ZoRobin

ZoRobin is the het ship between Roronoa Zoro and Nico Robin from the One Piece fandom.

Post Alabasta/Jaya

 * After the Straw Hats left Alabasta, Robin showed herself after hiding herself on board of Going Merry. She then told them that she wanted to join the crew, which was eventually accepted by Luffy because he said that she didn’t do anything wrong. Although most of the Straw Hats had accepted her as a crewmate, it was Zoro who remained wary of Robin due to her being a former enemy as well as being the vice president of Baroque Works. She used various tricks to gain the trust of her crewmates, she never tried to trick Zoro into accepting her —  she just gave him a smile.


 * They were paired up as a team during the hunt for the South bird. Zoro told her that he was still wary of her and she was still hiding her true intentions.

Skypiea

 * Zoro’s protective nature was shown despite not trusting Robin when she was struck by lightning by Enel.

Davy Back Fight

 * Zoro unsheathed his sword immediately when Robin was threatened by Aokiji, hence the first one to defend her against the admiral.

Quotes
"She is a woman."

- Referring to Zoro's words when Enel struck Robin with lighting in episode 180, Skypiea Arc.

Fanon

 * The popularity of the pair began on the Skypiea arc and ZoRobin fans tend to say  that it is one of the best arcs for the pair. From Zoro on being wary to Robin to fully recognizing her as a crewmate. One of the iconic moments that drew fans with the pair was the time when Zoro caught her in his arms after Enel brutally attacked her with his lightning— it was then that Zoro was still wary of Robin before that event.
 * When Zoro first used Asura during his fight with Kaku on Enies Lobby, its appearance was an illusion which looks like "demon god with three heads and six arms." With that, fans noticed that his nine-sword style was similar to the way Robin sprouts hands with her devil fruit.
 * ZoRobin fans headcanon Robin and Zoro as ‘parents’ of Chopper, the resident doctor of the Straw Hats. Throughout the series, both Zoro and Robin have shown that they care a lot for Chopper.

Trivia

 * In Eiichiro Oda’s 1994 Monster manga, there are some parallels that can be linked to the pairing — Zoro’s resemblance with the samurai Ryuma and Robin sharing a similar tragedy with the heroine Flare who is the only survivor of her village that was ravaged by a dragon.
 * Robin’s official color is violet, while Zoro’s official color is green.
 * In the 11th cover art for Alabasta, a Strawhats vs Baroque Works color spread shows the rest of the strawhats facing the foe they are going to fight against. Zoro, sneering, is matched against Robin despite her being the only one to not fight in any of the battles.
 * Zoro and Robin's relationship with Chopper can be seen as a mother and father.
 * In Chapter 562, Robin is featured in the cover art being imprinted by a flock of ducks while an independent duckling with three sticks similar to Zoro is seen waddling in the other direction.
