## One Piece Chapter 397, pages 17-18: To Reach the Future - Chapter: 397 - Pages: 17-18 - Characters: Nico Robin, Kuzan, Jaguar D. Saul, Nico Olvia ### Summary Page 17: Kuzan asks Robin, "Do you like books?" and tells her that two scholars are fighting fiercely for her. "Be proud, Robin! Ohara is honored," Saul's words echo, while Olvia's voice tells her not to give up on the future. Saul's laugh, "Dereshishishishi," follows her as Kuzan says that if he allows her to live and someday decides he was wrong, he will be the first one to catch her. Robin, trembling, remembers the promise of nakama and thinks that somewhere out there in the sea, she may still find them. She turns away from the burning island with the message to live. Page 18: Robin forces herself to smile through tears: "Dereshi!! Dereshi!!!" Behind her, Saul remains frozen and Ohara burns. She remembers his laugh, "Dereshishishi," and his promise that she will surely meet her nakama. Then the chapter closes on the sea, where a small boat moves away from the annihilated island while the screams and flames fade behind it. Robin has survived, but survival begins as exile.
