Introduction
Nico Robin, also known by her epithet "Devil Child" and the "Light of the Revolution", is the archaeologist of the Straw Hat Pirates and one of the Senior Officers of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. She is the seventh member of the crew and the sixth to join, doing so at the end of the Arabasta Arc. She temporarily left the crew during the Water 7 Arc but rejoined during the Enies Lobby Arc. Born into a family of archaeologists, Robin is the daughter of Nico Olvia. Robin ate the Hana Hana no Mi at a young age, giving her the power to reproduce her body parts (or her entire body) on any surface at will. As the sole survivor of the destroyed West Blue island Ohara, she is currently one of only two people in the world known to have the ability to read and decipher Poneglyphs, a skill which is considered forbidden and threatening to the World Government. She acted as the vice president of Baroque Works as "Miss All Sunday", serving and partnering herself directly with the organization's president; the ex-Warlord: Crocodile, who operated under the codename "Mr. 0". She was the secondary antagonist of the Arabasta Arc and Saga, before joining the Straw Hats. Her dream is to find the Rio Poneglyph which tells the true history of the world, specifically the Void Century. She gained a bounty of 79,000,000 at the age of 8 due to her ability to read poneglyphs after the destruction of Ohara. It later increased to 80,000,000 after the Straw Hats invaded Enies Lobby to rescue her and escape. After the Dressrosa Arc, it was increased to 130,000,000. Following the Raid on Onigashima, her bounty was increased to 930,000,000.

Appearance
Summary
Nico Robin is a tall, slender young woman with shoulder-length black hair styled in a classic hime cut and eyes that have dark, wide pupils (her eyes are depicted to be brown in the manga as well as the tenth and twelfth movies; while in the anime, her eyes are depicted to be blue cerulean). She also has a long, thin, and defined nose. In the anime, Robin's skin tone has a slightly darker tan unlike in manga-colored artworks where it is lighter. Robin also resembles her mother greatly, with the exception of her hair color and style as well as having a slightly darker skin tone than her. Robin's limbs are very long, especially her legs, contributing greatly to both her fighting capabilities (given the nature of her powers) and overall height.
Before The Timeskip
She has no trademark looks like the others, though her all-purple cowgirl look from when she was first introduced is often associated with her trademark look. Like Nami, Robin seems to be fond of revealing outfits as she is frequently wearing clothing that is either dark in color (often black or purple) or consists of leather (sometimes both). She is also fond of high heels, which do not seem to affect the way she walks or her speed. Robin sometimes wore a gold arm band with white fringes attached to it with the letter N on it, which stands for her family name. She also had a similar one with BW on it, which stood for Baroque Works, but no longer wears it as she is no longer affiliated with the group. She has also worn a purple outback hat on numerous occasions. In the Arabasta Arc, she wore a revealing cowgirl outfit consisting of a purple cleavage-exposing corset and matching miniskirt, both with white ornaments hanging from them, and a white fur-lined coat paired with a white cowboy hat and white high-heeled boots. At the end of the arc when she started traveling with the Straw Hats, she wore a more modest buttoned-up long-sleeved lavender shirt with long purple pants and a pair of purple boots. In the Skypiea Arc, along with Nami, Robin changed her outfit into something more appropriate for Angel Beach, switching into a yellow sleeveless shirt and purple pants reaching to her calves (which would not get wet as she walked on the beach), with a simple belt around her waist. She sported her white ornament on her left arm, and not needing footwear on the beach, ventured over to the shore barefoot. She put on purple high-heeled Mary Janes when she required shoes for travelling around the rest of Skypiea, and once the crew began exploring the ruins of Upper Yard, she donned her trademark white cowboy hat, which she still wore for the time being. In the Long Ring Long Land Arc, she wore her purple jacket over a blouse with aquamarine trim, dark blue pants, and matching boots. After being frozen by Kuzan and subsequently thawed out, she changed into more casual clothes to keep warm, consisting of a waist-length black sweatshirt with a dark gray hood, black leggings that reached down to the middle of her thighs, and simple white slippers. In the Water 7 and Enies Lobby Arc, she wore a short, black, cleavage-revealing leather dress with long sleeves over what looked like a lighter, white polka-dotted underdress. She also wore black thigh-high-heeled boots. In the Post-Enies Lobby Arc, she was seen wearing a tight-fitting, pink t-shirt that has the Galley-La Company emblem at the front and a pair of black trousers. She also wore a pair of white high-heeled shoes. Later, she replaced the T-shirt with a tight, pinstriped purple buttoned sweater and dark high-heeled shoes. In the Thriller Bark Arc, she wore a short garnet dress (purple in the anime) with lace embroidered edges, stockings reaching up to her thighs held up by suspenders, and black high-heeled boots with two lines of buttons on the front. In the Sabaody Archipelago Arc, she wore a black (purple in the anime) outfit consisting of a cowboy hat, a cleavage-revealing sleeveless shirt, with a wide, yellow collar covered with black concentric circle motifs, matching pants reaching down to her calves, and purple high-heeled Mary Janes. She also had a string of round and yellow ornaments that hung loosely from around her waist. While imprisoned on Tequila Wolf, Robin wore a single-piece blue prison jumpsuit, with a revealing chest. While on Tequila Wolf, Robin's skin tone seemed to slowly lighten in color (possibly due to the cold weather of Tequila Wolf). After she was rescued by the Revolutionary Army,
After The Timeskip
Summary
From the Return to Sabaody Arc to near the end of the Fish-Man Island Arc, Robin's black hair (also lightened in color) has grown longer, which reaches to her lower back, and it is pulled back, so it reveals more of her forehead and ears. After the timeskip, her outfit now is a long salmon sarong skirt that has a design of a green seaweed with red and yellow flowers on the side with ruffles that bares her hips with a partially-zipped short-sleeved navy blue (sometimes purple in manga and some other media) leather vest with a V-neck line and an image of her Devil Fruit or of an actual Chrysanthemum morifolium is printed on the left breast near the shoulder that exposes her stomach, darker pink (sometimes red in other media) high heeled pumps, and a lavender pink backpack. She wears white sunglasses with orange lenses (black in the manga) which she hangs on her forehead and is seen wearing them during the battle with the New Fish-Man Pirates in the Gyoncorde Plaza. Like Nami, Robin's breasts have also grown much larger and rounder, but her appearance has not changed much, save for the fact that her hourglass figure and body curves have become more pronounced. Robin's skin tone seemed to lighten with color to the point of the manga's skin color (possibly due to the time spent training indoors). Unlike the other members, Robin did not grow taller as she remains at 188 cm. After the battle for Fish-Man Island, Robin wore a teal, long-sleeved V-neck dress. While exploring the Burning Lands of Punk Hazard during the Punk Hazard Arc with some of her crewmates, Robin removes her dress due to the heat to reveal a floral camisole and black shorts; she later ties the dress around her waist. She also has on very high heels with this outfit and still wears her new trademark sunglasses over her forehead. She later wears a long, spotted winter coat over this while on the Ice Lands of the island, which she took from a female member of Brownbeard's Centaur Patrol Unit. During the events in Dressrosa, she wears a very short, black dress. It is low cut, and hence, a large portion of her breasts are visible, as well as her legs and lower thighs. Her costume also includes her sunglasses, black high-heel boots, and a white bell-brimmed hat. She also chooses to wear her hair in a high ponytail. The hat was an extra precaution she used to hide her face along with her sunglasses to avoid being spotted by her enemies on the island, primarily the CP0 agents. She also temporarily disguised herself as one of the grunts in the Donquixote Pirates, borrowing a uniform similar to that of a burglar with a dark long-sleeved turtleneck, dark camouflage pants, boots, gloves, and a unique horned hat (as some of the grunts wore unique headgear). After the events of the Dressrosa Arc, she wears a light-colored tank top with the word "Corrida" written on it along with dark-colored shorts (pink tank top and purple shorts in the anime). During the Zou Arc, she wears a light purple turtleneck, dark, fuchsia-colored shorts, and cream heels. During the Wano Country Arc, she tied her hair up, wore lipstick, and dressed in a black traditional Geisha outfit. Her second outfit was a purple kimono in white and purple squares patterns. Her third outfit consists of a mostly white kunoichi attire with a purple daffodil pattern, and a dark purple tsuke obi with a large blue bow in the back, as well as a light purple obiage, and a red obijime. She also has a dark flower pattern-covered cloak over her shoulders, and her hair is tied back with a red ribbon. When Kin'emon used his Devil Fruit abilities to disguise them, she wore a Beasts Pirates attire. During the Egghead Arc, Robin wears a cropped, unzipped black leather jacket connected at the hem by a belt that wraps around her stomach, and attached to her underwear with garter-like straps. She does not wear pants and wears purple gloves, an orange earpiece, and a pair of black DOM Shoes with orange thigh-high socks. During the Elbaph Arc, Robin had Brook cut her hair to match how it was when she met Jaguar D. Saul, and by extension her hairstyle from before the timeskip. As a result, she now lets her bangs down again. She wears a light-colored tank top with a heart-shaped jolly roger on it, as well as a pair of dark short shorts. After arriving at Western Village, in preparation for her reunion with Jaguar D. Saul, Robin changed into a long dark dress with long dark boots; which is similar in appearance to the outfit she used to wear as a child. After her reunion with Saul, Robin was gifted with Viking style attire made by Gerd. The outfit consisted of a light-colored leather crop top exposing her stomach, with a short fur cape, as well as a skirt-like leather pants with the right pant-leg missing. The outfit also sported a leather belt with a series of decorative strips covering the left pant-leg, long leather high heeled boots, and a pair of armbands.
Body Measurements
The author has also answered to a fan's question asking about Robin's body measurements are as follows: Updated measurements were provided in SBS Volume 37, in which Eiichiro Oda responded to a fan question by saying that her height is 188 cm (6'2"), making her the fourth tallest member of the Straw Hat Pirates, after Jinbe, Brook, and Franky, and according to Sanji, her three measurements were B99-W59-H89 (39"-23.23"-35.04"), making her breasts an I-cup in Japan. After the timeskip, in SBS Volume 69, her height is the same, and her measurements are B100-W60-H90 (39.37"-23.62"-35.43"), making her breasts a J-cup in Japan.

Introduction
Personality
Summary
Out of all the members of the Straw Hat Pirates, Robin is the most serene and has rarely been seen to act comically. She approaches life and the world at large in a calm and collected manner and is overall one of the most emotionally stable members of the crew. She is kind, polite and treats Luffy with more respect than the most of the crew, even when he acts impulsively, to the point where she will smile and laugh at his antics rather than berate him. Together with Zoro, she is one of the members that support Luffy's decisions unconditionally. When the crew is sailing, Robin is usually reading and investigating data from the places they visit. She is very wise and very patient in everything. Robin does not play a specific role in the ship, but she can foresee what can be found somewhere and that (in her own words), is of advantage to others. Luffy considers her a very intelligent member. Through her heritage on the island of scholars, Robin is an archaeologist and historian who seeks the comfort and freedom to study the mysteries of the world. She is the quieter, more reserved crew member, rarely having outbursts of emotions (occasional exceptions being sweat drops, and when she cried out to Luffy and the Straw Hats from the Tower of Justice during the Enies Lobby Arc). She even appears calm while speaking ominously around her crewmates. She has an "adult charm" about her, as stated by Sanji. Being described as the "mother" by Oda, she in kind has shown maternal care for younger characters like Chopper, Momonosuke, Toko and Jewelry Bonney. Being an archeologist, Robin is highly passionate about the world's history and uncovering the mysteries of its past. As such, she does not tolerate people who regard history as meaningless or destroy objects of historical significance. She became furious at Yama because he destroyed valuable artifacts from Shandora, and swiftly defeated him after. She shows little interest in the Ancient Weapons that individuals such as Crocodile and Spandam seek. However, she might be the only one who is able to awaken them.
Calm Demeanor
Both in and out of battle, Robin tends to maintain a relaxed demeanor that only seems to change whenever circumstances prove to be far beyond what she can handle (i.e., a hopeless situation). More often than not, however, she exhibits nigh-unshakable calmness and reserved behavior against inferior adversaries, to the point where she typically displays by using her powers to satisfy minor necessities (i.e., using a pair of arms sprouting from the ground to form a make-shift seat). As a result of her violent past, she is very merciless in combat and does not shy away from using lethal force. She will break the necks or spines of her enemies without hesitation, even when they cry for forgiveness, as demonstrated when she in her fight against Yama. Despite her tendency to remain calm and collected, she can be quite intimidating and forceful when she wishes, as demonstrated when she essentially forces Brook to stop fooling around and continue his explanation. She even states her willingness to be a demon if she has to be, especially for the people counting on her. Despite Robin's ability to cope with the bizarre, she was unable to take in the idea of Dwarves and was even shocked by their nature of easily trusting people, something she usually laughs off whenever Luffy does it. Robin was originally the only member of the crew to possess no face-faults. However, after arriving at Dressrosa, her significant change in personality begins to present itself. Robin has since expressed multiple face-faults, demonstrating that she is no longer the stoic, uncompromising individual she used to be and instead has a newfound sense of candor and emotional vulnerability. Robin was also overcome with emotion at the sight of Kanjuro's Nobori Ryu technique, which produced a pitiful-looking dragon that she found to be overwhelmingly cute to the point of blushing, whom the crew soon dubbed "Ryunosuke". She was moved to tears at its noble effort to climb Zou's hind leg to the top, struggling because of its feeble features, and then honored its memory when it turned back into a drawing and ceased to be "alive" by placing flowers on its "grave" where it had reverted to drawing form.
Morbid Behavior
Robin has a somewhat macabre side to her, and often points out gross or morbid facts, usually to the disgust of Nami or Usopp. Robin will usually be the first to speculate that a crewmate has met or will meet with a horrible fate, often going into grisly detail. In other instances, she will express enthusiasm for anything with a horror theme. Examples include: When Robin first joins the crew, Usopp asks her what her specialty is, to which she replies, "Assassination". When Luffy, Zoro and Sanji were exploring a galleon that had fallen from Skypiea and were eaten by a giant sea turtle, Robin immediately states that they may have been eaten along with the ship. When Nami asks if Zoro was eaten by the sky shark, she says that the clouds would be turning red if he was. When Nami is forced to swing on a rope past the sky sharks, Robin says the height is about 50 meters and she would die if she fell. Zoro and Nami return to the Going Merry in Skypiea but they cannot find Chopper, who was guarding the ship. Robin remarks that he may have been "shredded to pieces". When Chopper is taken by the Foxy Pirates during a Davy Back Fight, Nami asks if Foxy is a collector of rare pets. Robin says, "Hopefully not a collector of rare pelts". When the crew decide on the name "Thousand Sunny" for their new ship, Robin says that she was going to suggest the "Being of Darkness". On Thriller Bark, she voluntarily investigates Thriller Bark with Luffy and Franky. She told Nami that she "likes thrills". As Nami screams while testing the Mini Merry II on Thriller Bark, Robin remarks that she may have been cursed by a ghost. When they are attacked by the Cerberus on Thriller Bark, Robin says that she finds it "cute". While the Straw Hats are looking for Nami, Chopper and Usopp at Thriller Bark, Robin says that they are not even able to hear their voices anymore, wondering if they were strangled. While searching for a way to reach Fish-Man Island in the Shark Submerge III, Robin, Luffy and Brook encounter a giant sea monster that attacks them which resulted in Robin amusingly commenting on his big mouth that could swallow them instead of worrying about the situation. While the other crew members commented on Sanji's bizarre luck in reaction to Duval's face, Robin quipped that he would certainly have an interesting death one day. When Luffy's group went out to beat the kraken and lost their way back to the ship she mildly commented that hopefully they would not be ripped to shreds by some monster. As Noah approached the battlefield between Straw Hat Pirates and New Fish-Man Pirates, she wondered whether the ocean would be dyed red if everyone was smashed by it. When Robin heard the news that Nami, Franky, Sanji and Chopper were kidnapped by some mysterious men with rifles, she seemed concerned if they were already shot and had multiple holes in their body. While riding on Brownbeard with Luffy, Zoro, Usopp and Brook, she commented that it would be nice if Nami and the others' arms and legs have not come off from frostbite. When Usopp asked what had fallen, as the group was making its way up the left hind leg of Zunesha to get to the top, Robin said that it looked like a person that was bleeding with knives sticking out of him. When Usopp saw Wanda wear Nami's clothes and asked for her whereabouts, Robin wondered if the Mink Tribe has a taste for human flesh. When Wanda insinuated that the other Straw Hats and company had been slaughtered and their bodies were in a forest in Zou, Robin concluded that because their remains were intact it meant they were not used for sustenance. When Jinbe destroys an enemy ship at Wano, Robin states they could be targeted by the ghost of babies who died at sea. While she was posing as a member of the Beasts Pirates, Robin acted like she wanted to rip out Momonosuke's eyes. When looking for Vegapunk and seeing some vital organs, she believed at first that it was the dismembered body of the scientist. Before the events of Enies Lobby, she often spoke only when spoken to or if something noteworthy happened. Her calmness is likely a result of the childhood that led to her life of hardship. The calamity that befell Ohara had a profound and traumatizing effect on Robin as a child, that she has only just begun to recover from. However, as she begins to spend more time around the crew, her personality begins to ease up. When Robin is rescued by the Straw Hats from Enies Lobby, it is then that she considers herself both their friend and an official member of the crew. After the timeskip, Robin's personality is much more relaxed and playful in nature (as evidenced by her common giggling), quite possibly due to her exposure to the other Straw Hats. She has also been shown to possess an outstanding amount of knowledge, especially in history.
Archaeological Reverence
As an archaeologist, Robin has interest in reading the writings of ancient ruins and examining them. She considers them very precious in the same way how Nami considers money and is infuriated by anyone destroying them in the same how Sanji is with food wasters so she'll be mercilessly violent towards those who vandalises them which Yama found it the hard way in the Skypiea Arc. Nevertheless, Robin understands that historical records cannot outweigh the importance of lives, as she tearfully accepted it when Jarul ordered the Owl Library to be burned down to save ten children from the God's Knights.
Running Gag
In spite of her mature appearance and calm demeanor, she seems to have a childlike imagination. Although she is often shown imagining bizarre, silly, or cute images, she will rarely give voice to these thoughts, maintaining the straightest of "poker faces". When Bartholomew Kuma mentioned that he was the user of the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi, Usopp thought that the calm sound that the fruit's name gave when being said meant that there was a "soothing" type for Devil Fruits, which made Robin imagine three cute cats showing their paws and meowing, while still having a blank expression on her face. Another example of this is when she, Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp were going to cross a river to get to the Ice Region of Punk Hazard, during which Zoro gave the idea of swimming across since being on the Fire Region of said island got them sweaty. Luffy agreed to the idea, thinking that Zoro and Usopp would carry him and Robin across since they cannot swim. This made Robin imagine Zoro and Usopp swimming happily while carrying Luffy and her, while also being happy and smiling, and still showing her normal smiling face on the outside, even though Usopp was strongly against this idea. She also imagined Dressrosa as a dress-wearing old woman when Luffy mispronounced the name. Her silence seems to stem from her sense of decorum and personal pride on many occasions, she flatly refuses to engage in any behavior that would be considered embarrassing. She refused to participate in Franky's "Tactic No. 15" docking procedure during the battle against Oars. The reason was that she found it "embarrassing as a human being" (she even made a supposed embarrassed face, though it was more noticeable). She then coldly told them never to ask her to do it again.
Maturity And Kindness
One of Robin's defining traits is her utter lack of fear regarding a situation as she usually maintains a positive and even cheerful demeanor. She has only shown fear in very few cases and always involving an extremely dangerous threat directly falling on her, like during the Buster Call at Enies Lobby, when the Warlords Crocodile and Kuma tried to kill her (Kuma in reality just attempting to save her), and when the Admirals Aokiji and Kizaru appeared in front of her. Also, unlike Nami, Robin rarely gets angry with any of the crew's antics or when they do something that puts them in danger, often expressing amusement towards such behavior. This was shown when Luffy told the crew he picked a fight with Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, which left most of the crew horrified whereas Robin simply smiled and laughed. An example of her voicing displeasure with one of her crewmates can be seen while the group is hiding out on Punk Hazard in which she reprimands Franky twice after he speaks and makes eccentric faces while trapped in Chopper's body. However, upon Trafalgar Law returning him and Chopper to their original bodies, Robin cheerfully expresses her joy in having the two switched back. Despite coming across as aloof and distant due to her reserved nature, Robin is actually caring and compassionate. This is shown when she saved Luffy, twice, from Crocodile's quicksand and gave him the antidote for the poison despite initially being enemies. Even so, after bringing Luffy back up, she left him in the care of Pell and told him that Luffy was responsible for returning Vivi to her country. During her childhood, Robin was bullied and an outcast by the residents of Ohara because of her Devil Fruit, though she bared no ill-will towards them. She did mess with the kids who picked on her, in a mischievous way. The experience she had the destruction of her home, as well as being betrayed by the people who saw her as a demon and attempting to turn her over for money left Robin to have a jaded view on people. While so, this made Robin become deceptive as well, using others to escape her past, including Baroque Works and even Crocodile. It was after spending her time with the Straw Hats when she took Saul's words at heart that she started to regain her kind nature. It can be said that Robin would never harm someone who has not done anything to her, as she did save Luffy before they became crewmates. She becomes very loyal and selfless through her character development, and she was willing to give herself up to protect her crew. Because of her tragic past of the Buster Call, Robin would warn people about the incoming ships even to her enemies. After Spandam accidentally invokes the Buster Call, while lamenting the Marines' incompetence over the radio, Robin went out her way to warn everyone on Enies Lobby, including the Marines and Cipher Pol agents, to evacuate. When Kyros was fighting Diamante, Robin vowed to protect Rebecca so Kyros could focus on fighting him. Also, she tried to protect an injured Law with her own body from an attack from Doflamingo. She even helps the residents of Zou to treat Zunesha's wounds.
Relationships
Crew
Summary
Before the Enies Lobby Arc, Robin often tried to distance herself from other people, even her allies, as she knew that she was bound to leave them sooner or later. Since her first bounty, Robin had constantly been betrayed by people she came to trust; they all turned on her for the sake of money. As a result, Robin took a jaded view on people and never really trusted anyone. Even before she joined, Robin was very intrigued of the activity and potential of the Straw Hat crew (possibly because their captain was one of the few people in the world with the middle initial D, just like the giant who saved her). Even while they were enemies, Robin never acted hostile or aggressive towards any of the crew. She even became withholding to her Baroque Works allies, never informing them of the identity of Sanji whom she identified at Whiskey Peak, which resulted in their escape at the Casino and saving Luffy from being buried in the desert after he was beaten by Crocodile at Rainbase. Upon first joining the Straw Hat Crew, she simply stated she had nowhere else to go, declaring that Luffy was responsible for her being alive when she had wished to die and therefore had to take responsibility for his own actions. She rarely called her comrades by name, and instead referred to them using their ship-hand titles, such as Miss Navigator (Kōkaishi-san, i.e., Nami), Mr. Swordsman (Kenshi-san, i.e., Zoro), Mr. Long Nose (Nagahana-kun, i.e., Usopp), etc. She at first only called Luffy and Crocodile by their names, although in a professional manner as an agent. She does, on occasion, call Luffy "sencho-san" (meaning captain). Over time, however, Robin becomes closer with her crewmates, and begins to develop a sense of belonging with them and has stated that she cares more about their well-being than that of the rest of the world. After seeing how far they will go in order to save her, she now calls them all by their names. During the assault on Enies Lobby, she realized she has finally found the friends that Saul said she would. She has also stated that, aside from saving her life, they were responsible for reviving her dream. After the timeskip, Robin feels confident about her place in the crew. When Nekomamushi said he was worried that people who wanted to read the Poneglyphs would come after her, Robin stated she had strong friends who would protect her.
Monkey D Luffy
She is grateful to Luffy for accepting her into his crew and is significantly more patient with his impulsive personality than many of her fellow crewmates, even laughing when he casually allows members to join, while the others are shocked (after all, it is through this she became a Straw Hat member). As Robin sailed and ventured with the crew longer, she started to become closer to and care for Luffy as well as the rest of the crew. She is also far more tolerant of Luffy's silliness, which at times even makes her laugh. This goes as far back as when they were enemies in the Arabasta Arc, when Luffy fought Crocodile as "Water Luffy", drinking an entire barrel of water and spraying it at Crocodile from his mouth to make him more solid. She seemed to have taken a liking to Luffy from their initial meeting aboard the Going Merry, where his bold personality intrigued her enough to want to meet him again. Luffy was the one person who was able to convince her that she should live even if the world does not want her to, and even if that were the case, the world is his and his crewmates' enemies as well. In many ways, Luffy reminds Robin of the other D. carrier she befriended. This could have also contributed to her initial interest in him, as she was aware of his full name at their first meeting and inquired about it further when she rescued him after his first fight with Crocodile. After she officially became a part of the crew, Robin was surprised by Luffy's connections to certain people such as Shanks, Monkey D. Garp, and Monkey D. Dragon. She remarked that he truly had an interesting story and was amused by it. Robin also seems to be very devoted to Luffy, as he is the only person whom she wants to get stronger for. This shows how great her dedication to her captain has become after being rescued from Enies Lobby. Upon learning of Ace's death, Robin was very shocked and became greatly concerned about Luffy's wellbeing. Like Zoro, she follows Luffy's decisions whatever the consequences, such as when he decided to form an alliance with Law to take on Emperor Kaidou. Another reason for her great loyalty to Luffy is that he is the very person who helped Robin find her will to live. Interestingly enough, Robin has started a habit of referring to people by the names Luffy calls them by despite her already knowing their true names. After the timeskip, Robin was amazed by Luffy's strength after seeing him defeat the Kraken and watching him use Supreme King Haki to subdue 50,000 fish-men. During the Dressrosa Arc, she impeded toy soldiers from chasing Luffy, as he was going to face Doflamingo. When she confronted Gladius, her faith in Luffy was put on full display when she stated that he was worth dying for because he is always the trump card that brought the crew to victory. Even though Nekomamushi warned her that many strong people would try to kidnap her in order to read the Poneglyphs, Robin seemed unconcerned and feels confident enough in her captain's capabilities. When she learned of Luffy's ultimate goal after becoming the Pirate King, she was stunned and then amused.
Roronoa Zoro
Robin and Zoro's relationship started out as quite unusual. Zoro was the one who held out the longest on trusting Robin and bluntly told her he did not when they were made to team up during the South Bird Hunt. However, she never tried to use any trickery to gain his trust and even divulged a bit of info about her past to him. In spite of him initially being wary of her, Zoro later on demonstrates that he cares for her as part of the crew, as he is willing to fight for her when she is in danger, such as catching her when she fell after being assaulted by Enel or blocking Hyouzou's attack on Fish-Man Island. Robin herself was willing to protect him from danger as well, such as catching him with her Spider Net after he was kicked extremely high into the air by Oars and stopping him from being killed by the water pressure when he wanted to exit the ship on the way towards Fish-Man Island. In Thriller Bark, she uses her powers to eavesdrop on Sanji's conversation with the Risky Brothers on the very matter, and like Sanji decides to keep the truth a secret from Luffy. After the timeskip, Robin is seen being impressed by Zoro's improved strength and skills on a few occasions. For example, she was surprised that the swordsman was not able to make short work of Pica in the Dressrosa Arc. When Viola tells her about Zoro's plan to stop Doflamingo's Birdcage over the Den Den Mushi, Robin is not surprised he would come up with such an idea, commenting “how very like him”. In the Zou Arc, Robin asks him if they should wait for Kin'emon and Kanjuro to catch up to them and she follows his decision when he decides they should go on ahead without the two samurai, showing that she trusts his judgment in Luffy's absence.
Nami
Robin is quite close to Nami and often spends time with her, particularly going shopping when they have free time, and talking with each other. When she first joined the crew, Nami initially distrusted her, but she was swayed by a bag of jewels that Robin stole from Crocodile. She sympathizes with Nami's frustrations at the male crew members' silly antics but does not get upset at them. Nami was one of the Straw Hat members most upset at Robin's capture at the hands of CP9 and worked tirelessly to get Robin back and embraced her tearfully with Chopper when they did. When confronting one of the Five Elders, Nami yelled to her crewmates to protect Robin from Saturn at all costs. Soon after Robin joined the crew, Nami began to view Robin much like a big sister and yet both of them have motherly instincts towards Chopper and Momonosuke.
Usopp
Usopp was naturally suspicious of Robin at first, due to her working for Baroque Works. When he asked what Robin specialized in and she replied "assassinations", Usopp was terrified and told Luffy that she was too dangerous. However, when he saw the fun aspect of Robin's Devil Fruit, he forgot his fear of her, and they got along well with each other. Robin does not typically respond to Usopp's acts of cowardice and more often than not will play it off like it never happened. In spite of this, Usopp cares about Robin's well-being and was in fact, the one who prevented her from being taken from Enies Lobby to Marineford under the guise of Sogeking and he was able to convince Robin to have faith in others and herself. It was after this incredible rescue that Robin ceased referring to him as "Nose-kun" and simply, "Usopp". After the timeskip, they are shown to get along much better and Usopp is far less unnerved by her making morbid remarks over the fate of missing crewmates. They work together in a more efficient manner. Many examples of this are seen during the Punk Hazard Arc, where Usopp unhesitatingly carried her and Luffy after they were immobilized by the sea. During the Dressrosa Arc, Robin put her faith in Usopp to save her from being a toy and was happy to see him come through and save her.
Sanji
Sanji constantly flirts with Robin, as he does with Nami. He was the first member (excluding Luffy) to accept her as one of the crew. Sanji describes her as 'a distant, more mature beauty than Nami', yet calls her "Robin-chan" (vs "Nami-san") which has a more childish aspect, despite the fact that she is older than him. He also refers to her as "Robin-chwan" at times, but Robin, unlike Nami, tolerates his advances and typically responds with politeness. When she was first taken into the crew, Robin did not even try to earn Sanji's trust, due to his obvious weakness for women. Sanji treats Robin slightly differently from Nami, knowing she is able to look after herself, but he does worry about her in battle and will still jump to her rescue when she is in danger (like when Gecko Moria stole her shadow). Even after Robin allegedly betrayed the crew, Sanji is the first to forgive Robin, even before learning why Robin did what she did, and pursued her without hesitation. Sanji did not forgive Wanze or Jabra for speaking ill of Robin and violently beat them both up for it. In Zou, Robin, like the rest of the crew, was concerned over Sanji's predicament with Big Mom. She also displayed knowledge of the Vinsmoke Family, but had no idea that Sanji was related to them. During the Raid on Onigashima, Robin answered Sanji's plea for help when he was captured by Black Maria, afterwards thanking him for relying on her. During her fight with Black Maria when the Tobiroppo member started insulting Sanji as a laughingstock for calling for her help, Robin simply said that Sanji is a kind-hearted person and him relying on her means so much to her, even saying he is worthy enough to be called one of the "wings" of the Pirate King.
Tony Tony Chopper
Her relationship with Chopper exists on two levels. First, on a somewhat maternal level, as she finds him a "cute little furball", as she acts quite motherly towards Chopper—in contrast with Nami's tougher grip. Secondly, on an intellectual level, where she treats Chopper somewhat like an equal due to their mutual intellectual pursuits and love of books. Her fondness for Chopper appears to have increased after the timeskip, as after the battle in the Fish-Man Island Arc, when Chopper exhausts himself greatly from using his Monster Point, Robin happily rests him on her lap as he begins to fall. Robin will also use her Devil Fruit power to play with him, such as tickling him or making him roll over. This affectionate treatment is not missed by Chopper as seen in the Davy Back Fight when Porche was getting too grabby with Chopper, so the doctor ran to Robin, and she kept him from the female pirate. Also, it is shown in the Punk Hazard Arc, when Law put Franky into Chopper's body, she was shown to be greatly displeased as Franky made very lewd faces and spoke while in Chopper's body, which she told him never to do either action ever.
Franky
Robin gets along well with Franky. They have a unique bond, because he is the first character outside of the Straw Hats who was willing to fight for her life (during Enies Lobby). Since then, Robin and Franky have been a compatible duo in numerous occasions and battles, such as on Enies Lobby, Thriller Bark, and Punk Hazard, as well as in non-canon moments in movies and specials. One example is their working together to bring down and seriously injure Spandam as both of them saw him as a mutual enemy due to the torture he previously subjected them to. She has a lot in common with him since both were wanted by the World Government's Cipher Pol when they were children despite being innocent and they both saw their loved ones destroyed by the World Government in front of them. The two of them have shared a heartwarming philosophical connection over the evil (or lack of evil) present in a dangerous item or person existing. Franky's staunch devotion to the words of his master, that simply existing is not a crime, and no matter what, someone (or something) must be proud of its existence, moved Robin as she considered the morality of her own existence while being capable of awakening the Ancient Weapons. Franky is the one who could relate to her the most for the fact that she was hunted because she exists, he was also chased by government. Even if Franky got to know the real Robin only shortly in Enies Lobby, he says that he did not expect her to be this kind and he cannot really trust everything they say about her. He also tells Robin to cheer up since she has friends out there who are willing to risk their lives to save her. He demonstrates the fact that even if Robin indeed holds the most dangerous ability in the world, as long as she does not fall into the hands of the government and she is not willing to use her power to destroy the world, she is not dangerous by burning the blueprints and betting on the Straw Hats that they will save Robin. Franky got the chance to escape from being targeted by the government again if he hands Robin over, but Franky refuses the offer. After being questioned why he is saving someone like this when he is not even a pirate, Franky responds that he is not only moved by the Straw Hats fight for Robin, but it has subsequently given him the chance to take his long overdue revenge against Spandam. When the crew tries to persuade Franky to join them, Robin offers to lend them a hand (literally). When Franky is crying too much, Luffy tells Robin to stop, but they are shocked to see that Robin is not doing anything anymore and she is smiling instead. Robin then says that Franky is truly a clever guy, blaming the pain on her. Franky called her "our beautiful historian" during their first meeting after two years. There is an ongoing gag that Nami and Robin are completely numb to the "romance" of Franky's robotic creations and body (while Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp are left in awe). Ironically, they were also the only crewmembers that were initially enemies of the Straw Hats. They were both eventually won over by the crew's antics and seeing how far they're willing to go to protect their own. Despite all of this, Franky also holds the distinction of being one of two crew members capable of annoying her (to the point where she expresses it openly) along with Brook. While she is amused by the rest of the crew's antics and occasionally participates, she outright rejected participating in "docking" mode in the Thriller Bark Arc saying it was too embarrassing. Furthermore, when the crew's hearts were scrambled in the Punk Hazard Arc, she expressed her disgust at Franky's facial expressions and speech while in Chopper's body. After they were switched back, she voiced her relief most fervently, saying she hopes it never happens again. Franky on the other hand has shown occasional dislike towards the morbid remarks that Robin often makes towards missing crewmates, such as when the rest of the crew were searching for Nami, Usopp, and Chopper on Thriller Bark. Despite all that, Robin seems to have a close relationship with Franky, since she does not mind him sleeping on her lap. In Onigashima, Franky invited Robin to ride with him on the Kurosai FR-U IV, which she happily accepted before Brook took her seat. Furthermore, in the cover page of Chapter 987, she is shown with her hand on Franky's cheek, while he seems pleased by the attention, showing how comfortable they are with each other.
Brook
She stood emotionless when she first met him and, similarly to how she responds to Sanji's advances, she does nothing when Brook asks to see her panties. Robin did find him annoying when Brook was cracking jokes instead of telling them how to stop zombies and had difficulty stopping Franky from hurting him. Nonetheless, she developed respect for him after hearing his wish to reunite with Laboon and was grateful to him for saving her and Franky from zombies. Robin was amused by Brook's easy entry in the crew, since it was just like her own entry. They are on comfortable, friendly terms with each other. She also seems to hold Brook to high standards as the oldest member of the crew beside her and Franky and finds it slightly annoying when he does not act his age. With that said, however, she is still very fond of Brook, especially his music. After the timeskip, they still get along with each other and on Punk Hazard, Brook saved Robin and her group from freezing in the river by Brownbeard and his crew. During the raid on Onigashima, Robin paired up with Brook as they went to save Sanji from Black Maria. During which, they proved to be an effective team, working flawless with one another well displaying a great deal of trust and confidence in each other's abilities. Brook trusted Robin enough to let her fight Black Maria, one of the Tobiroppo, by herself. After Black Maria's defeat, Brook successfully protected Robin from getting captured by CP0. Robin and Brook share a bond as members who lost everyone they loved and spent decades alone until they joined the Straw Hat Pirates.
Jinbe
Robin was concerned about Jinbe when he and Luffy were violently arguing over how to stop the New Fish-Man Pirates' rebellion. She interferes during their confrontation, insisting that they should not fight. She consents to Jinbe's request to liberate the human pirates enslaved by the New Fish-Man Pirates but does question if they will hold a grudge against fish-men in general for their mistreatment. Robin muses he must really want to join their crew after Jinbe requests to be given time to conclude his affairs before becoming their crewmate. At Wano, she was more than pleased to see him again and was happy when he became the official helmsman. In Onigashima, Robin decided to walk with Jinbe, saying his maturity was a relief.
Friends
Clou D Clover
Professor Clover allowed Robin to become an archaeologist after she passed her test; it was his research on Poneglyphs that sparked her interest in the True History. Clover allowed her to read books in his library which sparked her interest in them. She was supported by the other archaeologists in the Tree of Knowledge. They were her only friends and they cared for her more than anything. Even when they threatened to ban her from the Tree of Knowledge if she continued to spy on the efforts to uncover the True History, they did so in order to prevent her from being branded as a criminal.
Jaguar D Saul
Robin befriended Jaguar D. Saul when she was a child after he washed ashore, and he holds a special place in Robin's heart for befriending her during her periods of loneliness, recognizing her pain and encouraging her to laugh in hard times, in addition to sacrificing himself in order to save her life. After promising Olvia that he would ensure Robin's safety, Saul was confronted by Vice Admiral Kuzan as he was destroying the Buster Call ships. As he was being frozen, Saul assured Robin that if she kept living, she'll one day find friends who will protect her because no one is born in the world to be alone. When Robin later learned from Shaka that Saul was still alive and in hiding, she was brought to tears by this revelation. While on their way to Elbaph following their departure from Egghead, Robin was happy for her upcoming reunion with Saul, even asking Brook to cut her hair to look like when she was a child in hope Saul would remember her. After 22 years apart, they ardently hugged each other with tears of joy streaming down their faces.
Revolutionary Army
The first members of the Revolutionary Army that Robin met (to her knowledge) were the ones liberating the slaves at Tequila Wolf. She was surprised to learn that she was referred to as the "Light of the Revolution" by them and that they had been searching for her for 10 years under the orders of none other than Dragon himself. They offered to take her to Dragon, but she declined at first, saying that she had a crew. After she read Luffy's message in the newspaper, she decided to go with them to Dragon. She joked that she wished they would have come for her sooner (which they thought she was serious at first and apologized), but she said that she's glad about the way things turned out. She refused to go inside the ship, saying that she did not want to go anywhere where she could not escape. The Revolutionaries accommodated her by bringing blankets, drinks, food, a sofa, and a wind protector for her. After the two-year timeskip, she returned to Sabaody Archipelago alone but escaping some people. When she reunited with her crew, she listened to Franky explaining how Bartholomew Kuma was working undercover for the revolutionaries all along and that he actually saved the crew and protected their ship for two years. Although not saying anything about the matter, she did ponder about Kuma's fate due to learning during the timeskip that he was once a Revolutionary himself and likely learned more about him from Dragon and Sabo. It's currently unknown what her relationship with Dragon is as of right now. It is also revealed that during the timeskip, Robin had gotten to know Koala, Sabo, and Hack, introducing them to her fellow crewmate Usopp. Robin shows she is aware that Sabo is Luffy’s brother and heard his story of how they were separated. She also agreed to watch over Luffy after Sabo asked the crew. During the Zou Arc, Dragon asks Koala about Robin as he and the other Revolutionaries were worried due to rumors that Robin had been captured on Sabaody Archipelago and was relieved to hear the rumors where false, showing that Dragon at least cares about Robin's well-being.
Toko
The two first met at Sanji's soba noodle stand and Robin immediately took a liking to the young kamuro, even laughing at her joke. The next time they crossed paths was during Orochi's banquet. When Toko becomes targeted by the Shogun after laughing at him, Robin dropped her mission to protect her. Later on, in Rasetsu Town, Robin was greatly alarmed when she saw the girl appearing at the execution site and putting herself in harm's way. Following the escape to Amigasa Village, Robin is mostly seen at her side, holding her as she sleeps and also being with her when she visited her father's grave.
Former Enemies
Nefertari Vivi
During her time in Baroque Works, Robin was the enemy of those trying to save the kingdom from Crocodile's conspiracy, especially Nefertari Vivi, who believed that she had killed Igaram, and the Straw Hats. As a result, most of the Straw Hat Crew were suspicious about her joining, until she won them over. Upon discovering that Robin joined the crew, Cobra was worried of Vivi's reaction, however Vivi trusted that Luffy has some reason for having her in his crew and seemed to not hold any grudge against Robin.
Iceburg
Several other civilians hate her, fearing her ability to awaken Pluton. Iceburg is one such example, as he states that while he would prefer to burn Pluton's blueprints, he must guard them in case the World Government uses her to revive the weapon. However, his opinion of her changes after he realizes that she is willing to turn herself in to save her friends, finally admitting that she is a good person. Franky feels similarly about her at first, but after learning of her being forced to turn herself in to save her friends, he immediately sympathizes with her due to his sentimental nature.
Kuzan
While Robin fears the three admirals for their reputation of being the most powerful fighters of the Marines, she fears Aokiji the most, for they had a personal encounter 20 years ago. Aokiji stated that he was not her friend, and he would hunt her down if she became a problem. However, he had allowed her to live due to the wish of his good friend, Jaguar D. Saul, who also happened to be Robin's friend. After the war within Enies Lobby, Aokiji had seemed to have formed a somewhat benign relationship with Robin, stating "Ohara still lives".
Vegapunk
Robin, being an enemy and threat to the World Government, naturally viewed their lead scientist and genius, Dr. Vegapunk as a threat by association, though she has showed interest in him due to his knowledge and achievements. When the Straw Hats reached the island of Egghead, they were rescued by Lilith, a girl claiming to be Dr. Vegapunk, with Robin skeptical about her claims due to all the stories of Vegapunk being an elderly man who has worked with the government for years. After being told that she is in fact Vegapunk and that the man she was referring to split himself in six people called satellites, Robin and the rest of the Straw Hats were taken to the main lab, where they eventually met Shaka, another of Vegapunk's satellites. When meeting Shaka, Robin was cautious and visibly upset about the questions he was asking regarding the validity of Ohara's research and how it connected to the possible existence of an advanced kingdom during the Void Century, at least until he revealed that the cause of Ohara's destruction 22 years ago was due to them learning about this kingdom and the World Government's attempts to wipe all trace of its existence. He tells the Straw Hats the story of this great kingdom that existed during the Void Century, and he then later stated that the World Government issued the Buster Call simply to destroy Ohara and eliminate anyone who knew of this kingdom's existence and then stated that he secretly visited what was left of the island after its destruction, as he once a friend of Professor Clover and wanted to pay his respects. As he is telling them this, Robin questions why he would reveal this to them knowing he would potentially die if he did and then questions if he is actually with the World Government or not. Robin questions where he's getting his facts from and states that Ohara's research and books were destroyed. He then revealed the details of what happened during his visit, how Dragon was there as well to pay respects to Clover and was so moved by what happened on Ohara that he formed the Revolutionary Army afterwards and how he discovered that the scholars had successfully sacrificed themselves to rescue and prevent the destruction of the books, which brought Robin to tears. After hearing this, Robin confirmed Shaka's previous theory about the great kingdom and asked what happened to the books. Shaka went on to state that the same day he visited, a group of Giants from Elbaph came to collect the books alongside a heavily bandaged Giant, who Robin realizes was actually Saul. After hearing all of this, Robin tearfully thanks Shaka for keeping Ohara's will alive.
Enemies
Yama
While investigating the ruins of Upper Yard, she was interrupted by Yama. His fighting style destroyed the land around him, and when she yelled at him to stop, he disregarded the importance of the ruins. Robin, infuriated by his disregard of history, drew him away from the ruins, taking a few hits in the process. Once in open terrain, she proceeded to go all out, employing rather painful methods such as slamming Yama into a tree and flipping his Ten-Fold Axe to hit him. After this beating, Yama begged and apologized to Robin, saying that he now understood the value of history. Robin ignored his plea, stating that what he did was still inexcusable. Then, when Yama tried to grab Robin, she broke his fingers with her extra arms and used Cien Fleur: Delphinium to hurl the commander off a cliff and down to a lower level of Upper Yard, then held him in a lock position increasing the potential impact, while using "Seis Fleur: Clutch" to snap him before he crashes into the ground. After Enel was deposed, it is unknown what happened to Yama.
World Government
Robin's greatest threat is always from the World Government, since, from the age of eight, they have ruthlessly hunted her. Wherever she went she was unable to find happiness and was constantly thrown out. Also, when the people she stayed with found out they were now the targets of the World Government, the group would turn on her, with the exception of Crocodile who agreed to protect her. To this end, Robin's claim is that her greatest enemy is the world itself. The persistence of the World Government and their view on her being a threat would not cease even after two years had passed, as during the Raid on Onigashima, the World Government sent numerous ships out to Wano, intending to place Wano under the control of the World Government, but secretly having a second order for its agents arriving there with the capture of Robin, still seeing her as a threat. This order was later seen being put into action, when some CP0 agents chased Robin and Brook in the castle, with Robin wondering why the CP0 was in Wano and her being unaware of her being still a thorn in the eye of the Government. In the end, Robin successfully escaped from CP0's grasps with the help from Brook.
Crocodile
Aside from the World Government, Robin has made many enemies in the past through her constant betrayal, the most dangerous of which is Crocodile. Crocodile's connection to Robin was a strictly business-related one; he did not consider her a friend, but only as a tool for his own ambitions. Although sheltering her from the authorities in exchange for her services, he never once showed her compassion; she was just expected to follow orders. He held no pity for her when she failed to deliver Pluton and did not think twice about striking her, although he did admit she had been a beneficial partner to him moments beforehand.
Spandam And Spandine
Two of Robin's greatest enemies are former CP9 director, Spandine, and his son, Spandam, both of whom considered her a "devil". They activated the Buster Call in attempts to kill those dear to Robin (the citizens of Ohara and the Straw Hat Pirates, respectively, though the latter was triggered accidentally). Robin herself was the victim of their abuse of authority, suffering physical, verbal and emotional abuse from Spandam, until Franky freed her. Consequently, Robin took her revenge by seriously injuring Spandam when the opportunity arose (namely, Seis Fleur Slapping him silly and, in the end, breaking his spine).
Black Maria
Robin first confronted the violent and sadistic Black Maria when Sanji called her for help and proceeded to fight with her. Black Maria posed a serious threat to Robin, but Robin was prepared. Ropin initially had a hard time with her opponent's drug altered spider Devil Fruit abilities between its super strong webbing, venom tipped legs and fire-breathing spider face. Black Maria took advantage of Robin being trapped by the raging fire and launched a barrage of attacks at Robin, while taunting her and claiming that she was a liability. However, Robin ignored the Toppriopo's insults, saw through the Illusion Mist claiming she was used to past trauma and let out all her rage on Black Maria for hurting Sanji. Robin then used the technique she learned from her friend in the Revolutionary Army to get the upper hand then created a demonic representation of herself to break Black Maria's back and knock her out.
Five Elders
As the last surviving member of the Ohara who has the ability to learn about the events of the Void Century, the Five Elders have always made it their priority to have her disposed of due to her forbidden knowledge. Even when she was only a child, they gave her a high bounty of 79,000,000 berries to get the whole world turn on her and spread lies of what she did so that they could mark this false idea of how dangerous she is, so that they could get her captured. Even to this day, the Five Elders still wants her to be brought to justice as one of the orders they gave to CP0 who is at Wano during the Raid on Onigashima, was to have her captured. Robin, in turn, has a deep-seated fear of them because she knows they were the one responsible for initiating the Buster Call that destroyed her home and took everything away from her. During the Egghead Incident, when she met one of the Five Elders for the first time, she was shown feeling fear for the first time during the timeskip, something she has not shown since she met Aokiji during the Long Ring Long Land Arc, further showcasing the trauma the Five Elders has on her. Jaygarcia Saturn tries to kill her, but was guarding by her fellow crewmates.
Family
Nico Olvia
Nico Olvia was Robin's mother and although the two went for many years without seeing each other, her mother still loved her deeply. She was proud of her daughter and considered her amazing for being able to read Poneglyphs at an extremely young age. Her only regret was she was unable to spend time with her daughter and all Robin ever wanted was to see her again and be with her. After the truth was spoken to the World Government by Clover, Olvia was confronted by Robin as she was being taken away and finally, after Robin's pleas, she admitted her relationship with her. As the Buster Call was about to begin, Spandine ordered that she be taken with them, but panicked after being almost directly hit by an explosion and ran off. Nico Olvia was left behind and was finally reunited with her daughter. She hugged her and remarked that she was very proud of her. She then pleaded to Saul to take Robin to safety and told Robin to continue to live, to hand down the history to others, and to live her life to the fullest.
Roji
After her husband died, Olvia set out on a six-year journey to research the Poneglyph along with thirty-three other archaeologists. Although she found it regrettable that she had to leave Robin, it was something she felt she had to do: she left Robin in her brother, in his wife's, Roji's care. Roji was Robin's aunt, via marriage to Olvia's brother. She disliked Robin and mistreated her from the very moment she walked into her house and treated her like nothing short of a slave.
Other
Although they were related to her, Robin is never shown interacting with her uncle and cousin. Robin's uncle was seen defending her against his wife, but otherwise did little to help her or acknowledge her as a member of the family. Robin also had a father; however, she never knew him, and his name remains unknown. All family members (except Robin's father who died many years beforehand) are believed to have died at Ohara. The children of Ohara usually picked on Robin but are scared off by her Hana Hana no Mi powers, and the children as well as their parents would call her a monster for it.

