    Didn't Oda say he saw Nico Robin as Russian when he was asked what nationalities each of the main characters would be in some old SBS

    IIRC he thought Luffy was Brazilian, Nami was Swedish, Sanji was French and Zoro was Japanese

      Oda is also pretty lazy on skin tones and doesn't want to spend the time doing them completely. It's where Usopp and Blackbeard seem whitewashed in some official colored material even though they are supposed to have dark skin. Robin also suffered from this and the Toei anime adaptation just made her tan for the 1st half of the show which was later abruptly rectified in the second half of the show.

      D: Nice to meet you, Oda-sensei. I have a question. If One Piece was set in the real world, which countries would the nine Straw Hats come from? Pen Name: MICHAEL JACKSONS' BROTHER

      O: Well. I'll just put what fits with the character's image.

      Luffy: Brazil
Zoro: Japan
Nami: Sweden
Usopp: Africa
Sanji: France
Chopper: Canada
Robin: Russia
Franky: USA
Brook: Austria
