Chapter Summaries

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.

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.
