Devil Child

Inside the castle's third floor banquet hall, a woman with a heart-shaped speech bubble declares, "...I'LL HAVE TO ELIMINATE THOSE SAMURAI!♥" while another voice reacts, "わああああ" and "LOOKS LIKE..." Black Maria, seated on a large creature, commands, "BLACK LEG, BE A DEAR AND CALL NICO ROBIN NOW." A subordinate responds, "YES!" Nearby figures ask, "ARE WE READY FOR AN ISLAND WIDE TRANSMISSIONI" and identify "CAIMAN LADY..." Black Maria continues planning: "THE WEBS WILL RESTRICT HER MOVEMENT... SHE'LL BE ENSNARED THE MOMENT SHE SETS FOOT IN HERE! I'VE SPUN SEVERAL LAYERS OF 'HARD GUM' WEB AT THE ENTRANCE AND ON THE FLOOR... ALLOWING MY SUBORDINATES TO RIDDLE HER WITH TRANQUILIZERS!! AFTER THAT...♥" A note clarifies "T/N: TYPE OF CROCODILE."

In a chaotic sequence, a spiky-haired man with wide eyes grits his teeth in fury. Close-ups show hands gripping and sliding. Black Maria lunges forward through shattering structures, webs, and debris, shouting, "YOU JUST HAVE TO CALL HER!! SO GET IT OVER WITH!!" She extends her hand with a determined expression while the spiky-haired man recoils violently, blood splattering as structures stretch and break around them. Impact lines and motion effects emphasize the intense struggle.

A massive impact rocks the scene as a horned woman in ornate clothing slams a chained figure downward. She shouts, "I HAVE SOMEWHERE ELSE TO BE!!" and "BEG HER TO COME AND RESCUE YOU QUICKLY!!" The chained man, Sanji, grits his teeth in pain. Below, a dark-haired woman clutches her face in distress while a small girl watches; one voice cries, "MEANS ENDANGERING HIS FRIENDS!!" Another adds, "HE'D RATHER DIE, IF ASKING FOR HELP..." Sanji, bloodied, thinks, "I CAN'T HOLD IN MY TEARS ANYMORE... THIS MAN!!" A close-up shows him taking a brutal hit. In the lower panels, Sanji yells "STOP!!" as the horned woman swings him violently into the floor with a resounding "DOON!!" and "ST-". He gasps, "HUFF... HUFF..." amid the chaos.

The horned woman looms over the battered Sanji. Voices warn, "ENOUGH ALREADY, IF YOU KEEP ANGERING BIG SIS," "HE'S NEVER GOING TO GIVE IN," "HE'S SO DEFIANT... HE WILL PROBABLY TELL HER TO 'GO TO HELL' OR SOMETHING," and "IF YOU KEEP HITTING ME...I HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET A WORD IN..." Sanji struggles, thinking "YOU WILL REALLY DIE..." In a massive close-up, Sanji screams desperately, "SAVE ME!! ROBIN-CHAAN!!" with a huge "KII!!" sound effect. Nearby, a blonde woman watches in shock. The horned woman continues her assault as a dragon-like creature appears, prompting cries of "HE GAVE IN SO EASILYI!" and "WHAAA AAAAA AAAAATI!"

Inside the chaotic castle, figures race through corridors. A voice reports, "IN THE LARGE BANQUET HALL!!" and "WE'RE ON THE THIRD FLOOR!!" A skull-masked woman glances aside. Below, a massive brawl erupts with a dragon and fighters; someone yells "SORRY!!" while another shouts, "I'M BEING HELD HOSTAGE!!" The fight spills across the floor. In the lower section, Beast Pirates react in shock: "ONE OF THE STRAW HATS...!I" "HOW PATHETIC!!" and "...SANJI!!" as they spot the ongoing struggle.

