Uncovering a New D Clan Member Associated with Ohara

One of the greatest mysteries that Oda sensei has been keeping since the Enies Lobby storyline was finally disclosed in One Piece chapter 1120. During the tale arc in which Luffy and his pirate crew rescued their nakama from the World Government, we discovered Nico Robin's background. To everyone's amazement, one of the main individuals in her background turned out to be a D Clan member. Now, let's discover who the newest D clan member is.

D Clan Member Professor Clover was

In case you missed it, the old man known as Clover was revealed to be the highly skilled professor and archeologist of the Tree of Knowledge during Robin's flashback in the Enies Lobby arc (one of the best One Piece arcs).

A short flashback of the interaction between Professor Clover and Dr. Vegapunk at Punk Hazard was included in One Piece chapter 1120. The professor related to Vegapunk his own account of how one of his closest friends, who had the last name D, was murdered right in front of him.

It turned out to be none other than the older brother of the Clovers. That day, Clover had to pretend to be a friend to his brother in order to avoid the anger of the World Government and the Marines. Due to the initial "D" appearing in their names, he and his sibling may have been executed.

Moreover, chapter 1120 revealed his full name, Clou D. Clover, indicating that the professor and the Clover family had been D clan members for a very long time.

Everyone knows about Clover's preoccupation with learning the true history of the Void Century and this world. We were unaware, however, that the source of this devotion was his remorse about lying to save himself that day.

He set out on missions to find out and unearth the truth in order to pay tribute to his brother's legacy and the memories of all D carriers. He received his will after Dr. Vegapunk's death during the Ohara Incident, despite the fact that the doctor had previously declined to assist him. As a result, Vegapunk is now spreading a message to the rest of the globe to reveal the reality that the globe Government has been hiding.

One Piece mythology, particularly the professor's role, was greatly enhanced by Oda's brilliant choice to give Clover more depth as a member of the "D" clan.
