Chaos in One Piece: Robin and Scopper’s Lives Hang in the Balance!

by

Summary

  • Robin and Scopper face grave danger against the powerful Gods Knights due to their formidable Devil Fruit abilities.
  • Scopper’s legendary pirate status and Robin’s potential power-up may give them a fighting chance in the inevitable clash.
  • Fans anticipate a narrative tension as Robin might unlock Armament Haki to stand a chance against the Gods Knights.

The battle against the Gods Knights has now started according to chapter 1147 of the “One Piece” manga. This wicked band of Celestial Dragons has unveiled their plot not only to Elbaf’s residents but also to everyone on the island. Their objective is to capture the children as hostages, thereby forcing the Giants of Elbaf to pledge allegiance to the World Government during the impending Final War. As a result, the Giants would be combating alongside the Celestial Dragons.

It’s clear that the Straw Hats would oppose this situation, as demonstrated towards the end of the chapter when Robin and Scopper prepared to join the fight against the Gods Knights. This dramatic scene is a significant one for the Elbaf arc in One Piece, but the outcome of this confrontation could potentially be devastating. So, let’s explore how Robin and Scopper might find themselves in peril when facing off against the Gods Knights.

How Robin And Scopper May Be Facing Imminent Danger

The Strength of the Gods Knights

  • While strong, Robin and Scopper don’t have a way to deal with the Gods’ Knight’s broken Devil Fruits.

As the plot unfolds, it appears increasingly likely that Robin and Scopper are heading towards a perilous confrontation with the Gods Knights. Among Sommers, Gunko, and Killingham, these characters possess some of the most formidable Devil Fruit powers ever showcased in the world of One Piece, excelling in offensive, defensive, and overall mighty abilities.

In simpler terms, Sommers possesses a unique ability known as the Thorn-Thorn Fruit, granting him the power to manifest invisible, razor-sharp thorns onto any object he chooses. An example of this was observed when he covered sleeping Elbaf children with these thorns, making it impossible for other Giants to rescue them due to the fact that even a gentle touch could cause the thorns to pierce them severely. Gunko, on the other hand, utilizes the Arrow-Arrow Fruit, which enables her to generate arrows whose trajectory is identical to the path of her attacks, ensuring that every attack she makes will successfully hit its target.

There’s real emotion in killing!

Yet, among these options, Killingham’s Qirin Mythical Zoan Fruit stands out as the most potent. This fruit not only enables him to induce sleep in his targets but also materializes their deepest fears. Although they are not exceptionally powerful, these creations are colossal and capable of causing destruction. Pitting him against Robin and Scopper could lead to them dozing off at the most inconvenient times. If these heroes encounter Killingham simultaneously, they might find themselves at a disadvantage and potentially lose the battle.

Scopper, known as one of history’s mightiest pirates, wouldn’t usually face challenges. But now, his prowess has waned, and the Gods Knights have taken his son, Colon, hostage, potentially using him to control the Mountain Eater. Robin’s real strength lies in her intelligence, as her mind is her most valuable tool. Although she possesses considerable physical power, she hasn’t yet mastered Armament Haki, making it difficult for her in this situation, particularly against Sommers, who appears to be her primary adversary. Given that her Devil Fruit power allows her to grow numerous limbs, she may find herself at a disadvantage when facing the power of the Thorn fruit.

How Robin And Scopper Can Actually Pull This Off

How The Heroes May Win

Robin’s First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 114, “The Course”
Scopper’s First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 19, “Devil Fruit”
  • Scopper’s strength is legendary, and Robin may awaken a new power that may lead to their victory over the Gods Knights.

In a different perspective, some fans of “One Piece” argue that the outcome could actually favor Scopper and Robin in this confrontation. However, considering there’s still a lot of narrative tension building up during the Elbaf arc, it seems extremely unlikely for these two characters to defeat the Gods Knights before the Monster Trio has their chance to join the fight. Despite how thrilling it would be to see Robin and Scopper in such a prominent role, the odds are incredibly slim.

The primary cause for this is that Scopper is renowned and infamous as one of history’s greatest pirates, serving under the Pirate King and regarded as his equal, alongside Rayleigh. This status inherently makes Scopper a proficient user of Haki. While it remains unverified whether he possesses Conqueror’s Haki, it is evident that he is an expert in the advanced techniques of Armament and Observation Haki, as demonstrated by his ability to sense the arrival of the Gods Knight – a feat only he has achieved on Elbaf.

Despite not engaging in full-blown battles with Luffy and Zoro, it was evident that their opponent possessed immense strength, causing them to treat him with immediate respect; Luffy even swiftly transformed into his Nika form. Conversely, Nico Robin’s placement among the Straw Hats on the frontlines of combat appears unconventional. This was underscored in Chapter 1147, as she prepared to face Sommers after he defeated Saul. Despite her current weakness compared to others, this confrontation offers an ideal platform for her power-up.

Many supporters of the series have been eagerly anticipating more attention given to the Straw Hat crew beyond the Monster Trio, particularly in battle scenes. In their impending fight against the Gods Knights, Robin might finally receive the power boost she’s been waiting for, possibly manifesting as Armament Haki – the one ability that could potentially allow her to engage with Calamity Sommers, whose defensive Devil Fruit is otherwise impregnable. Once Robin activates her Armament Hiki, she may have a real fighting chance.
