Now that it is time for the Prosecution to make his case, I would like to enter the following quote into evidence. This is an itemized list of all bets made willingly and of sound mind by the defendant.
Behold the 4 years worth of debt that has gone unpaid.
It appears that the defenses entire case may rely on the fact that there is no proof that Egghead is not truly over. However, I raise you two points:
1. Not only is there proof that Egghead is over
2. The original bet made by the defendant did not even specify the end of Egghead as when he agreed to begin paying his debt.
Now the proof that Egghead is over resides in the naming of One Piece Chapter 1127:
Bailiff I enter the manga chapter title as evidence “Adventure in the Mysterious Kingdom”
Now there have been over 20 chapters named similarly. And each of them are used to trigger a new storyline in fact, to date there is only a single time one arc featured two of these chapters. That would be an island Luffy never even set foot on:
- Chapter 701: "Adventure in the Country of Love, Passion, and Toys" (愛と情熱とオモチャの国の冒険, "Ai to Jōnetsu to Omocha no Kuni no Bōken")
- Chapter 711: "Adventure in the Land of the Little People" (小人の国の冒険, "Kobito no Kuni no Bōken")
Now, the defense will need to prove that not only is Oda changing his basic narrative structure over 1100 chapters into the story but that this plot line on Elbaf must somehow circle back to the island of egghead which officially has been emptied of main characters.
As for point 2 I’d like to enter the following quote to evidence:
The stipulation the defendant himself set for his bet was for Lucci “to fade into the background again for a longer time.” Now, seeing as the current plot of the story involves the straw hats on an island that Lucci is not only away from but also has 0 desire to travel to means that Lucci has in fact faded into the background once again which means regardless of whether Egghead truly does return to the plot, Rambles MUST abide by his word and has since refused to by fraudulently trying to change the terms of a contract he not only agreed to but created!

Now, I would like to call a witness however it does not seem like any are currently available, so I will yield my time to hear the defenses rebuttal until our Witnesses may join us in court.
