Crew recruitment · Second-sea poster chain

How to recruit Robin through Cobra

The short answer

Robin's information in ONE PIECE: Grand Gourmet comes from Cobra, who is found by exploring Alabasta Kingdom in the second sea. Progress until Robin's Poster becomes available, place it in the restaurant, and let Cobra visit. After her location is revealed, select the poster and pay the displayed coin cost to recruit her.

A displayed poster is only one part of recruitment. The relevant customer must also be available and visit the restaurant. Robin's chain therefore differs from adding a customer to a Server slot or selecting a character for an expedition.

Reach the second sea and find Cobra

  1. Move beyond The Sea of Beginnings into the second sea. If the new sea is unlocked but the ship has not moved, use Relocate rather than waiting for an automatic departure.
  2. Continue the area's progression until Robin's Poster is awarded. Reaching a sea does not mean its posters are available immediately.
  3. Open Explore and visit Alabasta Kingdom to discover Cobra. Check the destination's displayed requirements if an encounter is still unavailable.
  4. Place Robin's Poster in the restaurant so it is displayed while customers visit.

Use Cobra's information to finish recruitment

Robin's later break room provides dish improvement. Recruiting her and placing that room are separate actions; her arrival alone does not mean you have already opened its improvement screen.

  1. Continue restaurant service with the poster displayed and watch for the information about Robin.
  2. After her location is found, select Robin's Poster and review the search or recruitment confirmation and coin cost.
  3. Confirm only when the displayed cost is affordable. Follow the encounter until Robin joins the crew.

If the poster still has no information

  • No poster yet: continue second-sea progression. The sources do not establish a fixed day or a guaranteed expedition drop rate.
  • No Cobra: return to Alabasta Kingdom and inspect its encounter requirements and expedition results.
  • Cobra discovered but no visit: check available seating while service runs. Game8 suggests additional tables can help missing visitors, but this is not a guaranteed cure.
  • Information found but Robin absent: return to the poster and check whether the coin action remains unfinished.

✓ How to check the result

Robin formally joins the Straw Hat crew. The general poster guides say a recruited member's poster disappears after the completed recruitment.

If your goal is dish improvement, follow Robin's break-room request next and place the room.
