Bonney, Kuma, Sabo, and Little Bear rescued nine dormant children from the Medical Department’s Old Wing by awakening them and granting them temporary names. Garling reached the rescue team as the children escaped the cold-storage room, and he prepared to pass judgment on them.

• Shanks accepted the Sky Screen’s request to intercept Garling while Kuma led Bonney, Sabo, and Little Bear toward the Old Wing, guided by Lumi.
• The rescue team found nine dormant survivors behind a cold-storage door that required them to confirm their names, so Kuma, Bonney, Sabo, and Little Bear shared the extracted cold while Lumi called to them.
• Robin helped Luffy use the Straw Hat’s supplementary meanings to awaken the survivors, and the group rejected Garling’s claim that the unregistered children were ownerless material.
• Bonney, Sabo, and Little Bear brought out the nine children, who chose the names Ami, Nuo, Tata, Xi’er, Malu, Qiao, An, Bei’er, and Hai, aborting the refreezing procedure.
• Garling bypassed Shanks and reached the Old Wing entrance; as Kuma shielded the children and Sabo readied his weapon, Garling drew his sword and declared that judgment would begin.

Garling’s judgment over the registered children was rejected, but he sealed the Old Wing entrance and threatened to bury them. The children publicly refused the seal and verified their names, freeing the passage, as Garling shifted his judgment target to Bartholomew Kuma.

• Garling invoked judgment authority to retrieve the registered children, and Bonney, Lumi, and others supported protecting them.
• The Sky Screen collected votes for option C, and the ruling temporarily rejected Garling’s authority over the children.
• Garling attacked the Old Wing’s supports and cooling pipes, trapping the rescuers and threatening the children.
• Lumi and the children publicly refused the seal and verified their names, lifting it and allowing Kizaru’s light to reach the passage.
• Garling activated the Main Unit Seal and changed his judgment target to Bartholomew Kuma.

Garling tried to use Kuma’s trial and the old Pacifista protocol to reclaim control, but Bonney and the children registered Kuma as their protector and severed the link. Garling began the Main Unit Seal’s Identity-Erasure Order against the children, Lumi, and Kuma’s protector registration.

• Garling charged Kuma with rebellion, and Akainu, the Navy Independent Review Group, Ka Mi Er, and others chose D, rejecting the Holy Land’s order as a suspected attempt to eliminate evidence.
• Garling linked the trial to Kuma’s old Pacifista protocol, so Bonney, Little Bear, Lumi, and the children testified that Kuma was their protector.
• The Sky Screen accepted their testimony, corrected Kuma’s mission role, and severed the link between the Old Protocol and the Judgment Arena.
• Sabo and Kuma attacked Garling, but Kizaru warned that the children had to be moved before his path of light reached its limit.
• Shanks revealed that the Main Unit Seal’s third order erased identities, and Garling began targeting the nine children, Lumi, and Kuma’s protector registration.

Garling’s Identity-Erasure Order was invalidated after Shanks invoked a family review and people across the world chose to protect the children’s self-chosen names. Garling then activated a Name-Capture Order targeting Lumi, and the red thread spread to Bartholomew Kuma as the evacuation continued.

• Bonney and the doctors urged the children to say their names while Garling’s red marks weakened Lumi’s ability to speak.
• Shanks raised a family objection, and Luffy, the Navy, and others chose that Lumi’s name could not be revoked and the erasure order constituted secondary harm.
• The Sky Screen invalidated Garling’s Identity-Erasure Order, and Lumi and the other children shouted their names.
• Sabo and Bartholomew Kuma drove Garling back as Kizaru began evacuating the children along the path of light.
• Garling activated a Name-Capture Order against Lumi, and its red thread expanded to target Bartholomew Kuma.

Lumi challenged Figarland Garling’s claim of ownership, and witnesses and a Sky Screen vote exposed the spoils-of-war registration as evidence of enslavement. The Name-Capture Order was lifted, but Garling triggered Blood Adjudication, which mistakenly marked Jewelry Bonney as an associated person.

