Hana Hana no Mi

The Hana Hana no Mi is a Paramecia type Devil Fruit that allows the user to replicate and sprout pieces of their body multiple times from the surface of any object or living thing. "Hana" is the Japanese word for "bloom" and "flower", and reflects the nature of the user's power to sprout their body parts like a blooming flower. Whenever the parts sprout from a chosen surface, pinkish-white petal-like particles also seem to originate and then swirl away from where they sprouted, as well as around Robin herself, further giving emphasis to the Devil Fruit's name; the parts seem to remain on the location from which they bloomed for as long as until Robin wills otherwise and also does so in a dissipating manner, also with the petals being manifested as they vanish. The fruit almost keeps its original Japanese name in the 4Kids dub by calling it the Hana-Hana Fruit, but is called the Flower-Flower Fruit in the Viz Manga and FUNimation dub. It was eaten by Nico Robin.

The power of the fruit was first demonstrated but not clearly seen before Luffy and crew when they first met Robin on the Going Merry. The fruit's actual power was fully revealed during Robin and Pell's confrontation.

Strengths and Weaknesses
I don't think you understand yet. Power. Speed. They mean nothing to me.

The fruit's major strength, as demonstrated by Nico Robin, is the ability to sprout multiple body parts on any surface including the user's own body, except seastone. With this ability the user can take on many attackers by using many sprouted limbs. Since the user is practically the only one who knows where their limbs will sprout out, they have the element of surprise on their side. So unless an opponent is incapable of being held, like being a Logia Devil Fruit user or otherwise, any opponent that faces the user is practically defenseless against them, making this fruit one of the most powerful of the Paramecia class. As she claims to Pell "speed" and "strength" mean nothing to her, as she can render almost any foe into submission with ease. She also used her powers to create the illusion that she impaled Vivi with her arm, although she has only done this once. She can also focus her power on one or many foes around her. Another strength is that the user can also create body parts like an eye in order to gather information.

The user of the Hana Hana no Mi has some weaknesses unique to themselves. The user will gain damage to their body if the extra limbs are attacked and can feel the pain. They can't create limbs where there is not enough room and while each part is capable of that parts normal movements, the body part itself is bound to where it was sprouted from. The strength of the user is also still limited to their individual strength. This means that the individual strength in the replicating appendages are basically no different to that of Robin's actual corresponding limbs. So even if they sprout a hundred arms or more in order to aid in carrying something, they will still feel like they're carrying the load with their own two arms. It is unconfirmed but an additional weakness may be in the traditional crossed-arm pose being necessary to activate the Hana Hana no Mi's powers as Robin seemed unable to attack when she was restrained by Jigorou (Zoro's zombie) but once he released her she assumed the stance and could attack again.

Fortunately, Robin can use each hand created to support each other and meld together thereby allowing her to create larger hands out of many to take on more powerful and larger foes. This aspect also makes her more versatile as it allows her to form more intricate patterns with her sprouting limbs like Cien Fleur Wing and Big Tree. The weakness of some of these patterns, as seen with the Cien Fleur Wing, is that some patterns may only be able to hold themselves together for a brief moment. It also allows her to create limbs of nearly gigantic proportions, as Robin demonstrated after the 2-year time-skip.

According to Oda, the user has a radius of 200 Hana Hanas in which they can extend parts of their body (although he did say this jokingly).

Usage
The powers of the fruit have been used by Robin for a variety of ways. She has been using them as far back as when she was a child. She most notably uses the powers for combat, however she has been known to use them for other purposes (such as tickling Luffy and Chopper). When Robin uses her power in battle, she uses a submission and grappling style where she replicates her arms at specific locations on her opponent's body and puts them in painful holds to prevent them from moving, or to disarm them by knocking away any weapon of tool that they may have in their possession.

Arms
Robin mostly uses the fruit's powers to replicate her arms in order to do a variety of things. The named techniques that Robin uses for her arms all follow a pattern. First, she says the number of arms she will sprout in Spanish followed by Fleur, which means flower in French. From there, depending on where she sprouted her arms, she can do a number of things. If the thing she will do next is an attack, she will state the name of the attack in English. An example of this pattern is the technique, Treinta Fleur: Strangle, wherein she sprouts thirty arms and then strangles her opponents. In the 4Kids adaption, this pattern is different. She instead states the whole technique in English with Floret replacing Fleur. In the Viz Manga and FUNimation dub, the names of her techniques are the same as the original Japanese version.

The named techniques that involve her using the Devil Fruit to replicate and sprout her arms are as follows.


 * Un Fleur (ウンフルール Un Furūru, One Flower): This attack only appeared in the anime, Rainbow Mist filler arc, she used it to push Pukau out from hiding. While 'Uno' is the typical form of the Spanish number one, and 'Un' is the french word for one, thus causing confusion among some, 'Un' is also used by Spanish speakers to mean the number one, so it is valid.


 * Dos Fleur (二輪咲き (ドスフルール) Dosu Furūru, Two Flower): Robin sprouts two arms. This number of arms being used as a named technique was first seen being used on Franky. With two arms sprouted from Franky's legs, she used Grab on his "treasure".
 * Grab (グラッブ, Gurabbu): A technique that uses two arms that Robin has sprouted. This has so far been used to persuade Franky to join the Straw Hats when he initially declined to join them. With her two arms sprouting from his legs, she grasped and crushed his "treasure" in a rather hilarious scene in order to change his mind. The pain inflicted by her using this technique was obviously unbearable and brought Franky to his knees in agony. In a response to a fan, Oda stated that Robin pretty much felt what she was touching at the time.