Nico Robin/Abilities And Powers
Introduction
Overview
Summary
At a young age, Robin acquired a bounty of 79,000,000 for having the ability to read Poneglyphs, which told of the Void Century. Her ability to read the Poneglyphs is by far her most dangerous quality, and the World Government considers her a huge threat because of this. This has also made her a vital target for those who understand the significance of the Poneglyphs, mainly for those who want to gain control of the Ancient Weapons and/or the means to find Laugh Tale, including Crocodile of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Kaidou and Big Mom of the Four Emperors and the Five Elders of the World Government. She was branded as being considerably powerful, and supposedly sinking six Buster Call warships with her Devil Fruit powers. This was all a lie fabricated by the government: those ships were actually destroyed by Jaguar D. Saul while helping Robin escape the destruction of Ohara. Due to her having to spend her life on the run from multiple organizations, mostly the Marines and the World Government, Robin had developed into a strong and resourceful woman. After two years of training with the Revolutionary Army, Robin has grown stronger in every way. Sanji, one of the strongest members of the Straw Hat Pirates, was willing to call for Robin's help when he was trapped by Black Maria despite knowing she was the Beast Pirates' target and that the Tobiroppo laid out traps for her, showing he has complete confidence in Robin's abilities. His faith was proven to be well-placed when Robin defeated Black Maria. After the Raid on Onigashima, Robin's bounty was increased to 930,000,000, the fifth highest among the crew, making her one of the most dangerous members of the Straw Hat Pirates in the eyes of the World Government. Her bounty is also the fourth largest bounty given to a woman in history.
Vast Knowledge And Archaeological Skills
Summary
Robin is an exceptional archaeologist, with a vast knowledge of history and cultures. She was able to, for example, correctly deduct the identity of the St. Briss by merely examining the two-century old remains of one of its dead crewmen. As a child prodigy, she passed her archaeological exams at the age of 8 to become a certified scholar. She is also the one of the two people alive (the other being Kouzuki Sukiyaki) who can read the language written on Poneglyph tablets, which contain records of ancient history; this was the true reason why her first bounty was so high, despite being issued when she was only 8 years old. It is revealed that Robin taught herself most of these skills through researching in the library of Ohara, which she had done without the aid of her senior colleagues. This shows great aptitude in academics and research. Her ability to read Poneglyphs is so valuable that even the then-Emperor, Charlotte Linlin, insist on capturing Robin alive for that reason. Outside of historic knowledge, Robin also possesses considerable knowledge of most of the major figures in the world and has at least heard of such individuals and groups as Red-Haired Shanks, Dragon, Gecko Moria, and the Vinsmoke Family. She is even aware of top-secret organizations, including the World Government's various Cipher Pol units (such as 9 and 0). For this reason, she is the main person Luffy turns to when he wants an explanation of new information. In her travels, Robin has learned the location of two of the Ancient Weapons, Pluton and Poseidon.
Escape Artist
Robin's life on the run since the tender age of 8 has taught her the ways of survival and self-preservation and has earned herself notoriety for being able to evade inescapable situations. Even Admiral Aokiji commented that she could have escaped from CP9 had she felt like it (she only abided by their rules and conditions in order to keep them from unleashing the Buster Call upon her crewmates). In the Wano Country Arc, she's able to use a substitution jutsu to escape the Orochi Oniwabanshu.
Physical Abilities
Summary
While not at the same superhuman level as Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Jinbe, Robin has exceptional physical prowess, due to spending her entire childhood to her young adult life constantly on the run from various enemies, such as the Marines and the World Government. Because of her harsh experiences, Robin became physically strong and extremely agile. She has also fought without the use of her Devil Fruit powers, easily defeating Nefertari Vivi with a single strike to the midsection. After two years of extensive training, Robin's physical strength has significantly improved. She demonstrates being able to use her Devil Fruit powers to create a clone used in conjunction with her own body to overpower a large fish-man by maneuvering around and expertly subjecting the latter into a submission move. Her body has incredible tenacity, as she was seen being able to take on direct hits from both Yama's drop kicks and punches (with the latter sending her flying through a wall, destroying it) and was still able to effectively retaliate after maneuvering the latter away from the ruins of Skypiea, and was able to restrain a powerful zombie like Jigoro (albeit briefly). She was also able to survive being impaled through the chest by Crocodile and remain alive without medical attention from a doctor, until the wound healed on its own. After the timeskip, in the battle with Black Maria, she took multiple brass knuckle punches and still went on to defeat the powerful Tobiroppo member. She is agile enough to quickly maneuver (while maintaining her arms' "X" formation) her way through a group of Marine captains and commanders before using her powers in retaliation. Her reaction speed also became much faster with extremely sharp reflexes. Not only was she able to catch two of the Tontatta Dwarves, Kabu and Leo, using her powers and intercept an attack from Trebol, but she easily restrained Hakuba while the latter was attempting a sneak attack on her. This is an incredible feat, as the serial killer was so fast that fighters of the caliber of the Corrida Colosseum competitors and even Dellinger could not follow him with their eyes. She was also able to repeatedly dodge attacks from Black Maria. One of her most impressive aspects is her incredible recovery rate. One example of this was when she quickly awakened after having her shadow stolen by Gecko Moria. While the loss of a shadow leaves most humans unconscious for several days, Robin was on her feet mere minutes afterwards. Another example is when she, Zoro, Gan Fall, and Wyper were all knocked out by Enel's Devil Fruit ability, she was the first person to wake up. Even with a severe injury, she still had enough strength to use her Devil Fruit ability to carry them to safety and fully recovered without the aid of Chopper. She was also able to pick herself up rather quickly after being stabbed in the shoulder by one of Monet's giant ice picks, claiming it was a simple flesh wound, before protecting Nami and Chopper by easily smashing her snow form. She recovered quickly yet again after being injured by some of the spiked metal balls from Diamante's Death Enjambre, an injury she had kept hidden until after the battle between Diamante and Kyros had come to an end. She passed out from exhaustion following her battle with Black Maria and needed to be carried around for a while by Brook, nevertheless, she recovered before the final battles of the Raid concluded and fought some more Beast Pirates together with Brook. Her stamina is also high, as proven by her ability to engage in battle with giant nutcracker dolls, a Donquixote Family Executive and run up a cliff using legs created by her Devil Fruit much like the steps of a stair (a feat that also demanded considerable agility and strength, as she felt the individual strain of each leg) without pause or breaking a sweat.
Fishman Karate
During the two-year timeskip, Robin was taught Fish-Man Karate fundamentals in the context of palm strikes by Koala of the Revolutionary Army. Since then, Robin has learned how to incorporate the effects of Fish-Man Karate into her usual fighting style of sprouted limbs, allowing her to break structures with ease through precise palm strikes.
Devil Fruit
Summary
Robin ate the Hana Hana no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to sprout duplicates of any of her body parts from any surface within range. She can sprout her duplicate body parts from her own body, inanimate surfaces, and even from other people's bodies. She can even sprout duplicate body parts on top of other duplicate body parts. She maintains full control of her duplicated limbs and can perceive sights and sounds remotely through duplicate eyes and ears. The number of duplicates she can create appears to be unlimited, so long as they are within range. Usually, when she uses her powers, she crosses her arms and makes an "X" shape across her chest, though it's shown that she does not necessarily need to do so to use her abilities. By sprouting multiple arms from her opponents' bodies, she can use her power to disarm her opponents, as well as put them into painful submission holds and even snap their bones almost effortlessly. She can also use this application of her power to twist and flip her opponents. Her power is excellent for fighting a large number of enemies at once. Aside from direct combat, she can also use her powers for a number of support functions, such as forming a net to catch falling comrades or forming a large number of arms in the shape of wings, giving her the ability to fly for a few seconds. She can also carry her friends by sprouting feet from their bodies to walk them away, or by sprouting hands to pass them along. Robin can create entire clones of herself and even sprout gigantic-sized limbs. Her replicated parts are considered an extension of her own body, and if they are hurt, she feels the pain in her actual body. Similarly, Devil Fruit abilities that require contact with a person's body will take effect when used on her extended limbs, as evidenced by Sugar turning Robin into a toy by touching Robin's replicated arms.
Weapons
Summary
She carried a dagger on her belt but did not use it in combat, as she fights unarmed using only her powers. She only used it once in an attempt to kill Crocodile in self-defense. When Robin teamed up with CP9 during their raid on Iceburg's mansion, she carried several flintlock pistols as well, wielding all of them at the same time with her Hana Hana no Mi powers. In Film Z, Robin wielded both a rifle and a rapier during the final battle.
Tactical Skills
Summary
Robin is a brilliant strategist due to her genius intellect: she is extremely skilled in using cunning deception and trickery to gain a strategic advantage over enemies who are more powerful than herself. In Thriller Bark, she is able to exploit the zombies' complete obedience to their masters, tricking Hogback into giving orders to the two zombies with Zoro and Sanji's shadows into jumping off the Thriller Bark mansion, effectively luring them away from Hogback without using physical force. Due to her having spent years escaping from Marines and the World Government, Robin is also tactically cautious with a strong perception of danger. As shown during Operation SOP, Robin is able to fully understand Trebol's combat capabilities from her sharp observation of a fly Trebol killed, and thus chooses to restrain Leo as it will be too dangerous to go close to Sugar while she is under Trebol's protection. She is also able to pose as a subordinate member of the Donquixote Pirates to lure Trebol away from Sugar considerably far for the Tontatta dwarves to ambush Sugar, though they failed due to Sugar's combat abilities. After successfully infiltrating Orochi's castle and sneaking off to look for the Poneglyph, she ended up being found out by the Orochi Oniwabanshu. When the group's leader, Fukurokuju, gives Robin only one chance to explain herself, she shrewdly thinks to tell them that she's Ushimitsu Kozo to protect the real identities of herself and her crew. Due to Ushimitsu Kozo already making an earlier appearance in town, the ninjas see through her lie and try to capture her, only for it to be revealed that it was one of Robin's body doubles she was using as a precaution in case she got caught. She escaped back to the banquet and hid herself from the pursuing ninjas by blending into the crowd. It was working until Komurasaki's young kamuro Toko, the girl Robin got acquainted with at Sanji's soba noodle stand, got into trouble when she laughed at the Shogun because of the other guests mocking him, forcing Robin to drop her mission and protect her instead.
Miscellaneous Skills
Summary
Robin is not afraid to use violence as a solution to a problem or for defense, and often incapacitates her enemies by breaking their necks or backs (even when they cry out for mercy). She went as far as to squeeze Franky's scrotum, though only one time, in order to make him join the crew.
Spying And Espionage
She also has the habit of spying on others (i.e., listening in on conversations, reading body language and facial expressions). This is shown when she spies on Sanji's conversation with the Risky Brothers at Thriller Bark, and reading the Straw Hats' expressions when she first wanted to join the crew. At Water 7, she admits to Chopper that these habits are from her childhood. Her Devil Fruit ability allows her to spy extremely effectively by sprouting her eyes or ears from walls at distant locations. Part of her mission while working undercover in Wano as a geisha was to spy on the movements of Orochi's army, a role she met quite satisfactorily with little to no risk for herself by cleverly exploiting her full cloning powers to create decoys and proxies of herself. Despite not being in Orochi's palace for very long, she was able to acquire a large amount of information. Robin can disguise as another person. She was trusted by her crew to infiltrate Orochi's palace as a geisha. She was able to blend into the crowd, especially when she was in a place where no one knew about her true identity yet.
Sailing
She appears to have some skill with piloting the Mini Merry II, as she was seen controlling it on a Milky Road while on the way to Punk Hazard. She was also controlling the wheel with her Devil Fruit powers while she sat in the back seat of the vehicle.
Artistic Skill
She has some skill as an artist as she can draw a decent picture of the Flying Dutchman and the Kraken.
Hairdressing
Robin has some skill with haircutting since she and Usopp act as the crew's hairdressers.
Cooking
Robin also has some skills in cooking.
Dancer
Robin is an excellent dancer. In Film Z, her graceful dancing made her extremely popular and according to Usopp, it helped earn a large amount of money. In Wano Country, she began apprenticing as a Geisha in order to get close to the Shogun Kurozumi Orochi. She is a fast learner as within weeks, she became skilled enough to become one of the most popular geishas of the Flower Capital and was summoned alongside Komurasaki to perform at Orochi's banquet.
Other Skill
Though she has not yet displayed the ability to use Haki, Robin is fully aware of the power as she commented on Luffy knocking out half of Hody's men. She also has great knowledge about Haki, such as explaining the principles of Armament Haki to Franky when Luffy fought Caesar Clown.