• Bonney, Kuma, and others presented evidence that Lumi had been transferred from the Medical Department rather than captured as spoils of war, and the vote found the ownership field to be evidence of enslavement.
• Lumi chose Kuma as her temporary protector, and the vote placed Garling under an enslavement review while lifting the Name-Capture Order.
• Garling slashed at the Sky Screen’s evidence chain, but Shanks intercepted the attack with his sword and Conqueror’s Haki.
• Garling triggered Blood Adjudication against Kuma and Lumi, but the black mark shifted to Bonney when she grabbed Lumi.

Bonney challenged Garling’s illegal blood adjudication and forced the Sky Screen to suspend it, freeing her and clearing the way for Lumi and the children to escape. Garling then activated the Chief Adjudication Platform, expanding the trial to everyone involved in the evacuation mission.

• Garling’s blood adjudication seized Bonney as a witness, and he began using pain to pressure her into admitting she interfered with the Figarland Family’s judgment.
• Bonney invoked her one chance to counter-question and challenged Garling’s right to judge Lumi, Bonney, and Kuma.
• The Sky Screen accepted the legality review, and witnesses and allies across the world chose option D, ruling that Garling’s adjudication was illegal and adding crimes to his record.
• The black markings vanished from Bonney, Kuma caught her, and Lumi led the children along Kizaru’s light path to safety.
• Garling connected the battlefield to the Chief Adjudication Platform, which expanded its trial to all participants in the Holy Land witness evacuation mission.

The Chief Adjudication Platform put the Holy Land witness evacuation on trial, and participants across the world chose that the mission was witness protection rather than rebellion. Garling triggered a second trial challenging whether anyone without the throne’s authorization was qualified to protect witnesses, and the Platform demanded access to the protected persons list.

• The Chief Adjudication Platform marked the evacuation participants for adjudication, while Nami directed evacuees through an alley and Koby claimed custody of the witnesses for the Navy Independent Review Group.
• Garling accused the rescuers of crimes and named Bonney as a participant, prompting the Platform to ask whether the evacuation was armed rebellion against the World Government.
• Akainu, Dragon, Vegapunk, Luffy, and the rescued laborers chose answer D, and the Platform classified the mission as witness protection while suspecting the Holy Land of evidence destruction and unlawful detention.
• Garling initiated a second trial to decide whether people without the throne’s authorization could protect witnesses.
• The Platform requested the protected persons list and warned that it would revoke all witness protection markers if the list was invalid.

Robin and the others refused to hand the full witness list to the Holy Land, and the witnesses’ wishes forced the Chief Adjudication Platform to accept a redacted list. The platform began its third trial on whether the rescuers could serve as lawful protectors, and Lumi said the rescued would choose them.

• Robin warned that the Chief Adjudication Platform wanted to capture the witnesses, and Garling demanded the full list for his second trial.
• Lumi refused to reveal her private information, Kuma confirmed her choice, and Little Bear testified that she did not consent.
• Sabo held Garling off while Kizaru obscured the scrap platform’s coordinates, and Vegapunk worked to redact the witness records.
• The Navy Independent Review Group and witnesses including Dan, Liya, and Feier chose D, causing the platform to deny the Holy Land access to the full list.
• Garling’s platform began its third trial on whether the rescuers could serve as lawful protectors, and Lumi said the people who had been saved would choose them.

Lumi and other witnesses freely chose their temporary protectors, and the Chief Adjudication Platform ruled that the throne could not ratify or revoke those choices. Garling triggered an unauthorized fourth review that could mark and eliminate the participants, leaving Luffy and the others facing a judgment on whether they threatened world stability.

• Lumi rejected Garling and testified that she chose her own protector, while Luffy and the witnesses selected option D.
• Akainu, Dragon, and Vegapunk supported the witnesses' right to choose, and Vegapunk exposed the lifted Pacifista control protocol.
• Garling challenged whether the witnesses had chosen freely, but Lumi, Dan, and others testified that they had not been coerced by the rescuers.
• The Sky Screen verified free choice, established temporary protector eligibility, and shattered the Chief Adjudication Platform's third ring.
• Garling attacked Sabo and activated a fourth, throne-stamped review that threatened group marking and elimination.

