The Sky Screen confirmed that the Index of the Gate of Old Days had fragments with Shanks, on Laugh Tale, and in the World Government’s altered copy. Shanks revealed his fragment, exposing warnings about the gate and a World Government project called Corona Crown, while a new question about the false index’s fatal errors began as a sealed gate in the Holy Land lit up.

• Luffy’s group, the Red Hair Pirates, the Marines, and the Future Island group chose D, and the Sky Screen confirmed the index fragments’ locations and conditions.
• The Sky Screen asked Shanks to reveal his fragment, and he agreed, allowing it to display the ancient warning that the gate recognized the Bearer rather than blood and opened in stages as people arrived.
• Robin read that a false sun could deceive a weapon but not the gate, and Vegapunk linked the warning to the World Government’s experiments.
• White Mask revealed the codename Corona Crown, which the Sky Screen associated with the World Government’s erroneous index.
• The Sky Screen asked what the false index’s most fatal error was, and Luffy’s group concluded that all three listed errors were involved, including interpreting the gate’s conditions as requiring the sacrifice of subjects.
• Imu declared that the erroneous index must not be made public, and a sealed black gate in the Holy Land lit up with red lines.

The Sky Screen exposed how three powerful figures deliberately rewrote the Error Index and revealed that the Corona Crown used people and Seraphim as experimental materials. As the World Government began probing Lin Qi, the Sky Screen announced that a recording left by the Roger Pirates on Laugh Tale would be revealed and played Roger’s laugh.

• Imu ordered the Holy Land guards to kill anyone who saw the old repository’s door, while Sengoku’s forces kept White Mask alive and questioned him about the Corona Crown.
• White Mask revealed that the Corona Crown was the False Sun Project, which sought to fool the Error Index and required a rare-bloodline vessel, someone adapted to Forbidden Energy, and remnants resonant with the sun’s story.
• The Sky Screen exposed the revised Error Index: Saint Saturn changed the bearer into a person of royal blood, an elderly Celestial Dragon changed the laughing one into a Sun Vessel, and a hidden third reviser changed everyone’s arrival into a sacrifice of subjects.
• White Mask confirmed that S-Bear had been considered for observation because Bartholomew Kuma’s Lineage Factor made him protect Bonney, and Bonney and Kuma told S-Bear he was not material.
• Cobra urged the people of Alabasta to remember how those in power had changed words, while the World Government ordered its East Blue surveillance team to probe Lin Qi when the Sky Screen’s authority fluctuated.
• The Sky Screen announced that traces from Laugh Tale would be disclosed through a recording left by the Roger Pirates, and Roger’s laugh began playing.

Roger’s message warned that the Gate of Old Days required people to share its answer and urged Shanks and Luffy not to let birth or impatience decide their paths. Garp apologized for those harmed at God Valley, while the World Government’s attempt to verify the old vault triggered an emergency as the backlash began marking a guard.

• Roger explained that the Gate of Old Days was not a treasure vault and that no bloodline, weapon, or individual could reveal its answer alone.
• Roger told Shanks not to think of himself as a key and told Luffy to bring everyone he wanted with him to Laugh Tale.
• Roger called out Garp, who apologized to the people harmed at God Valley and the Holy Land; the Sky Screen added the rescue record and apology to the God Valley truth archive.
• The Sky Screen warned that the World Government’s Error Index verification could spread a backlash through Mary Geoise’s underground power grid, and Vegapunk said the Holy Land might expose innocent people to it.
• The Sky Screen presented an emergency question about who would face the backlash, and Luffy chose the option stating that the Five Elders could transfer the risk to others.
• Red markings lit up on a guard’s arm outside the old vault as chains dragged inside.

The Sky Screen exposed how the old vault shifted backlash onto slaves, laborers, and guards, then expanded protection after people worldwide answered correctly. The chapter revealed the Corona Crown prototype’s maintenance passcode and ended with five eligible confirmers facing a dangerous choice to disconnect it.