Nico Robin/History
Introduction
Past
Life In Ohara
Nico Robin was born 30 years ago to Nico Olvia and an unnamed father on the island of Ohara, coming from a family of archaeologists. Her mother, Olvia, went out to sea to find the True History when Robin was 2 years old, leaving her in the care of Olvia's younger brother, Oran, and his wife, Roji. While Robin's father was never revealed, Olvia stated that she will honor her husband's dream, she then left to study the poneglyphs. Robin later wandered into the Tree of Knowledge and was allowed to read the books held within on Professor Clover's invitation. Roji both verbally and physically abused Robin over menial actions. Roji made it obvious time and time again that Robin was not wanted; she was expected to keep out of sight, and she was not allowed to participate in family celebrations like her cousin Mizuira's birthday. The powers of her Devil Fruit often freaked out or scared the other children, on top of that often she would overhear the conversations of parents telling their children to avoid her at all costs as well as other children calling her a demon. Her only friends were the scholars at "The Tree of Knowledge", with Professor Clover of the archaeology lab, a friend of her mother, trying to take care of her. At only eight years old, she aced an archaeology exam and was officially inducted as a scholar. However, when she announced that she, like her mother, wanted to find out the true, unrecorded history of the world, she was reproved by Clover who told her she will get banned from the library if she continued to spy on the other scholars. Robin ran off crying and headed to the northwest beach of Ohara, where she met the giant, Jaguar D. Saul, who was washed up on shore. The two became friends and Robin continued to visit him for the following four days, while he built his raft. After Saul found out he was on Ohara and figured out that Robin was Olvia's daughter, he informed Robin about the battleships that were on their way to destroy Ohara due to the scholars studying the Poneglyph. Nico Olvia had recently escaped off a Marine ship and returned to Ohara (due to Saul's efforts). She informed the archaeologists that her colleagues had been killed by the marines. She told them that the Marines were able to infer that Ohara was their homeland based on the items they possessed on the ship, and they were headed towards Ohara, likely to kill them. The archaeologists, however, refused to leave; they wished to continue to protect the tree and the knowledge they had worked so hard to research and procure. When Olvia was warned that CP9 was on shore, she rushed out of the Tree of Knowledge, running past her daughter without notice. Robin arrived at the Tree of Knowledge, and asked Clover about her mother's whereabouts. As a wanted woman, Olvia wished to cut all ties with her daughter, so that Robin might not be associated with a criminal mother. Doing as Olvia wanted, Clover denied that Robin's mother was on the island, but Robin seemed skeptical. Clover quickly changed the topic and urged Robin to leave, and not to mention that she is an archaeologist, or she might be arrested too. Robin refused and CP9 bust into the Tree of Knowledge and began searching for the Poneglyphs. Outside, agents warned the island's residents to move to the evacuation boat or be destroyed. Olvia confronted Spandine, the director of CP9 at the time, but was quickly subdued by the brute force of his agents. Back at the Tree of Knowledge, all of the archaeologists were arrested and taken outside the tree, and once again Clover urged Robin to escape, but she refused once again. Spandine and the rest of CP9 arrived with a gravely wounded Olvia, who instantly recognized her daughter once her name is spoken. CP9 found the Poneglyph in the basement of the tree, and Spandine sentenced the archaeologists to death by Buster Call. However, Clover began to speak out, talking to the Five Elders via Spandine's Den Den Mushi, stating his theory on why the government really wanted to keep the Void Century a secret. However, before Clover could reveal the name of the civilization that he spoke of, he was shot point blank and mortally wounded. As the attack on Ohara began, it was discovered that Robin also had the capacity to read Poneglyphs. As the bombardment began, Spandine and CP9 made their exit, Robin and Olvia reunited, and shortly afterwards, Saul arrived. Olvia asked Saul to make sure that her daughter was taken safely off the island, and told Robin that she must continue to live. Robin begged to stay with her mother, but Olvia insisted on staying, as there was something more that she had to do. Saul followed Olvia's wish and managed to reach the island's shore. But the Marine ships spotted him and opened fire. Seeing as he was carrying Robin, Saul put her down and retaliated in anger for almost hurting Robin, and destroyed several ships. Robin tried to make for the evacuation ship but trying to use her Hana Hana abilities to get aboard frightened the people on board, plus Spandine told them not to let her on since she says she is an archaeologist, so she walked away crying, to later see Saul being attacked by Vice Admiral Kuzan. She was shocked to see the destruction of the evacuation ship being destroyed by another vice admiral, Sakazuki, who did so as a precaution in case any archaeologists had snuck aboard. Saul tried to get away with Robin but he was frozen by Kuzan's ice power. Before being completely encased, Saul encouraged Robin to escape and that her friends were out in the ocean waiting for her. Robin ran to the raft that Saul built, only to be met by Kuzan. He told her that he was letting Robin go, since he was curious as to why Saul risked his life for her. However, Kuzan warned her that he will be the first to come after Robin if she tried anything. Robin then left on a boat guided by an ice path Kuzan set for her. Remembering Saul's words, she tried to laugh but wept as Ohara was burned to the ground, which left her as the only survivor. Robin was found by a ship heading northwest of West Blue and when she boarded it, somehow her bounty picture was taken. Spandine angrily explained to Sengoku that he tried to follow her, but his ship was caught on ice. For the World Government to capture her, he suggested putting a bounty on her head, and sent Marines and agents to hunt her down, spreading the lie that she sank six ships to cover up the truth.
Life On The Run
The World Government labeled her the Demon of Ohara, they lied to the public that the scholars in Ohara were trying to find the Ancient Weapons to destroy the world, which was not what the scholars were trying to do. Out of paranoia of what would become of her, the World Government let word out that she posed a threat and soon the world was brainwashed into thinking that Robin was trying to destroy the world, and additionally framed Robin for destroying the Ohara evacuation ship. This negative gossip spread around the world, creating a half-truth myth. Terms like "devil woman" were born along with the belief that her very existence is a sin and considered her a terror. Robin's innocent life was ruined, and she grew up hating the Government for the crimes they committed against her. After that Robin was hunted by townsfolk aware of her high 79,000,000 bounty. Robin went to different people as the twenty years passed, all of whom tried to turn her in or kill her. Robin first encountered such attempts when she was taken in by an old farm lady, who she worked for, and thought was kind. One night, the old farm lady told Robin that before they could eat, she had visitors. The visitors turn out to be World Government agents attempting to kill her. The old farm lady was last seen yelling at the agents "Now give me the money! I turned her in for you" as she pulled the agents' clothes in anger. Next, Robin was then taken in by a couple, who she once again worked hard for. During the night, she overheard the people talking about turning Robin in, Robin then fled. After that, they angrily called Robin an unfortunate woman who betrayed their kindness. During this time Robin was forced to rummage through garbage for food while continually avoiding agents. At one point she contemplated throwing herself off a cliff but stopped after remembering what Saul and her mother told her. While walking through town Robin noticed Ohara was removed off books containing maps and scribbled it on, but she was caught by residents of the town and they chased off her yelling obscenities. She joined her first pirate crew at age 8. However, after the World Government caught up with her new crew, they assumed she had betrayed them. She fled before the pirates turned their anger against her. They even threw curses at her, calling her trouble. After that, Robin would often sit on a rock in pouring rain as a dog come to her begging for food. Robin apologized and said "dereshishi" for the last time. Robin then tried to help out in a shop, but the owner whacked her with a stick in anger, telling her that she was not allowed in. When she turned 16 years old, Robin joined an unknown organization, but it was not long before she betrayed the organization. At age 23, she somehow entered the Grand Line from the West Blue. Then at age 24, she traveled to Arabasta where she met with the Warlord of the Sea, Crocodile, who needed her ability to read Poneglyphs in order to locate the ancient weapon, Pluton, which is believed to be hidden somewhere in the country, and allowed her to join the Baroque Works organization, as the agent and vice-president codenamed "Miss All Sunday". While employed in the organization, she managed to stay on long-term, safely hiding away from the World Government for four years. Three and a half years ago, she read the news that Bartholomew Kuma had been chosen as the new Warlord of the Sea. She asked Crocodile if he was interested, but he brushed it off and asked if she had assassinated the witness of their rainmaking ship.
Arabasta Saga
Whisky Peak Arc
At Whisky Peak, Robin blew up Igaram's decoy ship, though Igaram survived, which apparently was her intention. She met the Straw Hat Pirates and, after cryptically playing with them for a bit, offered them an Eternal Pose to Nanimonai Island. Luffy broke it instead, saying that he would not allow her to decide their destination. Princess Vivi revealed that it was Miss All Sunday who allowed her to discover the identity of Baroque Works' president, Crocodile.
Arabasta Arc
Miss All Sunday made the necessary arrangements in order to organize the meeting between the remaining Officer Agents and the boss of the criminal organization Crocodile. Finally, the Officer Agents of the Baroque Works met up with Miss All Sunday and Crocodile in the basement of the Rain Dinners Casino, owned by Crocodile. They were told the goal of the Baroque Works, their final mission and their respective parts in overthrowing Arabasta. They were interrupted by Mr. 3, who told them that the Straw Hats and Vivi had escaped from him at Little Garden. He asked Crocodile for forgiveness but was fed to his pet Bananawani instead. The Officer Agents all got pictures of Vivi and the Straw Hat crew (excluding Sanji) with the help of Bon Kurei's abilities and were given the order to hunt them down (excluding Chopper as Crocodile believed he was the Straw Hats' pet). Later, Vivi was surrounded by Billions, but was saved by Pell, a guard of the king who flew to Rainbase after Karoo's arrival in order to scout. Pell however was defeated by Miss All-Sunday and Vivi was taken to the Rain Dinners basement. There, Crocodile told her his plan to overthrow Arabasta while it was being executed. Luffy, Nami, Usopp, Zoro, and Smoker all arrived at Rain Dinners, but they all were caught by a trap and thrown in a Seastone cage by Crocodile. Later in the desert, during a battle against Luffy, Crocodile created a sandstorm and sent it off to Yuba, where Toto was, and explained that he was the one who was sending storms there every day. Luffy yelled for him to stop it, but Crocodile impaled him with his hook during his distress then when he saw Luffy was still alive, he left him in quicksand to die. Luckily, Luffy was saved by Miss All-Sunday after Crocodile's departure and left Luffy in the hands of Pell, telling Pell that Luffy was responsible for the safe return of Vivi. After the Baroque Works' Officer Agents are defeated at the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates, Vivi arrived at the palace. The war had already started. Vivi ordered the Royal Army to blow up the palace in order to get everyone's attention but was stopped by Crocodile. The army, realizing what was happening, tried to enter the palace but they were stopped by Miss All-Sunday. Koza also arrived at the scene, intending to demand Cobra's surrender, only to find out the truth of the situation. Crocodile revealed that he is going to blow up the palace plaza, soon to be center point of battle, with a massive and powerful bomb. He also revealed his true intentions: to find the location of the secret ancient weapon Pluton, which is said to be buried in Arabasta. Koza wanted to warn the city but was stopped by Vivi, who stated that it would create a panic. The Royal Army raised the white flag, with Koza in front, but he was shot down by a double agent in the Royal Army, provoking the rebels. A battle started on the palace plaza and Vivi watched in horror. Crocodile proceeded to throw Vivi off the palace wall, but she was saved by Luffy who came in flying on Pell's back. Vivi met the rest of the Straw Hats on the foot of the wall and went to search for the bomb with them and Pell. Luffy challenged Crocodile for a second time but now he was aware that water is Crocodile's weakness. While the fight continued, Miss All Sunday took the nails painfully out of Cobra's body and cuffed him with her powers to force the King to the location of Pluton. Meanwhile, a furious Crocodile recovered and ordered his partner to quickly depart. Miss All-Sunday was confronted by Marines led by Tashigi. Having a more than personal enmity against Marines than other pirates, she yelled at them to get out of her way. Tashigi demanded she released Cobra, but Miss All Sunday was not going to take orders from those who directly took orders from the World Government. Tashigi is later informed by one of her men that Miss All-Sunday was originally known as "Nico Robin", who received a bounty of 79,000,000 as a child because she was believed to have been responsible for the sinking of six warships. Visibly angered, Miss All Sunday easily dispatched the Marine grunts, and defeated Tashigi with her Devil Fruit ability. Miss All-Sunday and King Cobra went in the hidden Grave of the Kings and found the Poneglyph. Crocodile soon arrived but did not get the information he wanted from the stone. He turned his back on Nico Robin and attacked her while she tried an assassination attempt of her own but failed. Robin later gave the antidote to the poison in Crocodile's golden hook to Cobra, since Luffy was poisoned by it during his battle with Crocodile. After Cobra used it to save Luffy, Luffy managed to awaken long enough to grab Robin and Cobra and carried them out before the grave caved in.
Sky Island Saga
Jaya Arc
Shortly after the Straw Hats' departure from Arabasta, Robin made herself known, having hid herself on board of the Going Merry before their departure. Claiming that she wanted to join the crew since Luffy saved her when she lost her will to live and he should take responsibility. Luffy accepted her offer to join the crew, but the rest (excluding Sanji) were suspicious of her. However, she managed to quickly win everyone's favor, except for Zoro, who remained wary of her. Nami's Log Pose began pointing to the sky, after that, a big ship fell from sky and the crew found a map in the ship of an island named 'Skypiea' on a 200-year-old ship. They competed with the monkey-like Masira's salvage crew while they searched for more clues on how to get there. The Straw Hats decided to go to Jaya island to look for information on Skypiea, while Robin herself decided to temporarily part from the crew and search for clues on her own. It was implied that she may have gotten into some kind of confrontation while gathering information and used her powers to end the scuffle. The Straw Hats met with Mont Blanc Cricket on another part of Jaya; Cricket is a descendant of Mont Blanc Noland, an infamous "liar" who told of a gold city on Jaya, and Cricket was outcast for looking for artifacts of the gold city. He might have been the only person who knows how to get to Skypiea. Cricket explained how the Straw Hats can ride a dangerous vertical current called the Knock-Up Stream to get to Skypiea. However, they first had to catch a South Bird to point them towards the location where the stream will erupt from the ocean. When Robin was able to catch sight of a South Bird, she was able to quickly subdue it using her Devil Fruit powers. While the Straw Hats were looking for a South Bird, Bellamy and his crew attacked Cricket's house, and stole the gold artifacts he'd collected over the years from his salvage work. When the Straw Hats returned and see what happened, Luffy decided to take a side trip back to Mock Town. The Going Merry was later refitted by Masira and Shoujou to be flight capable, and the Straw Hats caught a ride on the Knock-Up Stream for Skypiea.
Skypiea Arc
They started entering the Gate of Heaven. First, they were recommended by an old woman to pay their extol, but even though they do not pay the old woman let them pass. As they were carried by a sky shrimp, they landed on a place that was surrounded by clouds. They met Conis, a Skypiean. As they talked, the White Berets interrupted them and labeled them as a criminal of illegal entrants. As Zoro, Nami, Chopper, and Robin board the ship, a shrimp suddenly carried them to the Sacrificial Altar. Zoro, Nami and Robin explored the land and they discovered it was a part of Jaya. They later came back to the Going Merry and were reunited with Luffy's group. That same evening, they discussed their plan of attack and had a feast with a bunch of local wolfs. The next morning, Luffy's group set out to explore the island. When a giant snake attacked them, Robin, Luffy, Zoro and Chopper are separated, and all decided to go to the legendary city themselves hoping to meet each other there, although only Robin was going the right way. Robin defeated Yama, the chief of Enel's enforcers, angered by him destroying the ruins around her while trying to attack her and said he should treasure history more carefully. While looking for the Poneglyph, she met Enel himself and with a massive, powerful burst of lightning, he brought all the other combatants on Giant Jack crashing down to the city. With Nami (who was hiding) and Zoro as the only known survivors of the game, there were only six combatants that had survived (Luffy was swallowed by the giant snake during that time), in front of the master of the game. Enel eliminated Gan Fall when he defiantly denounced him as God. Robin herself was struck down by lightning after trying to trick Enel into believing that if he destroyed Upper Yard, the Golden Bell would never be found, having anticipated that she would have knowledge of where it was and would try to use it against him. When Luffy and a Shandia girl named Aisa escaped the snake (due to it being electrocuted by Enel), Robin regained consciousness, and told Luffy and Aisa of Enel's plan to destroy all of Skypiea, and gain the Golden Bell for himself. As Luffy charged towards the self-proclaimed god with Aisa on Pierre to give his location, Robin mustered up what strength she had to get the defeated Straw Hats to higher ground on Giant Jack in case Enel began his attack. During the battle, Enel tricked Luffy, and temporarily prevented him from interfering with his plan by grafting a giant sphere of gold onto his arm and removing him from the ship. Enel then used his flying ship, Maxim to form thunderclouds over Skypiea, and commenced his plan by firing lightning bolts all over the land as it rises to search for the Golden Bell. Amazingly, Luffy returned to Giant Jack, and asked Robin to take care of Aisa, while he had unfinished business with Enel, charging up again. Eventually, with Nami's help, the Straw Hats knocked over Giant Jack for Luffy with Nami riding her Waver to gain up to him, as he jumped towards the massive thundercloud Enel created, the Raigo, and discharged the electricity within it, causing it to explode and clear the sky. Luffy, with his final attack, knocked Enel through the Golden Bell, and ended the war between the Skypieans and the Shandia, with the bell and Enel collapsing. After Luffy defeated Enel, Robin read the Poneglyph on the Golden Bell, learning about another ancient weapon, Poseidon, and sees Gol D. Roger's writing in the ancient script on the bell. She then concludes that the Rio Poneglyph is on Laugh Tale. Seeing this, Robin became convinced that Luffy will be very important in the changing era of the world.
Water 7 Saga
Long Ring Long Land Arc
Robin and company came across a mysterious pirate ship after trying to escape a giant wave. Soon, they arrived on an island inhabited by strange animals. The Going Merry was captured by the Foxy Pirates. After Tonjit re-united with his horse, they were soon attacked by Captain Foxy and his subordinates, who challenged Luffy to a Davy Back Fight, a contest of pirates where the stakes were members of the crew. She teamed up with Nami and Usopp. With only Nami's, and Porche's boat remaining, it was an all out war to the goal, but after Foxy exposes his Devil Fruit powers, Porche won and took Tony Tony Chopper from Luffy. Then the second round prepared to start. She, together with the other Straw Hats, watched on the sidelines as Sanji and Zoro played the ball game, but were hampered by Foxy's blatant cheating and the crooked referee. But they managed to win, despite the constant cheating of the opposite team Luffy and Foxy faced off in the final game: a battle of brawn aboard Foxy's ship. The Straw Hat crew watched aside as Luffy continued to battle Foxy with the odds not in his favor, and the fight continued inside Foxy's ship. Luffy managed to finally defeat Foxy by using his own ability against him. After getting back his crewmembers, the Straw Hats left in search of a shipwright. After the Long Ring Long Land Arc, she was confronted by Aokiji, one of the three Admirals. Aokiji frightened Robin as he revealed to the crew a little of her dark past, emphasizing that every organization she had joined has been wiped out, leaving her as the only survivor. She tried to retaliate and attacked him with her power, but he remained unharmed because the Hie Hie no Mi's Logia intangibility. The Admiral then froze Robin with his powers, and then tried to smash her frozen form, but she was taken away by her crew. She managed to survive after having the ice encasing melted with hot water by her crew mates. The incident, however, left her very upset, as even her captain got frozen by Aokiji, and even though he was saved too, the archaeologist started to feel once more like a disgrace to her companions.
Water 7 Arc
On the morning of the third day at sea, she joins the others on the deck, where Chopper and Nami continue to worry about her well-being, but Robin says she's fine. Here Sanji tells her that if she wants he can cook her something hot and asks her if she's hungry, to which she replies that she would like some coffee, to which he agrees. Shortly after the crew decides to follow a giant frog, the Going Merry is almost hit by a Sea Train. There the crew met an old woman, Kokoro, and her granddaughter, Chimney, where Kokoro gives Luffy a map to the next island, Water 7. The crew traveled to Water 7 to cash in the gold from Skypiea and repair the ship. Robin went shopping with Chopper, where they were talking about a costume party that was going to be held in San Faldo. Just then, they arrive at a library, so Chopper rushes inside. As she was also making her way, a masked man walked past her and whispered "CP9" to her, which terrified her and she ran away from the scene. She then followed him, where Sanji finds her but ignores him, into an alley where she mysteriously disappears. Iceburg, the mayor of Water 7 and president of the Galley-La Company, was later nearly killed in an assassination attempt. He claimed that one of the assassins was Nico Robin and assumed that the masked man who was with her was another member of the Straw Hat Pirates. An announcement was made saying that the culprits of the assassination attempt were the Straw Hats, and that everybody should go and search for them. While the crew hid from angry residents, Sanji and Chopper discovered Robin and she told them what they had feared: she's responsible and she wanted to part ways. The Straw Hats (still missing Sanji) rushed to Galley-La Company headquarters where Robin and CP9, an elite group of assassins from the World Government, were beginning a raid. In Iceburg's room, Robin and the mysterious man Iceburg saw before, told him that they've purposely placed the blame on the pirates. Their true aim was the Pluton blueprints passed down on to him by his mentor Tom. The assassins regrouped and were revealed to be Iceburg's own allies: Blueno the bartender, his secretary Kalifa, and two of his shipwrights Kaku and Rob Lucci. The Straw Hat Pirates and Paulie broke into the room where they found Iceburg and CP9. Luffy and the others requested that Robin came back to the crew. She refused and told them that she could not accomplish her "wish" if she were to stay with them. Robin turned to leave and CP9 tried to hold the pirates back. Robin successfully escaped and Lucci showed those remaining his Devil Fruit power. When she boarded the Sea Train, the train was guarded. When it departed, Sogeking later appeared. Sogeking talked with Robin and told her that the crew knew about her reasons for leaving. After hiding under Robin's cloak, Sogeking showed himself. They stumbled into the room with CP9 and met with Sanji and Franky. Sogeking produced a smokescreen. The four headed into another car, detached it, and escaped. It's not long before Blueno pulled their car back, though. Franky knocked down the wall so that they could escape but ended up on the enemy car. Robin willingly followed Blueno into his improvised door and Sogeking and Sanji were left alone. For a while, Blueno explained a little of Robin's past involving the Buster Call. The CP9, Franky, and Robin finally reached Enies Lobby and disembarked.
Enies Lobby Arc
Upon learning her crewmates attacked Enies Lobby, Spandam told Robin he decided to break the agreement he had with her. After hearing this, Robin had an argument with Spandam, resulting in him kicking her. Once she spotted Luffy preparing to enter the Tower of Justice, Robin angrily told him she did not want to be saved. When Robin revealed her fears of being abandoned by the Straw Hats because of the danger of being close to her, Luffy ordered Sogeking to burn the World Government flag. This was Luffy's way of showing Robin that he and the Straw Hats would never abandon her, if the World Government was her enemy, then they were the Straw Hats' enemy too. Luffy then encouraged Robin to say that she wants to live, which she did, shouting out across Enies Lobby that she wanted to go to sea with them again. They proceeded to charge into the Tower of Justice facing off against CP9, to rescue her. Robin in the meantime, suffered continuous torture at Spandam's hands, with him gloating that CP9 would crush the Straw Hats, and calling the Buster Call (accidentally) to give them a very slim chance of surviving. With Seastone handcuffs on her, Robin was able do little to resist the physical punishment Spandam delivered (and once through his sword Funkfreed), and made her relive the painful memories of her home being annihilated, and her suffering of the past 20 years, all while revealing that the one who sent the Buster Call to Ohara, and started the painful two decades of her life of being hunted was in fact Spandine, Spandam's father. As Spandam laughed at Robin, the latter broke down in tears, reliving all that anger and frustration as she was being dragged across the Bridge of Hesitation, passing the arc on the bridge meant her fate would have been sealed after she passed the Gates of Justice, but Sogeking quickly fired gunpowder from another tower at Spandam, injuring him before he could get past the arc. Sogeking fired several gunpowder balls at the Marine soldiers, but they could not fire at him as the bullets do not cover the distance between them. Robin, realizing who was helping, shed a tear of happiness, and Franky himself reappeared with the keys they recovered fighting CP9 and freed Robin. Happy that her crewmates returned and rescued her, Robin was told by Sogeking, via Franky's Den Den Mushi, that she is indeed Luffy's friend. Robin now free, proceeded to get revenge on Spandam by using her powers to slap him senseless with multiple arms. Despite the Buster Call being called in to deal with the Straw Hats, they all managed to escape successfully. Robin had apparently gotten over her past, as she had joined the rest in fending off the Buster Call's attacks. She also saved Luffy, who won his battle with Rob Lucci even after he was immobilized from repeated attacks to his internal organs by Lucci, by dropping him onto the Going Merry. After Luffy got on board, he tried to thank her, but she used her powers to place a hand over his mouth and thanked the whole crew for risking themselves for her. Seeing Spandam's refusal to give up his pursuit of the Straw Hats, herself in particular, Robin finally broke Spandam's back with her Clutch technique to finish him off. With the Going Merry, everyone had managed to escape Enies Lobby safely. However, after escaping, Iceburg arrived in a Galley-La ship just in time to pick up the Straw Hat Pirates as the Merry suddenly broke apart. Luffy then gave the Going Merry a Viking funeral by burning it as the crew tearfully said goodbye.
Postenies Lobby Arc
Two days later, Robin was resting at Water 7 with her friends and those who helped her escape Enies Lobby. When Vice Admiral Garp arrived, Robin was surprised to learn that he is Luffy's grandfather. Robin then learned about Luffy's connection with Shanks when Garp was talking about the Four Emperors. After Garp mentioned that Luffy's father is the revolutionary, Dragon, Robin explained more about him to Luffy since he apparently had no clue about it. Sometime after Garp left, Robin remarked on her Captain's ties. Later on, a party was held at the Galley-La swimming pool. While standing alone and smiling, away from the celebration, she was greeted by a familiar voice. It was Aokiji, who was hiding behind the wall she was leaning against. He told her that he let her go twenty years ago only because Saul had been his friend but after seeing her wandering the seas as a criminal and causing suspicion, he decided that she needed to be eliminated. He said she resembled a time bomb waiting to go off. Then Aokiji asked if she had found a home with the Straw Hats, and she replied that she had. Aokiji then questioned as to whether she will show him if Saul was right, whether the destruction of Ohara was right or wrong. When she said she planned to, he left telling Robin to live strong and that Ohara is not fully destroyed and forgotten yet, presumably meaning that the memory and purpose of Ohara lived on within her and left. Robin waited a few seconds, then ran to the other side of the wall, but all that evidenced that he was there was an X of ice. A few days later, when the newspapers released the story of the Enies Lobby incident, the Franky Family and Galley-La shipwrights were removed from the report. Robin guessed Aokiji is behind it, but she did not tell anyone. Robin's bounty was increased to 80,000,000, with a new picture, a very small increase in comparison to the rest of the crew (with the exception of Chopper). After the Straw Hats lured Franky to the Thousand Sunny, Robin asked if she could use her ability to 'persuade' Franky to join the crew, by using her powers to squeeze his testicles until he agreed to join, even with everyone looking on in horror to what she was doing and Luffy telling her to stop as he wanted Franky to "still be a man" when he joined. She just replied that they are pirates, and that when they see "treasure", they should grab it and never let it go.
Thriller Bark Saga
Thriller Bark Arc
After sailing for some time on the Thousand Sunny, Robin and the rest of the crew came across a mysterious barrel floating in the ocean. Upon opening it, a flash shot up from it. Suspecting that it maybe a homing beacon of some sort, Robin asked the rest of the crew to get ready. After braving a storm that mysteriously came afterwards, Robin and the rest of the crew found themselves in the presence of a ghost ship. This ship apparently belonged to a skeleton named Brook who through by chance initially accepted Luffy's offer to join the crew. This skeleton explained over dinner that he was once a pirate that ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi. Brook also explained that his shadow was stolen by someone. The latter information seemed to spark an interest in Robin. Just as Brook was about to perform before Robin and the rest of the crew, a ghost appeared and some clanking sounds were heard. These sounds were caused by the gates of the island that suddenly appeared, Thriller Bark, closing. These events prompted Brook to head to the island before Robin and the rest of the Straw Hats' eyes. With Luffy's resolve to go to the island, Robin decided to join also with the response that she likes thrills. After witnessing Franky's present to the Straw Hats, Robin and the rest of the Straw Hats decided to look for Nami, Usopp, and Chopper who had not returned. However, before Robin and the rest could go to the island, they were stopped by an invisible thing. This thing licked her from bottom to top and left Robin and the rest baffled. After the Thousand Sunny got caught in what was apparently a spider web, Robin and the rest descended to the island. There they met the Cerberus which Robin found cute. After Luffy tamed the beast, Robin and the rest met two more of the island's creatures. Robin and the rest then came across some ghosts which she noted their difference with the rest of the other creatures on the island. She also noted the ghosts' strange ability to drain out one's will as she saw some pass through some of her traveling companions. After those who were affected by them recovered, Robin and the rest pressed forward. Robin and the rest later encountered some Zombies and defeated them with a combo technique. The group then met an old man who looked like a Zombie. The old man asked them to defeat Gecko Moria who had stolen his shadow. Robin, upon hearing that name, explained to the group that Moria was a Warlord of the Sea with a former bounty higher than Luffy. As Robin, Franky, and Luffy explored Hogback's Mansion, they were attacked by the Surprise Zombies in the dining room. After Luffy captured Buhichuck, it guided them deeper into the mansion into a trap. Luffy, Franky, and Robin are then forced to battle the General Zombies. Proving to be too many and too strong, they tried to escape but Luffy was abducted and sealed in a coffin and taken away. Before getting the chance to save him, Robin and Franky were blocked by a giant spider named Tararan. Franky destroyed the bridge they were on to escape from the situation and Robin reacted by creating wings out of hands. Though she stated she could only hold them for five seconds, it was enough for Franky to use his attack Strong Right to grab the entrance way from which the bridge had been attached to. As they were pulled up to the opening, Brook suddenly fell from the sky. After Brook's fall, Tararan returned his attention to Franky and Robin once again. As Robin and Franky fought on, Robin found herself trapped in a web formed by Spider Mice. Franky and Brook combined their efforts and defeated the Tararan and freed Robin. After the battle Brook explained to Robin and Franky how Moria created the Zombies and what their weakness is. Later, she helped Usopp and Chopper to defeat some zombies and escorted them back to the ship where they found Luffy, Zoro and Sanji. When Luffy asked if anyone objected to Brook joining the crew, Robin smiled and said Luffy would have invited him even if they did. After explaining the situation to them Luffy told the Straw Hats to prepare for a counterattack on Thriller Bark. Robin along with Chopper, faced off against Doctor Hogback and Zombies, Jigoro, Inuppe, and Hogback's servant Cindry while Luffy made his way to Moria. Robin tried fighting the zombies, but they proved too strong for her. Inuppe had forgotten the previous chivalry carried over from Sanji's shadow and showed no mercy to her. Robin tricks Hogback into telling them to jump out of the tower, as Chopper was able to hold down Cindry. With the zombies defeated, she and Chopper tried to finish off Hogback once and for all, until they were forced to flee when Oars attacks the mansion causing the room to collapse. Robin helped the other members of the crew fight the undead giant, Oars. After that, she was seen knocked unconscious from Oars' attack. However, she recovered quickly along with the rest of the crew and proceeded to assist in bringing Oars down with her move Cien Fleur: Big Tree. However, Oars recovered and Gecko Moria entered Oars' belly giving the giant greater strength than ever before. Robin attempted to stop Moria with her ability Ochenta Fleur: Cuatro Mano Hold by attempting to break Moria's neck. However, Moria escaped the attack with the help of Doppleman, his shadow. Moria then attacked Robin, removing her shadow from her body, leaving her unconscious, as he continued to operate Oars from within his stomach. She awakened sometime later and helped Luffy and Brook get to the top of Thriller Bark by sprouting legs on the walls to climb on. She then sprouted multiple arms, holding Oars' limbs in place long enough for Luffy to deliver the final blow to him. As the sun began to rise, Robin's body began to disintegrate in the sunrise. But just before her body completely vanished, her shadow returned in time for her to survive. Unfortunately, another Warlord of the Sea, Bartholomew Kuma was also on Thriller Bark just receiving orders via Sengoku from the World Government to wipe out all witnesses, including the Straw Hat Pirates of Gecko Moria's defeat by Monkey D. Luffy. After briefly dueling with Kuma, the Warlord gave the Straw Hats an ultimatum: Let him take Luffy (who has lost consciousness from the pain and fatigue he gained from fighting Moria, and his body almost disintegrating), and the Straw Hats would be spared as they were not as much a threat to the World Government as Luffy was. They all refused his offer and Kuma released his Ursus Shock attack, knocking Robin, along with the rest of the Straw Hats and the Rolling Pirates, unconscious, but regained consciousness after Kuma left Thriller Bark. Thanks to her power, she sprouted her ear to eavesdrop the conversation between Sanji and the Risky Brothers and knew about Zoro's story after Ursus Shock. Later on, during the party, she was seen watching over Zoro while commenting on how nostalgic the Binks' Sake song was. After that, when Brook asked again if Luffy would honor his initial acceptance of joining the Straw Hats, Luffy replied yes. While all the other Straw Hats were shocked at how quickly he joined the crew, Robin just giggled. Once she and the rest of the crew finally left Thriller Bark, they held a toast to Brook, their new crewmember.
Summit War Saga
Sabaody Archipelago Arc
Journeying further into the Sabaody Archipelago, the Straw Hats were looking for a mechanic to coat their ship, The crew saw slavery firsthand, Robin talked about fish-men being treated as inferior in the past. When the rest of the crew arrived at the auction house to rescue Camie, Robin dropped into the auction house using her Cien Fleur: Wing and fought the guards with the rest of the crew. Robin recognized Trafalgar Law as a pirate when Luffy asked who he is. She prepared to disable Saint Shalria before she could kill Camie, but the Noble was stopped by Rayleigh's burst of "spirit". Robin escaped with Hachi, Rayleigh, Camie and the rest of the crew to Shakky's Rip-off Bar, and heard Rayleigh tell of the truth about Gold Roger's fate. Robin later questioned Rayleigh as to what the Will of D. is and if they read the Rio Poneglyph, remembering when she noted Gol D. Roger writing a message in the same language. Rayleigh confirmed that they, the Roger Pirates, read the True History, but advised Robin that they may have misread it and that she herself may come to a different conclusion than they did. Rayleigh told them that they were mere pirates and had not had the intellect of the scholars from Ohara or Professor Clover, and said Roger simply had the ability to hear all things. Rayleigh seemed to be fully aware of the details of the Ohara Incident, and mentioned it was a tragedy, but asked if Robin still wanted to hear what he had learned from the True History, to which she declined. Robin's first question about the Will of D., however, was unanswered. Rayleigh decided to coat the Thousand Sunny free of charge, and because it would take at least three days to coat, he gave all the Straw Hats Vivre Cards to locate him. After the Straw Hats departed Shakky's Rip Off Bar, they were confronted by someone who appeared to be Bartholomew Kuma. Eventually, they were able to gain the upper hand on him, and Robin helped obtain victory by using her powers to form four huge arms to forcibly shut the mouth during a mouth blast attack, leaving it groggy before Nami and the Monster Trio (Sanji, Zoro and Luffy) seemingly delivered the finishing blows. Soon after, Sentomaru appears with another "Kuma", revealed to be a Pacifista. As they were attacked, Robin escaped with Luffy and Chopper. Sentomaru chased the group and managed to shrug off Luffy's attacks, to Robin's surprise. When Admiral Kizaru arrived and aimed for a crippled Zoro, she tried to move him away from his attack but he just shifted his position and pinned his body down. Later, she followed Luffy and Chopper when they split up only to be intercepted by Sentomaru who sent Luffy flying. She later carried Luffy to safety when Chopper turned into his Monster Point. Bartholomew Kuma also appeared on Sabaody, teleporting the out-of-control Pacifista away and then all the Straw Hats to different locations one by one. Robin was the second to last one to be vanished when she was intercepted by Kuma while she was trying to escape.
Straw Hat Separation Adventure Tequila Wolf
She landed on a 'bridge country' called Tequila Wolf, in the East Blue, where the enslaved inhabitants had been working on a bridge between islands for the last 700 years. She was also shown having her hands cuffed, indicating that she had to help build it. Robin asked why the Bridge is being built and was told she had no need to know that. She later appeared to have escaped surveillance with a ring of stolen keys in her mouth, but apparently had yet to leave their domain. Eventually, she and the other slaves were freed by a group of revolutionaries who came to liberate them.
Postwar Arc
The revolutionaries revealed that they had been searching for her for ten years because she was the only survivor from "The Nation who fought against the World, Ohara." Their leader, Dragon, told them to protect her from the World Government to the best of their abilities. The revolutionaries then offered Robin a meeting with Dragon. Robin declined as she did not need protection because she had her crew. Robin then rode on a carriage which was going to the end of the bridge. While passing through a construction site from 300 years ago, Robin inquired about the bridge. A revolutionary informed her that the construction of the bridge is an order from the World Nobles. When Robin received a newspaper, she laughed and was glad that Luffy was alright. When asked if there was something interesting written, she agreed and smiled. While reading the article of Luffy infiltrating and praying at Marineford, she stated "roger" with a smile as she had always done when her captain made an order. She changed her mind about going to Baltigo with them. She said that if she had known there were people this kind in the world that she would have come to them sooner. The revolutionaries said that they did not know she was working under Crocodile. She responded that she was glad things worked out the way they did. She then had a flashback to her life on the run as a child and to the events of Enies Lobby. When the revolutionaries invited her inside to be out of the cold, she said that as a pirate, she could not trust revolutionaries too easily and that it would not be wise to accept an invitation to a room where she would not have an escape route. As the revolutionaries were bringing her food and warm blankets, she wondered if she could become stronger by turning herself over to the revolution with Dragon, blushing and giggling at the idea. She then realized that she has never thought of becoming stronger for someone else before now. The story continues two years later.

