Initially joining the crew as an antagonist, her complex character and unwavering pursuit of knowledge have earned her a place as a beloved member of the Straw Hat family.

Nico Robin possesses the Hana Hana no Mi (Flower-Flower Fruit), a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. This allows her to create multiple copies of her body parts, which she can use offensively, defensively, or for support in combat.

While powerful, Robin's ability has limitations. Her real body feels damage inflicted on her duplicates, and she is vulnerable to attacks that target her original body. Additionally, as a Devil Fruit user, she is unable to swim.
