What is the technical explanation for Robin's demon form?
This is all we have so far and probably the best we're gonna get until a long time unfortunately. Probably in SBS, Vivre Card or whatever too:

Robin then uses a new technique called “Demonio Fleur” (悪魔咲き) transforming her giant body into a black demon with bat wings, horns and fangs (maybe her body is black because she uses Color of Arms Haki?). Black Maria is shocked and screams.


:robinsweat::josad:


Gotta love Oda's constant ambiguity and making us play guessing games forever!

:lusalty::kriwhat:
 
Just like Who's Who and Sasaki aren't either :suresure:
Who’s Who most likely isn’t. We never saw him laying unconscious on the floor, and we never saw his face. This summary mentions the ceiling breaking, so WsW could come down from the 4th floor to the 3rd floor to capture Robin, who can’t defend herself right now, leading to Brook vs WsW

Much better chapter.

Those early spoilers were really baiting shit.

Just saying Shinobu age Momo, that's it :gonope:

Brook vs CP0 sounds fucking amazing for me, make it happen Oda!

Who’s Who doesn’t fight with a sword, stop trying to force him against brook
 
She's gotta be a fraud, the spider she is based on only supposedly grew up to just over half a centimetre!? Not even remotely close an inch either! It was 6 millimetres max apparently!?

How the fuck despite being an Ancient Zoan, have a spider half with it's own sentient face that is indepdent to her and she is able to create illusions despite not having some kind of weapon/item related to it nor being a Mythical Zoan or Paramecia? What the actual fuck Oda?

He's probably not going to explain it either especially in the manga, it seems too late for that now. Has he fucked up this badly? He was meant to make her some kind of giant human smile eater? Why just not just make her a Jorogumo Mythical Zoan? So much easier, simpler and more appropiate and hype? Sigh...

At this point, it's like, why even bother trying to analyse and understand OP? Oda clearly doesn't seem to know what he is doing or and just doesn't care. He's just doing what he likes and he might be self aware/doing it intentionally because he really doesn't care? Just wants to whatever he likes?

Even her weapon doesn't make sense to me but it's a very unique take on the Wanyudo but also disappointing imo. How is it even on fire too? Friction from spinning so much? It kinda reminds me of how Sanji initially used Diable Jambe ironically.



:queenmeme:
Black Maria probably got one of the better smile fruits,some smile users get to have full control of their abilities and can hide their zoan forms in base!

I think BB will go after Pudding!CP0 could also go after Momonosuke!BMP could show up in Onigashima thanks to Perospero,either with a mirror(brulee) or that Book that can trap people!
Yeah, I've been on board for the idea of BB attacking WCI and stealing Pudding too. Would definitely make sense. CP0 going after Momo would make a lot of sense definitely too.

Yeah I'm really hoping somehow Brulee or Mont D'Or pull some clutch move and get them into Wano already finally, especially at Onigashima itself. Big Mom could probably fly down on Hhera or Prometheus and pick up the ship and fly it into Wano with her strength lmao.

Smoothie really needs to make herself more useful too somehow. The BMP need a massive comeback as well.

A Brook vs a worn-down WsW would be great
Would be a massive diss-up for Brook if he only fights some fodder gifters and a Number who Franky could 1 shot

Zeo didn’t use a sword either. This is Brook’s opportunity to protect Robin from a CP9 agent, like the rest of the crew got to do at Enies Lobby. Brook has done nothing in this arc
 
Full summary, thanks to redon from Arlong Park Forums.

Chapter 1,021: "Demonio".

In the cover, Franky and Señor Pink are crying in a bar with a leopard bartender (that is crying too) while have a drink.

Chapter starts with the battle between Robin and Black Maria, at the point where we left off in the previous chapter. Black Maria comments Robin that her giant form must have consumed lots of energy, Robin says not to worry because this battle will be over soon.

Robin uses a new attack called “Sea Serpent” (Sea Dragon Flower - 海竜花) sending her giant arms slithering like snakes to grab Black Maria's legs. However, Black Maria uses the spiky tip of her weapon to attack Robin's arm. Black Maria then realizes that the damage will hit Robin's main body as well, so she keeps damaging the giant arms to damage Robin.

Black Maria uses the tips of her legs, which have poison needles, to injure the giant arms as well, so Robin has no choice but to retract his arms back to avoid them. At that moment, Black Maria uses a new attack called “Maria Net” (マリア ネット) to launch her spider webs and grabs Robin's giant arms. She then uses another new attack called “Oshizumaria” (Binding Maria - お静マリア) to cross the main arms of Robin's giant body and render her body defenseless.

Black Maria puts on her metal knuckles and starts punching the giant Robin's face with her attack “Oiran Knuckle” (花魁 ナックル). The hits affect the original Robin, who in the end, has to vanish the giant Robin. Then Robin creates 4 giant arms behind Black Maria and tries to grab her but Black Maria uses her technique “Ikitomaria” (Dead End Maria - 行き止マリア) to create a wall of spider webs and block Robin's attack.

Next, Black Maria asks her spider to burn the spider webs that she has created in the area. The spider spits fire from its mouth with the technique “Atatamaria” (Flaming Maria - 炎上マリア) and sets the webs on fire, creating a flame wall in the area. Black Maria mocks Robin.

