Held captive at the Tower of Law, faces Spandam’s drawn elephant-sword Funkfreed unbowed: “This isn’t like that time on Ohara!! …I have nothing to be afraid of now… because I’m not alone!!” (p. 12) — the lived-out resolution of the Ohara lone-survivor isolation. The chosen-survival turn. Earlier she asks Spandam “Are your Straw Hats really coming?” / answers her own dread with “I’m sure of it!” (p. 9).

Her Sea-Prism-Stone handcuffs are unlocked: Sogeking snipes the keys off them (the No. 4 key is the real one), and Franky completes the unlock — “I got the handcuffs… off Nico Robin!!” (pp. 2-4). Robin is reunited with the crew and thanks the “long nose.”
Immediately back in the fight — uses “Seis Fleurs” to slap down the agents trying to re-arrest her (p. 5), and sets the escape plan: “We’re already wanted criminals. If stealing a ship’s our way out, let’s do it” — seize the escort ship past the bridge (pp. 11-12).

Chained and dragged by Spandam, Robin realizes the Buster Call has been triggered (“I triggered the Buster Call…!!!”, p. 8 — she had warned him; the Golden Snail’s accidental press did it) and, knowing the Golden Snail is broadcasting live across the island, she turns it into a warning: “Everyone, evacuate the island!!! If you stay on the island, you die!!! Enies Lobby is under the Buster Call!!!” (pp. 13–14). She names Ohara twenty years ago as her proof of the order’s horror (“a concentrated artillery assault which won’t leave two stones standing on top of one another”, p. 11). Spandam slaps her silent.

Enies Lobby (Ch. 398 — “Declaration of War”) — the present-day return: the death-acceptance breaks into “I WANT TO LIVE!!”

The Ohara-aftermath flashback resolves into the Enies Lobby present. Flashback: every refuge denounces the hunted child for her bounty and turns her over to the Marines (“The demon child cannot be allowed to live!” / “Your sin is being alive!!”, pp. 4–7); her escape is credited to Saul dying to save her, and the pursuing ship’s rudder froze (the Aokiji hint, p. 3). Present: atop the Tower of Justice Robin declares she summoned the Buster Call on all of Enies Lobby and on herself, names her enemy as “simply the world, and its darkness,” and insists the crew will betray her so she “wants to die now” (pp. 8–10). Reversal: Luffy orders Sogeking to burn the World Government flag (the Declaration of War, pp. 11–14) and demands “SAY THAT YOU WANT TO LIVE!” (p. 16), forcing her to finally scream “I WANT TO LIVE!! …Take me with you to sea!!” (pp. 17–18) — the emotional turn of her rescue arc and the payoff of the Ohara-survivor / concealed-wish seeds.

Ch. 397 — pp. 6–8, 14–20

The destruction of Ohara is shown from young Robin’s POV: she cries “Mother!!” as the island burns (p. 6) and is rejected by the evacuation ship as “a monster” / “a demon” — “the daughter of that criminal” Olvia and “a target of this attack” as an archaeologist (pp. 7–8). Spandine explicitly bars her from the ship (p. 8). Saul shelters her and sends her to sea alone, telling her “the sea is vast… you’ll find friends who will protect you… no one is ever born into this world completely alone” and to “laugh when it’s unbearable” (pp. 14–18) — the source of her “Dereshishi” laugh and her lifelong drive to find belonging. Kuzan (Aokiji) spares her (vs. Sakazuki, who destroys the evacuation ship), freezing a path so her raft escapes — establishing her canonically as the lone survivor of the Ohara genocide (pays off the @0374 exposition). She sails away weeping, hearing Saul’s “Go and find your friends, Robin!! Somewhere out at sea… I know they’re waiting” (pp. 19–20).

Established as able to read the Poneglyph as a child — Olvia praises her (“That’s not something just anyone can do… That is wonderful, Robin!”, p. 6).

Robin’s homeland is named on-page for the first time — Ohara — and the Buster Call that erased it is attached to her origin: Spandam, “this was the power that wiped out your homeland, Nico Robin… the name Ohara disappeared from maps the following year” (pp. 9–10).
Her cold guardian Aunt Roji (a relative) excludes her from the family birthday dinner, leaving only a chores list and “bread, so please fix yourself dinner” (pp. 17–18).

Enies Lobby (Ch. 390) — Staged as bait on the courthouse roof: “You want to die?!”

Held captive on the courthouse roof beside Spandam/CP9. Spandam stages her as bait: he wants Luffy to plead so she can “utterly reject” him, then has her scream “You want to die?!” down at the rescue squad (pp. 13, 17). Hardens Robins Concealed Wish (the “say it to our faces” demand sets up the forward “I want to live!!” reversal — still pending).

Enies Lobby (Ch. 389 — “Response”) — Rejects rescue at the courthouse balcony: “I just… want to die!!”

Reunited with Luffy and Franky at the courthouse-roof balcony after Franky snaps their shared chains and Coup-de-Vents them to safety (p. 11), Robin refuses to be saved: “How many times must I tell you?! I’m not coming back to you and the crew!! …Go home!! I don’t even want to see your faces anymore!!” (p. 14).
When Luffy demands “Did I ever ask you to come?! Why did you come to save me?!”, she answers — the emotional peak of her concealed-motive defection — “I just… WANT TO DIE!!” (p. 15). The crew “risked their lives to come here”; her reply: “That was their decision.”
⚠️ This is the inverse setup for the arc’s still-forward payoff (her “I want to live!!” cry).

Captive aboard the Puffing Tom (Car One) with the chained Franky, riding toward Enies Lobby; lays out the World Government’s plan: with “the two keys to the reactivation of the Ancient Weapon” seized, the Government can “activate a weapon that already exists” and use that excess military force to end the Age of Pirates and “grip the world and destroy it” (pp. 3-4). Feeds Ancient Weapons.
Refuses rescue: “I’ll hurt them just by being with them…!! …The government people call your existence a crime” — framing her self-as-danger arc, answered by Franky’s full-panel “EXISTING IS NOT A CRIME!!!” (pp. 4-5). Seeds Franky Existing Is Not A Crime Declaration.

When Sanji breaks in and begs her to return, she answers coldly: “You won’t understand… unless I spell it out for you.” (p. 17) and declares “Nico Robin… is ours!!!” (pp. 18-19) — escalating the Ch. 347 “I’ve left the crew” stance into an operational, face-to-face rejection of the rescue.

Quit being so inconsiderate!!!!” (p. 5), “You’re the ones who don’t understand!!!” (p. 5). The crew “won’t get the way Luffy works,” she says; she calls the rescuers inconsiderate.

Her staged defection is laid out in interleaved flashback. CP9 (via Kalifa, p. 3) gave her TWO conditions — pin the assassination on the Straw Hats and surrender herself to the Government — in exchange for NO Buster Call against the crew (p. 12). She accepted the deal to protect them.
Her “wish”: “I want the six remaining Straw Hat pirates… to sail from this island in safety.” (pp. 13-15). “For the past 20 years I’ve just run away and survived… but now I can’t do that.” Recasts the apparent betrayal as protective self-sacrifice.
Declares the seized Pluton blueprints are FAKE and that she “won’t hand the blueprints over to the government… even if it kills me” (p. 10).

Water Seven (Ch. 344) — ⭐⭐ Cornered by Iceberg, who lays out her Ohara/Poneglyph significance; the Pluton confrontation

Cornered in the mayor’s bedroom by a wounded, gun-wielding Iceberg (pp. 8–9), who says he’s “always wanted to meet” her and confronts her over the Ancient Weapons.
Iceberg lays out her significance on-page: the lone child who escaped the Ohara incident 20 years ago, “the only person in the world who can decipher the writing” on the Poneglyphs, hence “the only one who can reactivate the Ancient Weapons” — the reason for her huge bounty since age 8 (pp. 10–15). Her child “WANTED — NICO ROBIN” poster is shown (p. 11). Feeds True History Ohara Was Killed For.
States her stance: “that’s got nothing to do with me,” “you can’t expect weapons to bring peace,” and “the evils of the past should not be reawakened” — even as she’s accused of working for the government (pp. 12–13). She implies she’s “left the Straw Hat Pirates” (p. 12). (Leverage CP9 holds over her still unstated.) Cross-link Iceberg, CP9, Poneglyph, Ancient Weapons, True History Ohara Was Killed For.

Water Seven (Ch. 343) — ⭐ The “betrayal” recast as CP9 coercion: ordered to kill Iceberg, anguishes over framing the Straw Hats

Revealed to be acting WITH CP9 under coercion (in a domino eye-mask, “the CP9 way,” p. 13) — answering the @0342 open question of why she works against Iceberg.
Ordered by the lead CP9 agent to take Iceberg’s life: “…you will take Iceberg’s life… to finish him” once the comrades secure the blueprints from Paulie (p. 15).
Visibly anguishes over implicating Luffy’s crew — ”…I’ve done something terrible… to the Straw Hat boy. He wasn’t part of this, was he?” (p. 13). Establishes a reluctant agent regretting the frame, not a willing traitor; the leverage CP9 holds over her is the deliberately withheld piece. Cross-link CP9, Iceberg, Robin Ordered To Kill Iceberg Reluctant-Coercion Tell.
Used the Hana-Hana technique “Thorny Road” against the mansion guards while breaching it (p. 6).

Water Seven (Ch. 342) — ⭐ SHOWN coordinating the Galley-La heist of her own initiative; the willing-operative reveal

Confirmed to be ACTIVELY COORDINATING the Galley-La Company infiltration of her own initiative — not merely framed. A masked accomplice (horned iron mask — vault-canon Blueno by inference, UNNAMED on-page) radios “Ready, Nico Robin?” and a four-person team awaits her signal (p. 13). Resolves the Ch. 337 ambiguity (she had silently read the frame-up headline; Iceberg had named “two assassins”).
Her assigned role is “create a distraction”: she sets off a large plaza-explosion — the “flashy signal” that “was planted” (pp. 14–15).
She has “memorized the layout of the mansion” (p. 18) and personally corners Paulie at the safe alongside the masked man, demanding “Hand it over” (p. 19).
Open question seeded: why she is willingly working against Iceberg / what hold her partners have over her. Cross-link CP9, Ancient Weapons, Robin Coordinates Galley-La Heist With Masked Man Willing-Operative Reveal.