 * Clutch (クラッチ, Kuracchi): Robin sprouts two hands to cover the opponent's mouth, then bends them backward with bone-breaking results. She can use this move on at least two opponents simultaneously, though it is not explicitly identified as a "Dos Fleur" move.

 * Hold (ホールド, Hōrudo): A technique that uses four huge arms combined from eighty regular sized arms that Robin has sprouted. With these four huge arms, Robin sprouts them from a large enemy's body and holds them down with them in a fashion similar to the way she would normally hold a normal-sized person.
 * Clutch (クラッチ, Kuracchi): A technique that uses four huge arms, combined from eighty regular-sized arms, that Robin has sprouted. It is basically the same move like the other versions of Clutch where Robin snaps an opponent with her arms.

This was first seen being used against Gekko Moriah in an attempt to defeat him.
 * Shock (ショック, Shokku): A technique that uses four huge arms combined from eighty regular sized arms that Robin has sprouted.

This was first seen being used to bind Oars' massive left arm after Zoro knocked it backwards. While Robin immediately grabbed Oars' arm with this technique without stating any other technique in the manga, the anime extended this technique a bit. In the anime, after Robin created the Big Tree, she moved the entire mass like one gigantic arm, grabbed Oars' arm, and performed a Clutch move on Oars' arm with it. In Unlimited Cruise, Robin uses this move to produce a mass of arms somewhere close to where she is and bludgeon all enemies around her at close range using a wide sweeping motion.

 * Gigantesco Mano (巨大樹 (ヒガンテスコ・マーノ) Higantesuko Māno, Hand Gigantic, literally Gigantic Hand): Robin creates two giant arms, with 500 arms each, both sprouting from a selected side of the Thousand Sunny. They have great power, even when used underwater, and were able to push the Thousand Sunny away from a mountain using a pushing move similar to a CPR maneuver.

Other Appendages
Aside from her arms, Robin can also replicate other parts of her body. These enable her to do a variety of things from giving her extra insight into other places with her eyes sprouting on certain objects, to transporting fallen comrades with her legs sprouting from out of their bodies.



The other body parts she can replicate usually include parts of her body that enable her to do things that her arms can't do. These thus include Robin sprouting either eyes or ears to enable her to see or hear things that would otherwise be too inaccessible for her to get any closer. In an SBS, Oda hinted she could replicate her breasts too.

It is unknown what other body parts she can possibly replicate aside from her arms and the ones mentioned. It is also currently unknown whether she can make her whole body appear (ie. clone herself) as the idea has not been explored.

The named techniques that involve her using the Devil Fruit to replicate and sprout other body parts aside from arms are as follows.


 * Ojos Fleur (目抜咲き(オッホスフルール), Ohhosu Furūru, Flower Eyes, literally Eyes Flower): Robin sprouts eyes so that she can see things at a distance. This was first seen as a named technique being used to help locate Usopp after he swam through the clouds by sprouting them from Luffy's arm as he stretches it downwards the White Sea.


 * Pierna Fleur (脚場輪咲き(ピエルナフルール), Pieruna Furūru, Flower Leg, literally Leg Flower): Robin sprouts several feet. This was first seen as a named technique being used to help Chopper perform a combo technique with Robin. By sprouting her legs one after another from under Chopper's feet, she increased the height for which Chopper could perform a suplex move. She later used this move to form footholds on the exterior of Thriller Bark's main mast for Brook (who was carrying Luffy) to continousleap on by having the legs crossed together in pairs, supporting the weight of the two Devil Fruit users.
 * Robi-Cho Suplex (ロビッチョスープレックス, Robi Cho Sūpurekkusu): A technique that can be done by Robin and Chopper that involves several of Robin's legs. After Chopper grabs an opponent in Heavy Point, Robin sprouts leg after leg under Chopper's feet. When a desired height is achieved, Chopper would jump off his "stilts" and crush the opponent's head in a suplex. This was first seen being used against Hogback.


 * Oreja Fleur (オレッハフルール, Orehha Furūru, Flower Ear, literally Ear Flower): Robin sprouts an ear to listen on conversations. Though not yet openly stated as a named technique in the manga, Robin however has stated a named technique involving her ears in the anime known as Oreja Fleur. In the anime episode in which she uses it, Robin first sprouts two lines of connected multiple arms from a distance. At the very end of each line, in the palm of each hand, is an ear. She used this technique to listen in on a conversation between two Marines safely from a distance.

Trivia

 * According to Oda, in response to a fan, if the Hana Hana no Mi was eaten by a person with hairy arms, the arms that would be sprouted would also be hairy as seen above.
 * Another SBS question asked if she could sprout breasts. Oda simply stated he was sure she could.
 * Similar to the Noro Noro no Mi, Robin seems to use some sort of movement to activate her powers. As a child, she pointed to the location of where the arms would sprout and commonly, she crosses her arms with the palms facing up and sometimes doesn't leave this position even under attack; though sometimes her powers activate without any sort of movement.
 * Due to a misinterpretation of her words "If I can see it..." many mistake the fact she must be able to see where she is forming the limbs to form them in the first place. However, in this instance all she was noting is that if she knows what she is attacking she can react to it, this is the same as any other fighter (e.g. a marksman) cannot attack something if they do not know where the thing they are attacking is.
