## One Piece Chapter 1020, pages 12-13: Robin vs. Black Maria - Chapter: 1020 - Pages: 12-13 - Characters: Black Maria, Nico Robin, Brook, Sanji, Beast Pirates ### Summary Page 12: Black Maria tries to break Robin with words next. She says, "Don't you get it, Nico Robin?! You must know deep down, your friends will always sell you out!!" Brook begins "Soul Parade..." and moves through the fight while Black Maria continues, "Blackfoot called you right to me!!" She attacks with "Ice Burn!!" and then insists that big shots from all over the world are after Robin. Black Maria calls Robin "nothing but a burden to your crew" and says that is why it was so easy to lure her here. The attack is both physical and psychological: Black Maria uses Sanji's call for help as proof that Robin's friends endanger her, hoping to turn the Straw Hats' trust into a weakness. Page 13: Black Maria brings up Sanji's desperate broadcast, shown again as "Robin-chan!! Save me!!" She says all of Onigashima heard that laughingstock, and that Blackfoot has the crew's second-highest bounty, so the humiliation should tell Robin something. Robin stays calm instead of ashamed. Brook laughs, "Yohohohoho!! Sanji-san truly is extraordinary!!" then asks Robin, "I assume you'd like to take it from here?" Robin smiles and says, "Thanks! I appreciate it!" Brook turns toward Black Maria's followers and declares, "You can leave the rest of these night demons to me!! Even though I'm scared of ghosts!!" The page transforms Black Maria's insult into praise: Brook and Robin understand that Sanji trusted Robin enough to rely on her openly.
