The Will of Ohara

A colored illustration of Luffy in Gear Fifth form appears on the left, laughing with white smoke and energy effects around him. On the right are: INUMARU08 TRANSLATOR, ABDULLAH PROOFREADER, @CYBORGWORKS CL/RD, CYBORGWORKS, JERICHO COLORISTS, ONEPIECECFINALS TYPESETTER, EVO TLQUALITY, ANNA EDITOR. A NOTES section lists social media links for OPSCAN S1 on Twitter, Instagram, Discord, and the Colored Manga site. Large stylized text at the bottom reads "GEAR5" with Japanese characters.

A futuristic floating city with domes, towers, and a large "PUNK" bottle structure fills the sky as characters react in shock. Someone exclaims, "THIS FUTURISTIC CITY EXISTEDI!!" Another voice demands, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUTI!" A figure replies, "IT'S JUST A THEORY..." Narration continues: "THAT ONCE IN THE PAST..." In a lower panel, a group stands before an ancient doorway as text explains: "THEN HE FOUND A 'MACHINE' IN A CERTAIN PLACE.. THAT HAD A MANUFACTURE DATE WHICH MATCHED THE THEORY HE HAD IN MIND." Another balloon states: "IN THE WORLD OF ARCHAEOLOGISTS, THERE WAS ONCE A MAN WHO RISKED HIS LIFE TO FIND OUT ABOUT THAT KINGDOM..." A close-up shows a woman with a scar asking, "HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THATI" while another voice questions, "DURING THE 'VOID CENTURY'I" and continues, "WAS THAT MACHINE PRODUCED..."

The discussion continues with a helmeted figure stating, "I THINK THE REASON IT GOT DESTROYED WAS BECAUSE OHARA KNEW ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF THAT 'KINGDOM'." Another adds, "22 YEARS AGO, YOUR BIRTHPLACE OHARA WAS DESTROYED WITH A BUSTER CALL FROM THE NAVY." A voice notes, "ALL I REMEMBER ABOUT IT IS THAT IT WAS A PAINFUL STORY." Robin is asked, "ROBIN, DID YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THATI" The helmeted speaker explains: "TO MAKE SURE THAT NOBODY CARRIED 'THAT KINGDOM'S' IDEOLOGY, THEY ERASED ITS EXISTENCE FROM HISTORY." Further narration reveals: "THE WINNERS WERE THE '20 KINGDOMS'. THEY FOUNDED THE 'WORLD GOVERNMENT' THAT THE WORLD KNOWS TODAY." and "THE HISTORY ABOUT THE BATTLE WAS BETWEEN 'A CERTAIN KINGDOM' AND '20 KINGDOMS'." "DURING THE 'VOID CENTURY'... THERE ONCE WAS A HIGHLY ADVANCED CIVILIZATION THAT EXISTED." The Straw Hats react in shock: "WAIT A MINUTE, VEGAPUNK! THEN THOSE PEOPLE WHO KNEW ABOUT IT... THEY..." "WOW! WHAT A MASSIVE ROMANCE STORY!!" "HUHI! IS THAT STORY TRUE!I" "EH!I WHAT'S WITH THAT STORY!!!"

A helmeted figure marked 01 states, "YES, THEY'VE BEEN OBLITERATED." An unseen speaker demands, "THEN WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT IT SO EASILY!I" while another voice cries, "AH!!! I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT IT!" In the next panels, the armored figure faces Nico Robin as she realizes, "IF 'OHARA' WAS ERASED BECAUSE OF THIS THEORY, THAT MEANS..." The figure replies, "I SAID IT'S ONLY A THEORY, HOWEVER..." A panicked voice shouts, "AAAH! FORGET ABOUT IT! I HAVEN'T KNOWN OR HEARD ANYTHING EITHER!" Robin, sweating, asks, "NO, I'M SIMILAR TO YOU TOO, EVEN IF I WORK WITH THE GOVERNMENT... IF I TALK ABOUT IT, I'LL BE OBLITERATED." The figure explains, "THE RESEARCHERS IN OHARA MADE A THEORY FROM RESEARCHING VARIOUS IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS." Robin presses, "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU AREI TALKING ABOUT US LIKE THAT!I" The armored speaker continues, "ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE THEORY IS 'THE TRUTH', RIGHTI THE GOVERNMENT HAD..."

