[Basic Defensive Barrier in effect]

[Location signal shifted to a nearby warehouse]

Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, a red light appeared on the roof of the old warehouse in the distance.

The man in the floral shirt immediately looked over there.

His companion whispered, "The location is in the warehouse."

The floral shirt remained untouched.

"The Tavern owner moved just now too."

"Does the barrier cause the shift?"

"Uncertain."

The floral shirt looked out the Tavern window.

Lin Qi was leaning against the window, looking outside.

He also shouted something outside.

"Why is it lit up over there? Did the Sky Screen reward fall into the wrong place?"

Several villagers on the street also looked over.

The woman selling newspapers frowned.

"He reacted too quickly."

The man in the floral shirt said, "Even ordinary people would shout when they see a red light."

The shoe repairman said, "Want to grab it?"

The floral shirt looked at the Future Island problem on the Sky Screen.

"Don't arrest them."

"Why."

"They need someone alive. If he really is the one who set the questions, there might be a protective Sky Screen in the Tavern."

Lin Qi closed the window.

The system displayed a prompt.

[The surveillance team's suspicion level remains unchanged.]

[It is recommended to maintain the behavior patterns of ordinary residents.]

Lin Qi whispered, "Ordinary residents don't experience this kind of excitement."

On the computer screen, the countdown to the Future Island problem begins.

Lin Qi looked at the four options.

Who arrived first?

He thought about it.

"Based on distance, CP0 should be the closest."

System notification.

[The current world line is affected by various rewards, causing fluctuations in the arrival order.]

Lin Qi looked at A.

The Revolutionary Army has the wind of a dragon.

Look at B.

The Navy has Kizaru.

Look at C.

Bonney has a designated role.

Look at D.

CP0 has the first move.

He raised his hand.

"Then let the world guess."

On the Sky Screen, the questions began to be laid bare to the entire world.

Outer harbor of the Marine Headquarters.

Kizaru stood on the deck of the warship.

Kuzan was wearing Justice Coat, with a small duffel bag at his feet.

Smoker walked up from the dock, two cigars dangling from his lips.

Hina followed behind.

Hina doesn't like these kinds of temporary tasks.

Smoker said, "You don't have to come."

Hina said, "Hina dislikes CP0 taking people away from her even more."

Kizaru looked up at the Sky Screen.

"Who asked the question first?"

Kuzan said, "You're the fastest."

Kizaru said, "I'll go alone and grab a spot first."

The Sengoku period was marked by a scene at the dock.

"No lone actions are permitted."

Kizaru said, "Fleet Admiral, speed is an advantage."

Sengoku said, "Your speed was also within their expectations."

Akainu stood on the other side.

"CP0 will prepare measures to counter the Glint-Glint Fruit."

Kizaru glanced at him.

"You seem quite worried about this old man."

Akainu said, "I'm worried the mission will fail."

Kuzan said, "Let's go together."

Kizaru looked up.

The answer might not be B.

Smoker asked, "What should we answer?"

The crane came from behind.

If CP0 is already at the port of shipment, the answer is D.

The Sengoku said, "They received their orders earlier than we did."

Akainu said, "But the Sky Screen's route has been revealed, and they'll be held back too."

Garp said, "I choose A."

He was observed Sengoku.

Garp said, "That kid Ryu always travels recklessly."

Kuzan said, "I choose D."

Kizaru said, "I also choose D."

The Sengoku period nodded.

"Navy answers D."

Alabasta.

The wind pressed down the dust in the Royal Palace square.

The dragon stands in the center.

Sabo fastened his gloves.

Should we choose A?

The dragon gazed at the Sky Screen.

"No."

Sabo asked, "Why?"

Dragon said, "CP0 has already made its move."

Sabo said, "But we have your wind."

The dragon said, "They are closer together."

Sabo looked up.

"Then answer D."

The dragon nodded.

Vivi stood on the steps.

"Please be careful with it."

Sabo waved.

"I'll tell Luffy you're safe when I get back."

Vivi said, "He'll ask Ace first."

Sabo chuckled.

"Really."

The dragon raised its hand.

The wind lifted the two of them up.

Cobra watched them take off.

"This time, the Sky Screen has brought the world onto a single table."

Vivi said, "Put all the knives on the table too."

Cobra looked at his daughter.

