If oda wasn’t such a coward he would have made Robin part of the monster trio or defo make her the team’s powerhouse.And also her bounty should be higher (realistically it should be the 2nd highest after Luffy, given how she was hunted by the world government for 20 years and has the most valuable information known to man)
Like I can go on a 3 hour ted talk about this, but I’ll keep it short
She’s super intelligent and I think one of the only strawhats who had an education. She was raised by scholars and is one of two people who can read Poneglyphs. Because of that said knowledge, the world government started a world wide hunt for her, in which she had to be on the run for 20 something years. Anywhere she turned to she was treated so badly because they feared or hated her, which just shows how insane the knowledge she held was. After that, she joined a crime syndicate, where she became basically the bosses right hand man. She’s was the top dog spy of Baroque Works!
Her devil fruit is genuinely terrifying and super op and can be used both in combat and is just practical in general. I’ve said this before, if she was allowed to dick twist more enemies (like she did to Franky) the series would have ended far sooner. The ball is in her court (literally). She has twisted once, she will twist again.
Also given she had the fruit most of her life, you know she had time to home and practice and find all the ways she can utilize it. Honestly its disappointing we don’t see her use it more creatively cuz we all know she would get creative with it.
She’s also morbid as hell and if she was given opportunity and reason, she would buldoze enemies till they’re nothing but mush to the ground. Disfigure them in the most deliciously creative ways. Like she wouldn’t… but she could (and that’s the scariest thing of all)
All in all, Robin is super powerful and scary and should be seen as one of the most powerful strawhats. Power scaling is a bitch and it sucks, but she should objectively be seen as such
This would be the world if we all had this vision