Black Maria: "I think you should try and bloom somethng in this place,
although I think no flower can bloom in the middle of the sea of flames ♥"


As she talks, Black Maria creates spider webs behind Robin, which she sticks to.

Black Maria: "In the end, you couldn't finish this fight quickly as you said ...
You had come to cover Black Leg's failure, and now that you have lost,
you both will just look stupid!! Ufufufufu ♥
Why don't you tell the skeleton to put out the fire again!?"


Brook, who was listening the conversation, answers quickly.

Brook: "What a stupid thing to say, Black Maria-san.
If I were you, I would get away from there as soon as possible...!!
Yohohoho."


Black Maria continues to punch Robin's real body, who is still caught in the net.

Black Maria: "You are merely a tool, Nico Robin!!
Your brain is the only thing valuable you have!!
So you don't need your arms or your legs...
not even your personality!!"


A small flashback begins in which Nico Robin thinks back to the time she was with the Revolutionary Army. Koala and Sabo want to teach her how to fight since they won't be able to protect her after she leaves. Koala offers to teach her the “Gyojin Karate” while Sabo offers to teach her the “Ryuusouken” (Dragon's Claw Fist). Hack arrives and says Koala and Sabo to leave Robin alone since her joint lock is strong enough and she doesn't need protection.

Robin then tells Koala and Sabo that she might want to learn abit about how to use her "palms". Koala and Sabo happily agree to teach her. Robin thinks back to a few times she used her "palms" after timeskip (like when she used her “Gigantesco Mano” on the bottom of the sea to prevent the Sunny from crashing into some rocks) and thinks about how the lessons have been useful. Sabo taught her to look through the “core” of her target and Koala taught her “Gyojin Karate” secret move.

Robin regains her strength and uses a new attack called “Mil Fleur Gyojin Karate: Giganteum” (千紫万紅 魚人空手: 花葱) sending her giant palm to hit the ceiling and creating a shockwave (like “Gyojin Karate” punch) to destroy the entire ceiling. The rubbles that fall down put out the fire and destroy Black Maria's web.

Robin then uses a new technique called “Demonio Fleur” (悪魔咲き) transforming her giant body into a black demon with bat wings, horns and fangs (maybe her body is black because she uses Color of Arms Haki?). Black Maria is shocked and screams.

Black Maria: "Demon!?"

Robin: "I have no problem with becoming a demon.
Since there are people who make me feel needed...!!
And people who willingly rely on me for help!!"


As she speaks, Robin creates more arms around Black Maria to grab her.

Robin: "You said arms and legs aren't needed, right?
“Gran Jacuzzi Clutch” (大渦潮 クラッチ)!!!"


Black Maria: "Aaaaaaaaaah!!!"

In an impressive double page, Nico Robin in her giant demon form clutches Black Maria's body until she is KO'd and bleeding from her mouth. Hearing the screams, Black Maria's subordinates try to see what happens but Brook's created an ice wall so that they cannot pass to the other area of the room. In a small hole in the wall, they see Black Maria unconscious on the ground and Robin's demon form.

Black Maria's subordinates: "Demon!?"

The ice wall begins to break apart, but before Black Maria's subordinates can go to help her, Brook steps in front of them. In another great double page, Brook uses a new attack called “Phrase D'armes Orchestra” (フラーズ ダルム 管弦楽) with which he attacks them with an icy cut in the shape of a G-clef, to defeat them.

Brook grabs Robin, who is injured, while a bird Mary is watching them...

Cut to Tokage Port in Wanokuni. Luffy is eating a month's supply that Caribou stored in his body. The Heart Pirates try to ask Luffy about the situation in Onigashima but Luffy is answering while he's eating, so they don't understand anyting.

Shinobu and Momonosuke have left the group for a moment to talk. Momonosuke is asking Shinobu to do something for him.

Shinobu: "I can't do that!!
If I do it you know there's no reverting back, right?
And your body may change but your heart will remain a child!!!"


Momonosuke: That's OK for me, as long as I have a chance of becoming a bigger dragon!!
Shinobu, please use your “Juku Juku no Jutsu” to turn me into an adult!!!"


End of chapter. Break next week becouse Weekly Shonen Jump magazine will be on holidays (no Jump chapters next week).

SEEEEE!!!! THIS IS WHAT I MEANT!

You can very CLEARLY tell that the fight with Black Maria is over. Robin won, Brook also won. Robin needs help moving after. They both claim victory and there is an actual AFTERMATH to the fight. Black Maria is unconscious, her subordinates notice and see her unconscious on the floor before being defeated.

This is VERY different from Franky and Jinbe's fights. This is what I'm talking about. I personally would not be surprised if Oda went back to Sasaki and Who's Who and do something with them in the next 2-3 chapters. They did not receive definitive conclusions because no aftermath was shown to those battles, they are transitioned from immediately. And I can understand if they are done, im just pointing out that Franky vs Sasaki and Jinbe vs WsW have vastly different conclusions to how their fights "ended", page count, new attacks, etc.

Bravo Robin, reading this sounded awesome and actually felt like the first real, conclusive fight this arc. Here's to hoping Nami, Usopp, Jinbe, Franky, Brook and Chopper get more within the context of their own issues. We know the monster trio will at least, but I'm just hoping Oda gives more to the rest of the crew, starting with giving a bit more to Franky and Jinbe
