Vast Knowledge and

Archaeological Skills
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.[19]

As a child prodigy, she passed her archaeological

exams at the age of 8 to become a certified scholar.
She is also the only person alive 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.[20] 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.

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 Lu!y
turns to when he wants an explanation of new
information.[21]

Master of Escape

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).

Physical Abilities

While not at the same superhuman level as Lu!y,

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.

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 e!ectively 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. 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.

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 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.

One of her most impressive aspects is her will power

as she managed to recover in mere minutes after
having her shadow stolen by Gecko Moria (when it
usually takes a few days for most humans). It seems
that she also has an incredible recovery rate. One
example of her recovery ability is when she, Zoro, Gan
Fall, and Wyper were all knocked out by Enel's Devil
Fruit ability, Robin 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 had 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 while 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.

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 cli! 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.

Fish-Man Karate

Robin incorporating Fish-Man Karate into one of her Devil Fruit

techniques.

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
e!ects of Fish-Man Karate into her usual fighting
style of sprouted limbs, allowing her to break
structures with ease through precise palm strikes.[22]

Devil Fruit

Further information: Hana Hana no Mi

The Hana Hana no Mi power is revealed clearly.

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
e!ortlessly. 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.

The position Robin normally takes when using her abilities.

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.[23]

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 e!ect
when used on her extended limbs, as evidenced by
Sugar turning Robin into a toy by touching Robin's
replicated arms.

Weapons

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

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's
complete obedience to their masters, tricking
Hogback into giving orders to the two zombies with
Zoro and Sanji's shadows into jumping o! the Thriller
Bark mansion, e!ectively luring them away from
Hogback without using physical force.

Due to her having spent years escaping from Marines

and 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 surbordinate
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 o! 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

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 e!ectively 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.[24]

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

Hazard.

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.[25]

Hairdressing

Robin has some skill with haircutting since she and

Usopp act as the crew's hairdressers.[26]

Cooking

Robin also has some skills in cooking.[27]

Dancer

Robin is an excellent dancer. In Film Z, her graceful

dancing make her extremely popular and according to
Usopp, it helped earned 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 Lu!y knocking out half of Hody's men.
She also has great knowledge about Haki, such as
explaining the principles of Busoshoku Haki to Franky
when Lu!y fought Caesar Clown.
