Robin

Biodata

Background

Robin was eight when the Buster Call destroyed Ohara. During the attack, she reunited with her mother, Nico Olvia, who chose to remain behind with the scholars to save the Tree of Knowledge’s books. Jaguar D. Saul carried Robin away 20.

Branded the “Devil Child” and given a 79 million Beli bounty, Robin spent the next seventeen years on the run. She searched for Poneglyphs and the truth of the Void Century, hoping to vindicate Ohara’s scholars and complete the work they died pursuing 6 24 26.

By the time Ruidio sought her out, Robin was working for Crocodile in Alabasta. She had found a Poneglyph concerning the Ancient Weapon Pluton there two years earlier 20 26.

Appearance

Robin is a tall woman with fair skin, deep-set pale purple eyes, and a high, sharply defined nose 20 29.

• She wears a cowboy hat and knee-high, high-heeled boots 20.
• When Ruidio first meets her, she wears a fur-trimmed white coat over a strappy top and denim hot pants 20.
• As a child, she had black hair; Olvia notes that the grown Robin strongly resembles her 20 26.

Personality

Robin is guarded and observant. She monitors her surroundings with eyes created by her Devil Fruit and questions Ruidio about his teleportation and interest in her before trusting him 20 24.

Her search for the Void Century sustained her through years of isolation, but it also became a heavy burden. She describes herself as an “empty shell” living to find answers for Ohara’s dead. Even after learning that someone from Roger’s crew might know the truth, she insists on reaching Laugh Tale to see its records herself 24 25.

Her reunion with Olvia brings both joy and anxiety: Robin fears her restored mother and the other scholars might not be real, and briefly sees Olvia as an ice sculpture 29.

Abilities & Skills

Flower-Flower Fruit

Robin sprouts parts of her body from petals, using them for combat, observation, and movement 20 21 24.

• Joint locks: She creates arms on opponents and restrains their joints at angles that prevent them from applying their strength. She immobilizes Ruidio and later incapacitates Cipher Pol agents and guards at Ohara 20 25.
• Surveillance: She creates eyes to watch multiple directions, including eyes in the palms of sprouted hands 24 26.
• Extended reach: She forms linked arms to reach a ship’s rail and uses arms extending from her palm to pull Olvia toward her 21 25.
• Limits: Robin says she cannot assemble another person’s face with enough precision to create a convincing disguise. Seastone handcuffs leave her weak 24 30.

Scholarship

Robin can read Ancient Script and researches Poneglyphs and the Void Century. Her knowledge leads her to a Poneglyph concerning Pluton in Alabasta 20 26.

System Assessment

Ruidio’s system rates Robin at three-star overall strength and records the following skills 20:

Relationships

• Nico Olvia — Robin’s mother and an Ohara scholar. Robin reunites with her after Ruidio brings Olvia out of an Ohara mission 20 26.
• Jaguar D. Saul — Robin’s savior during the Buster Call. After he fails to emerge from the mission, she asks Ruidio to find out whether he is alive and where he is 20 26 27.
• Dr. Clover — An Ohara scholar Robin knew as a child. She is moved to see him again when Ruidio brings the scholars to Alabasta 25 28.
• Crocodile — Robin serves as his assistant and second-in-command, though she fears the consequences if he obtains an Ancient Weapon 20 27.
• Ruidio — A system user who undertakes Robin’s missions and helps reunite her with Olvia. Robin calls him her friend; he later reserves a place for her on his planned crew 26 31.

Story Role

Meeting Ruidio

Ruidio’s system identifies Robin as the client of a five-star task to ensure Olvia survives the Buster Call. After failing to find her in Yuba, he attracts her attention near Rainbase by paying people to shout “Dereshishishi.” Robin confronts and restrains him, but he accepts her task and deploys to Ohara 6 19 20.

The Truth of History

After Crocodile leaves Alabasta, Robin asks Ruidio about the Void Century. He tells her that the four Road Poneglyphs reveal the coordinates of Laugh Tale, where Roger’s crew learned the historical truth. Her desire to uncover it creates a six-star mission 24 25.

Return to Ohara

Ruidio deploys Robin into her eight-year-old self during the Buster Call. Using her adult combat skills, she defeats the agents holding Olvia and helps the scholars. One escape attempt ends when Olvia is frozen; on a later deployment, Ruidio brings Olvia back to Alabasta with Robin 25 26.

Ruidio subsequently brings the Ohara scholars to Alabasta, where King Cobra shelters them in the Royal Grand Library. A final Ohara mission places young Robin and Olvia aboard Kizaru’s warship as the island is destroyed, completing the five-star task. In the present, Robin experiences faint, contradictory memories of that altered event 29 30 31.

Departure

Ruidio tells Robin to remain in Alabasta with Olvia until he forms a crew bound for Laugh Tale. In a later cover serial, Cobra and Vivi see Robin and Olvia off at Alabasta’s port, one month after Ruidio’s departure 31 40.