The armored figure declares, "THE WILL OF OHARA STILL LIVES." Robin, distressed, recalls, "EVERY BOOK THAT GATHERED AROUND THE WORLD HAS BEEN... THEN HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT 'KINGDOM'!I" A cloaked figure with "SSG" on the back reacts violently as someone yells, "THEN I DON'T WANNA HEAR MORE ABOUT IT! THIS IS TORTURE! JUST LET US GO!" Robin continues recounting, "THE 'WORLD GOVERNMENT' LABELED THEM AS AN EVIL SCHOLAR GROUP THAT WERE PLOTTING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD. GOT DESTROYED IN ONE NIGHT WITH A LONE GIRL AS ITS SURVIVOR. 'SCHOLAR ISLAND' OHARA THAT WAS FAMOUS WORLDWIDE FOR ITS KNOWLEDGE... THAT DAY, THE WORLD WAS IN UPROAR." She remembers, "HE WAS BRIGHT LIKE A FLOWER... I WAS AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE WITH THE SCHOLAR LEADER, PROFESSOR CLOVER... I WENT TO OHARA, WHICH HAD BECOME A BURNING FIELD. ABOUT MONTHS LATER AFTER THAT INCIDENT," as a young girl with a straw hat cries out in shock.

Flashback panels show Professor Clover aboard a ship labeled "CLOVER," with narration noting he became famous as the world's number one archeologist yet was captured and imprisoned ten times by the Navy. He was known as an adventurer gathering books worldwide and was very interested in the "Void Century." The armored figure recalls, "WHEN I WENT THERE, I COULDN'T BELIEVE THEY EVEN BURNED THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE. THEN OHARA BECAME THE SANCTUARY FOR ARCHEOLOGISTS. THEN HE GATHERED EVERY SCHOLAR IN OHARA. IT WAS A TRAGIC THING FOR SUCH A TALENTED MAN." Robin listens as the figure describes, "THEY DIED PROTECTING THE REMAINING 'FORTUNES' FOR THE FUTURE. THE SCHOLARS WERE TRYING TO STOP IT. SEEING THAT THEIR ISLAND WAS ON FIRE BECAUSE OF THE BUSTER CALL. WHAT IS THISI THEN WHEN I WENT INTO THE CENTRAL AREA, I FOUND A LOT OF BOOKS DROWNING IN THERE," with dramatic sound effects and Robin's shocked expression.

The armored figure continues, "WHEN I SAW IT, MY TEARS WOULDN'T STOP FLOWING! THE CLUELESS SOLDIERS SAW IT, BUT THEY DIDN'T REALIZE ITS VALUE. IT WAS A GREAT VICTORY FOR OHARA." In the burning ruins of Ohara, a young Robin clings desperately, crying, "I'M STAYING HERE TOO! I DON'T WANT US TO BE SEPARATED, MOM! I STILL HAVE THINGS TO DO HERE." Her mother replies, "YOU HAVE TO ESCAPE FROM THIS ISLAND, PLEASE, ROBIN!" Robin pleads, "THAT YOU'LL BE LIVING INN!! WE SHOULDN'T GIVE UP ON THE FUTURE." Professor Clover's voice echoes, "HISTORY IS AN 'ASSET' FOR HUMANITY," as scholars carry books amid the Buster Call destruction. Robin's mother urges, "ROBIN... BRING IT OUT OF THE LIBRARY! PROTECT THE BOOKS!" Young Robin watches in tears as the library collapses.

