The Sky Screen revealed that the Ancient Weapons were created to destroy the Red Line, protect the world, and end the rule centered at Mary Geoise. It then announced that the identities of the Twenty Kingdoms Alliance would be revealed next, prompting the Five Elders to seek Imu as Lin Qi prepared the next installment.

• The Sky Screen showed the Great Kingdom's white-robed king explaining that Pluton would destroy the Red Line and unite the four seas, while Poseidon would guide the Sea Kings and ocean currents to prevent disaster.

• Cobra discussed the Sky Screen’s revelations with Vivi, unaware that the order to target him had already been issued.

After the Sky Screen revealed part of the Void Century, Dragon and the Revolutionary Army prepared for the coming disclosure of the Twenty Kingdoms Alliance list and feared an attack on Alabasta. Dragon sent Sabo toward Alabasta to protect Vivi, while CP0 arrived at Nanohana ahead of him.

• Dragon and the Revolutionary Army discussed how the coming list of the Twenty Kingdoms Alliance could expose the Celestial Dragons’ ancestors and weaken their rule.
• Dragon predicted that the Five Elders and Imu might target Alabasta because the Nefertari Family had refused to join the Celestial Dragon system and Cobra had revealed his suspicions.

• Sabo launched himself into the wind tunnel and sped south toward Alabasta, determined to reach Vivi before the attackers.
• Three CP0 agents disembarked at Nanohana, while the Sky Screen announced that its next installment would begin in twenty-three hours.

After the Sky Screen revealed secrets about the Void Century, Cobra and Vivi feared the Five Elders might target the Nefertari family. As Pell sensed a threat near the palace, an unknown object raced toward the sky above it.

• Cobra and Vivi discussed the Sky Screen revelations and worried the Five Elders would suspect their family possessed hidden evidence.
• Vivi told Cobra that she had increased the palace patrols and that Pell was watching from the roof.
• Cobra urged Vivi to rest, but she refused to leave him as the desert wind covered faint footsteps outside.
• Pell sensed danger near the south wall, noticed unnatural shifts in the wind, and saw a black dot speeding toward the palace through a tear in the clouds.

Sabo raced through Dragon’s wind tunnel toward Alabasta, convinced CP0 had already arrived and that Vivi was in danger. As he pushed his speed beyond its safe limit, a masked figure prepared to infiltrate the royal palace.

• Sabo calculated that his journey to Alabasta would take six hours and feared CP0 could arrive before the Sky Screen resumed.

• Dragon increased the wind tunnel’s force, and Sabo took the risk of accelerating to reach Alabasta sooner.
• Sabo plunged south toward Alabasta and was four hours and eight minutes from arrival.
• A masked figure counted the palace patrols and prepared to reach the study window.

Pell and Chaka discovered a CP0 agent infiltrating the palace and realized the king and princess were the target. Chaka confronted the masked agent at the west wing and fought to buy time for Pell to lead them to safety.

• Pell noticed the fountain's sound had stopped, fired a signal flare, and found no one in the garden.
• Chaka detected traces of a scent-masking agent and identified the intruder as Cipher Pol, then sent Pell to evacuate the king and princess.
• Chaka tracked the agent's scent toward the west wing and ordered the guards to converge there.
• A CP0 agent in a white mask attacked Chaka and revealed that the palace communications were cut and the perimeter patrols had been dealt with.
• Chaka refused to let the agent pass and prepared to hold him off while Pell escorted the king and princess through the underground passage.

• Sabo crashed through the ceiling, landed between Cobra and the agent, and prepared to fight as he declared that the attackers would die.

Sabo and an East Army operative stopped the CP0 attack on Cobra and Vivi, forcing the surviving agent to surrender. With Alabasta’s crisis temporarily averted, Dragon prepared to go there as the Revolutionary Army braced for another attack after the Sky Screen’s next countdown.