Explosions and smoke fill the air as a flying creature carries a figure. Sanji pleads, "PLEASE SAVE ME!!" while a voice warns, "I'M GOING TO BE KILLED!! IF YOU DON'T COME, ROBIN-CHAN," and "THEY MUST BE TARGETING HER!!" Another states, "NICO ROBIN HAS INFORMATION THE WHOLE WORLD WANTS." A massive horned man roars, "IS HE AWARE THAT THE WHOLE ISLAND IS RECEIVING THIS TRANSMISSIONI!" In the final panel, the horned woman laughs wildly, "WHAT KIND OF MAN DOES THISI! GAHAHAHA!! THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A TRAP!!" as the transmission device labeled "FR-U" broadcasts the scene.

A massive spider-like creature looms as Sanji's voice echoes from within it. Nami stares in shock while someone yells, "HAHA.... WHAT A LIVELY BUNCH-YOI!!" Another voice cries, "I SAW IT EARLIER TOO! WHAT IS THAT EYEI!" and "HEY, NAMI! SANJI'S VOICE IS COMING OUT OF THAT THING!" Nami replies tensely, "SERIOUSLYI HE MUST BE UP AGAINST A WOMAN..." Below, the creature struggles in webs as a bound figure shouts, "HUFF... HUFF... HURRY UP AND GET ME OUT OF THESE WEBS! I CALLED HER, DIDN'T II!" The spider beast roars "UFUFU, I'M SURPRISED!" while a captive screams "AAAAAAGGH!!" amid crashing debris and impact sounds.

Black Maria looms over the bound Sanji, teasing, "WEREN'T YOU JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU ADORED MEI THIS ISN'T BUSINESS ANYMORE, IT'S PERSONAL~♡" Sanji shouts back, "WHAT!I ANYWAY, I WASN'T REALLY GOING TO LET YOU LEAVE." She counters smoothly, "...THAT WAS FAST. BIG SIS! SOMEONE'S COMING!!" Sanji struggles, yelling "NO, I LOVE THEM ALL!! ALL THE LADIES OF THE WORLD!!" as Black Maria purrs, "WE ONLY LOVE BLACK MARIA-SAMA... THEY CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ME~♡" and "I WANT YOU TO BE MY PET..." Sanji groans in pain. She warns, "IF THERE'S A CHANCE I COULD HURT YOU!" while he begins an attack, "GIGAN-TESCO MANO..." She snaps, "WAIT! MY ARMAMENT HAKI WON'T WORK... CHEATING ISN'T SOMETHING I CAN JUST FORGIVE. YOU NEED TO BE DISCIPLINED!!"

Robin stands tall in her kimono, declaring, "I'VE SPENT HALF OF MY LIFE IN UNSAVORY ORGANIZATIONS SO, NATURALLY, SEEING MY FRIENDS MYSTREATED... BRINGS OUT THE DEVIL IN ME!!" Sanji cries out desperately, "ROBIN-CHAN!!!" Black Maria's massive hand swings down with "SPANK!!" as Robin yells "KYAA AAA!!" In close-up Robin's eye glares while she activates her power. Black Maria questions, "YOU MAY HAVE LURED ME HERE... BUT DID YOU REALLY THINK CATCHING A WOMAN LIKE ME WOULD BE THAT SIMPLEI HOW DARE YOU! MY FACE..." Her expression shifts to alarm as she realizes, "MY BODY CAN 'BLOOM' ANYWHERE... HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE!I" and "BLACK MARIA-SAMA!!"

Brook leaps into action with his cane, striking with freezing power and shouting, "...WITH THE UNDERWORLD'S CHILL!! YOHOHOHO!!" He tells the captive, "PARDON ME, BUT I ALREADY CUT YOU FREE..." as debris flies and someone yells "WHOA!!" Below, beast pirates react in confusion. One shouts, "BIG SIS, ALL THE SPIDER WEBS ARE BREAKING APART FROM THE FROST!!" Brook notices, "HMI" while the enemies panic, "LIKE YOU'RE ONE TO TALK!! AAAAAH! MONSTERS!" Brook replies calmly, "SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A GOOD MATCHUP FOR ME! YOHOHO!"

