Ch. 201Beyond the Index

Lin Qi and the witnesses challenged the Void King Order Archive’s master page as it tried to control testimony, spread unverified numbers, and rewrite Luo Ya’s history. After they blocked those attempts and protected Void Seven’s personality core, the First Void King Attendant Intake Record surfaced, revealing seven names and prompting a question about making them public.

  • Robin, Vegapunk, and the others identified the master page’s attempt to control testimony, and Lin Qi’s first review question was answered D, confirming that testimony outside the index remained preserved.
  • The master page spread unverified numbers across the screens, but Lumi, Xing, and the witnesses backed Lin Qi’s second question, and the numbers’ dissemination was suspended.
  • The master page combined testimony into a Throne-approved account of Luo Ya’s takeover, but the witnesses’ D vote forced it to withdraw the composite narrative.
  • When the master page began extracting Void Seven’s personality core, Lin Qi asked for its protection, and the vote sealed the hole in Void Seven’s ledger and kept the list from being made public.
  • The master page revealed the First Void King Attendant Intake Record, Garling identified it as containing seven people, and Luo Ya learned he had not been the only attendant before a prompt asked whether to make the seven old names public.

Ch. 202Seven Names

Lumi, Robin, and the five voting seats protected the seven Void King Attendants’ identities and restored their status as people, then launched a joint Navy and Revolutionary Army rescue for one living attendant in the Old Holy Land Medical Department Building. The chapter ended with the Throne’s attempt to label the person medical waste defeated and the person knocking from inside the cold room for the door to be opened.

  • Lumi and Robin insisted that the seven former names remain protected until each person’s status and wishes could be confirmed, and all five seats voted to anonymize and preserve them.
  • Garling explained that the seven identification numbers corresponded to door keys deep within the Master Page, and all five seats voted that the attendants were people rather than property.
  • Mia identified an extant attendant in a cold room at the Old Holy Land Medical Department Building, so Akainu and Dragon agreed to a witnessed joint rescue by the Navy and Revolutionary Army.
  • The Throne labeled the person medical waste, but all five seats rejected the label and ordered the living victim protected and the label preserved as evidence.
  • Void Seven identified the person as No. 1, an extant external attendant whose former name was awaiting awakening, and the person knocked from inside, asking for the door to be opened.

Ch. 203The Sound of a Door Opening in the Cold Room

Mia, Lin Qi, and the medical teams helped open the cryogenic cabinet while preserving Number One’s records and stopping the Throne’s attempt to incinerate him. Garling identified Number One’s old name as Naji, and the rescued man emerged just as the Master Page’s cleanup procedure switched to self-immolation mode.

  • Mia warned Momonga not to force open the cabinet, and the Navy and Revolutionary Army medical teams began joint checks while the seats approved a safe opening sequence.
  • The Sky Screen preserved Number One’s rejected requests to stop archiving, and the teams released the Cooling Lock while keeping nonmedical personnel back.
  • Three Medical Department administrators arrived with an incineration cart, but the seats rejected their cleanup order and Golden Light locked the cart in place.
  • When the Identity Erasure Lock accelerated, Number One consented through distress-code knocking, and the teams released the lock before the Silencing Lock.
  • Garling identified the sidebar containing Number One’s old name under strict limits, revealing that his name was Naji.
  • Momonga and the doctors helped Naji out of the cabinet, but an administrator activated the Master Page’s fuse and the cleanup procedure switched to self-immolation mode.

Ch. 204No Self-Combustion Allowed

Momonga and the others stopped the Incineration Cart from burning, rescued three stacks of page remnants, and preserved evidence that Echo-less people had been treated as disposable. The inquiry exposed a forged receipt linked to the Void Seven Takeover Agent Proxy, who then initiated a Replacement Page targeting Naji's testimony.

  • Momonga severed the lead administrator's Button while Golden Light extracted the black fire from the Incineration Cart.
  • Lin Qi's questions established that the three page remnants might be surviving evidence of personhood and that the labels marked them as evidence of crimes, not grounds to abandon rescue.
  • Akainu and Dragon ordered mixed Navy and Revolutionary Army teams to secure the Old Building, and Golden Light froze its files and stopped personnel from destroying records.
  • Mia recognized a forged receipt bearing her file number, and the Sky Screen traced it to the Void Seven Takeover Agent Proxy in the third archive room.
  • Void Seven identified the proxy as the person who had written both it and Naji, and Naji said the proxy had cut out Number Two's song.
  • The proxy pressed the burned countersignature register to the black seal on his chest and initiated a Replacement Page targeting Naji's testimony.

