ROBIN ENTERS THE CREW

Before going further with the analysis, we should return to the first conversation between Robin and Zoro described before, this time in the animated version: in this case, Robin's actions are more explicit. These are considered by fans "non-canonical moments ", because they consider true only the moments of the manga. Personally, I don't agree. Although these scenes do not appear in manga, they remain true to the characters (remember: Oda is the person who gives the exploitation rights of the characters, so he cannot make them behave as animators please). So, we may very well appear of "deepening scenes" like this. Then, they can be freely considered valid or not: I consider them valid.

ROBIN: This is a beautiful ship. They are always so bright in here?
ZORO: Well, yes
ROBIN: (smiles) Oh?

ROBIN: (brings a cloth to Zoro)
ZORO: (grabbing the sword) I told you do not stand too close to me.
ROBIN: You'll catch a cold.
ZORO: People who take cold have a weak heart.

ROBIN: Then they say that about the famous pirate hunter Zoro?
ZORO: I never did call myself "pirate hunter".
ROBIN: So who gave you such a beautiful name?
ZORO: Who knows, it has nothing to do with me.

Robin walks away, without saying anything, and sits at the table where there is a book of research on mysterious lands ("The Rainbow Fog"): in fact, as I said, Robin is an archaeologist and she reads a lot. She sits and then smiles looking sideways towards Zoro.

As you can see , there are special times between Robin and Zoro. But there are other special times in a much more subtle way, which you cannot understand if you are unfamiliar with the story and the characters. For example, here is a scene, this time taken from manga. Remember to read from right to left.

It is not a true "Zorobin" moment , but it is interesting the Nami's nod to the sharks. In fact, the shark is a symbol of Zoro, and telling Robin that she will become food for sharks... it is like saying that in the future (we're still at the beginning of their relationship) she will become the "life" for him. In fact, the food is essential to survival.