Flashbacks erupt across the ruined island of Ohara. A young figure runs desperately through smoke and flames shouting, "OHARA FOUGHT DA WORLD!!" Another voice cries, "YER MOM IS AN HONORABLE WOMAN!!" Robin screams "MOM!!" as a hand reaches out; the reply comes, "BE PROUD, ROBIN!" In the present, a helmeted figure confronts Vegapunk inside a high-tech facility labeled with a large "5," yelling, "I WON'T FORGIVE YOU, VEGAPUNK! LET OUR FEET GO, YOU BASTARD!" Another shouts, "WAIT, HELMET! YOU MADE OUR ROBIN CRY!" Vegapunk stands calmly as the helmeted man is held back. Nearby, a scarred man with a serious expression recalls, "BUT MY PLEA TO THE HIGHER-UPS FELL ON DEAF EARS. THAT TIME, I WANTED TO BRING THEM TO PUNK HAZARD.." Vegapunk replies, "I SEE. THEN IT WAS REALLY THE TRUTH. OHARA DID TRY TO EXPOSE THAT 'KINGDOM' JUST AS YOU PREDICTED." He asks, "DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BOOKS IN THE LAKEI"

Months later after the Buster Call incident, the scene shifts to the ruins of Ohara in West Blue twenty-two years ago. A figure peers through a door asking, "THAT DAY, I ENCOUNTERED THOSE GUYS." In the flooded ruins, giants stand among the wreckage as voices question, "WHO ARE THOSE GUYS IN THE RUINSI" and "WHY ARE THE GIANTS HERE!I WHAT'LL THEY DOI DO THEY KNOW THE VALUE OF THOSE BOOKS!I" One giant yells, "YOSHI! PULL IT UP!" A mustached man reacts in shock, "IT'S THE GIANTS!I" The giants haul massive books from the water. Later, the mustached man stares upward in recognition, exclaiming, "YOU ARE... IT'S BEEN A WHILE! I CAN RECOGNIZE YOU BY LOOKING AT THAT STAND OUT HAIR OF YOURS! VEGAPUNK!!"

Vegapunk and a tall man with a black coat and spiky hair stand face to face. The tall man says, "SO I'M GLAD THEY DIDN'T DESTROY IT. HE SAID, 'I WON'T LET THE ASSETS THAT OHARA LEFT BECOME ERASED FROM HISTORY'." Vegapunk responds, "WAIT! I'M NOT..." The tall man continues, "YOU GUYS FROM THE WORLD GOVERNMENT DIDN'T REALIZE ITS VALUE." They argue about the past; the tall man notes, "I KNEW HIM WHEN HE WAS A ROUGH GUY WHO TRAVELED AROUND THE WORLD. TO LABEL HIM AS SOMEONE WHO TRIED TO DESTROY THE WORLD IS... UNBELIEVABLE!" Vegapunk retorts about the World Government and the Navy. The tall man, identified as Monkey D. Dragon, stands with arms crossed while Vegapunk gestures. Dragon asks, "WHY ARE YOU HEREI!" and "YOUR HEAD BECAME LARGER THAN BEFORE, HUHI" Vegapunk replies about Clover's acquaintance. Smaller panels show Dragon's past resolve and the Ohara scholars.

Dragon sits on a rocky shore surrounded by flowers, declaring, "I WILL MAKE AN ARMY THAT CAN FIGHT IT!" Vegapunk questions him, "YOUI WHO DESPISES VIOLENCEI" Dragon answers firmly, "JUST SEE IT, VEGAPUNK! I WILL CHANGE THE WORLD!" Narration recalls, "AND BARTHOLOMEW KUMA... EMPORIO IVANKOV... THAT YEAR, DRAGON, ALONG WITH... THEY ESTABLISHED THE 'REVOLUTION ARMY' THAT SHOCKED THE WORLD!" Dragon stands with a fierce expression, vowing, "IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE, THEY BEAT UP THOSE POWERLESS RESEARCHERS WITH VIOLENCE... JUST BECAUSE THEY HAD AN 'UNREASONABLE OPINION'! CLOVER'S DEATH AND THE WILL OF OHARA GO IN VAIN! I WON'T LET.." The final panel shows his intense glare as the chapter's resolve solidifies.

