In a stunning portrait of Nico Robin, u/mugiwarajen proves that her first appearance in One piece remains one of her best works. Without a doubt, the Water 7 saga is one of the most beloved works in the One Piece series. With the added element of mystery in the Water 7 arc and the epic Buster Call battle in the Enies Lobby arc, countless moments in the saga stand out. However, none of those moments can compare to Luffy's rebellion against the World Government to save Nico Robin as she begged for death.
While Nico Robin has the best fashion sense throughout the series, u/mugiwarajen chose perhaps the most iconic look of all time for her. The Western-style cowboy hat, vest and miniskirt are perfectly matched, with white tassels added to the lining of each outfit.
Furthermore, u/mugiwarajen shows off his costume design skills by adding a gold beaded accent on the chest along with a beautiful corset-style stitching. Finally, the final touches of striking blue contact lenses and the perfect hairstyle make this Robin cosplay one that Oda himself would be proud of.
Nico Robin is still ranked as one of the best characters of One Piece
And /migwarajen brought her to life perfectly.
One of the most iconic moments of the series is when Robin, who had been captured by the World Government for her background and historical knowledge, asked the Straw Hats to leave, believing her to be a burden and a threat to their safety. However, in true Luffy fashion, he asked Usopp to shoot down the World Government's flag, declaring himself an official enemy. After realizing the true friends she had in the Straw Hats, Robin admits her deepest desire, “I want to live.”
This unparalleled moment takes an already fantastic One Piece arc to the next level. However, it still takes Robin quite a while to be comfortable enough to admit her desire to live. Starting out as Miss All-Sunday, Robin previously worked for Crocodile's Baroque Works Agency as their highest ranking member. However, everything changes when she meets the Straw Hats, and u/mugiwarajen has recreated this interesting storyline in the best way possible through her first appearance.
Nico Robin makes One Piece's best storyline even better
u/mugiwarajen's Nico Robin is more than just a cosplay
Starting out as Miss All-Sunday, the Straw Hat Pirates soon realize that there is more to Nico Robin than meets the eye. Ever since Alabasta, Robin has been a mystery to the rest of the crew. However, when Luffy declares war on the World Government to rescue her, she finally reveals her true colors.
“If I could really say my wish just once… I want to live!” – Nico Robin
Nico Robin's heartbreaking cry for help has become one of the most beloved scenes in One Piece history. The World Government has been hunting Robin for her knowledge her entire life, but for the first time, a group of friends are willing to stand up to the power of the Buster Call to protect her. When a cosplay like u/mugiwarajen's appears, fans are immediately reminded of the journey Nico Robin has taken since her time working for Baroque Works.
The Water 7 series, which includes the Water 7 and Enies Lobby arcs, remains the most iconic storyline in One Piece. In Water 7, Oda added an element of mystery to the story, keeping the audience guessing about Robin's true intentions. Additionally, Robin's backstory in Enies Lobby remains one of the most heartbreaking, along with her cries for help. u/mugiwarajen's cosplay perfectly captures why Robin's first look remains her best, especially because of what it represents: her character arc in One piece.