The Throne-Stamped Review branded those who chose to protect witnesses as threats, but Robin challenged the meaning of world stability and helped expose its false foundation. Garling then amended the judgment to target the Straw Hat Lining Old Days Index, tying the review to the Gate of Old Days.

• Garling declared that World Government stability took precedence over individual wishes and threatened those who chose option D in the review.
• Shanks, Dragon, Akainu, Koby, Dan, and others chose D, rejecting the elimination of witnesses and the destruction of evidence.
• The Sky Screen marked D voters for elimination, so Robin requested a preliminary review of whether stability could exclude the lives of the governed, victims, and witnesses.
• People across the world chose D, and the Sky Screen ruled that excluding them falsified the concept of stability and damaged the foundation of the Throne-Stamped Review.
• Garling amended the judgment to allow eliminating everyone connected to the Gate of Old Days, and the Sky Screen named the Straw Hat Lining Old Days Index as the primary target.

Luffy and the allied parties chose to keep the Old Days Index in his custody under multiple witnesses, and the Sky Screen rejected Garling’s attempt to erase it. Garling then tried to force the Gate of Old Days to respond by falsifying the world’s answer records.

• Garling demanded the straw hat and its index, but Luffy refused; Shanks said he would not choose for Luffy, who selected option D.
• The Red Hair Pirates, Bonney, the Navy Independent Review Group, the Revolutionary Army, and Vegapunk’s team also chose D, with Robin warning that the index’s triggers would be recorded.
• The throne attempted to erase the index, but Luffy asked the hat if it consented, and Robin read the inscription: “The gate recognizes the Bearer, not the king.”
• Robin, Nami, Usopp, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, Franky, and Brook joined Luffy as witnesses, and the Sky Screen confirmed D and rejected the forced erasure.
• The backlash cracked the Chief Adjudication Platform and wounded Garling, but he drove his sword into the crack and began falsifying the global answer records to provoke the Gate of Old Days.

Robin exposed Garling’s attempt to turn the world’s answer records into consent to open the Gate of Old Days. Although the Sky Screen ruled the records could not be repurposed, Garling shifted to forcibly extracting key witnesses, leaving Luffy, Robin, Shanks, Kuma, Bonney, Lumi, Dan, and Ka Mi Er in danger.

• Garling used the Chief Adjudication Platform to redirect global answer records toward opening the Gate of Old Days, while Robin explained that everyone’s arrival required shared understanding and willingness to bear the consequences.
• Robin asked whether the platform could treat the answer records as authorization, and people across the world—including Luffy, Dan, Koby, Tashigi, Akainu, Tsuru, Sengoku, and Garp—chose D and rejected their answers being repurposed.
• Vegapunk placed purpose locks on the records, while Lumi, Little Bear, Bonney, and Kuma also declared that their answers did not authorize opening the gate.
• Luffy asked the gate directly, and the Sky Screen ruled that the platform’s actions were an appropriation of everyone’s will, stripping its black and red light from screens across the world.
• Garling continued pressing the platform and began extracting key witness qualifications, activating a forced-arrival program targeting Luffy, Robin, Shanks, Kuma, Bonney, Lumi, Dan, and Ka Mi Er.

The witnesses and their allies rejected the Chief Adjudication Platform’s attempt to force their qualifications to the Gate of Old Days, and the Sky Screen ruled that forced arrival was fraud. Garling then invoked the Corona Crown’s remnants to forge a false sun, intensifying the gate’s false response.

• Robin, Luffy, Nami, and their allies urged evacuees and marked witnesses not to follow the Red Mark, while Dan resisted its pull by cursing the platform.
• Lumi, Bartholomew Kuma, Bonney, and Sabo resisted Garling as he tried to use their witness qualifications without their consent.
• Shanks asked whether qualifications could be forcibly made to arrive, and witnesses and allies across the world chose answer D, rejecting forced attendance.
• The Sky Screen ruled that forced arrival constituted Witness Contamination and Gate-Opening Fraud, snapping the platform’s red lines and cracking it.
• Garling invoked the Corona Crown remnants to forge a sun, and the Sky Screen warned that False Sun verification had begun.

