Wasn't Robin a pretty good fighter/savage?

Why would he be afraid of Maru who he barely knows? Maru obviously has superhuman strength (cracked a wall with a stomp) but Robin doesn't know that?

The way Maru looked at Robin, he knew his ass was gonna get beat BADLY. Most scum/trash like him get scared when they have to be accountable for the horrible actions they committed. I am not a manga reader, this is just my thoughts.

I think it's because of the hatred Robin could see in Maru's eyes, or maybe he knew Maru was a really strong fighter from what Kiruko had told him

That's a good question. I also believe that there's no way he would be frightened if he didn't knew something about Maru.
Either Kiruko talked about it but I find hard to believe that Robin would trust her enough to be afraid, or Robin knows something about Maru, possibly that he's also a hiruko and Robin knows hiruko can be very dangerous.
There's a lot of things to understand yet, even for manga readers, on Robin.

He placed guards at the entrance who were supposed not to let anyone in.
Since he was there, he must have find out what happened and forced his way through by beating the shit out if the guards.

he saw the bodies lying outside and assumed Maru wasn't alone so he got scared. u could see him appear a bit more relaxed but still a bit tense once he realizes maru is alone, but he also realized tht maru beat them all on his own. plus, u can assume hes already heard of maru before.

Now you've spoiled it for me, I didn't knew that, I didn't read the manga.

What did I spoil?
There's a good chance that Maru is Kona and Tokio's child, so that would make him an hiruko since all the kids from the school are hirukos.
Robin knows about man-eaters since he was apparently nurturing one in the room attached to a woman.
I don't think I spoiled anything that would no be deduced from the anime. In fact, from my reading on MAL, all of this has already been deduced by anime-only watchers.

I mean Robin was aware, that Maru beat up multiple guards just to get to him. It makes sense, that he'd be scared of him.

He sees the bodies after dropping the coffee and running away from Maru.
And it's fear is almost instantaneous, he doesn't have the time to wonder if Maru is alone or if his guys have been knocked out. He actually think about that later. But he's afraid as soon as he sees Maru, who is only a 15 years boy, not looking very strong either. It has to mean something.

Robin was pretty good fighter but he also wasn't dumb, he knew that Maru is really pissed off just by looking at his face and because Maru defeated 4 adult, well built men who were supposed to be guardians (that mean they should know how to fight). Also I think Robin quickly completed puzzles and understand that Kiruko must be very important to Maru and that Maru already know what he did to her(him?) so yeah, he was strong but also not dumb and knew what's going

it's just a cheap trick from the author to make us think that Maru is cool and strong
But he failed miserably 😂😭
