The battle shifted to the Galley-La headquarters. The fire was roaring, but it wasn't a normal fire; it was a 'Wipe-Command' burning through the building. Amine found himself cornered by Rob Lucci and Kaku.
"You think your 'System' makes you special, Scholar?" Lucci said, his pigeon cooing a dark, digital rhythm. "We are the CP9. We are the 'Executioners' of the world's logic. Our 'Rokushiki' isn't just martial arts; it's the mastery of the world's physics engine."
Lucci moved so fast he 'Frame-Skipped'. "Soru." He appeared behind Amine before the screen could even 'Refresh'. "Shigan." His finger pierced Amine's shoulder, but instead of blood, a stream of 'Violet Data' leaked out.
"You're bleeding 'Ink', Amine," Kaku laughed, his body twisting into a giraffe-form that defied all biological code. "You're becoming more 'Digital' than human. Soon, you'll just be another 'Asset' for us to 'Delete'."
Amine looked at Luffy, who was pinned under a falling beam, and Nami, who was surrounded by 'Government-Static'. He realized then that he couldn't win by 'Editing'. He needed to 'Re-Program' his own soul.

Amine looked at the 'Reader'. "If you're reading this... if you want us to survive the 'Admin's Wrath'... hold on. This story is about to get 'Unchecked'."
