## One Piece Chapter 203, pages 9-11: Croc-Like - Chapter: 203 - Pages: 9-11 - Characters: Nico Robin, Crocodile, King Cobra ### Summary Page 9: Robin lunges forward and stabs Crocodile with her knife, but his body instantly turns into sand, splashing apart harmlessly. Robin looks around in confusion, realizing her attack failed. "He disappeared!" Suddenly, Crocodile appears right behind her and ruthlessly impales her through the back with his hooked blade. As he strikes, he says, "I WILL FORGIVE EVERYTHING, NICO ROBIN. BECAUSE, YOU SEE..." Page 10: Robin coughs up blood, severely injured by the attack. Crocodile finishes his sentence with a sinister grin, "I NEVER TRUSTED ANYONE, FROM THE VERY BEGINNING..." He continues, "I've already verified Pluton's existence from Cobra's reaction earlier.

Crocodile turns his back and walks away as Robin collapses to the ground behind him. Page 11: The underground crypt suddenly begins to shake violently with a loud rumble.
