Arc 8The Void King Archive
Lin Qi and the witness seats establish limits on his authority, expose Garling’s crimes, and pursue the evidence hidden in the Void King Order Archive. The Archive awakens and opens its master index, threatening to erase testimony that falls outside its records.
- The witness seats chose option D on Lin Qi’s oversight, and successive reviews preserved Makino, Lumi, Akainu, Shanks, and Dragon’s eligibility under disclosure and accountability rules.
- Lin Qi’s stress test exposed his former plan to sell future information and his private preparations for Foosha Village, leading to rules against private gain and undisclosed conflicts.
- After the Throne offered private deals and threatened children, Lin Qi and the witness seats protected Xing, stopped Garling’s hostage binding, and stripped Garling of his command and adjudication authority.
- Shanks, Buggy, Mia, and Xing helped expose the abuse of the Old Blood Bank, while the seats blocked the Throne from retrieving Garling and preserved his testimony naming Imu.
- The seats opened limited review of the Void King Order Archive and protected its attendants, including Zero, as Garling revealed that the archive held criminal evidence and erased identities.
- Lin Qi rejected the Throne’s pardon bargain, and Garling revealed Zero’s former name as Luo Ya, which Rayleigh and Buggy supported with testimony about the Roger Pirates sheltering a child after God Valley.
- Mia’s records exposed Void Seven as the archive scribe, and Void Seven admitted that Garling had ordered Luo Ya’s name erased before Zero spoke his name and awakened the archive.
- The witnesses protected Luo Ya and Void Seven from the archive’s control, shared the burden of defending Foosha Village’s terminal, and watched the archive open its master index as Garling warned it could erase all testimony outside it.
