The Ohara demons are probably those guys.
A group of crazy Devil Fruit users that can't understand why the goverment won't allow them to research the true history.<_<
y'know, I can actually something along this lines happening…

I thank you on this Thanksgiving Day, those who brought me this chapter!XD
Ah, Robin-chwan ;_;
ROBIN-CHWAN!!!
How did Pauli get injured again? Also finnally we are able to find out why Robin wants to find the true history and what got her started on it.
Thanks for the translation, ooshi. ^_^
The library tree is called "The Tree of Knowlege". That's awesome. XD Great symbolic tie in, there.
Thanks for the translation ooshi. Now my day is complete. Here´s hoping for a flashback that will be somewhere between Tom and Norland in terms of chapter lenght. :steve:
thanks for the translation!!!
that made my day~~
Assuming that Vol. 40 ends with chapter 386 (In order for the Overview to fit in),This chapter will be the 5th into vol. 41, meaning Oda has 4-6 chapters before the volume ends. To me this seems like an ideal lenght; Oda has been building up for this for so long, he damn well better take the time it deserves. And I know I sure as hell wouldn't mind a "multiple years" spanning flashback.
Sauro and Crober huh??
We have names people :)
You just know that Robin is going to get it from Uncle Rog. It won 't matter that she got a perfect score on an archeoligist exam. She's going to be in trouble for going out late.
Her only friends are the people at the library it seems. But we would be disappointed if she doesn't have a sad past, right?
Sauro and Crober huh??

Well of course I would need confirmation of people who can read japanese, but could Sauro also be interpreted as Sorrow? It wouldn´t be that much of an unusual name, seeing it that there´s anime characters called "Vicious".
Oh yeah, I think it´s Clover. Just like it´s Chopper instead of Choppa. CR could be his innitial meaning that the R stands for something else. Or if both c and r are both elements from Clover then they could actually stand for the first and last letters in his name.
And I can´t say it often enough. I know I will love this guys. I knew it the first time I saw him. More please! :steve:
Thanks for the translation.
Robin said Buster call makes everyone forget their goals…..What does that mean? Sure Luffy would like to have a go with the Buster call and test his credibility. Any Idea?

That's right. The dude's hair and his beard form a three-leaf clover. The hair on his head is the "stalk".

I was thinking as soon as I saw that tree whether it bears fruit. If you catch Mi meaning.
Everybody else seems to be, but I'm not really excited for this flashback, with the exception of seeing how Oda does the Roger/Poneglyph tie-in, and maybe an Aokiji cameo.

Well, that would be interesting…if DF powers actually came from this island or something, and there was research of it there. But just the fact that they're studying things that they aren't supposed to regarding the history of the world and the knowlege of deadly weapons and all other kinds of things that can be used for good or evil is interesting enough.
I sense seeing one of the five old stars somewhere in this flashback, or maybe even an admiral or better, as fisher price say…"oh, the possibilities!". I wonder.
I can see why Oda had Robin act all bitchy, he always wanted to set up a cilmax to start a flashback. I can now excuse Robin's behavior in past few chapters thanks to this flashback.
Maybe the flashback would be longer then Calgara/Norland flashback and Franky flashback combine. 391-400 anyone?