• Sabo struck the white-masked CP0 agent before he could signal his companions, while the East Army operative arrived with Chaka and an unconscious agent.
• Sabo blocked the surviving agent’s escape with the heat of his Flame-Flame Fruit successor, and the agent surrendered rather than fight.
• Sabo introduced himself to Cobra as the Revolutionary Army’s Chief of Staff and told him Dragon had sent him to protect Cobra and Vivi.
• Vivi learned that Sabo was Luffy’s brother and that he was alive.
• Dragon prepared to travel to Alabasta and ordered the Revolutionary Army’s four Army Commanders to enter level-one combat readiness before the Sky Screen’s next countdown ended.

Sabo revealed that he was Luffy and Ace’s sworn brother and warned Cobra and Vivi that a second CP0 team would reach Alabasta shortly before the next Sky Screen installment. He confirmed that Dragon was coming because the Nefertari family might hold the answer to why it alone among the founding families did not become Celestial Dragons.

• Vivi trusted Sabo after learning he was Luffy’s brother, and Sabo explained how Dragon had taken him in after he lost his memories.
• Sabo questioned the captured Number 003 and learned that five CP0 agents would arrive in Alabasta in sixteen to eighteen hours, one to three hours before the next Sky Screen began.

• Sabo looked up at the Sky Screen countdown, which showed eighteen hours and forty-two minutes remaining.

The Five Elders learned that Sabo had stopped CP0’s attempt to kill Cobra and decided not to send another team to Alabasta. They redirected the second team to watch Marine Headquarters and prepare to remove senior officers whose loyalty wavered after the Sky Screen’s revelations.

• The Five Elders learned that CP0’s first team had failed and identified Sabo as the agent who subdued Zero Zero Three.
• The Elders concluded that Dragon had anticipated their move against the Nefertari Family and could be waiting for further agents in Alabasta.
• Saint Nazareth argued that killing Cobra would not prevent the Sky Screen from revealing the alliance list, so the Elders abandoned the Alabasta operation.
• Saint Nazareth warned that the list’s release could destabilize the Marines, citing Akainu’s condition, Aokiji’s absence, and Sengoku’s exposed secrets.
• Saint Peter ordered the second CP0 team to stand by near Marine Headquarters and authorized removing unreliable senior officers, including Aokiji.

Sengoku and Tsuru considered how the Sky Screen’s revelation of the Twenty Kingdoms Alliance could destabilize the Marines, while Sengoku worried Kuzan might speak out against the World Government. Akainu questioned Sengoku about the alliance’s genocidal past and left after declaring he would follow his own sense of justice when the Marines had to choose whom to serve.

• Sengoku reviewed reports of growing public unrest, political inquiries, and pirates waiting for the Sky Screen’s next ranking.
• Tsuru told Sengoku that Kuzan might publicly condemn the Marines’ service to a regime founded on genocide after the list was revealed.

Lin Qi discussed the mysterious Sky Screen question setter with a Cipher Pol 5 agent investigating the East Blue, unaware that the agent was assessing him. After the agent left, Lin Qi checked his system and learned that World Government intelligence units had gathered information in his area seven times, leaving him wary of the danger.

• Lin Qi opened his tavern to a floral-shirted man and two younger travelers, then served them ale.
• The floral-shirted man questioned Lin Qi about the Sky Screen and its question setter, and Lin Qi described the setter as a relaxed, skilled storyteller.
• The floral-shirted man and his companions left after he judged Lin Qi an ordinary tavern owner; the man was a Cipher Pol 5 agent gathering intelligence.
• Lin Qi checked his computer and saw that his identity protection protocol was active and that World Government intelligence units had conducted seven information-gathering operations nearby.
• Lin Qi quietly noted the warning and tapped his chair arm faster, showing his growing vigilance.

Sabo told Vivi that the Revolutionary Army intended to overthrow the World Government and establish a new order, while admitting Dragon had no complete plan for protecting countries like Alabasta during the upheaval. Dragon arrived at the palace as the Sky Screen countdown continued.