Water Seven (Ch. 341) — Off-panel; her parting line drives the crew’s “CATCH ROBIN!!”; Iceberg keeps her poster and calls her “a demon”

Off-panel this chapter — Robin does NOT appear in panel. Her @0340 parting line to Chopper — “After today, we’ll never meet again. Things will only get worse from here on out” — is recalled and becomes the spine of the crew’s deduction (pp. 2–3); they resolve to “CATCH ROBIN!!” and hear the truth from her directly (Luffy, p. 5).
Reaffirmed: the World Government “has been trying to catch her for 20 years and they still haven’t” (Nami, p. 6) — consistent with the Alabasta-era Smoker exposition.
Iceberg keeps her 79,000,000-berry wanted poster on his bedroom wall; pressed why, he calls her “a demon” and says “It’s better if you don’t know” (p. 18) — a tell that Iceberg already knows who/what Robin is (the chapter title). Cross-link Iceberg, Iceberg Keeps Robin Wanted Poster Calls Her A Demon, CP9, Ancient Weapons.

Water Seven (Ch. 340) — ⭐⭐ Quits the crew on-page: the “darkness” speech, the confirmed break-in, the death-toned “Goodbye”

Apparent betrayal — quits the crew on-page. Amid the Aqua Laguna evacuation she confronts Sanji and Chopper (who tracked her by scent) and declares “I won’t be going back… to the crew. We part ways. This is where…” (pp. 11–12). First on-page Robin-leaves-the-Straw-Hats beat (apparent defection — the true CP9 cause is not yet disclosed on-page).
The “darkness” speech (chapter title line). “There is a darkness in me that you and the crew do not know. A darkness that will someday destroy you” (p. 13); and “Every organization that Nico Robin has been associated with to date… has fallen… yet she always survives” (p. 13) — load-bearing pre-load of the Ohara-survivor backstory and the coerced-self-sacrifice true motive. Cross-link Robin Darkness That Will Destroy You Departure Speech, Robin Every Organization Falls Yet She Survives Ohara-Survivor Tell, True History Ohara Was Killed For.
Confirms the break-in. “I was definitely the one who entered the mayor’s mansion last night… there are no lies about me in that article” (pp. 12–13) — confirms her half of the Ch. 337 accusation against Iceberg’s mansion while withholding the motive (“There’s no need for you to know”) and never naming the second assassin. Then weaponizes the frame: “It’s convenient that the locals are blaming you for the attack… as that will help me make my escape” (pp. 13–14). The confirm-the-act / hide-the-why pattern mirrors her Alabasta poneglyph behavior. Cross-link CP9, Iceberg.
The farewell. “We’ll never meet again… I didn’t deserve it, but thank you for the kindness you’ve shown me till now. Goodbye.” (pp. 14–15). The gratitude-plus-finality register is a death-farewell, not a leave-taking. Sanji refuses it (“Robin! Come back with us!!”, “Quit joking around!!!”) and gives chase with Chopper but loses her (pp. 14–16).

Water Seven (Ch. 339) — ⭐ Shown taking secret CP9 orders; the “betrayal” recast as coercion

Shown in a vacant backstreet warehouse with a shadowy CP9 handler (in silhouette, unnamed — Spandam is NOT named this chapter), revealed to be acting “in the name of CP9,” framed as “a mission for justice” (pp. 18–19). The apparent betrayal is mission-driven / coerced, not free choice — recasting the @0335/0337 frame-up.
Ordered to break into Iceberg’s mansion again tonight and steal what “someone named Tom” originally had — Iceberg being “the only one still living among his followers” — and to “erase all evidence” if things go wrong (pp. 18–19). (Object unnamed on-page; inference → the Pluton blueprints.)
Acknowledges she’s “become wanted by the entire town… but it’s only temporary” (p. 18) — she expects to undo the frame; her hidden bargain to protect the crew is seeded here.
Iceberg testified he “saw Nico Robin with my own eyes” the night he was attacked and asked to see her “one more time” (pp. 9–10) — (Robin herself is shown only in the closing warehouse scene; the bedside line is Iceberg’s testimony about her.) Cross-link CP9, Tom, Iceberg, Ancient Weapons.

Water Seven (Ch. 338) — Referenced-only; the frame-up keeps driving the manhunt (off-page — does NOT appear)

Referenced-only: a foreman/voice argues “Robin has no reason to go after Mr. Iceberg any more than we do!!” (p. 5) — the frame-up continues to drive the Galley-La Company manhunt while Robin remains off-page. Cross-link CP9, Iceberg.

Water Seven (Ch. 337) — ⭐ The frame-up IGNITES; Robin shown alone reading the manhunt headline

Named by the World Government as one of two assassins of Mayor Iceberg. Galley-La Company relays the government’s claim to the Straw Hats: one of Iceberg’s assassins was “a bounty named Nico Robin” (pp. 14–15). This is the on-page ignition of the Robin frame-up — a crewmate publicly accused, the engine of the Water Seven / Enies Lobby road. The chapter neither confirms nor denies she participated; her side is withheld.
Luffy refuses to believe it — “STOP TELLING LIES ABOUT HER!! YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW ROBIN!!” (p. 17); Nami too (“It’s gotta be a mistake! It couldn’t have been Robin!!”).
SHOWN on-page (final panel): separated from the crew, Robin reads the newspaper headline “THE CRIMINALS ARE HERE ON THIS ISLAND!!” alone (p. 19) — she is aware of the frame. Cross-link CP9, Iceberg, Robin Named As Iceberg Assassin Frame-Up Ignition.

Water Seven (Ch. 336) — Named & postered as a Straw Hat culprit (off-page — does NOT appear)

Named on-page as a member of the Straw Hat gang by a Galley-La Company aide, and shown on the circulating wanted poster alongside Luffy and Zoro (pp. 10–11). Mayor Iceberg has identified her as one of his attackers and contacted the government — the frame-up goes public and ignites the island manhunt. Cross-link CP9.

Water Seven (Ch. 335) — Named & accused by Iceberg as his masked attacker (off-page — does NOT appear)

Named by Iceberg as one of his attackers (pp. 18–19). Iceberg, waking from his coma, describes two intruders — “a large guy with a mask on” and “a tall black-haired woman” with “those sharp eyes” — and, over her ¥79,000,000 wanted poster, names her: ”…Nico Robin. It had to be…” Robin is not shown this chapter; this is the accusation that frames the Straw Hats and drives the arc’s CP9 intrigue. last_appearance is NOT advanced (no on-page appearance — named/accused only). Cross-link Iceberg Names Nico Robin As His Masked Attacker, Robin Vanishes The Night Iceberg Is Shot Apparent-Betrayal Seed.

Water Seven (Ch. 334) — Vanishes the night of the Iceberg shooting (off-page — does NOT appear)

Robin never returned to the crew the night Iceberg was shot. Sanji “stayed by Rocky Cape all night keeping watch… just in case Robin returned,” but “she didn’t say a word” and her whereabouts are unknown; the crew splits to search for her (pp. 7–8, 14). Robin does not appear on-page — her absence is dropped immediately beside the assassination news, seeding the apparent-betrayal framing (Robin placed at/near the masked attack) that detonates in the following chapters. last_appearance is NOT advanced (no on-page appearance this chapter). Cross-link CP9, Straw Hat Recruitment Pattern, Robin Vanishes The Night Iceberg Is Shot Apparent-Betrayal Seed.

Water Seven (Ch. 326)

Glimpsed by Sanji on a Water Seven backstreet, then mysteriously vanishes — “There aren’t any doors or pathways here… She just disappeared” (pp. 3–5). Compounds the Ch. 325 “I’m with CP9” backstreet encounter; Robin is being quietly drawn away from the crew (CP9-surveillance seed).

Water Seven — ⭐ first CP9 encounter (Ch. 325)

Strolls the Water Seven backstreets with Chopper; her habit of reading crowds is restated (“Ever since I was little, I’ve observed people’s moods and listened to them talk”, p. 7) — she picks up the San Faldo costume-festival explanation for the masked pedestrians.
LOAD-BEARING: a masked figure tells her “I’m with CP9. / I’m heading in!” and walks on (pp. 8–9). Robin freezes in silent alarm — first on-page CP9 mention, and her reaction is the chapter’s heaviest tell, tied to her World-Government-targeted past. Pre-loads the Water Seven / Enies Lobby antagonist front and her defection arc. Cross-link CP9, CP9 First Named On-Page Robin Backstreet Encounter.

Long Ring Long Land — frozen by Aokiji, marked “a great danger” (Ch. 321)

Frozen solid by Aokiji’s ice power; Aokiji had told the crew “she’s still alive” even completely frozen. Chopper and Nami thaw her in the Merry’s shower room (pp. 2–5); Chopper has “never seen a person completely frozen.”
Admiral-level warning attached to her: Aokiji to Luffy — “Nico Robin was born with a brutal personality… taking that woman on board your ship… is a great danger” (pp. 13–14). First top-Marine flag that Robin’s past makes her a Government concern — pre-loads her Ohara backstory and the forward-canon Enies Lobby arc. See Aokiji Warns Nico Robin Is A Great Danger Admiral-Flag On Robins Past, True History Ohara Was Killed For.
Survives; Chopper confirms “both of their hearts are beating” (p. 18). Closing panel holds on Robin awake and silent in her bunk while the others sleep (p. 20) — Oda lingers on her unease after Aokiji’s words.

Long Ring Long Land — Aokiji exposes her past (Ch. 320)

Aokiji narrates Robin’s shadow-history to the Straw Hats: a bounty at age 8, a lifetime of joining organizations that then “fall” while she “always survives,” betraying people and escaping unharmed as a child (pp. 2–6). First time the crew hears the full serial-survivor framing.
Visibly rattled, Robin attacks first with “Trienta Fleurs / Clutch” (Hana Hana no Mi) — “If you want to capture me, just do it!!” — but it fails against the intangible Logia (pp. 6–8). A defection-/abandonment-pre-tell: Robin would rather provoke her own capture than have the crew endangered for her.
Aokiji freezes her entire body solid (p. 13); the crew catches the frozen statue before it shatters and rushes her to the ship to thaw (pp. 13–18). Robin spends the rest of the chapter as a frozen casualty Usopp/Chopper carry off. See Aokiji Ice If She Breaks She Dies Shatter-Death Mechanic.