• The Sky Screen revealed that the Five Elders’ risk transfer sent the old vault’s backlash to slaves, laborers, and ordinary guards, and audiences across the world chose D to protect them.
• The Sky Screen suspended backlash transfers for fifteen minutes, protected the guard at the vault, and publicly identified officer Ka Mi Er as he tried to execute him.
• Vegapunk recognized a Corona Crown prototype inside the old vault, and White Mask revealed that its maintenance passcode was split among CP0, the vault commander, and the Holy Land’s Medical Department.
• Audiences answered D again, and the Sky Screen revealed all three passcode parts while Vegapunk and others recorded them.
• The Sky Screen named Bartholomew Kuma, Jewelry Bonney, Monkey D. Luffy, Nico Robin, and Red-Haired Shanks as eligible confirmers, then warned that a wrong choice would redirect the backlash onto the confirmer.

Bartholomew Kuma, Jewelry Bonney, Monkey D. Luffy, Nico Robin, and Red-Haired Shanks jointly disconnected the Corona Crown Prototype from the underground energy network, enduring its backlash together. The Sky Screen then revealed that the Empty Throne’s current holder might be the Error Index’s third reviser and posed a final question about why the Gate of Old Days had to remain closed.

• Vegapunk explained that all five eligible confirmers faced different risks, while Bonney argued they should act together rather than be divided.
• The Sky Screen confirmed that five people could jointly bear the backlash, and Bartholomew Kuma, Bonney, Luffy, Robin, and Shanks all volunteered.
• The five confirmers endured the Error Index’s backlash as the Corona Crown Prototype’s connection to the underground energy network was severed.
• The Sky Screen restored a recording in which the Error Index’s third reviser said that opening the gate would end the king’s rule, and it reported a close voiceprint match with the current holder of the Empty Throne.
• The Sky Screen began its final God Valley question, asking why the current holder of the Empty Throne had to prevent the Gate of Old Days from opening.

The Sky Screen confirmed that the Empty Throne's holder had blocked the Gate of Old Days to conceal a usurpation, a witness mechanism, and the Sun Will's survival, then revealed that the first victims of the Error Index were people marked as Replaceable Materials. As evidence extraction began, Lin Qi used his authority to stabilize it, exposing the Empty Throne Seal and leaving the hidden signature partly concealed.

• Luffy, Nami, and others chose D, and the Sky Screen confirmed that opening the gate would publicly verify the Empty Throne's illegitimacy.
• Footage showed the throne's holder claiming the right to decide the world's future for everyone, and Robin identified this as usurping their shared right to decide.
• The Sky Screen asked who was sacrificed first after the Error Index was altered, and Luffy, Nami, Robin, Akainu, and others chose D.
• The Sky Screen revealed the victims classified as Replaceable Materials, including Ginny, and Bonney mourned her mother as Kuma said she had been remembered.
• The Sky Screen began extracting a concealed authorization signature page, and Lin Qi confirmed the system prompt to stabilize the evidence extraction.
• The extraction revealed the Empty Throne Seal as the source of the concealment, while a crack appeared in the shadow hiding the signature.

The Sky Screen exposed the Throne Mark’s role in the Corona Crown Plan and revealed the Empty Throne’s holder as Imu. As the original signing page faced destruction, old vault guard Ka Mi Er chose to retrieve it, leaving the evidence’s fate unresolved.

• Rayleigh, Garp, Tsuru, Kizaru, Vegapunk, Bonney, and Kuma gave testimony that helped strip away the signing page’s concealment.
• Luffy and others answered D, confirming that Imu’s signing page authorized the Error Index, backlash transfers, and treating people as materials.
• The Sky Screen revealed the name Imu, though Imu’s identity imagery remained hidden.
• Luffy and the others answered D to the question about why Imu could not open the Gate of Old Days, as Vegapunk and Kuma explained that it rejected a sole king and recognized the Bearer and everyone else.
• The Corona Crown Prototype’s self-destruct program targeted the original signing page, and Ka Mi Er ran toward the old vault to retrieve it.