Introduction
During The Timeskip
Summary
During the two-year timeskip, Robin was taught Fish-Man Karate fundamentals in the context of palm strikes by Koala of the Revolutionary Army. Since then, Robin has learned how to incorporate the effects of Fish-Man Karate into her usual fighting style of sprouted limbs, allowing her to break structures with ease through precise palm strikes.
Fishman Island Saga
Return To Sabaody Arc
Robin returned to Sabaody Archipelago in secret for reasons currently unknown. She had pulled her hair back, revealing more of her forehead and was wearing sunglasses and a long skirt. She was seen hiding from some government agents who were pursuing her. While wondering if she lost her pursuers, she read two posters, one about Brook's concert tour and the other one about the Fake Straw Hat Crew recruiting new members. She seemed confused by both articles. Later, when the Fake Robin was captured by her pursuers and they reported to an unknown source on a Den Den Mushi that they "have arrested Nico Robin", Robin showed no signs of surprise, saying she had to hurry while wondering if everyone else had made it back. She then returned to the Thousand Sunny at GR 17 where she met and got reacquainted with Franky. She commented that Franky had not changed (in terms of personality) and made a joke at the fact that he can no longer be considered "human". Robin was then reunited with Nami, Usopp, and Chopper when they arrived at the Thousand Sunny. When the Thousand Sunny arrived at Grove 42, Chopper and a giant bird brought Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji to the ship. When Boa Hancock intercepted a Marine ship, Robin told the crew about her. With the Marines held back by the Straw Hats' new allies, the crew submerged and headed for Fish-Man Island.
Fishman Island Arc
Undersea Voyage
As the ship descended, the crew marveled at the underwater sights. When Sanji was propelled out by a massive nosebleed and dragged back in the bubble by Luffy, she deduced that the coating had the same properties as the bubbles in Sabaody Archipelago. Usopp scolded her for analyzing the coating at the wrong time as Sanji's nosebleed was a more pressing issue. The crew then decided to have lunch while Franky explained how Kuma kept the ship safe for two years. As they pondered Kuma's intentions, the shadow of Caribou's ship is seen following them. As the Thousand Sunny descended even further, the Straw Hats marveled at how deep they were and how dark it was. With the help of a seacow, the Caribou Pirates caught up with the Straw Hats. Caribou quickly set foot on the Thousand Sunny. Before his crew could follow, his seacow, which turned out to be Momoo, fled in fear after seeing Nami, Sanji, and Luffy, taking the rest of the Caribou Pirates and leaving Caribou alone on the ship. The Straw Hats then tied up Caribou as he begged for mercy. With that settled, Robin helped Nami explain about the Sea Currents. She was then the one to spot the 'underwater waterfall' where the crew encountered the Kraken. Robin calmly commented that it is a rare sight and started sketching it. Even though the Monster Trio left the ship using Barefoot Coating to fight the Kraken, the sea monster aimed for the Thousand Sunny. After Chopper blocked a tentacle with his Guard Point, Robin used her Devil Fruit powers to prevent the Thousand Sunny from hitting the undersea mountain. The Monster Trio soon defeated the Kraken, but because they were not wearing life-lines, they got separated from Robin and the rest of the Straw Hats as the ship went down the "underwater waterfall". After reaching 7000 meters below the surface, the crew encountered more sea monsters. When the crew reached the deep-sea volcanic region, they encountered an angler fish which attempted to eat the Thousand Sunny. Robin and the crew are saved by an Umibozu. The crew then encountered Vander Decken and the Flying Dutchman. Vander Decken ordered the Umibozu to punch the Thousand Sunny, but the giant was stopped by the newly-tamed Kraken. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were then reunited with the rest of the Straw Hats. Before anything could happen, an underwater volcano started to erupt. When the crew started escaping from the volcano, Robin commented that Surume, the Kraken´s new name given by Luffy, had an odd way of running. After jumping into the trench, she, along with Franky, noticed the rocks falling toward the ship. When Zoro tried to cut them, Robin grabbed him with her Devil Fruit powers, saying that the water pressure outside at this depth would kill him. When the ship reached the bottom of the trench, the crew finally saw Fish-Man Island. The crew encountered a gang of sea monsters led by Hammond, who gave the crew two options: join the New Fish-Man Pirates or die. When Nami told Franky her plan to get away from Hammond, Robin agreed that it was a good idea and the only way for them to make it out alive.
Discovering An Ancient History
Luffy rejected Hammond and the fish-man prepared to attack. Franky activated Coup de Burst (using the rest of the oxygen contained within the coating's bubble) and the ship flew through the bubble surrounding Fish-Man Island. Upon entry, Robin realized that the bubble is double-layered and that most ships would just fall through the air pocket between the layers. Upon successfully entering the second bubble, the Sunny then fell into a powerful current which separated the crew. Robin remained with Nami and Franky after they entered Fish-Man Island. They went on their separate ways to do different things. Robin decided to explore Fish-Man Island to study history. After defeating several Ammo Knights at a fish bus stop, she was seen riding on a fish bus heading to the Sea Forest. Robin learned that there might be a Poneglyph in there. She soon met Franky and informed him that she was searching for something and heads to the Sea Forest. Robin eventually found the Poneglyph, hidden in the backwoods of the Sea Forest. She read it easily, despite it being covered with moss and left to age. She commented that this poneglyph is different from the others, which had an apology letter written on it. She then wondered what the apology was for and asked about someone named Joy Boy. She then returned to the location of the Thousand Sunny to interrupt a fight between Luffy and Jinbe with her new duplication technique. Later, when the group is discussing their attack strategy, Nami volunteered Robin and herself to get the keys to the royal family's shackles and swipe the Celestial Dragon letter, respectively.
Battle For Fishman Island
Robin later went to Gyoncorde Plaza with the rest of the Straw Hats and used her ability to unlock the chains that bound Neptune and the princes. Robin and the crew then prepared to fight against the New Fish-Man Pirates. When Luffy unleashed a burst of Supreme King Haki, Robin is surprised at his ability, though not unfamiliar with it. As the battle with the New Fish-Man Pirates commenced, Robin defeated some of them with her Devil Fruit powers. She then used "Mil Fleur: Gigantesco Mano", summoning two giant legs to crush more of the pirates. Later, when Hyouzou went on a rampage, he charged at Robin. Zoro intercepted Hyouzou before he reached her. When Jinbe saw Hammond's "Slave Tank" and how the New Fish-Man Pirates were treating their captives in the same way the World Nobles treated their slaves, he asked Robin to help, and she agrees. Robin managed to get the key to the slaves' shackles and freed them as requested. Once freed, the slaves threw Hammond to the ground. Hammond recovered and tried to capture Robin with a trawl net, but it only caught a clone made from Robin's Hana Hana Fruit powers. Robin then used Cuerpo Fleur to make a clone on Hammond's back and grabbed his neck, while she held Hammond's legs with multiple arms and performed a Double Clutch move, breaking Hammond's back. After all the leaders of the New Fish-Man Pirates had been defeated, the Straw Hats look into the sky as Luffy tried to destroy Noah. When the Sea Kings appeared and stopped Noah from falling, saving the ship and the island at the same time, everyone on Fish-Man Island celebrated. Princess Shirahoshi brought a wounded Luffy to the Straw Hats, since Chopper could not move after using his Monster Point, Robin helped him move in order to save Luffy from blood loss.
An Important Secret Revealed And Departure
Afterwards, she attended the party at the palace in honor of their victory against the New Fish-Man Pirates and was drinking with the Minister of the Left. Later, she wished to talk with Neptune in private about the Poneglyph she read and about Joy Boy. Neptune told her that Joy Boy was a human who lived during the Void Century and talked about the promise Joy Boy made with the Mermaid Princess during the that time. He went on about the importance of Noah and how Joy Boy was unable to keep his side of the deal and sent the Poneglyph with an apology on it instead. Robin then told Neptune about the Poneglyph she read on Sky Island two years ago about Poseidon and stated that its location is Fish-Man Island. She then asked if the Mermaid Princess of the Void Century had a name and realized that Poseidon is the Mermaid Princess's name, so Shirahoshi has inherited the name and powers of the ancient weapon. Robin and Neptune agreed to not talk about this as should other pirates or the World Government find out, they would hunt her down and try using her for themselves. Unfortunately for them, Caribou had listened to their entire conversation. As the party ended, Robin was seen sitting with her friends and talking to Camie. Later when Luffy brought the news about him declaring war on Big Mom, everyone was shocked while Robin merely smiles. Afterwards, when the people of Fish-Man Island came to bid farewell to the Straw Hats, Robin was curious about what Neptune and Minister of the Right were whispering about. Later, she again seemed glad when Luffy decided to choose the route to the most dangerous island. When Luffy promised Shirahoshi that he will take her to the surface the next time they met, Robin and the other Straw Hats also promised Shirahoshi the same thing. After sailing away from Fish-Man Island, the Straw Hats cheered while they began their journey to their next adventure. On their way to New World, the Straw Hats decided to fish some deep-sea fishes for their welcoming party in New World. Later, Robin noticed a White Storm which was sucking Sunny towards it and informed the crew about its dangers. Finally, when the Straw Hats escaped the White Storm and enter the New World; Robin was seen among them remarking on the wild and strong winds of the New World.
Dressrosa Saga
Punk Hazard Arc
Arriving At Punk Hazard
Upon entering New World, the crew spotted an island surrounded by a sea of flames. They then received a distress call from someone who seemed to be in trouble and supposedly resided on Punk Hazard Island. At first, Robin suspected that the call was a trap by the Marines, but Luffy decided to go to the island anyway. Later on, Luffy and a small group (including Robin, Zoro and Usopp) chosen by picking straws went to explore the island. After disembarking, they sailed over the sea of flames beneath them on a cloud road Nami had made for them. As Usopp flustered and panicked, she happily enjoyed Sanji's lunch he made for them and playfully fed Luffy some of it. As they approached, they began to feel the intense heat of the island and went deeper while observing the surroundings with Zoro and Robin wondering about the area being a former World Government base or locked up and closed off due to the extreme heat. She wondered why the log pose did not point to this place. As they began to explore, Robin stripped off her dress to an undershirt beneath due to the immense heat. Thinking back on the distress call remembering the caller mentioned feeling cold, with her wondering if there was a cold place on this island. Later, they came across a mysterious dragon that was supposedly capable of communicating with human. After the dragon was cleaved by Zoro, Luffy revealed a pair of legs stuck on the dragon and pulled them off only to see it was just a pair of legs to begin with. The group, except Robin and Zoro, were further shocked to see that the pair of legs could move on its own and talk, making the group realize that the voices they heard did not came from the dragon. The legs took off in pursuit of a Warlord. After the group cut up and ate the dragon meat and took the rest with them, they continued their expedition. Luffy decided to play with the legs, placing them on his back and pretending to be a centaur. Robin commented on how vulgar Luffy was. Zoro then drew the group's attention to a remarkable sight: a lake separating the flaming half of the island from a frozen, mountainous region on the other half. Usopp then sighted a humanoid figure with wings. Luffy's group then received a call from Brook, who informed them that the Sunny had been taken to the frozen side of the island and that the other Straw Hats went missing. After Luffy and Robin defeated two centaurs, the group decided to go to the frozen side of the island. To cross the lake, Usopp formed a boat from Pop Greens. While the group rode on the boat, the centaur that Luffy had just fought jumped after them and informed his boss that the pirates were heading his way. The four Straw Hats then saw a group of centaurs waiting for them on the other side. The centaurs then fired their bazookas at the water around the boat, capsizing it and leaving Usopp and Zoro to hold up Luffy and Robin. Zoro moved to attack the centaurs, but was instead dragged underwater by sharks. The centaurs prepared to attack the Straw Hats again, but they were stopped by Brook, giving Luffy, Zoro, Robin, and Usopp enough time to escape the lake. After emerging from the freezing water, they planned on stealing coats from the centaurs. After defeating them and stealing their coats, the group used Brownbeard as transportation to Vegapunk's former research facility. They soon arrived at the scene where Law and Smoker just fought. After Luffy talked to Law, the group quickly got away from the Marines and moved to the back side of the facility and met up with Nami, Franky, Sanji, Chopper, and some of the children that were held prisoner in the research facility. The Straw Hats then tied up Brownbeard and brought each other up to speed on the current situation. After interrogating Brownbeard, they learned about a man known as Caesar Clown. Kin'emon later left the group to find his torso and Sanji, Brook, and Zoro went out to search for him. As Franky started to adjust to Chopper's body, Robin told him not to talk. Before long, several of the giant children started to feel pain, saying that they need candy usually given to them in order to make the pain go away. However, Chopper stated that the candy contained a drug that the children became addicted to and Luffy's group learned that the children had been experimented on. The giant children started to go on a rampage, forcing Usopp to put them to sleep. Luffy's group then decided to help the children and find Caesar. The group also tied up the giant children so that they could not destroy anything else. Luffy, Usopp, Franky, and Robin then left Chopper and Nami to watch the children while they headed to Caesar's lab. While they were gone, Luffy's group heard an explosion coming from the hideout and quickly turned back. When they returned, the Yeti Cool Brothers opened fire on them and escaped with Nami in Franky's body.
Alliance With Law And Confrontation With Caesar Clown
Luffy and Franky went after the brothers and Robin and the rest were shocked that Franky turned into Monster Point and went on a rampage. After the Yeti Cool Brothers were defeated, Luffy, Franky, Nami, and Law returned to the hideout. Robin and the rest were surprised that Luffy and Law formed an alliance. When Law returned Franky and Chopper to their bodies, Robin was pleased as she hated having Franky in Chopper's body. The Straw Hats and Law then formed a plan to capture Caesar while helping the children. Robin was later seen flying with Luffy and Franky towards Caesar's lab. While the other two crashed into a Marine warship, Robin used Wings to land safely on the ground. They all then prepared to capture Caesar Clown. In the ensuing fight against Caesar's centaurs and the G-5 Marines, Franky blasted the doors open. Before Robin's group entered the facility, pieces of the Slime started falling from the sky and attacked anyone near them. Caesar Clown soon revealed himself to both Luffy's group and the G-5 Marines. Along with Franky, Robin then watched the battle between Luffy and Caesar. When Franky exclaimed that Luffy is finally able to grab a Logia user, Robin compared Armament Haki to seastone, saying that while that form of Haki allowed the user to catch the real body of a Logia opponent, it did not negate the effects of the Logia ability like seastone does. When Luffy was attacked by Caesar's Gas Tank, she screamed out to Luffy and she was shocked when Luffy was attacked again by Gas Tank. She heaved a sigh of relief when Luffy managed to subdue Caesar after a lengthy battle. When Luffy suddenly fainted, Robin and Franky wondered what was happening to him. Robin, Franky, Smoker, and Tashigi later fell into unconsciousness without Caesar even touching them. She was then locked up in a cell with Luffy, Franky, Smoker, Tashigi, and Law. Robin asked Luffy if it felt nostalgic, as she and Crocodile had locked Luffy and Smoker in a cage at the Arabasta Kingdom. While Clown was giving out his broadcast to the underworld brokers about his experiment with his chemical mass destruction weapon, Robin and the other captives just sat passively in the cell. After Smiley exploded and released a poisonous cloud, the prisoners witnessed the destructive effects of the gas as some of Caesar's subordinates succumbed to it. After explaining about his weapon of mass destruction, Caesar proceeded to move the cell outside of the facility where the prisoners would die. Robin then watched as Law began their escape plan, directing Franky to launched his Franky Fireball at the segregated battleship down below. Setting the wood alight, the smoke then rose up to the cage, allowing them to discreetly take action. Law quickly revealed that he had replaced some of the seastone handcuffed with regular ones allowing for him to escape easily. After freeing Luffy and the others, Law used his powers to move them into the laboratory. They then opened the shutters, allowing everyone outside to escape the poison gas. After the G-5 Marines plugged up the hole made by Zoro and Kin'emon, they prepared to arrest the Straw Hat crew but were interrupted by Law. Law told everyone present about a way off the island through a door with "R Building 66". He then said that they all had only two hours to escape. As everyone departed with different objectives, Robin was seen standing next to Law as Luffy ran to find Caesar. Luffy told her to go with Kin'emon's group, and she was later seen riding on Brownbeard's back. After one of Caesar's henchmen blew a hole on the wall of Building A with a cannon, the gas poured in. As the gate to the passageway to Building B closed, Robin and the others made haste to escape Building A. They, except for some of the Marines, managed to escape to the passageway before the gate shut completely. They left Tashigi and the Marines to mourn the loss of the ones who did not make it. The group continued on to Building B while riding on Brownbeard's back. After entering the building, the small dragon, after attacking Tashigi's group, began to attack the Straw Hats, Kin'emon, and Brownbeard. While Brook and Kin'emon argued on who should fight the dragon, Robin, Nami, and Usopp dealt damage to it, leaving Brook and Kin'emon to deliver the finishing blow. The group then found Chopper (in Monster Point) trying to prevent the children from getting their candy. Regardless of his efforts, the children beat him down and ran pass him when the Rumble Ball wore off. Robin, Kin'emon, Nami, Zoro, Usopp, and Brook quickly came to Chopper's aid and ran after the children to the Biscuits Room, where Mocha was guarding a piece of candy. Robin attempted to hinder the children by using her Devil Fruit powers to create giant hands as a barrier. This soon proved to be futile as the angry children continued going after Mocha. Monet then appeared and told Mocha to share the candy. Robin told Usopp, Brook and Kin'emon to go find some seastone handcuffs and Momonosuke, and attempted to stop the children once again, only for Monet to stop her by stabbing her in the shoulder, telling her not to interfere. Zoro managed to stop Monet from landing more hits and told Robin to leave her to him, as she was a Logia user. Nami and Chopper then tended to Robin, but she assured them that her wound was only a cut. Monet tried to attack them when they attempted to run after the children, but Zoro quickly blocked her. After getting hit by Nami's Heat Egg, Monet dove into the snow and stopped Robin, Nami, and Chopper from leaving by creating a wall to block their path. An enraged Monet suddenly ensnared Nami and Chopper and attempted to bite Chopper. Robin used her Hana Hana no Mi abilities to shatter Monet. Zoro then cut down the snow barrier, allowing Robin, Nami, and Chopper to go after the children. While Robin tried to help sedate the berserk children, she used Cien Fleur: Dos Mano which created two giant hands to pin down one of the children so that Chopper could give him a sedative. Despite Robin and Nami's best efforts, some of the children managed to get around them and caught Mocha. No longer able to run from the children, Mocha swallowed the whole batch of candy as Robin, Nami, and Chopper watched in horror. While Mocha coughed up blood, Robin was happy to see Sanji and the G-5 Medical Team arrive to help. With their assistance, they were able to sedate the children. While Chopper tended to Mocha's condition, Robin, Nami, Sanji, the children and the G-5 with them made haste to Building R. They later joined up with Zoro and Tashigi. After Luffy defeated Caesar, Robin's group reunited with him. Once everyone reached Building R safely, they boarded a rail car and made their escape. Once they reached the outside, they found Franky battling against Buffalo and Baby 5.
Aftermath
After the defeat of Buffalo and Baby 5 and the capture of Caesar Clown, everyone took a moment to rest and relax and they all had a feast together. After the party ended, Robin and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates made their way to their ship to set sail to their next destination. While they made their way, the G-5 marines put up a banner to prevent the kids from seeing the Straw Hats while yelling things like Marines are justice and pirates are scum. The kids, however, said that they were the ones who saved them, while remembering all the Straw Hats did for them. The G-5 marines continue to speak ill of pirates and praise the marines, but Tashigi interrupts them and says they are a disgrace. The G-5 marines respond with saying that if they do not badmouth the pirates, they would come to admire and respect them. Eventually the marines lower their voices and banners to let the kids say their goodbyes, while Robin and the rest of the Straw Hats wave them goodbye, as they continue to make their way to their ship. Robin and the Straw Hat pirates were later seen on a Seaslope, which are pretty common according to Law. A little while later, Luffy started to explain that they formed alliance with the Heart Pirates to take down an Emperor. Law then started explaining about the operations and underworld deals of all the major pirates of the New World and that Doflamingo, also known as Joker, has the most influence in the underworld. Law continued on, saying that Doflamingo's biggest client is Kaidou, which greatly shocked Kin’emon and Momonosuke. Law proceeded to explain the next goal of their plan which was to cut down Kaidou’s forces as much as possible, specifically his army synthetic devil fruit users. Law also revealed that the current number of synthetic devil fruit users is about 500. Law assured the crew that the number would not grow any time soon, due to the capture of Caesar Clown. Law concluded by saying that the devil fruits are being made on their next destination, Dressrosa, and also warned the crew to not underestimate Doflamingo. Luffy asked if Kin'emon had business on Dressrosa and Kin'emon revealed that he has a comrade being held prisoner there. Later that evening, Robin bathed together with Momonosuke, making Sanji, Brook, and Kin'emon quite jealous. When they saw him wrapped in her bosom, Sanji, Brook, and Kin'emon were completely infuriated until Nami reprimanded them to behave. Nami asked Momonosuke to sleep with her and Robin for the night, much to his delight. On the next morning, everyone read the news about Doflamingo abdicating his position as a Warlord as per Law's demanded as well as his kingship of Dressrosa. They saw that the newspaper also explained about Luffy and Law's alliance and the alliance between Kid, Hawkins, and Apoo. Law remained unconcerned with the other pirate alliance and then explained his next phase of his plan to the crew.
Dressrosa Arc
The Next Objective
After Law contacted Doflamingo to inform him that they were bringing Caesar to Green Bit, Robin had a meal with the rest of the crew while Kin'emon and Momonosuke told them the story about how they were shipwrecked and drifted to Dressrosa, how Momonosuke was separated from his father, and how Kanjuro was captured. The Thousand Sunny later approached Dressrosa. After disembarking, the group split into three teams. Robin was assigned to the team responsible for delivering Caesar to Green Bit. Law's group and Caesar stopped by at a northeastern café wearing disguises like Luffy's group. While getting information on how to get to Green Bit, they learned that the bridge that connected to that island was surrounded by Fighting Fish that are strong enough to break iron. The man they were talking to warned them that no one who crossed the bridge to Green Bit had returned. Caesar and Usopp then became worried that they had to go through a dangerous passage. They then spotted CP0 walking by. Robin hid her face and commented that their presence was not good. As Law's group crossed the bridge, they were attacked by the fighting fish. Law told Usopp to release Caesar from his handcuffs so he could help fight off the fishes. Law also revealed that he held Caesar's heart as insurance. Since the use of his Ope Ope no Mi powers depleted his strength, Law tasked Usopp, Robin, and Caesar with defending the bridge, wanting to save all of his strength so he could confront Doflamingo. Despite their efforts, the bridge was destroyed. A fighting fish attacked them from the front, but it was then captured by some unknown people. The group then used Caesar to fly to the other side. After reaching Green Bit, they discovered a Marine ship on the island. Usopp and Robin scouted the island and spotted a group of Marines searching for someone. The two then witnessed the Marines suddenly stripped by the mysterious inhabitants of the island. Robin used her powers to catch the unseen people and deduced that they were dwarves.
Company With The Dwarves
While Robin is talking to the dwarf she caught, she and Usopp were put to sleep by the other dwarves. She later wakes up in Tontatta Kingdom, pinned to the ground while the dwarves, led by Leo, search her body. They release her when she promises that she will not hurt them. Robin was surprised at how trusting they are, but Leo demanded some kind of weapon in exchange. Since Robin does not have any weapons, the dwarves threaten to strip her of all her clothing. Another dwarf, Flapper, stops them, saying that Robin is a friend of the "hero". Robin then wondered what kind of lie Usopp came up with. Robin creates a copy of her upper body above ground and tells Law that she and Usopp are trapped underground but are still fine. She urges Law to leave Green Bit right before Issho and Doflamingo arrive at the exchange site. Robin was then seen having a feast with Usopp and the dwarves. As Usopp continued telling lies to the dwarves, she noticed a statue of Mont Blanc Noland. Leo then told her the history of how Mont Blanc Noland helped Tontatta Kingdom in the past. Robin commented on how Usopp was a bad person for claiming to be Mont Blanc Noland's descendant. As the dwarves prepared for their upcoming battle against Doflamingo, Robin learned that there was a dark factory in the basement of the Corrida Colosseum where 500 dwarves were forced to work as slaves. When the dwarves complete their preparation, they march to Dressrosa through an underground passage, riding on an army of insects while Robin and Usopp ride on linear foxes. Shorty after the beginning of the march, Gancho appears out of Robin's cleavage and explains to Robin and Usopp that the dwarves' history with Dressrosa goes back 900 years ago. Once the group from Green Bit gathered at the Riku Royal Army Headquarters hidden beneath the Flower Field, Robin listened to Thunder Soldier's speech about overthrowing Doflamingo. Afterwards, Robin listened to Gancho as he explained more about the history of the dwarves centuries ago including their enslavement by the Donquixote Family and their liberation by the Riku Family after the Void Century. Once Gancho finished with his story, Robin asked Thunder Soldier about Rebecca and her grandfather. Thunder Soldier explained about an incident ten years ago which caused the former Riku King to lose all trust from the citizens before revealing himself to be Rebecca's father. After this revelation, Robin, Franky, and Usopp then listened to Thunder Soldier as he explained the story of Dressrosa in detail. Robin commented on how amazing it was that Dressrosa was so peaceful under the Riku Family's rule before the toy soldier talked about the fateful night in which Doflamingo took over. After Thunder Soldier finished explaining the story behind Doflamingo's past takeover of the kingdom, Robin commented on how cunning Doflamingo was. Usopp assumed that Doldo was charged for the crimes he supposedly committed and put to death. Thunder Soldier explained otherwise, saying that Doldo still lived because his daughter, Viola, promised to aid the Donquixote Pirates on the condition that her father was spared. Thunder Soldier described how the citizens that were turned into toys were forgotten by their families and loved ones and also mentioned that some of the toys were beginning to lose their memories as well. However, they still remembered their hatred for Doflamingo and Thunder Soldier planned to use that fact to recruit them for the rebellion. After hearing about Doflamingo's atrocities, Robin was willing to join the fight, saying that Doflamingo cannot be forgiven. Thunder Soldier then expressed his despair regarding Doflamingo's fake resignation. As he went into detail about how at first they were overjoyed at his "resignation", he mentioned the fact that this being false information was what drove he and the dwarves to plan a rebellion. Robin, Usopp, and Franky looked on in shock as they realized they were the catalyst of the imminent rebellion. When Zoro finally made contact with Luffy at the Corrida Colosseum, Robin, Usopp, and Franky engaged in a conference call with both Sanji and Luffy's group without the dwarves listening in on their conversation. After the true situation on Dressrosa was explained and everyone was brought up to speed, the trio gained Luffy's approval to join the revolution against the Donquixote Pirates. During the skirmish at Corrida Colosseum, Kin'emon informed everyone that Law was defeated in battle by Doflamingo. Everyone was then shocked to hear that an admiral was present in Dressrosa, leading Robin to comment that they were against more enemies than they had originally thought. They became even more shocked upon learning that the Sunny was under attack by the Big Mom Pirates, who were after Caesar Clown. As Sanji's group continued on to Zou and Luffy's group decided to take the fight to Doflamingo, Franky's group was left in charge of destroying the SMILE factory. Thunder Soldier then explained to Robin, Franky, and Usopp the plans for the upcoming assault, which he named Dressrosa Operation S.O.P. As the three Straw Hats wondered what S.O.P. meant, the soldier informed them about an underground world where the factory and trade port were located and that they would infiltrate through an underground tunnel. Other than destroying the factory and the port, the key to the operation's success would be taking out Sugar, the Devil Fruit user who turned humans into toys. The Straw Hats learned that by knocking Sugar unconscious, her powers would be undone.
Dressrosa Operation Sop
Robin, Usopp, the dwarves, and Thunder Soldier entered the tunnel and began their infiltration. Robin was carried through the tunnel by Inhel, Cotton, Baxcon and Daikon, and she listened as Leo explained about the Donquixote Pirates' hierarchy. After hearing about Franky's assault on the toy house, they arrived at the trade port. After Thunder Soldier separated from the group to go to the royal palace, the rebels prepared to go to the central tower where Sugar is located. When Usopp was spotted by two of Doflamingo's subordinates, Robin watched as the dwarves stripped them and knocked them out. Robin and Usopp then put on disguises. They later infiltrated the officer tower and went to the room where Trebol and Sugar were located. Leo planned to take down Sugar by placing a spice known as Tatababasco into her basket of grapes. Robin was watching as Leo went forward to execute his plan. After seeing how accurately Trebol shot a fly with his ability, Robin stopped Leo, knowing that Trebol would be able to spot him. While Bian caused a commotion at the trade port with her army of wasps, Robin lured Trebol out of the tower. After leaving the tower, they heard Sugar calling Trebol to return. Robin then tricked Trebol into attacking a group of pirates and attempted to flee. Trebol soon caught on to her deception and tried to catch her, but it was just a clone. After Trebol threw a ship at the officer tower, Robin helped Usopp out of the wreckage. They could only watch as Trebol captured the dwarves with his sticky substance and tricked Leo into revealing who the dwarves were allied with. After Trebol ignited the sticky substance, causing it to explode, Leo was then blown away to where Robin and Usopp were. With the dwarves incapacitated, Robin used her Devil Fruit powers in an attempt to knock out Sugar with the spice the dwarves were going to use. Sugar touched one of Robin's arms, transforming her into a toy. While wandering in the trade port, Robin wondered where Usopp went and put her hopes in him. Robin was glad when Usopp finally mustered his courage and took a stand against Trebol. When Usopp miraculously completed Operation SOP, Robin transformed back into a human. She then tend to a wounded Usopp and thanked him for his efforts. Angered at Sugar's defeat, Trebol threatened not to let the dwarves or Robin escape with Usopp. Robin asked the Tontatta to leave with Usopp while she dealt with Trebol. As she confronted Trebol, he asked if the Straw Hats' goal was the SMILE Factory. He proceeded to attack her, but she was able to block his attack by rising a giant rock from the ground with her abilities. Trebol was interrupted by Hajrudin, who took Usopp from the Tontatta and raised him above his head in a ceremonial fashion and proclaimed Usopp as their savior. As the ceiling above them began to collapse due to the destruction of the colosseum, Hajrudin and the rest of the newly restored combatants agreed to follow Usopp's instructions, vowing to save the Tontatta and destroy the SMILE Factory.
The Birdcage
When the Revolutionary Army's members made their way down to the trading port, they were reunited with Robin, who introduced Usopp to them. Doflamingo then trapped Dressrosa in his Torikago and created a survival game which gave everyone a choice to either kill him or those on a list of certain people. During the chaos occurring throughout the country, Robin's group was briefly reunited with Kin'emon. Doflamingo announced his hit list, which included Robin, Rebecca, Kin'emon, Sabo, and Usopp. Robin's bounty was one star, or 100 million. With Usopp's followers becoming their enemies, Robin, Usopp, Rebecca, Bartolomeo, the Revolutionaries, and the Tontatta dwarves fled to the surface. While fleeing, she contacted Zoro through Den Den Mushi. Robin's group (except for Sabo and Koala) later reached the colosseum stands. Robin noted that after Pica rearranged Dressrosa, the outer wall of the Colosseum came into contact with the King's Plateau, and that if they climbed up there, they could meet with the others. They eventually arrived at the top of the old King's Plateau where they met up with Riku Doldo III, Viola, and Tank Lepanto. After Viola found the keys to Law's seastone handcuffs, Robin contacted Luffy through Den Den Mushi and told him to meet her, Rebecca, Bartolomeo, and Leo at the sunflower garden on the fourth level of the new King's Plateau. Using the beetles of the Tontatta Airlines Yellow Cab, Rebecca, Robin, and Bartolomeo jumped down from the old King's Plateau and were carried from rooftop to rooftop. Leo reminded them to aim for the fourth level and warned them to watch out for attacks from below. They later reached the giant Pica statue while Zoro was battling Pica. After Pica noticed them, he prepared to throw a colossal punch at the trio with the statue, but Zoro stopped Pica with a powerful sword slash, much to Robin's relief. Robin, Rebecca, and Bartolomeo then passed the giant stone statue and continued onwards to the fourth level. While flying over the second level, the group was attacked by Gladius, and the explosions struck Robin's beetles and Bartolomeo, separating them from Rebecca, Leo, and Kabu. As she fell, Robin kept Gladius from pursuing Rebecca, and slowed her own fall with wings made of hands. Robin and Bartolomeo then landed on the third level where Luffy, Law, Kyros, and Cavendish were. Robin and Bartolomeo faced off against Gladius and an army of giant toys to enable Luffy and his allies to continue on towards the fourth level where Rebecca would be waiting. As Luffy, Law, and Kyros went up the stairway created by Bartolomeo's ability, Bartolomeo got injured protecting Luffy from Gladius' attacks. After Robin saved Bartolomeo from one of the giant toys, she remarked that Luffy has always been the winning trump card. She then knocked away the toys in the vicinity and declared that she will not allow Gladius to lay a hand on Luffy. When the giant toys returned to their original forms after Sugar's second defeat, Robin realized that the reason for the toys' size was that each was made from eight soldiers. While Bartolomeo and Cavendish fought Gladius, Robin, worried about Rebecca, made her way up to level 4. Gladius tried to gun her down, but Bartolomeo used his barrier to block the shots. Robin winked at Bartolomeo in gratitude, making him very happy. After Bartolomeo accidentally knocked Cavendish unconscious, Hakuba awoke and ran up the cliff to attack Robin, but Robin was able to stop him with her powers. Cavendish then regained control of his body while apologizing to Robin over what Hakuba did. While Robin had both Cavendish and Hakuba restrained, Gladius attempted to rupture the plateau they were on. Bartolomeo attempted to stop Gladius, but his efforts were in vain. Cavendish, having gained some control over Hakuba, pleaded with Robin to trust him to escape the explosion with Hakuba's speed. The two narrowly escaped from Gladius's attack with Cavendish stopping Hakuba from harming Robin by holding his blade with his hand. Cavendish then fell asleep afterwards while Robin went on ahead. She arrived at the Sunflower Field just in time to save Rebecca from one of Diamante's attack. She then told Rebecca that she can leave the fight to her. Robin then promised Kyros that she would protect Rebecca so he could focus on his battle with Diamante. When Diamante caused spiky iron balls to rain down from the sky, Robin shielded Rebecca with Mil Fleur: Flower Umbrella. Robin remained at Rebecca's side until Kyros cut down Diamante. However, some of Diamante's iron balls managed to graze Robin's back. After Diamante's defeat, Robin was surprised when Pica appeared and then left after speaking to Kyros and Rebecca. They then watched Pica head towards the Old King's Plateau. Later, Robin witnessed an explosion on the palace rooftop and saw Luffy carrying Law out of harm's way. She then told Luffy to bring Law down to the Flower Field, and Luffy thanked her as he threw Law down. Robin caught Law using Spider's Net and was appalled by his injuries. Not willing to let Law get away, Doflamingo shot at him using Tamaito and Robin immediately shielded Law with her own body. Fortunately, Cavendish reappeared and deflected the attack before it could hit. After Cavendish told Bartolomeo to make them a staircase to get down, Robin prepared to leave the Flower Field with the others. However, Law regained consciousness and declared his intent to stay on the Flower Field. Law stated that he was responsible for dragging Luffy into his fight, but Robin assured him that Luffy fought Doflamingo on his own choosing. Cavendish told Robin to go on ahead and gave her his coat. Robin, Kyros, and Rebecca then left the Sunflower Field and joined up with Bartolomeo and the colosseum gladiators as Riku Doldo III encouraged the citizens to not give in to despair. Robin was later informed by Viola about Zoro and the others' attempt to hinder the Torikago, and she commented on how it was like Zoro to think of such a plan. She then aided the colosseum gladiators in pushing back the Torikago via Bartolomeo's barrier. The island-wide effort momentarily stopped the cage, but it then continued shrinking so everyone refused to stop pushing. Once Luffy defeated Doflamingo and brought down the Torikago, Robin smiled as Luffy's victory was announced to Dressrosa.
After Doflamingos Defeat
Robin and her group were later seen resting and recovering in Kyros' old house. Sabo told Robin that he would be leaving Dressrosa since CP0 was coming back for the revolutionaries. After Sabo told his story and gave Zoro a vivre card for Luffy, Robin bid Sabo farewell. Three days after Doflamingo's defeat, Robin and the other Straw Hats continued with their recovery. They were eating a meal as they heard the rumor about Rebecca's father. Bartolomeo then entered the house and informed them that the Marines were mobilized to pursue the Straw Hats. He also explained that there is an escape route planned for them. When the Marines were about to storm Kyros' house, Robin and the others fled. After Luffy separated from the group to take care of unfinished business, Robin's group went to the eastern port. While waiting for Luffy, they saw Issho approaching. When Issho prepared to attack them with all the rubble from Dressrosa, the Straw Hats and their allies quickly fled to the escape ship. At that moment, Luffy arrived and attacked Issho. During the clash, Issho used his gravity ability to blow away Luffy, who was then caught by Hajrudin. The Straw Hats and their allies quickly fled across a bridge leading to a gigantic ship in the distance. Issho prepared to drop the rubble on them but was obstructed by the Dressrosa citizens who were pretending to chase after the pirates. They eventually reached Orlumbus' flagship, the Yonta Maria. The following then pledged their allegiance to the Straw Hats: Cavendish of the Beautiful Pirates (including Suleiman), Bartolomeo of the Barto Club, Sai of the Happo Navy, Ideo of the XXX Gym Martial Arts Alliance (including Blue Gilly, Abdullah, and Jeet), Leo of the Tontatta Tribe, Hajrudin of the Giant Warrior Pirates, and Orlumbus of the Yonta Maria Grand Fleet. After the Straw Hat fleet was formed, the Straw Hats and company held a feast to celebrate their victory over Doflamingo. After the feast, each of the leading allies received Luffy's vivre card and parted ways. Bartolomeo then brought the Straw Hats, the samurais, and Law to his ship, the Going Luffy-senpai. After Zoro noticed the Straw Hats' increase in bounty from a newspaper, Bartolomeo proudly showed Luffy's group their new wanted posters.
Whole Cake Island Saga
Zou Arc
Encounter With The Mink Tribe
During a hail storm, Robin learned that the Barto Club does not have a navigator, lacks experience in sailing, and usually called a granny who gives them useless advice. However, Robin was amused at the Barto Club's antics. After one week of traversing through the dangers of the New World, the ship finally arrived at Zou. After finding the Thousand Sunny, the Barto Club bid Luffy's group farewell. Proceeding to search for Sanji's group, they climbed the giant elephant's left hind leg with a dragon that Kanjuro conjured. After the samurais explained that they were also searching for their ninja comrade, Raizo, the group saw something dropping towards them. The falling monkey mink hit Kin'emon and Kanjuro, causing them to fall off the dragon. Despite being separated from the group, the samurais assured the Straw Hats that they were alright and will catch up to them eventually. The rest of the group considered turning back for them, but after they saw the dragon struggling to climb, they decided to continue towards the top. Once they reached the top, the dragon turned back into a drawing, much to Robin's sorrow. They later entered a village and Luffy ran ahead of the group. While exploring the village, they saw signs of a recent attack before encountering two people from the Mink Tribe. Right after a brief scuffle between Carrot and Zoro, Wanda and Carrot proceeded to leave in a hurry to deal with an intruder at the Whale's Forest. Before leaving, Wanda explained to Robin's group about where to find a "corpse" of their comrade. Robin and the others thought that Wanda was saying the other Straw Hat members died, and Robin even made some morbid comments about it. However, they did not actually believe that to be true and they continued exploring the island. As they explored the Mink Tribe's civilization, they found it completely deserted with more signs of a recent battle. During their exploration at Kurau City, the group experienced an eruption rain and they fled to higher ground. Once the rain passed, they surmised that it is a daily occurrence based on how the city is built. Right after Usopp spotted Luffy with Carrot and Wanda, Law teleported the group close to their location. Wanda then led them into Right Belly Fortress, where they reunited with Nami and Chopper. While having a feast with the Mink Tribe, Robin and the group were reunited with Brook, who explained that Momonosuke was safe but refused to leave his room. He also warned the group not to mention samurai or the Wano Country. Before he could explain the reason, he was interrupted by canine minks. Robin then listened to Nami and Chopper's story about how they escaped the Big Mom Pirates before listening to Wanda's story about how Nami's group saved the Mink Tribe. After hearing that Prince Inuarashi awakened from his coma and wanted to meet Zou's benefactors, Robin and her group went to meet him. On the way, Wanda began to explain to them about Jack's attack on Zou in more detail. During her explanation, Wanda revealed that Jack was searching for a Wano ninja known as Raizo. After Wanda finished with her recollection, Brook explained to his crew the reason why they should not mention samurai or the Wano Country. They then arrived at the duke's home where they were introduced to Shishilian, who expressed his gratitude to the crew. After entering the duke's home, they heard about a weapon Jack used against the Mink Tribe. After Wanda recalled the devastation caused by Jack and the Mink Tribe's salvation, the Straw Hats decided to visit Nekomamushi and the Guardians. They then traveled to the Whale Forest with Wanda and Carrot. As Brook sang about Nekomamushi, Robin asked if Nekomamushi is like what Brook described, but Brook replied that he was singing about how he imagined the ruler. After hearing about the circumstances concerning Sanji's departure from Zou, Robin vaguely remembered the name 'Vinsmoke'. Nami apologized for not holding Sanji back before the rest of the crew arrived, but Robin assured her that they had no choice in the matter. Luffy decided to find Sanji, but his crew reminded him that they cannot invade Big Mom's domain without a strategy, and Robin said that as an Emperor, Big Mom is on a completely different level than any of their past opponents. After arriving at the Whale Forest, Robin, Chopper, Brook, and Usopp paid Nekomamushi a visit. As Nekomamushi partied with Luffy and his group, Robin, Franky, and Brook stood guard outside Zou's gates, planning to stop Kin'emon and Kanjuro from entering. However, by the time they arrived the next morning, Robin, Franky, and Brook already fell asleep, and went unnoticed by those they planned to meet as Kanjuro's living art overshadowed them.
Revelations And A New Alliance
When they woke up, the trio realized that Kin'emon and Kanjuro went passed them and they quickly ran back to the Mokomo Dukedom, fearing what would happen if the Mink Tribe met the samurais. The Straw Hats managed to intercept Kin'emon, Kanjuro, and Momonosuke just as they arrived at Kurau City and tried desperately to keep them hidden. However, as Nekomamushi and Inuarashi were fighting, Kin'emon and Kanjuro revealed themselves. Contrary to what the Straw Hats expected, the Mink Tribe welcomed the samurais and revealed that Raizo is safe. The Straw Hats were stunned to learn that the minks knew about Raizo all along and went to great lengths to keep him hidden despite the abuse they suffered. The Straw Hats were further astonished when Kin'emon revealed that Momonosuke was not his son, but rather the heir to the daimyo of Kuri. Nekomamushi and Inuarashi then took the Straw Hats, Law, and the samurais to Raizo's location. In a secret room inside the whale-shaped tree, they saw Raizo tied to a red poneglyph. Robin noted its color and got permission from Inuarashi to read it. When Robin deciphered the red poneglyph, Inuarashi then explained to the Straw Hats about the four Road Poneglyphs and they listened in anticipation as he revealed how they can lead to Laugh Tale. After Nekomamushi revealed that Kaidou and Big Mom each possessed one Road Poneglyph, he expressed his concern for Robin as there will be people who would come after her for her ability to read poneglyphs. Robin expressed her confidence that her crewmates can protect her. Robin then inquired the two rulers about their knowledge of the poneglyphs and the Straw Hats were surprised when Nekomamushi revealed that Momonosuke's ancestors created the poneglyphs. However, the samurais explained that Momonosuke never inherited the knowledge of the poneglyphs due to the execution of Lord Kouzuki Oden at the hands of Kaidou and the shogun of Wano. The Straw Hats also learned that Oden was part of Roger's crew and had been on Laugh Tale with him as well as the Beasts Pirates' objective in obtaining the secret that Oden knew. Right after Luffy agreed to form an alliance with the samurais and Mink Tribe, the group left the secret room. Afterwards, Robin and the others learned that Inuarashi and Nekomamuhi traveled with Oden and had been on the ships of both Whitebeard and Roger. Robin also helped explain to Luffy about the war between the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates one year after the Summit War of Marineford, which ended with the Whitebeard Pirates being defeated and forced into hiding. The alliance decided to split up to accomplish different tasks and meet up again at Wano. Robin asked Luffy to make a copy of the poneglyph in Big Mom's possession. However, before they could start their operation, they felt Zou shaking and heard Zunesha crying. As everything shook around them, they witnessed Luffy and Momonosuke's ability to hear Zunesha's voice. They then heard from Momonosuke that Jack returned to Zou and started attacking Zunesha. On Momonosuke's command, Zunesha sank Jack's fleet with one blow. With the threat of Jack ended, everyone became calm again. While the samurai-pirate-mink alliance prepared to get on with their missions, Robin informed Franky that there are wild Den Den Mushis in the forest. As the Sanji retrieval team departed from Zou, everyone, except for the Straw Hat members left behind, were shocked when Luffy jumped off Zunesha with his party.
Wano Country Saga
Wano Country Arc
Infiltration In Wano Country
Robin and her group later infiltrated Wano. While residing in Oden Castle in Kuri, Kin'emon told the crew to avoid drawing attention until the alliance was ready to strike. While incognito, Robin worked as a geisha in order to get closer to the shogun so she could gather information on his forces. During a dancing performance, Robin listened in on a conversation between Kyoshiro and another man as they talked about the Kouzuki Family and a prophecy. She later read the news of Luffy's fight with Kaidou and was greatly shocked. After Sanji opened up a soba noodle stand, Robin, Franky, and Usopp visited him and ate soba noodles together. Later, some thugs from the Kyoshiro Family came and provoked Sanji. Robin and Usopp backed away as Sanji and Franky defeated the thugs. The group then got acquainted with a girl named Toko, a kamuro for the courtesan Komurasaki. After the girl left, the old woman that Robin was training under appeared and informed Robin that she had been summoned to Orochi's sitting room.
Chaos And Complications
Robin later attended Orochi's banquet and performed alongside other geishas. While Orochi was busy with his banquet, Robin sneaked around in the castle. While she was searching one of the rooms, she was caught by the Orochi Oniwabanshu. The captain Fukurokuju then came in and gave Robin a chance to explain herself. After Robin claimed to be Ushimitsu Kozо, Fukurokuju ordered his ninjas to capture her. However, the Robin they attacked was a duplicate created by her Devil Fruit powers. The real Robin contacted Nami and Shinobu through Den Den Mushi and informed them that she had been discovered and warned them about the ninjas. Robin then went back to the banquet where Orochi told her to come talk to him. Robin asked him about Onigashima before he devoted his attention to Komurasaki. She listened as Orochi cautioned the guests at his banquet about the prophesied resurrection of Oden's Nine Red Scabbards. Toko overheard the other guests making fun of him and was unable to stop herself from laughing. Orochi then attacked her with his sword, and when Komurasaki stepped in to defend her, Robin carried Toko away. While running from the beserk shogun, Robin was once again confronted by the Orochi Oniwabanshu. Toko begged Robin to help Komurasaki, but Robin was more preoccupied with protecting her. Brook came to assist Robin by scaring Orochi's ninjas with his spirit form, which gave her the opening to repel the ninjas with her Mil Fleur: Gigantesco Mano technique. Robin was then shocked to witness Kyoshiro striking down Komurasaki. Robin continued fleeing from Orochi as Nami unleashed Zeus in the banquet hall. After escaping Orochi's castle, Robin and her group dropped Toko off in the red light district before meeting with Kanjuro at the Northern Graveyards in the Ringo region. Robin mentioned about all the information she managed to gather, surprising Kanjuro. Brook also told the group that he discovered a Poneglyph in the palace basement. Since that Poneglyph was not red, Robin suspected that Kaidou's Road Poneglyph was on Onigashima. Robin, Shinobu, and Nami later went to a bathhouse. While bathing, Shinobu explained to Nami and Robin about Hyougoro and her past as Fukurokuju's subordinate. A Beasts Pirates squad led by Hawkins and Drake arrived at the bathhouse to look for people with the Kouzuki Family's crescent moon symbol on their ankles. Robin prepared for a confrontation as Hawkins noticed Nami hiding behind Shinobu and tried to fish her out, causing her to disrobe. Sanji got a nosebleed and revealed his presence, causing Robin to be surprised to see Sanji. Drake then came into the bathhouse and fainted from seeing naked women. While Hawkins was distracted, Robin's group took the opportunity to escape. Sanji carried them and flew away from the bathhouse. While flying, Sanji informed them that Law's crew were captured. The group then went to Ebisu Town. Right after Tonoyasu spoke with Kanjuro and Shinobu, Robin, Sanji, and Franky were baffled when they said that they did not know who Tonoyasu was. When news of Tonoyasu's capture was revealed, Robin and her group gathered to see him being shown on a broadcast. They rushed to Rasetsu Town but only arrived after Tonoyasu was shot to death. Robin then listened to Shinobu's explanation of the SMILE fruits and how the people of Ebisu Town were robbed of their ability to express any negative emotions. She was then alarmed to see Toko putting herself in harm's way by appearing at the execution site. After Zoro and Sanji started a commotion by protecting Toko from Orochi, Robin joined in the ensuing chaos and helped fight Orochi's forces.
Raid On Onigashima
After escaping Orochi's forces, Robin, Usopp, Brook, and Toko (who cried herself to sleep and was hidden under Brook's robes) snuck out of the Flower Capital. While riding on a boat, Robin held the sleeping Toko. She later joined a meeting with several key alliance members at Amigasa Village. Three days before the raid on Onigashima, Robin informed the alliance about the number of enemies they would be facing. She later visited Yasuie and Pedro's graves. Two days before the raid, Robin told the group in Amigasa Village that Onigashima's entrance is in winter. At some point prior to the Onigashima raid, Law told Robin his full name in hopes of learning more about the Will of D. Robin thanked Law for trusting her but could not give him the answers he was looking for. On the day of the Fire Festival, the Straw Hats sailed to Tokage Port on the Thousand Sunny to join the Scabbards and enter the battle with the Beasts Pirates. While Kanjuro fled to Onigashima with Momonosuke in tow, the Straw Hats learned that Kanjuro was a spy working for Orochi. As the alliance was attacked by a Beasts Pirates ship with long ranged cannons, the Straw Hats were overjoyed to see Jinbe arriving and joining the battle. With Jinbe officially part of the crew, the Straw Hats proceeded to take over the torii in front of Onigashima. The crew then arrived at Onigashima with the rebels. After disembarking, the Straw Hats received Beasts Pirates disguises from Kin'emon. Luffy and Zoro went ahead into Onigashima and while the other Straw Hats used the Kurosai FR-U IV and the Brachio Tank V to travel, Robin and Jinbe decided to proceed on foot. Robin, Jinbe, and several rebels later infiltrated the Performance Stage in the Skull Dome, where they found Momonosuke tied to a crucifix. Robin asked Jinbe what they could do for Momonosuke, but Jinbe told her to wait for the time to strike. When Big Mom later arrived on stage, Robin was shocked when she saw that Big Mom had captured Nami and Carrot. Robin then witnessed Kaidou announce his plans for his New Onigashima Project. As the battle on the Live Stage was unfolding, Big Mom attempted to attack Franky, but Jinbe and Robin worked together and successfully threw Big Mom off of the stage. Once the rest of the crew arrived, all of the Straw Hats assembled on the Live Stage. After Queen entered the fray, Robin and Chopper were alarmed when Queen used Excite Bullets on the rebels. Robin, Chopper, and Brook soon found themselves besieged by those infected by the Ice Oni virus. She was then alarmed when she noticed Chopper contracted the virus. After Zoro struck down Apoo, acquired the antidote vial, and destroyed Queen's Gatling gun, Robin commented that she understood how Zoro felt as she also saw Kikunojo's severed arm falling from the hole in the ceiling of the Skull Dome. As the Beasts Pirates attacked Marco, Robin and Brook began running into the castle. Robin and Brook heard Sanji's cry for help broadcasted throughout Onigashima. They went to the Grand Banquet Hall on the third floor, where Robin stopped Black Maria from hurting Sanji by attacking her with her Devil Fruit powers. After Brook freed Sanji from Black Maria's webs, Robin and Brook prepared to fight the Tobiroppo. At some point, Black Maria unleashed an Illusion Mist on the two Straw Hats. Brook who was immunized to it from his decades of loneliness in the Florian Triangle called out to Robin who started tearing up at the sight of seeing Olvia, Clover, and Saul "alive", though she soon snapped out of it and attacked the illusions with Tres Mano: Freesia, revealing them to be Maria's subordinates, Tenjo-Sagari, Nure-Onna, and the Number's Kunyun respectively. Black Maria then appeared as the two Straw Hat's retreated, and set the floor on fire with her polearm, which Robin dodged by hanging from the ceiling using Spider Net while carrying Brook. After identifying the source of her flames were actually generated by Wanyudo, the Pug Gifter running within the wheel of her polearm, Brook froze him using Cold Soul, before putting out the fires on the floor using Eisbahn. Now back on the floor, Brook offered to take care of Maria's subordinates, leaving Robin to take care of the Tobiroppo, which she gratefully accepted. As Maria mocked Sanji for his pathetic display before, Robin merely smiled, as she understood that he did it not because he was afraid to die or to betray her, but because he trusted her. She then used Gigante Fleur to create a giant clone of herself as well as several giant arms, before using Sea Dragon to grab onto Maria's spider legs. However, Maria fought back and having quickly realized that Robin will take any damage her clone does, she coated her feet with poison, forcing Robin to let go. Maria then used Marianette: Oshizumaria, using webbing from her fingers to restraint Gigante Fleur, before coming in close and punching with Oiran Knuckle. Robin soon dispersed the clone, before attempting to use giant arms to restraint Maria from behind. However, the Tobiroppo noticed this and blocked with Ikidomaria, before setting her new webbing aflame with Atatamaria, cornering Robin within the fire. As Maria took advantage of this and launched a barrage of attacks on Robin, while taunting her claiming that she was a liability, Robin recalled her Fish-Man Karate lessons when she was with the Revolutionary Army. She then sprouted a gigantic hand on Black Maria's back and attacked the ceiling with Mil Fleur: Fish-Man Karate: Giganteum to collapse it and put out the flames. She then used Demonio Fleur to create a giant demonic looking clone of herself to finish of Black Maria with Grand Jacuzzi Clutch. As Robin collapsed from exhaustion, Brook, who had just finished of his own opponents, ran over to support her. Due to the exhaustion from her battle with Black Maria, Robin was carried by Brook as they were trying to escape from the fire Black Maria previously set while Brook simultaneously also informed Jinbe about their situation. She later fully recovered and, alongside Brook, fought some Beasts Pirates. Unbeknownst to her, the CP0 Agents Guernika and Maha were tasked with her capture and when they later discovered her in the castle, she was carried by Brook who jumped off from the third floor to flee from them and the fire. Robin tried to understand why the CP0 was in Wano as she informed Brook about the fact that the ones wearing masks are in a class of their own, even among the elites. Both she and Brook then fell into Fuga's hair and were just as shocked as everyone else when the Kazenbo made its way downwards, igniting the CP0 Agents on the way. Fortunately, the Kazenbo created a wall of flames between the Straw Hats and the agents, giving them an opportunity to flee. After a shaking caused by Big Mom's fall led to the island to shake, Brook and Robin fled from the falling debris and ended up trapped in the basement alongside some samurai. Both Robin and Brook were later engulfed in the water released from Raizo. After the fall of Kaidou, she would meet up with Yamato, who introduced himself to the Straw Hats as their new member, causing Robin to point out how amusing he was.
A New Dawn In Wano Country
Later, while the rest of the Alliance was celebrating in the capital, Robin remained behind, descending towards the basement of the castle, looking around Tenguyama Hitetsu's kokeshi doll collections. When Tenguyama approached her, asking her if she liked his collections, she replied she didn't. After Tenguyama revealed his real identity of being Kouzuki Sukiyaki to Robin, Robin said that the Poneglyph in Alabasta Kingdom revealed the Ancient Weapon Pluton was located in Wano, asking Sukiyaki if this was indeed true, which he confirmed. He would later take Robin, as well as Trafalgar Law further into an underground entrance, and as they looked out of a glass window, he revealed to them both an entirely preserved underwater city that he stated as the "Old Wano". After explaining the origins of both the old and current Wano, Sukiyaki finally took them to the room containing the Road Poneglyph. Seeing him, Robin says that there is only one more Poneglyph, for the crew to finally reach Laugh Tale. Sukiyaki then told them that Pluton was below, and to get it back, the massive walls had to be destroyed, which, in other words, would open Wano's borders. Robin questions why Oden would want to do that, knowing the consequences of releasing the ancient weapon, to which Sukiyak replies that everything he said was passed down to him as shogun and that he knows nothing of what Oden discovered during his travels. After the festival ends, the crew gathers at the Flower Capital's castle, where she reveals to everyone that Pluton is in the country. When she reminds Luffy that it is a core weapon named after a god, she asks him if she would like to have it. Luffy tells her that he's not interested, which she expected, though she wonders why Oden wanted to free it. However, they are interrupted by Shinobu and Tama. A few days later, in the morning, the crew says goodbye to their friends and prepares to leave the Tokage Port. While she was there, she listens to Luffy, Law, and Kid's conversation, where she silently reacted to Kid's mention of a man with a "burn scar". When everything is ready to set sail, Yamato, Momonosuke and Kin'emon appear, having caught up with the crew before they could leave. She witness how Momonosuke cryingly asks Luffy not to leave and stay with him. Where Luffy gives the shogun a flag with the crew's logo, in addition to declaring Wano under his protection. After saying goodbye to the three, Nami planned for the crew to go to Mogura Port so they could leave safely. However, after Kid mocks him for playing it safe, Luffy forces the ship past the waterfall again.
Final Saga
Egghead Arc
After the crew departed Wano, Robin received the newspaper which also contained all of the crew's new bounties. When she announced this to everyone, Sanji excitedly ran towards her, so she dodged him but dropped the reward posters all over the ship. Seeing hers, Robin didn't seem interested in the large increase in her reward, and so she decided to give cotton candy to Chopper, who was depressed, to cheer him up. They then learn the news about Sabo being accused of murdering Nefertari Cobra, to which Robin sided with Luffy when he stated that Sabo would never do something so horrible. While some discussed what to do about Vivi's disappearance, Robin continued reading the newspaper, deducing that many things happened while they were in Wano. Here he noted how the abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea led to the creation of the Cross Guild, as well as Buggy's promotion to Sea Emperor. When Robin asked him if he wanted to know other names related to him, Luffy simply told him to her that she would leave him to her crypt; asking her to let him know if there's something she thinks is important, something she happily accepted and asking her captain to rest for everything that happened. Then, Luffy is convinced of his brother's innocence, and tells everyone about the promise he, Sabo, and Ace made as children, even stating the ultimate goal of their dream. This caused different reactions in the crew, where Robin was left speechless. When Luffy mentions that the only people he had also revealed to Shanks, Ace and Sabo before, Robin asks what their reactions were, to which he tells her that they all laugh. Shortly after, the archaeologist heard Franky mention that they only needed to find a Road Poneglyph to get to Laugh Tale, so she declared that that was difficult, since that Poneglyph has not been seen in years and there are no clues to its location either. A few days later, the Thousand Sunny enters a stretch of sea in severe winter weather. Meanwhile, she was inside reading, where she also compliments Chopper's new style against the cold. As she comes out of the cabin, she watches as Luffy and Chopper fly off the ship along with a girl (who was Jewelry Bonney). Suddenly they see a giant shark, which was attempting to maul the ship beneath its jaws. Franky, who took command when Jinbe went to save Luffy and Chopper, tried to save them with the Thousand Sunny; but the shark fires two torpedoes at the ship, causing it to capsize, throwing everyone into the water. There they were miraculously saved by a giant robot that pushed the shark away from the ship. The robot then picked up the ship, but to everyone's surprise, a woman emerged from the robot, disappointed that she had not properly programmed the shark so that the ships she destroys were saveable, where she then introduced herself as the Dr. Vegapunk. Although many of her colleagues believed that, Robin quickly doubted it, since she never heard that Vegapunk was a woman and that she must be much older. The suspicions were later confirmed by the female Vegapunk, who introduced herself as Punk-02 "Lilith" and not the main Vegapunk "Stella". The woman also ordered the pirates to give him all their valuables for her funds. When Nami wanted to refuse that, Lilith quickly clarified to all of them that she was not helping them, stressing that ships generally cannot sail there without being devoured by Sea Beast Weapons. Suddenly a group of these creatures appeared, where Nami clung in fear to Robin, who remained calm and prepared to attack her. The crew was then taken by Lilith and the Vegaforce-01 to the top of Egghead Island, the Labophase, and dropped off right in front of the lab itself. As they left the ship, everybody was advised by Lilith to use the Trancos to change their clothes before they headed inside the lab. The group then followed Lilith to the laboratory via an escalator. When they reached the entrance, the pirates were surprised to see how Lilith crossed the laboratory door like a ghost, although she only responded to them to continue and not be fooled. Then the five of them walked through the door without touching it, leaving Robin confused. When Lilith left, they heard a voice that introduced itself as Edison, who invited them to continue on the path. While doing this, the pirates saw the Seraphim S-Shark unit, where Robin immediately noticed that he looks younger than Jinbe. When Franky theorized that he might be a Pacifista, S-Shark attacked them with a laser beam. Immediately afterwards, the Seraphim caught Nami, but Sanji attacked him for hurting her. Robin then used her Fleur Giant: Sea Serpent Snapdragon Spank against S-Shark, saying that she wouldn't forgive him for hurting Nami either. However, the enemy used Fish-Man Karate to counter the attack and dove to the ground to attack Robin, but Usopp managed to avoid it. Later, Shaka appeared to stop S-Shark, although he also caused the Straw Hats to become magnetically trapped in the ground using the shoes they were wearing. After introducing himself as a Vegapunk, Shaka informed those present that while they are in the laboratory he can control them magnetically, so Robin deduced that it was useless to resist. Immediately afterwards, the Vegapunk asked everyone if the island seemed to be futuristic, something that both Franky and Nami confirmed, so he revealed to everyone that this technology belonged to the past. When Franky asked for an explanation, Shaka told them that a kingdom with the same technology as Egghead already existed 900 years ago. Shaka began to tell a theory of an archeologist who risked his life to discover the Great Kingdom, finding a machine that was manufactured on the same day as his theory had. Robin asked if the machine was built during the Void Century, and Shaka was intrigued as to how much she knew about it. When Nami also asked Robin about it, Shaka said that it might be painful for her to remember something about it; as well as telling how Ohara was destroyed, presumably due to the scholars' knowledge of the Void Century. After explaining about this period and that all traces were erased, Shaka revealed that anyone who knew about this information would be removed, though she pointed out that it was only a hypothesis. However, he asked Robin if that hypothesis was the reason why the people on his island were killed, which would mean that the World Government admitted that it was true. Robin then replied that the scholars only made a theory out of all the research they did, and asked Shaka if he could not learn the truth about the World Government himself, given the influence he had. But Shaka denied that, since all those affiliated with the latter would be eliminated. When Robin asked how he found out about the existence of that kingdom since all of Ohara's books were destroyed, Shaka told him that "Ohara's Will still lived". Shaka began to tell when all of Ohara was destroyed due to the World Government labeling all the inhabitants as evil people who tried to take over the world, leaving a girl as the only survivor. He also told that Vegapunk went to the island a month after its destruction to commemorate his friend Clover, to which Robin is surprised that the scientist knew him. Shaka then told him the story of how Clover became a scholar and how he was so moved to go to Ohara and see that all the scholars risked his life to save the books. This caused Robin to start remembering the destruction of the island and her mother's last words, causing her to cry and then confirm to Shaka that Ohara tried to expose the truth about the Great Kingdom. She then asked the latter what happened to those books, who revealed that they were brought to Elbaph by a group of giants, led by a man covered in bandages. The satellite also told everyone that Monkey D. Dragon also went to Ohara and how the Revolutionary Army emerged; where Robin was surprised that Clover also knew Dragon. After it was revealed that Vegapunk memorized the Ohara books, Robin asked Shaka if the leader of the giants was named Saul. However, the satellite only responded that he is currently in hiding, so it cannot reveal his identity, causing Robin to cry with joy and thank Vegapunk for not letting the battle of Ohara go in vain. After answering that he will be on the side of knowledge because he is a researcher, Shaka activated the pirates' magnetic shoes to follow him, since he wanted to show them something. He then leads them to a monitoring room, where they see Luffy's group with Vegapunk's real body, with Robin and the rest of the Straw Hats listening in on their conversation. After Vegapunk talks about the Iron Giant that attacked Mary Geoise 200 years ago, Robin comments that it was at the same time that the discrimination against Fish-Men began. She then listens to Shaka tell how Vegapunk built Vegaforce-01 based on the iron giant, but that he was unsuccessful in copying its energy. However, Pythagoras suddenly arrives and informs everyone that CP0 has arrived on the island, including Rob Lucci. Here Robin hears how Pythagoras tries to negotiate with them, but the CP0 just ignores him and then reaches the island. Later, the main body of Vegapunk teleported to where they were and asked Shaka if the "white warrior" had already appeared. Then began to tell everyone present about the truth of the Gomu Gomu no Mi; where he also starts talking about the old god Nika. Although Vegapunk revealed to them that this name was erased from history, he tells them that as long as there are people who still desire it, it will never cease to exist, explaining that everything is born of desire, including Devil Fruits. Where he also begins to talk about his hypothesis of the latter, leaving Robin surprised. When Vegapunk was explaining to them the process of creating artificial Devil Fruits as well as the hurdles that come with this process and implement them into the Seraphim using "Green Blood", both Robin and Sanji agreed that due to this uniqueness they would consider the Seraphim a threat to them. Vegapunk then revealed to them that the World Government wants to kill him, so he asked the crew to allow him to board their ship. Later, Vegapunk's six satellites arrived, where the latter told the crew that all six were going to come aboard as well, where Robin just smiled. Soon after, Luffy, Jinbe, and Chopper join them. When Luffy noticed that Bonney was missing, Robin realized that Vegapunk was not there either. Soon after, Robin overheard Stussy, who contacted Vegapunk's satellites to inform them that he had put Kaku and Lucci to sleep. Here Shaka revealed that Stussy has been her secret ally for over twenty years. When Zoro, Brook, and Stussy arrived, Shaka explained the situation: Vegapunk's main body was missing, plus the security system was down, which meant they were trapped inside the lab. When Franky asks how to find Vegapunk, Robin listened to Shaka explain that the Seraphim's attack caused some of his Cameko Vigilance Den Den Mushi to be incapacitated or out of position for him. He therefore told them that he would stay to observe the other satellites and workers on the island in search of Vegapunk. Then crew decided to help in the search for the latter. When Zoro wanted to join, Robin, Sanji, and Chopper wanted him to stay so he would not get lost. So Zoro and Luffy stayed behind to keep an eye on Lucci and Kaku. Robin later teamed up with Atlas and Chopper in the search for Vegapunk; where they then arrived at the second floor of Building A. As Chopper and Atlas chatted, Robin looked at something inside some pods and asked if it was Vegapunk. But Atlas explained that they were artificial organs created for transplantation. Robin then told him that she thought it was Vegapunk cut to pieces, which scared Chopper. Soon after, Chopper said that he heard a lot of screaming and explosions, which is why he was worried. When Robin thought that it must be the Seraphim, Atlas told him that this was impossible. After stating that someone would help Nami if she screamed, Robin deduced that Vegapunk might be in danger as all the groups battled the Seraphim. Atlas then suggested that Vegapunk might be in a certain lab that has been closed for some time, so Robin asked him to take them there; and Atlas agreed. Later, when York was subdued, the crew reunited with their other allies, where they used the satellite as a hostage and forced it to contact the Five Elders; while Chopper treated Robin's injuries. She later heard Luffy talking to the Five Elders, but when they asked about the situation of the Labophase, Robin cut off the transmission. Where she explained to Luffy that revealing so much information to the enemy would be disastrous, so he apologized to her. She then heard York crying and ordering them to free her or the Five Elders would destroy everything just like with Ohara, however, Nami hit the satellite while Zoro tried to stop her. Right there, when Chopper asked her if she was feeling better, Robin admitted it and thanked him. Later, Vegapunk then talked to Nami about where they could escape, where they wanted to use one of the other two logs that Log Pose recorded in Wano. When they decided to use the one pointing northwest, Robin was left speechless when Vegapunk said that destination was Elbaph. As Nami, Usopp, and Chopper attempted to leave the Labophase they carried Robin in a pod. Back at the Labophase Robin still appeared to be recovering from her injuries with Chopper telling her to lie back down despite the warning of a Buster Call. When Robin awoke, she and the group discussed how they could cover the distance needed to avoid crashing without the Vegaforce-01 carrying them. Jaygarcia Saturn climbed to the groups location and confronted Robin, which triggered her memories of the Ohara Incident. When he attempted to kill her, Nami and the rest of the group jumped in to protect her. When the group were brushed aside by Saturn, Robin caught them in her Spider Net. After the elder left to find the power station, Nami alerted Robin and the others that the clouds they were on begun to extend with Usopp and Brook both coming to the realization that it was done by Edison so their ship could reach the sea. Later, she was seen silently crying while listening to Vegapunk's speech inside the Sunny. Ultimately when the Iron Giant released a massive burst of sealed Supreme King Haki to send away the Five Elders and knock out the Marines, the Straw Hats and Giants used the opportunity to escape from Egghead.
Elbaph Arc
Two days later, Robin, Franky, Brook, and Jinbe sailed aboard the Giant's ship, the Great Eirik, and noticed that the original six Straw Hats as well as the Thousand Sunny had disappeared. Despite their efforts, they found no trace of the ship, leading them to end the search and continue to head towards Elbaph, where they hoped to reunite with Luffy's group. As they journeyed, Robin read aloud the newspapers for the Giants, relaying the account of the Egghead Incident, which stated that the Straw Hat and Giant Warrior Pirates attacked the island, and Luffy himself killed Vegapunk. A blurry image of Luffy bearing an unfamiliar "X" mark on his arm was also present, but Robin chose not to dwell on it as the group's focus shifted on events unfolding on Elbaph. It is explained that Hajrudin remained on Elbaph due to his brother, the so-called "Accursed Prince", as Jinbe correctly guessed that they were talking about Loki. The crew listened in shock as the Giants recounted how Loki murdered his own father to claim a legendary Devil Fruit passed down through the royal family. They stated that his betrayal had shaken the nation to its core, and that it took all of the island's warriors to subdue him. The Giants warned that freeing Loki from his imprisonment would mean the end of Elbaph. Later, seeking a change, Robin asked Brook to give her a haircut. Though hesitant, Brook agreed and managed to replicate her hairstyle from two years ago, with Robin stating that it was perfect. The ship soon reached Elbaph's shores, as the Giants then guided the ship to a rainbow stretching toward a colossal tree, with them stating that they were riding it to the village. As they began their ascent along the rainbow, marveling at the experience, Hajrudin and Stansen joined them midway aboard their own ship, following them to the village. With Broggy explaining Elbaph's layout, they all eventually reach the top of the rainbow, where the Sun World is located. Robin, along with the rest of the crew are completely mesmerized by the sight of the village. Luffy's group appeared not long after they docked in the village, sparking a joyous reunion with the entire Straw Hat crew and the Giant Warrior Pirates. Nami complimented Robin's new haircut, as Hajrudin introduced his entire crew. While Hajrudin states that feast has been prepared, Robin stops Luffy as she expressed her desire to find Saul, and to go alone. The rest of the crew, however, insisted on accompanying her, with Gerd guiding them aboard a Svarr. They eventually reach the Warrior's Spring, as they are made aware that Saul had fallen and couldn’t get back up. With everyone either worried or annoyed by the inconvenience, Robin camly approached Saul, who revealed that he was fine and trying to surprise her with a prank. While he failed to shock her, Robin was still amused and remarked that his laugh hadn't changed. Picking her up, Saul noted how much she resembled Olvia now, which Robin was happy to hear. The two finally share a heartfelt conversation, with Saul recounting the events that led to his survival as well as his scars. He voiced his anger over the lies spread about her, but Robin stopped him, stating she didn't want to talk about any of that, and simply stated to Saul that she wanted him to praise her for still being alive. Saul tearfully hugged Robin as he thanked her for staying alive. Robin, unable to hold back her own tears, happily confessed how much she had missed him. After their reunion, Robin introduced Saul to Luffy and the rest of her crew, with Saul and Luffy thanking one another for taking care of Robin. Robin subsequently declared that they all would protect her, causing everyone to break into tears again. Afterwards, Saul's assistant Ange, introduced herself and gave the Straw Hats a tour of the Walrus School. Meanwhile, Saul took Robin, Chopper, Lilith, and Bonney to the Owl Library. Once there, Saul revealed that many of the books in the library were actually saved from Ohara. Saul then introduced the group to Biblo, the librarian owl, who had been present for centuries. Saul explained that Biblo caused any book that entered the vicinity to grow, which Lilith recalled being an ability of the Iku Iku no Mi. While most of the crew left to rejoin the banquet, Robin and Chopper decided to remain with Saul, in order to further study the literature present. Sometime later, Saul showed Robin and Chopper the Harley, a book about the myths and legends of Elbaph, including Nika. Saul mentioned that as a result of its age, the book had many separate interpretations, and asked Robin to read from it, which she did. Later that day, Robin and Chopper joined Saul as he attempted to defend the schoolchildren from a "monster". While doing so, they discovered Wolf, the gym teacher, severely injured. Wolf subsequently warned them not to touch the children. Greatly confused, they all watched as many of the giant children began to sleepwalk away from the school. Moments later, more of the children began to collapse, and they all stood shocked as massive constructs of the children's fears began to manifest from the nearby forest. Immediately afterward, Saul chased the sleepwalking children out of the school. Robin attempted to remind Saul of Wolf's warning, but Saul disregarded it and proceeded to try to grab Ylva. Saul's attempt was quickly thwarted as invisible thorns around Ylva stabbed his hand, causing him to collapse in pain. Unwilling to give up, Saul equipped himself with a pair of shields, with the plan of simply blocking the children from moving forward without actually touching them. Robin and Chopper wished him luck, however upon being stopped by the shields, the children walked into each other, causing the thorns around each of them to begin pricking them. As Saul aborted his plan, Robin suggested hunting down the user of the devil fruit, but Saul reminded her that nearby flames (that had been started by Loki), would soon enter the children's path, meaning he had to stop them as soon as possible. Making another attempt, Saul equipped a nearby rope, which he used to lasso one of the children at the back. The plan seemed to work, until a MMA of Fenrir appeared, forcing the trio into a fight. Saul was able to defeat the MMA, however the resulting delay allowed the children to make their way directly into the fire. Saul begged the nearby firefighters to stop the flames, although they were having trouble doing so. Fortunately, a last-moment save by Jinbe extinguished the flames just in time, giving relief to all. Unfortunately, like before, the relief was only short-lived, as Shepherd Sommers, the user of the devil fruit, descended to fight Saul. The fight was over very quickly, with Saul unable to compete with the power of a God's Knight. Before he collapsed, he told Robin and Chopper remain hidden in his hair, so as to not face the same fate. Although Sommers nearly became aware of Robin and Chopper's positioning, his colleagues ended up drawing his attention away. Sommers went on to issue a threat to the entirety of Elbaph: join the World Government, or the children they had taken hostage would be killed. Sommers informed the giants that if they wished to accept his proposition, they would have to burn down the Walrus School and Owl Library, as a twisted way of returning to their warrior roots. Robin was outraged by the idea of destroying such valuable history, and despite the pleas of Chopper, prepared to take the fight back to the God's Knights. While Sommers continued issuing his ultimatum to the giants, Robin suddenly emerged from Saul's beard and used Cien Fleur : Craspedia to strike Sommers down from his position. While he was still downed, she used Cuatro Manos : Clutch in an attempt to slow him down. Robin was aware of Sommers' immortality, and in a clever move, used Cuerpo Fleur to send a clone to tackle Sommers off the branch they were on. Sommers laughed at her attempt and attemped to use his thorns to kill her, but was shocked upon finding out he had been fooled as the clone harmlessly vanished into flower petals. Meanwhile, Robin herself took the time to try to free her crewmates, but found Gunko's arrow material to be too hard to cut. To make matters worse, Sommers used his thorns to make his way back up to the branch, before wrapping Robin in a brush of thorns. Fortunately, a last minute save by Scopper Gaban stopped Sommers from dealing a finishing blow. The Straw Hats were collectively shocked to see Gaban as someone actually capable of wounding one of the immortal God's Knights. While Gaban continued to scuffle with Sommers, Nami revealed their savior's identity to her friends, further surprising them. Robin attempted to free herself from the brambles she was tangled in, but was told by Jinbe that Sommers' ability made him a terrible matchup for her, and that their best bet was to wait. Sure enough, Gaban was able to decapitate Sommers with a well-placed swing of his axe, leaving the God's Knight alive, yet incapable of acting any further. At the same time, Killingham and Ange were finishing up burning down the school and library, causing Robin to burst into tears at the destruction of countless irreplaceable books. Before they could think up their escape plan, the Straw Hats were shocked to see that Sommers was still alive, and had reattached his head to his body. Robin wondered aloud where the monster trio of the crew could be. Nami attempted to think of where she'd last seen them, but was cut off by Brook, explaining that they were still in Elbaph's first world. Robin then attempted to escape her thorny bindings again, explaining that she was unable to sit around and do nothing, despite Jinbe's objections.

