ZOROBIN: ALABASTA ARC - 7° AND LAST PART
The first article is here. The previous article is here.

ROBIN, KUINA AND TASHIGI

Kuina was the girl who had been trained in the same dojo as Zoro; she was also the master's daughter. Kuina's skills were superior to Zoro's, at least at that time: we know that Kuina has won against Zoro 2,001 times (congratulations! O_o).

Kuina: "My two thousandth victory!"

Now, we know that Navy Commander Tashigi has a great resemblance to Kuina. In chapter 201, entitled "Nico Robin", Robin defeats Tashigi, the "false Kuina", with great ease. Well, Robin defeats her in a chapter that has a number similar to 2001, without a zero (which is a number that has a name that resembles that of Zoro), precisely 201, which even has the name of Nico Robin as its title.

Robin: "I told you not to get in my way". A warning to not seduce Zoro?

It is as if Robin had defeated Kuina in the name of Zoro: in fact, chapter 201 is published in volume 22 of One Piece, a number that is linked to Zoro. In fact, in addition to being twice two (Zoro's number), 22 is also equal to 11 * 2, or twice eleven: and 11/11 is Zoro's birthday. If Kuina has always defeated Zoro very easily, Robin defeats Tashigi-Kuina very easily. She is also the second person who directly defeats Tashigi: the first, coincidentally, is Zoro. A very significant Zorobin connection. In addition, it could be recalled that Tashigi is subsequently defeated by Trafalgar Law and by Monet at Punk Hazard arc: well, Law is a call to Zoro, also being a swordsman with a dark reputation like Zoro; Monet, with her culture and attitude, is a reference to Robin (and to Zoro too, given her green hair). Here the Zorobin moments are more hidden, but very significant.
