Chapter 100 - Chapter 100: The Great Disconnect – Kuma’s Mercy and the Final Log-Out

This was the 'Final Frame' of the Sabaody Archipelago arc. Amine crawled out of the wreckage, his vision flickering between 'Real-World' and 'Error-Screens'. He saw the 'Pacifistas' surrounding his crew, their palms glowing with 'Replicated-Kizaru-Lasers'. And then, the 'Final Boss' arrived.

​Bartholomew Kuma. The man who had 'Deleted' Zoro's pain at Thriller Bark.

​[Detection: User 'Kuma' is 'Executing' the 'Log-Out' Command.]

[Target: Zoro – Status: Fading...]

​Pop!

​Zoro vanished. Then Brook. Then Sanji. To the rest of the crew, it looked like they were being 'Killed'. To Amine's 'Scholar-Eyes', Kuma was 'Force-Closing' their 'User-Sessions' and 'Teleporting' their 'Data' to 'Safety-Servers' across the world.

​"He's not killing them, Luffy!" Amine screamed, coughing up violet blood. "He's 'Backing-them-Up'! He's saving us from the 'Admiral-Purge'!"

​Luffy was on his knees, his spirit 'Corrupted' by the sight of his friends vanishing. "No... stop it! Amine! Do something!"

​Amine looked at Kuma, who was now walking toward Luffy. The Admiral Kizaru was watching, his 'Light-Speed' eyes curious. Amine knew he had only one 'Move' left. A move that would 'Overload' his stylus and 'Lock' his system for months.

​"Kuma!" Amine shouted, raising his cracked Golden Stylus one last time. "I'm 'Syncing' with your 'Paw-Logic'! I'm going to 'Anchor' Luffy's 'Data-Path' to the 'Hancock-Server'! He needs to learn the 'Haki-Expansion-Pack' to survive the 'Great-War'!"

​Kuma looked at Amine, a faint, hidden 'Admin-Approval' in his eyes. He raised his palm and slammed it into Luffy.

​Pop!

​Luffy vanished. The Captain was 'Logged-Out'.

​Now, only Amine remained, standing alone in front of an Admiral and a Shichibukai. His system was at 0.1%. His Golden Stylus turned into grey ash in his hand.

​"And what about you, Scholar?" Kizaru asked, his finger glowing with a 'Fatal-Light'. "Where is your 'Back-up'?"

​Amine smiled, a bloody, defiant grin. "I don't need a 'Back-up', Kizaru. I'm the 'Author'. And I just wrote a 'Cliffhanger' that your 'Light' can't reach!"

​Kuma's palm hit Amine. The world 'Disconnected'.
