9:33 on the ship, Is This the Answer to the Mystery?

In the emptied center of a dimly lit room stored in the back of the small beaten ship, under the poorly swabbed and scratched deck, sat Nami, dressed in only a loosened towel hanging off of her back, intensely staring below her silently except for her occasional grunts and panting as time passed. With all the strength she could muster, Nami was trying, and barely succeeding, to pin down her drastically convulsing consular for the past 10 minutes before she could not take it anymore. Fear and anxiety built in her as her tears started to swell and her heart pounded heavily against her fragile feeling chest. Panicked she called for the others with what little concentration she could spare, "Robin! Everybody come quick! Help! Somebody!"

"Luffy!" She paused in between each meaningful word for a new breath before continuing.

"Chopper!"

"Zoro!"

"Sanji!"

"Usopp!"

"Somebody!" She screeched her dry broken voice dying with each presses syllable.

"Robin is… Robin is… Something's wrong!" She struggled to explain to the passing wind, as it was the only one who could hear her lost, desperate plead now.

Without being able to voice her opinions, her silent tears pooled on Robin's jerking collar bone as she watcher her roommate horridly mystified for the next 30 minutes give or take. Robin started to relax by then, her arms and legs stilling, breath stabilizing, and her gorgeous blue eyes focusing on the mess of a girl pressed on her torso.

Blinking a few times to adjust to her new found consciousness Robin felt her heavy arms and legs being released as she flexed them out of instinct. Not knowing what had happened or how this situation came to be Robin resorted to voicing her concerns, "Ung.." She moaned, every part of her body throbbing in pain as she sat up to speak, "Nami? What just happened?"

The younger girl dried her tears before she began to speak, 'Sniffle, Robin, are you okay? You wouldn't stop shaking and you wouldn't answer me. It was a bit scary." Nami tried to force a smile at the end but it effortlessly contorted into an emotionless frown that matches her far-off-into-the-distance-looking-at-nothing gaze she gave to their baby blue, over packed bookshelf.

"I'm fine, more or less." Robin stated as if it were a small matter. What she was really worried about was the state Nami was in. 'It seems like the same thing that happened earlier happened again. Am I having 'episodes' of something? I'm sure it's just temporary though since it was caused by that candy which will fade away sooner or later. Nami's condition seems to have been induced by the candy as well, but how is it affecting her? It doesn't seem to put her in a drunken state because her emotional display is reversed… It could have caused, based of the veritably of effects I've seen on the ship, her to exponentially expressing her true hidden emotions, cause her to have intense negative mood swings, or lower her moral and heighten her insecurities. The more I can get her to talk, the more I can deduce of the situation. She could become permanently emotionally scarred from the escaladed negativity entwining its grasp through her brain cells and change her permanently.' Robin, with a straight face, proved her ability to predict the most ominous of the results from this predicament. 'Earlier she was talking about Luffy's crew, Maybe I can get some information from that…'

"Nami…?" Robin uttered in an attempt to get Nami's attention. When she sees twin brown dull and dilated orbs shift to meet their captor she starts again, "What were you trying to say about your nakama earlier?"

A certain vibrancy returned to the watched brown orbs upon hearing the topic brought up. As well as catching her interest, Robin also made Nami remember her outburst earlier and how stupendously over the top she made it. Feeling embarrassed about her act of immaturity she blushes slightly. Having a more difficult time coming up with a response now that she is rose-cheeked her lips gesture silently ahead of her thoughts.

Embarrassed farther by her silence she blurts out the first thing she can think of, "Allofthoseidiotsneverthinkof anythingexceptforthemselvese speciallythatidiotSanji! Opp!" She clapped her hands in front of her mouth wide eyed she waits for the mercy of her opponent.

"Hmhmhm!" Robin giggled her light giggle at the expressive Nami, "Is it Sanji that is bothering you so much?"

"No!" Nami immediately retorted, then after a moment of being mentally worn away by Robin's 'piercing smile', at least it was to her, she changed her story, "Y-Yes… I guess."

"What is wrong with him?" Robin was happy to see Nami looking better, but that look in her eye, as if she has 'no attachment to this sickening and dying world', still overcast the vibrancy of life in her eyes.