Introduction
Past
Summary
Years ago, back when Robin was apart of another pirate group, she participated in the dangerous event known as the Dead End Race on Hannabal Island. The event was described as an anything goes competitive race with a massive reward for which ever crew made it to the end, which intrigued Robin. While she and her group did not win the event, Robin learned a lot from the race, but eventually left the pirate crew and began traveling alone on the run once again, in search of another group to be a part of.
Arabasta Saga
Postarabasta Arc
Episode Of Arabasta The Desert Princess And The Pirates
Robin as Miss All Sunday was present alongside her boss, Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, as the two attacked the Straw Hats in the middle of the desert in Arabasta, to capture princess Nefertari Vivi. When one of the royal guards, Pell shows up and prevents Crocodile from taking her, Robin uses her powers to ground Pell, then uses Clutch to severely wound him. Luffy intervenes, stretching out and throwing Vivi atop the crab Hasami, while telling his friends to go to Alubarna, staying behind to fight Crocodile. As the fight goes on, Crocodile's Suna Suna no Mi powers renders all of Luffy's attacks useless. He then attempts to drown Luffy in a quicksand pit he creates, but Luffy manages to escape. Crocodile dries out Luffy's leg, and Luffy restores himself to normal by drinking the water given to him earlier by Toto. Crocodile impales Luffy with his hook and leaves him for dead. Robin simply goes to Luffy and asks why people with the letter D. in their name fight, and then saves him at the last moment and leaves. Later, as Crocodile takes the king Nefertari Cobra and demands to know the location of the Ancient Weapon Pluton, Robin notes that its location might be on the Poneglyph hidden in the kingdom's sanctuary, taking the king to it, while Crocodile deals with the guards and Vivi. In the sanctuary, Robin, the only person able to translate the Poneglyphs, discovers that the inscription is not what she was looking for. Crocodile then arrives, and she lies that the poneglyph only contains history. Crocodile sees through her deception, knowing that Cobra would not be so shocked to hear about Pluton if his kingdom did not contain the secret. Realizing he was unconvinced, she reveals that she knew Crocodile would betray her, and attempts to throw water on him, but he avoids it by turning into sand and stabs her with his hook. When Luffy arrives, he sees that Crocodile has already attacked Cobra and Robin, with Luffy being upset due to her being the one that she saved his life in the desert. Luffy fights a long and brutal battle against Crocodile, being poisoned, stabbed, and even having the sanctuary around them begin to collapse. Despite all of this, Luffy manages to defeat Crocodile with Gomu Gomu no Storm, punching Crocodile through the bedrock in the ground and sending him flying through a tower. Crocodile flies through the sky and lands in the main square, defeated.In the collapsing sanctuary, when Luffy collapses from his wounds and the poison, and Robin gives Cobra an antidote for Luffy. Some time after, Luffy regains consciousness long enough to carry Cobra and Robin out of the tomb before it collapses, despite Robin's protests about him leaving her behind. Three days after the war ends and Baroque Works is defeated, Robin, still alive, secretly rests onboard the Going Merry during the night as she remembers how Luffy saved her from the collapsing ruins despite her believing she had nothing to live for, this being the second time she was saved from death by a person of the initial D., the first being her dearest friend, Jaguar D. Saul. While she seems ready to give up, his words renew her resolve, as she remained on the ship after the Straw Hats leave Arabasta after saying their goodbyes to Vivi and Karoo, sailing of onto their next adventure.
Sky Island Saga
Goat Island Arc
While being chased by the Marines, led by Moore and Minchey, Luffy and his crew get lost in the fog and discover an uncharted island. They find that the island is inhabited only by an old man named Zenny and a multitude of goats. They also find a partially constructed ship on the top of the island. Because of his bad heart, Zenny probably only has three days to live. Hoping to make his last days good ones, the Straw Hat Pirates help him out and they learn about Zenny's past as a money lender and his dream of becoming a pirate. But realizing that Zenny has outlived Chopper's predictions the Straw Hats decide that after helping him finish his pirate ship, they will leave the island. The Straw Hat Pirates help the old man out while hiding from the Marines and working to get his ship into the water. With help from Luffy, Zenny and his goats were able to attack the Marines. The Straw Hat pirates then went forth to help him. They defeated Minchey and tied him up. Luffy, then, threw Minchey back on Captain Moore's ship, and Captain Moore allowed them to choose their battle location. Zenny decides to follow his dream and become a pirate, despite his age and they part ways, leaving the island and officially forming the Zenny Pirates. Luffy, then, pointed to the Marines a foggy area for battle location, which caused Captain Moore's ships to land in a shipwreck due to the rocks. With the Marines out of their way the crew sails off on towards their next adventure.
Ruluka Island Arc
Luffy and the Straw Hats are being chased by a small fleet of Marine ships led by Major Rapanui Pasqua and Isoka. Luffy and his crew barely escape when the Marine's Major accidentally sinks one of his own ships. The crew then make their way towards an island named Ruluka. They soon meet Flip, the son of the mayor and the commander of a troop who collects taxes from the people of Ruluka, The Collection Party and they find out the island is in fact ruled by a former pirate, mayor Wetton, that is over-taxing the people. Luffy, Usopp and Robin meet also Professor Henzo, who's doing research on something called the 'Rainbow Mist', sponsored by the scrupulous Wetton. Suddenly, a huge galleon, the Tarielishin, appeared in the harbor and Luffy and the others go explore it and turns out to be the pirate ship of Wetton Pirates. When some of the mist shows up, Henzo borrows the Going Merry and Robin, Luffy, Usopp, Henzo and Zoro, who was sleeping on the ship, go inside it. Inside of the Rainbow Mist, the crew, minus Nami, Chopper, and Sanji arrive in Ape’s Concert; a pirate ship graveyard within the Rainbow Mist. Robin explains that here beyond the Rainbow Mist is a land of eternity, with untold treasures where all of its inhabitants never age. When the crew is mysteriously threatened by the voice in the distance, they realize that the wrecked ships and treasure are guarded by five kids calling themselves the Pumpkin Pirates. The kids are actually friends of Henzo's that got lost in the mist over 50 years ago, along with the Tarielishin and Ian, a member, then, of the Wetton Pirates. Henzo states that the flow of time is different inside the Rainbow mist and the space is distorted, so Luffy and the others try to find a way out of the ship graveyard. Robin watches over Henzo later as he has a nightmare about his past with the Pumpkin Pirates. As none of the crew knew how to get out of Ape's Concert, Robin suggested to ask the boy hiding behind some wreckage, how they might get out, and they go with the boy to the Pumpkin Pirates' hideout. A young Rapanui saw the crew on their pirate ship and managed to see Pukau, thinking of him as hostage. As he tried to get his friend back, the Pukau tells him and the others that he is not a hostage and that they just wanted their help. Finally, Flip communicates with Henzo using a Den Den Mushi and as they hear Wetton's voice from the Den Den Mushi, Luffy answers and Sanji responds, making the group realize they are still connected with the outside world. As Luffy accidentally propels himself and Rapanui, one of the kids, to the end of the mist, Robin tells them they will be fine because everything in the Rainbow Mist is in a loop, but quickly disagreed because they were taking too long. When Henzo explains that they will be fine, Robin notes that one of the shipwrecks looks as old as 200 years old and the debris floating around came recently, realizing that the Rainbow Mist’s time is actually distorted. Nami then arrived with some treasures on her rowboat and asked where Luffy was, and after being told he was gone began helping the others out of the Mist. However as they are doing this, Mayor Wetton finally uses the Rainbow Tower to make a bridge to the Rainbow Mist and launches an attack inside it, along with Lake, the son of Flip and his grandson. As they are attacked by Wetton and his men, Luffy, returns to the Rainbow Mist by throwing himself and Rapanui trough the Rainbow Tower. There he fights Wetton, but the mayor manages to escape and blows the Rainbow Tower away. Luffy and the others, though, escape the Rainbow Mist onboard the Going Merry, with the help of Rapanui and the other kids who stayed behind to blow up a marine ship and give the Going Merry a boost to escape with the explosion. Outside, the Mayor gets arrested by the bunch of powerful Marines that were chasing the Straw Hats before, who turn out to be older versions of Henzo's friends, who were thrown 50 years into the past by the Rainbow Mist's collapse. The marines let Luffy and the Straw Hats go and the crew departs onward to their next adventure. The Straw Hats leave the island, and then a ship falls from the sky.
Dead End Adventure
The Straw Hats are now being chased by a Marine ship, commanded by Drake. Due to the stormy weather and Nami's exceptional navigational skills, the ship sails away unscathed, leaving the marine pursuant behind. The crew reach a town on Hannabal Island. Inside a pirate filled bar, they find out there is a great but very dangerous opportunity through a mysterious door in the bar. As the crew enters the mysterious door they are surprised to see it is the opening to a large tunnel. Inside they find themselves in a large cave filled with pirates, and Robin recognizes the place as she was here before with another pirate crew, as the site of the Dead End Race, a very dangerous anything goes sailing competition which the winner can win up to 300,000,000. The crew is introduced to the favorites to win that year, 2 giants, Bobby and Pogo, a Fish-Man and former rival of Arlong, Willy and the favorited to win, Gasparde, a former marine general who deserted after killing his crew. While Nami registers the crew for the race, Luffy gets involved in a fight against Gasparde's crew along with an infamous bounty hunter by the name of Shuraiya Bascùd, as well as meets Gasparde himself which of course ends on bad terms. The next morning, The crew set sail along with many other pirate ships for the parade start which involves sailing off a waterfall, fighting off other pirates, and navigating sharp turns. Before even reaching the ocean, several pirate crews are wrecked, luckily the Straw Hats manage to pull through with each challenge. However while checking the ship, they find a stowaway, a kid by the name of Anaguma whose come to kill them for their bounties, though find that's impossible after witnessing the crew's strength and power and thus sails along with them for the race. After a few more encounters, one involving the pirate ship of Bigalo the Hangman and sea kings, the Straw Hats arrive at Partia, the supposed finish line of the race. However it turns out to be a Marine stronghold that quickly sinks any incoming pirate ships. Robin then points out that the log pose is a fake and unscrewing the plaque on the device proves her theory as it points to the stronghold. Luffy realizes Gasparde rigged the race and the crew manages to escape the stronghold and track down Gasparde's ship using Chopper's nose. The Straw Hats manage to get to Gasparde's ship, the Salamander, just in time to stop Gasparde from killing Shuraiya. After Luffy knocks out Shuraiya, and starts to fight Gasparde, the rest of the crew board the ship and Anaguma reunites with his grandpa and tries to get him to leave the ship. Instead he sends Anaguma on ahead while he claim he has one last thing to do. As Luffy's fight continues, When Anaguma realized that his grandpa is still on Gasparde's ship, he begs the Straw Hats to go back but Zoro knocks him out and reveals that Anaguma is actually a girl, while this is happening, her grandpa causes the boiler to explode and make the ship sink. As Luffy manages to stay on the sinked wreckage and finish his fight with Gasparde right as a cyclone is coming, Luffy manages to defeat Gasparde and send him flying into the cyclone. After this, he is saved by Anaguma's grandpa along with Shuraiya. As they head for the nearby island, the grandpa reveals that Anaguma was adopted and her real name is Adelle Bascùd, Shuraiya's little sister whom he thought was dead. Despite the awkward reunion, the two come to accept each other. The Straw Hats close in on the real Partia as the winners of the race but the Marine ships suddenly appear and go after them, forcing them to flee from the island and forfeit their prize money. They let Adelle, Shuraiya, and Grandpa off then wish them good-bye individually before sailing off with the Marines on their tail. Despite not getting the prize money, and Nami strangling Zoro for his wisecrack about her leaving without the money, the Straw Hats continue on for their next big adventure.
The Cursed Holy Sword
When the Straw Hat Pirates dock at Asuka Island, Zoro and Usopp stay behind on the Going Merry to guard it, while the others head into town to restock their supplies. While in a restaurant, Nami tells the others about the legend of the Shichiseiken, said to be the most beautiful sword in all of the Grand Line, and rumored to be on Asuka Island. Remembering something she read once, Robin tells of the legend of the red moon, a terrible disaster occurring once every one hundred years on the island. To protect the island, the king was given three magical gems to use as a shield, and the Seven-Star Sword, an unbreakable sword, to use as a weapon. While they learned more about the legend of the island, Zoro is fast asleep on the Merry, while Usopp is issuing repairs on the Merry. After Usopp asks a still sleeping Zoro to kick down some wooden boards for repairs, a knife is thrown through the wood, nearly hitting Zoro squarely in the face, if he had not moved his head. However, Zoro is shocked to see his name carved into the knife. As Usopp climbs above deck to get the wood himself, he notices Zoro is suddenly missing. As the rest of the crew return, they are shocked to notice that Zoro is gone as well. Later, the crew are escaping a fleet of Marine ships, led by Commander Drake. They still have not found Zoro, but have no time to find him, due to the said Marine attack. At that moment, Luffy decides that they will look for Zoro. Just then, Nami tells the crew that they have to sail into a path surrounded by mountains. Despite Luffy's disagreement, they are forced to take said path, due to the Marines trapping them in a pincer attack. As they sail through the path, they come across a ramp which they are about to make contact with. However, instead of sinking, the Going Merry flies into the sky, while the massive Marine ships are left to crash into one another. However, as it turns out, Luffy has no idea where they would land, and as the ship starts descending, things seemed hopeless for the pirates. However, by chance, they bounce on a Hippo Rhino (which immediately falls in love with the ship), and the Straw Hats are sent flying into a river back on the island. On the Merry, the Straw Hats are searching everywhere for Zoro, when Chopper discovers a giant lake right ahead of them. There, we see Maya swimming in the lake, before heading towards a shrine, carrying three orbs, and getting prepared to pray to a statue. Just then, she notices the Going Merry, and realizes that it's a pirate ship. She escapes with the orbs after the Straw Hats notice her. Luffy decides to stretch in order to ask about Zoro, and Usopp is dragged along in an attempt to stop him. However, the two lose track of her without noticing, and she runs away, but not before being noticed by the other Straw Hats present. The crew follow her back to her village, with Luffy and Usopp getting lost on the way. Seeing the armed villagers, Nami presumes that the villagers are hiding something, which Robin confirms by looking at a few of the ruins. As Sanji gets in a fight with one of the villagers for insulting Robin, a band of Marine swordsmen assaults the village, led by Bismarck, Boo Kong, and much to the Straw Hats' surprise, Zoro. As Zoro chases after Maya and another villager; Izaya, in an attempt to steal a set of orbs in her possession, Sanji pursues the rogue swordsman and fights him. As Zoro cuts Sanji's arm, Sanji lies on the ground, Zoro steals the orbs, and leaves with the retreating Marines. Back in the village, the Straw Hats are aiding the suffering villagers, with Chopper making medicine and Sanji cooking food, despite his arm being damaged by Zoro. Despite their aid, Izaya urges them to leave the island at once, saying that all lives are important, even pirates. The next morning, the group, minus Zoro, Usopp, and Luffy are being served breakfast by Maya, and Sanji's arm has fully recovered. Again, Izaya tells them to leave the island as quickly as possible, but they cannot leave without finding Luffy and Usopp first. When she urges them to leave once they have been found, the Straw Hats question their reasons for doing so. When Izaya deduces that they came to Asuka Island solely for the Shichiseiken, Maya tells them that the sword is not the kind of treasure they think it is. Robin then confirms this by telling the tale of the Priestess and the three princes, as well as the sword and the orbs, which she learned from the ruins she studied before as the island was once engulfed in a war and the sword, absorbing the blood and hatred of so many during the war, became cursed, causing massacre and destruction, destroying the Kingdom of Asuka. Due to the ruins' deterioration, Robin is unable to read any further. However, Izaya tells the rest of the tale: The sword spread wars as blood begot blood, until the entire region was engulfed in war, and the seas became a world ruled by darkness. However, the very same priestess that had caused the conflict to start took all the hate that was stored in the Sword, and the priestess performed a ritual that sacrificed her own life. The princes, now grieving over their loss, vowed to atone for their sins. Then, they were presented with the three orbs, which sealed the cursed sword's powers, but once every hundred years the sword gains enough power to break the seal, once the red moon shines. After Maya explains her past with Saga, the man in possession of the sword, and his connection with Zoro, the straw hats realize his plan to revive its power, which would have been stopped by the ritual. So, in order to stop the ritual, Saga, who cannot touch the orbs due to the sword's influence, he had Zoro steal the orbs away. As the group try to figure out a way to stop Saga, Maya, being the priestess' distant descendant, states that the only way left is for her to sacrifice her own life, just like the first priestess. Despite everyone's protests, including Sanji, Maya has her mind made up, and everyone begrudgingly accepts her decision. After this, a massive spurt of water comes from the caves below, carrying Luffy and Usopp into broad daylight at long last. After the pair introduce themselves to Maya, Izaya, and Lacos, Nami asks them what they have been doing. After Usopp explains their trek in the caves, she shoves it off as adventuring, much to the frustration of Luffy and Usopp. As the sun sets, the others learn of Luffy's battle against Saga, while Luffy learns of Zoro's "betrayal", and Usopp confirms that Saga is indeed the wielder of the Shichiseiken. After hearing that Maya is going to sacrifice herself in a ritual to stop the Shichiseiken, Luffy prepares to leave, in order to beat Saga, which Izaya says is futile, as Luffy cannot even scratch the blade. However, Luffy proclaims that they will not know if beating him will work unless they try. Despite this, Maya is more than willing to sacrifice herself, even though she is afraid of dying, saying that she decided to do so in order to save Saga. Deciding to cheer Maya up, Luffy reveals the orbs, much to everyone's (save Usopp's) surprise, especially Izaya. Now that they had the orbs, Maya could preform the ritual to stop the Shichiseiken without sacrificing her own life, but Maya asked Luffy where he found them. Learning where Luffy found them, she wonders why they were in the cave to begin with. However, even though the ritual can be performed, it is far too risky due to Saga's forces. Despite this, Luffy tells Maya that if she believes in Saga, then she should completely trust him, and that no one can decide her fate except for herself. With this, He and the other Straw Hats decide to aid Maya in her mission, as they will use the orbs despite all odds. After Luffy asks what needs to be done, Izaya says that the orbs need to be taken to the three towers, called Komon, Tonroh, and Hagun, and then, a barrier can be erected, which will stop the sword from reviving. When Usopp reveals that he and Luffy saw the towers during their cave-trip, surprising Izaya once again. Eventually, the Straw Hats split up into groups as all three orbs get to their individual towers and the barrier is raised by Maya. Robin and Usopp decide to go to the Hagun tower, where they are met by Boo Kong and his men. Boo Kong challenged them to a fight, surprising a scared Usopp. However, he and his subordinates were quickly defeated by Robin's Veinte Fleur. She then tickled him and pulled his clubs down to hit him on the head, subduing him. She then pulled him to the ground, causing large pieces of rubble from Hagun to fall down on top of him and knock him out. As Robin and Usopp secure the tower, Luffy and Saga engage in a fight of their own, with the Shichiseiken merging with Saga and giving him a upper hand against Luffy. However, Zoro arrives to finish the fight against Saga himself, giving him another sword so they can duel. As Zoro clashes with Saga, he manages to strikes the finishing blow, destroying the Shichiseiken and thus freeing Saga from the curse. Lying injured on the ground, Saga regained his consciousness and smiled up at his victorious friend before passing out. Zoro and Luffy both pass out, with Luffy passing out due to being hungry as their friends come for them, while Maya holds Saga in her arms. With the ritual complete, the cursed sword destroyed, and everyone under its influence freed, and his old friend saved, Zoro apologizes to the crew for his earlier actions, with Luffy happy that he's back with his friends. As the crew happily reunite, Saga wakes up and swears to everyone that he will master the sword of justice for everyone's sake, as it is the only atonement he can make. Zoro then gives Saga his old knife back, as Saga makes Zoro the same promise, he walks away with his crew ready to leave the island. As the Straw Hat Pirates leave the island, Saga sits on a cliff with Maya, Izaya, Lacos, and Toma to see their departure. As the crew ready themselves for their next adventure, the Going Merry sails out with a Hippo Rhino continuously hitting it in a strange sort of mating ritual, with the crew trying to sail away from the smitten creature.
Open Upon The Great Sea A Fathers Huge Huge Dream
The Straw Hats arrive onto Shellfish Island where they run into a mysterious group of people looking for treasure. The same group is then ambushed by the Bayan Pirates' second in command, Zap, who captures the oldest child, Amanda, along with a sleepy Luffy, who apparently had sleeping medicine put into his food by Sanji earlier to make him quiet. Straw Hats visit Amanda's father's hut to try to find out where the great treasure is. They learn that the treasure island is between Mamanato Island and Samua Island, which is the island that they are on now. They also learn Amanda holds the key to finding the treasure. After this, the Straw Hats, Maccus, Bonney, and Amanda's younger siblings follow the Bayan crew to their main ship in order to save Luffy and Amanda. As the Straw Hats arrive to save their captain, Bayan decides to force Luffy to fight his own crew. This tactic was successful until Usopp manages to shoot sleeping pellets into the singers' mouths, stopping them from singing. As Bonney and Maccus board the ship and fail to defeat Zap, The Straw Hats then board Bayan's ship, easily defeating Zap and, using a combined attack against Bayan, send him off into the ocean, and rescuing Amanda in the process. The Straw Hats then sail back to the island where the treasure is supposed to be. Afterwards, the island starts to "open" and reveals itself to be a giant clam. Inside is a gigantic pearl, which makes Amanda acknowledge her father's drive for adventure, as they all realize that the island itself was the treasure that the map leads to. Afterwards Bonney and Maccus offer to adopt the children, as the Straw Hats say farewell to the newly formed family.
Protect The Last Great Performance
One day on a random island, the Straw Hats decide to buy tickets to go see the farewell performance from a long time actor named Randolph. 30 minutes before the play is set to start, 3 actors decide to quit the play, leaving Randolph's play shorthanded. Nami makes a deal with the manager of the play to participate as the princess for 100,000, and the other Straw Hats decide to help as well. As the first act ended up being disastrous, due to the straw hats' individual performances, including Robin thinking that the play is a musical and overacts while singing. Just as the first act reaches a disastrous end, Randolph, playing a marine officer, however performs a valiant speech which inspires the audience and keeps the show going. Before Act 2, Randolph finds out Luffy is a pirate and attacks him, due to his own past as an ex marine and the loss of his family to pirates. Knowing that Luffy was a pirate made Randolph angry and he attempted to fight him. Seeing as Act 2 was soon to come, Randolph decided to postpone the fight until after the play. Just as everyone was about to start the 2nd act, a marine commander showed up and arrested Randolph for selling weapons to pirates. This turned out to be a lie however as this marine commander Governor had planted those weapons on Randolph's ship for revenge, as the commander was a former subordinate of Randolph who once tried to sell weapons to pirates to speed up his own promotion within the marines and to make money, but Randolph caught on and tried to get him kicked out by court martial. Although he failed to prove his guilt, Governor's plans to rise the ranks were greatly halted as a result of Randolph's actions for years, with the commander now back to get his revenge and arrested Randolph. After falling into a cell, Randolph is freed by Luffy who tells him to go back to his ship and finish the act. Randolph refuses to accept help from a pirate but once they are discovered, Luffy grabs Randolph and fights through many marines until he escapes the marine ship and places Randolph back on his own ship and stage. Commander Governor tells the marines to fire and sink both the Going Merry and Randolph's ship but Luffy stops the cannonballs from reaching Randolph's ship. Luffy vows to protect Randolph's performance and yells to Randolph to hurry and finish the act. While Randolph is performing the act, the marines send two ships around the Going Merry to try and sink Randolph's ships. As the rest of the crew deals with marines, Luffy and Chopper board the main marine ship during the confusion and knock out all of the marines on board. Two other marine ships try to help the main marine flagship but each one is destroyed by Zoro and Sanji respectively. The Straw Hats decide to attack the main marine ship with Robin turning one of its own cannons against it and Usopp knocking out a couple of the cannons with one shot. Commander Governor wonders why the pirates are so strong and finally realizes that they are facing the Straw Hat Pirates. He accuses an underling of making the mistake and threatens him with court martial, but the marine says go ahead and threatens to reveal the truth about Commander Governor. Meanwhile, Randolph is just about to finish his play when he decides to change the last line. Instead of "I will fight until every pirate is dead at my feet", he tells the audience that the pirates in the play actually disposed of the cruel and greedy princess of the village. He says that he will fight against all who are despicable instead. He will fight against those with rotten souls and that even if your loved ones are slain by these evil people, you must forge ahead and live on. The Straw Hat Pirates defeat all the marines that fight, while some decide to ditch the cowardly Commander Governor. With no men left, Governor states he will not give up and will just lie on his reports to his superiors about what happened. Luffy then drops down into the commanders room however, and punches him through the sky. Randolph's new speech brings tears and cheers to the audience as his farewell performance comes to an end. As Luffy and the rest leave the island, Luffy yells to Randolph that he will be back to settle things and to not to forget about it and Randolph remarks that Luffy better not forget their postponed fight either as the Straw Hats sail off into the sunset.