Long Ring Long Land (Ch. 319) — Aokiji surfaces her hidden past

Confronted by Admiral Aokiji, who says “we go way back”; Robin is uncharacteristically terrified — “I’ve never seen Robin so agitated” (pp. 1–2). First on-page beat where her hunted Marine-entangled history is openly invoked by a character who clearly knows it. See True History Ohara Was Killed For.
Robin delivers the exposition canonizing the Marine command structure (three Admirals; Fleet Admiral Sengoku above them; “ultimate military force,” p. 4) and identifies Aokiji’s power as the Chilly-Chilly Fruit (Hie Hie no Mi), a Logia (p. 14). See Marine Admirals.
Aokiji states he came specifically “to verify Nico Robin’s whereabouts after she disappeared from Alabasta” and “to get a glimpse of Nico Robin and [Luffy]” (pp. 6, 19) — pre-loads the Ohara/Buster-Call backstory and the True-History thread.

Long Ring Long Land (Ch. 318)

Marine Admiral Aokiji recognizes her by name (p. 19): “you’ve turned into a pretty woman… Nico Robin.” His phrasing implies he knew her before her adult bounty era — a seed pointing at Robin’s buried pre-Baroque-Works / childhood past. See Admiral Aokiji Personally Recognizes Nico Robin, True History Ohara Was Killed For.
Robin reacts with visible fear/shock at being recognized by an Admiral — first crack in her guardedness since joining the crew, foreshadowing the Robin-vs-the-World-Government stakes of the coming saga.
Earlier in the chapter (p. 7) she affirms her commitment to the crew: “There’d be no point in me being a pirate if not on this ship.”

Long Ring Long Land — Combat (Round 3) conclusion (Ch. 317)

Ringside spectator during the Luffy-vs-Foxy duel (pp. 4, 12, 22) as the Straw Hats win the Davy Back Fight. The p. 30 SBS Question Corner opens with a reader-as-Robin “Cinco Fleurs” complaint gag (see SBS Volume 33). Presence bump only — no new reveal.

Long Ring Long Land — Groggy Ring climax (Ch. 312)

Tips the Groggy Ring in the Straw Hats’ favor by directly attacking the referee with a Hana-Hana strike (“a direct attack on the stands… no, on the ref!!”, “BADOOM!!”, pp. 14–15), suppressing a red-card call. Coolly answers Nami’s “What a naughty girl you are.” — a characterization tell of her ruthless pragmatism.

Long Ring Long Land (Ch. 304)

Reads the derelict ship: no battle damage, but “missing just that special spark that all pirates have” — concludes they were pirates anyway (pp. 6–7). (Misdirection — the ship is the Foxy Pirates.) See Long Ring Long Land.
(Ch. 305) Aboard the Going Merry when it drifts off the island on its own (cliffhanger, p. 14) — off-panel; her absence (with Sanji and Usopp) sets up the arc’s separation.
(Ch. 306) Explains the Davy Back Fight’s origins and the meaning of “Davy Jones” / “Davy Back” to the crew (and to a frightened Tony Tony Chopper). Assigned to Round 1, the Donut Race, with Nami and Usopp; targeted by Porche as a recruitment prize.
(Ch. 307) Uses her Hana-Hana power (“Ocho Fleurs”) to seize and flip the Foxy boat during the Donut Race (p. 10). Comic beat: keeps trying to “read” mid-race (“Robin! This is no time for reading!!”).

Long Ring Long Land — Donut Race (Ch. 308)

Executes Usopp’s plan with a new Hana-Hana technique, “Flower Shuriken” — bladed flower-petals that fell the giant bamboo at the cape so the Barrel Tiger can ramp over Long Ring Bamboo Grove Cape (p. 16, “FOOF FOOF”; onlookers: “Flower magic?!”). See Hana Hana no Mi.

Skypiea epilogue / Blue Sea (Ch. 303)

Quietly present among the crew on the return to the Blue Sea and during the treasure divvy (pp. 10, 14-16).

Skypiea — finale (Ch. 302)

Reflects on the Shandian children — “to think there are warriors that strong in the Blue Sea too” (p. 3) — as Aisa says she wants to be like Luffy. Among the descending crew.
(No new Poneglyph / Roger / “D.” statements this chapter — those were Ch. 301; do not re-cite the Void-Century / Will-of-D threads to 0302. Robin’s 302 lines are reflective only.)

Skypiea — ⭐ the Shandora Poneglyph: Poseidon, Roger’s message, and “Monkey D. Luffy” (Ch. 301)

Reads the Shandora Poneglyph on the recovered Golden Bell: the makers’ creed in full, the location of the Ancient Weapon “Poseidon” (“another weapon, different from the Pluton in Alabasta”), and a separate message carved by Gol D. Roger (“I hereby guide this document to its end”). She recoils at the Poseidon line — “I don’t want to know things like this.” See Ancient Weapons.
States her two-type Poneglyph theory (information stones vs location stones) and the “blank history” completed-text concept (pp. 13–14) — the first time she articulates the Poneglyph-network premise that defines her forward quest. See Poneglyph, Void Century and Ancient Kingdom, True History Ohara Was Killed For.
Confirms Roger reached Raftel “at the end of the Grand Line” (pp. 14–15) and that he could read and write the script. See Roger’s Message On The Shandora Poneglyph I Hereby Guide This Document To Its End, What is the One Piece.
Names “Monkey D. Luffy,” reads “the same feel about him as Roger once did,” and is “quite interested in him myself” / believes he is “destined to make his mark on history” (p. 16) — a Will-of-D succession beat and a quiet step in her bonding with the crew. See Will of D.

Skypiea — aftermath / Symphony (Ch. 300)

Returns Aisa’s “treasure” to her with a grin (p. 3).
Frames the arc’s “real treasure” theme: “I’d rather have Dials than gold… We can’t get those once we’re back in the Blue Sea” (p. 5) — Dials over loose gold. See Dials Skypiean Sea-Shell Technology.
Notes “the only thing golden about El Dorado now is its name” (p. 5) — the City-of-Gold’s loose gold is gone; the bell has already fallen.

Skypiea — recaps the Noland legend / bell purpose (Ch. 296)

Re-tells the Noland legend for the reader and states Luffy’s reason for ringing the Golden Bell: to prove to the descendants still chasing “El Dorado” that the city was real and in the sky (pp. 11–13). Names Mont Blanc Noland and the descendant Mont Blanc Cricket; calls Noland “a romantic” who “would give up his chance to escape, just for that.” Recognizes and names Wyper’s Reject Dial (p. 14) — “I-Impossible… a Reject Dial?!”. See The Noland Legend and the City of Gold. (Cricket appears only inside this recap narration — NOT a present-day cut.)

Skypiea (Ch. 295) — reads the falling-vine message; coordinates the survivors

Among the ruins-side group; spots and helps read the message dropped via the falling giant vine: “It’s a message! It’s from Luffy and Nami!” / “cut down this giant vine” (p. 12). Coordinates the survivors’ reaction to Enel felling the Giant Jack. See Luffy, Nami.

Skypiea (Ch. 294) — minor reaction inset

Brief reaction inset (p. 6) reaffirming the bell’s location as Enel’s Raigo (“Kingdom Come”) erases Angel Island: “the bell that the great warrior Kalgara longed for — it’s right above us.” Keeps the Golden Bell pinned as the climactic objective. See The Noland Legend and the City of Gold.

Skypiea (Ch. 293)

With Nami’s group, deduces the Golden Bell’s location: the giant vine pierces the Shandora city center; per the ruins’ map the great bell tower was at the city center; the vine entwined with the tower and “forced it up even higher” — the bell is “near the top” of the giant vine (p. 18). The archaeologist track now pinpoints the climactic objective. See The Noland Legend and the City of Gold.

Skypiea — watches the Maxim climb toward the bell (Ch. 285)

Stranded on the Giant Jack vine, watches the Ark Maxim climb and notes “the ship is… going toward the bell tower” (page 9), worrying the crew may be aboard.
Reunites with the group; uses her Hana Hana hands (“she’s growing hands!!”) to steady Sanji/Usopp amid the chaos (page 10).

Skypiea (Ch. 278)

Inside the crumbling Upper Yard / Giant Jack ruins as they collapse (“WOOOO”); plans to ascend to the top level and escape, noting she can’t carry everything at once (pp. 15–16). (Likely poneglyph/ruins material she is salvaging — inference, not stated on-page this chapter.)
(RECURRING — only last_appearance advances to Ch. 278.)

Skypiea — Shandora ruins, after Wyper (Ch. 277)

Found badly beaten in the Shandora ruins alongside Zolo, defeated by Wyper (“the guy with the bazooka,” p. 16).
Delivers exposition to Luffy: Enel — the “Kami” — took the navigator (Nami); Skypiea will be destroyed; Enel will go to where the gold bell is (pp. 16–18). See The Noland Legend and the City of Gold.
Notes a Mantra limit: “when I was in the snake my Mantra wasn’t working” (p. 16) — Mantra failed inside the giant serpent’s body. See Mantra Is The In-World Observation-Haki Precursor.
(RECURRING — only last_appearance advances to Ch. 277.)

Skypiea — names Enel’s fruit; the Golden-Bell gambit (Ch. 274)

Identifies Enel’s power on-page: “Probably the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!! A Devil Fruit… one of the few considered invincible… the power of lightning” (pp. 17–18). First on-page restatement of the Goro Goro no Mi (named Ch. 266) by the crew’s archaeologist as Enel demonstrates it against Gan Fall.
Attempts to outmaneuver Enel over the Golden Bell’s location; Enel sees through it (“You are shallow… I despise conniving women”) and strikes her and Nami down (pp. 20–22). Ties her True-History / City-of-Gold investigation directly into Enel’s endgame. See The Noland Legend and the City of Gold, Shandora.
(RECURRING — only last_appearance advances to Ch. 274.)

Skypiea — falls with the ruins (Ch. 273)

Falls with the ruins (“Are they the ruins?! Why such huge pieces from above?!”) and is told by Gan Fall that this is her “city of gold” but there’s no gold here (pages 5–6). Survives among Enel’s five. (The gold is the Golden Bell established Ch. 272, not loose treasure in the ruins — see City of Gold, Shandora, The Noland Legend and the City of Gold.)
(RECURRING — only last_appearance advances to Ch. 273.)

