I got so excited that i forgot about that:laugh

sorry peK:P

[Shishou]

So this is the end, eh?! Fights next chapter.... zomg!


TRANSLATION NOW PLZ!efodfjhfv rovhjkv one

[shazbero]

Indeed I have been holding my breath since Robin Flashbacks started. The Cp9 fight should be excellent two mysterious devil fruit powers, Luffy's second gear, all to nice

[raziu]

It's cool we got to see a glimpse of Akainu...but we still don't know what his abilities are;/

And this chapter is such a tear jerker...

[Raptor]

It seems like Saulo isn't related to Luffy after all. And did they blew the civil ship as well??

[raziu]

Yep...it seems they wanted to double check that none of the scholars makes it alive...and I think Akainu gave the order to destroy the ship

-- Title page --
Miss GoldenWeek's "Operation: Meets Baroque" vol. 29: "Infiltrating the Detention Center by Pretending to be Captured"

-- p. 2 --

Saul: OOOOO [howling in pain/rage]

-- p. 3 --

[the next part appears to be confused chatter over DenDenMushi, but I'm not all that sure]
Naval voices: What's going on?!!!
It's Vice-Admiral Saul!!!
Vice-Admiral Saul, who deserted along with Olvia, is attacking us!!!
Why the hell is he here?!!
We don't know!!!

Scholar: This island's had it!!!
Everything's going up in flames!!!

Other Scholar: Save the books!!!
We have to pass on this history!!!

-- p. 4 --

Scholar: Drop them from the window into the lake!!!
It's better than losing them by burning!!!
Hurry!!!

Robin: Sauro--!!! Stop it, already! You'll die!!!

Scholars: Get the books out of the library!!!
Save as many books as you can!
Save as many articles as you can!
So that the words of thousands of years of our predecessors...!!!
{ Will reach the future...}

-- p. 5 --
Saul: Robin!!!
You gotta get onto the rescue ship 'n' escape, right now!!!

Robin: ...!!

Saul: If you stay on this island,
You'll be done for!!!!

Robin: AAH!!!
...!!
haa... haa...

-- p. 6 --

Robin: MOMMY--!!!

Naval guy: Fire on Saul!!!

Saul: Robin!!!
What was yer ma's wish?!!!

Olvia: { Stay alive, Robin!!! }

People on ship: Get the rescue vessel underway!!!

Robin: ...!!
haa... haa...

People on ship: Wait!! Someone's arrived!!!

-- p. 7 --
Townspeople: It's the demon!!!
That demon girl's still on the island!!!

Brat: That's right! Get outta here, demon!!!

Adult: Hey! Don't say such stupid things!!

Glasses guy: Whoa, wait, I know her!!! That girl belongs to Olvia, who was all over the papers...
She's the criminal's daughter, isn't she?!!

Bug-eyed guy: If we let her on the ship, maybe we'll get lit into, too!!

Panicking guy: EH?!!

Scarface: Don't say that, moron!! She's just a kid!!! Hurry and pull her up!!

Navy guy: Get a rope down--
!!?

Townspeople: ...?!!

Robin: It's all right! I can climb up by myself!!

Random person/people: UWAAAAA!!! SHE'S A MONSTER!!!

Woman: KYAAAAA!!!

Man: DEMON!! DEMOOOON!!!

Robin: !!!

-- p. 8 --

Spandine: Oh!!!
I've found her--!!!
[over loudspeaker] Rescue vessel!!! Do not let that brat onboard!!!
She may be a runt, but she's an archaeologist!! She's marked as a target of our assault!!!

Other CP9 (?) / Navy: Director Spandine!!

Townspeople: ...Is-...!! Is that true?!!
...Look!!! If we let her on, we'll be in danger!!

Robin: [sobbing]...!!

Saul: Robin?!
CP9...
How could you say such a despicable thing...?!!
!

-- p. 9 --

Naval grunt: Director!!!
Vice-Admiral Saul is headed this way!!!