When the Straw Hats drop from the sky after their adventure in Skypiea, they land in the middle of the marine base known as G-8, they are forced to abandon their ship, as many marines immediately spring upon it. Separated, the crewmates are forced to disguise themselves and try to find a way out of the base, which is comprised of a huge mountain surrounded by water, and then a ring of sheer rock cliffs that form a wall of sorts. As the crew separates, Robin has already made her way onto the base, eventually meeting up with Usopp and together they are shown finding his goggles as they spy on the marines. Robin uses her Devil Fruit to spy on the marines who are talking about the ship being a ghost ship and how the gold must be cursed. Later Robin tells Usopp that their main priority is to find out how to escape. As Robin and Usopp discover that the Going Merry has been moved, Robin suggests to keep calm and to think about an escape plan, but Usopp panicked, prefers to start to look for his beloved ship. Robin approaches the marine ship known as the Stan Maley and notices an officer that is walking alone saying that he's a general inspector. She attacks him and defeats him, then she takes his clothes and disguises to be able to walk around the base. As Usopp tries to lie his way into making Vice Admiral Jonathan believe he was the inspector, Robin enters the room and pretends to be the real inspector. Usopp is then put in the same cage of Zoro. Robin takes a map of the base and discovers that it exists only an access for the ships. Later, Robin is in the library searching for a way out of the base, noticing that the Marines are watching her closely. As the others escape and find their way in and out of a hostage situation, Robin later arrives and rejoins the crew, She gives Nami a map of Navarone Island which she obtained in the library. The Marines start shooting cannons at the Merry and start giving chase using warships. Nami refers to the map and sees the only way out of the base is the Sea Gate, to which they head. She notices that the water is too shallow and that the map doesn't make sense. They head to the Sea Gate anyway and try to think of a plan to open the gate. The Marines continue their barrage on the Merry while the Straw Hats don't have a way to retaliate since the Marines have confiscated all their cannon balls. Luffy devises a plan and catches all the cannon balls shot at them with his Gomu Gomu no Fusen ability and redirects them towards the gate. Just as the gate explodes, Nami realizes that if the Marines took all their cannon balls, they must have also taken the treasure they found on Skypiea. The Straw Hats decide to go back for the gold, as well as Nami's waver. They hide the Going Merry in an abandoned dock, since there are so many. Usopp uses the junk in the dock to disguise Merry as a Naval ship, and then splits the crew into two teams: one team to recover the treasure gained at Skypiea, and the other team to retrieve Nami's Waver. Chopper is left behind to guard the Merry. Jonathan tricks the crew into another ambush, this one in a huge room that is locked from the outside. Drake is once again leading the attack, with countless marines backing him up, and things look bleak until Agent Shepherd foolishly opens the doors and allows Luffy, Robin, Zoro, and Usopp to escape. As Nami's group retrieves the Waver and return to the ship, she goes looking for Luffy and finds him, only to discover that they still do not have the gold. Nami suspects that it's in the Commander's office, so she and Luffy go alone while everyone else goes back to the boat. Using the Waver, she and Luffy scale the main mountain and break into Jonathan's office. Marines fill the room but Nami uses her Thunder Tempo attack to electrocute them all. She and Luffy grab the treasure and head back to the boat. However, Jonathan is not worried, because at 9 PM the "fangs of G-8" will appear. What he means is the inner lake becomes so shallow that the Going Merry is stranded on a reef. With no water, the Merry is stuck in the mud while the marines mobilize. When Luffy commands the ship to go full speed ahead, a hole was torn in the hull by the rocks on the harbor floor, so they stop. The harbor eventually reaches a very low tide, rendering the ship unable to move. Jonathan gloats via megaphone how he had captured the Straw Hat Pirates. However, the Straw Hat Pirates decide to launch a plan of their own; they use Usopp's Impact Dial to launch the ship into the air, then uses an Octopus Balloon inflated with Breath and Flame Dials to float in the air. Jonathan orders his men to fire a "warning shot" at the balloon. However, Shepherd also aims for the balloon with his bazooka, only to instead miss and shoot down the Marines' cannon, with the Straw Hats escaping, once and for all. As the Straw Hats are seen flying towards the sunset. Usopp begins working on fixing the hole in the hull, as they continue to sail away from the base and onto the open sea.
Water 7 Saga
Long Ring Long Land Arc
Oceans Dream Arc
One night aboard the Going Merry, Robin is reading late at night while the others are sleeping. Suddenly, a mysterious figure appears in the ocean and plays an instrument resembling a seahorse. Nami wakes up in the morning, but cannot recognize Robin. Chopper, Usopp, Sanji, and Luffy also wake up soon after, all of which are confused as to why they woke up on the ship; their memories were erased. Usopp lies and says that he was a famous pirate, but his lie is seen through. The Straw Hats all meet at the deck and notice Chopper, wondering who he is. Robin explains that they were on the Grand Line, and that they were on a pirate ship led by Luffy. Nami then goes to her room and finds her logbook, finding that the notes were written in her handwriting. Nami decides that she must return to Cocoyasi Village. She escapes the ship using a Waver. Zoro also decides to leave, and jumps in the water and swims. Meanwhile, the mysterious figure watches from a hill. Robin comes to a conclusion and informs the Straw Hats about their memories being erased from them. In the dining room, Robin tells everyone left what she remembers of their adventures, but being the latest member, she does not know the circumstances under which everyone joined. She then recounts what happened the previous day and says that she heard a strange sound. With a whistle from the tea kettle, everyone with memory loss realizes that they all had the same dream about a boy underwater blowing into an instrument, and only Robin was not affected because she was awake. They reach the conclusion that the boy is the cause of the memory loss and that he may strike again that night, possibly taking all of their memories this time. Despite everyone being upset over this realization, Luffy simply figures that although their old memories had been lost, they would just make new memories through their adventures. Later that night, the boy stands on the ship's figurehead and blows the horn. Robin confronts him, waking up all the Straw Hats in the process. Angry, the boy attempts to blow into his horn again, but is confronted by Luffy for sitting on the figurehead. The horn emits a blue, sparkling dust that flows into Luffy's mouth. The boy escapes, but when Luffy wakes up, he regains his memory in the process. After regaining his memories, Luffy tells everyone what he remembers as well as their roles on the crew, but then tells them that he wants to bring back Zoro and Nami, though Robin convinces him to wait until morning. The next day, they come onto the island and immediately bump into Nami, and Luffy forces her to help them find Zoro. On their way, Robin comes across some ancient writing and, realizing the true cause behind the memory loss, and convinces everyone go to a place called the "Sea God's Palace". Meanwhile, the boy hypnotizes Zoro into joining his side. After reaching the forest, Usopp and Chopper end up finding Zoro and brings him back to the others. However, as soon as they arrive, Zoro suddenly begins to attack Luffy. As the Straw Hats believe that Zoro was hypnotized, Luffy tells the others to go ahead to the temple, while he stayed behind to battle Zoro. Meanwhile, on the way to the Palace, Nami tells the Straw Hats that Luffy and Robin are lying to them, and that they should go home. However, the Straw Hats decide to stay with Robin, and they leave Nami behind. Nami, however, decides to follow the Straw Hats to reclaim her gold. Upon arriving at the Palace, Robin explains that there is a legendary monster that would feed on others' memories to survive, and that the monster resided in the island. Nami and Usopp try to reach the Straw Hats, but are approached by the cloaked boy. Sanji leaps into the air and kicks the boy, causing the seahorse horn to release the Straw Hats' memories and also play a sound. Because the boy was briefly unconscious from the kick, he lost his memories. The boy, confused as to where he was, flees. Robin explains that the real thief was the seahorse horn. It tries to flee, but is caught by Sanji. Sanji beats the seahorse until it coughed up the Straw Hats' memories. Having regained their memories, they wonder if Zoro has regained his memories. Zoro approaches them, and Sanji is prepared to fight him. The seahorse communicates via Chopper that it still had its last resort. As Zoro approaches the Straw Hats, prepared to fight them, Sanji battles Zoro, but Luffy launches himself forward, hitting Zoro and Sanji both. When they wake up, Zoro reveals that he regained his memory when the seahorse coughed up his memory, with Luffy right behind him. Sanji was mad that Zoro still looked scary after regaining his memory. Zoro then jumps into the lake to chase the seahorse. After Zoro catches it, the seahorse uses his last resort: he sprays a gas into the air that makes the Straw Hats hallucinate people from their past memories (Bell-mere, Hiriluk, Kaya, Kuina, Zeff, Ace, and Shanks), then their past enemies (Arlong, Wapol, Kuro, Krieg, Crocodile, and Enel). The seahorse then steals the Straw Hats' memories, causing it to inflate and be able to float; claiming that it became a Sennenryu. Despite having lost all of his memories, Luffy decides that he wants to ride the seahorse and unintentionally uses his Devil Fruit powers to fly into it and wrap his arms around it. This causes the seahorse to return Luffy's memories, so he beats up the seahorse until everyone's memory returns and sends it flying off the island. As the crew comes down to the village thinking they will be rewarded for getting everyone's memories back, they are instead attacked. Drim, the boy who carried the seahorse around, misinterpreted the situation and thought the Straw Hat Pirates were the ones who took everyone's memories and warned the entire village, so the crew is forced to rush back to the ship and leave.
Baron Omatsuri And The Secret Island
On a calm day, the Straw Hats receive a message in a bottle advertising Omatsuri Island as a resort, promising spas and salons, good food, and many beautiful women, with Grand Line Pirates being especially welcome, the stronger the better. The crew are delighted at their luck, and Luffy decides that this is an opportunity they could not ignore. They set a course for the island. When they reach the island, they see an uninhabited jungle but the crew follow strange sounds throughout the jungle, which leads them directly to the resort, and they are in awe by its dazzling rides and attractions. Soon, the owner of the island, Baron Omatsuri comes out on an elephant with a small talking flower sprouting from his shoulder to greet his guests. The crew notices the flower, and also notice that the dancers and performers, all have a small plants sprouting out of their heads as well. As the Baron welcomes the crew to his island and says they are welcome to enjoy all the delights he is offering, Luffy and the others are happy to hear this, but first he suggests that they prove their worth by taking part in a competition called the 'Trial of Hell, which he explains is similar to the Davy Back Fight. Despite the crew being unsure whether or not to consider the trial, Luffy is filled with excitement by this challenge, saying that it might be fun, and that his friends are capable of handling any trial, officially excepting the proposal. As he accepts the proposal, the plaza they are in mechanically converts into an enormous round pool with a platform in the middle, as the first competition is goldfish catching, with the rules being that the winning team will be the one who catches the most goldfish in three minutes using only the net they are given, which is about three inches long and made of water-soluble tissue paper. When Usopp volunteers to take on the challenge, he immediately changes his mind when he sees his opponent, Muchigoro and the massive goldfish that they have to catch, Rosario. As Nami, Sanji, Zoro and Luffy all try to catch the giant fish using their normal attacks, but only succeed in breaking the tiny net. Just as they decide that it's an impossible task, Muchigoro takes his turn. He reveals that he was hiding a net big enough to catch Rosario all along, much to the crew's fury. He calls Rosario into his net and flings him toward his prize bucket, with Robin intervening with her powers to bounce the fish back into the platform, where Chopper knocks him into own bucket using his Guard Point, just as the time limit ends. The Baron is furious at the Straw Hats for beating him, as well as insulting him and Muchigoro. He demands that they compete in another challenge. Nami had been hoping for a chance to relax at this island, and refuses on behalf of the rest. Luffy, however, overrules as before, having enjoyed the first trial and is looking forward to more. Nami, furious, tries to lead the crew back to the ship, but the forest seems to move around them and they become lost. Luffy, following them, continues to try to convince them to go back to the Trials. When they finally manage to leave the forest, they find themselves before the Baron again as he announces that they have arrived at the second trial – a complex game of ring toss, taking place between two teams of four people, each in two gondola-like waver boats. To win, a team must throw rings over every member of the other team. Due to being a devil fruit user, Robin was forced to sit this trial out, and wait at the hotel with Chopper and Luffy. Meanwhile, Luffy is waiting impatiently with Robin and Chopper in a large mansion. As he and Chopper leave, Robin watches the smiling flower on his shoulder. Seconds later, Muchigoro appears, serving wine to the mistress of the winning team. It was the island's rule that he would do anything she asked because he lost. Robin asks Muchigoro if he could drink with her, but he quickly refuses since he cannot drink while on duty. Reminding Muchigoro that he had to do whatever she asked, Muchigoro is forced to give in. Muchigoro quickly drinks his share as Robin watches. Finally in a drunken state, Muchigoro continues to talk to Robin. Robin urges him to tell her about this certain flower of the island. Muchigoro said he did not know much about it, but starts to recall something as Robin prevents him from going to sleep. He mentions the words "Lily Carnation", and before running away in sickness, also mentions about the it being at the island's summit. As the second trial ended, and the others came back to the resort, despite their victory, everyone was on edge and angry at one another, confusing Robin and Luffy. Robin questions Usopp if he saw anything that resembled a flower while he was gliding in the air, Zoro interrupts him and asks the crew where Chopper is. Usopp answers, but the question gets asked again by Sanji. Usopp answers again, but Nami asks the question again a third time, then snaps at Usopp and said that she wasn't asking him. As they continue to bicker, they are interrupted by the introductory drumming of the Baron as he presents them with a dinner party for a gift. The water pool near them changes and one of Baron's men Kotetsu emerges from below, equipped with two giant grilling spatulas strapped on his back. The flooring underneath him becomes a giant iron grill as the grill itself is surrounded by walls of flames. As Sanji and the performer engage in a cooking challenge, the Baron finds Robin trying to leave the performance, as Robin reveals to him that she was seeking the Lily Carnation, and that the goldfish gentleman, Muchigoro, told her about it. Robin then quietly laughs and continues to walk away. Later, Robin stands in front of a number of broken ships as the sun begins to set very low. She looks towards the mountain's summit, engulfed by thick clouds. Robin finally discovers that one of the broken ships belonged to the Baron. However, as she makes this discovery she realizes that someone is watching her. She turns around and finds Baron quietly sitting in the darkness behind her. The Baron willingly shows Robin the flower's secret. It was a flower of reincarnation. Robin turns again and finds a giant tube-like structure at the very top. She is almost rendered speechless, not believing that that thing was the flower she was searching for. The Baron's eyes grow green as the thing known as "Lily Carnation" wails in the wind, unnerving Robin. Now afraid of what the flower could do, a stunned Robin watches as the Baron readies an arrow and the flower on his shoulder madly laughs and smiles, its eyes blinking into targeting reticules. He fires, and the candle lights on the tables simultaneously burn out, with Robin disappearing. It is later revealed that Robin was taken prisoner and given to the Lily Carnation, where she is eventually absorbed into the monstrous plant in front of Luffy, becoming apart of it. With Luffy and the other pirates trapped on the island banding together to stop Baron Omatsuri, the Lily Carnation takes it true form, with the entirety of the Straw Hats now assimilated into it and the Baron. Despite an uphill battle now ensuing, one of the pirates manages to fire an arrow into the Lily, critically injuring it in the process, causing all the inhabitants on the island to become lifeless again, and a shocked Baron to lose his connection with the Lily. With a now enraged Baron trying to finish everyone off, before he takes a step further, Luffy steps into the puddle of the Lily's innards and strikes him with a death-rendering punch, sending the Baron into oblivion, and ending the struggle. With the Lily Carnation's destruction, everyone that was absorbed earlier returned, completely confused about what had happened to them in the first place. As Robin spots Omatsuri's goggles laying next to a batch of flowers growing out of the rocks, she realizes that the Baron is actually gone. As the five of them emerge safe and sound, Luffy smiles in relief and closes his eyes. The Straw Hats spot him and quickly go to see him. With Nami calling out to him wondering what happened and how he could lay there and sleep in a place like this, Luffy couldn’t help but laugh, as the struggle on Omatsuri Island was finally over.
The Giant Mechanical Soldier Of Karakuri Castle
During a raging storm, the crew searches a wrecked pirate ship for any treasure only to find a single chest. On the Going Merry, they open it only to find an old woman who hid there to escape the storm. As they contemplate what to do with her, even suggesting to put her back in the box, the woman tells them about a legendary Golden Crown on her island that she will let them have if they return her there. Though the rest of the crew thinks this sounds suspicious, Luffy agrees. As it turns out, it is impossible to reach using a Log Pose, requiring the use of a "Turtle Pose", which uses a small turtle that always points to the island. As they come up to the island, the crew hears a fisherman singing an old folk song about the Golden Crown known as the Yurari Uta. The woman explains that the island is known as Mecha Island and as the pirates get closer, they set off a defense system involving arrow-firing robots. When the island's leader, Ratchet, sees the old lady, his mother, on the ship, he launches a hand glider and retrieves her from the ship. Then, one of Ratchet's subordinates, General Maji, activates the robots, sending hundreds of arrows flying towards the ship, but Zoro deflects all of them. Maji then activates a giant fan to blow the ship away, but the arrow robots end up getting sucked into it. Though the metal parts being blown out of the fan wreck the Going Merry's main sail, the fan is destroyed while Maji gets his back broken by Robin's Clutch. Due to this, the crew cannot leave the island, so they decide to stay and search for the Golden Crown. They realize that there may be hints in the song they heard earlier, which Robin had thankfully written down. The two possible clues they find in the song refer to "the white snake's eyes" and "the two moons". They manage to figure out that the white snake is referring to a rock shaped like a snake head, but cannot understand what the two moons refer to. Usopp suggests that maybe it is the moon and its reflection, but that is wrong too. As it turns out, Ratchet is also trying to figure out the same thing, but he decides to leave the Straw Hats alone for now, believing that it is impossible for them to solve the mystery. During a contest between him and Usopp, Luffy breaks off one of the snake rock's eyes, and Robin realizes that they may have misinterpreted the lyrics of the song. Luffy breaks off the other eye, revealing an entrance into the island. When Ratchet hears about this from Maji, who was watching the crew, he freaks out for a bit but eventually calms down and decides to use them to get the treasure for himself. Maji then invites the crew to a party at Ratchet's castle, which they begrudgingly accept. As the Straw Hats reach the castle, Luffy happily begins eating as the crew look around the venue as the party starts. As they look around they notice that the entire staff are all robots dressed like maids, except for the Butler. At the party, Ratchet asks for the Straw Hats to help him find the treasure. Though the rest of the crew finds this suspicious, Luffy agrees to help. The next day, the crew along with Ratchet and his friends enter the cave. They pass through a narrow passage and fall down a waterfall before crashing their ship on land. Luffy comes across a beautiful lake surrounded by animal statues with light shining through the top, and Robin finds a pillar with the final part of the song written on it. At first, they think it means to say that it is time to drink up the lake, but they soon realize that it actually means that the Ibis statue can drink up the lake. Luffy unintentionally knocks down a giant statue of this bird into the lake, and all of the water drains away. At the bottom of the lake is a passage, which Robin, Chopper, and Sanji go through while the others stay to investigate the newly exposed surroundings. As Robin's group manage to reach the top of the mountain, they discover that it is covered with fossilized barnacles. As they investigate the temple located there, they make a discovery that literally causes the entire island to shake and fall apart, as the island itself was actually a Giant sleeping turtle. As it turns out, the song actually serves as instructions to awaken the island-sized turtle, with the island itself onto of its shell, which Ratchet reveals he knew this entire time, though he also points out that he still has not figured out what the Golden Crown is referring to, so there may still be a treasure. At this point, Ratchet reveals his true intentions: he will use the turtle to take over the world, which everyone immediately thinks is stupid. As his group manages to escape from the pirates, he activates his giant mechanical castle which takes the turtle and manipulates it using giant cables in order to force it to move, to advance his world domination plot. The Straw Hats gather together and break into the castle in order to stop him, but Chopper goes off on his own when the turtle starts speaking to him. The remaining six are caught in a trap, where they have to deal with Ratchet and one his inventions, a mechanized battle suit, which empresses Luffy, up until he easily destroys it and Ratchet escapes, leaving them trapped. The Straw Hats remain trapped, only to be released by Gonzo. He and Ratchet's mother arrive and beg the crew to stop Ratchet, as he uses the castle to take control of the turtle. At this point, Chopper learns that the turtle is to be awakened every 1000 years to lay its eggs. The island turtle starts moving, and when Usopp notices this, he starts to run back outside to make sure the Going Merry is alright. As Luffy runs on ahead, Sanji and Robin are separated from the others and are attacked by Ratchet's henchman Honki in a mechanic suit. As Honki tries to stop the duo, Robin watches as Sanji ends up fighting the man and easily defeats him and his suit. After which, the two catch up with everyone as they make it outside after Luffy defeats Ratchet. Nami's group, who had retrieved the ship, meet up with everyone and tell them that the turtle is going to crash into a nearby island. Using a combination of attacks from Usopp, Sanji, and Zoro, Luffy executes an attack called Gomu Gomu no Kaiten Ono on the castle. Luffy breaks the castle apart, releasing the turtle, yet Zoro and Sanji had to stop Luffy before he accidentally hurt the turtle. The turtle stops and successfully lays its eggs. As the crew start to leave, one of the eggs hatched. Luffy sees this and realizes that the Golden Crown is referring to the broken turtle egg shells, which are literally made of gold. They take one of the shells with them as they leave what's left of Mecha Island, but it ends up sinking into the water as they sail off towards their next adventure.
Foxys Return Arc
On the Going Merry, the Straw Hats find themselves dealing with a storm that keeps growing larger. Zoro and Usopp try to keep the mast in place while Nami tries to find a way out of the storm. As this is happening, Luffy spots Foxy, Hamburg, and Porche on a raft in trouble, and decides to pull them in. As the three stay till the morning, Nami spots the Sexy Foxy and the two boats dock next to each other. Foxy is then surprised to learn that his ship and crew have been taken over by the Fanged Toad Pirates, who then challenge Foxy to a Davy Back Fight. As this is happening, Chopper and Robin are seen on the Going Merry playing a board game. Chopper wonder if he should go check on the others but Robin point out the Porche will just chase him again. Realizing that, Chopper apprehensively throws the dice and moves his pawn, as Robin chuckles. As Foxy loses his fight one-sidedly, Luffy is upset that the Fanged Toad Pirates captain, Kibagaeru cheated, leading to an argument and Foxy encouraging Luffy to fight him on his behalf. Despite Luffy helping Foxy take his ship and crew back, Foxy betrays the Straw Hats by using his powers on them and letting them fall into a pit trap. As the crew easily brakes out of the trap, Foxy gets in the way of their escape with his powers. Luckily, Luffy and the others manage to escape and force Foxy to end all hostilities. As the Straw Hats leave and disembark on another island for a barbecue, Foxy and his subordinates attack in a large crab-shaped submarine, leading Luffy to mistakenly try to cook and eat the crab. When he couldn't, he throws the submarine onto the beach and it explodes, officially ending Foxy's pursuit of the crew. Despite this, however, the crew's worries were not over as they go into the nearby jungle, only to find a mysterious, sleeping man, who a terrified Robin states is one of the strongest individuals in the Marines; Admiral Aokiji.
Postenies Lobby Arc
Thriller Bark Saga
Ice Hunter Arc
The Straw Hats, onboard their new ship, the Thousand Sunny encounter a damaged ship, whose members led by a man named Stansen they decide to help, but who then try to trick them. They are then revealed to be working for the bounty hunter group named Accino Family, led by a man named Don Accino. At the same time, Salchow of the Accino family receives Stansen's report and tricks the Straw Hats into moving into a field of icebergs near Hyokaido, an area that is sometimes known as the frozen highway. Once trapped in the Hyokaido, the two boats have nowhere to go as the icebergs seem to move according to the Sunny's movements and lock them in. Meanwhile, the Straw Hats learn that the former Phoenix Pirates reportedly sailed into the New World but were heavily beaten there, losing the life of Vigaro, a crew member and vice-captain. Thereafter, they lost their flag to the Accino Family and became their soldiers-though only Stansen shows any "loyalty" to them. When their heavily injured captain, Puzzle recovers, he says that Stansen's decision "wasn't bad", that they will no longer be pirates or sail to the New World and that they will stay the bounty hunters' underlings. No one in the crew agrees with this, especially the very young and passionate member named Jiro, but the captain is not moved at all. Luffy, who was with Chopper on the Phoenix's ship to look on the injured Puzzle, head back, but the rope that was used to hold the ship close to the Sunny breaks in a rampage of several mysterious underwater "eruptions", separating the two ships. The group trapped on the Sunny are encountered by Lil, Salchow, Arbell, and Hockera. They claim that it's impossible for them to escape and that all the crew will die. Franky, however, gets the ship out by using a "Coup de Burst". However after this happens, one of Lil's flying fish manages to steal the Straw Hats flag. They realize this but decides not to find and tell Luffy as they do not want to get scolded by him, shortly before noticing that Zoro, who helped them by cutting through one of the icebergs, but got lost, is still missing. As they try to follow the flying fish, Nami and Franky leave on the "Shark Submerge" and discover that the icebergs are in reality being moved around by flocks of penguins. After they lead the penguins away, an iceberg is rammed into the Sunny and throws both Usopp and Sanji overboard, as Robin is unable to grab them in time, leaving her as the remaining member aboard the Ship, where she is confronted by Lil. Lil asked Nico Robin if she would play with her and started calling Robin "big sister". However, she did not battle Robin as she played a game with her and revealed that her family are bounty hunters. As members of the crew are being caught left and right, Robin asks Lil where they are being taken, and Lil states that they are being taken to Lovely Land, her family's base of operations. Robin then asks her if she would be willing to take her there as well, to which Lil agreed to. Later, they arrived at Lovely Land and Lil showed Robin her captured friends. She said Robin should be there too, but that she would ask her Papa to make an exception. With the Don having a fit and Robin then asked for some food to be sent to the captured Straw Hats, including cola, which allowed Franky to help the crew escape and go search for the flag. The newly freed Straw Hats search for the room with Don Accino's "collection", but they make the mistake of letting Zoro lead them, which ends in them getting hopelessly lost. While wandering around the Accino Family's castle, they encounter Robin and know she is safe. She departs, intending to let Lil show her to her father's room, while Luffy begins his fight with Don Accino. Knowing that Robin was going to leave after getting the flag back, Lil went into a greenhouse, saying it leads into her Papa's room. In reality, she lied and when Robin realized this, Lil had one of her flowers capture her. As Usopp and Sanji arrive and struggle to free her from the plant, when they finally did, Robin immediately saves Lil from the ice falling from the ceiling due to the fight between Accino and Luffy. Robin then told Lil to cherish her own family and leaves with the others to find the flag. Despite some trouble as Luffy and the Don fight on, and Lovely Land starts melting away before their eyes due to the Don's devil fruit ability, the Straw Hats and the Phoenix Pirates, meanwhile, manage to recover their flags, with Robin noticing that Lil secretly helped them all retrieve the flag. After this, Luffy and Accino's intense battle reaches its end, with Luffy withstanding Accino's heat and managing to deliver the finishing blow. After the intense battle between Accino and Luffy ends, wherein the Don is defeated and Hyokaido was completely melted, The Straw Hats then depart as Hyokaido begins to fall apart, while ensuring to put the flag back on the ship before Luffy notices it's actually gone. As they sail away from the area, with the defeated Accino Family sail away with the Don in tow, Campacino and the remaining grunts follow them and try to get revenge. Then suddenly, the Phoenix Pirates arrive and Puzzle challenges Campacino instead. While they sail off, Chopper is worried about them, but Luffy says to see how determined they are and that nothing will happen to them. As Puzzle promises to meet the Straw Hats again in the New World, the crew sail away from the once frozen area, and continue onward toward their next adventure.
Romance Dawn Story
Spa Island Arc
As the Straw Hats relax on Spa Island, they met Lina, her sister Sayo, and her pet sea raccoon, Nukky, who can shape-shift. Sayo is holding a notebook, and when asked about it, she decides that she and her sister should leave. This is when Foxy, along his loyal crewmates, Porche and Hamburg suddenly appear much to the Straw Hats' surprise (though Luffy takes awhile to remember who he is). While still miffed at his defeat since their last meeting, Foxy's only concern is Sayo's notebook. With a new trick up his sleeves, Foxy incapacitates the straw hats and take girls, and takes the notebook. Just as Foxy is about to have them all fall down into the ocean, Franky and Brook show up, and Luffy asks them to beat Foxy up, to which they do, causing a panic on the island in the process. As Luffy and the others make back up, Foxy tries and fails to use his new trick against them, and Luffy sends him and his crewmates flying with a Gum Gum Bazooka. As the situation dies down, the sister's explain that the notebook contain's their father's notes for creating a gem, and that the last clue to making it was somewhere on Spa Island. Overhearing the conversation, the owner of the island, Doran takes Sayo hostage, revealing that he was scheming to take the treasure for himself, having been the one that employed the Foxy Pirates and set them loose on the sisters. Doran then tells the crew to find the treasure if they want the girl back. The group panic over what to do until Luffy makes the suggestion of simply destroying the island much to Doran's panic. As the whole crew, including Zoro, begin destroying the island, an angry Doran decides to stops the bunch by showing them Sayo tied to a stake and a gigantic cannon aimed at her. To show he was serious, he fires a warning shot that barely misses Sayo. Doran then demands the notebook for Sayo's life. Lina tempted to do it was stopped by Sayo, telling her not to give up on their father or his goal, and managed to convince Lina to refuse giving up the notebook. The Straw Hats then proceed to stop Doran and rescue Sayo. Luffy, with Lina and Nukky holding onto him, jumps into the air, uses Gear 3, and preform his Gum Gum Giant Axe, splitting the island in half and sinking it, which annoyed the crew since they weren’t out of harms way yet. After doing this, Luffy shrinks and he, Lina, and Nukky land in the ocean. As they are being rescued by Sanji, Lina sees an x-shaped crack in the ocean floor below the island. After telling the crew this, they all realized that the clue was under the island the whole time. The heat from the lava soon makes steam form around the group and the reflection from the sun causes a circular rainbow effect. The sisters then realize that the steam is the final clue to make the gem. A few days later, the Straw Hats' continue their journey when Nukky flies in and delivers a letter to the crew from his owners. Sayo and Lina succeeded in making the rainbow gem and are living happily with their father who returned, alive and well, just in time to see the creation of the gem. They even sent the gem to the Straw Hats as a thank you, and while the crew gather around to look at the gem, it starts to rain candy out of nowhere, and the candy knocks the gem out of Luffy's hand, causing Nami to panic and demand that everyone search for it on the deck.