Skypiea (Ch. 272) — identifies Shandora; ties the Poneglyph-makers to a city; confronts Enel

Reads the Upper Yard ruins on-site and identifies them as Shandora, the Golden City — the capital from Noland’s papers (pp. 2–5). Recognizes the carved script as Poneglyph script and recalls the makers’ creed (“We are the ones who weave history… keep your mouth silent”, p. 3). See Shandora, Void Century and Ancient Kingdom, True History Ohara Was Killed For.
Deduces the city was ruined protecting its Poneglyph and that its history was deliberately erased after it “fought the enemy” (pp. 3, 5) — a key step in her True-History quest.
Confronts Enel directly; extracts from him that he knows nothing of the Golden Bell or any Poneglyph, and locates the bell (“in the center of the four altars,” p. 4). Composed and probing throughout. (VIZ: “Nico Robin.”)
(RECURRING — only last_appearance advances to Ch. 272.)

Skypiea — discovering Shandora (Ch. 268)

Finds “a way underneath” the surface Upper Yard ruins, descends a vine-choked shaft, and determines the visible stone city is “just the top layer” — “sky clouds have simply taken over the land” (pp. 10-15).
Reads the deep ruin as a “blue sea ruin… on an island cloud” — a surface-world city now resting in the sky (pp. 11-15).
Delivers the arc payoff: emerges into the intact lower city and names it Shandora, the lost City of Gold — “Eight hundred years ago, the City of Shandora suddenly disappeared… and yet here it is in all its glory.” (pp. 17-19). The crew’s archaeologist confirms the Noland legend’s central object. See Shandora, The Noland Legend and the City of Gold.
(RECURRING — only last_appearance advances to Ch. 268.)

Skypiea — Shandoran ruins (Ch. 267)

Closing panel: stands alone in profile before vine-wrapped Shandoran ruins and a large carved stone face / glyph, contemplating the city’s history while the brawl unfolds elsewhere (page 20). Continues her solo investigation of Shandora (cf. her bell-structure approach Ch. 263). Inference: foreshadows the Shandora poneglyph reveal. See The Noland Legend and the City of Gold.
(RECURRING — only last_appearance advances to Ch. 267.)

Skypiea — Robin vs. Yama, the Heavenly Warriors Commander (Ch. 265)

Title fight: defeats Yama, the rotund winged Commander of Enel’s Heavenly Warriors / God’s Army (Heavenly Warriors), who hunts and crushes the Upper Yard ancient ruins (pp. 8-20).
Technique escalation: lands Treinta Fleurs (p. 11), takes a heavy body-blow from Yama (“he’s so heavy!”, p. 12), then finishes with Cien Fleurs: Delphinium — a ground-erupting field of arms — and a Clutch (pp. 16-20). First on-page Cien Fleurs (hundred-arm) tier for Robin — a scale-up of her Spanish-numeral Fleurs grammar (Hana Hana no Mi) beyond the Treinta tier debuted at Ch. 201.
Archaeologist-defender register crystallizes: she refuses to forgive Yama for desecrating the ruins — “the site you destroyed was a priceless treasure… historical sites belong to no one… but we can never return to the past.” / “You do such horrible things.” (pp. 10, 15, 19-20). The Upper Yard ruins become her central arc stake (City of Gold / Shandora seed). See The Noland Legend and the City of Gold.

Skypiea — Upper Yard, defending the Shandora ruins from Yama (Ch. 264)

Defends the Shandora ruins and their carved hieroglyphs from destruction during her fight with the priest Yama (pp. 7-11): “Oh no! The hieroglyphs!!” (p. 8).
Thesis exchange with Yama (pp. 9-10): Yama mocks her for “clinging to this dried-up city”; Robin retorts “Of course not! I have no interest in the past!” then “Fools who don’t respect the past are doomed to repeat it.” — first articulation of her keep-history-alive creed in Skypiea. Cross-link True History Ohara Was Killed For, The Noland Legend and the City of Gold.
Combat: “Veinte Fleurs,” “Meriya,” “Candula” (Hana Hana no Mi) used to fend off Yama’s “Mountain Belly” / “Mountain Punch.”

Skypiea — Upper Yard, cornered in the Shandora ruins (Ch. 263)

Appears wounded/panting in the Shandora ruins, having reached a great ribbed bell-shaped structure resonating in the wind (p. 19); cornered by an unseen attacker (“Not so tough, are you?” / “Well, well, young lady…”). Arc cliffhanger. See Bell-Shaped Structure In The Shandora Ruins.

Skypiea (Ch. 261) — names and dates Shandora; ties it to the Void Century

Explores the Upper Yard ruins and reads the stone memorial: deciphers the ancient city’s name as Shandora, destroyed 800 years ago after thriving “over 1,100 years ago” (the year 402 of Kaien) (p. 13).
States the fall “falls right into the hundred year gap in the history of this world… the unspoken history that the land below has ceased to talk about” (pp. 13-14) — her first on-page link of Skypiea’s ruins to the Void Century (Void Century and Ancient Kingdom), foreshadowing her Poneglyph/True-History role.
Recovers a complete stone map of Shandora, intending to find “clues to the unspoken history” toward the city center (p. 14).
Stumbled upon by a Heavenly Warrior (“Young lady!… who’s there?!”) at the chapter’s end (pp. 14-15).

Skypiea (Ch. 258)

Splits from the gold-search party to explore the Upper Yard ruins alone; cool-assessor register — “Things seem to have gotten… pretty lively in the forest” (pp. 7-8).
Reads the overgrown stonework as a swallowed city — “It’s been swallowed up by the forest… the ruins of an old hut” (pp. 8-9), her archaeologist instinct pulling toward the ancient remains. See Sky Island Existence.
Intercepted by an axe-dial Shandian guarding the “route to the Kami’s temple” who calls further passage “sacrilege”; she counters and folds him with a Seis Fleurs twist, remarking “What a terrible thing to do” at the result (pp. 9-12).

Skypiea (Ch. 254)

Appears in the title spread and crew planning scene; part of the Search Team headed for the gold/ruins (pages 1-2, 18-19). See The Noland Legend and the City of Gold.

Skypiea — reading the Survival-Game data (Ch. 252)

At the altar reunion, Robin analyzes the gathered data: identifies Upper Yard as the “El Dorado” the Saruyama Alliance sought (p. 18) and glosses Mantra as the power the priests “use to predict our moves” (p. 18). See The Noland Legend and the City of Gold, Mantra, Mantra Is The In-World Observation-Haki Precursor.
“We can’t just ignore it when fate drops a treasure trove in our path” — endorses the gold hunt (p. 19).

Skypiea (Ch. 248)

Among the captured at the Sacrificial Altar when Shura attacks; not a focal actor this chapter.

Skypiea — the thousand-year-old altar (Ch. 245)

Dates the Upper Yard forest at ~1,000 years from tree size vs. a 200-year-old map (pages 2–3) — her historian’s eye is already reading the land’s antiquity.
Physically “tingles all over” at a thousand-year-old historical relic on the sacrificial altar and resolves to explore “for history” (pages 13, 15) — her poneglyph-hunting compulsion surfacing as a body-level pull. Recurring Robin tell. See Robin Tingles At Thousand-Year Historical Relic Poneglyph-Hunter Tell.
Cool under fire: helps catch Nami mid-vine-descent; “You’re pretty gutsy” (pages 16–17).

Skypiea (Ch. 242)

Performs the extol→berry currency conversion on-page (10,000 extols = 1 berry → 70 billion extols = 7 million berries; original fee 700,000 berries), pages 6–7 — her archaeologist’s exposition role in the arc. See Extol Currency and the Skypiea Exchange Rate.
Identifies the 200-year-old galleon “exiled to the clouds” as the explanation for a ship that fell from the sky (page 10) — first in-arc link between Skypiea’s exile-punishment and the surface Jaya history. See Skypiea Criminal-Offense Statute and Exile to the Clouds, 200-Year Galleon Exiled to the Clouds Links Skypiea and Jaya.

Skypiea (Ch. 239)

Now travelling as a full Straw Hat crew member (post-recruitment).
Confirms this is the Skypiea on Luffy’s map and that the “galleon that fell from the sky 200 years ago really did come here” (p. 8).
Identifies the waver from Mont Blanc Noland’s diary — “boats that run without wind” (p. 16) — her archaeologist/scholar role serving the crew for the first time in this arc. See Waver Sky Jet-Ski, Noland Saw Gold In The Skulls Right Eye.

Skypiea — arrival in the Sky Ocean (Ch. 237)

Pages 9–12: Rescues Usopp from sinking through the cloud sea using Ojos Fleur then Seis Fleurs (eyes bloom across the cloud surface to locate him; arms bloom to pull him up). First Skypiea-era deployment of the Fleurs grammar; Ojos Fleur (“eyes flower,” remote-vision sprout) is a notable named technique here. Cross-link Hana Hana no Mi.
Pages 14–15: Delivers the sky-fish exposition — the cloud fauna “evolved differently from their aquatic cousins,” bodies are airfoils, scales like feathers, more buoyant than water → balloon-like or flat, teeth like carnivores. States “Noland mentioned them in his diary” — Robin is reading/citing Mont Blanc Noland’s diary, reinforcing her archaeologist/reader role and vindicating Noland. Cross-link Sky Fish, Sky Fish Evolved From Aquatic Cousins Noland Diary (new).

Jaya / Sky Island launch (Ch. 236)

Stays composed during the launch; identifies the swallowed creature as a “Neptunian” (sea king) and reasons out (with Nami) that the ship can be sailed up the water current rather than fought (pages 15–17).

Jaya (Ch. 230)

Provides the archaeology read on Cricket’s salvage: gold ingots are “created as a weight standard” for trading, so their presence proves an advanced civilization once existed here (pp. 4–5).
Forms net Team #2 with Zoro to hunt the South Bird; Zoro tells her flatly “I still don’t trust you” — the early Robin-distrust beat continues (pp. 14–15).

Jaya (Ch. 228)

Mont Blanc Noland’s log book corroborates Robin’s earlier claim — “That’s just what Robin said!! A sea in the sky!” (p. 18), reinforcing her scholarly read on sky islands. See Sky Island Existence.

Jaya (Ch. 227)

Names Mont Blanc Cricket as the crew’s destination (p. 3) and relays the rumor that he claims a huge gold hoard exists on Jaya (p. 5) — Robin’s role as the crew’s knowledge-broker continues. Cross-link The Noland Legend and the City of Gold.

