The Hana Hana no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to replicate and sprout pieces of their body from the surface of any object or living thing.[2] As further allusion to this, pinkish-white petal-like particles form at and then swirl away from where the parts sprout and vanish, as well as around the user itself. It was eaten by Nico Robin.

The power of the fruit was first demonstrated but not clearly seen before Luffy and crew when they first met Robin on the Going Merry.[1] The fruit's actual power was fully revealed during Robin and Pell's confrontation.[2]

Etymology Edit

"Hana" 花 , "Hana" ?

The fruit keeps its original Japanese name in the 4Kids dub by calling it the Hana-Hana Fruit .

. It is called the Flower-Flower Fruit in the VIZ Manga and FUNimation dub.

Appearance Edit

The Hana Hana no Mi is a pink flower shaped fruit with a stem sprouting out of the top, with swirls that go in a curly "S" like-pattern on the petals. Its overall appearance greatly resembles a pink dahlia.[3]

Strengths and Weaknesses Edit

“ I don't think you understand yet. Power, speed... they mean nothing to me. ” — Robin explains to Pell about her power as she puts him into submission





Strengths Edit

The fruit's major strength, as demonstrated by Nico Robin, is the ability to sprout multiple body parts on any surface (except Seastone), including the user's own body, without damaging so and then manipulate said body parts remotely, as if they were an extension of the user's own original limbs. Since the user is practically the only one who knows where their limbs will sprout out, they almost always have the element of surprise on their side, which, coupled with the fruit's long range and almost instantaneous speed of limb sprouting, turns Robin into a massive threat during combat situations, enough that enemies may find themselves in a very compromising position if they don't possess an ability that lets them somehow counter or escape from her myriad of summoned limbs.[4][5][6]

As Robin claimed to Pell, speed and strength mean nothing to her as she can render almost any foe into submission with ease,[7] even those with superhuman speed such as Hakuba. Additionally, the fruit's powers are capable of affecting many opponents simultaneously,[1][8] displaying great offensive capabilities through grappling or stomping techniques.[9] For defense, Robin can conjure traps, shields or barriers to capture or repel incoming dangers with a multitude of her limbs.[10] By sprouting eyes or ears in strategic places, the fruit's powers can also be used for gathering intelligence.[11][12][13] The Hana Hana no Mi overall is incredibly versatile and permits multitasking for adventuring, battles or everyday activities.

Before the time skip, Robin was capable of sprouting up to one hundred arms at once.[14] At this apex of power, she could use each hand created to support each other and meld together, thereby allowing her to create larger hands out of many to take on more powerful and larger foes.[15] This aspect also makes Robin much more versatile as it allows her to form more intricate patterns with her sprouting limbs like "Cien Fleur: Wing" and "Big Tree". The only pattern to show any time limit was seen with the "Cien Fleur: Wing" as it required great effort to maintain altitude, resisting gravity and gaining forward momentum.[16]

After the timeskip, Robin's duplication ability has grown to the point of being able to sprout up to one thousand body parts at once, melding them into gigantic limbs.[17]

She has also gained the ability to create a full-body clone of herself. Unlike the rest of her abilities, her clone is also able to generate clothing, though this is an intentional discrepancy common to all Devil Fruits for obvious reasons.[18]

According to Oda, the user has a radius of 200 Hana Hanas in which they can extend parts of their body (although he did say this jokingly).[19]

Weaknesses Edit

The user of the Hana Hana no Mi has unique weaknesses as well. The user will receive damage to their body if the extra limbs are attacked, and can feel the pain on each one of them.[20][21] If the sprouted limbs are affected, then the main body is affected as well, such as when her real body turned into a toy when Sugar touched a sprouted hand.[6] The user cannot create limbs where there is not enough room, and while each part is capable of that part's normal movements, the body part itself is bound to where it was sprouted from. The strength of the user is also still limited to their individual strength, meaning that the individual strength in the replicating appendages is no different to that of Robin's actual corresponding limbs.

[citation needed]

The following events are Non-Canon and therefore not considered part of the Canon story.

