Nico Robin will be Immortal and why its Perfect for her

There’s one moment in One Piece that stands above almost all others in emotional weight: when Nico Robin, cornered by the World Government, broken by a lifetime of loss, fear, and betrayal, finally screams:

“I want to live!”

That line hits differently when you consider what it really meant for her. Robin didn’t just want to be saved. She had spent her entire life running from death, from the weight of being the last scholar of Ohara, from the fact that just being near her endangered everyone she loved.

In Enies Lobby, she didn’t scream because she was afraid of dying — she screamed because, for the first time, she chose life. She wanted to live for herself.

And that’s why I believe Nico Robin will be the one who becomes truly immortal — not metaphorically, but literally.

We know that Trafalgar Law’s Ope Ope no Mi can grant immortality to another person at the cost of the user’s life. Most people assume Law himself might be the one to receive it or use it in some vague endgame way, but what if Law sacrifices himself not for Luffy… but for Robin?

Imagine this: near the end of the story, Imu — the mysterious figure atop the World Government — captures both Law and Robin, perhaps realizing just how dangerous their knowledge and abilities truly are. In that moment, Law understands something the rest of the world might’ve missed: Robin’s role in the coming era goes far beyond the Void Century.

Robin isn’t just a scholar. She’s a living bridge to the past. She’s the one who carries Ohara’s dream. And after Joy Boy’s battle is won, someone will still need to carry that truth forward — not for war, not for power, but for rebuilding the world with knowledge, understanding, and memory.

Robin’s immortality wouldn’t be a reward. It would be a burden — a final, painful sacrifice from Law to give the world a future with someone who remembers the past. But if anyone could bear that burden with grace, it’s Robin.

She’d become something like a living Poneglyph. A guide. A teacher. A memory of Ohara who cannot be erased. The one person who will never let the world forget what was lost.

And isn’t that the perfect follow-up to “I want to live”?

She will live. For centuries. For generations. Through the rise and fall of new eras. Because someone has to protect the truth when the heroes are gone. And no one deserves that role more than Nico Robin.

Because as long as she lives — Ohara lives, too. Her immortality would mean that the people of Ohara are never truly gone. That their legacy, their knowledge, and their spirit will endure forever.