Jaya (Ch. 226)

Returns to the Going Merry having “gone shopping for clothes,” but actually gathered intelligence: a purchased map of Jaya Island plus information about Skypiea and where to find Mont Blanc Cricket (p. 7).
Reveals Cricket on the map — “Jaya’s biggest weirdo,” chased out of town for talking about dreams — and tells Luffy “you have something in common” (p. 8).
It is later shown she obtained the Cricket lead by directly questioning the Bellamy Pirates in Mock Town (pp. 19-20); Bellamy’s crew describe her as bold, beautiful, strong, and “mysterious.”
Debuts on the Second One Piece Character Popularity Poll at No. 11 / 722 votes (p. 22, back-matter).

Jaya — aboard the Going Merry (Ch. 222) — The Giant Novice — reveals she stole an Eternal Pose to Jaya from the wreck (“the ape’s ship”), the crew’s only lead to a Sky Island; first post-Alabasta operational contribution as a (de facto) crew member

Produces and explains the stolen Eternal Pose to Jaya (p. 5): “I stole it back there from the ape’s ship.” / “This must be their home base.” First on-page use of an Eternal Pose recovered from a defeated crew; the navigational lead that drives the entire Jaya leg. Cross-link Eternal Pose, Jaya.
Cool-detached register: “This is a ship of fools.” / “And now we’ve totally lost our way!” (p. 4) — comedic-aloof tone, first sustained on-deck Robin/crew banter beat.

Jaya (Ch. 221)

Aboard as a settled Straw Hat (recruited Ch. 218); comedically branded “evil” by Usopp and Chopper amid the monster-gauntlet panic (p. 7). Cool-assessor register: “This was bound to happen if the hoses weren’t cut” (p. 6).

Jaya (Ch. 219)

First post-recruitment chapter showing Robin as an integrated, useful crew member (not stowaway/antagonist). Acts as the crew’s forensic archaeologist: dissects the salvaged skeleton, reads ~200-year-old trepanation marks (“the marks of brain surgery”), and dates the bones (pp. 5–6).
Identifies the wreck as a South Blue exploration ship from the kingdom of St. Briss, set sail 208 years ago by reading its symbol/garb/tar-marks (pp. 5–6) — “you figured all that out from a bunch of bones?”
Delivers the chapter’s load-bearing navigation doctrine: “We must never suspect the Log Pose… wherever that needle points, there will always be an island” (pp. 3–4), reasoning out the existence of a sky island.
Reacts skeptically/dryly to the crew’s salvage plan (“Raising a sunken ship… it’s impossible — that ship’s too big”), then goes along (pp. 10–13).

Jaya arc — joins the crew, true-history quest stated (Ch. 218)

Flashback (pp. 4-6): first on-page statement of her reason to live — the single poneglyph recording the true history among the world’s many; 20-year search; wanted to die in the chamber.
Frames poneglyphs as a distributed cipher (pp. 4, 6): “Can these scripts be spun together to tell of untold history… is that what the poneglyphs are?” — seeds the read-them-all premise.
Present (pp. 8-9): accepted into the Straw Hat Pirates — recruited via the saved-against-her-will / debt frame (“you made me live; that’s your crime”).
p. 19: names the Sky Island that captured the crew’s Log Pose — opens the Jaya/Skypiea adventure.

Alabasta — aboard the Going Merry (Ch. 217) — Stowaway — reveals herself as a stowaway and asks to join the crew (request, not yet accepted)

LOAD-BEARING — first on-page Robin-asks-to-join-the-Straw-Hats beat (Ch. 217 pp. 17-20). After an “Enemy raid!!” panic, Robin (Miss All Sunday) is revealed to have been a stowaway below deck the entire time the crew sailed from Alabasta — fresh from a shower, in borrowed clothes. She menaces Luffy (“Monkey D. Luffy… You haven’t forgotten what you did to me, have you? …I suffered a great deal because of you. …Now… take responsibility.”) and then drops the full-page request (p. 20): “I want… to join your crew.” Luffy + crew: “WHAT?!” First overt payoff of the long-running Robin-secretly-allied-with-Strawhats tell-cluster (Ch. 0114 Eternal Pose gift → Ch. 0174 all according to plan → Ch. 0180 saves-Luffy + D-question → Ch. 0181 over-briefs the BW ambush). The double-agent register resolves into an explicit self-recruitment request. NOTE: this is Robin ASKING — the formal acceptance + new post-Alabasta bounties are forward-canon (Ch. 218), which we have NOT yet read. She is a pending-recruit, not a confirmed crew member, as of 0217.
Recruitment-via-villain-frame self-recruitment — Robin is the purest on-page instance of the recruitment-pattern’s future-crewmate-first-met-as-presumed-enemy-then-recruits-herself sub-template (cf. Ch. 0103/0106/0114 install). She recruits herself (like Usopp Ch. 0040), but from the villain-frame.
First use of the civilian name in the crew-context — Luffy addresses her register-confusedly; the Nico Robin name (Ch. 0177 Crocodile-spoken) is now the operative one as she leaves Baroque Works behind for good.
Cross-link Luffy (Ch. 0217 join-target), Straw Hat Pirates (Ch. 0217 pending-seventh-member recruitment-request), Straw Hat Recruitment Pattern (Ch. 0217 self-recruitment-under-villain-frame evidence add), Miss All Sunday Reads Strawhats As Future Allies Tell (Ch. 0217 overt-payoff evidence add).

Alabasta — underground poneglyph chamber (Ch. 203) — Crocodile-ish — reads the Alabasta poneglyph on-page (first poneglyph reading in the series); tells Crocodile it holds no Pluton data; four-year deal disclosed and ended; betrayed, water-counters Crocodile, then is impaled by his hook and entombed

LOAD-BEARING — first on-page poneglyph reading in the entire series (Ch. 203 pp. 5-6). Robin deciphers the cube-shaped Alabasta poneglyph and recites it as Alabastan dynastic history — Bitein dynasty taking the throne in year 260, Kahira conquered by Alabasta in 239, the Great Taph Temple at Erumalu completed in 306, the great hero Mamudin of Oltea (year 325). Establishes the poneglyph-reading mechanic and Robin’s unique literacy long before the Ohara/Skypiea/Fishman-Island reveals. Cross-link Void Century and Ancient Kingdom, True History Ohara Was Killed For, Robin Reads Alabasta Poneglyph First On-Page Poneglyph Reading (new — load-bearing).
Tells Crocodile the poneglyph holds no Pluton information (Ch. 203 pp. 6-7). Robin: “This is just a history of the kingdom. …It’s not recorded here.” / “There’s no mention at all of the Pluton.” First on-page Robin-controls-what-the-recorded-history-says beat. Forward-canon: Robin lies — she will be revealed to have read the Pluton-blueprint poneglyph and concealed its true content, foreshadowing her role as gatekeeper of suppressed Ancient-Weapon knowledge. Cross-link Robin Withholds Pluton Conceals What The Poneglyph Says (new — load-bearing).
The four-year Crocodile–Robin contract disclosed (Ch. 203 pp. 7-8). “You were the one who came to me… saying, if I brought you to the poneglyph, you in turn would give me information about the Pluton. The deal we made four years ago has come to an end.” First on-page disclosure of the partnership’s terms and duration — Robin sought the poneglyph; Crocodile was the sponsor. Pre-loads Robin’s backstory of selling poneglyph-reading services to powerful patrons while hunting the means to read the True History, and her pattern of being discarded. Cross-link Crocodile Robin Four-Year Poneglyph-For-Pluton Deal Disclosed (new).
Water-counters Crocodile and stabs him — then is impaled by his hook (Ch. 203 pp. 9-11). Robin splashes water on Crocodile to break his sand-body and knifes him (“If water is splashed on you, then this knife can cut you!”) — second character to use the anti-Logia water counter Luffy articulated in Ch. 0199. Crocodile dissolves, reappears, and runs her through with his hook (“I forgive you, Nico Robin… for everything.”). First on-page Robin-vs-Crocodile direct combat and first on-page Robin-grievously-wounded beat. Left for dead in the collapsing chamber. Cross-link Crocodile Betrays And Impales Robin Hook-Through Deal-End (new — load-bearing), Crocodile (betrayer), Suna Suna no Mi (water-weakness ledger), Crocodile I’ve Deserted Dozens Of Fools Like You Henchman-Disposal Doctrine (Ch. 0203 payoff — the disposal doctrine lands on Robin).

Alabasta — Royal Mausoleum poneglyph chamber (Ch. 202) — reads the Alabasta poneglyph; her literacy named as the basis of the Crocodile alliance and the reason he can’t kill her

LOAD-BEARING — Robin’s poneglyph-literacy is named on-page as the operational basis of the Crocodile partnership (Ch. 202 p. 6). Cobra (stunned): “You can read the poneglyph?!” Robin: “Yes. That’s why Crocodile teamed up with me.” / “That’s why he can’t kill me…” First on-page statement tying Robin’s value-to-Crocodile directly to her ability to read the writings — the entire Pluton-hunt runs through her. Pre-loads the forward-canon Ohara-archaeologist / last-living-poneglyph-reader reveal. Cross-link True History Ohara Was Killed For, Void Century and Ancient Kingdom (new evidence), Ancient Weapons (new evidence).
First on-page Robin-actually-reads-a-poneglyph beat (Ch. 202 p. 18). In the domed mausoleum chamber she places her hand on the stone cube and reads it; Crocodile: “Did you find what you wanted?” — confirming the poneglyph holds the intel both came for. The first time in the series the reader sees Robin’s defining skill in action. Cross-link Crocodile, Nefertari Cobra, Ancient Weapons.
Comforts/needles Cobra over the unreadability gap (Ch. 202 p. 7) — “There’s no way you could’ve known there was someone who could read the writings.” / “Don’t blame yourself.” — Robin frames Cobra’s failure as structural (no one was supposed to be able to read it), a quiet ambiguous register between mockery and genuine consolation. Continues the Ch. 0175 evil man / Ch. 0177 mystery even to me compartmented-conscience track.
Cross-link Crocodile (partner she reads for), Nefertari Cobra (poneglyph-guardian she out-reads), Hana Hana no Mi (not used this chapter; pure archaeology beat), True History Ohara Was Killed For.

