Saul, Nico Robin, Spandine, Professor Clover, Gorousei, Nico Olvia, World Government, Roji ### Summary Page 0: The title page announces Chapter 395: "Ohara vs. the World Government." The cover-story caption reads: "The name of Miss Goldenweek's strategy 'Meet Baroque' Vol. 27: 'Taking over the ship using Betrayal Black.'" The image shows a Marine ship marked "Hina Marine" being taken over as part of the Baroque Works cover-story thread. This is useful bonus material, but it does not continue the Ohara flashback. Page 1: Marine warships surround Ohara while the Tree of Omniscience towers over the island. A voice from the ships asks, "Do we have an order yet?" and another answers, "Still waiting." In town, panic erupts as word spreads: "Marine warships are flooding in from the sea!!!" and "The scholars' crime is confirmed!!!" Villagers run through the streets shouting, "What's gonna happen...!!?" and "Run for the evacuation ship!!!" The island is not yet under fire, but fear has already overtaken it. Page 2: Inside the Tree of Omniscience, Government agents stare at the forbidden stone. One asks, "What... is this?" Another says, "This seems to be the so-called 'Poneglyph.'" They note that there is no damage, "even if we bomb it or do anything else to it," and one agent recoils: "What a creepy stone... and the world's dotted with these." Outside, the massive tree shakes as Saul notices the danger and rushes toward Ohara, realizing too late that the crisis has already begun: "Shit...!! Hope it ain't too late! How'd I not see dis comin'...!!?" Page 3: Saul bursts into town like a living wall, shouting, "Robin!!!" and "Get away from this island!!!" The villagers scream, "A giant!!!" and "Wooaaaah!!" while he towers over the streets. Near the gathered scholars, Spandine receives confirmation: "We've found the evidence... so we're just waiting for your order." Spandine answers, "I see. So that was it. Yes, they'll be sentenced to death." When the transponder snail relays, "No other way. It is indeed regrettable..." Clover snaps, "Stop trying to be diplomatic, Gorousei!!" Spandine cuts him off: "But you broke the law. We can't let you go." Page 4: The call reaches the highest authority of the world. One of the Gorousei recognizes Clover: "Dr. Clover of Ohara, huh...?" and says, "You're a great contributor to the world's culture. I know your name well." Clover answers, "I can't believe you've strayed from the path..." Robin stands nearby, and a scholar warns her, "Robin, get away from here! You'll be one of the criminals if you listen to my story." But Clover continues because the truth matters more than his own life. Olvia says, "The past belongs to all mankind. Nobody can stop the desire to know untold history." Clover explains that reading the Poneglyphs could revive the ancient weapon and endanger the world, but even if nobody bears ill will, someone might misuse that knowledge. Still, he insists that if mankind can understand history without fearing its consequences, it can take countermeasures. Page 5: Clover rejects the Government's simple explanation. When they say the scholars' concern is just an idealistic theory, he replies that of all facts in the world, the one they most want to know is the contents of the Poneglyphs and the reason they exist. He asks why people of the past engraved text onto hard stone "in an attempt to deliver a message to the future." If paper or books would have been destroyed, then carving history into unbreakable stones and scattering them across the world means the people who left them had enemies. Spandine asks, "What are you implying, Dr. Clover...?" Clover answers, "Meaning, it's the proof that whoever left this to us obviously had enemies!!!" Page 6: Clover builds the hypothesis step by step. If the people who left the Poneglyphs were defeated by enemies, then those enemies likely lived on into the history afterward. "Surprisingly... when the Void Century ended 800 years ago, the World Government came to existence." If the enemy of the "fallen people" is the current World Government, then the Void Century could be the very inconvenient part of history the Government wanted to conceal. From the old documents and Poneglyphs Ohara has found, Clover says they eventually realized that there once existed another country, though nothing remains of it. The documents verified "the existence of this enormous kingdom...!!!" Page 7: Clover explains that the ancient kingdom prided itself on great power, yet all information about it was erased. He concludes that when its people realized they would be defeated by the Alliance Power, later known as the World Government, they engraved all the facts onto stones and passed their ideas to the present world as Poneglyphs.
