Dr. Clover

It has to be said.

As a child, Robin was innocent and adorable, and she was very likable.

Not only is their curiosity extremely strong.

And they're quite clingy.

It looked cute but clueless, and kept clinging to Lin Yan, sticking to him and telling him stories.

In the end, Nico Olvia couldn't stand it anymore and reluctantly pulled Robin away.

"I'm sorry, Robin probably just hasn't seen anyone in a long time, so..."

After finally coaxing Robin back to her room, Nico Olvia gave Lin Yan an apologetic look.

Lin Yan shook her head, seemingly unconcerned.

I don't know if it was a special kind of fate or some other reason.

He's been dealing with quite a few kids lately.

Of course, Lin Yan had no objection to this.

The vast ocean before us is actually far more brutal than it appears.

Here, the strong become stronger and the weak become weaker, resulting in countless people suffering tragic fates, including the future Robin.

What awaited this young girl was a fate filled with thorns and hardship.

The original Kuina and Boa Hancock were the same.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Lin Yan was exceptionally tolerant of them, which could be seen as making up for some of the regrets in her heart.

Looking at Nico Olvia, who was giving him an apologetic look, he saw her.

Lin Yan pondered for a moment.

Suddenly, out of the blue, he spoke.

"What are your plans after this? Are you still going to leave Robin here to continue pursuing her dreams?"

Lin Yan asked softly.

In the original work, even from a flattering perspective, Nico Olvia in front of her cannot be considered a qualified mother.

Young Robin was left alone in Ohara.

As a result, Robin had a rather tragic childhood.

Ultimately, together with the scholars who had sailed with him in search of the Poneglyphs, they brought utter destruction to Ohara.

He had a brief reunion with Robin at the last moment.

Then, with the fall of Ohara, he died beneath the Tree of Knowledge.

Lin Yan was not quite aware of the importance of the so-called Poneglyphs to the scholars of Ohara.

But there is no doubt about it.

Nico Olvia owes Luo Bing far too much.

"..."

Nico Olvia was unaware that the man before her already knew her entire destiny, but she still fell into a long silence because of this question.

After a long pause, Nico Olvia sighed softly.

What do you think I should do?

"This is not a decision I should make."

Lin Yan shook her head without hesitation.

Then, under Nico Olvia's somewhat disappointed gaze, Lin Yan stood up and casually brushed away the dust that had accumulated from sitting with Robin for too long.

Then, under Nico Olvia's slightly confused gaze, Lin Yan's light, airy voice came.

"What Robin needs right now isn't the Poneglyphs, but your company."

perhaps.

A scholar who cannot complete his or her research can be called a failure.

But a person who doesn't even value their own family is worse than a piece of trash.

"..."

Nico Olvia didn't answer, but the light in her eyes slowly began to brighten. Finally, the woman nodded gently to Lin Yan.

"Thanks..."

Lin Yan nodded almost imperceptibly.

Even if it's a case of locking the barn door after the horse has bolted, it's never too late.

"Let's go, take me to see the scholars of the Tree of Knowledge. I have something I'd like to discuss with them."

Lin Yan said to Nico Olvia.

To him, Ohara was nothing more than a lost kingdom.

Lin Yan was completely unfamiliar with this place.

Having a local expert like Nico Olvia to lead the way is naturally the best option.

Lin Yan already had a guess about what made the Time Train resonate with her.

After all, when it comes to the most precious thing in Ohara, it's probably only that...

"Okay, I'll go get ready."

Nico Olvia did not refuse Lin Yan's request. She simply nodded and, after a quick tidying up, led Lin Yan toward the Tree of Knowledge.

That is the very heart of Ohara.

It is also a mecca for scholars worldwide.

Following in Nico Olvia's footsteps, Lin Yan looked around in surprise at everything.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a world-renowned capital of scholars.

The people coming and going were all scholars, casually dressed and with devout expressions; it was as if the air itself was filled with the scent of knowledge.

Lin Yan didn't quite understand.

But I was deeply shocked.

"The Tree of Knowledge is just ahead. Please wait here while I go in and announce your arrival. Generally, only important scholars are allowed to enter this area."

Seeing Lin Yan's somewhat dazed expression, Nico Olvia couldn't help but smile and said to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan nodded, naturally having no objection to this.

However, before Nico Olvia could go inside to report, a strangely dressed man walked towards them. Upon seeing Nico Olvia, he couldn't help but pause in surprise.

"Olvia, what are you doing here?"

The man looked at Nico Olvia with great confusion.

Lin Yan also looked in the direction of the sound.

This is a guy with an ordinary appearance, but a very strange hairstyle.

From a distance, it looks like a giant Clover swaying in the wind, literally a verdant canopy overhead.

What cyberpunk hairstyle...

Lin Yan was speechless.

However, he did recognize this person.

Dr. Clover is a top scholar even among scholars worldwide, and also a very important scholar in Ohara.

This was the same person who entered the basement when Lin Yan and Nico Olvia were hiding.

Good morning, Dr. Clover.

Nico Olvia greeted him somewhat guiltily.

After all, not long ago, she had secretly infiltrated the Tree of Knowledge, intending to steal research data and leave Ohara...

"Hmm, it must have been a long time."

Dr. Clover, of course, knew nothing about this.

On the contrary, I was quite pleased to see Nico Olvia.

Although Nico Olvia is very young.

But he is already one of the most outstanding scholars in the entire Ohara, and Dr. Clover greatly admires this excellent junior.

However, he immediately asked with some doubt.

"Speaking of which, Olvia, didn't you go to sea with the expedition team? What are you doing here?"

"This..."

Nico Olvia was even more embarrassed.

After all, he couldn't very well say that he sensed the danger of studying the Poneglyphs, which is why he sneaked back, could he?

Even when talking to his companions, he only told them that he had something to take care of.

It was impossible to explain clearly, so Olvia simply coughed and changed the subject.

"To be honest, I brought this person here to discuss some things with you."