Ka Mi Er retrieved the original signature page from the Holy Land’s old repository, exposing Imu’s role in the Corona Crown Plan and triggering a global effort to protect its witnesses. The chapter ended as the Holy Knights began an elimination operation and the Sky Screen announced a witness evacuation mission.

• Ka Mi Er removed the signature page’s baseplate before the repository self-destructed, and the Sky Screen transferred the evidence to its public repository.
• Marine Headquarters and the Revolutionary Army recognized Ka Mi Er’s evidence, and the Sky Screen granted him seventy-two hours of public witness protection.
• The signature page identified Imu as holder of the Empty Throne and supreme authorizer of the Corona Crown Plan.
• White Mask warned that the Holy Land’s evidence-destruction chain would target all living witnesses, and the Sky Screen confirmed the targets and activated protection markers.
• The Sky Screen announced a mission to evacuate witnesses from the Holy Land, while a Holy Knights executor named Ge Lan arrived at the Medical Department.

Ge Lan attacked medical archivist Mia to seize the Corona Crown Plan records, prompting a coordinated evacuation by the Revolutionary Army, Kuma, the Straw Hat Pirates, the Marines, and the Red Hair Pirates. Mia escaped with Sabo, Bonney, and Kuma, while Luffy led the underground laborers toward safety as Holy Knights executor Soma confronted them.

• Shanks recognized the surname on Ge Lan's cloak, and the Sky Screen identified Mia as a witness holding the original Corona Crown Plan records.
• The Marines, Future Island team, Straw Hat Pirates, and Red Hair Pirates divided tasks and activated simultaneous evacuation routes; Shanks disclosed the Red-Hair Segment coordinates to disrupt Holy Knights communications.
• Kuma, Bonney, and Sabo reached the Holy Land, where Mia escaped Ge Lan with the records and joined them.
• Rayleigh led the Straw Hat Pirates through Sabaody's old transport entrance, and Luffy guided collared laborers toward the exit.
• Soma appeared behind the fleeing laborers and declared that Holy Land property could not leave, and Luffy rejected his claim.

Luffy and his allies fought Soma while helping laborers escape the Holy Land, as Shakky, Koby, Tashigi, and the coating workers opened the underground exit. After learning that three hidden witnesses were trapped in a self-destructing Cold Storage Room, Sabo, Bonney, and Bartholomew Kuma prepared to rescue them, while the Sky Screen raised a question about Shanks's connection to the Figarland Family.

• Luffy, Rayleigh, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Robin, and Usopp confronted Soma as the Sky Screen exposed his attempt to stop witnesses and victims from evacuating.
• Sabo, Bonney, Bartholomew Kuma, and Mia fought Ge Lan in the Medical Department, while Shanks maintained interference with the Red-Hair Segment's coordinate pattern.
• Rayleigh told Luffy to leave Soma to him, and Shakky, Koby, Tashigi, and Sabaody's coating workers opened the old transport line exit so the laborers could escape.
• Robin identified Soma's token as a backup for Throne Communications, and Usopp and Robin helped Nami take it and throw it into the seawater channel.
• The Sky Screen revealed three hidden witnesses in the Medical Department's Cold Storage Room and warned that its self-destruct countdown had five minutes left; Bonney and Bartholomew Kuma agreed to go with Sabo.
• Shanks confronted Ge Lan through the Sky Screen, which asked whether Shanks's Figarland Family connection gave him authority to interfere with the throne's orders to the Holy Knights.

Shanks’s choice revealed his destroyed Figarland collateral-branch inheritance record, briefly cutting Ge Lan off from new throne orders as the rescue efforts advanced. Bonney and Mia opened the Cold Storage Room, but Ge Lan activated its self-destruct valve as witnesses escaped through the Sabaody route.

