I'd like to add my two cents concerning Oda's treatment of Robin:

I guess she gets a little more spotlight now since she hasn't gotten much since her story arc. She may have tagged along to all the fun but ever since Enies Lobby she was just kinda there, providing bits of exposition at most.

The problem I have is that it's kind of random at this point. Sure, Revolutionary Army involvement in the story -> she trained with them for 2 years. I get why Oda placed her there. But... ah, I'm so tired of those poor excuses for fights! I want her to fight someone on eye level again! Alone!

Which is why I found her catching Hakuba so damn awesome. I was all, YES!, Oda finally remembered what she was like back in the days and why she's cool and powerful and all. More Assassin Robin PLZ! It's so much better and more satisfying than her giant arms/legs gig.