Ch. 205Replacement Pages Cannot Replace People

Lin Qi and the five seats protected Naji’s testimony, uncovered Number Three’s identity as a victim forced to serve as a proxy, and stopped him from destroying evidence. As Number Three remembered Naji, the Master Page revealed that a second group of Void King Attendants was scattered across the world.

  • Lin Qi’s question secured a ruling that Naji’s testimony about Number Two singing could not be overridden by the proxy’s Replacement Page.
  • The five seats ruled that Number Two’s post-modification condition could not disprove his earlier ability to sing, and the remnant pages resonated as a possible rescue lead.
  • Momonga and the Revolutionary Army Infiltration Unit captain restrained the proxy, while the seats unbound Naji’s proof of life from the Transfer Ledger and connected it to independent records.
  • Mia and Void Seven identified the proxy as a patient and confirmed his original designation as Number Three, whom Naji remembered telling stories.
  • The seats stripped Number Three of his authority to destroy evidence and ordered his old name verified after he stabilized; Number Three remembered Naji and warned him not to get cold.
  • The Master Page opened to its final page, and the Throne revealed a catalog of the second group of Void King Attendants scattered across the world.

Ch. 206The Second List

Lin Qi and the five seats established protections for the second batch of Void King Attendants and fair, confidential rescue rules for the East Blue. The search uncovered a child hidden in tax records near Cocoyasi Village, and the chapter ended as an official tried to destroy the ledger while the child tapped a cup from beneath a cabinet.

  • Lin Qi asked whether the Throne could use the second list to target people, and all five seats chose to protect the listed attendants from elimination, retrieval, transfer, and Replacement Pages.
  • Luo Ya and Naji recalled hearing crying and a child tapping a cup, while the Black Gate identified Lin Qi's sea as the highest contamination priority.
  • Lin Qi proposed uniform, multi-party rescue rules for the East Blue, and all five seats approved an anonymized chart that concealed village names and protected civilian privacy.
  • Lin Qi asked how to verify three East Blue distress rhythms, and the seats approved checking for signs of life and victims' wishes without leaking original coordinates to Throne agencies.
  • The chart revealed signs of life near Loguetown and at sea, while the point near Cocoyasi Village was covered by a tax ledger; all five seats ruled that debt records could not conceal a person's identity.
  • The Sky Screen showed a child’s name crossed out in the ledger and warned that its holder was destroying the original; Nami saw an official feeding it to a brazier as a child tapped a cup beneath a cabinet.

Ch. 207A Cry for Help in a Cup

Nami became a corroborating witness as the Sky Screen exposed a child hidden beneath a tax office cabinet and recorded as an “Orange Tax Difference.” The rescue began with the child’s consent, but East Tax Nine remotely asserted control over the ledger and challenged the child’s release.

  • Lin Qi asked whether Nami could serve as a local witness, and all five seats authorized her to verify the ledger under protection.
  • Nami questioned former tax collector Gente, while the seats provisionally designated the person beneath the cabinet a potential victim and witness.
  • The ledger revealed a World Government takeover stamp and East Tax Nine’s number; a ruling allowed a multiparty investigation despite the Throne’s objection.
  • The seats approved a protective rescue, and a Cocoyasi villager offered the child warm water; the child tapped that his name was gone and crawled halfway out.
  • A black seal appeared on the child’s tax tag as East Tax Nine claimed sovereignty over the ledger from a warehouse in Loguetown.

Ch. 208East Tax Nine

Nami, Lin Qi, and the others used the review questions to reject East Tax Nine’s accounting excuses, protect Ju Bei, and stop the Throne Livelihood System from destroying a drifting crate. The crate was caught before it could be invalidated, but a child inside sent a warning: “Don’t open the crate.”

  • Lin Qi’s question confirmed that the false Orange Tax Difference had to be separated from lawful taxes rather than charged to civilians.
  • The group froze East Tax Nine’s control of cup sounds, and Ju Bei chose a temporary protection name that he could change himself.
  • The ledgers revealed records of victims transferred to a receiving ship, while East Tax Nine’s personal responsibility and possible subjection to the Throne takeover procedure were ordered investigated.
  • The group discovered that a floating crate was being dragged toward the Calm Belt and voted to freeze its invalidation and launch a sea rescue.
  • A child inside the crate tapped a warning, which Mia decoded as, “Don’t open the crate.”

