Biography
Nico Robin (Japanese: ニコ・ロビン, Hepburn: Niko Robin)
As a child, Robin studied archeology and history on an island named Ohara, and became an official archaeologist at the age of eight. Her mother Nico Olvia left her when she was two years old to do illegal research on the One Piece world's lost history. Olvia was captured and the Navy discovered, that the scholars of Ohara shared Olvia's forbidden goal. She escaped and rushed to Ohara to warn her colleagues but did not make it in time. The Marines bombarded Ohara and burned the island to the ground, killing all of the inhabitants. Robin was spared and allowed to escape by Vice-Admiral Kuzan, who would later be known as Admiral Aokiji.
As she was the only known person left with the ability to read the text of the forbidden history, the World Government placed a high bounty on her head. In order to survive and to pursue her mother's dream, she spent two decades in the service of various pirates and other criminal organizations. Due to her excessive bounty, she was consistently betrayed, eroding her ability to trust others.
She was 24 years old when she travelled to the nation of Arabasta which was where she met Sir Crocodile who was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He came to learn of her ability to read the Poneglyphs and recruited her in his search for the ancient weapon known as Pluton that was believed to be hidden within the desert country. In exchange, he offered her his protection and she came to join the ranks of his secret criminal organization known as Baroque Works. As Miss All-Sunday, she came to be the only agent of the organization to be aware that Sir Crocodile was their secret leader. Meanwhile, Robin managed to stay safely hidden away from the attention of the World Government for the next 4 years.

Finally, the Officer Agents of the Baroque Works met up with Miss All Sunday and Crocodile in the basement of the Rain Dinners Casino which was owned by Crocodile. They were told the goal of the Baroque Works, their final mission and their respective parts in overthrowing Arabasta.

Vivi met the rest of the Straw Hats on the foot of the wall and went to search for the bomb with them and Pell.
Luffy challenged Crocodile for a second time but now he was aware that water is Crocodile’s weakness. While the fight continued, Miss All Sunday took the nails painfully out of Cobra's body and cuffed him with her powers to force the King to the location of Pluton. Meanwhile, a furious Crocodile recovered and ordered his partner to quickly depart. Miss All-Sunday was confronted by Marines led by Tashigi.

She stays with the crew, until Aokiji appeared once again. The Straw Hats are quickly dispatched by his overwhelming power. He informs the crew that every organization Nico Robin has associated with has eventually been destroyed. Shortly after that, on Water 7, she is approached by the CP9 and her crew is threatened a second time, she gives herself up in exchange for her comrades safety.
When the Straw Hats learn of her motives, they chase the CP9 to the judicial stronghold of Enies Lobby, while Robin persistently refuses to be rescued. In addition to the safety of her friends, Robin turns herself in out of fear that the Straw Hats would come to regard her as a burden, and betray her like her previous associates.
When the Straw Hats learn this truth, they don't hesitate to exclaim their devotion for their comrades by burning the government's flag. With the symbol of her prosecution going up in flames, she realizes how far they would go to protect her and declares her newfound desire to live. With the defeat of the CP9 and the obliteration of Enies Lobby, Robin becomes an official member of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Nico Robin was a tall, attractive woman with shoulder length black hair. She usually wears somewhat revealing clothing usually showing her cleavage and her belly with this being either dark in color or consisting of leather, sometimes both, and she was known to wear a purple cowboy hat on numerous occasions. It was noted that Robin also resembled her mother greatly, with the exception of her hair color and style. As a member of Baroque Works, she came to operate under the code name of Miss All Sunday (ミス・オールサンデー, Misu Ōrusandē).
As an archaeologist, Robin values ancient artifacts and buildings and will risk her life to protect them. She becomes extremely angry with those who destroy these ancient relics. Robin is consistently portrayed as the wisest and most sensible member of the crew. She has vast knowledge of the world of One Piece, and usually keeps her head during surprising situations, allowing her to logically analyze them without losing her cool. This was in direct contrast to the other Straw Hats, who often overreact comically or melodramatically to unexpected happenings and hold irrational ideas and conclusions. She even remains calm when talking about morbid subjects, often shocking her crewmates.
Her dream is to find and decipher the Rio Poneglyph, which she believes to lie at the end of the Grand Line on the island of Raftel.
Powers and abilities
Nico Robin was born an ordinary human being with no special inherent powers. Such was her skill that she was one of only two people in the world known to have the ability to read and decipher Poneglyphs with this being considered a forbidden practice as it threatened the World Government.
When she was young, Robin came to eat the Hana Hana no Mi (ハナハナの実, Flower Flower Fruit) that was a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. This allowed her the power to create copies of any of her body parts on any solid surface that she could see such as her own body, or on the bodies of others or on other objects. Practically, she most often employed grappling techniques to incapacitate her foe by replicating her limbs on their body she eliminated the need for close range combat. In another case, she could sprout her legs from underneath an injured comrade thus helping transport them away from danger. If Robin's replicated body parts were damaged in some way, the damage appeared on her actual body.
Among the techniques known to her included:
- Dos Fleur (二輪ドス咲きフルール Dosu Furūru?, literally meaning "Two Flower"; kanji meaning "Two Profusely Blooming Flowers"):
- Grab (グラップ Gurappu?) :
- Clutch (クラッチ Kuratchi?) :
- Tres Fleur (三輪トレス咲きフルール Toresu Furūru?, literally meaning "Three Flower"; kanji meaning "Three Profusely Blooming Flowers") :
- Cinco Fleur (五輪シンコ咲きフルール Shinko Furūru?, literally meaning "Five Flower"; kanji meaning "Five Profusely Blooming Flowers") :
- Seis Fleur (六輪セイス咲きフルール Seisu Furūru?, literally meaning "Six Flower"; kanji meaning "Six Profusely Blooming Flowers") :
- Twist (ツイスト Tsuisuto?) :
- Clutch (クラッチ Kuratchi?) :
- Slap (スラップ Surappu?) :
- Ocho Fleur (八輪咲きオーチョフルール Ōcho Furūru?, literally meaning "Eight Flower"; kanji meaning "Eight Profusely Blooming Flowers") :
- Flip (フリップ Furippu?) :
- Clutch (クラッチ Kuratchi?) :
- Nueve Fleur (九輪ヌエベ咲きフルール Nuebe Furūru?, literally meaning "Nine Flower"; kanji meaning "Nine Profusely Blooming Flowers") :
- Twist (ツイスト Tsuisuto?) :
Whilst working with Crocodile, she came to serve as a member of his criminal organization Baroque Works (バロックワークス, Barokku Wākusu).
After being saved by Luffy, she came to join the ranks of the Straw Hat Pirates (麦わらの一味, Mugiwara no Ichimi). Among the crew, she was an archaeologist and historian with her believed to be the only person in the story's present able to read the Poneglyph language.
