Why is the Rio Poneglyph so important to Robin? In fact her only reason to go
to the end of Grand Line is to find this Poneglyph.

What is the significance of Rio Poneglyph?


It's important because it's said that it contains information about One Piece
history including the **Void Century**.

Why is it important to Robin?

So naturally, Robin became an archaeologist to finish the work started by her
people and to know the true events of history, thus exposing the World
Government.

Why is the Void Century important? Let's take a look at few events that
occurred during the Void Century:

  * Birth of the World Government

> 800 years ago, at the end of the Void Century, the World Government was born
> and took political control of the entire world, uniting all countries and
> forming the Council of Kings. For the World Government, the events of the
> Void Century were better left unknown as information linked to it is
> considered far too dangerous.

  * The Great War

> The most important event during the Void Century seems to be the Great War.
> It ended with the fall of **Shandora** **[City of Gold]**