Alabasta — Alubarna (Ch. 201) — Nico Robin — the title-chapter; bounty itemized at the poster tier; asks Crocodile to take her to the Poneglyph; Treinta Fleurs subdues the Royal Guard column; invokes the 4
palace-square explosion to clear a path

LOAD-BEARING — chapter title is her real name Nico Robin — first chapter named for her; the codename Miss All Sunday is now publicly burned to her wanted-name at the Marine ground-tier.
LOAD-BEARING — bounty itemized at the wanted-poster tier (Ch. 201 p. 15). The soldiers / Tashigi recognize her: “That woman…!! She’s Nico Robin!” / “They offered a whopping 79 million berries for her capture!” / “She was accused of sinking six Marine vessels when she was only eight years old!” / “The government declared her a top-level public menace” / “She disappeared and no one’s seen her since!” — the WANTED — NICO ROBIN — 79,000,000 poster is shown.

Asks Crocodile to take her to the Poneglyph (Ch. 201 pp. 5-6). Robin: “Now you’re going to take me… to the Ponegliff.” / “Just take me there. Don’t ask stupid questions.” / “There’s no more time.” First on-page Robin-states-her-own-poneglyph-objective beat — confirms she (not Crocodile) is the poneglyph-reader; the warlord needs her to extract the Pluton location.

palace-square explosion — civilian-save register (Ch. 201 pp. 13-16). Robin clears the Royal Guard claiming she must prevent a huge explosion at 4
in the palace square that endangers a million citizens (seven minutes away): “There’s going to be a huge explosion at 4

Alabasta — Alubarna palace (Ch. 198) — narrates Vivi’s failed gambit over the collapsed Cobra

Confirms the dust storm is Vivi’s and that it failed to reach the armies (p. 10). Robin (Miss All Sunday), over the collapsed Nefertari Cobra: “You fought well, little girl… but they can’t hear you now.” — first on-page Robin-narrates-Vivi’s-stop-the-fighting-gambit beat; the cool-assessor register (sympathetic-but-detached) pre-loads her eventual defection.
Cross-link Vivi, Crocodile, Dance Powder, Alubarna.

Alabasta — Supersonic Duck Quiz (Ch. 181) — Officer-Agent intel-briefer at Alubarna’s West Gate ambush; operational double-dealing one chapter after saving Luffy

Briefs Mr. 1 on the Mr. Prince intel (pp. 7-8). Robin (afro, in profile, on-page in the BW Officer-Agent ambush at Alubarna’s West Gate): “THERE’S A GUY NAMED MR. PRINCE WITH THEM NOW, AND HIS PARTNER. FOUR AND TWO MAKE SIX. DIDN’T YOU HEAR WHAT THE BOSS SAID?” First on-page Robin-as-Officer-Agent-intel-source after she just saved Luffy in Ch. 180 and asked him the load-bearing D-clan question.
Operational double-dealing register intensifies. Robin briefs the BW ambush accurately (Mr. Prince exists; Sanji is now in the operational composition) while having personally kept the protagonist alive in the desert one chapter ago. Possible alternate read: she’s deliberately compromising the BW ambush by adding too much intel (the six count confuses the ambush composition rather than helping it). Pre-loads the forward-canon Robin-was-secretly-aiding-the-Strawhats-the-whole-time arc-climax revelation.

Alabasta — Yuba dunes (Ch. 180) — Alabasta Animal Land — saves Luffy from near-death; asks him why do you fight as one of those whose name is “D.”?; first on-page outsider-naming of the D-clan as a categorical lineage

LOAD-BEARING — first on-page Robin-asks-Luffy-about-D-lineage beat (Ch. 180 p. 5). Miss All Sunday (standing over a dying Luffy in the Yuba dunes): “Why…do you fight? …As one of those…whose name is ‘D.’? …Just who…are you people?!” Luffy: “‘D’?” (confused). First on-page utterance of those whose name is D. as a categorical group/lineage in the entire series by a non-Marine non-Kureha character. Robin recognizes Luffy as a D. on sight — she knows the lineage exists, the lineage has a fight-doctrine, and the lineage is identifiable. This is the first textual evidence that Robin has prior knowledge of the D-clan — pre-loads her forward-canon Ohara-archaeologist backstory + Saul the will of D will live on reveal (Ch. 391). The Vice-President-of-Baroque-Works asks the question her boss never does; Robin’s interest in the D-clan is independent of Crocodile’s interest in Pluton.

LOAD-BEARING — saves Luffy’s life with an Accelegator mount (Ch. 180 pp. 3-7). Finds Luffy at near-death in the Yuba dunes; long-shadows in (WOOF); drops his straw hat onto his face (PLOP…); provides a saddled Accelegator + bento food-package; revives him with the smell of meat. First on-page Robin-aids-Luffy at the captain-life-saving tier — the I-help-the-protagonist-crew-at-first-meeting register (Ch. 114 Eternal Pose gift; Ch. 168-169 trap-spring-but-doesn’t-finish) now operationally extends to I-keep-the-captain-alive-at-rock-bottom. First on-page operationally-treasonous Robin beat against Crocodile — the BW Vice-President is personally keeping the kingdom-conqueror’s prime obstacle alive.

Dispatch-intel: Vivi alive en route to Alubarna (Ch. 180 p. 7). Robin: “Yes, your princess is alive. She’s on her way to Alubarna even as we speak. I don’t know what’ll happen to her now, though…considering the situation.” / “He is, after all, the swashbuckling pirate…who brought your precious princess home.” Robin gives Luffy operational intel and rallying-language (the swashbuckling pirate / he brought the princess home register is encouragement, not interrogation).
Hat-handoff register (Ch. 180 p. 5). Robin drops Luffy’s straw hat in front of him with “I guess it’s a waste of time to ask.” / “FOUND YOU!” — the hat-return composition is structurally identical to Shanks → Luffy / Luffy → Coby hat-handoff register. The Strawhat-recruitment-via-hat-handoff signature is here played in reverse — Robin returns the captain’s symbol to him at his lowest point. Pre-loads the forward-canon Robin-as-hat-keeper composition (Marineford-arc).
The Vice-President asks a question the Vice-President shouldn’t ask — Robin’s why do you fight as a D. is an ideology-question, not a Baroque-Works-mission-related question. The interrogation-register is personal, not operational. First on-page Robin-pursues-her-own-research-agenda-while-on-boss-mission beat — the Crocodile-uses-Robin-for-Pluton vs. Robin-uses-Crocodile-for-Pluton dual-loyalty structure is here pre-loaded at the textual surface.

Alabasta — Rainbase plaza (Ch. 177) — departs Crocodile’s side during the Luffy-vs-Crocodile duel; insists on operational-name compartment-code (don’t call me by that name); first on-page Robin-independent-movement-toward-Alubarna; that woman is a mystery, even to me Crocodile-diagnosis

LOAD-BEARING — first on-page Robin-disengages-from-Crocodile beat (Ch. 177 p. 10). Crocodile: ”…So be it. If that’s your wish…” / Robin (turning, parasol-up, WOO): silent. Crocodile: “You want to die too, Nico Robin?” / Robin: “But you promised not to call me by that name.” / Crocodile: “Where are you going?” / Robin: “On to Alubarna.” / Robin (walking away, SHUNK!): silent. First on-page Robin-independent-movement-toward-Alabasta-capital beat. She leaves Crocodile’s protection during the boss’s primary engagement to position herself in Alubarna for the operation’s final phase. Pre-loads forward-canon — she’s hunting the Pluton poneglyph in the Alubarna royal tomb (the Ch. 0165 Crocodile-motive I want military might / weapon-system re-keys here as Robin-is-the-poneglyph-reader-Crocodile-employs-for-this-search). Cross-link Robin On To Alubarna Departure From Crocodile Side (new — load-bearing).
LOAD-BEARING — don’t call me by that name compartment-code (Ch. 177 p. 10) — “But you promised not to call me by that name.” First on-page Robin-insists-on-operational-name compartment-code. Even within the Crocodile-Robin partnership, she insists on Miss All Sunday as her operational identity. Pre-loads forward-canon: Nico Robin is a bounty-name attached to a child-of-Ohara — speaking it activates a 79M berry bounty-trail her partnership-deal with Crocodile is meant to suppress. The compartment-code reveals Robin operates under a name-identity-compartment doctrine that pre-dates and outlasts her Baroque Works tenure (forward-canon — she takes the Nico Robin name back only after she defects to the Strawhats at Alabasta-arc-end). Cross-link Robin Don’t Call Me By That Name Compartment-Code (new — load-bearing).
Crocodile diagnoses Robin as a mystery, even to me (Ch. 177 p. 10) — “That woman’s a mystery, even to me.” First on-page boss-doesn’t-fully-read-his-VP doctrine. Confirms the Ch. 0114 only one who knows the boss’s face doctrine is bilateral — Robin has compartmented her motivations from Crocodile too. Pre-loads Robin’s eventual defection arc — the boss already reads her as unreadable. Cross-link Robin That Woman Is A Mystery Even To Me Crocodile-On-Robin Doctrine (new — load-bearing).
Articulates the Vivi-diagnosis (proxied via Crocodile’s monologue) (Ch. 177 pp. 7-9). Robin is in the background of Crocodile’s Vivi’s strength is in her heart monologue, walking away with her parasol. First on-page Robin-stays-silent-while-the-boss-monologues beat. Compositional tell: Robin’s body-language during the boss’s politico-philosophical aria is departure, not agreement. Visual-mirror for the eventual defection.
Crocodile addresses her as Nico Robin on-page for the first time (Ch. 177 p. 10) — “You want to die too, Nico Robin?” The Crocodile-Robin partnership-deal had hidden the civilian-name from Crocodile’s spoken-register until now (Ch. 0114 / Ch. 0166-0170 he addresses her as Miss All Sunday / Ms. All Sunday). The name-utterance reveals: Crocodile has known her civilian-name throughout — he’s broken the don’t-say-it pact deliberately, possibly because Luffy is in earshot.
Observed by Crocodile to be heading to Alubarna independently (Ch. 177 p. 6) — Robin laughs sotto: “Hee hee hee!! Looks like Princess Vivi got away.” Then Crocodile orders the Operation-Utopia field-pivot to Alubarna. Robin’s destination matches Crocodile’s order — but she’s moving on her own initiative, not under orders. First on-page Robin-pre-empts-the-boss-by-acting-on-her-own-initiative beat.
Robin in chapter-cover-style composition — the silent figure walking away from the boss — sets up the iconographic-template Robin returns to across later arcs (Enies Lobby exit, Alabasta-arc-end defection, Whole Cake exit).