I think that´s easy to understand. The purpose of a Government is to protect its citizens against bad influences. Military and Police are the organs to do so. But if these organs use extreme measures like weapons of mass destruction (which the Buster Call seems to be) they stop being a protective organ but a devastating organ.
Just compare it to real world. The sole existence of Weapons of Mass Destruction is a contradiction against everything the governments they posses them stand for. WMD´s don´t only kill the bad man but also the innocent and the good man. And even if there would be cities where only criminals live then dealing with them by nuking them is also against the morals that governments stand for. Instead of protecting the innocent from the criminals everyone gets wiped out in a brutal, unfair and inhuman matter. That´s where the action contradicts the motives. And that´s what I think Robin meant for the OP world.
Yay! I just loved this chapter.
FF & giants holding marines back, SH can fight CP9 without being disturbed. Well, everyone waited for the big fight, but this is what came. Can you even think of better timing to show Robins flashback? I can't. It's true that we can't yet think even how horrible buster call might be, but I honestly believe spandam won't push that button. If that happens, strawhats will just escape, with Robin and maybe Franky with them?
And what can I say about Robin flashback? I love it and I think that this will be the best flashback so far. Little girl with devil's fruit being bullied is something we knew already, but the real questions are; who are the "Ohara Demons"? What's going to happen on that peaceful island when WG has to use Buster call, since it seems to be pretty powerful thing to do. I can only imagine the usage of that 'thing' when situation is going out of control totally.
What I quickly read, people are saying that little-Robin's cute and they already love this flashback, but I say that the best part is still coming! Nothing's been really revealed yet. Too bad that we can't get new chapter next week, cause everyone will be surely waiting for it. :|

I sure hope not, what I like about One Piece is most plot point don't have to be connected to the main story. If Dragon comes from here or if Roger had visited the island, I'll be disappointed.
Oh and why does every main character has to have a negetive flashback? Would it be nice if any crewmembers have a smooth and happy past?
@joekido:

Probably because Oda want´s to deliver the message that even if you face the biggest and most traumatic hardships, there still will be moments in life that are worth to continue living.
Also, you seem a bit surprised here. Did you really expect that a person like Robin would have a happy past? :huh:
where do I download it?
Thank you very much for giving us your holiday time, ooshi78
You're the best :)
just to point out something i thought was interesting:
franky the PSYCHOLOGIST! XD
i don't know if you guys noticed this as well, but since the departure from water7, everytime oda wants to give an insight / psychoanalysis on someone, he always uses franky. cool, now we not only have a potential shipwright, but we also have a psychologist on board. haha

I'm sure all of the SHs got some happy flashback but what's the point of showing them?

I'm sorry to say Ivotas but that is a stupid qustion, do you think I never knew anything about Robin? I know she has a trumaic past and I don't expect this to be a "happy past". My point is almost everyone has a tragic moments in their past which is cliche. I can understand why Robin has a sad past. Nami has it, Franky has it, Sanji has it, Usopp has it, Chopper has it, Luffy has it, Zoro has it.
Would it be nice if one character never had a tragic and sad past and we know his/her parents? That's my point.

hylian_pirate hits the spot .
@hylian:

In my opinion, Luffy's and Usopp's past's aren't that tragic. Most of the strawhats lost a friend suddenly. Luffy's friend just lost an arm. and Usopp had friends throughout his childhood. As for Sanji, he didn't really loose anyone, he just went through a rough period of time.
To me, Chopper, Nami and it appears to be Robin are the three that had "hard-to-match-trauma" in their lives. (I'm not taking away from other's suffering, I'm just doing a comparison.)
For a note, we don't know Luffy's past, so we cannot determine if his was tragic or not. A common thread that binds the Strawhats is a loss of someone important; for Sanji, all the chefs onboard his original ship drowned during the storm Zeff appeared in. Likewise, Usopp lost his mother, Nami lost her stepmother (violently), Zoro lost his best friend, Franky lost his mentor, Chopper lost his father, and presumably, Robin lost her entire clan.
Also, Luffy is the only character thus far to not have a flashback. One Piece began when Luffy was seven and had a timeskip to the present day; we really know absolutely nothing else about Luffy or his family, and unlike other characters (Zoro, Sanji), Oda has pointed this out as important.
anyone here feels that Luffy will in the end ask Spandam to put a sock in it and call for the Buster Call? I keep getting a feeling he will undoubtly ask Spandam to push the button and tells Robin something like:
Luffy: Panda!!!…Just shut up and push it! I will annihilate this Bus...watever call in front of you
The rest of SH: Luffy...!!!!
Spandam: You what!!?
Luffy: Bring it on...!!!
Spandam: ...!!!
Robin: ...!!! No...!!!
Luffy: Trust us...leave the rest to us!!!
Robin: !!!
Franky: Hahaha!!!
Meh, don't flame me, but I'm disappointed. I was expecting the start of an awesome batlte this week, so I logged on my grandpa's computer to check. I see it, awesome, so I grab it. I waited 10 minutes to get it with his crap AOL connection, and I find out it's ROBIN'S LAME PAST ON GULAGULA ISLAND.
I just don't really like/care too much about Robin. I mean, I'm glad we're FINALLY getting her history, and I'm sure it'll be awesome (I love the old man already), but right now I don't really care. Then again, I can see why this is a huge deal to many people. But, we'll see hwo this develops. I admit I'm a bit interested already.
Man, it sucks starting to like characters when you know they're about to get horrible slaughtered, you know?
Thx for the chapter and translation.
Great Colorspread !!!! Nami chasing Chopper like when Luffy chased chopper in the Drum castle. Robin getting massaged by a Walrus:laugh: . Luffy copying a Polar Bear. Penguin wearing Zoro's haramaki. Sanji actually got an assistant penguin to cut food for him(the penguin has his cigars ) Usopp looks GREAT with the hat.
What happens to the marines who received Oimo Press,cant help but pity them.
Robin's Flashback was quite expected, but she's soooo cute and smart(MUCH smarter than me)
Nice Dr. Clover with Clover HAirstyle , is it me or does that type of hairstyle seem popular with Doctor's in OP,wonder if there'll be another doctor like Hirluk and Clover…
Oh yeah, I liked the spread too. I just wish they had ice cream sandwiches…
DAMN YOU OOSHI!!! just when i was done translating the first page you already put up yours ARGHHHHHHHH!!! there's always next week. And thanks for the translation lol

I have to agree, what better way to celebrate 400 chapters than with the start of one of the most anticipated fights ever, I really don't mind i've been waiting for robin's past (HA, i avoided saying flashback… wait a second, damn) so 9 chapter of Great Story telling to usher in a fight scene would be excellent in my book, maybe even sexcellent
wow. thank you people if I was gay I would kiss you but I'm not. I can't wait for n-u-l-l to translate it.
finaly … robin flash back ... and ...
poor robin, she has a bad memory as a df user when she was a kid ...
What a stupid girl. She could learn to use her DF power to clean the floors and dishes.
…..NOT a bash. Just kidding
I think she did wash the dishes with her power. I kinda wondered why she didn't do the same with the floor. I guess she must've been tired. Poor Cinderella/Naruto/Harry Potter like Robin.
Thanks a lot for the translation. Her guardians should've left her a better meal.
Meh, I changed my mind a little. It's kinda cool to see Robin as a kid, and Professor Clover's awesome. I just hope it doesn't get stretched out too long, though.
yeah. I think Chopper's was kind of to long and I hope this one isn't that long.
I guess Robin can relate better to Chopper because they have a somewhat similar background. Labeled monster by society…
Of course, she never told him anything about it, but maybe deep down she knows they're the same.
HOLY DAMN.
I can't believe I didn't catch onto this sooner. I bet someone has beaten me to this but it just occured to me.
I was wondering how the hell these nice looking people could have been of ANY threat to the government, then I remembered that since a lot of them are archaeologists, they might be stumbling into some taboo territory (weapons?). Then I looked at the tree library, and remembered it was called the "Tree of Knowledge.."
Another Biblical refernce!
yup, i guess that they were studying poneglyphs and now, robin wants to know why her homeland was annihilated by finding out the true history and what her friends and ancestors found out from the tree of knowledge…
It's definitely Clover. Have you seen his hair?
made minor changes to translation.
@omae:

yes i have seen his hair… don't you know how badly japanese people spell??? you should also look at the translators note i put at the bottom of my translation.
