Ronya's Resolve

A young girl named Ronya walks ahead along a forest path while a group behind her shouts in alarm. "RONYA!" "WHERE ARE YOU GOINGI! YOU'RE GOING TO FALL!" "RONYA! RONYA!" "WOW! MY LEGS MADE ME VEER OFF!" Ronya continues forward, replying cheerfully, "THIS IS NO THING... ALL GOOD! NO PROBLEM! BUT IT'S FINE! DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME, YLVA! WHAT THEI! THAT'S WEIRD!" Suddenly a massive tree branch swings down from above. "!!" "RONYA!" An arrow points to the falling girl as the branch strikes with a loud impact: "TAP" "IT'S NOTH..." followed by a huge crash sound effect "ドォーン".

The scene continues with panicked calls: "YOU WILL FALL TO THE UNDERWORLD!" "COME BACK, RONYA! IT'S DANGEROUS!" "HAA... HAA... AHH... AHH..." A cloaked figure in the distance declares, "PERFECT! MAKE SURE ALL OF ELBAF HEARS HER VOICE! THE FIRST BRAT IS ABOUT TO 'FALL.' SOMMERS..." Nearby, a small horned child with a topknot reacts in shock. In a close-up, an elderly bearded man named Jarul grins widely and orders, "ORDER THE TEACHERS... JARUL OF THE BEARDED MOUNTAIN! ALRIGHT! IF IN 30 SECONDS YOU STILL HAVEN'T MADE A DECISION... I'LL DROP THE FIRST KID!" Below, outraged villagers protest: "BUT THEIR LIVES COME FIRST! DO YOU EVEN REALIZE WHAT YOU'RE SAYINGI! THIS LIBRARY HOLDS TEXTS PASSED DOWN FROM PAST GENERATIONS FOR MILLENNIA! LORD JARUL! HE'S CRAZY!! TO SET FIRE TO THE SCHOOL AND THE LIBRARY!"

The Elbaf villagers erupt in outrage: "ISN'T THERE ANYONE NEARBYI! WE MUST PUT AN END TO THIS ABSURD GAME AT ALL COSTS!!" "ARE YOU SUGGESTING WE JUST LET OUR KIDS DIEI!" "WHETHER TO SUBMIT TO THESE GUYS OR NOT!" "THE PROBLEM ISN'T THEIR DEMANDS! IT'S THE DECISION WE HAVE TO MAKE..." A dark-haired woman sweats nervously, thinking, "BUT I CAN'T CONTROL MY EMOTIONS ANYMORE!! IN THAT CASE... IT'S TOO RISKY TO FACE THEM BEFORE WE UNDERSTAND THEIR POWERS. CHOPPER, YOU STAY HERE!" A large man with a spiked club laughs, "GIHAHAHA! CUT THE SOB STORY. IT DOESN'T AFFECT ME! EVEN THE WORLD'S WORST CRIMINALS DON'T TAKE CHILDREN AS HOSTAGES! YOU'RE INSANE... YOU WANT TO KILL KIDS!" "BAS-TARD!"

Warriors shout battle plans amid swirling motion lines. "ONE WILL FIGHT THE MONSTERS, AND THE OTHER WILL SAVE THE KIDS!!" A bearded fighter with a cat-like helmet roars. "LET'S GO TOGETHER! LET'S SPLIT INTO TWO GROUPS!" Another voice answers, "OF COURSE, DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!" A woman with curly hair and a scar replies firmly, "FRANKIE, I'LL JOIN IN TOO!" Below, a striped ship sails toward a massive tree-city as fighters raise weapons. "BRING THE SHIPS!!" "LET'S QUICKLY HEAD TO THE ARBOREAL ROUTE NUMBER 8!" "TO ARMS!" The landscape opens to reveal lush forests and distant structures. Narration boxes read, "...THE SCHOOL AND THE LIBRARY..." and "ALSO, WHEN YOU BURN..." while voices echo, "HEADING TO ROUTE 8!"

A cloaked figure stands atop a spiked globe-like structure. "SIMPLY BECAUSE WHAT WE WANT TO DESTROY..." A voice declares, "NO BOOK SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT!" Note reads: "CRASPEDIA IS A FLOWER THAT SYMBOLISES UNITY." Close-up shows a dark-haired woman saying, ""CIEN FLEUR"..." An elderly man with glasses shouts, "AND YOUR HISTORY!" and "IS YOUR CULTURE..." The massive warrior lunges forward with a devastating strike. "CRAS-PEDIA"!! A huge impact erupts with debris flying. "BLORF!!" The blow lands with crushing force.

Robin stands resolute. "YES... I KNOW!" Allies call out, "BE CAREFUL, WE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THEM YET!" and "ROBIN, ARE YOU OKAY!" The giant warrior crashes down with a massive impact. "RO-BIIIIN!" "URGH!" A close-up shows the elder gasping, "NICO RO..." The warrior growls, "ARGH! I RECOGNIZE YOU. YOU'RE..." Robin counters with, ""CUATRO MANOS"..." A fish-like ally reacts with "FRESH" and "..." The giant is slammed into the ground. "BWAA AAH!" Robin yells, ""CLUTCH"!" The crushing hold tightens amid explosive motion lines.

