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 from the surface of any object or living thing. "Hana" (花) 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 the user itself, 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 the user 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. In another instance she was able to render the Alabasta forces reluctant to enter the Royal Tombs simply by covering the entrance in arms that tried to grab them as they neared. She can also focus her power on one or many foes around her. Another strength is that the user can also create other body parts like an eye or an ear 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 cannot create limbs where there is not enough room and while each part is capable of that part's 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 no different to that of Robin's actual corresponding limbs. So with hundred arms or more each individual limb gains no extra strength, although she can meld them together to end up having exponentially more strength at her disposal, along with excellent crowd control that comes with that many limbs accomplishing holds and chokes on the enemy. Also, like all Devil Fruit Users, she cannot swim.

Using the aforementioned spawning of one hundred arms, 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 only pattern to show any time limit was seen with the Cien Fleur Wing, as it requires great effort to maintain altitude and keep her in mid-air, resisting gravity and gaining forward momentum. Her abilities also allow her to create limbs of gigantic proportions, as Robin demonstrated after the 2-year timeskip.

After the timeskip, Robin's duplication ability has grown to the point of creating a full-body clone of herself. Oddly, unlike the rest of her abilities, her clone is also able to generate clothes.

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 or tools 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 the word "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 will instead states the whole technique in English and replace the "Fleur" with "Floret". 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): 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, Catalan and French speakers to mean the number one, so it is valid.


 * Dos Fleur (二輪咲き（ドスフルール）): 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): 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): 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. This was first seen being used on two guards at the Human Auction House.


 * Tres Fleur (三輪咲き（トレスフルール）): Robin sprouts three arms. This number of arms being used as a named technique was first seen being used against Pell in his half-falcon form. Two of her arms held back his wings while the third grabbed his sword. This prevented Pell from unsheathing his sword and was subsequently sent crashing down. In the 4Kids dub, this technique is called Three Floret. In One Piece TV Special 2, Robin use Tres Fleur to clutch Luffy, but instead of planting three she sprouted six.


 * Cinco Fleur (五輪咲き（シンコフルール）): Robin sprouts five arms. This number of arms being used as a named technique was first seen being used to swing her away from being bitten by Nola.

In the manga when this is first shown, she sprouts 5 arms, but in the anime she sprouts ten arms despite also saying "Cinco".


 * Seis Fleur (六輪咲き（セイスフルール）): Robin sprouts six arms. This number of arms being used as a named technique was first seen being used to hold Pell before using clutch to break his back.

 * Clutch (クラッチ): Two arms grab an opponent's legs and makes them fall backwards. Two pairs hold the foe up at their back, and a pair grabs his upper body. The pairs at the upper body and legs pull, cracking the foe's back.


 * Slap (スラップ): A technique that uses six arms that Robin has sprouted. By sprouting the six hands on certain locations of an opponent's body, Robin can slap them. This was first seen being used repeatedly on Spandam. By sprouting her hands from his torso, Robin slapped his face repeatedly to a bloody pulp.


 * Ocho Fleur (八輪咲き（オーチョフルール）): Robin sprouts eight arms. This number of arms being used as a named technique was first seen being used against Capote in order to stop him from attacking.


 * Flip (フリップ): A technique that uses eight arms that Robin has sprouted. By sprouting six arms to hold the opponent still, and two from out of her opponent's lower back to hold the ground. Robin can flip the opponent over so that they fall on their head. This was first seen being used on Capote during the Donut Race portion of the Davy Back Fight.


 * Clutch (クラッチ): This works the same as Seis Fleur Clutch, but this technique seems to hold the person tightly so they cannot move. This was first seen being used on Usopp on the Sea Train during the Water 7 arc.


 * Nueve Fleur (ヌエベフルール): Robin sprouts nine arms. This number of arms being used as a named technique was first seen being used against three Marines who held up Duval and his men.


 * Twist (ツイスト): A technique that uses nine arms that Robin has sprouted. By sprouting nine arms on specific points of three enemies, Robin can twist the bodies of three enemies to a side. This was first seen being used to save Duval and his men from some Marines.


 * Once Fleur (十一輪咲き（オンセフルール）): Robin sprouts eleven arms. This number of arms being used as a named technique was first seen being used on a general zombie.


 * Slam (スラム): A technique that uses eleven arms that Robin has sprouted. By sprouting her arms on certain points of her opponent's body, Robin is able to grab and slam them against a wall. This was first seen being used to slam a general zombie.


 * Doce Fleur (十二輪咲き（ドーセフルール）): Robin sprouts twelve arms. This number of arms being used as a named technique was first seen being used in an attempt to bind Jigoro. This technique was also used by Robin in One Piece fifth movie to pull Boo Kong from the top of a cliff.


 * Clutch (クラッチ): With two arms restraining each of the opponent's legs, two restraining each arm, and four restraining the neck, Robin "clutches" the opponent in an attempt to break their back. Despite apparently using twelve arms, this is not explicitly identified as a "Doce Fleur" move. This was first seen being used to finish off Yama.


