[ This weirdly sounds like something from Doriene or at least could fit in there well given what Dolly had experienced while existing there for six month before landing in the Bay. So a Skeleton man, a hyper intelligent reindeer, a rubber man, and someone who can sprout parts of her body to multiple places... ]

There's the name, Devil Fruit, does that mean there's a price to pay upon eating them? I'm a fan of the Faustian style tragedies and it sounds like something from one of them.

You lose your ability to swim, and become immobilized in seawater. The sea hates and rejects Devil Fruit users.

[Robin explains this as though that is a difficult bargain, which in a world of ocean dotted with islands it absolutely is.]

Some also see Devil Fruit users as monsters.

[ That is most definitely a Faustian bargain as Dolly digests this information. To be from a world where it's mostly water too... ]

That's awful, I'm sorry you and your crewmates had to deal with that. It had to be hard to sail not being able to swim..

[ Dolly decided to wait a bit and see if Sanji would show up while she chats with Robin. It was still surprising he hasn't arrived just yet. ]

It's been a long time since I've known anything else, I've had my powers since I was a child.

[It's probably the only thing that kept her alive as she fled from place to place, avoiding those who would try to turn her in for her bounty. It kept her alive long enough for her to find a reason to do so. Robin looks towards the door.]

Do you know if Sanji is away on a mission?

[autumnrainrunaway]

I honestly don't know...maybe I can reach him on the grumpearl? I haven't used it a lot since January, but it's worth a shot.

[ Dolly goes to get her grumpearl out with the ribbon feeler, the gingerbread house shaped bag relenting and releasing the dread pearl. Holding the pearl in the ribbon feelers, Dolly goes to attempt a connection, but... ]

That's odd, I'm not reaching Sanji. Maybe he's staying off it still due to the dream incident?

[voidcentury]

[Something is Wrong.

Wordlessly, Robin's shadowy hands rip out of the sarcophagus, through the bandages, as she pushes herself up off the bed. She tries to hover, but settles for crawling on her back like a horror movie monster as she tries to make a break for the door.]

[autumnrainrunaway]

[ OH SWEET MAC LIR!!! ]

Hey you shouldn't be moving around like that! You'll injure yourself further!

[ Dolly was insanely small as she goes to attempt to convince Robin to get back into bed... ]

[voidcentury]

Cuerpo Fleur!

[The room is suddenly full of Robins appearing from each other as she uses Double Team to cover her escape from the clinic. The real Robin manages to make it to the door in the chaos, and is about to escape into Bottlecap Bay.]

[autumnrainrunaway]

[ ..... ]

[ Sweet Stellar Sea there's MORE Robins now! Dolly definitely was indeed going to need some assistance! ]

Robin!

[ Yeah...this is not going the way Dolly was hoping for....This Tinyeon has no clue what to do about the Double Team at all... ]

[voidcentury]

[The extra Robins fade, and the door swings shut as the real Robin makes her way out of the clinic and towards The Spire.]

[autumnrainrunaway]

[ Oh Nurse Chansey isn't going to be happy with this news...Dolly wished she could teleport like she used to beforehand, but alas, that's not the case here. Next best thing Dolly could do was alert the Chanseys and let them take care of it from there. ]

[ Deep breath in...Deep breath out...it'll be fine...just fine.. ]

[ No it won't... ]