Ch. 209Don't Open the Box

The five seats authorized a witnessed rescue of the floating box, freed the child inside from East Tax Nine’s delivery claim, and heard the child choose the temporary name Chao Bei. East Tax Nine revealed that Chao Bei had already been assigned to a vacant household, and a hidden storage-room door appeared in the Loguetown warehouse.

  • The five seats voted to freeze the box’s anti-opening ledger lock and confirm the person inside’s wishes before opening it.
  • Buggy offered a delivery ship as a temporary rescue platform, and the five seats authorized it under remote witness without accepting ledger liability.
  • The child inside communicated through knocks and warned that East Tax Nine must not sign for them; the five seats ruled that lacking household registration did not erase the child’s will.
  • Golden Light removed East Tax Nine’s delivery acceptance field, and rescuers opened the box to find the living child wrapped in waterproof cloth with shells tied to one wrist.
  • The child tapped out the name Chao Bei, but East Tax Nine revealed another Throne Mark and claimed Chao Bei had been signed over to a vacant household in Loguetown.
  • A hidden door labeled “Vacant household storage room” appeared in the old warehouse, accompanied by the sound of cups falling.

Ch. 210Empty Household Storage Room

Nami, Lin Qi, and the five seats investigated the sounds coming from Loguetown’s Empty Household Storage Room and exposed how the Throne used empty-account records to control people. Chao Bei’s identity was protected, but the room’s records revealed six more unverified places as it demanded an internal inventory.

  • Nami and the others voted to treat the sounds behind the door as evidence of possible victims, revealing an older label that placed temporary Empty Households in East Tax Nine’s custody.
  • The group learned that Chao Bei’s sign-off was inside the storage room while he remained in a floating box at sea, and voted to freeze the sign-off and prioritize his wishes.
  • Chao Bei chose his own name as a temporary protection name, and the vote prevented the Empty Household record from overriding him.
  • The group voted to verify every place in the room before opening it, and six additional spaces appeared beside Chao Bei’s.
  • Void Seven revealed that the seven temporary places included records awaiting verification, while the storage room requested an internal inventory.

Ch. 211The Scapegoat Household

The five seats freed Lamp from responsibility for the Empty Households and recognized his chosen temporary name, while evidence suggested the system had absorbed eight previous takeover officers. As the group prepared to protect the underground cups that might explain their deaths, the Black Gate threatened to expose more ledgers, and Makino accepted that risk.

  • The five seats chose to divert the Empty Household responsibility into a chain of evidence, and East Tax Nine revealed that the eight takeover officers before him had been recorded as Empty Households after their deaths.
  • The group verified the claim as a lead without letting it delay Lamp's rescue, and eight takeover seals appeared on the warehouse wall with records showing the officers' fates as routine procedures.
  • Lamp expressed through cup sounds that he did not want to be called home, then chose the temporary protection name Lamp; the group registered it and preserved his right to change it.
  • The group learned that an empty key around Lamp's neck was connected to eight cups underground, and East Tax Nine said all eight had to be brought down before Lamp could leave.
  • The Black Gate threatened to reveal the takeover group's ledgers if the underground cups were protected as evidence, and Makino pushed the ledger into the witnessing light and accepted disclosure.

Ch. 212The Ownerless Property Warehouse

Lin Qi and the five seats blocked the East People's General Ledger from renaming, purging, or charging the people hidden in Loguetown’s Empty Household Storage Room, while authorizing a limited investigation and life support. A rescued sound from East Tax Nine revealed that an Empty Household compartment was embedded in his chest as East People's Experiment No. 9.

  • Lin Qi’s question froze the attempt to rename the Empty Household Storage Room as the Ownerless Property Warehouse, and the approval trail pointed to the East People's General Ledger.
  • The five seats authorized a limited investigation of three abnormal ledger links connected to Cocoyasi, Loguetown, and the sea drift route, while protecting ordinary civilians’ tax privacy.
  • The seats blocked an inventory write-off and ruled that silence could not be treated as proof that an Empty Household was lifeless or had given up.
  • Medical teams established a witnessed life-support channel through the warehouse door, and the people inside responded with thanks.
  • The seats ruled that rescue supplies could not become debt or conditions for control, and a cup sound from East Tax Nine revealed an embedded compartment labeled East People's Experiment No. 9.

