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.[2] As further allusion to this, pinkish-white petal-like particles form at and then swirl away from where the parts sprout and vanish, as well as around the user itself. 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.[1] The fruit's actual power was fully revealed during Robin and Pell's confrontation.[2]
Etymology
- "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.
- The fruit keeps its original Japanese name in the 4Kids dub by calling it the Hana-Hana Fruit.
- It is called the Flower-Flower Fruit in the VIZ Manga and FUNimation dub.
Appearance
The Hana Hana no Mi is a pink flower shaped fruit with a stem sprouting out of the top, with swirls that go in a curly "S" like-pattern on the petals. Its overall appearance greatly resembles a pink dahlia.[3]
Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths
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, the exception being 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, meaning that unless an opponent is incapable of being held, e.g. through Logia Devil Fruit powers, any opponent that faces the user is practically defenseless against them, making this fruit one of the most powerful of the Paramecia class.
Through the Hana Hana no Mi, Robin can easily catch and restrain even the incredibly fast Hakuba.
As she claims to Pell, speed and strength mean nothing to her, as she can render almost any foe into submission with ease, even those with superhuman speed such as Hakuba. Additionally, the fruit's powers are capable of affecting many foes simultaneously, giving great offensive capabilities. The fruit's powers are also formidable for defense, as seen when Robin 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 also used her powers to create the illusion that she impaled Vivi with her arm, although she has only done this once.[4] By sprouting eyes or ears in strategic places, the fruit's powers can also be used for gathering intelligence.
Before the time skip, Robin was capable of sprouting up to one hundred arms at once. At this apex of power, she could 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 much 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 required great effort to maintain altitude, resisting gravity and gaining forward momentum.
After the timeskip, Robin's duplication ability has grown to the point of being able to sprout up to one thousand body parts at once, which have been seen to meld into gigantic limbs. She has also gained the ability to create a full-body clone of herself. Unlike the rest of her abilities, her clone is also able to generate clothing, though this is an intentional discrepancy common to all Devil Fruits for obvious reasons.[5]
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).[6]
Weaknesses
The user of the Hana Hana no Mi has unique weaknesses as well. The user will gain damage to their body if the extra limbs are attacked, and can feel the pain on each one of them. [7][8] This disadvantage also extends to other Devil Fruits, as if her limbs are affected, then the host body is affected as well, as demonstrated when Sugar touched her limbs with her Hobi Hobi powers, turning her real body into a toy. The user 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, meaning that the individual strength in the replicating appendages is no different to that of Robin's actual corresponding limbs.
This fruit's defensive strategy is to attack from afar and use their superior range to overwhelm the foe. However, when in close range, the user is vulnerable as the fruit lacks serious defensive abilities; in an ambush, the user has few options to block the attack.
Other than that, the user is also affected by the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.
Usage
Before the Timeskip
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.[9] 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 (and later wrestling) 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
An example of the Hana Hana no Mi's use in battle when Robin stops Tashigi.
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.[10] An example of this pattern is the technique, Treinta Fleur: Strangle, wherein she sprouts thirty arms and then strangles her opponents. In the 4Kids dub, this pattern is different: she will instead state 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, Un Furūru?, literally meaning "One Flower"): This attack only appeared in the anime, Rainbow Mist Arc, she used it to push Pukau out from hiding. While "Uno" is the typical form of the Spanish and the Italian number one, and "Un" is the French word for one, thus causing confusion among some, "Un" is also used by Spanish, Catalan, Italian and French speakers to mean the number one, so it is valid.
- Dos Fleur (
二輪咲き , Dosu Furūru?, literally meaning "Two Flower"; kanji meaning "Two Profusely Blooming Flowers"): Robin sprouts two arms. This number of arms being used as a named technique was first seen being used on Franky.[11] With two arms sprouted from Franky's legs, she used to grab on to his "treasure".
- Grab (グラップ, Gurappu?): 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 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.[8] This was first used against Franky.
- 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. This was first seen being used on two guards at the Human Auction House.
- Tres Fleur (
三輪咲き , Toresu Furūru?, literally meaning "Three Flower"; kanji meaning "Three Profusely Blooming Flowers"): 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.[2] 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 uses Tres Fleur to clutch Luffy, but instead of planting three she sprouted six.

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.[21] This move was seen again when facing Moria, 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.

This was first used against Moria.
- 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.

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.[31] 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.

Other Body Parts
Robin replicating her feet to carry Zoro.
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,[38] to transporting fallen comrades with her legs sprouting from out of their bodies.[39]
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.[40][41] In an SBS, Oda hinted she could replicate her breasts too.[42]
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 (

脚場輪咲き , Pieruna Furūru?, literally meaning "Leg Flower"; kanji meaning "Profusely Blooming Legs"): Robin sprouts several feet. This was first seen as a named technique being used to help Chopper perform a combo technique with Robin.[43] 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, 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.[43]
- Oreja Fleur (オレッハフルール, Orehha Furūru?, literally meaning "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.[40][41]
After the 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.
She has also changed the name of her technique Manos to Mano. It was shown the first time when she used Gigantesco Mano, and later shown in other techniques.

This is the first time that Robin has sprouted body parts out of the air rather than off of a solid surface.[50] In the anime, however, the hands were seen sprouting from floating sunflower petals.[51] The "Moth Orchid" is a genus of orchids.
Hanagasa.
- Hanagasa (花傘, Hanagasa?, literally meaning "Flower Umbrella"): Robin creates two giant hands, then several smaller hands growing from that.

At or before 8 years old, Robin ate the Hana Hana no Mi, thus gaining its powers. Because of this, she had been ostracized by many citizens of Ohara, for being a freak, typical for a Paramecia-class Devil Fruit user.
Trivia
- Similar to the Noro Noro no Mi, Robin tends to make accompanying gestures when using her powers, pointing to the spot from which to sprout appendages as a child and crossing her arms with her palms facing up as an adult. However, she has been seen activating her powers without them and is likely not required to.[59]
- Robin most likely crosses her arms to help her concentrate, as she feels the strain of each individual arm.
- Occasionally, when Robin uses or de-spell her techniques, Chrysanthemum petals are formed in the air.
SBS Trivia
Oda's drawing of what if a hairy person ate the fruit.
- 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.[60]
- Another SBS question asked if Robin could sprout breasts. Oda simply stated he was sure she could.[42]
Rejected technique Face Fleur
- In One Piece Color Walk 4 Eagle, there was concept art of Chopper with Robin's face on the back of his head, labeled "Face Fleur" (フェイス・フルール, Feisu Furūru?).[61] In SBS Volume 58, Oda noted that he planned for Robin to use the move in Skypiea, but due to how creepy it looked, the idea was rejected instantly.[62]
- 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".[63]
- In SBS Volume 80, Oda revealed the flower blossoms that appear when Robin is using her powers are "Fuwa Flowers" (フワッフラワー, Fuwaffurawā?). "Fuwa" is a word used to describe fluffy things.