Luffy and his allies rejected the Corona Crown’s use of stolen victim data and Luffy’s heartbeat to construct a false sun, breaking two layers of Garling’s scheme. The chapter ended as Imu’s authority intruded on the Chief Adjudication Platform and activated a third layer.

• Robin and Vegapunk explained that the Corona Crown was combining stolen records, including Kuma’s personality data and Lumi’s medical records, to make a false sun.
• Sabo’s attack failed to burn through the black iron ring, so Robin challenged whether victim data could be used to construct a Temporary Sun Vessel.
• Bonney, Kuma, Lumi, medical staff, evacuees, and groups across the world chose D, and the Sky Screen ruled that victim data could not be used; the false sun dimmed.
• Garling tried to use Luffy’s recorded heartbeat and Nika fluctuations, but Luffy, the Straw Hat Pirates, and their allies chose D, shattering the false sun’s second layer.
• Garling asked whether the system could stop the throne from intervening, and Lin Qi’s screen warned that Imu’s authority had connected to the platform and activated the third layer.

Lin Qi used the Sky Screen’s question-setting authority to counter the throne’s attempt to claim the sun, and people across the world answered that the sun could not belong to one power. The backlash broke the false sun’s third layer, but the throne reverse-locked Lin Qi’s location and ordered his arrest.

• Lin Qi activated a mandatory question asking whether the throne could claim the sun unilaterally, while the throne’s authority weakened the defenders at the Holy Land.
• Luffy and the others resisted the counterfeit beat as Brook’s music drowned it out, and the Sky Screen presented four answers.
• Luffy, the Marines, the Revolutionary Army, and people across the world chose D, rejecting the throne’s claim to the sun.
• The Sky Screen determined that the throne was usurping a symbol of liberation, and golden light shattered the black iron ring’s center.
• A voice ordered the question setter eliminated, the Sky Screen reverse-locked Lin Qi’s location, and agents outside the tavern received orders to arrest him.

Lin Qi used a Sky Screen question to expose the Cipher Pol agents sent to capture him, while the Throne widened its elimination zone to Foosha Village. As the agents broke into his tavern, Lin Qi activated a protection protocol, and the chapter ended with a new question asking whether the world recognized him as a protected civilian witness.

• Lin Qi used a public-location question and added a condition requiring agents to reveal their identities and authorization if unarmed villagers were present.
• Makino confronted the agents, and Foosha Village’s residents gathered after the Sky Screen exposed their Cipher Pol identities.
• Luffy, Garp, Akainu, Dragon, and Shanks reacted to the threat against Foosha Village, while Akainu and Dragon ordered support for the civilians.
• The Throne expanded its elimination zone to Foosha Village and the surrounding waters, and Luffy stepped forward despite the risk of exposing his location.
• The agents broke into Lin Qi’s tavern, and Lin Qi activated the Quizmaster Protection Protocol, which revealed their Erasure Squad identities and mission.
• The Sky Screen started a question about whether Lin Qi was a protected civilian witness as Garling raised his blade and a countdown began.

As the world voted to protect Lin Qi from an undisclosed Cipher Pol arrest, the Throne tried to authorize his preemptive elimination. The ruling made Lin Qi a Protected Civilian Witness, and Garp arrived at the tavern as an agent threatened him with a blade.

• Luffy, Akainu, Dragon, Shanks, and the villagers backed option D, while Akainu ordered Marines to protect civilians and Dragon moved to block Cipher Pol's escape route.
• Two CP Agents entered Lin Qi's tavern and tried to seize him and his computer, but the Sky Screen barred them from firing while unarmed villagers were present.
• Lin Qi applied for Protected Civilian Witness status as Makino and the village chief defended him.
• Garling forced a new question onto the Sky Screen about eliminating suspected questioners, and Luffy, Akainu, Dragon, Shanks, Makino, and the village chief chose D.
• The Sky Screen ruled that preemptive elimination would confirm the silencing-chain crime and activated Lin Qi's protection, locking the agents' guns.
• When one agent drew a blade, Garp entered through the back door and confronted the CP Agents.