Vegapunk, wearing his signature helmet marked 01, stands amid the wreckage as voices question him. "VEGAPUNK, WHY DID YOU REMODEL HIMI" "I'M SHOCKED! WHY DID KUMA SAVE USI" Robin exclaims, "DRAGON WAS PROFESSOR CLOVER'S ACQUAINTANCEI I NEVER KNEW THEY KNEW EACH OTHER!" Another voice adds, "LUFFY'S FATHER IS VERY PASSIONATE! THEY WENT TO ELBAFI" Vegapunk replies, "SO THAT BASTARD 'IVA' IS ONE OF REVOLUTIONARY ARMY'S FOUNDERS..." He continues explaining, "THEY LET ME READ ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS. BECAUSE I WAS VERY INTERESTED IN THEM, I SECRETLY WENT TO ELBAF.... DIDN'T FALL INTO THE GOVERNMENT'S HANDS. THE BOOKS OF OHARA... IN OTHER WORDS... I READ ALL ABOUT OHARA AND THE SECRETS OF THE WORLD." In close-up, Vegapunk taps his helmet, declaring, "INSIDE OF MY HEAD FOR PROGRESSING MY RESEARCH! IT'S ALL..."

Vegapunk's voice continues, "NO ONE WILL DISCLOSE HIS WHEREABOUTS. RIGHT NOW HE IS HIDING." Robin, tears streaming, asks, "THE NAME OF THAT GIANT'S CAPTAIN IS SAUL, RIGHTI" Vegapunk answers, "I'M AN ALLY FOR EVERY SCHOLAR. PLEASE DON'T LET OHARA'S BATTLE GO IN VAIN! THAT IS MY NATURE AS A RESEARCHER." Robin cries out, "THANK YOU, DR. VEGAPUNK!!" Vegapunk then says, "THERE IS SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO SHOW YOU. I STILL CAN'T RELEASE YOU.... FOLLOW ME." Suddenly the mechanical shoes activate on their own, startling everyone as a voice yells, "THE SHOES ARE MOVING BY THEMSELVES! UWAH!"

The group arrives at the Egghead Fabric-Phase Scrap Yard. Chopper rides a strange mechanical bull, shouting, "I SEE! SO IT'S AN AUTOMATIC TYPE! OIII THERE'S NO PLACE TO RIDE IT, CHOPPER!" Luffy, Usopp, and others gather around a large inactive robot. They shout commands: "MOVE, ROBONOSUKE!!" "MOVE, ROBOKING!!" "ARE YOU CHILDRENI THAT WON'T MAKE IT MOVE." Luffy suggests, "NO, IT PROBABLY HAS A NAME. MAYBE WE NEED TO CALL ITS NAME TO MOVEI MAYBE IT NEEDS A PASSWORD..." Usopp tries, "MOVE, ROBOT!!" Suddenly the robot activates violently. Luffy screams, "UWAAH! THE ROBOT IS EXPLODING!"

Chaos erupts as the robot malfunctions. Vegapunk yells, "YES! LIKE THISI PUSH IT DOWN..." while struggling with controls. A voice cries, "SOMEONE, PLEASE HELP ME! DAMN IT! IT STILL FAILED! PLEASE HELP ME!!" Vegapunk is launched skyward, shouting, "UWOH, I FLEW TOO HIGH!!!" The massive title "Dr. VEGAPUNK" appears with his full epithet. Nearby, Luffy lands amid the group. Bonney shouts, "I KNEW YOU WOULD COME HERE! YOU ARE DRAGON'S SON, RIGHTI" Vegapunk greets, "WELCOME!" as others react: "HE IS...!I" "I'LL HELP YOU!" "WHAT'S WITH THIS GUY!I HE'S JUST LIKE KINEMON!" "I'M VERY SORRY. I'M DROWNING-" Vegapunk explains the hover function in the DOM shoes while the Straw Hats react in confusion. Bonney floats upward, yelling, "EHI GRAMPS, ARE YOU FLOATING!I ALSO, BONNEY YOU GREW UP!I" The page ends with frantic calls of "VEGAPUNK!" and "I'M VERY HAPPY YOU'RE FINE!"
