3 of her normal arms, are enough to restrain one arm of Hakuba.


Hakuba’s weaker form…..Cavendish can clash equally with Chinjoa

And we know 1000s of Robin’s normal arms make up her giant arm. Meaning her giants arms are around 100x+ stronger than the arms needed to restrain Hakuba….who’s a solid high mid tier and above the lvl needed to clash calmly with Chinjoa.

And of course Badd Maria is strong enough to restrain her giant arms with her webs.

Monsters….

Yeah and Black Maria's hand would have get broken if Sanji puts armament haki on to defend himself.

I snorted remembering jinbe vs who's who.

While I love Robin, the one thing I dislike about her fights is how tricky it is. I mean Robin has some power, yet she can't take that many hits + the giant limbs cost too much stamina ( hopefully this is fixed )

It limits her having an actual fight because it usually ends in a one shot. That's not exciting to me ( in general ) because that usually means her matchup will also be fragile.

& this isn't to downplay robin by any means but I just view black Maria as the weakest of the flying 6. In a setting like this, endurance matters.

Robin stopping Hakuba that easy was really odd to me. But whatever.

She using 1000s arms in her Gigantesco mano doesn't necessarily means it is 1000x times stronger or even 100x like you said for whatever reason.

Her gigantesco mano may have the WEIGHT of 1000 arms but it has the power of one arm using that weight. I guess this is not hard to understand.

Thats a pretty stupid take. If it had the power of one of her normal arms…she wouldnt be able to move that weight.

1) Been saying this since Oars pre-TS

2) Cavendish did not clash equally with Chinjao, his sword bent soon after and he had to dodge, and the only reason it did not break was due to being a meitou

3) Robin is not hax, as BM has proven, you just need to reach a high threshold of physical power/force or other force to escape from her restraints. Same for DD on a higher level.

If restraining someone is an accurate measure of their physical strength then Luffy's casually stronger than Hybrid Kaido.


Don't get me wrong I'm not saying she's physically weak - Robin is physically strong but imo, it is a matter of technique more than strength when it comes to restraining others. Robin's holds are usually aimed at limiting movements and specifically joint locks. Oda even has a character who's a Fishman Karate master, basically a martial artist, in the revolutionaries describe her fighting style.

Just like whatever Luffy tried at Kaido ended up in a weird form of a chokehold, although that might just be me trying to make too much sense out of Oda's manga.

However, that doesn't translate to pure physical strength though. Weaker people can successfully restrain physically stronger people, if they know exactly where to target.

Different situations that are not comparable.

In one Luffy is using his entire force to pull Kaido back for an instant, by using special characteristics of his fruit, in the other Robin is completely subduing an enemy combatant to the extent of him not being able to do anything whatsoever.

So yes, it´s a measure of strength. Obviously it does not translate fully from requiring the exact physical strength of the opponent to do it, like you said, technique is also important, but the techniques without a certain amount of strength would not work.
And Robin pre-TS already had the capabilities of keeping Oars´arm in check, and he might very well be the physically strongest speciman in OP yet, the least one of the strongest.

The Luffy move just looks like a different form of chokehold to me tbh while using the characteristics of his fruit as you said. Although I agree that he doesn't restrain Kaidou fully and only does it momentarily unlike what Robin does to Hakuba.

I agree that a certain level of strength is also needed though and as I stated in my post itself, Robin is physically strong. Just that restraining feats don't necessarily translate fully to physical strength.
