Black Maria stopped, looking down at Robin with a mocking smile, like a cat playing with a mouse.

Once? Twice?

She tilted her head, and the spider's eight legs began to rhythmically tap the ground, making a clattering sound, as if playing a prelude to an execution.

"Or are you saying you can't even use it once anymore?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she opened her mouth and spat out another spider web.

This time, the spider web was larger than before, covering an area of ​​nearly a hundred meters in radius, and it blanketed Robin from all sides.

The spiderweb spread out in the air like a giant canopy, blocking out the morning light and casting a huge shadow on the ground.

Robin looked up at the spider web falling toward her, a resolute glint in her eyes.

She didn't dodge.

Because she knew she couldn't avoid it.

The spider web was so big that it covered the entire block, and no matter which direction she ran, she couldn't escape its reach.

But she didn't give up.

She crossed her arms in front of her chest and activated her power.

"Thirty-Flower Barrier!"

Thirty arms grew from the buildings around her, grasping pieces of rubble, wooden beams, and pieces of sheet metal, gathering them together to form a temporary barrier above her head.

The spider web landed on the barrier.

The extremely sticky spider silk clung to the pebbles and wooden beams, binding them together firmly to form a giant cocoon.

Robin is safe now, hiding under the cocoon.

But then Black Maria's laughter rang out.

"You think you can stop me like this?"

With all eight legs exerting force simultaneously, the enormous spider body leaped into the air, covering a distance of more than ten meters, and landed on the cocoon.

The weight of the spider's body made the cocoon creak and groan, and pebbles fell from the cracks, hitting Robin's shoulder.

Robin gritted his teeth, supporting the cocoon to prevent himself from being crushed.

But her strength is waning.

“I’ve said it before, these little tricks won’t work on me.”

Black Maria's spider legs began to pierce the top of the cocoon, one after another like spears stabbing down from above, piercing through the gravel and wooden beams, heading straight for Robin's head.

Robin had to release her powers and roll backward.

The cocoon collapsed with a crash after losing its support, and the rubble and spider webs mixed together, forming a small mountain.

Black Maria emerged from the ruins, her eight legs crunching on the rubble.

She was covered in dust, but her smile remained radiant.

"Run! Keep running!"

Her voice was very gentle, as gentle as if she were coaxing a child.

But her eyes were cold, as if she were looking at a corpse.

"I love watching the prey escape, that desperate expression, that struggling posture, it's really delightful."

Robin stood up from the ground and dusted himself off.

Her clothes were torn, her hair was disheveled, and her face was covered in mud; she looked utterly wretched.

But her eyes remained calm.

"Are you finished speaking?"

Her voice was very soft, so soft it was as if she were talking to herself.

Black Maria's smile froze for a moment.

"what?"

"Have you finished speaking?"

Robin looked up at Black Maria, a smile curving her lips.

That was a smile.

A very faint smile, so faint it's almost invisible.

But that smile stirred a sense of unease in Black Maria's heart.

"If you're finished speaking, then it's my turn."

Robin crossed her arms over her chest again, her eyes closed, as if sensing something.

Black Maria's intuition told her that this woman was preparing something dangerous.

She couldn't let her finish.

With all eight legs exerting force simultaneously, Black Maria charged towards Robin.

It is faster and stronger than before.

The spider legs resembled eight spears, stabbing towards Robin's body. Each one was covered in black Armament Haki, and each one carried a deadly killing intent.

But Robin did not dodge.

Her eyes opened.

"Forty-Flower Wheel - Binding!"

Forty arms simultaneously grew from the body of Black Maria.

Those arms grabbed her eight legs, her spider body, her upper body, her neck, and her head.

Each arm gripped tightly, like iron clamps, firmly holding Black Maria's body in place.

Black Maria's body suddenly stopped.

Its eight legs were frozen in mid-air, unable to move.

"you--"

She didn't finish her sentence because an arm covered her mouth.

"Fifty-Ring Flower - Joint Technique!"

More arms grew from Black Mary's eight legs at the same time.

Each leg has six arms, three facing left and three facing right, like two giant wrenches clamping the spider's leg joints.

They infused themselves with Armament Haki, and then exerted force simultaneously.

Click.

The joint of the first spider leg was broken.

Black Maria's screams echoed throughout the battlefield.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The sound was sharp, like metal scraping against glass, so piercing it sent chills down your spine.

But Robin didn't stop.

Click.

The joint of the second spider leg was broken.

Click, click, click.

One after another, the spider's legs broke at the joints, the sound of bones shattering echoing in the air like a death symphony.

The screams of Black Maria grew increasingly shrill, tears and snot streaming down her face. The smile on her face had vanished, replaced by a twisted expression of pain and terror.

"Stop! Stop! Please stop!"

Her voice had changed, from its previous gentle and charming tone to a sharp and piercing wail.

But Robin did not stop.

Her eyes remained calm, as calm as a stagnant pool.

This calm is more terrifying than any anger.

"You've been in Wano Country for so many years, how many people have you killed?"

Robin's voice was very soft, as if he were asking about today's weather.

"When you were killing those people, did they beg you to stop?"

Black Maria's pupils contracted sharply.

"Did you stop?"

Robin's question was like a knife piercing Black Maria's heart.

She did not answer.

Because she couldn't answer.

She has killed many people.

very many.

Some did it because of Kaido's orders, some because she wanted to kill, and some because she thought it was fun.

She remembered how those people begged for mercy, how they cried, and how they looked in despair.

She never stopped.

Not even once.

"It seems you don't."

Robin's lips curved into a smile, but there was no warmth in that smile.

"Me too."
