Robin!
You can go ahead and say you wanna die or whatever,
but say those things... by our side!
Just leave the rest to us!
They've come all this way after crossing Aqua Laguna.
When you think about it, it's incredible.
Seems like they've at least got good luck.
This time, we have permission to kill them.
It's easy when we don't have to worry about going easy on them.
Drawbridge?
Yeah. The Franky Family is currently fighting to bring it down.
Once it comes down, we can go over to the other side at once.
Geez... When it's right in front of us...
You idiot...
Seriously, just how terrible is the burden this woman is bearing?
Hey, CP9! Listen!
I give you permission to kill them, but take them on here at the Tower of Law!
The most important things of all are my life and promotion.
If I let them do as they want, who'll protect me when something happens?!
You stupid pirates!
Get it in your heads that putting on a brave front doesn't change anything!
You're up against the power of the assassin group CP9
and the weight of the Gates of Justice that can't be opened by human strength.
And above all things, right now...
...I have the authority to exercise Buster Call
by using this golden transponder snail!
Buster Call...!
That's right.
It's the power that wiped out your hometown
exactly twenty years ago, Nico Robin.
I remember that the following year, the name "Ohara" had been wiped off of the map.
Robin's hometown?
That damn masked jerk!
There's no place for me to go or go back to.
Don't!
Not that!
I like that reaction. It gives me a chill.
What? Does it mean that you want me to press this button
to activate Buster Call? Hm? Does it?
Do you really understand what'll happen when you press it?
I do. It'll eliminate the possibility of the pirates escaping from this island!
Just with this single button.
It's that simple.
It won't be that simple!
Are you remembering something?
If you like, shall I try pressing it?
Right here, right now?
What're you doing?! Stop it!
You sure talk cocky, don't you?
You said that "Ohara" had been wiped off the map.
Can you see humans on a map?!
Because you guys see the world that way...
...you can do such a cruel thing!
Buster Calls are a heartless power that even makes you lose sight of your goal.
You mustn't use it. Not that.
Never...! Not that!
"20 years ago - 'West Blue' Ohara"
Get running, get running, holding our flag high in the sky
Let's cross this endless sea to go in search of