Alabasta — Rain Dinners (Mr. Prince operation) (Ch. 175) — 70M+ bounty revealed via Smoker exposition; evil man affect-line at Crocodile; corridor-walks with Crocodile; co-leaves the Crap-Gator note

LOAD-BEARING — 70M+ berry bounty revealed on-page (Ch. 175 p. 10). Smoker (in the cage, exposition to Luffy/Usopp): “That woman with Crocodile — the World Government has had a bounty on her head for 20 years. … A bounty of over 70 million berries!!” / Sanji: “Same as Crocodile’s.” / Smoker: “From the moment those two joined forces, there’s been more at stake than just the fate of this country. If they’re not stopped, the whole world could be in trouble.” First on-page citation of Robin’s bounty (70M, twenty years standing, World-Government-issued). Robin’s current on-page age (~28) means the bounty was issued when she was ~8 — extraordinary signal of something cataclysmic happened ~20 years ago. Smoker frames the Crocodile-Robin alliance as beyond-Alabasta-tier threat.

Evil man affect-line (Ch. 175 p. 18). At Crocodile holding up the real key in the corridor: “Evil man.” — quiet, alone-with-him register, no operational audience. First on-page Robin micro-line that names Crocodile as evil. Continues the Ch. 0166 what are you doing to him concern-register (the Mr. 3 Suna-mummification beat). Pre-loads her forward-canon Strawhat-defection — Robin already privately classifies Crocodile as evil, even as she operates as his VP. The line is also a quiet refusal-to-celebrate the Crocodile victory at the cage-trap moment. Cross-link Crocodile Evil-Man Self-Title Robin-Confirmation Villain-Articulation (new — load-bearing).
Co-walks the corridor with Crocodile (Ch. 175 p. 18) — purple low-cut top, cowboy hat, KLAK KLAK. Operational silence while Crocodile monologues about the real key. Robin’s role: silent witness to Crocodile’s manipulation-articulation.
Likely-author of the See you later, Crap-Gator, Mr. Prince note (Ch. 175 p. 19). The handwriting tell + Robin’s later forward-canon archivist-writer role + the Crap- prefix register (which she has had time to learn from observing Sanji) all point to Robin. The note is a comedic-calling-card taunt left at the sealed cage. First on-page Robin-writes-something-comedic beat (her register has been all-business until now).

Alabasta — Rain Dinners (Ch. 174) — first cover splash; first questions-the-boss; all according to plan* defection-pre-tell*

First on-page Robin-centered cover splash (Ch. 174 p. 1) — reclines in hot-spring bath surrounded by snow monkeys / yeti tending to her with sake. NOT a Django serial entry. The composition pre-figures the Robin-as-Ohara-archaeologist quietly cared-for-by-strange-companions register that becomes load-bearing across forward-canon.
First on-page Robin-questions-the-boss-publicly frame (Ch. 174 p. 18). On the Rainbase bridge as Crocodile readies the sand-attack: “Why not forget him?”. Crocodile: “SI-LENCE!” — the only Officer Agent who challenges the boss face-on. Pre-loads forward-canon Robin-defection.
LOAD-BEARING — first on-page Robin-coordinates-with-Strawhats tone-frame (Ch. 174 p. 19). In the Rain Dinners dining hall, Snail-o-phone headset on, says “All according to plan.” to Sanji. Coordinated-team-grammar with the Strawhat-cook against her own boss. This is the chapter’s reveal-beat: Robin has been working with the Strawhats inside Rain Dinners while presenting to Crocodile as Baroque Works VP. The Ch. 0114 invisible-hand-against-Strawhats / Ch. 0170 six-fleurs-defeats-Pell opposition-frame is here functionally inverted. Pre-loads forward-canon Robin-defects-to-Strawhats reveal.

Alabasta — exits with Crocodile, sphinx-silhouette beat (Ch. 173)

Departs Rain Dinners alongside Crocodile (p. 6): “Well, then…” — operational right-hand role; she is the one who exits with him without intervening in the death-trap. Her hat-shadowed silhouette / wavy-hair-back-shot panel (p. 12) is the chapter’s first Robin-in-villain-departure-frame composition. (Pre-loads her late-arc moral-defection arc.)

Alabasta — Rebellion (Ch. 172) — sadist-game-master cage-key drop; the choice is yours Vivi mind-game

Wax-key cage-choice mind-game with Sanji (Ch. 172 p. 19, chapter cliffhanger). Robin holds the cage-key out over the cage (SHRUFF!! LINH…): ”…Ms. Wednesday. The choice is yours…” Sanji: “A KEY!! IS THAT THE KEY TO THIS CAGE?! HAND IT OVER, YOU JERK!!” — Robin drops the key through the cage-floor trapdoor (KL UNK! / WHOOSH! / AH!! / A TRAPDOOR!! / WHAT?!) — the key falls down into the underground pit (WOOOOO). First on-page Robin-as-sadist-game-master beat — she gives the Strawhats a key but makes it impossible to reach as a moral test for Vivi.
Hat-shadowed silhouette at Crocodile’s side throughout the chapter (Ch. 172 pp. 3, 5, 15-19). Vice-Presidential register — passive observer, occasional comment-line (“What did you see… you naughty boy?” p. 5; “What are you trying to do, Ms. Wednesday?” p. 17).

It gives me the power to make any part of my body blossom. Impressive, no?” First on-page utterance of the fruit-name by the user herself. Pays off the Ch. 0114 invisible-action-without-visible-cause demo. First on-page visualization of the fruit’s flower-blooming-on-any-surface mechanic — full arms erupt from her shoulders, from Pell’s wing-feathers, and around his spine.

The Spanish-numeral Fleurs naming-grammar (tres/seis/cien/mil/dos mil…) is the load-bearing template for Robin’s entire forward-canon technique-set: Cien Fleurs, Mil Fleurs, Veinte Fleurs, Dos Fleurs, Dos Mano, Cien Mano, Gigantesco Mano.

I can make my limbs sprout anywhere.”); spine-submission-hold Seis Fleurs / Clutch!!! (p. 9-10) snaps him unconscious. Robin narrates: “So much for Alabasta’s greatest warrior.” (p. 11).

The tribute-tease is Robin’s psychological misdirection — exploits Vivi’s Ch. 0114 belief Igaram died in the decoy-explosion to set up a false-grief register that Robin can taunt over. First on-page Robin-as-active-psychological-attacker beat against Vivi.
Acknowledges Vivi’s combat-pedigree against Baroque Works (Ch. 170 p. 3) — “Don’t be silly.

First face-on Robin operating as trap-spring lieutenant (Ch. 169 p. 5). Robin (Ms. All Sunday, calm half-smile, fur-collared coat — same wardrobe as Ch. 0114) addresses the casino manager face-on: “CROCODILE’S ORDERS. ESCORT THEM TO THE V.I.P. ROOM.” The manager is shocked (“HUH?”) — Robin’s authority as Crocodile’s VP is operationally exercised inside Rain Dinners. Confirms Rain Dinners is the Baroque-Works HQ where she resides at the boss’s side.
Springs the V.I.P. cage-trap on both Strawhats and Smoker (Ch. 169 pp. 6-7). Robin oversees the doormen escorting both groups along the V.I.P. PIRATES → ← directional-sign lure; the floor gives way and the Sea-Stone cage drops on the combined group. First on-page Robin operating as Crocodile’s trap-spring lieutenant — her VP role is not just intelligence-and-information but execution-architect of physical trap-set-pieces. Pre-loads the Sky-Island / CP9 / Enies-Lobby Robin-was-running-Aokiji’s-trap reveals; she has a long history of executing trap-architectures for criminal-tier bosses.
Dispatched by Crocodile to fetch the guest of honor (Vivi) (Ch. 169 p. 13 — referenced by Crocodile; Robin off-frame at that moment). Crocodile: “I’ve sent my partner to fetch her.” — confirms Robin is the operative pursuing Vivi in Rainbase.
Arrives at the Pell-strafes-the-BW-pursuers scene (Ch. 169 p. 19). The scarred-fanged pursuer (Mr. 1 forward-canon) looks up at her arrival: ”…PRESIDENT!! VICE…!! MS. ALL SUNDAY!!” / “HER?” Robin (sun-behind-her silhouette, hand-on-hat pose): “GOOD. THIS MAKES THINGS EASIER.” — her presence is greeted as the recovery-the-situation arrival.

Receives Crocodile’s greet the fools order: “Go greet those fools!!” / Miss All Sunday: “Yes, sir.” (p. 19). The order-relay channel established Ch. 0127 (“Dispatch Mr. 2 to Little Garden. Ms. All Sunday.”) and continued Ch. 0166 (“Use the Transponder Snail. Contact the Billions in Nanohana!!”) continues — Robin is the boss’s executive arm. The Ch. 168 order targets the Strawhats specifically.
First on-page witness to Crocodile’s partial visual close-up reveal — she is the only on-page character standing with Crocodile as the reader gets the stitched-mouth-scar close-up (p. 19).

People come here to get rich quick at the gaming tables. …You’re in Rain Dinners right now.’, pp. 8-9).
Introduces Crocodile to the officer corps as the boss (Ch. 165 p. 10): ‘But first, allow me to introduce… someone whose face you’ve never seen — the President of Baroque Works!! But that’s no longer necessary. Until now, I’ve acted as his face and mouthpiece.’ Robin operationally retires her face-and-mouthpiece role and hands the operation over to Crocodile’s direct command.
Frames Crocodile’s dual-identity at the officer-reveal moment (Ch. 165 p. 12): ‘I see you recognize him… or his public face, at least.’ — keys the Warlord-as-public-cover / Baroque-boss-as-private-identity dual-identity at the officer-tier. Robin alone holds the full register.
Asks the why question that sets up Crocodile’s motive-reveal (Ch. 165 p. 13): ‘Why would one of the pirate allies of the World Government create an organization like this?’ — Robin is the on-page interlocutor whose question prompts Crocodile to articulate his military might motive.

Thriller Bark (Ch. 452)

Leads her group (Franky, Usopp, Chopper, Brook) through the coliseum hall, advising they push to the courtyard rather than fight every general (“It’s going to take too much energy to fight all of them”).