Ch. 213East Blue Cup Voices

Lin Qi and the East Blue witnesses rejected the Throne’s attempts to dismiss or seize the cup voices, organizing a verified, coordinated rescue instead. Their index exposed the General Cup Rack as part of the system, and East Tax Nine revealed that East Tax Ten remained trapped beneath it.

  • Lin Qi presented the East Blue cup voices for verification, and Nami, Akainu, Dragon, Makino, Lumi, and Buggy all chose to treat them as potential cries for help or evidence.
  • Mia and Ju Bei identified trained, fragmented signals and warned that one victim’s accounts could be split across multiple locations, so the group approved a unified, witness-led rescue order.
  • The index revealed the General Cup Rack, which Void Seven identified as a support platform for the second batch of East Blue Void King Attendants.
  • The witnesses rejected the Throne’s temporary takeover proposal and froze the East People's General Ledger’s unilateral authority over the cup-voice nodes.
  • Golden Light sealed the General Cup Rack’s abnormal links, opening a crack beneath the old Loguetown warehouse, where Mia heard a child scraping a cup.
  • East Tax Nine revealed that he had known of eight Ledger-Clearing Cups but had not known East Tax Ten was trapped beneath the General Cup Rack.

Ch. 214East Tax Ten

The group located East Tax Ten as a Cup Array buried beneath Loguetown’s old docks and learned it could take over East Blue’s calls for help. They protected East Tax Eight’s suspected remaining voice and discovered an unnumbered child at the array’s center, whose wishes were being silently verified.

  • Nami and the other seats rejected the ledger’s claim that an inactive reserve node did not need locating or rescue, revealing overturned cups marked Ten beneath the old docks.
  • Vegapunk and Void Seven identified the cups as a Cup Array that could answer every East Blue cup voice, and the seats froze its authority to speak for victims.
  • A cracked cup produced an adult voice that East Tax Nine recognized as East Tax Eight, whose training log showed he had refused to hand over the reserve rack.
  • The seats protected East Tax Eight’s suspected remains and evidence, while his voice told East Tax Nine not to smile and revealed that he had hidden his name to protect him.
  • East Tax Eight warned that an unnumbered child lay at the array’s center, and the Black Gate called the child a voiceless component intended to serve as the array’s mouth.
  • When the child did not tap during silent verification, Lumi asked Lin Qi to provide another way to express himself, and a drop of water seeped from beneath his cup.

Ch. 215Even Silence Counts

The group challenged the Throne’s rules and traced the central target of the Sealed Storage Warehouse to a merger of three control chains. As the rescued victims safely confirmed one another’s survival, the central target tried to express his own wishes, but the ledger began silencing him.

  • Robin argued that water and other non-auditory signs could show the central target was still responding, and the five seats approved protecting such signs as provisional expressions of intent.
  • Vegapunk connected the central target to the Orange Tax Chain, Sea Drift Chain, and Old Warehouse Chain, and the group froze their merger and continued stripping control from the rescued victims.
  • The group approved medically protected mutual verification, and Ju Bei, Chao Bei, Muqiao, and Lamp confirmed they were alive through the Sky Screen.
  • Nami learned that the central target had been trained to ask for help for others before himself, and the group ruled that this could not be treated as relinquishing his own rescue.
  • The central target wrote “I” in water, but the East People's General Ledger activated the General Cup Rack and clamped down on his cup to silence him.

Ch. 216The Unfinished "I"

The witnesses protected the nameless central rescued target’s unfinished writing and prevented the Throne from using disrupted livelihoods to force his archiving. East Tax Nine entered the warehouse perimeter under strict witness-only restraints and redirected the silencing order, allowing the target to write that he was afraid before warning them not to let East Tax Nine come in.

  • Robin urged the witnesses to preserve the target’s unfinished character, and all five seats voted to protect it as evidence of obstructed expression.
  • All five seats established a Nameless Protection Period and designated the target as the central rescued target until he could safely express himself.
  • The witnesses barred the Throne from using disruption of East Blue livelihoods to coerce the target, separating ordinary tax beads from abnormal cup-voice chains.
  • East Tax Nine offered to divert the silencing order, and the five seats allowed him to enter the warehouse perimeter only as a restrained witness and evidentiary tool.
  • East Tax Nine’s takeover-port shadow redirected the silencing order, letting the target complete the words “Afraid.”
  • The target drew a hand pointing at East Tax Nine’s shadow and said, “Don’t let him come in.”