• Shanks and Benn Beckman chose option C, and the Sky Screen confirmed that Shanks had a destroyed record of Figarland collateral-branch inheritance rights that could briefly interfere with Ge Lan’s command chain.
• Bonney sent Mia away with the files and Locator while Kuma and Sabo held Ge Lan back; Mia returned with the archivist authorization needed to open the Cold Storage Room.
• Rayleigh held off Soma while Luffy and the others helped victims escape, and Shakky, Koby, and Tashigi protected the Sabaody exit from the Holy Land Guard.
• Bonney used Ge Lan’s Access Card at the Cold Storage Room door, and Mia’s emergency request opened it as the countdown continued.
• The Sky Screen warned that witnesses were inside and the self-destruct valve had entered manual trigger mode; Ge Lan pinned down a black tag and threatened to shut down the room.

Bonney, Kuma, and their allies rescued three witnesses from the Medical Department’s Cold Storage Room despite Ge Lan’s attempts to stop them and an order from the Holy Knights to eliminate them. They escaped to the Holy Land’s outer waste platform, where the girl formerly known as Little Seventeen chose the name Lumi as Ge Lan pursued them.

• Bonney and the others used the Manual Sealing Key to open the Cold Storage Room and free Dr. Kaven, Dr. Eve, and the child.
• Kuma prepared to send the witnesses away, but Ge Lan received an order to eliminate them after the interference with communications ended.
• Luffy used the Straw Hat’s Old Days Index to disrupt Throne Communications, giving Kuma time to transport the group to the outer waste platform.
• Ge Lan pursued them and received a new order to recapture the underage experiment survivor.
• The girl chose the name Lumi, and Bonney vowed to keep resisting Ge Lan.

Luffy and the others stopped Soma from destroying the Underground Transport Line and captured the master switch key, but Soma’s signal exposed the old warehouse to the Holy Land Outer Guard Team. The Holy Knights’ main force then pursued Ka Mi Er, prompting Bartholomew Kuma, Sabo, and Bonney to prepare a second evacuation as Horne approached the witness.

• Luffy, Rayleigh, and the others learned that Soma’s orders included arresting the Straw Hat Pirates, recovering witnesses, and destroying the transport exit if necessary.
• Usopp, Nami, Koby, Tashigi, and the Coating Workers flooded the passage with seawater, disabling the Explosive Array while Luffy and his allies defeated Soma.
• Soma briefly transmitted the transport line’s coordinates, and the Holy Land Outer Guard Team attacked the warehouse; Koby, Tashigi, Shakky, and the Coating Workers held them back.
• Luffy, Sanji, Zoro, Usopp, and Robin stopped Soma from crushing the master switch key, and Nami secured it before Luffy pinned him down.
• The Sky Screen warned that the Holy Knights’ main force was targeting Ka Mi Er, so Bartholomew Kuma and Sabo prepared to go while Bonney left Lumi with Doctor Eve.
• Horne and the Holy Knights’ main force reached Ka Mi Er at the old warehouse, where Horne’s order was to eliminate the witness.

Ka Mi Er was rescued from the old archive by Sabo, Bonney, Bartholomew Kuma, and the Marines while the Holy Knights attacked. As the witness was evacuated, Horne received orders to abandon the pursuit and unleash a sealed failed Corona Crown inside the old warehouse.

• Ka Mi Er learned that the waste-paper chute was sealed and tried to reach the west maintenance corridor while Horne attacked his Sky Screen protection.
• Akainu ordered Marine Captain Parker to shoot the Holy Land guards blocking the Marines, and Sabo, Bonney, and Bartholomew Kuma arrived to rescue Ka Mi Er.
• Sabo and Bartholomew Kuma held off Horne and the other Holy Knights while Bonney and the Marines escorted Ka Mi Er toward the exit.
• The Sky Screen added Bonney and Bartholomew Kuma to the Holy Knights' targets, and Bonney turned back to help her father while Parker continued evacuating Ka Mi Er.
• Horne received orders to begin evidence destruction procedure number two, and White Mask revealed that it would release a failed Corona Crown sealed behind the black door.