Lays out the strategy: two paths (one to Nami, one to the skeleton), then defeat Moria; warns sunrise is the final deadline because they are only safe in the night/fog (pp. 5-6).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 461)

Uses her Hana Hana no Mi to block Cindry’s flying dishes (“Thanks, Robin!”), shielding the group, then continues on with Luffy toward Moria’s dance hall (pp. 4-5).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 463) — referenced

Referenced: Absalom is confirmed to be the invisible “beast” who licked Robin on the Thousand Sunny — one of the offenses that enrages Sanji (p. 17).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 468) — out-maneuvers Hogback’s zombies with their own order

Stands with Chopper and Nami against Hogback; sized up the zombie woman early (“I’ll have to keep my eyes on you, woman,” p. 2).
When her salt fails on Cindry, Robin weaponizes Hogback’s blanket order (“destroy all who get in your way”) with Doce Fleurs, turning the penguin Inuppe (Sanji’s shadow) and samurai Jigoro of the Wind (Zoro’s shadow) against each other, then ordering them off the tower’s edge (pp. 15-18). Her cool read: even without their old memories, “those two just can’t get along!!” — see Thriller Bark Zombies Carry Their Owners Shadow Abilities And Personality.

Thriller Bark (Ch. 469)

Fights Hogback and Cindry alongside Chopper: restrains Cindry with Doce Fleurs and teams for the Robi-cho Suplex (sprouting legs via Pierna Fleurs so Chopper can suplex Hogback) (pp. 3, 5). Deduces the zombie’s disobedience: “It’s as if the original owner of the body is resisting” — “that’s probably not something you could ever really know, no matter how many books you study” (p. 3). Later directs Chopper away from the collapsing floor as Oars rampages. (last_appearance advances 0468→0469.)

Thriller Bark (Ch. 470)

As the crew’s archaeologist, recognizes Oars on sight: the “Beast” Oars, the Continent Puller of ~500 years ago — and reads the situation (“they don’t care about any of our shadows except Luffy’s”) (pp. 4, 6).
Catches the falling Zoro with Cien Fleurs: Spider Net (pp. 15-16). (last_appearance advances 0469→0470.)

Thriller Bark (Ch. 471)

Among the recovered Straw Hats regrouping in the rubble around the injured Oars (pp. 18-19). SHOWN.

Thriller Bark (Ch. 472)

Refuses to participate in Franky’s “Pirates Docking Six / Giant Robot Warrior Big Emperor” combination gag — “I find it embarrassing… as a human being” — leaving the formation incomplete; she privately resolves to “just forget about it” and to go save Nami (pp. 6–8). In the real fight she uses Cien Fleurs: Big Tree to trip Oars (p. 12). A defining deadpan-Robin character beat. See Hana Hana no Mi.

Thriller Bark — the trust-Luffy strategy (Ch. 474)

Helps the crew settle the plan: even if they can’t save themselves, make sure Luffy’s shadow is safe and trust him for the rest (pp. 7-8); concedes Sanji “may have a point” about Luffy’s susceptibility to trickery.

Thriller Bark (Ch. 475)

Uses her power to redirect/save Nami from Oars’s cross-battlefield Gum-Gum Pistol stretch (“Robin saved her!!!”) (pp. 16-17).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 476) — ends the Shadow Revolution

Clamps Oars with “Ochenta Fleurs, Cuatro Mano” (a forest of grabbing hands) so he “can’t stretch out anymore,” halting Moria’s Shadow Revolution — “Your Shadow Revolution… is over” (pp. 18-19).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 477) — gambles a direct strike at Moria; shadow stolen; knocked out

Restrains Oars with Hana Hana no Mi arms; reasons that the shadows are only “remote-control” extensions of their living user, so she must take out Moria directly — “As long as I can take out the user, the shadows should disappear!” (pp. 2, 5).
Techniques used: Veinte Fleurs, Calendula (twenty-arm pinwheel vs. Moria’s Brick Bat, p. 3) and Cuatro Mano … Clutch on Moria (p. 6).
Fooled by the Doppelman swap: her Clutch catches only the shadow double; Moria takes her shadow (his third) and knocks her unconscious (pp. 7-9). Sanji and Zoro carry her clear (p. 13). See Kage-Kage no Mi.

Thriller Bark (Ch. 478)

Shown knocked out among the downed crew during Oars’s rampage (p. 2).

Thriller Bark (Ch. 480)

New named technique “Pierna Fleurs”: sprouts a staircase of legs to build a foothold and launch Luffy up to Oars (p. 10).
Tells Luffy to land the finishing blow himself because Oars carries his own stolen shadow (p. 17).

Thriller Bark — Kuma ambush (Ch. 484)

Analyzes Kuma’s ability: “Maybe he’s deflecting the atmosphere” (p. 11) — the in-story explanation of the Paw-Paw Fruit’s air-repulsion.

Thriller Bark — aftermath (Ch. 486)

Overhears the truth of Zoro’s sacrifice (“Actually, I saw it too,” p. 13) and silently joins the secret — “Everyone’s fine. That’s all that counts. Don’t ask us silly questions” / “Tee hee!” (pp. 10-11). See Zoro’s Hidden Sacrifice And The Nothing-Happened Silence.
Recognizes “Binks’s Brew” when Brook plays it — “I thought it sounded familiar. How nostalgic…” (p. 14). See Binks’s Sake.

Thriller Bark (Ch. 489) — wry on the new recruit

Reacts to Brook’s instant induction: “Why do we always attract that type? … Things will be even livelier now” (p. 9). NB: Robin is confirmed present in current_roster on Straw Hat Pirates (the long-flagged omission is backfilled this chapter).

Post-War — Tequila Wolf (Ch. 593)

Stranded on the East-Blue slave bridge, Robin is approached by Revolutionary Army soldiers who hail her as “the only survivor of Ohara” and “the light of the Revolution,” reveal their boss is Dragon — Luffy’s father — and offer to guard her and take her to him (pp. 2–3).
She declines protection: “I don’t need your protection… There’s somewhere I have to go… I have my own friends” (the Straw Hats) (p. 3).
Given the newspaper about Luffy, she reads it and smiles — “Yes,” there is “something funny written on it” (p. 5).

Fish-Man Island (Ch. 605)

New post-timeskip technique: sprouts a pair of giant arms — “Mil Fleurs! Gigantesco Mano!” — to catch and deflect a Kraken tentacle and shield the Sunny (p. 11). First on-page giant-limb bloom — see Hana Hana no Mi.
Voices the run-away strategy (“I told him to run away from the very beginning!”, p. 8); stays aboard the Sunny when the crew splits.

Punk Hazard (Ch. 695)

Present with the alliance during the Caesar-retrieval fight (pp. 10–12).

Dressrosa — at the Riku Army HQ (Ch. 731)

Present at the Flower-Field HQ as Operation S.O.P. is briefed (pp. 5–11); the Revolutionaries separately note “Sounds like Robin’s here in this country.”

Dressrosa — at Kyros’s house (Ch. 796)

Among the gathered Straw Hats as Kyros explains the rumor; presses him “Why?” on his choice to hide his fatherhood (p. 12).

Zou arc (Ch. 803)

Confirms the other Straw Hat group reached Zou safely (“at least we know they made it to Zou without a doubt… seems like they got away from Big Mom safely”) (p. 2); charmed by the climbing creature, “It’s so cute” (pp. 5, 12).

Zou (Ch. 804)

Among the climbers; reacts to Kin’emon/Kanjuro falling past (“Damn! What was that thing that just fell past us?!”, p. 4) and reads the country as “dangerously undermanned.”

Zou (Ch. 805)

With Law’s group at the start; later investigates Kurau City — reads the scale of the catastrophe: a city for “hundreds of thousands,” emptied “without a trace,” with claw-marks and giant footprints, collapsed “a week or two ago” (pp. 6, 15–16).

Wano Country — Onigashima Raid (Ch. 989)

Takes battlefield orders (“Help me out, Nico Robin”) and coordinates the throw on Big Mom with Mil Fleurs: Delphinium (pp. 9-10) — “Wa ha ha! Better than I imagined!!”

Wano Country — Onigashima raid (Ch. 996)

Learns Law bears the “D.” — “Luffy may not care, but I find the D name to be fascinating… You have the name of D as well? I’m stunned” (p. 12); the two align on following the red Road Poneglyphs / beating the Four Emperors.

Wano (epilogue) (Ch. 1058)

New bounty 930,000,000, captioned “Archaeologist: Demon Child Nico Robin” — delighted with her poster photo. (p.5)

Egghead arrival (Ch. 1062)

Referenced by Vegapunk’s satellites as “the demon child behind him, Nico Robin” while they assess the crew’s threat (p. 6). Among the half-crew dragged from the sea at Egghead.

Egghead — links the iron giant’s attack to history (Ch. 1067)

Connects the iron giant’s Mariejois attack to “two hundred years ago… the year… when fish-man discrimination became a big issue” (p.10) — tying it to the Void Century. Sanji vows to protect her from Rob Lucci (p.13). See Iron Giant Emet, Void Century and Ancient Kingdom.

Egghead — marked by the Gorosei (Ch. 1113) — shown

The Five Elders single her out: “The man is soft… the woman Akainu let slip between his fingers… Nico Robin.” She recognizes their voices over the broadcast — “That voice… The Five Elders?!” — and answers Vegapunk’s hypothesis “I see.” (p. 15).
The crew rally to shield her — Nami: “Protect Robin!!”; allies: “We’ll do whatever it takes!!” (pp. 15-16).

Elbaf (Ch. 1132)

Marvels at Elbaf and the rideable rainbow — “There are so many things still to learn about the world” (p.7), keeping her scholar-of-the-world drive forward.

Elbaf — the Owl Library; “I found the true friends” (Ch. 1134)

Reunion continues: “I found the true friends, Saul!! Just as you said… I did.” Saul personally shows her the Owl Library, which holds all the texts Ohara protected 22 years ago. Robin weeps before the world’s greatest library — her life-quest archive now in reach. (pp. 4, 14–15)
See Owl Library, Saul, True History Ohara Was Killed For.

Notes

The I-help-the-protagonist-crew-at-first-meeting register is Oda’s pre-recruit-encounter pattern — Miss All Sunday is the future Strawhat archaeologist.
Identifier-stack: black cowboy hat, long black hair, exposed midriff, soft-laugh, large-animal-mount transit. The wardrobe carries the Sunday-as-the-day-of-the-sun etymology (cf. her future hat-as-sun-motif Skypiea-arc, Dawn-Island palace beats).
The Hee hee hee… signature-laugh is established at first appearance — recurs as Robin’s signature.
Real-name reveal: forward-canon at Ch. 218+ (Nico Robin). Until then she is only ever addressed as Ms. All Sunday or Miss All Sunday on-page.
