Luffy, Nami, Roronoa Zoro, Sogeking, Sanji, Tony Tony Chopper, Aokiji, Spandine, Nico Olvia ### Summary Page 0: Cover story/title page: The name of Miss Goldenweek's strategy, "Meet Baroque," continues with Vol. 30, "The Strongest Suspects." In a prison setting, former Baroque Works members sit and stand in striped inmate uniforms under suspicion, the scene framing them as dangerous figures even outside the main story. Page 1: After the Buster Call, Ohara is left as a burned ruin. Marines move through the silence and expect nothing living to remain. "Survivors...?" one asks, only for another to answer, "There's no way there'd be any." Then someone notices the lake. "Hey..." "Look at... this lake..." Shock spreads through them: "!?" "This..." The water is packed with books, the scholars' knowledge floating where the flames could not reach it. "The lake's filled with... books..." A Marine can only wonder, "Is it... a coincidence?" Page 2: The hunt for Robin begins almost immediately. A report races through the Marines: "Ooh!!" "This is her!!!" "This is definitely her!!" They had searched using only the clue of a suspicious girl. "Yes... using 'suspicious girl' as a clue." One report says, "We found her on a passenger boat that had departed from an island far northeast of Ohara. But we lost her again shortly after..." Another Marine insists, "It's true, I saw the brat escaping from the burning Ohara with a boat!!!" The order is blunt: "Don't deliberate on a method! If you don't capture her ASAP, what we've done here will go to waste!" Robin is no longer treated as a child. "A scholar who can decipher Poneglyphs... She's a dangerous entity, even if she's a kid." The man who saw her escape adds that when he tried to follow, "my helm suddenly froze up and wouldn't move...!!" Someone concludes, "I bet Mr. Saul left her go when he was about to die!!" To them, the surviving girl is a curse: "She has the luck of the devil himself...!!" Page 3: Robin's wanted poster spreads through the world with the name NICO ROBIN and a bounty of 79,000,000 Beri. People recoil at the number. "79 million Beri!?" "That big of a bounty for an eight year old kid!?" Rumors replace truth: "It's that... the 'survivor of Ohara's demons'..." They speak of Ohara as "The group that attempted to destroy the world...!!" and gasp, "That Ohara's...!?" One rumor claims, "I don't know how she did it, but I heard she sunk six warships!" Another says, "No wonder it's such a price...!!" The Government and Marine Headquarters are said to be directly pursuing her. The world repeats the lie that she inherited the executed scholars' will and must not be allowed to roam free. The verdict placed on a child is merciless: "She's a child of a demon that shouldn't be alive!!!" Page 4: Robin survives by working where she can, quietly thanking an older woman who has taken her in. "Thank you," Robin says, "For helping me all the time..." The woman answers, "No, thank you for letting me work." But kindness gives way to fear and greed. Before dinner, the woman tells her, "By the way... before today's meal, you have some guests." Men burst in shouting, "Don't let her get away!!! She's only a child!!!" The woman demands payment: "I notified you!!!" "Now, give me my money!!" Even as she betrays Robin, she admits, "She works very hard, even though she's young..." In memory, that same woman once told Robin, "What, you're still awake? You have to wake up early tomorrow to buy some things, so go to sleep." Robin answered, "Okay." Yet the woman had already decided, "She's a good girl... But if she stays with us, we'll be in danger, too..." Page 5: The betrayers stare at Robin's bounty and realize too late that she has fled. "And... look at this bounty..." one says. "She's not in the room...!!" Another curses, "Shit...!! That brat overheard us!?" They twist their own betrayal into accusation: "Forgetting all the kindness she's received 'til now, damn it!!!" "Look for her!!!" Robin keeps moving, laughing Saul's laugh through the pain: "Dereshishishi!" On another ship she apologizes, "I'm sorry... I don't have any food." A captain says, "I know a great deal about you, Nico Robin." Robin answers carefully, "I'm on the wanted list, too..." The man offers a place as an apprentice in exchange for work and food, but the pattern repeats. When Marine Headquarters closes in, the ship erupts: "Ooh...!! Save me!!!" "It's the Marine Headquarters!!!" "Captain!!" "Where's Robin!? Hand her over!!!" "Damn it!!! It's because she's onboard!!!" "Robin!!!" "That plagued brat!!!" Page 6: Years of pursuit harden around Robin. Everywhere she goes, people whisper, "Nico Robin is in this town!?" She keeps searching and finally finds what only she can read: "I've found it... A Poneglyph." But the world answers her ex...