• Vivi questioned Sabo about the Revolutionary Army’s plans and Alabasta’s future if the World Government fell.
• Sabo explained that Dragon hoped to rebuild the system without destroying everything, but the Sky Screen had accelerated the collapse beyond the Army’s preparations.
• Sabo spotted an eastern wind corridor and told Vivi to get Cobra because Dragon had arrived.
• Dragon descended beside the palace, and Pell recognized him as no enemy but a dangerous presence.
• Dragon saw Sabo at the study window and headed for the palace’s main gate.

Monkey D. Dragon arrived at the palace and promised King Cobra he would protect him without forcing Alabasta to join a war or reveal the Nefertari Family’s truth. As Cobra and Vivi discussed a mysterious heirloom key and a hidden desert door, a second enemy group approached the royal capital by way of a dry riverbed.

• Pell challenged Dragon’s intentions, and Dragon promised to leave intelligence and evacuation routes if Cobra refused his protection.
• Dragon learned that CP0 had already tried to kill Cobra and Vivi, and warned Sabo that the next group would target evidence as well.
• Cobra revealed that the copper key was passed from king to heir, and that his father had told him to find a door buried in the sand when the sky revealed the truth.
• Dragon reasoned that the World Government might fear evidence hidden behind the door, while Vivi considered the risks of uncovering it and Dragon urged her to let the whole world see.
• A palace communications officer reported that three ships had bypassed the harbor and were heading toward the old waterway; Dragon identified them as the second group.

Vivi, Sabo, and Pell set out to find the door beneath the old waterway, while Dragon stayed behind to defend Cobra and the palace. CP0 split its forces and threatened to send fabricated footage of Cobra colluding with the Revolutionary Army to Marine Headquarters.

• Vivi insisted on going to the old waterway with the copper key, and Cobra agreed to send Pell and Sabo with her while Chaka stayed to protect him.
• Dragon predicted that CP0 would leave someone at the palace to block the group's retreat, so he stayed behind to confront them.
• Vivi disguised herself as a maid and left through a western maintenance passage with Sabo and Pell, who found signs that a CP0 operative had passed ahead of them.
• Dragon told Cobra he would change the Revolutionary Army's plans if they conflicted with Alabasta's interests, and admitted he would now ask Luffy before interfering in his affairs.
• An attendant reported that the eastern tower had lost contact and that a Den Den Mushi there was playing a threat demanding Dragon leave the palace or CP0 would send footage of Cobra colluding with the Revolutionary Army to Marine Headquarters.

CP0 waited at Marineford for the list to be revealed while Kuzan, Kizaru, Sengoku, and Akainu considered how the Marines should respond. Sengoku ordered the outer harbor alert raised, leaving the Marines poised to confront the agents if they acted.

• Five CP0 agents waited at Marineford's outer harbor under orders not to move until the list was revealed.
• Kuzan questioned Kizaru about Ohara and the Marines' obedience to the Five Elders, and Kizaru offered to delay CP0 if needed.
• Kuzan put his Marine coat back on and pocketed his sleep mask.
• Tsuru told Sengoku that CP0's leader was Zero Seven and described his record and abilities.
• Akainu told Sengoku he would not act before the list was revealed but would resist any purge of the Marines.
• Sengoku ordered Tsuru to raise the outer harbor alert and require CP0 to show its paperwork.

Vivi, Sabo, and Pell entered the old waterway through a hidden maintenance passage and encountered a wounded CP0 agent and Zero Zero One. Vivi reached a sealed door bearing Ancient Script, where the Sky Screen detected a historical node left by the Nefertari Royal Family as Zero Zero One approached.

• Vivi detected lamp oil behind the warehouse gate and found a hidden maintenance passage beside it.
• Pell, Sabo, and Vivi found a wounded CP0 agent who warned them that Zero Zero One was nearby.
• Zero Zero One attacked Sabo and Pell, while the agent told Vivi how to reach the door.
• Vivi fled down the passage as Sabo and Pell held Zero Zero One back.
• Vivi placed the bronze key against the door, and the Sky Screen offered to connect the Nefertari Royal Family's historical node to public broadcast permissions.