On board the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats read news of attacks on East Blue. Luffy said they would return to East Blue to protect it when Shiki's ship appears overhead. After warning him of the storm ahead, he came down to meet them. There, he revealed he has a Devil Fruit power to make any inanimate object he touches ignore gravity and float. After learning it was Nami that delivered the warning, and that they were headed to East Blue, Shiki offered to take them there and used his power on the Sunny. Together the two ships traveled to the floating island seen before where Shiki suddenly kidnapped Nami. Robin along with the others tried to rescue her, but by controlling the Thousand Sunny using his power, he escaped them, as well as scattering them among the fragments of the island. Robin found Franky and Brook and began exploring the island they were flung to. They happened to be on the sunken ruins of a city submerged in a lake with trees taken root around the buildings. Upon entering they were attacked by the local wildlife. A horde of army ants poured out of an entrance and rushed them. Franky prepared to fight but Robin reminded him that he was out of fuel. But then, a giant shark jumped out of the water to attack. The ants devoured the shark before it is able to hit the water and resumed their attack. Brook stepped in and cut them all down. Robin's group were later seen traveling across the desert on a motorcycle Franky made out of a giant Crayfish that he named Zarrey Davidson. As they approach Shiki's private village, the vehicle lurched back in fear almost throwing them off. Unable to ride further they walked the rest of the way. Upon entering the village, they find a large building where many hundreds of pirates were gathering, similarly protected by poison plants. They learned there that Shiki is planning to let loose the animals on the island into East Blue in a gambit to force the surrender of the World Government. They also learned that to prove the power of the animals he is planning a demonstration using a village on the floating island. Robin's group arrives shortly after, rejoined the rest of the crew after them suffering a heavy loss at the hands of Shiki. Xiao reappeared and gave them the Dial Nami left them. Her mother, who earlier had expressed relief about the animals being sent to East Blue, apologized for saying how happy she was for Shiki leaving for East Blue. They then played the message, and after hearing only the first bit of it, Luffy was angered to the point that he would not listen to the rest (the rest of the crew did, however). Back at Shiki's place, Nami is found to have in fact been attempting to blow up the plants protecting his palace but was overcome by the poison. Shiki trapped her near the plants and headed off to meet the pirate captains gathering. The Straw Hats arrived at his palace and busted down the gates and made short work of the guards outside. While preparing a toast to the commencement of the operation, the Straw Hats marched into the main meeting room brandishing various firearms and a new wardrobe. After a short confrontation, where Shiki called them simply a suicide squad, and revealed hundreds of men around them. They unloaded their firearms in the room, defeating most those gathered much to Shiki's dismay, then split up to defeat the rest. Luffy chased after Shiki, with Robin and the others helping fight off his minions and hordes of animals who began running wild in his fortress. Robin battled the giant butterfly Agehaguera, who she defeated by breaking its wings. However, she inhaled the pollen it spread in the air and collapses, which allowed her to be ambushed right after by Shiki's minion, Scarlet. Scarlet took her up to a tall tower with her unable to move or fight back in his grip. It tried to plant a kiss on her apparently falling in love with her. Sanji, enraged, quickly defeated him using Diable Jambe. Robin fell but Brook ended up receiving her thanks when he caught her. Robin then helped Chopper move a heavy supply of dynamite into the laboratory to destroy Dr. Indigo's biological weapons. After Shiki was defeated by Luffy, Robin along with the other Straw Hats escaped using Thousand Sunny, using Shiki's pirate sail as a parachute. Robin was seen much later on the ship as Nami recovered.