Spandine: Whoa!! So Vice-Admiral Saul was really on this island!!
And we didn't even need to inquire of Olvia!!
Fire!!! Fire!!! Attack!!!

Kuzan: ICE BLOCK...
PARTISAN (Guerrilla)!!!

Saul: ?!!

Robin: SAUL!!!

Spandine: Kuzan, sir!!!

Saul: ...! Kuzan!!!

-- p. 10 --

Kuzan: Oh my, oh my... to think that a Buster Call would be interrupted by a former Naval officer...
Quite an abrupt shift, isn't it...?

Saul: ...!!
Kuzan...!! How can you take pride in an attack like this?!!

Kuzan: ...

People (navy?): Retreat!!

Saul: Strange, ain't it?...!!!
I reckon you know it, too!!! This is being made into an "example"...!!!
That's why Ohara's being wiped out!!!

Kuzan: If it is for the sake of the world from this point forward, then I have no choice.
Actually, it isn't that the scholars broke the law...!!

-- p. 11 --

Kuzan: Things such as justice change their shape depending on the situation.
Therefore, I am not making an indictment of your "justice"...
Only, if you get in our way,
We will not let you be...!!!
!!?

Saul: Uwaa!!! The rescue ship blew up!!

Robin: W...w!! Why?!!!

Kuzan: An attack!!!
From a battleship...!!
From Vice-Admiral Sakazuki's ship!!!
...!! That damnable fool...!!

-- p. 12 --

Sakazuki: When you eliminate them, do so thoroughly...!!
Should there be even one scholar lurking aboard that ship...
then all these sacrifices will mean nothing...!!
"Evil" exists, so you must eradicate it!!!

Narration Box:
Naval Headquarters Vice-Admiral
SAKAZUKI
(Future Admiral "Akainu")

Robin: ...!!

Saul: Is this something that Justice would do?...!!
CAN YOU STICK OUT YOUR CHEST, EVEN NOW?!!!

Kuzan: I have no intention of crossing the line as that fool did!!!

Saul: We're gettin' outta here, Robin!!!
His strength ain't normal!!!

Robin: !!

-- p. 13 --

Navy types: Saul fled!!!
He's got one of the scholars with him..!!!

Kuzan: ICE TIME CAPSULE!!!

Saul: ...!!!
OOF!!!

Robin: Saul!!!

Saul: Guh...haa...
Robin... You gotta get away...

Robin: !?

-- p. 14 --

Saul: You gotta run, 's fast as you can!!!
haa...
If you stay on the island, you won't live...!!! Anyway... set out to sea on my raft!!

Robin: WHAT ABOUT YOU, SAUL?!!

Saul: I can't go any farther. I'm caught!!
Now, go!!!

Robin: NO!!
There's nobody for me out in the sea!!

Saul: haa...
Listen well, Robin...
haa...
Right now, you're alone, but...!!
Some day, I'm sure...
You'll run across your "nakama"...

Robin: Nakama...?

Saul: The sea's a big place...
Someday, I'm sure of it!!!
haa
Nakama who'll protect you will appear!!!

-- p. 15 --

Saul: HAVING BEEN BORN INTO THIS WORLD, THERE IS NO SUCH THING...
AS BEING ALL ALONE!!!!
Run, Robin!!!
Don't look back!!!
In painful times... remember what I taught you!!
You gotta laugh like this:

Robin: SAUL, LOOK OUT!!

Kuzan: ICE TIME...

Saul: Dereshishishishi

Robin: SAUL!!!

Saul: Dereshishi... In the sea, somewhere... I'm sure they'll be waiting for you.
GO FIND YOUR NAKAMA, ROBIN!!!!

Robin: WAAAAAAAH!!!

-- p. 16 --

Saul: { Live...
along with them!!! }

Kuzan: ...

Scholars: It's too late...
IT'S FALLING...!!!
THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE IS FALLING...!!!