This fruit's defensive strategy is to attack from afar and use their superior range to overwhelm the foe. However, when in close range, the user is vulnerable as the fruit lacks serious defensive abilities; in an ambush, the user has few options to block the attack. As seen in One Piece Film: Z, it is implied that a user's ability to manifest extra limbs on a moving target depends on their reaction time and field of vision, and a faster opponent may dodge their attempts if they manage to move out of either one in time. This is demonstrated when Binz managed to outpace Robin and dodge her attacks by moving quickly out of sight.

Other than that, the user is also affected by the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage Edit

Before the Timeskip Edit

The powers of the fruit have been used by Robin for a variety of ways. She has been using them as far back as when she was a child.[22] She most notably uses the powers for combat, however, she has been known to use them for other purposes (such as tickling Luffy and Chopper). When Robin uses her power in battle, she uses a submission and grappling style (and later wrestling) where she replicates her arms at specific locations on her opponent's body and puts them in painful holds to prevent them from moving, or to disarm them by knocking away any weapon or tools that they may have in their possession.

Arms Edit

Robin mostly uses the fruit's powers to replicate her arms in order to do a variety of things. The named techniques that Robin uses for her arms all follow a pattern. First, she says the number of arms she will sprout in Spanish followed by the word "Fleur", which means "Flower" in French. From there, depending on where she sprouted her arms, she can do a number of things. If the thing she will do next is an attack, she will state the name of the attack in English.[23] An example of this pattern is the technique, Treinta Fleur: Strangle, wherein she sprouts thirty arms and then strangles her opponents. In the 4Kids dub, this pattern is different: she will instead state the whole technique in English and replace the "Fleur" with "Floret". In the VIZ manga and FUNimation dub, the names of her techniques are the same as the original Japanese version.

The named techniques that involve her using the Devil Fruit to replicate and sprout her arms are as follows:

Other Body Parts Edit

Aside from her arms, Robin can also replicate other parts of her body. These enable her to do a variety of things from giving her extra insight into other places with her eyes sprouting on certain objects,[11] to transporting fallen comrades with her legs sprouting from out of their bodies.[45]

The other body parts she can replicate usually include parts of her body that enable her to do things that her arms cannot do. These thus include Robin sprouting either eyes or ears to enable her to see or hear things that would otherwise be too inaccessible for her to get any closer.[12][13]

The named techniques that involve her using the Devil Fruit to replicate and sprout other body parts aside from arms are as follows.

Concludes non-canon section.

After the Timeskip Edit

After the two year timeskip Robin has acquired a new level of skill with using her ability, as she has shown to be able to grow one thousand arms at once, along with learning to create a replica of her entire body with clothing, having one appear in between Luffy and Jinbe when they were fighting.

History Edit

Past Edit

At or before 8 years old, Robin ate the Hana Hana no Mi, thus gaining its powers. As a result, she had been ostracized by many citizens of Ohara for being a freak, which is a typical response in regards to a Devil Fruit user.

[citation needed]

Trivia Edit

Similar to the Noro Noro no Mi, Robin tends to make accompanying gestures when using her powers, pointing to the spot from which to sprout appendages as a child and crossing her arms with her palms facing up as an adult. However, she has been seen activating her powers without them and is likely not required to. [60] Robin most likely crosses her arms to help her concentrate, as she feels the strain of each individual arm.

Occasionally, when Robin uses or de-spell her techniques, Chrysanthemum petals are formed in the air.

SBS Trivia Edit

According to Oda, in response to a fan, if the Hana Hana no Mi were eaten by a person with hairy arms, the arms that would be sprouted would also be hairy. [61]

Another SBS question asked if Robin could sprout breasts. Oda simply stated he was sure she could.[62]

In One Piece Color Walk 4 Eagle, there was concept art of Chopper with Robin's face on the back of his head, labeled " Face Fleur " フェイス・フルール , Feisu Furūru ? [63] Oda noted that he planned for Robin to use the move in Skypiea, but due to how creepy it looked, the idea was rejected instantly. [64]

" Oda noted that he planned for Robin to use the move in Skypiea, but due to how creepy it looked, the idea was rejected instantly. One more SBS question asked if a male user of the Hana Hana no Mi could bloom a penis to pee from a distance. Oda confirmed and jestingly called it " Dick Fleur ". [65]

". Oda revealed the flower blossoms that appear when Robin is using her powers are "Fuwa Flowers" フワッフラワー , Fuwaffurawā ? [66] Fuwa is a word used to describe fluffy things.