Vivi activated public playback access to a secret Nefertari historical node, prompting Cobra to announce that the royal family would address its history after the next Sky Screen countdown began. As Lin Qi considered questions about the node, World Government agents approached his tavern again.

• Vivi confirmed public playback access, activating a protection protocol that blocked Zero Zero One from reaching her.
• Vivi opened the secret chamber and found a Nefertari letter case and an Ancient Script stele that Robin would have to translate after the next review began.
• Cobra decided to address Alabasta’s history publicly after the next Sky Screen countdown began.
• Lin Qi received notice that the historical node had increased the next review’s evidence completeness and considered three questions about the Nefertari Family.
• Lin Qi’s system detected twelve approaching World Government intelligence operatives, including one carrying a Tracking Den Den Mushi.

Lin Qi served twelve suspicious visitors while concealing his role behind the Sky Screen and thwarted their attempt to map his tavern. After they left, he locked the next question as the World Government’s agents decided to keep him under observation.

• Lin Qi welcomed the man in the floral shirt and eleven companions, then discussed the Sky Screen and proposed asking which founding kingdoms had not become Celestial Dragons.
• Lin Qi noticed a visitor trying to map the tavern with a Den Den Mushi and caused an overflowing barrel to drench him, making the tracking attempt fail.
• The twelve visitors left, and Lin Qi saw that the World Government intelligence system still considered him suspicious before locking the next question.
• The man in the floral shirt reported on Lin Qi to his team, and the World Government approved continued surveillance during the next Sky Screen installment.

With three hours left before the Sky Screen broadcast, Lin Qi prepared for the World Government’s surveillance while Vivi, Robin, and Alabasta’s king readied themselves for the truth to be revealed. The broadcast began by asking which founding kingdom’s royal family refused to become Celestial Dragons.

• In Foosha Village, intelligence agents debated whether Lin Qi had interfered with their tracking Den Den Mushi, and their superior ordered them not to alert him before the broadcast.
• Lin Qi added Nico Robin as a participant, and Robin agreed to decipher the coming revelation despite the danger of drawing more attention.
• In Alabasta, Vivi prepared to stand by the ancient stele as Cobra publicly promised that the royal family would hear the truth alongside the country.
• Cobra ordered Alabasta’s forces to maintain order, while Kizaru challenged CP0 at Marine Headquarters and Kuzan sent young marines to the square.
• Lin Qi bought a Basic Defensive Barrier on credit and started the Sky Screen’s first installment, which asked which founding royal family had refused to become Celestial Dragons.

The world chose the Nefertari Family as the royal family that refused to ascend to the Holy Land, and Nico Robin accepted authorization to interpret the family’s historical node publicly. As the interpretation began, Zero Zero One continued attacking the old waterway, leaving Sabo and Pell protecting Vivi and the stone chamber.

• At Marineford and across the world, people discussed the answer options, while Robin explained that the Nefertari Family’s refusal set it apart from the other founding kings.
• In the old waterway beneath Alabasta, Zero Zero One threatened to detonate buried charges unless Vivi surrendered her authorization and stopped the broadcast.
• The Five Elders ordered Zero Zero One to destroy the area around the protected node, and he triggered tremors while fighting Sabo and threatening to frame the Revolutionary Army.
• The global vote ended with option C winning 86.7 percent, and the Sky Screen confirmed that the Nefertari Family was the correct answer.
• The Sky Screen detected Nico Robin as an authorized interpreter, and Robin accepted the request to publicly interpret the historical node.
• As Zero Zero One caused another tremor, Sabo held open the collapsing entrance and Pell shielded the chamber while Robin began, “I can see it.”

Robin read Queen Nefertari D. Lily’s account of the ancient war, her refusal to join the Celestial Dragons, and her role in preserving Poneglyph clues. As CP0 moved against the Marines and Lin Qi selected a follow-up question about Lily’s betrayal, the Sky Screen began asking why Imu regarded her as the first traitor.