we will be able to make it through
Always!
Get running, get running, holding our flag high in the sky
Even though there are tears we don't want anyone to see
Chase it, chase it, if we want to achieve our dream,
we should always look straight ahead without fear
We can't stop here
Around the world
Start me up!
Get running, get running, head past everyone else
So long as we don't run from it, we can grasp tomorrow in our hands
Chase it, chase it, everything we see before us,
let's carve it into the blank pages of our hearts
Brand New World
Start me up!
"Robin's Past! The Girl Who Was Called a Devil!"
Hey, Robin's there!
Get her!
Ow!
All right!
Hey, monster!
You're creepy!
Monster! Monster! Monster! Monster!
Ahh! The monster hit me!
She's creepy!
We'll get you for this!
Hey, you!
My children came home crying, saying that you hit them for no reason.
Stay away from my children.
Pfft!
Why don't you say something?!
Geez... You really are a creepy child.
Hey, wait!
I'm not done with you yet!
Mommy, Mommy, what're we having for dinner tonight?
What'd you like to eat?
Um... Um...
Rice omelet!
You sure like rice omelets, don't you?
--Yep! --We have to buy lots of eggs, then.
All right!
I'm back. I'm sorry I'm late.
Aunt Roji?
"To Robin. Today is..."
...our daughter's birthday.
So we decided that the three of us would go out for dinner as a family.
There's some bread, so just have that for dinner.
Don't use too much jam.
After dinner, before we get home, do the dishes, clean the house,
and take the laundry in, then go upstairs early.
Mommy, Mommy, what're we having for dinner tonight?
What'd you like to eat?
Um... Um...
Rice omelet!
You sure like rice omelets, don't you?
--Yep! --We have to buy lots of eggs, then.
All right!
Oh! There she is! Robin's here!
Looks like she came to return a book.
Everyone, to your positions.
Good evening, Professor Clover! I came to return the book I borrowed.
One, two...!
Congratulations, Robin!
--You're amazing, Robin! --Just as we'd expect from a genius!
We've got a cake for you!
Robin, the exam for the doctoral degree you took the other day...
You quite amazingly got 100% on it!
Hence, from today on, we acknowledge you as an archaeologist.
Now you're one of us and we'll do research together.
Here, this proves that you're a scholar. Take this, Robin.
I'm happy for you, Robin.
Congratulations!
Listen, Robin. You must understand well what it means to be an archaeologist.
Yes, Professor Clover!
Knowledge comes from the past.
This Tree of Knowledge is 5,000 years old.
A massive amount of literature has been brought to this tree
from all over the world over a very, very long period of time.
It's an irreplaceable treasure for all humanity.
This is the biggest and oldest library in the world whose pride is its knowledge.
And superior archaeologists from all over the world
gathered under this Tree of Knowledge.
When using these books,
there's no historical mystery that we can't solve.
Got that, Robin?
Yes!
I'd like to see you contribute to the world by researching various cultures.
Professor! I'd like to solve the mystery of "Blank History"!
Wha... No! You shouldn't! I forbid you to do it, just as I always have.
What? Why? If we research the Poneglyphs,
we'll know what happened during the "Blank Century," right?
Why do you know that much?
Did you peek into the basement using your powers?!
But...
You should know that trying to decipher the Poneglyphs is a criminal act!
What...?
But... you guys have been researching the Poneglyphs
in the basement late at night!
Robin! How come you know that?!
Explain yourself! Are you saying that you've been spying on that, too?
Answer me, Robin!
That's because...
...you wouldn't let me in the room even if I openly came and asked!
I thought... you'd let me be part of your research if I became an archaeologist.
So I studied very hard!
Robin...
It's true that you've acquired enough knowledge to be called a scholar.
But you're still a child.
If they find out what we're doing, our heads will roll.
We're doing it fully aware of the risk.
Ever since it became law 800 years ago,
there actually have been numerous scholars who lost their lives.
This is a good opportunity, so let me tell you this.
We of Ohara are the only ones in history
who managed to decipher the ancient texts.
We cannot go back.
Swear to the Tree of Knowledge!
If you try to approach the basement again,
I'll forbid you from entering the research lab and the library! Got that?
Robin!
She's following in her mother's footsteps in every way.
She still doesn't know about the incident from the other day.
Robin's mother, Olvia, has been captured.
You can tell what fate awaits her.
"The following day"
Grrr!
W... Wa...
Worms?
That hit the spot!
I somehow survived...
I wonder if she's okay, too.
I'm saved for now. Thank you.
Is there a town or something on this land?
Yeah.
I see.
If I was going to drift to somewhere, I would've liked an uninhabited island.
You can stay there if you want, but nothing's gonna happen.
My leg got injured, so I'll stay put here.
I'm planning to make a raft or something and leave here eventually.
This your first time seeing a giant?
Yep.
I'm telling you, don't lump me in with those guys from Elbaf.
There are peaceful giant tribes, too.
I see...
I know it's a long shot, but I'll ask you anyway.
When you get home, I don't want you to tell anyone about me.
Okay.
That was too easy. She'll definitely tell.
I won't tell.
That's a lie! There's no way that a child can keep a secret.
I won't tell because I'm not interested in you.
"Dereshi"?
What does that mean?
What does it mean? I'm just laughing.
You're laughing?
You're a funny girl.
That's a weird way of laughing.
I've always been told that I'm not good at laughing.
You're cute when you laugh.
--What? --You should laugh more.
My name is Saul. Jaguar D. Saul.
"D"?
Yeah. I don't know why, but everyone in my family has it in their names.
What's your name?
Robin.
I see. To tell you the truth, Robin, I'm being pursued right now.
So if people find me, I'll be in trouble.
I said I wouldn't tell!
"Three days after the giant drifted ashore"
This is yummy!
Here's another one.
I appreciate the thought, but you go ahead and eat it.
I'm not hungry, since I caught some fish and ate them during the night.
Okay.
Well, it'll be completed soon. I'll keep working on building a raft.
In any case, you sure have lots of time on your hands, huh?
You've been with me all day long for the past several days.
Your friends and parents will get suspicious.
I don't have parents.
Well, I do have a mother,
but she set sail for work when I was small and hasn't come back.
So I don't even remember her face.
I like those archaeologists, but they don't let me be part of the research,
so I'm being left out.
Kids in town say that I'm creepy, so I won't play with them.
Oh, so you're a Devil Fruit power holder, huh?
You aren't scared?
I used to travel in the Grand Line,
so I saw many dreadful Devil Fruit power holders.
I see... I envy you.
That looks convenient!
You really do laugh in a weird way.
Weird or not...
...you know...
...if you laugh, it'll make you happy.
Why?
"Why?" When you're having fun, you laugh.
Which means if you laugh, it'll become fun.
Although you're only a child, you seem to be having a hard time.
So laugh. When you're having a hard time, just laugh.
It seems stupid to laugh when you're having a hard time.
That's not true.
Now, you try, too.
Dereshi.
That's right! Do it like this!
That's good! That's good!
This is Navy Headquarters.
Chief Spandine, please come in.
They want to talk to you, Chief.
Just ignore it. I'm sure they just want a status report.
We'll contact them when we see the shore.
I don't care whether it's Ohara or Opera--
why do I have to come all the way to the West Blue?
Seriously...
What a worthless mission...
"The following day, four days after the giant drifted ashore"
We fight harder against the wall that confronts us
We charge ahead stronger with overflowing power

If we want to achieve glory,
now is the time--don't be afraid

We don't fear, and we don't waver
No matter what happens, in the end we'll surely...
We fight harder against the wall that confronts us

We won't fear even if we have to give up everything
Charge ahead
Let's start running towards tomorrow
Because it's all to ensure we smile in the end
So you don't even remember your mom's face?
No, but I wanna see her.
Is your mom also an archaeologist?
Yep. She's traveling in search of the history no one knows about.
Wh-What's your mom's name?!
On the next episode of One Piece!
"Fated Mother and Daughter! The Mother's Name Is Olvia!"
I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!!