 * Dieciséis Fleur (十六輪咲き（ディエシセイスフルール）): Robin sprouts sixteen arms. This number of arms being used as a named technique was first seen being used to stop several Alabasta guards from reaching the palace. By sprouting her arms on the door which leads to the palace, she temporarily stopped them from opening it as her moving arms created a hindrance for them.




 * Veinte Fleur (二十輪咲き（ベインテフルール）): Robin sprouts twenty arms. This number of arms being used as a named technique was first seen being used to protect the ruins in Skypiea from Yama's attack. In the anime, this number of arms was seen being used to save Usopp from falling instead of six.


 * Calendula (金盞花（カンデュラ）): A technique that uses twenty arms that Robin has sprouted. By spreading about the ten new arms out of each her two original arms, Robin can create a shield of sorts that can block attacks. This technique however is not exactly defensive for Robin herself as she still receives wounds from the attack and is used more to defend something else near Robin. This was first seen being used by Robin to defend some ancient text from Yama's attack. This move was seen again when facing Moriah, however, this time her hand can spin around, hitting any objects away when it comes too close. And used once again against Moria's Brick Bat, with little effect. Calendula refers to "Calendula officinalis", the scientific name for the Pot Marigold or Scotch Marigold flower.


 * Twist (ツイスト): Robin sprouts a large number of arms from the torso of an enemy and twists them around. The exact amount of hands is unclear, but is apparently at least 23. This was first seen being used against a surprise zombie.

 * Hang (ハング): A technique that uses thirty arms that Robin has sprouted. By sprouting arm after arm from a high place, Robin can catch an opponent in the air. After catching an opponent with Hang, Robin can slam the opponent onto a nearby vertical surface. This was first seen being used on Yama when Robin decided to fight back.


 * Clutch (クラッチ): A technique that uses thirty arms that Robin has sprouted. It is similar to the other versions of Clutch, but with more arms holding each part of the body. This version was first seen being used on Aokiji to completely break him apart.


 * Ochenta Fleur (八十輪咲き（オチェンタフルール）): Robin sprouts eighty arms. This number of arms being used as a named technique was first seen being used to hold down Moriah with Cuatro Manos.


 * Cuatro Manos (四本樹（クワトロ・マーノス）): Robin uses the eighty arms she sprouted to combine them into four gigantic hands. The technique literally means Four Hands.


 * Hold (ホールド): 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): 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. The only difference in this version however is that this is the larger version of the technique. It can thus be used on larger opponents. This was first seen being used against Gekko Moriah in an attempt to defeat him.


 * Shock (ショック): A technique that uses four huge arms combined from eighty regular sized arms that Robin has sprouted. By sprouting two pairs of large arms on the shoulders of a large opponent, Robin interlocks each large hand with it's corresponding one on the opposite shoulder and slams the opponent's head with two simultaneous blows. This was first seen being used against a Pacifista before it could fire its mouth beam at Nami. Having forced the Pacifista's mouth closed with the blows before it could fire, it caused the beam to go off inside it's mouth.




 * Cien Fleur (百花繚乱（シエンフルール）): Robin sprouts one hundred arms. This number of arms being used as a named technique was first seen being used against Yama with Delphinium. In the 4Kids adaptation, this is called Hundred Floret. The Japanese word, "Hyakka Ryōran", literally means "Many Flowers Blooming in Profusion".


 * Delphinium (大飛燕草（デルフィニウム）): A technique that uses a hundred arms that Robin has sprouted. By creating a path with the arms, she can systematically roll or lift both opponents and allies alike. This was first seen being used on Yama to roll him off a cliff. She then used a Clutch move with the use of apparently twelve arms wrapped around his body to finish him off as he fell. The word "Delphinium" is the name of a particular type of flower.


 * Wing (ウイング): A technique that uses a hundred arms that Robin has sprouted. By sprouting her arms from her back, by the shoulder blades, and having them hold each other tightly in certain way, Robin is able to create two giant makeshift wings made from fifty of her arms per wing. Robin is then able to briefly fly in mid-air for five seconds, even if she is carrying another person with her. This technique was first seen being used to carry Franky and herself after Franky destroyed the bridge they were standing on. And was later used to parachute herself safely down to the Human Auction House after being escorted there by the Flying Fishman Riders in the Sabaody Archipelago.


 * Spider Net (蜘蛛の華（スパイダーネット）): A technique that uses a hundred arms that Robin has sprouted. By sprouting her arms around each other in a certain formation and having them hold each them tightly, Robin can create a net that resembles a spider's web. This was first seen being used to save Zoro from falling after Oars kicked him from high up into the air.


 * Big Tree (大樹（ビッグツリー）): A technique that uses a hundred arms that Robin has sprouted. By sprouting her arms all together in one area, Robin can create a mass of hands that resembles a giant tree. 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.


 * Flip (フリプ): A technique that uses a hundred arms that Robin has sprouted. This is apparently an anime-only technique. This was first seen being used on several Marine captains to flip them as they were running down the steps to the evacuation ship in Enies Lobby.


