Eiichiro Oda Debuts Striking New Nico Robin Illustration Ahead of One Piece Volume 113

A fresh artwork by Eiichiro Oda featuring Nico Robin has captivated the global One Piece community, sparking a wave of excitement on social media as fans eagerly await the Japanese release of Volume 113.

Artist’s Unique Vision Spotlights a Fan-Favorite

One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda has unveiled a new illustration of Nico Robin, featuring her wearing sunglasses and her beloved hairstyle with front bangs. Known for adding a lively and creative touch to character visuals outside the main manga panels, Oda’s latest sketch highlights Robin—a character highly admired in the One Piece community for her intelligence, charisma, and key role in the story.

Coinciding with the upcoming release of One Piece Volume 113 in Japan, the illustration arrives as part of the promotional campaign for the new volume. Volume 113 is set to include chapters 1145 to 1155, delivering the next installment of the intense Elbaph Arc, which is currently exploring backstories of prominent characters such as King Harald and Rocks D. Xebec. The release schedule highlights the grueling pace faced by weekly manga creators, a point Oda himself humorously commented on while unveiling the new sketch.

Further Releases and Global Anticipation

While the new volume—and accompanying illustration—will debut first in Japanese, international fans can expect translated editions to follow in the coming months.