The allies began resealing Number Two, the failed control subject, while trying to preserve its remaining personality and evidence. The attempt left Bartholomew Kuma caught in an Error Index reverse connection as the chapter ended.

• White Mask revealed that Number Two was a failed control subject made from Buccaneer bloodline, Azure Jade Scales data, and personality remnants, and the Sky Screen warned that it would attack witnesses and Old Days Index bearers.
• The allies used Ka Mi Er's key ledger to weaken the Holy Knights' resistance, forced Horne, Weier, and Taluo to reveal the shutdown passphrases, and opened the outer lock.
• Number Two emerged and attacked Bartholomew Kuma, while the Sky Screen's verification using the Red-Hair Segment and Luffy's straw-hat lining disrupted its attacks and blocked the Holy Knights' escape.
• Bonney, Bartholomew Kuma, Sabo, Akainu, Luffy, and Shanks chose to reseal Number Two and preserve its evidence and remaining personality; Ka Mi Er agreed to witness the sealing.
• As the resealing countdown began, Horne warned that a throne backdoor would drag anyone touching Number Two's core into the Error Index, but Bartholomew Kuma had already touched it and red lines began creeping up his wrist.

Kuma resisted the throne’s False Verification as Bonney, Luffy, Shanks, and Ka Mi Er tried to free him and expose the plot. S-Bear intervened to protect Bonney, awakening the residual personality in Old Vault No. 2.

• False Verification connected to Kuma and threatened to seal him in the Old Archive, while the Sky Screen revealed Horne’s order to use Buccaneer blood and divert the backlash onto people beneath the Holy Land.
• Ka Mi Er confirmed the danger to the underground victims, allowing the Sky Screen to reveal their locations, and Koby, Tashigi, and others began evacuating them.
• The Sky Screen called on Bonney, Luffy and Shanks, and Ka Mi Er to stabilize Kuma; they affirmed that he was a persecuted witness, not the throne’s tool.
• The throne’s rear door began feeding Kuma’s pain to the control body, but Luffy recited the straw-hat sentence and Kuma pushed back against the red lines.
• The control body targeted Bonney, Sabo was blocked by Horne, and S-Bear stepped in to protect her, triggering an awakening in Old Vault No. 2 as a new voice asked for a name.

Bonney and the others used Number Two’s memories and testimony to resist the False Verification and expose the suffering behind its creation. Horne attacked the Control Body, but S-Bear shielded it, and the nameless voice inside asked for a name.

• Bonney approved reading Number Two’s memories, revealing that the child had been denied a name and forced through painful experiments.
• The memories showed Number Two asking whether the sun would save him, and Bartholomew Kuma’s story reached him as the researchers tortured him.
• Bartholomew Kuma rejected the forced use of others’ suffering, then confirmed that his story could serve as counterevidence against the False Verification.
• Bartholomew Kuma asked the voices inside the Control Body what they wanted, and they asked for names, a chance to go home, and an end to their suffering.
• Ka Mi Er testified that erased witnesses remained within Number Two, and the Sky Screen reclassified it as a composite victim evidence body.
• Horne tried to destroy the Control Body, but S-Bear blocked his sword, called himself S-Bear, and heard Bonney name him Little Bear; the voice inside then asked for a name too.

Bonney, Kuma, and the witnesses helped Old Vault No. 2 reject the Throne’s designation and choose the name Li, while the group worked to seal the backdoor. The final sealing condition required Ka Mi Er to reach a place where he could see the site, despite the contaminated passage threatening to alter his memories and testimony.

• Bonney and Little Bear urged the Control Body to choose its own name, and it rejected the designation Number Two as Luffy and Shanks weakened the Throne Backdoor’s overwrite.
• Tashigi, Koby, Parker, Bonney, Sabo, and Kuma fought Horne, Weier, and Taluo to protect Ka Mi Er and the Old Archive.
• Rescued laborers declared that they would not be sacrificed, and their collective testimony weakened the Throne Sacrifice Clause.
• The Control Body recognized the sound “Li” from a fragment of Ancient Script, chose Li as its name, and then entered conflict with the Error Index.
• The Sky Screen confirmed that the last sealing condition was for Ka Mi Er to reach a position within sight of the site, but Horne contaminated the passage to threaten his testimony.
• Ka Mi Er agreed to return toward the door with Parker, Koby, and Tashigi protecting him, determined to witness it being shut.

