Eiichiro Oda might have createdOne Pieceas a mere Shonen manga, but to fans, it holds far greater significance. Over the course of its decades-long run,One Piecemanaged to show not only realistic evil but also realistic friendship. The one character who stands at the forefront of it is Nico Robin.
Yes, one of the most attractiveOne Piececharacters, who always has Sanji drooling over her, has been the center of many important arcs. In fact, this lady has gone through hell and still manages to be the most intelligent and calm person among the crazy crew of the Straw Hats.

Out of all the Straw Hat members, Robin can be called the most in-control person. She does indulge in some of the silly businesses of her nakama, but you can rarely find her losing composure. She approaches everything in a calm and collected manner, and she treats Luffy with respect even when others are ready to kick his face.

It’s not just Luffy who gets such respect from her; she treats each of her fellow Straw Hat members with kindness and patience. However, her calmness came at a huge cost. If you knowNico Robin’s history, you will know how intricately she is linked with Ohara. Her homeland was destroyed by the World Government, and all she could do was fan the urge for revenge. Her mother was cruelly taken away from her, and the scholars who she grew up with were brutally murdered.
Despite facing the worst possible fate, Robin didn’t give up; she became a wanted criminal at a tender age and had to hide her Devil Fruit abilities while living a life of fear. When she met the Straw Hats, things began to change; she found a home in a crazy crew headed by a childish rubber-guy. When Luffy stretched his hands to save her (literally), she realized that for the first time in her life,she had made friends and a family.
Eiichiro Oda’s Message ofOne Pieceis Best Portrayed Through Robin
The first time the Straw Hatsencountered Robin,she was a major antagonist in the Alabasta Arc. After the arc concluded, she joined the Straw Hats temporarily, but after a slight bout of suspicion, she received respect and friendship. She realized how much the Straw Hats cared for a stranger like her.
she means so much to me because its like. it’s never too late to find your true friends. it’s never too late to find your true purpose. it’s never too late to start feeling like a kid again. it’s never too late to finally want a life for yourself
so much love for robin i love to see it 😭 im so glad there’s ppl who can relate to oda’s writing cause its genuinely so heart touching.
After running away from every place finally she find a home where she can stay..and got friends who she can trust ♥️
This is especially noticeable in the Water 7 arc in which the whole crew got together to save Robin, who herself had given up on her life just to save everyone else involved. She knew the horror of a buster call and did not want anyone to face the same fate as Ohara. However after seeingLuffy and the others’ endless effortto save her, she finally realized that she could be selfish from that moment forth and choose herself.

Robin’s character proved that it is never too late to find true friendship, and you will find it in the most unlikely of places. She found her true purpose and could decipher Poneglyphs, just like how she was meant to, given her relation to Ohara. In fact, she could reconnect with her lost childhood once again due to the endless craziness of her crewmates. Eiichiro Oda took a traumatized and depressed woman and gave her purpose, true friends, and happiness in life. It is characters like her who preach the true message ofOne Piecein a silent yet loud manner.
One Pieceis available to read on Viz Media, and the anime is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
