"no one do" is incorrect in standard US English. "No one" is singular, and so the singular form "does" is required.
"Do" is the plural form, and "does" is the singular form of the verb "to do". "He does it, but they do it." Strictly speaking, these are the third-person plural and singular forms, respectively.