Are you scared?

Vivi said, "I'm scared."

She looked at the Sky Screen.

"But I'm more afraid that no one will go to rescue them."

On Bonney's ship.

The crew spread the nautical charts on the deck.

"Captain, at our speed we can't catch up to first place."

Bonney said, "Answer C."

The crew members were stunned.

"But."

Bonney said, "I don't care."

Another crew member said, "Captain, there might be a penalty for answering incorrectly."

Bonney looked up at the Sky Screen.

"If I don't even choose myself, how can I face him?"

The crew members fell silent.

They pressed C together.

Sabaody Cottage.

Luffy looked at the question.

Can we go?

Nami said, "We don't have a boat, and we don't know where Future Island is."

"Sunny is still in Sabaody, but it will take time before he sets sail," Franky said.

Robin said, "The participants in this problem do not have our current movement conditions."

Luffy asked, "Then who should we choose?"

Zoro said, "Kizaru is the fastest."

Sanji said, "CP0 can go first."

Robin said, "If it's going to be the first to arrive at the shipping port, it should be D."

Luffy looked at option C.

Bonney will be going too, right?

Nami said, "She wants to go, but the distance might not be enough."

Luffy said, "Then I'll choose D."

Usopp said, "You just looked like you wanted to choose Bonney."

Luffy said, "Answer the questions correctly, and save people."

Robin looked at Luffy and nodded slightly.

D.

Countdown is over.

[Correct answer: D, World Government CP0 Special Squad]

The Sky Screen backdrop transitions.

Future Island.

Three black ships were anchored on the sea.

CP0 Special Squad has landed.

The leader wore a plain White Mask.

He held in his hand the order signed by the Five Elders.

"Target one: Bartholomew Bear's main body transfer."

"Objective two: destroy or retrieve the backup of the personality."

"Target three: If Vegapunk obstructs him, treat him as a traitor."

An agent behind him asked, "Where's the Seraphim individual?"

The leader said, "The Sky Screen must not be destroyed during the temporary protection period; it can simply be sealed up."

Another agent said, "The navy and the Revolutionary Army are on their way."

The leader looked into the depths of the transport port.

So we only have twelve hours.

Text appeared in the Sky Screen.

[CP0 Special Squad Has Arrived]

[Progress in Bartholomew Bear's personality erasure restored: 11 hours and 57 minutes]

On Marine warship.

Kuzan said, "They've arrived."

Kizaru looked towards the distant sea.

"Then we can't walk slowly."

A sound came from the Den Den Mushi of the Sengoku.

"Borsalino, you are permitted to conduct scouting first, but you may not engage the bear itself alone."

Kizaru said, "Received."

Akainu's voice broke in.

Don't get bogged down.

Kizaru smiled.

You mentioned being worried about the task twice today.

Akainu said, "Get lost."

Kizaru transformed into light and left the deck.

Kuzan looked in the direction where the light had disappeared.

"Full speed ahead!"

Smoker said to the helmsman, "Did you hear me?"

Hina said, "Hina heard you."

Over Alabasta.

Sabo grabbed Fengliu, his face stinging from the wind.

"Mr. Long, CP0 has arrived."

The dragon said, "Hmm."

Sabo said, "Kizaru will arrive first."

The dragon said, "Therefore, we cannot go straight ahead."

Sabo asked, "Where to?"

The dragon looked at the transportation route revealed in the distant Sky Screen.

They will fight over the main body.

Sabo understood.

"Let's go to the Personality Backup Room."

"Bonney will be there too," the dragon said.

Sabo asked, "How do we find her?"

The dragon said, "The wind will lead the way."

Future Island.

CP0 team enters the elevator shaft.

The head of the garrison unit came forward to greet them.

"We have not received approval from Dr. Vegapunk."

The White Mask took out a document.

"You have now received approval from the Five Elders."

The person in charge looked at the documents and did not make way.

"The doctor said the bear is under special maintenance and cannot be moved."

The White Mask asked, "Where is the doctor?"

The person in charge said, "Main experimental area."

The White Mask raised his hand.

A CP0 officer behind him drew his gun.

The security personnel surrounding the person in charge also raised their weapons.

The atmosphere was kept extremely tense.

Just then, the red text on the Sky Screen fell.

