The Auction House was no longer a building; it was a 'Structural-Ruin'. The smoke from Luffy's punch was hanging in the air like 'Pixelated-Dust', and the silence that followed was so heavy it felt like a 'Server-Mute'. Amine stood there, his Golden Stylus glowing with a frantic, overcharged violet light, his HUD flashing red warnings about the approaching 'Admiral-Protocol'.
Suddenly, a presence emerged from the backstage—a man with long silver hair and glasses that seemed to reflect the very 'Source-Code' of the world. Silvers Rayleigh.
[WARNING: Unknown Entity Detected.]
[Status: Legendary Tier – Level: ERROR.]
[Haki-Signature: Absolute 'Master-Key' Access.]
Amine's system started to 'Glitch'. The windows on his screen didn't just flicker; they 'Bowed'. "You... you're not just a pirate," Amine whispered, his stylus shaking in his hand. "You're a 'Legacy-User'. You have 'Root-Access' to the world's 'Physical-Engine'!"
Rayleigh laughed, a sound that felt like a 'System-Reset' of all the fear in the room. He walked toward the slave-collar on the giant behind him and, without any tools, he simply 'Pinched' the 'Code'.
Ping!
The collar fell off. No explosion. No 'Detonation-Script'. Amine's jaw dropped. "How? I spent 300 seconds 'Hacking' those! You just... you just 'Manually-Overwrote' the government's encryption with your bare hands!"
Rayleigh turned his gaze toward Amine. His eyes weren't looking at Amine's face; they were looking at the 'Violet-Subroutine' floating in front of him. "So, you're the 'Scholar' the birds are singing about. The one who 'Edits' the world. Tell me, boy... do you 'Read' the story, or are you the one 'Publishing' it?"
Amine felt a wave of 'Conqueror's Haki' wash over him. It wasn't an attack; it was a 'System-Audit'. Rayleigh's Haki was like a 'High-Level Encryption' that Amine's 'Scholar-Class' couldn't 'Decode'.
"I'm just trying to 'Patch' the tragedies, Rayleigh-san," Amine replied, his violet HUD finally stabilizing. "The World Government has 'Locked' the truth of the 'Void Century' in a 'Read-Only' format. I'm here to change the 'Permissions'."
Rayleigh smiled, a knowing glint in his eyes. "The 'Void Century' isn't just a 'File', young Scholar. It's a 'Backup-World' that the 20 Kings tried to 'Delete'. We, the Roger Pirates... we saw it. We reached the 'Final-Chapter' (Laugh Tale), but we were 'Too Early' for the 'Global-Update'."
