The recently released spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1120 have confirmed that Professor Clover, the director of the Ohara Library, was in fact a member of the D Clan. This revelation has come as a shock to One Piece fans, as he is the second member from the island of Ohara to carry the Will of D along with his name. The first being Jaguar D. Saul.
The will of D has recently been mentioned quite a few times since Vegapunk started broadcasting his message to the One Piece world, and this has given fans hope that maybe Eiichiro Oda might reveal another major member of the D clan who is going to be extremely important for the One Piece narrative.
And by confirming Clover as a D clan member, Oda might have already hinted that the next ‘Will of D’ member might be Nico Robin, the archaeologist of the Straw Hat Pirates. There were already a few hints that pointed to Robin carrying the Will of D, just like Luffy and the others.
One Piece Chapter 1120 Confirms Clover Was a D Clan Member
July 9th, 2024, saw the release of the spoilers for one of the most-awaited chapters of the One Piece manga, chapter 1120. Although the spoilers were brief, they gave a good description of what will happen in the chapter that is scheduled to be released on July 14, 2024.
According to the spoilers, the most important revelation in the chapter will be Clover’s disclosure as a Will of D member. The chapter points out that during a flashback, Clover was with Vegapunk in Punk Hazard, and it is there that the scholar revealed that he also carries the Will of D, and no one else knows about it other than him.
Clover being a member of the D clan makes much more sense, as he and his colleagues were hellbent on finding out the truth about the One Piece world. Not only that, he even encouraged other people to dig out the secrets that the World Government has been hiding from the world for so long.
Eiichiro Oda Hints At Another Straw Hat Member Carrying The Will of D
The confirmation of Clover being a D clan member has strengthened the assumptions of Robin bearing the same initial. Fans have been speculating for a long time that, just like Luffy Robin, he also carries the Will of D. Most of these speculations come from the fact that she is literally called the Devil Child, and the Will of D links the characters to the devil.
Another aspect that confirms Robin being a D clan member is her eagerness to find out the mystery of the One Piece world and defy the World Government in the process. As seen in the series, almost every member of the D clan works against the World Government and is trying to find out the secrets of the world.
Both Jaguar D. Saul and Clover were closely related to Nico Robin. While one helped her with studying the art of archaeology, another supported her during her loneliness and helped her deal with the pain. Thus, all of these aspects confirm that Robin might be the next Straw Hat to carry the Will of D in One Piece.
