Professor Clover is a significant character introduced in the flashback of Nico Robin, as he is one of the scholars studying the Poneglyphs at Ohara, which led to a tragic incident. This incident resulted in the destruction of the entire island and the loss of the lives of its inhabitants due to the Buster Call.
Most members of the “D” family, to this day, are recognized as prominent figures in the world of One Piece, such as Monkey D. Garp or Gol D. Roger, as well as royal figures like Nefertari D. Vivi. Currently, the introduction of Clover—a scholar—is a clear indication that the lineage of the “D” family is expanding into multiple areas of significance.
The “D” Family in One Piece
The families associated with the letter “D” in One Piece include:
- Monkey D.
- Portgas D.
- Gol D.
- Rocks D.
- Trafalgar D.
- Nefertari D.
- Marshall D.
- Jaguar D.
Up to now, we have seen many families with the letter “D” in their names within One Piece, yet we still do not know what the letter signifies. The mystery surrounding the “D” lineage continues to deepen, but Oda remains tight-lipped and gradually unveils information over time.
The revelation that Clover belongs to the “D” family may hint that Nico Robin’s lineage could be linked to the “D” family as well. However, we will have to wait for the next chapter to learn more details, which is set to be released on July 21, 2024, on Manga Plus.
