## One Piece Chapter 395, pages 5-6: Ohara vs. the World Government - Chapter: 395 - Pages: 5-6 - Characters: Professor Clover, Spandine, Gorousei, Archaeologists of Ohara, World Government ### Summary 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...!!!"