[The World Government has been detected attempting to forcibly relocate the mission target during the Sky Screen Rescue mission.]

[Warning once]

The White Mask looked up.

"Continue."

CP0 agent pulls the trigger.

The bullet missed the person in charge.

A golden light barrier blocked the way.

The Sky Screen text lights up again.

[Punishment Triggered]

[Public broadcast in the public area of Future Island's outer transport port]

The image was projected onto the world.

The White Mask lowered his gun.

"The Sky Screen can't block all doors."

He turned around.

"Use the alternate route."

The security chief immediately pressed the alarm.

Alarms sounded throughout the entire port.

Main experimental area.

Vegapunk's shadow stood in front of the giant screen.

The assistant beside him asked, "Doctor, CP0 has bypassed the outer layer."

Vegapunk said, "I saw it."

The assistant asked, "Should we activate the lockdown?"

Vegapunk looked at the bear on the screen.

The bear sat in the maintenance chair, with wires connected to its chest.

His eyes lacked vitality.

Vegapunk said, "Start."

The assistant said, "The Five Elders will judge you as a traitor."

"They've been thinking that way for a while," Vegapunk said.

The assistant gritted his teeth and pressed the button.

Deep within Future Island, three heavy alloy doors slammed shut.

The White Mask stopped in front of the door.

Vegapunk.

His Den Den Mushi) rang.

The voices of the Five Elders came through.

"Breakthrough."

The White Mask said, "The Sky Screen is now open."

"That would be even faster."

The White Mask raised his hand.

The agents behind him took out a cutting device.

At the same time, Golden Light shone above the Port.

Kizaru landed on top of the lighthouse.

"Oh dear, it seems I'm a step too late."

The White Mask looked up.

"Marine Admiral Kizaru."

Kizaru looked at him.

"By order of the Marine Headquarters Independent Review Group, the outer transport ports of the Future Island be temporarily taken over by the Navy."

The White Mask held up the document.

"I am acting on the orders of the Five Elders."

Kizaru said, "Then we've run into the same old problem again."

The White Mask asked, "Are you going to disobey orders?"

Kizaru raised his finger.

The light spot lit up.

"I'm merely carrying out another order."

Text appeared in the Sky Screen.

[The Marine Headquarters Independent Review Group arrived]

[Second arrival: Kizaru]

Sabaody Cottage.

Luffy stood up.

"Kizaru has arrived."

Zoro said, "This time he's on our side."

Usopp said, "Don't get too excited yet, he's Kizaru."

Robin looked towards the edge of the screen.

The Revolutionary Army has not yet appeared.

On the other side of the underground of Future Island.

The airflow direction in the ventilation duct has changed.

In front of an unnumbered door, the air was pushed open.

Dragon and Sabo landed.

Sabo looked up.

The door reads "Personality Backup Room".

Sabo said, "We've arrived."

An alarm sounded from inside the door.

[Unauthorized access]

The dragon raised its hand.

The wind drowned out the alarm.

Sabo looked at the access lock next to the door.

"We need Bonney."

Hurried footsteps could be heard coming from the far end of the corridor.

A pink-haired woman rushed out with several crew members.

Bonney saw the dragon and Sabo.

Who are you?

Sabo took off his hat.

"Chief of Staff the Revolutionary Army, Sabo."

Bonney looked at the dragon.

"You are the dragon."

The dragon said, "I am the bear's friend."

Bonney gritted her teeth.

"Then don't block the way."

Sabo turned to the side.

"I won't block it."

Bonney walked to the door.

Golden light shone from her palm.

A notification appeared in the Sky Screen.

[Joelie Bonney arrives at the Personality Backup Room]

[Temporary permissions verified]

The door opened.

A giant Memory Bubble floated inside.

Bonney stopped in the doorway.

Sabo whispered, "Bonney."

Bonney raised her hand.

The red text on the Sky Screen fell simultaneously.

[WARNING: Touching the Personality Backup will simultaneously read all of Bartholomew Kuma's memories]

[Continue?]

Bonney stared at the ball of light.

On the outer edge of Future Island, Kizaru and CP0's beams and cutting sounds illuminated simultaneously.

Standing in front of the Personality Backup Room, Long looked into the depths of the corridor.

"They found it."

Bonney didn't turn around.

She reached for the Memory Bubble.

"Continue."
