## One Piece Chapter 397, pages 16-17: To Reach the Future - Chapter: 397 - Pages: 16-17 - Characters: Nico Robin, Kuzan, Jaguar D. Saul, Nico Olvia ### Summary Page 16: Robin runs alone through the ruins, coughing "Ack!" as Saul lies frozen behind her. Kuzan appears and tells her, "... Absolute justice sometimes drives a person insane." He says he has decided to let her leave the island and that the strange "seed" Saul protected must be watched to see what it becomes. Robin, terrified and furious, says, "I'm not your friend. If you do anything, I'll fight you." Kuzan answers that he is prepared to fight her, but if she wishes to die on the island, that is up to her. Robin can only scream, "No one can survive...!! My mom is on the island." 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.