• Robin revealed that Alabasta’s first queen was Nefertari D. Lily, prompting the Five Elders to order her killed.
• Robin read that Lily joined the other kings in overthrowing the Great Kingdom, later regretted the victors’ rule, and refused to move her family to Mary Geoise.
• Cobra addressed Alabasta’s people, acknowledging that their ancestors took part in the war and urging them to keep listening.
• Robin revealed that Lily took Poneglyphs, scattered road markers to Laugh Tale, and left a message instructing her family to wait in the desert for dawn.
• The Five Elders sought Imu’s intervention as CP0 advanced at Marine Headquarters, while Lin Qi selected the question of why Imu called Lily the first traitor.

The Sky Screen revealed that Queen Lily did all four listed things, including refusing to become a Celestial Dragon and hiding the D within the Nefertari bloodline. As Zero Zero One’s Final Purge threatened Alabasta, the answer unlocked more of Lily’s message, which confirmed that Imu still ruled and Lily never returned home alive.

• Cobra, Vivi, and others considered the Sky Screen’s choices as Zero Zero One waited in the old waterway, while Robin explained the significance of the Nefertari family’s hidden D.
• Kuzan questioned the Marines’ past orders, Kizaru refused to let Zero Seven arrest him, and the Five Elders received Imu’s authorization for the Final Purge.
• Zero Zero One triggered explosives that threatened the palace’s foundations and nearby residents, while Sabo fought to delay him and Pell went to inspect the damaged load-bearing channels.
• Dragon offered to slow the sinking with wind, and Cobra ordered Alabasta’s eastern district evacuated.
• The Sky Screen confirmed D as the correct answer, and golden light revealed the next part of Queen Lily’s message: Imu still sat on the Empty Throne, and Lily had not returned to Alabasta alive.

Robin revealed Queen Lily’s account of Imu, the Empty Throne, and the Will of D as Vivi and Sabo defended the old waterway with help from the Sky Screen. The Sky Screen then exposed the World Government’s purge operations, marking CP0 agents as Akainu moved to arrest them.

• Robin read Lily’s account of seeing Imu on the Empty Throne and learning that the World Government feared the name D because it made people unwilling to kneel.
• Zero Seven and CP0 agents tried to reach the headquarters plaza, but Kizaru and then Akainu confronted them; Akainu refused to obey their order to restrict him.
• Sabo fought Zero Zero One to protect Vivi, and the Sky Screen expanded its protection around the stone chamber and eastern supports, saving Pell from the collapse.
• Robin read Lily’s confession that the Nefertari Family had helped destroy a kingdom but later chose not to rule above others, while the Sky Screen linked Lily’s disappearance to Imu.
• The Sky Screen announced punishments targeting the World Government, the Five Elders, and CP0, revealed that CP0 agents were destroying historical evidence, and marked them for all to see.
• Akainu advanced on Zero Seven to arrest him for an illegal armed operation as the Sky Screen began revealing the list of the Twenty Kingdoms Alliance.

The Sky Screen revealed the names of the twenty royal families and exposed centuries of persecution against the Nefertari Family, while Marines fought CP0 and Alabasta braced for the truth. It rewarded Vivi, Cobra, and Nico Robin, then previewed the truth about Ohara as Kuzan requested permission to speak publicly.

• The Sky Screen listed the twenty royal families, ending with Imu's deliberately erased family name, while the Five Elders reacted in the Room of Authority.
• Akainu and Kizaru fought CP0 at the Marine Headquarters harbor, and Marines arrested Zero Seven in Seastone cuffs after the Five Elders publicly ordered him and his squad to destroy evidence or kill themselves.
• Sabo, Vivi, and Pell confronted Zero Zero One in the old waterway as the Sky Screen exposed the Five Elders' eight-hundred-year campaign against the Nefertari Family and their current plan to kill Cobra and Vivi.
• Cobra urged Alabasta's people to stay calm, and the Sky Screen awarded Vivi, Cobra, and Nico Robin a permanent historical backup, a protective barrier, and Queen Lily's stone rubbing.
• The Sky Screen previewed the truth about Ohara, and Kuzan asked Sengoku for permission to speak publicly.
