## One Piece Chapter 1021, pages 3-5: Demonio - Chapter: 1021 - Pages: 3-5 - Characters: Nico Robin, Black Maria ### Summary Page 3: Robin's Sea Serpent rushes Black Maria with enormous arms and hands, but Black Maria withstands the pressure and crashes through the attack. She asks, "You think that'll make me give up?" Robin answers, "There's no escape," and follows with "Get a clue!!" as more giant limbs sweep in from every direction. Black Maria uses her weapon and spider body to batter the giant limbs, striking through the mass of Robin's created arms and forcing the pain back onto Robin's real body. The page reveals the weakness of Robin's enormous bloom: the technique gives her overwhelming reach, but the larger the limbs become, the easier they are for an enemy as strong as Black Maria to hit, catch, and punish. Page 4: Black Maria confirms the drawback by striking Robin's giant limbs and saying, "So, your real body gets injured too!!" She decides, "This is going to be a piece of cake!! These massive limbs are just bigger targets!!" Robin notices the danger when Black Maria adds that her legs are poison-tipped. Black Maria then spreads webbing across the hall with "Maria Net!!" and catches Robin's giant body and limbs in the sticky trap. Robin's main body reacts in pain and alarm as the huge projection is pinned. The page turns Robin's grand technique against her: Black Maria now has a method to restrain the larger body and attack it safely, using webs, poison, and the link between Robin's blooms and her real body. Page 5: Black Maria presses the advantage with "Maria Hush!!" and slams Robin's giant form through the hall. Robin tries to spread her arms and regain control, but Black Maria lunges into close combat, declaring, "I'm a martial artist at heart, and it's not like I need to hold back... since we're both women!!" The line makes her cruelty personal and dismissive; she treats Robin's giant bloom as both a challenge and a punching target. Robin's huge body reels under the blows while her real body feels the damage. The page shows that Black Maria is not only a trickster with illusions and webs, but also a strong close-range fighter willing to brutalize Robin once she understands how the Devil Fruit recoil works.
