## One Piece Chapter 344, pages 8-10: Opposing Forces - Chapter: 344 - Pages: 8-10 - Characters: Nico Robin, Iceburg ### Summary Page 8: Iceburg continues talking to Robin, recalling their past: "LAST NIGHT WAS THE FIRST TIME... BUT I HAD ALWAYS... WANTED TO MEET YOU..." Robin looks at him calmly and asks, "..... HAVE WE MET BEFORE?" Iceburg responds with a confused "....?" and a soft chuckle, "HEH HEH". Suddenly, Robin's expression sharpens into shock ("!!?"). With a swift, fluid motion, she draws two flintlock pistols from beneath her cloak and points them directly at Iceburg's head, the sound of her draw echoing through the quiet room. Page 9: Robin holds her guns steady, asking coldly, "IN ORDER TO KILL ME...?" Iceburg, staring down the barrels of her weapons, replies, "THAT IS CORRECT." He continues, "BEFORE YOU... DESTROY THE WORLD...!!" Robin reacts with a silent, tense stare. Iceburg explains his reasoning: "THE WORLD GOVERNMENT HAD MADE DOING SO ILLEGAL A LONG TIME AGO... SEEKING, STUDYING, AND DECIPHERING THE TRUE HISTORY... AS YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW." He chuckles weakly, "HEH... HEH..." as he lies in bed, completely at her mercy. Page 10: Iceburg questions Robin further: "HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE TRUE HISTORY? JUST KNOWING THAT THE GLYPHS EXIST IS NOT A CRIME... BUT IN THIS WORLD, THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON WHO CAN DECIPHER IT... AND THAT IS YOU!" Robin remains silent, her eyes narrowed. Iceburg points out, "THAT IS THE REASON, SINCE YOU WERE ONLY EIGHT YEARS OLD... THERE HAS BEEN A HIGH BOUNTY ON YOUR HEAD!" A small inset shows Robin's childhood bounty poster with her name "NICO ROBIN". Iceburg concludes, "YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON IN THIS WORLD... THAT CAN RESURRECT... THE ANCIENT WEAPONS."
