Ohara's Last Scholar

Robin looked at the recipient on the Sky Screen.

No one spoke in the Sabaody cottage.

Luffy was still standing in front of her.

Nami walked to Robin's side.

Chopper looked up, his eyes already red.

Usopp pulled his hat brim down.

Sanji didn't light a second cigarette.

Zoro leaned against the wall, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, not moving it away.

Golden Light descended from the Sky Screen.

[Messages from Ohara's Dead]

[Note: This record is not a resurrection, but merely a fragment of the consciousness left behind by the victims before the destruction of the Tree of Knowledge]

[Recipient: Nicole Robin]

Robin took a soft breath.

She said, "I'm ready."

Luffy around.

"Robin."

Robin looked at him.

I want to hear it.

On the Sky Screen, the burning Tree of Knowledge reappeared.

There was no gunfire in the scene.

Only bookshelves inside the tree and scholars running around.

Dr. Clover sat at his desk, his face covered in dust, holding an unfinished sheet of paper in his hand.

He looked in a direction that didn't exist.

"Robin."

Robin's fingers gripped the edge of the book.

Dr. Clover said, "If you can hear this, it means we failed, and it means you survived."

I'm sorry.

"We exposed you to history too early, and we made you suffer from persecution too early."

"But I have never regretted acknowledging that you are a scholar of Ohara."

Robin's lips moved.

There was no sound.

Dr. Clover continued, "You used to hide behind the bookshelves when you were little."

You think we don't know?

"Actually, everyone knows that."

"We just want you to feel like you found this place yourself."

Nami raised her hand to cover her mouth.

Chopper started to cry quietly.

Dr. Clover looked down at the manuscript.

"The Tree of Knowledge will be burned."

The books will be burned.

"They'll even change my name."

"But as long as you remember, Ohara has not completely disappeared."

Don't let us dwell on the past.

"To the sea."

Go find someone who can make you laugh.

"If you find it, don't let go."

The scene changes.

An older female scholar appeared.

Robin recognized her.

She had given her bread in the library.

The female scholar laughed and said, "Robin, you never eat properly."

"If you're still alive, remember to eat hot food."

Don't always use books as a pillow.

Books can feel pain, and people can feel pain too.

Usopp sniffed.

"This grandma speaks so gently."

Sanji said in a low voice, "I'll make hot soup for Robin-chan from now on."

Nami glanced at him.

"This time it's okay."

Another scholar appeared in the Sky Screen.

"Robin, I still owe you a compendium of sea creatures."

Sorry, I couldn't lend it to you.

"If you see any sea creatures on other islands, draw them for me."

A young scholar smiled and waved.

"Robin, I haven't thanked you yet for correcting my pronunciation of Ancient Script last time."

"You are a wonderful child."

Don't be afraid of people saying you're weird anymore.

"Smart kids are bound to be misunderstood by fools."

Chopper nodded, crying.

He's right.

Robin's tears finally fell.

She didn't wipe it.

The Sky Screen shifts to the deepest part of the Tree of Knowledge.

Olvia appears.

Robin's mother stood in the light and shadow, her face showing both weariness and a smile.

Robin looked at her and took a step forward.

"Mother."

Olvia spoke.

"Robin."

When that sound rang out, everyone in the Sabaody cabin fell silent.

Olvia said, "I once thought that leaving you in Ohara was to protect you."

"Later I realized that absence can also be hurtful."

"Sorry."

Robin shook his head.

"No."

Nami reached out to support her.

Olvia looked at her.

When you were a child, you asked me, "What is history?"

I didn't answer then.

"Now I want to tell you."

History is evidence that people lived.

"So that later generations will not repeat the same wrong road signs."

You don't have to carry all the hatred for Ohara.

"All you need to do is bring the evidence of our existence to the world."

"That's enough."

Robin burst into tears.

Luffy clenched his fists, lowered his head, and remained silent.

Olvia continued, "If you find partners, trust them."

If someone holds your hand, don't think you're not worthy.

"You are my daughter."

"Also a child of Ohara."

You should live.

"That's laughable."

"It's time to see the world we haven't seen yet."

Robin raised her hand to cover her face.

Nami hugged her.

Chopper rushed over and hugged her leg.

Luffy turned around and put the Straw Hat on Robin's head.

"Robin, after you've finished crying, we'll go pick up Ace."

Robin nodded under his Straw Hat.

"Um."

Sky Screen final scene cuts to Saul before he was frozen in ice.

He sat on the ground, his body already frozen, yet he still tried to laugh.

"Robin."

Did you hear that?

"You've really found a partner."

I knew it.

"It's right to live."

"See, you're not alone."

