## One Piece Chapter 1021, pages 5-7: Demonio - Chapter: 1021 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Nico Robin, Black Maria, Wanyudo ### Summary 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. Page 6: Black Maria launches a direct beating, shouting, "Taste my Oiran Knuckles!!" She punches Robin's giant form hard enough for the real Robin to cough blood and clutch her face. Black Maria laughs, "Ahaha, what a satisfyingly large punching bag!" and continues battering the projection from multiple angles. Robin's created arms try to retreat or guard, but Black Maria follows with more heavy strikes and mockingly says, "Oh my! Now you're the one trying to get away?" The page is a low point for Robin in the duel: her power has made her physically imposing, but Black Maria's strength and understanding of the technique let her convert Robin's size into a liability. Page 7: Black Maria shifts from punching to confinement. She uses more webs and announces "Maria Cage!!" as strands cross the hall and lock Robin's giant limbs and body in place. The webbing forms a cage-like lattice around the battlefield while Black Maria peers in with satisfaction. She then reveals another danger: "By the way, my web is flammable." The surviving living weapon, the Wanyudo-like flame source, moves nearby with a "Fwoosh," making clear that Black Maria intends to burn Robin while she is trapped. The page turns restraint into execution. Robin is pinned by webs, her giant body is still transmitting pain, and Black Maria prepares to set the entire cage ablaze.
