Why ‘One Piece’ Fans Are Hyped for Nico Robin’s Netflix Debut

Over the weekend, Netflix unveiled the official season two trailer of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece. It’s laden with peeks at where the Straw Hat Pirates’ odyssey will take them on their trek to uncover the pirate king’s hidden treasure—and fans lost their minds at the first look at a fan-favorite character, Miss All Sunday, aka Nico Robin.