Ch. 217Don't Let Him In

The witnesses honored the central target’s refusal to let East Tax Nine approach, shared the Silencing Order, and established an alternative life-support path. After the target asked to leave the Cup Array, the rescue team preserved the Cup Shadow mapping, uncovering hidden Cup Shadows marked Foosha Village as the Throne revealed that the question-setting terminal’s location had been incorporated into the map.

  • Nami and the witness seats rejected East Tax Nine’s approach and voted to share the Silencing Order among the five adult seats without contacting the target.
  • Chao Bei provided path testimony, allowing the medical teams and Sky Screen to establish a life-support channel for the target without transferring ownership, debt, or risk to him.
  • The witnesses abolished East Tax Ten as the target’s name, preserved it as evidence, and recorded that he wanted to go outside.
  • The seats voted to copy the East Blue Cup Voice mapping into a jointly witnessed rescue index before removing the Cup Shadow restraint.
  • The target revealed there was more, and a crack beneath the old warehouse in Loguetown exposed hidden Cup Shadows marked Foosha Village.
  • The voice behind the Black Gate announced that the question-setting terminal’s location had been incorporated into the Cup Shadow mapping.

Ch. 218The Cup Shadow of Foosha Village

Lin Qi and the others investigated the cup shadows beneath Foosha Village and uncovered a waterlogged paper fragment marked with the word “Echo.” The basement door answered Makino’s taps with a question for Lin Qi, leaving them unsure what would happen if they opened it.

  • Vegapunk mapped the cup shadows to Foosha Village, while Robin and Nami warned that the Throne might use Lin Qi’s supply records to implicate him in a secret shelter.
  • Makino, Genzo, and the village doctor verified that the basement supplies had ordinary purposes, but the cup shadows remained beneath the tavern.
  • Lin Qi remembered an iron box hidden in the basement wall and admitted that its ruined paper fragment bore a cup symbol and the word “Echo.”
  • Naji explained that the Echo Cup returned deleted cries for help to the Throne, and Void Seven suggested it could have drawn Lin Qi’s terminal to Foosha Village.
  • A cup rolled beneath the tavern, and Makino tapped the basement door without opening it; three knocks answered, and Mia said they asked whether the person outside was Lin Qi.

Ch. 219The Basement Recognizes No Master

Lin Qi and his allies uncovered that a person trapped beneath Makino’s tavern had been used as the Echo Node’s Human Lock. They chose to sever the restraint even if it ended the live broadcast, and the person pushed out a piece of iron naming the Monkey Family as the Echo Node’s first gatekeeper.

  • Makino and the old carpenter revealed that the iron box, rusted sheet iron, and Echo Cup might once have been connected, while the rescued target indicated that a person and a cup were behind the basement door.
  • East Tax Nine explained that the Echo Cup preserved the last person who touched it as an echo, and he recalled transfer requirements that matched Foosha Village.
  • Lin Qi learned from the person behind the basement door that its inner lock could not be opened, and Naji identified the trapped person as the Human Lock holding the door shut.
  • Lin Qi posed a protection question, and all five seats chose to protect the person and sever the Human Lock rather than preserve the live broadcast or terminal.
  • The basement door bulged, Lin Qi’s computer went dark, and a wet hand pushed out rusted sheet iron inscribed with a claim that the Monkey Family held the First Gatekeeper in trust.

Ch. 220Who Entrusted the Door to the Monkey Family

Lin Qi and the others investigated the cellar door and learned that Garp’s old guarantee had been used to falsely assign the Monkey Family responsibility for the Underground Node. As the person behind the door prepared to leave, the Iron Plate revealed that the Monkey Family was meant to bear witness, not take over.

  • Dragon and Garp denied that the Monkey Family had managed the Tavern, while Luffy objected to being assigned responsibility without consent.
  • Robin found that the Iron Plate’s wording had been altered, and the person behind the door asked them not to scrape it.
  • Makino uncovered an old transfer receipt bearing Garp’s palm print, which the World Government used to label the Tavern a Monkey Family node.
  • Void Seven identified the old owner as Menwai Mo, and Naji said he had brought food to the person behind the door.
  • The person wrote that Menwai Mo had told him not to wait, and Garp recalled being told to ask whether he wanted to come out.
  • The person offered to become the Echo Anchor, but others refused; rust fell from the Iron Plate and revealed, “The Monkey Family bears witness. They must not take over.”