"He's just… Sanji… I think he is too scared to fully commit to the crew and Luffy like you, me, Zoro, and Chopper are. It feels like he could just get up and go, without any warning… Especially if some kind of 'whore pirates' came along… Like if we ever met the Famous Kuja Pirate warriors Sanji would definitely leave us and try to be with them, and they might let him join at least for a little bit since its Sanji."

'So then she likes Sanji and feels that he doesn't like her even though it is obvious that he does. I wonder what it is like to be in an innocent love with a good man like Sanji, though he is a flirt… Nami's a good girl; she shouldn't feel so scared to trust people. I have the main idea of what she had to go through as a child and I know first hand how jaded that kind of trauma can make you, but she's not that way at all. She is a very forgiving and tolerant girl, unless it comes to money, but other then that she shouldn't have to feel left out or played with by her crush. I've never 'liked' anyone before, but I do deeply admire some people, the people on this ship especially. So they should be able to continue their marry journey free of such complex ties.' Robin thought, remembering how hollow she had once been and comparing it to the lively energy of her crew. This wasn't just the candy, it was Nami, and Nami was to good for all this. So Robin decided to change it.

"It's okay Nami. Sanji won't ever leave as long as you're still his nakama. Through all the harsh adventures to come, even if we all get separated and it seems as though we won't have a reunion, we will. With all of our strength we will run back home, where our family is waiting. This ship Nami, the 'Going Merry', will always symbolize our bond as a family who will sail across the world together, even if the fates come to break our bond we will always return to our home, here on Merry."

"Wow… That was something Robin. We should record that some how and play it to whom ever, at any point, begins to think that our crew is falling apart and leaves, for whatever reason…" Nami praises Robin who thought nothing of the sensual wisdom she just bestowed on the ominous girl, bringing a warm sense of peace for the first time tonight.

With a smile barely visible yet considered large for the reserved blue eyed girl, she watched one of her most loved people wisp away to a deep sleep. It didn't matter how much she had to go through to get here, she was here now. How many times her trust was broken by murderous affiliation before she learned to betray others herself because there was no such darkness even allowed to loom over this wonderful ship. To spoil themselves with such lavishing emotions was certainly only a privilege on few pirate ships, and to see her beloved nakama able to indulge in them brought a sense of belonging to her paranoid heart.

Robin helps Nami get changed into pajamas and tucks her in before going over to a pile of books that, resembled more of a small wall since it consisted of tightly packed columns, were in the corner of the room. Sitting down in font of the pile she organizes all of the information she already had to compare to her soon to be reference material.

Recalling back when Luffy handed them out, she stated how many each person ate,
Luffy: 3 (That she could see at least)
Usopp: 3 (Then Luffy closed the box on his hand saying he was being greedy)
Copper: 2 (Saw what happened to Usopp and didn't want to risk it)
Zoro: 2 (One in the initial hand out, and then one with his sake immediately following)
Sanji: 2 (He couldn't get an exact flavor profile on the first one so he studied a second)
Nami: 1 (She wasn't one for gobstoppers, but decided to finish the one she had since it was so good)
Robin: 1 (Didn't even expose the core because of the swelling sense of danger it caused her to heed)

According to what she saw in the beginning the effects seemed to be categorized like so:
Luffy:-mental- seemed to be unable to stop talking
Usopp:-physical- unable to move muscles of his limbs
Chopper:-mental- deep sleep
Zoro:-physical- extremely uncomfortable to touch
Sanji:-mental- visual and audio illusions
Nami:-mental- constant dejectedness and little to no interest in almost everything
Robin:-physical- 'episodes' of dizzy spells and fevers followed by involuntary muscle spasms

With all this mentally jotted down she began her search...

In front of her was known as the extra pile, since it didn't fit in the bookshelf. It also helped to 'bury' Nami's treasure so no one would take it. This was Robin's first stop for information regarding the 'Mystery Candy'.

After reading each title and trying to recall what knowledge that specific book stored, she finally found the one she thought she was looking for. It, of course, had to be at the bottom of the tallest stack though. Upon retrieving the book she stared at the cover which read 'Known Devil Fruits Powers and possessors: 1477' Realizing this book was written exactly 45 years ago she was wary as to trust it's usefulness. Never the less she opens the aged book skillfully and skims through the table of contents. Surprisingly she found what she needed towards the bottom of the page. Flipping to the page she began to read, all her evidence slid into place as she read.

The Chapter started with an intricate penmanship spelling out, 'Sick-Sick no Mi: 1465 - present'
