## One Piece Chapter 1021, pages 9-10: Demonio - Chapter: 1021 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Nico Robin, Black Maria, Koala, Sabo, Hack, Brook ### Summary Page 9: Black Maria keeps insulting Robin as the fire and webs close in. She asks, "What are you going to do now, devil child?!" and repeats that Robin is "nothing but dead weight" for her crew. She says all the big shots know Robin is helpless and that the only thing of value about her is her mind: "You may as well not have limbs, no one needs your help!" The page cuts into Robin's memories of the Revolutionary Army. Koala describes a special palm strike, saying it is a move that helps in a pinch. Someone asks whether a slap would suffice, but Koala explains that if the opponent is going for the kill, it has to be a palm strike, and Robin needs to focus and strike with a "wham!" A translator note identifies Ryusoken as Dragon Claw Fist. Sabo offers to teach Robin Ryusoken instead, while Hack tells him not to pressure her because Robin is already plenty strong with all her dislocation techniques. Page 10: The flashback continues with the Revolutionary Army trying to help Robin gain an emergency finishing option. Koala says they want to help keep Robin safe after she leaves, and Sabo insists that he already said Robin is strong enough. Robin smiles and answers, "Haha... If that's how you feel, then why not? Go ahead and show me how to do this palm thing." Koala and Sabo cheer, "All right!" In the present, battered but focused, Robin thinks, "In retrospect, it's already come in handy a few times..." She forms "Gigantesco Mano!!" and remembers Koala's instruction: "You've gotta hone in on your opponent's core! This is going to be your trump card, Robin-san!!" Robin begins, "That's right... First you..." and uses "Mil Fleur: Fishman Karate..." to prepare the palm technique.