He almost drowns trying to find it when he thinks that it might of fallen into the ocean, leading to Zoro having to rescue him. Soon the rest of the crew have a emergency meeting about the hat, with Usopp stating that the previous night a strange bird flew in and out of their room, leading to the said bird becoming a possible culprit. As they all go out to search for it, Sanji, Robin and Brook are on the Mini Merry II, Nami is on the Shiro Mokuba I, Chopper and Usopp are on the Shark Submerge III, and Franky steers the Sunny. Chopper and Usopp find a ship, and aboard it they find a strange man, who passed out from coughing up blood. As they bring the man aboard the Sunny to be treated, a giant bird lands on the ship, with Luffy's hat in its beak. As Luffy orders the crew to go after it, a Marine ship mysteriously appears behind them. As Franky tells the others that they all need to head back to the ship, the chase is already on as they go through a series of glaciers, a Marine Blockade, into a cave, off a waterfall, and even into a nest of Sea Kings, with Luffy being the one most determined to catch the bird. He chases it into a volcanic region, as Chopper manages to get Schneider to finally wake up, with Schneider asking the doctor to let him see his precious dog, Buzz; who ate the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Eagle devil fruit, with Luffy finding out about this as he sees Buzz both in his dog form and his hybrid form. Schneider then reveals that in order to make sure his dog did not watch him slowly die, he gave the dog an impossible task in order to stay by his side; which was to steal the straw hat of Monkey D. Luffy. As Chopper hears this, he realizes that Buzz is the giant bird from before, and he informs Schneider that he is on the Straw Hats' ship, causing Schneider to spring back to life and demand that the ship go after his friend. Meanwhile, Luffy is fighting Buzz for his hat back, but the two end up crashing into a Marine base. Before either of them can continue, they get trapped in a seastone cage. The commander of the base reveals himself and mocks Luffy by holding his straw hat on the barrel of his gun, then shoots it gaining Luffy's anger. Before Luffy gets captured, however, Zoro arrives to save him. Luffy tries to get his hat back, but stopped by the base's three giants. As a prolonged fight with the giants leads to Luffy and Zoro almost getting crushed, Schneider arrives, piloting the Sunny as he has come for Buzz. As the ship crashes into the base, the Straw Hats use the opportunity to regroup, with Schneider apologizing to Buzz for trying to keep him away. After doing so, the three giants attack again, only this time they taken down by the Straw Hats' teamwork. After this, Luffy goes after the Marine that still has his hat. The commanding officer throws the Hat into the ocean when he sees Luffy coming, which leads to an angry Luffy using Gear 3rd to punch one of the giants into the gate that he is standing on, with the giants' weapon landing right onto the marine, as the gate begins to break. As water begins to flood the base, the Straw Hats, Schneider and Buzz all escape onto the Thousand Sunny. As everyone gets to safety, Luffy is still chasing after his hat, with it seeming like he will fall to his doom before he can safely reach it. However, Buzz arrives and catches Luffy, which finally allows Luffy the chance to finally catch his hat. Later, Chopper reveals to Schneider what was causing him to cough up blood, a fork that he apparently swallowed by accident and assures him that he will not die. With all that settled, the crew return Schneider and Buzz back to their own ship and part ways, with Schneider telling Luffy to take good care of his straw hat.

One Piece 3d Trap Coaster
As the journey begins with the Straw Hats escaping from cannon fire from a Marine fleet, Robin notices that the cannons are missing them on purpose. Then the leader of the fleet orders a Marine ship to come out from behind a rock and intercept the crew, bumping into the Thousand Sunny. As the crew recovers from the impact, Nami notices that the marine ship is mysteriously empty, till they all see something jumping around the ship and onto the Sunny. Nami recognizes it as a Kung-Fu Dugong, and tries and fails to stop Franky from attacking it. When he asks why, Robin explains that a Kung-Fu Dugong will become his disciple if he defeats it. The dugong, who was laying defeated on the Sunny's deck, gets up and swears allegiance to Franky. As this happens, the marine officer in charge, Trap, reveals that the dugong completed its mission and will proceed to capture Luffy and his crew. After realizing that they were surrounded by crew of Kung-Fu Dugongs, the Straw Hats are cornered by the Marines into an alcove of a nearby island, but notices that the marines are still doing nothing. Trap then pushes a lever, and a loud noise begins from beneath the Thousand Sunny. Suddenly, the ship is raised out of the sea, revealing the intricate Trap Tower. The Sunny is resting on the top of the tower in the hand of a Kung-Fu Dugong statue, and Trap laughs while taking a drink from a bottle. He tells them all that the bottom of the floor is made of seastone, and tells them to enjoy their trip, as he pulls another lever and the statue's arm sends the Sunny sliding down the mouth of the statue, entering the Trap Tower in the process. As the crew are forced to ride down the path of the tower, they reach the first trap, known as the "Cutting Hell", which is a large wheel of spinning blades inside of a tube. As the Sunny falls towards it, Luffy simply destroys the trap with a Gomu Gomu no Pistol as the crew falls through the tunnel into another one filled with seawater, as the Sunny begins to spin and crash into a series of waves, as the devil fruit user of the crew are weakened in the process of going through the water tunnel. Soon, they reach the second trap, a giant gorilla-like machine known as the "Hammer Hell" that punches large metal fists together in the path the ship is headed. As Sanji deals with the trap by destroying the fists, an angry Trap presses a button to active more traps at the end of the tunnel, including four harpoon shooting mechanisms, but Zoro deflects the harpoons, making Trap even angrier as he presses the button again. As Sanji and Zoro deal with the harpoons and fight with each other, Trap hits a different button to activate the main ride, and hundreds of dugong-operated cannons come out of the walls of a large room the Sunny has stopped in. Luffy, still groggy from the seawater ride gets up after Nami shocks him awake, and he goes onto the masthead of the Sunny and uses Gomu Gomu no Ballon to deflect the cannonballs. The resulting explosions cause the dugongs to abandon the cannons and jump into the water for safety. The explosions also causes debris to fall from Trap Tower. With the ride momentarily stopped, the crew discussed what to do next, as the Dugong that Franky attacked earlier goes into the water. Despite Franky telling him to come out of the water, the crew realize that they are surrounded by Kung Fu Dugongs, but want to avoid fighting them and accidentally making them their disciples. Brook uses his music to make them all fall asleep instead, and Trap curses them for harming his dugongs. The water in the room starts to drain and the Sunny falls through a hole, but Robin uses her powers to lower the ship to safety, after which Luffy punches through the wall and the crew successfully escape Trap Tower, but start to fall back down into the sea as a result. Instead, they fall onto a giant slide, as Trap releases a group of Giants known as the Giant Nine, with each one of the nine giants ordered to swing a spiked club at the Straw Hats' ship, destroying a part of the slide behind them with every missed swing. Luffy and Usopp manage to each attack one of the giants, but the ship continues down the slide. As the ship reaches the first giant again, Franky's Dugong reappeared with three barrels of cola it stole from the tower. Franky loads the barrels and uses Coup de Burst to launch the Sunny at the giant and Gaon Cannon to knock him over. The giant's club goes flying into the air and hits the tower above, causing the upper half of it to collapse. As Trap and his Tower finally fall, the Thousand Sunny flies away from the Coup de Burst, and Franky praises his Dugong, as the rest of the dugongs begin to awaken. Chopper translates for them and tells the crew that they want to fight again, Luffy agrees, and Nami slaps and scolds him while he laughs. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji prepare to fight them, and Nami shouts at Brook to just put them all to sleep.

Episode Of Luffy
During some spare time on the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats have a mock introductory show with Usopp hosting. Once Luffy's turn was done, they are interrupted by an attack from several Marine battleships. During the battle, the Straw Hats are forced to make an emergency Coup de Burst in order to escape a sudden attack from above, in the form of an immensely large cannonball. Crash landing on a nearby island, they decide to explore while Franky repairs and moves the ship. While Franky works on a way to move the ship back into the water, the rest of the Straw Hats explore the local town to re-supply what was broken or lost in the landing. However they all notice that the town is in short supply of everything and that only women, children or the elderly run the shops. Eventually Brook, Robin and Nami discover the site of a past cannon attack located directly opposite the Marine base. Later, Luffy comes across what appears to be a fruit stall on the outskirts of the town. Trying to eat several pieces, he quickly discovers that they are actually fake fruits made of wax. From behind, an old man approaches and quickly bursts into laughter over Luffy's mistake, then introduces himself as Diego, the man who had sculpted the fruits. Going inside, Diego is suddenly left dumbstruck as the entirety of his home had been blown away except the front wall and, upon looking over the hill discovers that it was the Thousand Sunny which had caused the damage in its crash landing. Apologizing for the destruction they had caused, Luffy is then led underground where he discovers the pride of Diego's collection, a multitude of life-like wax sculptures of famous pirates. Luffy recognizes many of the sculptures in the collection room, but after seeing Shanks' sculpture, he is reminded of his childhood and the days when Shanks and his crew had visited Foosha Village, which culminated with his consumption of the Gomu Gomu no Mi and a near lethal encounter with the mountain bandit Higuma where Shanks had sacrificed his arm to save Luffy, earning the boy's eternal respect and admiration. Later, Usopp and Chopper discover the underground section and marvel at the wax figures, leading Diego to show them how his particular wax was created. Noting a poorly crafted figure of Whitebeard on a nearby shelf, Diego mentions that the wax itself is of a much higher quality then the one he can create and demonstrates this by easily destroying his own wax by knocking the sculpture against it though notes that it is weak against fire. Asking who had created it, Diego admits that the man was no longer around and had left him to join the Marines, which was his son, Regis. Diego then explains the island's situation. Hand Island is an island of artisans that was once under the protection of Whitebeard. However, after he died in the Summit War of Marineford, rival pirates quickly set their sights on his territory. Marines quickly stepped in and built a base nearby which restored peace. Eventually, during mid-construction, Commodore Bilić was put in command. He called for a meeting of the townspeople and asked that they help build a cannon to help ward off pirate attacks which the people happily agreed to. Among them was Regis, who had joined the Marines to help the island, much to the dismay of Diego, who had hoped he would follow in his footsteps. However, once the cannon was completed, Bilic fired on the town as "practice", destroying several buildings and killing a few innocents as well. It soon became obvious that he just wanted the cannon for his own ends and used the families of the builders as his own hostages lest he fire the cannon on the rest of the town. After telling this tale, Diego starts to head off to the Marine base to give Regis the Whitebeard figurine. But Luffy offers to go instead. Luffy later regroups with the entire crew and tells them his intention. After hearing this the others draw lots to see who'll go with him with Sanji and Usopp chosen. The next day the three head for the Marine base on the Mini Merry. Once they reach the base, the marines open fire once they notice Luffy forcing Sanji and him to invade the base which quickly leads into a chase. Eventually, the two find Regis and give him the figurine but Luffy is captured in a seastone cage once he steps on the platform where Regis's cell is. The wheel turns towards the water submerging the two. Sanji manages to jump in and free the pair and they escape into ocean via a sewer fan where they regroup with Usopp. The four rest on a reef where Regis explains he made the doll when he was six. When he went to join the Marines, Diego tried to at least have him take the figurine with him but he declined. Regis feels that he disappointed his father for not following the path he wanted. But after seeing the figure and being told that Diego always treasured it, he realizes that his father still believes in him. Likewise Diego, after being told why Regis was thrown in jail, is happy of his conviction to protect the island. After hearing this, the four then notice that Bilic has started firing on the town, thinking the villagers are hiding the Straw Hats and demands they turn them over or he will destroy the town. Luffy's group head back to the base and make their way inside with Usopp and Sanji distracting the Marines while Luffy and Regis sneak in. Bilic, thinking the townspeople sent the Straw Hats after him, fires another cannon at the town but it's sliced in half by Zoro. As Zoro continues to defend the town from Bilic's cannon, Luffy and Regis make their way into the base and gather as much wax as they can. The Straw Hats fight against the Marines while Regis makes his way up to the cannon's barrel and activates the wax, causing it to backfire and destroy itself. Bilic emerges from the rubble of the cannon, obviously angered. He burns Regis's Whitebeard figure to mock Luffy as well as him then reveals he has a mobile cannon as a back up. Luffy faces off against him, but suffers trouble due to the cannon's speed, the constant bombardment Bilic fires into his rubber body and the spinning tops fitted with blades sent after him. His crew (along with some help from Koby) help take out the tops and Luffy finally manages to beat Bilic by getting in close enough to grab his snake puppet and pummel him with an Elephant Gatling, destroying his cannon in the process. Kizaru suddenly shows up much to the shock of everyone. The Marines believe he was the one who stopped Bilic and cheer for him as the Straw Hats make a hasty exit. However it turns out the Kizaru is really another wax sculpture created by Diego who made it on the request of Koby. Using the charade (as well as Diego throwing his voice to imitate the Admiral), Koby places Bilic under arrest and states he is likely to be court martialed while declaring that it was never the Marines' intention to enslave the island. He orders the Marines to help rebuild the island while Diego and Regis reconcile. Koby watches the Straw Hats go, promising he'll catch up to Luffy soon to which Luffy, seemingly hearing this, laughs in agreement. However as the crew flees, they realize they accidentally left Zoro on Hand Island.

Luffy spots the battered body of Z clinging to life on a piece of wood out at sea, and tries to with the help of the others are able to rescue him.

They decide to take him in, as Robin and the others wait outside. Afterwards when Z awakes and Luffy tells him they're all pirates a large battle breaks out. Ain and Binz then arrive with a fleet of ships and board the Sunny, announcing they will be confiscating it. Robin tries attacking Binz, but he proves too quick for her to grab him with her arms. Ain attacks the Straw Hats, reverting Nami and Chopper to the appearance of children. Robin grabs Ain and tries to hold her down, demanding to know what she did to Nami and Chopper. However, Ain takes advantage of Robin's powers, and touches her duplicated arms to de-age her to the appearance of a young teen. Ain explains she has the ability to revert things with a touch by 12 years. She tells Robin she would only need to touch her two more times and she would disappear. Z departs, with his army of Neo Marines bombarding the ship with cannon fire. With the ship being damaged and most of the crew unable to fight back, Luffy has them retreat. He frees Franky from his bonds, as he uses a Coup de Burst to escape. Robin and the Straw Hats find a nearby island to recover, where Franky goes to work on fixing the Sunny. He tells Luffy to go after Z while he repairs the damage done. Chopper regrets saving Z's life, but Sanji tells him a pirate should live without regrets of what he believes in. Zoro and Sanji both agree they'd like to get back at Z, with Robin also chiming in agreement. Nami tells him that they must track them down, or else she will never get her original body back. She would not be as helpful a Navigator to them without her full grown body. Robin comments much of the same, with Usopp telling her it must be nice being 18 again and having everything in the 'right place'. She grabs Usopp and tortures him for that comment. Sanji begins fantasizing the idea of watching Nami and Robin grow up again, seeing them regain their looks with each day. Zoro calls him disgusting, prompting the usual heated arguments between them. An old man named Mobston approaches them and asks if they had a run in with Z. He tells them many pirate ships that have come to the island have been attacked by him. He tells that many who had been attacked by him, lost their will to continue and left the New World. He is pleasantly surprised they all still are willing to fight him. After speaking to him, they take the Sea Train to Secon Island. As they head to their next destination, they divide their jobs and split up. Nami and Robin have gotten work at a bar. Robin woos the crowd with her good looks and dancing, as Nami helps bring drinks around to the soldiers. Usopp is disguised as Robin's manager, and Chopper working as a shoe shiner. Usopp reports that Robin's dancing is making them a lot of money. A Marine Captain becomes suspicious of Nami's questioning about Z and tries to escort her away for questioning, but Robin blows their cover and subdues the Captain as the two make off. Robin and the others are chased through town by the Marines until they meet up with the rest, as Luffy dispatches them all. Robin, Nami, and Brook head for the Sea Train as Luffy goes off to fight Z who is on the island. Luffy loses badly during the fight, as the crew barely escape on the train before the island is destroyed the same way as Firs Island. The Straw Hats return to Dock Island, as Luffy is patched up. Kuzan appears before the crew again, telling Luffy to stop moping. Robin is shown terrified, but Luffy assures her it is alright. Kuzan tells them how Z was a former Admiral, and how he stole the Dyna Stones. Brook asks what those are, and Robin replies that they are stones that have the power to rival the Ancient Weapons. He goes on to tell him his plan is to destroy the three Endpoints with the Dyna Stones to release the Grande Imbuto, killing all pirates and destroying the One Piece. Now that two of the Endpoints have been destroyed, Z is about to go to the last one, Piriodo, and unless the Straw Hats stop him, the Pirate Era will end. The Endpoints had been considered a legend, with most thinking it was nonsense. The government covered up the truth about them, to dissuade pirates from using it. That only the World Government and highest ranking officers of the Marines know about it. He laments that it is an Admiral abusing this knowledge above all else. Kuzan then gives them an Eternal Pose leading to Piriodo. Nami asks why he is helping them, as he ignores the question and warns them that their journey will be very dangerous. If they lose to Z, they will be destroyed along with the New World. Or, if they win they will be attacked by the Marines. With that said he leaves them to their own fates. As they leave, him and Robin share a small moment as for the first time she looks upon him as a possible friend. Robin and the others suit up in new battle uniforms, brandishing a cutlass blade and rifle for herself. Her new attire shows off more of her body, with a long open black jacket. After saying their goodbyes, they all head out to sea for the battle ahead. The Straw Hats intercept a blockade of Neo Marine warships guarding Piriodo. They blast through their defenses with the ship's main cannon. They land on the beaches with an army waiting for them. The Straw Hats begin fighting, using their new weapons to help. Robin is shown fighting with two swords, slashing at the Neo Marines. She uses her Gigantesco Mano move, summoning giant legs to stomp the surrounding enemies. With the help of the others they clear the battlefield of enemies. However, before they are able to claim victory the Neo Marines reinforcements arrive. An army of modified Pacifista appear, sending powerful laser blasts at them. Robin and the others are outmatched, unable to handle them, until Franky shows up in his General Franky robot to turn the tide and defeat them. Usopp, Brook, and Chopper cheer him on as Nami and Robin merely stare blankly. When Zoro defeated Ain, her effects on the crew wears off. Robin grows taller, her breasts expand, and the length of her hair grows longer as well until she is back to her normal appearance. Robin and the others catch up to the Luffy's battle with Z, watching their battle unfold. After a long bloody match, the battle ends with Luffy's triumph. The Straw Hats rush over to Luffy's aid, with Ain and Binz doing the same for Z. Kizaru then arrives with his army, telling them he is going to kill them all. Respecting Luffy and his crew, Z gives them an opening to escape as he goes to meet them head on. Ain tries to rush to his side, but Kuzan summons a giant wall of ice dividing everyone from him. Robin silently looks on, unable to do anything for both. Robin and the crew depart the island, watching the battle unfold in grim silence as Z gives up his life to save them. During the credits, it is revealed that after Z's defeat, the Straw Hats returned to Dock Island one last time, to return the gear and weapons Mobston had given them. They bid them farewell, and depart for more adventures in the New World.

As Luffy and the others climb up the mountain with Nami, Robin and Usopp stayed behind in the town, as Luffy and Sanji get attacked by some Lapahns, and they are unable to fight back, fearing that the shock of any blows given or received will kill Nami. An avalanche buries the mountain in snow, and Sanji kicks Luffy out of the way to save him and Nami, being buried in the process. The avalanche sweeps through the town and buries Robin and Usopp, and Robin digs the two of them out and slaps Usopp awake with her powers. Luffy continues climbing the mountain, barely able to keep himself alive in the extreme cold. Just before losing consciousness, he reaches the top of the mountain, where Chopper saves him and brings him, Sanji and Nami in for treatment, curing Nami of her disease. As Luffy and the others are being treated at Drum Castle, they learn more about Chopper's past, and about Dr. Hiriluk, and thank Chopper and Kureha for saving them and Nami. Unfortunately, they soon come under attack from Wapol and his men, who have come to take back the island. While Chopper and Sanji fight off Wapol's men, Wapol attempts to shoot down Hiriluk's flag with his Baku Baku no Mi powers. As he does this, Luffy gets to the top of the castle and protects the flag, but soon ends up in a fight with Wapol's brother, Musshuru. Musshuru initially has the advantage in speed and easily defeats Luffy with his Noko Noko no Mi powers, poisoning him with his spores. Chopper tries to fight back, but he is defeated, too. Before Musshuru can give the final blow he stopped by the arrival of the rest of the Straw Hats, who stop him and manage to give Luffy an antidote to the poison. As he finishes recovering, Luffy then uses Gear Second allowing him to keep up with Musshuru and ultimately dominates Musshuru in battle. Wapol escapes into the castle and eats Musshuru, fusing with him and the Bliking Cannon, in an attempt to gain his power and combine it with his own to make a poison bomb to annihilate everyone in Drum so he can replace them with his soldiers. As he tries to fire the bomb, Chopper uses Arm Point and manages to launch Wapol into the roof. Despite managing to fire the bomb, it is destroyed by the Straw Hats before it can explode, then Luffy manages to defeat him and send him flying with Gear Third's Gum Gum Gigant Pistol. Some of Musshuru's poisonous spores drift down, but Franky incinerates them before they can do any damage. After the battle, Robin and Nami manage to persuade Kureha to let her leave by handing over the antidote to the spores. Luffy asks Chopper to join his crew, and despite initially not trusting humans before, Chopper decides to go with Luffy. Chopper tells Kureha, who berates him, claiming that he is not ready to leave home, and chases him out of the castle. As he leaves with the Straw Hats off the mountain, Kureha then orders the Drum guards to fire off Hiriluk's Sakura mixture, which mixes with the snow, resulting in a pink snowfall and causing the mountain on which the castle stands to resemble a Sakura tree. As Chopper sees this, he realizes that Hiriluk's dream has been accomplished, and starts to cry. With the Cherry Blossoms in the distance, the Straw Hats sail away from Drum Island, with Chopper now a member, as they go toward their next adventure.

Heart Of Gold
One Piece Film Gold Episode 0
On the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats were having a barbecue. Robin and Franky were teamed up against Nami and Chopper in a volleyball game. In the end, Robin and Franky lost because she used her Devil Fruit ability, so Robin gave Nami a coin of 100 belly. Afterwards, the Straw Hats began to talk about what they will do once they arrive on Gran Tesoro. When Nami mentioned betting in the casino, Usopp became concerned, so he demonstrated a show to display at Gran Tesoro if betting failed. Robin sat by while Usopp, Luffy, Franky, Brook, and Chopper did the show. After a long match between Luffy and Franky, they both decided to use their signature attacks, but Nami interrupted and punched the two because they could have destroyed the ship, amusing Robin. Moments later, the Straw Hats approached Gran Tesoro.
One Piece Film Gold
The Straw Hats entered Gran Tesoro, and were showered with gold in the entrance. They emerged into a pool of liquid gold that had a concert venue around it, but were immediately attacked by the Long Long Pirates, who intended to rob them and pay off their debts. Several pirates charged at Robin, but she defeated all of them with her powers. The Straw Hats defeated the Long Long Pirates, and watched as the proprietor of Gran Tesoro, Gild Tesoro, encased the remaining members in gold. The Straw Hats landed and were approached by Baccarat, who offered to give them a VIP stay in Gran Tesoro due to their fame. She drove them through Gran Tesoro in a turtle car and took them to the VIP hotel at the heart of the ship, where the Straw Hats donned new outfits as they began their dream vacation. Nami and the crew were approached by a group of kids selling flowers for 5000, but Baccarat chased the kids away. They went to a casino, where Baccarat gave them 20,000,000 worth in tokens. Nami was appalled when Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper immediately went to participate in a Turtle Car race, but cheered as the trio ended up winning the race. The Straw Hats had a lot of luck with the games, earning lots of tokens, and Baccarat took them to the VIP lounge where they had the chance to become millionaires. The Straw Hats played a dice game there and won, and were approached by Gild Tesoro, who challenged them. They lost, but it was revealed that Baccarat had taken Luffy's luck away with her Devil Fruit power, so they refused to hand over their money. This caused Tesoro and his subordinates to retaliate with force, and Tanaka jumped in and out of the ground, shooting the Straw Hats with his gun and throwing them into chaos. Tesoro managed to capture Zoro, and Nami tried to attack him, but was surprised when Carina came up to her and held a knife to her neck. Tesoro gave the Straw Hats until 12:00 the next night to repay their debt, or else he would kill Zoro. The Straw Hats went outside, where they encountered an acquaintance of Nami's named Carina. They went to a diner with Carina, who revealed to them that a massive portion of Tesoro's wealth was contained in the Hyper Suite Room near the top of the hotel, which they could steal to repay their debt. The Straw Hats agreed to this plan, and afterwards, Carina revealed to everyone except Luffy her true plan, which was to direct seawater out of every fountain on Gran Tesoro and free everyone from Tesoro's control over them. The Straw Hats then slept in a hotel, and tried on disguises later in the day to prepare for their mission. They congregated outside the hotel, and Carina outlined the details of the plan. While Team A, Luffy and Franky, would infiltrate the hotel and disable several Eizo Den Den Mushi that served as security cameras, the rest of them, Team B, would sneak inside and make their way to the door to the Hyper Suite Room. The teams then split, and Team B snuck into the hotel. Carina distracted a group of workers transporting a giant dice container, allowing the Straw Hats to hide inside it, and they were wheeled into a storage room where they met back up with Carina. After getting past a few security guards, Team B entered a hallway that led to the staircase to the Hyper Suite Room, but the hall was guarded by owls with spotlights beaming from their eyes. With Chopper's help, Team B managed to pass through the hall, and they communicated with Team A so the latter could disconnect the Eizo Den Den Mushi watching over the staircase. However, Luffy was discovered and the alarm was raised, causing Team B to be discovered by security guards and chased back down the hall they came from. Team B took refuge in a hidden hallway, but were approached by the World Noble Saint Camael and his entourage. However, the team ambushed the World Nobles, stole their clothing, and emerged disguised as them. Tricking the security guards into thinking they were World Nobles, Team B intimidated them into allowing them back through the hallway, and they raced up the staircase to the Hyper Suite Room. However, they opened the door to find themselves in the middle of an entertainment venue, as part of a trap designed by Gild Tesoro and Carina. Tesoro trapped the Straw Hats in gold tendrils, and prepared to begin the entertainment spectacle by executing Zoro as the Straw Hats' bodies slowly became encased in gold. Suddenly, seawater sprayed from every fountain, as Carina had intended for Luffy and Franky to do. The Straw Hats were freed from their gold encasement and reunited with Luffy, Zoro, and Franky, but Tesoro suddenly blew up the hotel, sending a massive deluge of liquid gold on them. However, Sanji, Robin, and Franky carried their crewmates into the air to safety. Tesoro reemerged inside a giant gold golem and confronted the Straw Hats, and as Luffy battled him, the other Straw Hats and Carina were confronted by Baccarat, Tanaka, and Dice, who were given golden armor and weapons by Tesoro. Tanaka jumped into the ground and popped in and out around Sanji and Robin, shooting at them from random areas with his gun. Sanji and Robin were unable to keep up with Tanaka's movements, and Sanji tried kicking him, but he phased into the wall and emerged behind Sanji, pointing his gun at him. However, Robin grabbed Tanaka with her Devil Fruit powers, and Tanaka was trapped due to not being able to phase through organic objects. Sanji then raced toward Tanaka and barraged his face with Diable Jambe kicks, defeating him. Luffy eventually managed to overpower Tesoro, and Tesoro turned his golem into liquid gold, swamping everyone on Gran Tesoro except Luffy with it and preventing them from moving. However, Luffy managed to defeat Tesoro, freeing everyone on Gran Tesoro from his control, and they rejoiced. Suddenly, a timer appeared, and Carina stated that the ship would sink once it reached zero. The Straw Hats returned to the Thousand Sunny, but found out that the timer was a ruse in order to allow Carina to take control of Gran Tesoro. However, they held no hard feelings, and were forced to sail away once the Marine fleet nearby started chasing them.

Cidre Guild Arc
Out at sea, the Straw Hats were under attack by a group of bounty hunters known as the Cidre Guild and their guns that shot powerful blasts of carbonated water. They managed to escape by blasting off with Coup de Burst, but upon stopping at an island afterward they found that the Sunny's cola supply had run out. Luffy volunteered to go to the island to buy some cola, and found that it was dotted with pools of carbonated water. A ramune saleswoman named Caramel told Luffy that he could get cola from the factory, but warned him that it was controlled by the Cidre Guild. Luffy raced toward the factory, but was confronted by a Cidre Guild platoon led by Ginger. Ginger overwhelmed Luffy with a powerful carbonation blast, causing him to fall into a sinkhole and get swept away by an underground river. The river took Luffy to a pool where Boa Hancock was bathing, and the two reunited and started a battle against Cidre himself. Meanwhile, the other Straw Hats were fighting the rest of the Cidre Guild on the coast, but the fight soon ended as the Guild members revealed they had been enslaved by Cidre and so had no loyalty to him. As the crew dealt with the enslaved, Luffy continued his battle with Cidre. After a brief clash, Luffy eventually overpowers Cidre and defeats him. He then sees an invitation to the Pirates Festival land on the ground and Luffy picks it up. The liberated Cidre Guild slaves gave the Straw Hats barrels of cola in repayment for their freedom. Luffy reveals to Hancock that he received an invitation to the Pirates Festival, and bids her a temporary farewell. As the Straw Hats sail back out to sea, Luffy reveals the invitation to his crew, and to their shock, Robin reads that this year's Expo will include a hunt for Gol D. Roger's treasure. Luffy is excited to go there, and the crew sets sail to Delta Island where the Expo will be taking place, along with the other crews of the Worst Generation.

Robins Past

Straw Hat Separation
Robin's adventure in Tequila Wolf is extended in the anime. After Robin landed there, she met and befriended a girl named Soran. Also in the anime, Robin attacked some of the guards before she gave herself up to spare Soran from punishment. Instead of somehow escaping surveillance as shown in the manga, Robin was freed by Soran and a Revolutionary agent.

Translation And Dub Issues
Summary
In an official scan for One Piece: Unlimited Adventure, Robin's name was misspelled as "Lobin". Her attack "Cinco Fleur" contains the Spanish word, "Cinco" which means five. This is similar to the Japanese word "Chinko" (a part of the male genitals). The word was brought up by a confused fan in one SBS who questioned why Oda used the word. As stated previously, her attacks contain a number in Spanish, although Oda remarked that having her attack the male genitals area was brilliant, which he later used as a way to make Franky join the crew. In the 4Kids dub, Robin receives the same treatment as many other female characters such as Nami and Miss Doublefinger. Her cleavage is often removed or an undershirt added to hide her chest. Sometimes the editors switch between the two in different shots leading to inconsistency. She was given a southern accent to go with her cowgirl hat. In the FUNimation edited dub, she no longer has the accent, and occasionally refers to the crew by their names instead of their titles. However, in the FUNimation uncut dub and the English version of One Piece: Unlimited Adventure she still calls the crew (except Luffy) by their titles, although the game takes place after Enies Lobby, and Robin recalls the Straw Hats taking her in and giving her a reason to live.
Trivia
Summary
In addition to using the jolly roger of the Straw Hats, Robin has her own jolly roger. It has a purple cowboy hat, and four arms in a pinwheel formation, due to her Devil Fruit, the Hana Hana no Mi. After the timeskip, the skull gains sunglasses on the cowboy hat and an image of her Devil Fruit or an actual Chrysanthemum is in the background. This accommodates to her New World appearance. Like many other female characters in One Piece, Robin is named after a type of bird. Robin is the only member of the Straw Hats who was never formally invited to join them; she decided to join on her own, a decision met with no objections. Robin is canonically the only member of the Straw Hat Pirates to debut before another member but join after them, in this case Chopper. In the anime, Nami debuts before both Luffy and Zoro. Robin is the first person to stowaway on a Straw Hat ship. In Chapter 97 and Episode 48, Nami can see trying on clothes, one of which is almost identical to Robin's clothing in Arabasta. Of all the Straw Hat Pirates, Robin has the highest starter bounty, however she received that bounty before joining the crew. Robin also has the highest bounty under 1,000,000,000 of the Straw Hat Pirates. Robin was the second to last member to be sent away by Kuma and the second to last member to return to Sabaody Archipelago. On Tequila Wolf, Robin's slave number was 3926. In a Shonen Jump question asking "If you could be any manga character, who would you be?" Oda said he would want to be Nico Robin so that he could "sprout hands and draw manga twenty times as fast". In the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th fan polls of most popular characters, Robin was ranked 11th, 5th, 7th, 11th, 12th and 6th, respectively, making her one of the most popular female characters. Robin is the only Straw Hat member besides Jinbe who has performed a Fish-Man Karate technique. Robin is also the only Devil Fruit user known to use Fish-Man Karate, as well as the first human shown using it (in Chapter 605), before Koala's debut. The latter, however, was only confirmed after Koala's introduction as an adult and Fish-Man Karate instructor.
Sbsbased Trivia
Robin's birthday, February 6, comes from her surname's first syllable and her name's first syllable since 2-6 can be derived from ni-ro. She shares her birthday with her mother, Nico Olvia. A fan asked Oda if Robin could sprout her breasts, with her Devil Fruit ability, like other parts and places of her body, and Oda answered that she could. Robin can feel things through the body parts she sprouts with her ability. Oda also confirms that Robin pretty much felt Franky's testicles when she grabbed them with her Devil Fruit power. Robin's favorite foods are sandwiches, not too sweet cakes, and stuff that goes with coffee. Also, her favorite food from Wano Country is soba.

However, in Chapter 651 when all the Straw Hat Pirates were represented as animals, Robin was shown as a falcon. If One Piece was set in the real world, then Robin would be from Russia. Robin's thoughts are "Learn, Read, History, Old, Secret", and like the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates, "Friendship". When a fan asked which flower Robin resembles the most, her Japanese voice actress answered she most resembles a casablanca. Robin bathes every day, the same as Nami and Sanji.

Robin typically sleeps at 11:00 P.M. and gets up at 6:00 A.M. If the Straw Hat Pirates were not pirates, then Robin would be a cabin attendant. If the Straw Hat Pirates had a 50-meter race, then Robin would come in eighth place. When Sanji is in his raid suit, Robin calls him "Ominous Mask". In SBS 100, Oda showed Robin's possible appearances at ages 40 and 60 in two separate timelines.
