Chapter Summaries

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.

The witnesses ruled that Blackbeard’s future actions could guide precautions and investigation but could not convict him, while his real crimes would be reviewed separately. Garling then challenged Lin Qi’s authority, and the Throne targeted Makino’s neutrality as the first internal review of the World Witness Seat began.

• Ace, Whitebeard, Akainu, Dragon, Shanks, and the Civilian Witness Seat chose D, limiting future footage to risk warnings and investigative leads while separating evidence of real crimes.
• Lin Qi confirmed the ruling, placing the murder of Thatch and Blackbeard’s other known plans into independent review; Impel Down raised security in response to the public warning.
• Garling submitted a general review questioning whether Lin Qi could keep serving as question-setting executor, and Lin Qi accepted conditional oversight and possible removal.
• The World Witness Seat presented option D, allowing Lin Qi to serve temporarily under the Common Rules, public records, victim objections, review, and a removal mechanism.
• The Throne accused Makino of lacking neutrality because she had known Lin Qi for a long time, and a black ring appeared beneath her as an independent review began.

Makino defended her qualification as the Civilian Witness Seat despite her relationship with Lin Qi, and the review upheld her seat with conflict-of-interest rules. The Throne then targeted Lumi’s independence, and Lumi prepared to speak for herself.

• Garling challenged Makino’s qualification because she knew Lin Qi, while Makino disclosed their relationship and challenged the World Government’s own impartiality.
• Garling submitted Makino’s tavern ledger as evidence of her ties to pirates, and Makino explained that she served customers without regard to what they might become.
• The Navy Review Seat, Revolutionary Army, Red Hair Pirates, Victim Witness Seat, and public supported option D, preserving Makino’s seat with disclosure and review requirements.
• Makino’s review passed, the Golden Light receded, and she rewrapped Lin Qi’s bleeding hand while reminding him to pay his tab.
• The Throne began a contamination review against Lumi, accusing her rescuers of influencing her, and Lumi said she would speak for herself.

Lumi defended her right to choose her own name and testify, and the Sky Screen ruled that the Holy Land Medical Department’s files gave it no guardianship over her. Garling then launched a contamination review against Akainu over his role in the Ohara refugee ship massacre, and Akainu prepared to answer for himself.

• Lumi told Garling that she chose her own name and that her rescuers’ affection did not mean they chose for her.
• Lumi and the other witness seats selected option D, establishing protections that let minor victims express their own wishes without a guardian speaking for them.
• Lin Qi and Mia showed that Lumi’s cold storage file contained no guardianship agreement, and the Sky Screen ruled that the file documented unlawful detention and experimentation.
• Lumi chose option D, and Bonney embraced her as the black markings receded from Lumi’s name card.
• Garling targeted Akainu with a contamination review over the killing of civilians aboard an Ohara refugee ship, and Akainu said he would answer himself.

Akainu accepted responsibility for the Ohara refugee ship bombardment, and the witnesses voted to keep him in the Navy Review Seat under independent oversight while opening the case for public accountability. The Throne then targeted Shanks’s eligibility as a witness because of his Figarland ties, and Shanks began to reveal what he had hidden.

• Akainu admitted carrying out the order to bombard the Ohara refugee ship and agreed to have his past cases reviewed.
• Robin demanded an independent investigation into the Ohara incident and chose option D, which kept Akainu eligible while limiting the navy’s power over its own cases.
• Sengoku, Tsuru, Kizaru, Aokiji, Dragon, Shanks, Robin, Lumi, Makino, and civilians supported option D, and the Sky Screen established the Ohara case’s public accountability process.
• Akainu ordered Tsuru to open the Ohara case, while Robin said she would watch the proceedings.
• The Throne accused Shanks of a family conflict of interest because of his Figarland blood and hidden records.
• Shanks told Luffy not to answer for him and said he would reveal everything he had kept hidden.

Shanks accepted recusal and multi-seat review over matters tied to the Figarland Family, the Straw Hat Index, and the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika, keeping his Pirate Witness Seat. The Throne then began challenging Dragon’s eligibility for the World Witness Seat, and Dragon prepared to answer.

• Shanks disclosed his ties to the Figarland bloodline, the Straw Hat Index, and the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika, while denying that they justified Garling taking control.
• Robin explained that Shanks should disclose conflicts and recuse himself from decisions on those matters, while the Straw Hat Index stayed with its current holder under multiple-party protection.
• Shanks, the Red Hair Pirates, Akainu, Dragon, Lumi, and Makino supported option D, and the Sky Screen established the recusal rules without removing Shanks’s seat.
• Shanks told Garling that he belonged to the people who had rescued him and to his own ship, not the Figarland Family.
• The Throne accused Dragon of lacking neutrality because he sought to overthrow the World Government, and Dragon stopped Sabo from intervening so he could answer the challenge himself.