Kuzan stood in the Marine Headquarters Plaza, looking up at Saul.

His face was bathed in the Golden Light of the Sky Screen.

Saul says in the video, "Kuzan, if you heard that too."

Kuzan slowly clenched his fist.

Saul said, "Don't stand in the ice forever."

"Letting Robin go was the right thing you did that day."

But you can do more.

Kuzan lowered his head.

Akainu looked at him without saying a word.

The Sengoku also remained silent.

Saul looked out at the world beyond the Sky Screen.

"Ohara did not lose."

"Robin is alive."

History remains.

"That's enough."

The image disappeared.

The Sky Screen curtain has been lowered.

[The Ohara deceased's message has finished playing]

[Reward Distribution]

[Nicole Robin gains the ability: Witness of History]

[Effect 1: When reading the Poneglyph, residual image fragments related to the original text can be obtained]

[Effect 2: All historical records altered by the World Government will show their original traces when touched.]

[Effect 3: When it publicly interprets the Poneglyphs, Sky Screen can provide a Temporary Protection Protocol]

Robin looked up.

The Straw Hat was still on her head.

Nami said, "This reward is so important."

Usopp said, "That's too dangerous."

Zoro said, "That's why we must go."

Luffy said, "Hmm."

Chopper asked, "Where are we going?"

Luffy said, "Let's go to Impel Down."

Nami raised her hand and pressed it to her forehead.

I knew you'd say that.

Robin took off his Straw Hat and handed it to Luffy.

Luffy.

Luffy took it.

Robin said, "Thank you."

Luffy smiled.

"That's what a partner should do."

Marine Headquarters Plaza.

The text on the Sky Screen continues.

[Kuzan Rewards Distribution]

[Ability: Fire Seed Beneath the Ice]

[Effect: When Kuzan disobeys wrong orders to protect innocents, his stamina recovery speed is increased and the range of his freezing ability is expanded.]

Kizaru looked at Kuzan.

"Oh, this reward is perfect for you."

Akainu said, "That's troublesome too."

Kuzan said, "Are you afraid I'll stop you later?"

Akainu said, "If I'm wrong, you can stop me."

Kuzan looked at him.

You're serious.

Akainu said, "Don't make me repeat myself."

Garp laughed.

Sengoku looked at the two of them, about to speak, when the Sky Screen suddenly lit up again.

[Sakazuki additional judgment]

Akainu looked up.

The atmosphere in the square became tense again.

The responsibility for the shelling of the refugee ship cannot be erased.

[Existing penalty: Voices of the Dead, lasting effect]

[Additional Restriction: Civilian Ship Artillery Ban]

[Effective immediately, if Sakazuki orders an attack on an unarmed civilian vessel, his Magma-Magma Fruit ability will be forcibly interrupted for ten minutes.]

A low murmur arose among the marines.

Akainu looked at the Sky Screen.

After a while, he said, "Okay."

Kuzan looked at him.

Akainu said, "I will no longer fire on civilian ships."

Kizaru said, "The whole world heard that."

Akainu said, "Then let them hear it."

The Sky Screen finally shifted to the Sengoku.

[Determination of Responsibility Sengoku]

[Lockdown Confirms Liability]

[Rewards and punishments in parallel]

The Sengoku began.

[Punishment: For the next thirty days, Sengoku is prohibited from refusing to release files related to the Buster Call, citing the World Government's secrecy order.]

[Reward: Temporary strengthening of the Navy's internal review authority; for thirty days, no World Government agency may overstep its authority to access Ohara -related files.]

Crane immediately said, "This is equivalent to giving the navy thirty days."

The Sengoku said, "That's enough."

Garp said, "You'd better actually use it."

Sengoku looked at the communications soldier.

"Notify the Archive Room that all files related to Ohara be transferred to the General Staff."

"Notify Enies Lobby and request the transfer of copies of archives from the Spandine era."

"Notify Outer Harbour that CP0 remains in custody."

The communications soldier responded immediately.

Outport.

Upon hearing the order, Zero Seven whispered, "You can't stop us."

Kizaru looked at him.

"You are now evidence."

Zero Seven said, "The World Government will come to demand their return."

Kizaru said, "Then let them line up."

A new forecast appears in the sky before Sky Screen falls.

[Next installment of the Hidden Truth Series]

Why was the Seven Warlords of the Sea system created?

[And, who is using legal pirates to rule the Affiliated Nation?]

Dressrosa.

High up in the Royal Palace, Doflamingo sat in a chair, his face hidden in shadow behind sunglasses.

He looked up at the Sky Screen and tapped his finger twice on the armrest.

"Fufu."

"Are you still chasing after me?"
