Sadly, you had no idea how hard things were for us back then.
In those years, we had nothing but a vague goal.
But Fleet Admiral Sakazuki never stopped moving forward.
Not even for a moment...
- Carol's memoirs
You might not know what an impact your brief appearance had on my life.
Nor could you imagine just how much that brief appearance meant to me.
I don't blame you...
Because...
I never imagined it either.

May I call you Father, Mr. Rolka...?
- Nico Robin, at peace at last
Of course...
- Carol (Rolka)
I can't find it-my hometown-anymore...
- Vice Admiral Hilber (killed in action)
Forgive me for setting out on this journey before you were born. I'm sorry I won't be there to watch you grow up, but your dad hopes you can live in a world without pirates, where you can laugh freely out on the sea.
That is also why I brought you into this world.
- Vice Admiral Hilber (killed in action)
I'll kill every last pirate in this world!!!
- Seven-year-old Hubert, swearing through his tears amid the ruins of Town
When I was seven...
Fleet Admiral Sakazuki saved me...
Standing in the ruins of my village, I swore to kill every last pirate in the world...
In the blink of an eye...
Thirty-three years have passed...
That oath I swore back then is about to come true...
And now you want me to go back...
I can't do it...
- Vice Admiral Hubert, who pulled the longsword out of his own body and refused to return to the rear to recover
Thank you for your sacrifice in the cause of justice...