 * Defense (ディフェンス): A technique that uses a hundred arms that Robin has sprouted. This is an anime-only technique. By sprouting her arms in a crisscross fashion, Robin can create a giant net-like structure made from her arms. Using this, Robin can block cannonballs. Though the cannonballs hit Robin's arms directly, she apparently did not show any signs of pain. This technique was first seen being used in the anime to protect the Going Merry from cannonballs fired at the ship during the Straw Hats escape from Enies Lobby. The cannonballs after being blocked were then thrown back by Franky.


 * Slalom Vine (回転蔓（スラロームバイン）): A propelling technique wherein Robin uses an unspecified number of arms one after another like a chord and winds it around somebody else's (whose bodies had been parallel to the ground) torso before pulling it. This results in a spinning vertical top-like effect that lasts even while in mid-air. This was first seen being used together with Brook, Usopp, and Nami.


 * Dos Manos (二本樹（ドス・マーノス）): A technique in which she sprouts an unspecified number of arms to create two large arms. This was first seen being used against a Flying Fish Rider. Depending on her Cuatro Manos performed from Ochenta Fluer, we can judge the number of this skill, Cuarenta Fleur. This technique literally means Two Hands.


 * Clutch (クラッチ): A technique that uses the two huge arms that Robin created. She basically grabs an opponent with these two and breaks him. This was first seen being used against a Flying Fish Rider while he was riding on his giant flying fish in an attack.


 * 600,000,000 Beli Jackpot (６億Ｂ・ＪＡＣＫＰＯＴ（6おくベル・ジャックポット）): A combo technique that is done with Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Franky against a large group of opponents. In here, Robin is seen using an unspecified number of arms to perform a clutch attack. This was first seen being used against a group of zombies.


 * Gran Fleur (グランフルール): An anime-only technique in the fourth One Piece movie where Robin spreads a lot of arms from the right side of the Going Merry, and makes a single giant-sized arm. She then grabs a house and pulls the ship towards the river.

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 cannot 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.

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）): 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）): 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 continuously leap 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): 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): 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.

Post-Timeskip
After the two year timeskip Robin has acquired a new level of skill with using her ability, as she has shown to be able to grow one thousand arms at once, along with learning to create a replica of her entire body with clothing, having one appear in between Luffy and Jinbe when they were fighting.

Limbs

 * Cien Fleur (百花繚乱（シエンフルール）): Robin sprouts a hundred arms.


 * Rindo (竜胆): Robin twists her opponent's upper half. This was first used against a centaur with the lower half of a giraffe in Chapter 658. A "gentian" is a plant that has terminal tubular flowers.


 * Mil Fleur (千紫万紅（ミル・フルール）): Robin sprouts a thousand arms. This number of arms being used as a named technique was first seen being used to create two huge hands to push the Thousand Sunny away from an underwater mountain so it did not crash.




 * Gigantesco Mano (巨大樹（ヒガンテスコ・マーノ）): Robin creates two giant limbs, sprouting from potentially anywhere. They have great physical power, even when used underwater, and were able to push the Thousand Sunny away from an underwater mountain in their first use. Oddly enough, even though this attack's name literally means gigantic hand, it can be used to create legs.


 * Stomp (ストンプ): Using two giant legs created by Mil Fleur: Gigantesco Mano, Robin stomps down upon her opponents. It was first used during the battle at Gyoncorde Plaza.


 * Cuarenta Fleur (四十輪咲き（クワレンタ・フルール）): Robin sprouts fourty arms.
 * Cuatro Mano (四本樹（クワトロ・マーノ）): Robin uses the fourty arms she sprouted to combine them into four gigantic hands.


 * Hold (ホールド): A technique that uses four huge arms, combined from fourty 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 man.
 * Spank (スパンク): A technique where Robin sprouts four huge arms that strike with an open palm. It was first used by sprouting the arms from Nami's body, and attacking in all four directions, to shatter Monet's Monster Form and free Nami from her hold.

Other Body Parts

 * Cuerpo Fleur (体咲き（クエルポフルール）): Robin sprouts a copy of her whole body anywhere she likes it, be it on her opponent's body or on land. She can also sprout extra limbs on these duplicated bodies to use some attacks more effectively. This was first seen (but not named) when Robin used a decoy of herself to stop Luffy and Jinbe from fighting each other.
 * Doble Clutch (W（ドーブレ）・クラッチ): Robin sprouts two clones of herself with extra limbs using Cuerpo Fleur and grabs her opponent's head and legs. She then uses Clutch simultaneously on both the opponent's legs and head, breaking both the opponents lower back and neck. This was first used against Hammond to break his back.

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.
 * One more SBS question asked if a male user of the Hana Hana no Mi could bloom a penis to pee from a distance. Oda confirmed and jestingly called it "Dick Fleur".
 * 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 does not leave this position even under attack; though sometimes her powers activate without any sort of movement.
 * Robin most likely crosses her arms to help her concentrate, as she feels the strain of each individual arm.
 * 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.
 * In One Piece Green: Secret Pieces, it was noted that Robin was planned to use a new move called "Face Fleur" in Skypiea, but due to how creepy it looked, the idea was rejected instantly.