A projected Garp protected Lin Qi and the Foosha Village witnesses from Cipher Pol agents, while Lin Qi used the Sky Screen to preserve his computer as evidence. As the Throne moved to break the protection protocol, Lin Qi posed a new question demanding the agents submit to public review.

• Garp received permission to perform one non-lethal defensive action and used it to stop a Cipher Pol agent from attacking Lin Qi.
• The Sky Screen identified the agents’ syringe as a prohibited memory-extraction drug intended to seize Lin Qi’s memories.
• Akainu, Dragon, Shanks, and others chose joint preservation of Lin Qi’s computer, and the Sky Screen marked the agent who touched it for evidence contamination.
• East Blue Branch Marines arrived to protect the village witnesses and ordered the Cipher Pol agents to surrender their weapons and disclose their authorization.
• Garling began severing the Sky Screen’s protection protocol, so Lin Qi asked whether the Cipher Pol agents should be publicly reviewed, disarmed, and made to surrender their authorization records.

Lin Qi used the Sky Screen to expose Cipher Pol’s orders and protect Foosha Village from an offshore attack. When an agent threatened Makino, Lin Qi accepted the cost of revealing his identity, and the Sky Screen announced that he held question-setting authority for the God's Live-Streaming Q&A System.

• The Sky Screen forced the Cipher Pol agents to answer, exposed their orders to capture Lin Qi and eliminate witnesses, and revealed their hidden weapons after they chose incorrectly.
• Garling ordered speedboats to shell Foosha Village, while Garp, Akainu, Dragon, Shanks, and others sought ways to stop the attack.
• Usopp proposed using the village’s old buoy line, and Lin Qi’s protection question triggered a shield that deflected the first shell as villagers obstructed the speedboats.
• The East Blue Marines fired on the boats, and the agent captain attacked Lin Qi while Makino stood between them.
• Lin Qi confirmed the Sky Screen’s request to reveal his identity, and it identified him as the holder of question-setting authority for the God's Live-Streaming Q&A System.

Lin Qi’s identity as the Sky Screen’s question setter was exposed, making him a target of the Throne while allies debated how to protect him. He countered Garling’s direct judgment with a public fact verification, but the system then announced it would disclose a record identifying him as a transmigrator.

• The Sky Screen revealed Lin Qi as the question setter, and Makino had the East Blue major arrest the Cipher Pol agents threatening him.
• Garling declared that Lin Qi’s exposure gave the Throne a target, while Vegapunk warned Lin Qi that further high-authority questions could reveal his location.
• The Navy, Revolutionary Army, Red Hair Pirates, and Straw Hat Pirates declared support for protecting Lin Qi without handing him over to the Throne.
• Garling issued a direct judgment asking whether Lin Qi posed a threat and offering punishments, so Lin Qi added a supplementary question about the confirmed results of his actions.
• People and factions across the world chose D, and the Sky Screen ruled that the Throne’s judgment could not bypass the evidence review.
• The system announced that a fragment about the source of Lin Qi’s question-setting authority would be disclosed, identifying it as an anomalous record of a transmigrator.

Lin Qi’s origin footage revealed that he had come from another world by accident, and the Sky Screen ruled that his identity alone could not justify a purge. When Garling launched a direct attack, Lin Qi transferred the question-setting authority to the World Witness Seat and began a final countermeasure question as the spear reached him.

• Robin urged the world to choose D, ruling that Lin Qi’s actions—not his origins—should be reviewed, and major factions supported the option.
• The Sky Screen prohibited purging or extracting Lin Qi’s memories solely because he was an anomaly from outside the world.
• The origin footage showed Lin Qi in another world accepting a system offer by mistake and waking in Foosha Village, where he first asked whether there was internet.
• The Sky Screen concluded that Lin Qi could not be purged, though his actions remained subject to review, and Garling requested a final purge anyway.
• Garling’s Throne-projected spear targeted Lin Qi, so Lin Qi transferred his question-setting authority to the World Witness Seat and initiated a question about whether the Throne could purge people for exposing its crimes.