The witnesses and victims rejected the throne’s sacrifice clause, allowing the group to begin resealing the Gate of Old Days and persuading Li to accept sealing rather than serve the throne. As the doors neared closure, Horne invoked the Holy Knights Main Unit Seal under Garling’s authority and disrupted the procedure.

• Parker, Koby, and Tashigi escorted the injured Ka Mi Er through the contaminated corridor while the others fought to contain the Old Archive’s markings.
• Shanks proposed that the people being saved declare their own wishes, and Dan, Emma, Lumi, and others publicly refused the throne’s sacrifice clause.
• The Sky Screen confirmed that Horne knew the throne retained the failed Control Body for evidence destruction, a false gate key, and backlash transfer.
• Kuma repelled Horne as Bonney and Li affirmed their bond, while Ka Mi Er’s testimony resisted the corridor’s attempt to rewrite his memories.
• Kuma, Luffy, Shanks, Ka Mi Er, and Li met the final confirmation requirements, and Li agreed to be sealed rather than given to the throne.
• Horne activated the Holy Knights Main Unit Seal on the supreme commander’s authority, disrupting the resealing procedure, and Shanks identified Garling as the source.

The witnesses and their allies stopped Horne's attempt to destroy Li, challenged Figarland Garling's authorization, and sealed Old Vault No. 2 while preserving Li's identity. As Garling entered the battlefield, the Holy Knights split their forces toward the Sabaody evacuation exit and the scrap platform.

• Shanks, Sabo, and their allies challenged the Holy Knights while Kuma resisted the command to destroy Li and Bonney reminded Li of his name.
• Robin, Vegapunk, Akainu, Shanks, and Luffy answered that Garling's authorization could not override evidence protection, freezing it for three minutes.
• Sabo, Kuma, Koby, Tashigi, Parker, and Bonney subdued the Holy Knights and separated Horne from the Main Unit Seal.
• Kuma helped close the Old Day Gate, and the Sky Screen sealed Old Vault No. 2 while retaining Li's identity as protected evidence.
• Horne warned that Garling's authorization would soon resume as the Holy Knights split their forces and Figarland Garling arrived at the battlefield.

Shanks faced Figarland Garling as the Sky Screen opened a public review that temporarily classified Shanks's actions as witness protection. Meanwhile, allies defended the scrap platform and Sabaody evacuation route, and the chapter ended as they faced a synchronized question about Garling's likely target.

• Shanks chose to confront Garling, while Kuma, Bonney, and Sabo headed to the scrap platform and Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji moved to protect the Sabaody exit.
• The Sky Screen approved Garling's judgment charges against Shanks, but ruled that Shanks's interference primarily protected witnesses and barred Garling from directly executing him under that authority.
• Sabo, Bonney, Kuma, and Little Bear reached the scrap platform as three knights demanded Lumi, whose file the Sky Screen corrected by invalidating her sample designation.
• Koby, Tashigi, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Robin, Usopp, and Shakky worked to protect the evacuating laborers and reach the eastern main switch at the Sabaody exit.
• Garling warned Shanks that he could not protect all three fronts, and the Sky Screen began a synchronized question-and-answer session asking which target Garling would attack personally.
• Shanks warned Luffy not to answer too quickly because Garling was waiting for them to guess wrong.

Shanks correctly identified that Garling’s primary target was him, but Garling then revealed the transfer order that still allowed the Holy Knights to reclaim Lumi. With Lumi’s old transfer order activating, the Sky Screen asked how it could be revoked, and Lumi agreed to testify.

