Professor Clover Was a Member of the D Clan
Remember the elderly professor, Clover, from Robin’s flashback in the Enies Lobby arc? He was a highly experienced professor and archaeologist at the Tree of Knowledge. Chapter 1120 featured a flashback of a conversation between Professor Clover and Dr. Vegapunk at Punk Hazard. During this conversation, Clover shared his backstory, revealing that one of his closest acquaintances, who also had the initial D in their name, was killed in front of him.
The Truth About Clover’s Past
It turns out that this person was Clover’s elder brother. To protect himself from the Marines and the World Government, Clover had to pretend he was just a friend to his brother. He could have been killed alongside his brother just because they both had the initial D in their names. In chapter 1120, Clover’s full name, Clou D. Clover, was revealed, showing that the Clover family has been part of the D Clan for a long time.
Clover’s Obsession with History
Everyone knows about Clover’s passion for uncovering the real history of the world and the Void Century. What we didn’t know is that this passion came from the guilt of lying to save himself that day. To honor his brother and all those who carried the initial D, Clover went on many expeditions to learn and reveal the truth. Even though Dr. Vegapunk didn’t help him back then, he took on Clover’s mission after his death during the Ohara Incident. Vegapunk has now broadcast a message to the world to reveal the truth hidden by the World Government.
A New Layer to Clover’s Character
Oda’s decision to make Clover a member of the D Clan has added depth to Clover’s character and enriched the One Piece lore. What do you think about this new revelation in chapter 1120 of One Piece? Let us know in the comments below.
