Origin
At the end of the Void Century, the World Government outlawed the research of Ponegyph. Because of this, countless people who tried to study the 100 missing years were killed.

Ohara was one of the Archaeologist clans who believed that they managed to evade the World Government's eyes, yet in reality the World Goverment always observed this island.

In 1496 AOS six people along with Nico Olvia, Robin's mother, went on a journey to complete her late husband's work. However, by the end of the 6 year mission, Nico Olvia and her group were caught by the Marines. Six of Olvia's people were killed when defending her and Olvia was left alive. Interestingly, Aokiji would later use this situation to lie to the Straw Hat Pirates about Robin.

The Marines managed to look at the IDs of the dead Oharans and found out that they were from Ohara. Because of this, the World Government decided that they would have to destory Ohara.
