A Mother's Departure Does Not Mean Abandonment

She didn't sign it.

Robin reached out and covered the section for "voluntarily relinquishing guardianship."

Akainu asked, "Have you seen the original documents?"

"I was only two years old when my mother left Ohara, and she didn't show me any documents."

"Then how do you confirm it?"

She recognized me when she came back.

Robin moved his hand away.

"A person who voluntarily relinquishes custody may still recognize the child."

Nami turned her head.

"Do you really have to say this now?"

Akainu did not avoid it.

"I need to confirm why the document was created."

"Check the documents; don't make assumptions based on what happened to her on the day she was eight."

Robin interjected, "Nami, let him finish."

After the Navy Archives is opened, Olvia's permission to go to sea appears on the screen.

I voluntarily left Ohara to conduct archaeological research.

[Daughter Nicole Robin is being cared for by her brother's family.]

[Prolonged absence from the country is considered a waiver of direct guardianship]

Lin Qi asked, "Who added the last line?"

"Enies Lobby Population Management Office"

Did you see it when Olvia went out to sea?

"There was no signature or fingerprint."

Dragon retrieved another letter from the Ohara documents preserved by the Revolutionary Army.

"This was left to Dr. Clover before Olvia left the island. She instructed the research team not to send the route back to Ohara if they encountered danger, and to leave all her personal earnings to Robin."

Nami asked, "She even sent money?"

Robin looked at the letter.

My aunt said that my mother never sent anything back.

"The money was seized by Enies Lobby on the grounds that it was obtained through illegal archaeological work."

"Then they used her not sending money as proof that she abandoned the child?"

"That's exactly what the file says."

Robin brought the letter closer.

It ends with only a short sentence.

Please tell Robin that I work at sea.

After she finished reading it, she put the letter back on the public page.

"The day my mother came back, she didn't let me call her 'Mother'."

Luffy asked, "Why?"

"The Navy has surrounded Ohara; she doesn't want me to be recognized."

Did you call out?

"It was called."

"Did she say yes?"

Robin didn't respond to that.

The sound of pages turning came from the other side of the screen.

Aokiji's call request lit up, and Akainu glanced at it before answering.

Kuzan was wearing an eye patch, and a corner of the deck behind him was frozen solid.

"Olvia's arrest record is in my possession."

Robin's gaze fell on his face.

"You were there too."

"Exist."

Where is Saul?

"Process Olvia's records first."

"You decide the order?"

Kuzan removed his blindfold.

"The document regarding the voluntary relinquishment of guardianship on Enies Lobby was recorded before the bombardment of Ohara, and it was signed by Spandine."

Akainu revealed the time.

Four hours before the Buster Call activated.

"Olvia has been arrested; she refused to answer who Robin was on the transport ship."

So it was written as "abandoned"?

Spandine asked her if she acknowledged having children on the island, and she said no.

Nami looked at Robin.

She's protecting you.

"I know."

The Throne Page, however, shows a screenshot of Olvia's interrogation answers.

I have no relatives in Ohara that I need to find.

Do not bring any children for verification.

I had already given up my family status when I left.

After the third sentence appeared, Robin paused the scene.

That's an inappropriate response.

Kuzan stated, "The original interrogations are kept by government personnel; I've only seen excerpts."

Robin separated the three sentences.

"The first question asked if she had any children on the island, the second asked if she would take the children to identify them, and the third question changed the color of the paper."

Robin had read too many old papers; he could tell the difference just by looking at the ink absorption at the edges.

Akainu removed the third sentence.

Another question was hidden behind it.

Would you be willing to give up your academic career in exchange for your daughter's survival?

Olvia's answer consisted of only two words.

[No answer]

Nami asked, "How does not answering mean abandoning your family?"

"Truncate the title and then combine it with the first two sentences."

Lin Qi called the Unanswered to the side of the page.

Are you familiar with this type of record?

The Unanswered was written on the paper.

[Refusing to answer will result in the content being categorized as available for others to fill in]

Robin stared at those two words.

She didn't choose the scholar, nor did she choose her daughter.

Throne Insert Prompt.

[Refusing to choose between the two is considered a waiver of the priority protection]

Luffy said into the Den Den Mushi, "Why do we have to choose one?"

"Because they were afraid that Ohara's research would remain."

After Robin finished speaking, he completely removed the seam from the third sentence.

The other end of the line connects to Bellemere's adopted daughter.

Enies Lobby first wrote Olvia as abandoning her daughter, and then added another deceased mother to Robin's character.

One gap is filled with another.

Nami asked, "What will happen to Olvia's record if Bellemere's relationship with her is dissolved?"

After verifying the information, Vegapunk replied, "Robin will return to her original mother-daughter relationship, but her willingness to give up will remain."

"Then shut it down."

"Olvia has passed away, and it is impossible to confirm whether she would be willing to resume guardianship."

Robin shook his head.

"I don't need to reinstate the guardianship I had when I was eight."

"What would you like?"

"Keep the fact that she protected me, and delete the conclusion that she voluntarily gave up on me."

Nami asked, "What about the mother-daughter relationship?"

Robin turned the pages of Olvia's letter.

"She is my mother, and there's no need for Enies Lobby to restore this."

Lin Qi wrote out the question.

[Nicole Olvia's refusal to answer either of the two questions can be interpreted as her actively abandoning her daughter.]

All three old options will now be set to "no answer" as the default selection.

Lin Qi handed the pen to Robin.

"You write the fourth line."

Robin took the pen.

She stopped halfway through writing and changed two words.

[D: A mother's refusal to answer between her beliefs and her child does not constitute abandonment of either party; protective denial cannot be used to sever kinship ties.]

Dragon chooses D.

Makino then voted out of the Civilian Witness Seats.

"People who go out to work and don't come home every day shouldn't be labeled as not having children."

Akainu has confirmed that the judicial compilation is invalid.

Just as Buggy was about to stamp the document, Robin spoke up.

"Wait a moment."

"What's wrong now?"

Whether Ohara's research was illegal is not a topic for this discussion.

"I never said I was going to research it."

"The Pirate Seat's confirmation text states that anything the World Government forbids us to investigate should be investigated."

Is there a problem?

"It could easily allow the Throne to re-link the mother-daughter relationship with the archaeological charges."

Buggy crossed that out.

"Then write that a mother is a mother, and a book is a book."

The last vote fell.

The phrase "voluntarily relinquished" has been removed from Olvia's name.

The relationship pages before Robin was eight years old reappear, but no guardianship ownership is generated; only the identities of mother and daughter remain.

The payment sent by Olvia was also returned from the seizure records on Enies Lobby.

The amount wasn't much, and there were only six visits.

They were all sent before Robin's birthday.

Five of them were confiscated.

The last delivery failed, and the envelope remains in the Enies Lobby vault.

Akainu ordered the footage to be retrieved.

There was no "Happy Birthday" written on the envelope.

There was only one piece of advice.

If she asks, just say it's too far out at sea.

Robin watched for a long time.

The sound of chewing came from Luffy's direction, followed by a rebuke from Nami across the distance.

"You're still eating at a time like this?"

"Sanji brought it."

"Robin, do you want to read the letter?"

Robin transferred the envelope to his personal safekeeping account.

"I'll look into it later."

However, after the Throne's relationship page was restored, the investigation into Ohara's relatives was restarted.

Below Olvia's name, a person confirmed dead by the Navy appears in the protected object column.

[Temporary Guardian: Haguwar D. Saul]

[Recipient of Death Liability: Nicole Robin]

Kuzan placed the blindfold aside.

"The responsibility for this death should lie with me first."