Clover: { Is this, too... the history that people chose? }
...!!
{ FOOLISH PEOPLE...!! }

Olvia: { I'm sorry, Robin...
I wasn't even able to leave behind
any words for you as your mother... }

-- p. 17 --

Robin: haa...
haa...
Ah!

Kuzan: ...
Complete justice drives people mad over time...
I have decided to allow you to leave this island...
What, I wonder, will the "seed" that Saul protected grow into?...

Robin: !?

Kuzan: It's up to you, whom to bear a grudge against, but for now, be grateful that you just have your life...
Henceforth... you should always live in anonymity.
I have made lines of ice in the sea.
If your ship simply continues straight, it will reach land.
But remember this:
I am not your ally... if you are guilty of anything...
You will be the first "enemy" I come to capture.

Robin: ...My mom's on the island...

Kuzan: No one survived...

Robin: !!

Kuzan: If it is so painful you wish to die... you are free to do that, as well.

-- p. 18 --

Clover: { This is the world's greatest library.
Do you like books? }

Scholars: { Today is your birthday, Robin~~!!
Congratulations, Robin!!!
Congrats!!
There's cake! Cake!! }

Saul: { Be proud, Robin!!!
Ohara's a fine island!!! }

Olvia: { We can't just give up...
the future you'll live in!!! }

Saul: {You should laugh!! Laugh when it hurts!
It hurts, but if you laugh it'll seem silly...
Not like that!
Dereshishishishishi...}

Robin: ...dereshi...

-- p. 19 --

Robin: Dereshi!!
Dereshi!!!
dereshi... *koff*...
[whimper]
...dereshishishi...!!
...!!!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!

Saul: { In the sea, somewhere... I'm sure they'll be waiting for you.
GO FIND YOUR NAKAMA, ROBIN!!!! }

[Robin continues to wail.]

-- END CHAPTER 397 --

[raziu]

ahh...you beat me to it Hermie ;]

[Baby Raptor]

that is hurtful to read robin flashback!!

[TenshiOni]

What a sad and yet beautiful chapter. ;___;

Oda's a god.

Can't wait for next week. :spaz

[simple_be]

omg..this wins...

great flashback...don't have more words for it

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Amazing, simply amazing. Oda is such a master.

[Code]

Well an amazing chapter, the last page was simply awesome. I wonder when we'll get to see "Kazeru the Yellow Monkey" though we barely got a glimpes of Akainu. The flashbacks only made me like Aokiji more... but more curious about the other Grand Admirals/Current Vice Admirals. But simply from what we saw, were Spandman to call a Buster Call, I doubt the Straw Hats stand a chance, considering how it seems Grand Admirals and Vice Admirals may not different that greatly in strength, and we saw how one Grand Admirals without any effort handled the entire crew at once. Anyways, I'm really looking forward to the upcoming chapters with the fights.

[Raptor]

Yeah this chapter was great. The saddest I've seen so far in One Piece too. I'm looking forward the fights. and most of all the straw hats new ship. I have the feeling that the buster call will be used anyway but it will be defeated too.

Strange too, now that i think about it, how Robin was talking about diying and the last part of the flashback tells the importance of her life, or how Saulo told her about the nakama that would protect her with their lives too.

Yeah Oda is great. :amuse

[Ah B]

Sad chapter....but good! I think the flashbacks should be through soon...:oh

[korican04]

nice chapter they showed, admiral red dog (akainu) when he was a vice admiral. Maybe they'll show admiral yellow monkey.

[Franckie]

Awesome chapter, Robin's character keeps being developed through those flashbacks.

[olaf]

Awesome but so sad. I like Aokiji more now. That buster call seems to be quite a hassle, as I can imagine that Luffy & co. will beat CP9, I doubt that they would handle buster call.

[raziu]

Buster call is impossible to handle right now for the SH imo... but i'm soo looking forward to them fighting cp9=]
