I totally agree! I was thinking about how BA she was in Alabasta and Skypeia, but she hasn't had many chances to prove herself since then. It used to be that everyone had one strong opponent that they had to face, but it hasn't quite been like that recently.

I hope they'll make more use of Robin and her skills. You're right, at one point she was seen as the 2nd strongest fighter in the crew. When she first joined I initially thought that it was crazy that such a high ranking person would join the crew, as she was #2, and everyone else in Crocodile's team was barely beaten by the strawhats. She seemed leagues and leagues ahead of them all.

She had some cool new tricks, and knowing her, she might actually know Haki, but didn't take the chance to use it yet. She had been with Sabo and Dragon for all of those years!