Black Maria looms over the scene with a fierce glare, shouting, "STOP, BLACK LEG!! I WON'T LET YOU ESCAPE!!" A voice replies, "WE GUESSED AS MUCH!" Sanji, battered and breathing heavily, declares, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS... BUT I DON'T THINK I STAND A CHANCE HERE!! THANKS!! I'M GOING TO HEAD TO WHERE KIN'EMON AND THE OTHERS ARE!! HUFF... HUFF..." In a flash of motion Sanji speeds away as a voice calls "SANJI!" He answers "YESI" A kimono-clad woman with a spider-like lower body blocks his path, warning "ARE THOSE ITI YOUR LAST WORDS." Sanji crashes through an icy floor amid hearts and impact lines while the woman smiles seductively, saying "CAREFUL, IT'S ICY OVER THERE. THANKS FOR COUNTING ON ME. YOU'VE MADE MY DAY!"

A mouse-like cyborg notes, "I SEE, SO THAT WAS ONE OF LUFFY'S FRIENDS." Nearby, a small figure exclaims, "SANGORO'S VOICE WAS COMING OUT OF THIS MOUSE!!" A sign reads "FORBIDDEN STOREROOM SKULL DOME." Yamato and companions react with shock as dialogue explains, "EVERYTHING THEY SEE IS SEEN BY THEIR HUMAN COUNTERPARTS!! THEY USUALLY WANDER AIMLESSLY AROUND THE ISLAND... THIS IS ONE OF THEIR CYBORGS!! MY FATHER'S ARMY HAS A SCOUTING UNIT CALLED THE 'MARYS'." Yamato shouts, "LET'S GET OUT OF HERE, YAMATO!! WE HAVE TO KEEP MOMONOSUKE-SAMA OUT OF SIGHT!! THEY MUST'VE SEEN US!! THIS PLACE ISN'T SAFE ANYMORE!! NOBODY EVER ENTERS THIS CURSED ROOM... HEY, ARE YOU SURE THEY'RE IN THIS STOREROOM WHOA!! THERE'S SO MANY OF THEM!!"

A heavy door creaks open with "CREAK!!" Yamato tells Momonosuke, "SORRY, MOMONOSUKE-KUN! BUT YOU HAVE TO HIDE UNDER MY CLOTHES!!" The group prepares to break down another door as someone yells, "LET'S BREAK THE DOOR DOWN!! THE 'SHOGUN' IS IN THERE!!" A massive impact follows with "LET'S GO, SHINOBU-SAN!!" Shinobu and Yamato smash through enemies while a voice cries, "THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE IF WE KNOCK THEM OUT!! I THINK YOU TOOK ME TOO LITERALLY!!" Defeated foes scream "AAAAAA AAGGGGH HHHH!!" amid flying debris and impact effects.

Black Maria declares, "I WILL FINISH OFF THE SAMURAI MYSELF!!" as chaos erupts inside the castle. A massive dragon-like beast rampages, roaring "WOOO!!" while allies shout warnings. Text notes the location: "CASTLE INTERIOR, THIRD FLOOR." The beast warns, "EVEN IF THEY'RE AT DEATH'S DOOR, THE RED SCABBARDS SHOULDN'T BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. THE FLYING SIX CAN'T HANDLE THEM!!" Jack and others are sent flying amid screams of "AAAAAAAA GGGGGH!!" A close-up shows a stern face telling Jack, "YOU'RE SEVERELY UNDERESTIMATING ME, JACK. DON'T YOU DARE LIFT A FINGER...! GOT ITI!"

A towering figure with horns and a massive weapon stands with her back to the viewer, her tattooed skin visible as she declares, "BUT I'LL LET IT SLIDE, SINCE YOU'RE ACTUALLY MAKING THINGS MORE CONVENIENT." Smoke and debris swirl around the scene while a smaller figure watches from below. "THINGS WORKED OUT PERFECTLY," another voice notes. In close-up, the horned woman leans in with a menacing smile, stating "YOU BELONG TO KAIDO-SAMA ♥" as bold lettering emphasizes "FROM THIS MOMENT ONWARDS..." and "NOW, NICO ROBIN..." with dramatic sound effects. The panel cuts to Nico Robin's determined face as she replies coolly, "NO THANKS. I'D RATHER DIE!!" A skull-masked figure looms nearby with the caption "THE BOLD VS. THE FEARLESS!!!" The page ends with the One Piece logo and "CH.1005 /END".
