## One Piece Chapter 1021, pages 8-9: Demonio - Chapter: 1021 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Nico Robin, Black Maria, Brook, Sanji, Wanyudo, Koala, Sabo, Hack ### Summary Page 8: Black Maria ignites the trap with "Maria Kindling!" Flames roar up through the webbed hall. She recalls Robin's earlier confidence and says, "I seem to recall you saying this would be settled quickly!!" then twists the knife further: "This is what you get for defending that disgrace, Black Leg Sanji!! This humiliating defeat just proves how hopeless the pair of you are!" A translator note identifies "Gashadokuro" as a giant skeleton yokai. Black Maria keeps taunting, asking whether Robin will try blooming more limbs and whether a flower can survive in the sea of flames. Brook answers from below, "Black Maria-san, you keep saying moronic things... If I were you, I would make myself scarce!! Yohoho!!" He also suggests she ask her Gashadokuro friend to put out the fire. 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.
