## One Piece Chapter 392, pages 4-5: Dereshi - Chapter: 392 - Pages: 4-5 - Characters: Nico Robin, Professor Clover, Archaeologists of Ohara ### Summary Page 4: The scholars are exposed. Robin says, "But, all of you... you're studying the Poneglyph late at night in the basement!!!" The adults recoil, asking, "How'd you know of that...? What's going on?" and warning, "Don't tell me you were peeking in on that, too!!" Robin explains her own pain: they never let her into the room even when she came through the front, and she tried so hard precisely because she wanted to stand with them. Crying, she says, "That's why... I tried my hardest to become an archaeologist, so you'll let me join in your research!!!" Her ambition is not childish curiosity alone; it is her desperate attempt to belong to the only community that has ever valued her. Page 5: The room falls silent around Robin's confession. Clover tells her, "It's true... you've gained the knowledge to claim that you're an archaeologist... but... Robin, you're still a child!!!" The scholars explain the danger: they are determined to continue even if it means risking their lives, because when the research became illegal 800 years ago, countless scholars around the world lost their lives. They say, "We, of Ohara, are the only ones who can decipher the ancient writings," and "We're already involved. We cannot turn back." But Clover draws a hard line for Robin: "I swear on the Tree of Omniscience...!! If you go near that basement again, we'll prohibit you from entering the research center and the library!!! Understood!!?"
