Forced to fend for herself at the age of eight due to a Buster Call annihilating her home island, the Child of the Devil learned how to live on the high seas fast and has utilized this to become one of the more versatile members of the Straw Hat crew. This is doubly true when one factors in her Hana Hana no Mi, which allows her to turn copies of her limbs into titanic weapons or makeshift wings in the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that’s just what she can do in combat. As one of the smarter and more experienced members of the crew, she can act as the voice of reason that sees them to safety; protect her friends from the more dangerous members of an enemy force; or join in with the zaniest of plans in equal measure \u2014 all while rarely breaking her calm and collected demeanor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding to all this is the fact that she’s the most intrinsically linked to one of the biggest plot threads in the series. Her skills as an archeologist mean she’s one of a select few people who can translate the Poneglyphs, making her one of the most crucial characters to the wider plot. Each new discovery or step forward in her character arc drives the plot forward in a big way, and makes both that much more interesting to watch play out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We could keep going, but the fact of the matter is that Robin is the peak of One Piece female characters. And, given the fact that she’s not going anywhere, there’s little doubt she’ll continue to develop and entertain viewers until the credits roll on the legendary series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