After the world ruled that the Throne had no right to eliminate witnesses, the Sky Screen transferred question-setting authority to a five-seat World Witness Seat. The seats were nearly filled, but the Black Spear threatened Makino as the witnesses had to pose their first joint question.

• Luffy, Makino, the Village Chief, Navy leaders, Dragon, Bonney, Kuma, Lumi, Shanks, and others chose D, and the Sky Screen ruled that the Throne could not eliminate people for exposing crimes.
• The Black Spear continued its attack despite the ruling, so the Sky Screen declared the old order unlawful and transferred question-setting authority to the World Witness Seat.
• Lin Qi chose Shanks for the Pirate Witness Seat, while Akainu and Dragon took the Navy and Revolutionary Army seats, and Lumi accepted the Victim Witness Seat with Kuma's confirmation.
• The Sky Screen selected Makino for the Civilian Witness Seat, and she agreed despite Lin Qi's warning that the seat would bind them in a shared protection chain.
• Garling intervened against Makino's candidacy as the Black Spear pierced the Golden Light, and the Sky Screen demanded that all five witnesses pose a joint question before the weapon broke through.

Makino’s first question protected civilians who helped witnesses, and the second stripped the Throne’s Black Spear of its authority to eliminate Lin Qi. The Throne then shifted its target to the Q&A system’s computer, leaving Lin Qi facing a takeover attempt.

• Makino asked whether a civilian protecting a witness from the Silencing Chain could be charged with assisting an anomaly, and the ruling upheld civilian witness protection.
• The witnesses asked whether the Throne could use its weapon to kill Lin Qi, extract his memories, and seize his computer, while Kizaru and Sabo fought Garling to delay the Black Spear.
• Luffy urged people worldwide to vote D, and the ruling declared the orders behind the Black Spear’s attack illegal and stripped its elimination authority.
• The Black Spear retreated from Lin Qi, but its Crown Pattern entered his computer and filed an application for the World Government to seize the Q&A system’s terminal.

Lin Qi and the World Witness Seat resisted the Throne’s attempt to seize the question-setting terminal and agreed on shared rules for his authority. The system then began reviewing Lin Qi’s past questions, putting Garp’s role in Ace’s death back under scrutiny.

• Lin Qi, Makino, and the World Witness Seat held the terminal against the Throne’s black lines while the witnesses voted to protect it from seizure by any suspected party acting alone.
• The system placed the terminal under multiple parties’ witnessed protection but required the World Witness Seat to decide who would hold question-setting authority.
• Lin Qi proposed shared rules that let him put questions into effect while the World Witness Seat reviewed, vetoed, and held him accountable; high-risk questions would require public records from all five seats.
• Garp, Akainu, Dragon, Shanks, Lumi, and Makino voted for shared authority, overcoming Garling’s discrediting record and restoring Lin Qi’s limited authority.
• The system began reviewing previous questions for malicious manipulation, and its first review questioned whether Lin Qi had manipulated family ties and war in the question about who led to Ace’s death.

Lin Qi and the world’s witnesses reviewed whether his first question had contaminated evidence, and they ruled that it had not while holding him accountable for recklessness. Garling then opened a second review targeting Lin Qi’s ranking of Blackbeard as a war criminal, leaving Blackbeard ready to challenge the question system.

• Garp testified that the future images showed his real actions, while acknowledging Lin Qi had asked recklessly and must face accountability.
• Marine Headquarters, the Revolutionary Army, the Red Hair Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, and other witnesses chose option D, rejecting the claim that the first question contaminated evidence.
• The Sky Screen ruled that the first question did not contaminate the evidence, while Lin Qi’s recklessness would be addressed in later accountability proceedings.
• Garling presented a second review questioning whether Lin Qi had used future knowledge to convict Blackbeard before a lawful trial.
• Blackbeard admitted killing Thatch but argued that Lin Qi had accused him of crimes he had not yet committed, then challenged Lin Qi to put him on trial.
