SIMILARITIES; ROBIN TRUSTS ZORO
(Here the first article on Skypiea Arc; here the previous article.)

ZORO AND ROBIN: SIMILARITIES

Not only do Zoro and Robin have similar reactions to Nami's absurdities, but they each comment on the grabber navigator's thoughts for themselves. (chap252).

Nami: "The deity of Skypiea? But who cares? Does divinity or gold matter more?" Robin: "...But didn't you say: "Thank you very much divinity" a second ago?" Zoro: "When she has gold in her head, she doesn't even care what she says..."

If you notice, Robin and Zoro's faces are exactly the same in this scene where everyone is sleeping. It could be a coincidence, but on the same page and in the same scene...it looks like a trace of the Zorobin couple. When a couple has been married for years, the two take on certain characteristics from each other and vice versa: the sleeping position is one of them.

Or they have the same expressions in front of Nami when Chopper is missing.

Zoro: Merry's mast is gone...what kind of repairs did Chopper has done? Nami: Don't you understand anything?? He was attacked by someone!! Chopper!!? Sorry for the delay!! Are you there? Answer me! Chopper! Robin: Did they tear him apart, perhaps? Nami: Stop saying such things!

When Luffy decides to leave for the adventure, behind him, on either side, there are Zoro and Robin who have the same smiling face, as if they had always been companions. And there are many examples like these.

OK, it's just a knife Robin is using...but it looks like a hidden trace of Oda. The knife has a handle very similar to that of Zoro's sword, the Wado Ichimonji, the sword that Zoro got from Kuina!

THE POWER OF ZORO: ROBIN DOESN'T DOUBT (UNLIKE THE OTHERS)

Robin, Chopper, and Nami see Zoro fighting a Sky Island shark in the water, and everyone is terrified. Everyone except Robin, who does not show emotions explicitly, but she still observes the scene thoughtfully, with three points plus an exclamation point: in the language of the Japanese manga, it means that she observes with some hidden - but not explicit - apprehension. The fact that she is calmer than the other two shows that Robin doesn't think Zoro is really in trouble. Also, Robin is not without feelings: on other occasions she will explicitly show feelings of distress and concern. But in this case she doesn't, because she is sure that Zoro will make it.

Chopper: A shark!!! Zoro is losing to a sky shark!!!

Zoro has just been swallowed by the Sky Island shark: the situation has worsened then, and Nami and Chopper are desperate. What about Robin? She says something scary as usual, but in saying it she is still sure of Zoro's victory. After all, saying that "if Zoro is defeated, it will rain red" is another way of saying "it is impossible to beat Zoro". Here Robin shows that she has more faith in Zoro's victory than the other two, who have known him for much longer than Robin!

Nami: Aaah...don't come here! Will they eat us too? Chopper: Aaaah!! They ate Zoro!!! Robin: If so, the clouds would be stained red. Nami: Don't say such things, Robin!