• Shanks chose option C, correctly identifying himself as Garling’s primary target and preventing the Sky Screen from shifting protection away from the scrap platform and Sabaody.
• Garling attacked Shanks through the Sky Screen, while Luffy stayed behind to help defend the Sabaody exit and Usopp worked to open the tower’s main switch.
• Mia revealed that a Medical Department transfer order signed by Garling was in the file box, and she uploaded the evidence despite Garling redirecting his attack toward the scrap platform.
• Little Bear protected the file box from a knight, and the Sky Screen revealed that the order would transfer Lumi to the knights’ main force.
• Lumi’s old transfer order remained in effect and activated her cooling tube port, prompting an emergency question about how to revoke it; Lumi said she dared to testify.

Lumi publicly refused her transfer, destroyed the original order, and gained witness protection after the knights were defeated. Ka Mi Er opened the Sabaody exit, but a Holy Knights adjutant arrived to recapture Dan.

• Lumi agreed to publicly refuse her transfer as Kuma, Bonney, Sabo, and others protected her from the executing knights.
• Usopp opened the Eastern Main Gate, and Ka Mi Er began the risky remote confirmation to open the East Inner Gate.
• Lumi declared that she was not an adaptation specimen and refused transfer; Little Bear destroyed the original order after its sealing wax cracked.
• Kuma, Bonney, and Sabo incapacitated the three executing knights, and the Sky Screen revoked Lumi’s transfer order and placed her under witness protection.
• Ka Mi Er resisted the corrupted rewrite with records and testimony from Akainu, Dragon, Luffy, and Shakky, opening the East Inner Gate and allowing the laborers to escape.
• A Holy Knights adjutant arrived at the Sabaody exit with orders to recapture Dan, while Garling challenged Shanks over protecting the old man.

Dan revealed that his old brand identified him as a survivor of the Old Archive transport team and could lead to the Corona Crown Prototype's Maintenance Well. As the Holy Knights attacked to seize the brand, Dan used the Well's name-recording door to trap the adjutant's weapon, leaving Dan injured and the escape still underway.

• Robin identified Dan's brand, and the Sky Screen confirmed that he knew the Maintenance Well route and that the Holy Land's claim of ownership was illegal.
• Dan revealed a hidden Maintenance Well entrance and explained that its passages recorded footprints, blood, and names, linking the Old Archive prototype's transport to the Holy Land's Medical Department.
• The adjutant ordered his knights to kill Dan, then attacked with a marked blade that could extract the Old Pattern Sample as the others fought to escort the workers to safety.
• Dan explained that the Well's third door recorded names and linked its records to the Old Days Index, while the Sky Screen warned that Luffy's straw hat could expose complete coordinates.
• When the adjutant aimed for Luffy's straw hat, Dan blocked the blade with his branded chest and declared his name, triggering the Well's records to capture the adjutant's weapon.

Dan survived the adjutant’s attack and testified that the Maintenance Well Third Gate recognized people by their names, not numbers or sacrifices. His testimony awakened the original rule and revealed nine children in hibernation beneath the Holy Land’s Medical Department as Garling moved to the entrance.

• The Sky Screen exposed the adjutant’s sampling as an attempt to locate the Maintenance Well, seize the Third Gate’s authority, and trace Luffy’s coordinates, then froze his weapon.
• When the adjutant activated the Self-Cleansing Order, Kuma and Little Bear sent Dan, Chopper, Nami, and Usopp out of its range using Ka Mi Er as an anchor; the blast left the adjutant alive but unable to fight.
• Dan told Robin that the Third Gate opened only when someone acknowledged their own name, and the Sky Screen verified that numbers and sacrifices were invalid.
• Dan’s testimony awakened the Gate of Old Days Original Rule Fragment and revealed nine unregistered survivors in refrigerated hibernation beneath the Medical Department Old Wing.
• The Sky Screen warned that the nine children would be refrozen within six minutes and that Garling had the entrance coordinates, so Shanks prepared to confront him.
