Saul, Nico Robin, Nico Olvia, Professor Clover, Archaeologists of Ohara, Ohara villagers, Spandine, CP9, Kuzan, Sakazuki ### Summary Page 0: The title page announces Chapter 397: "To Reach the Future." The cover-story caption reads: "The name of Miss Goldenweek's strategy 'Meet Baroque' Vol. 29: 'Pretend to be caught and get into the jail.'" The image shows Baroque Works members approaching or entering a Marine detention area as part of the cover-story thread. This is useful bonus material, but it is not part of the Ohara flashback. Page 1: Saul roars as he hurls a Marine warship, and the great hull crashes down into the water near Ohara. Robin watches in shock from the burning shore. Behind her, the Tree of Omniscience burns under the Buster Call, and the sea around the island is filled with warships and smoke. The attack has become a chaos of cannon fire, screams, and desperate movement. Page 2: The Marines realize who is attacking them. They shout, "It's Vice Admiral Saul!!!" and "Vice Admiral Saul, who escaped with Olvia, is attacking us!!!" One panicked Marine asks, "Why the hell is he here!!?" Saul, battered but still moving, declares, "I have no idea, sir!!! This island isn't gonna make it!!! Everything will be burned!!!" Around the Tree of Omniscience, scholars carry books from the flames and shout, "We must pass on the history!!!" and "Protect the books!!!" They know Ohara will burn, but they refuse to let its knowledge vanish without a fight. Page 3: Robin cries, "Saul!! Please, stop, or you'll die!!!" while Saul keeps fighting. Inside the library, scholars throw books through the windows and shout, "Throw them out the windows, into the lake!!!" and "That's better than having everything burned to ashes!!!" Others call, "Hurry!!!" "Dump the documents outside!!!" "As many books as we can!!!" and "Protect as many sentences as we can!!!" Olvia and Clover carry armfuls of texts, hoping that several thousand years' worth of ancient writings will somehow find a way "to reach the future." Page 4: Saul shouts across the destruction, "Robin!!! Run to da evacuation ship while ya can!!!" Robin, crying, hears him warn, "If ya stay on dis island!!! Ya ain't gonna survive." The Tree of Omniscience burns behind her, the ships fire from the sea, and explosions tear apart the ground. Robin stumbles through the smoke, breathing "Haa" as shells crash around her. Every path is dangerous, but Saul keeps pushing her toward the only possible escape. Page 5: Robin turns back toward the burning island and cries, "Moooom!!!" Olvia's last wish answers through the smoke: "Live, Robin!!!" The Marines shout, "Aim for Saul!!!" while others call, "Wait!! Somebody's coming!!!" and the evacuation ship announces, "Evacuation ship will be departing now!!!" Robin is torn between her mother, Saul, and the ship that might save her. She runs through falling debris, still calling for the people she cannot bear to leave. Page 6: The people on the evacuation ship see Robin and turn against her. One shouts, "A monster!!!" Another recognizes her from the newspaper: "No, wait, I recognize her!!! I read about her in the newspaper! Isn't she the daughter of Olvia, the criminal!?" Others yell, "The monster girl's still on the island!!!" "Oh yeah, go away, monster!!!" and "Hey!! Don't be a fool!!" Fear spreads through the crowd: "If we let her on the ship, we'll be killed, too!!" When someone says she is just a child, another answers, "Don't be silly!! She's just a child!!! Let her on!!" but the mob panics anyway, screaming "Monster, monster~!!" Robin, hearing all of it, says only, "It's ok, I can climb up on my own." Page 7: Spandine spots Robin and turns the evacuation ship against her. He shouts, "I've found her!!! Evacuation ship!!! Don't let that brat board the ship!!! Even if she's just a little girl, she's still an archaeologist!! She's also a target of this attack!!!" The ship's crew asks, "... Is... is that true!?" and Spandine answers that if they allow her onboard, they will be in danger. Robin slips and hangs from the side of the ship, while Saul notices her and cries, "Robin!?" He sees CP9 stirring the panic and snaps, "What nonsense...!!" Page 8: The Marines report, "Vice Admiral Saul is coming this way!!!" and open fire: "Shoot!!! Shoot!!! Fire!!!" Saul charges through the bombardment toward Robin, but Kuzan steps in. Saul attacks with "Partisan!!!" while Kuzan answers with "Ice Block." Ice forms around Saul as Robin cries, "Saul!!!" and the Marines shout, "Kuzan!!!" and "Kuzan-san!!!" The battle between two Marine vice admirals has begun in the middle of Ohara's destruction. Page 9: Kuzan faces Saul with a grim calm. "My, my, my... If an ex-Marine gets in the way of Buster Call, it wouldn't be good for us, would it...?" he says. Saul, looking at the burning island, asks, "Kuzan...!! Can you...
