## One Piece Chapter 1021, pages 10-12: Demonio - Chapter: 1021 - Pages: 10-12 - Characters: Nico Robin, Koala, Sabo, Hack, Black Maria, Beast Pirates ### Summary 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. Page 11: Robin completes the Fishman Karate lesson through her giant hand and strikes with "Giganteum!!" A massive palm erupts upward through the burning hall and smashes into the ceiling instead of Black Maria. Black Maria thinks Robin missed and starts to realize the truth too late: "You missed?! No, don't tell me...!" Debris and water crash down through the hall, dousing the flames and breaking the burning advantage Black Maria had built. Black Maria snarls, "You maggot!! You put out the fire," while Robin calmly answers from below. The page shows why the Revolutionary Army training mattered. Robin did not need the palm strike just to hit Black Maria; she used it with precision to erase the fire trap and create the opening for her true finishing form. Page 12: Robin unveils "Demonio Fleur!!" and takes on a dark, horned, winged giant form that terrifies Black Maria and the nearby enemies. Black Maria gasps, "A devil...?!" and Robin answers, "I'll be a devil if that's what it takes... to help the people... that count on me!!" Enemies scream, "Get away!! What the hell is that form?!" Black Maria tries to repeat her insult, saying Robin may as well not have limbs, but Robin cuts through it: "No!! I wasn't talking about me! You're the one who's helpless!!" Then Robin locks Black Maria into "Grand Jacuzzi Clutch!!" and twists the giant spider-woman's body with a brutal submission hold. Black Maria screams as the technique crushes her, and the page makes the chapter title literal: Robin embraces the demon image others project onto her if that is what it takes to protect her friends.