Robin watches the chaos. "WE CAN'T BEAT THEM!" "THESE GUYS ARE IMMORTAL..." The giant is hurled backward. "YOU BROKE HIM!" A voice cheers, "WELL DONE, ROBIN!" The elder thinks, "HMMI" then yells, "DAMN! HE'S A ZOMBIE TOO!" A cloaked swordsman speaks into a den-den mushi, "UNTIL THE FIRST HOSTAGE FALLS!" "20 SECONDS LEFT..." and "AAAH... CAN YOU HEAR ME, ELBAPHI" A small warrior tumbles off a cliff. "HUHI!" "HEY... WHAT ARE YOU DOINGI" The giant warrior grabs Robin in a crushing embrace. "DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE... IN LOVE WITH MEI" Both react with shock, "HUHI!"

High above the clouds, an old man with glasses stares in shock as someone plummets from the cliff. "SERIOUS-LYI! YOU ACTUALLY JUMPEDI!" he yells. Below, he continues ranting, "ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF OR WHATI! YOUR FEELINGS TOUCH ME, BUT I DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW YOU TO THE AFTERLIFE!!" In the mid panels, Robin and her allies react urgently amid swirling clouds and distant figures. "IF THOSE DAMN INVISIBLE THORNS DISAPPEAR, WE CAN SAVE THE KIDS!" one shouts. Another notes, "I KNOW PERFECTLY THAT YOU'RE IMMORTAL... AND THAT YOU'RE A THORN-MAN..." while a voice wonders, "ROBINI! WHAT IS SHE DOING NOW..." and someone else exclaims, "OOH, BRAVO!" The action erupts as the girl plummets with massive impact SFX "ドズ!!" and "ドズ", crying "AHH!!" The old man sneers from the side, "NOT BAD, GIRL!! SO YOU THOUGHT THAT BY THROWING ME OFF THE CLIFF... YOU'D PUT THE KIDS OUT OF REACH OF MY POWERI!"

Explosions and motion lines fill the panels as the girl is hurled through the air amid thorns and debris. "FWOW" sounds as the old man is struck. The girl reacts with "HUHI!" while mid-air. A massive cloud of smoke and rock erupts as she vanishes, with narration noting, "SHE REALLY PLANNED EVERYTHING..." and cries of "WAH! SHE VANISH-ED!!" Below, a dark-haired woman stares in alarm, "ONLY TEN SECONDS LEFT!" and "IT'S HIM AGAIN!!" Nearby allies struggle with ropes, one saying, "THAT MEANS WE'LL ALSO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT GIRL TO GET OUT OF HERE!" while another complains, "DAMN! EVEN A KNIFE CAN'T CUT THESE ROPES!" A heart-marked figure adds, "SO CLASSY, ROBIN! I'VE GOT GOOSE-BUMPS ALL OVER!"

The girl hangs from a rope high above the chasm as a voice commands, "GUNKO, MAKE THEM HEAR THE GIRL'S VOICE!" and "I NEED AN ANSWER, JARL!" The rope snaps with sharp SFX. On the ground, a young woman with a bun sweats and smiles, "I... MASTER JARUL!" while an arrow points upward. A masked figure urges, "SAY SOMETHING." Below, a massive bearded giant reacts with shock, "RONYA! THAT'S MY DAUGHTER!" as Ronya shouts, "I HAVE LOTS OF FRIENDS THERE! I LOVE SCHOOL!" and "RONYA!" echoes from the crowd. A voice yells, "RUN!"

Ronya continues her desperate speech from the cliff edge, "AND MY TEACHERS TAUGHT ME... BECAUSE THE BOOKS TEACH US SO MUCH ABOUT THE WORLD!" and "AND I LOVE THE LIBRARY TOO!" as allies fight to reach her amid explosions and debris. She declares, "WE'LL GET YOU OUT OF THERE!" A close-up shows her tearful face as she cries, "AND THAT WE SHOULDN'T DO THINGS THEY DON'T LIKE! THAT WE SHOULDN'T BOTHER PEOPLE!" The giant Jarul and others react in horror. Ronya concludes, "THAT'S WHY IT'S BETTER IF I FALL! I THINK THAT WILL BOTHER EVERYONE! IF THE SCHOOL AND LIBRARY HAVE TO DISAPPEAR... SO I CAN SURVIVE... MASTER JARUL! DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!!" with SFX and panicked expressions all around.

A young boy with a topknot bursts into tears of relief, shouting "IT'S GONNA BE OKAY!" and "I'VE ALWAYS BEEN LUCKY!" while sweat and bubbles fly around his face. Below, numbered panels show chaos: "1!" marks an explosion near a building as warriors clash, followed by "2.." as an elderly long-haired man flashes a peace sign. A massive horned elder with wild hair and a crown roars from a close-up, commanding "SET THE SCHOOL ON FIRE!!" and "ANJE!" while a voice cries out "JARUL-SAMA!" amid flying debris and motion lines.

Scopper Gaban appears in multiple panels, yelling "SCOPPER GABAN!!" as an elder gasps "WHATI MY ARM ISN'T REGENERATING..." and "IT'S BEEN A WHILE!" A cloaked figure is struck, crying "GYAAH!" and "HUHI!" while impact effects "ドドド!!" and "ギャン!!" explode. The scene shifts to a massive tree library under attack: "THE LI-BRARY!! AND BURN..." A giant "ドドド!!" impact shakes the area. Nico Robin stands amid the chaos as voices shout "GET OUT OF HERE, ROBIN! DO SOMETHING!" "STOP IT!" and "GIHAHAHA! YOU LOOK RIDICULOUS, NICO ROBIN!" She responds with "UNDERSTOOD..." while "PLIC" and other effects mark the struggle. The page ends with the "ONE PIECE CHAPTER 1148 /END" label.
