Chopper walked towards Robin and asked her to sit down. She obeyed, trying to make up her mind. Chopper started with routine questions first.
-How do you feel?- asked the reindeer.
-If you say fine, Robin, I'm gonna kill you- replied Nami, before she was able to say anything.
Nami was with her eyes closed, evading the eye contact with her friend. However, right now it wasn't for fear. Nami thought that, since Robin hates to show herself vulnerable, it was better to at least give her the privacy of not looking at her while she talked. Zoro was standing in the opposite wall, also with his eyes closed.
-Tired and a bit dizzy- Robin answered.
-How many fingers do you see?- Chopper was still in his hybrid form, so Robin couldn't help but chuckle.
-Two, but they are hooves more than fingers actually- she said with a small smile on her face.
-When was the last time you eat?
-More than a day ago. Probably a day and a half- That answer surprised them a bit. They thought that Robin has at least ate something before all the CP9 invasion at Iceburg's mansion.
-Why hadn't you eaten, Robin? That's not healthy at all- Chopper said, with a sad look on his face. Nami and Zoro opened their eyes to see the poor reindeer.
-I'm sorry Doctor-san. I didn't mean to worry you. Between the headache, the nausea, and the teeth sensibility, it had been impossible for me to eat my dinner- She tried to say all of this in a casual manner.
-Headache? -said Nami.
-Teeth sensibility?- asked Zoro.
-I think Doctor-san is the one who asks the questions here- Robin replied- He is the specialist, you know- she said with a (not) innocent face.
-I'm not gonna be happy if you compliment me, you asshole!- he said, wiggling.
-Oi, oi, Chopper, please focus- Zoro asked the reindeer.
-Oh! I'm sorry- when he was back to his 'professional self' he continued with the general questions- and the last time you got full sleep?
-Just before or just after me and Luffy were frozen by Aokiji- Robin thought for a moment before adding- I'm not sure really./
All the crew knew that Robin's sleep patterns were a bit unusual, and they knew she didn't sleep that much. 'This is ridiculous', Nami thought. 'So she just get full sleep if she's frozen to death or something?' she asked to herself. She understood her anger towards Robin was mostly due to her own frustration for not be able to help her get through her tragic past. Zoro was wondering if Chopper wasn't trying to get more information on purpose. The swordsman gave the reindeer a questioning look, that Chopper return with a nod. 'So he knows' he thought. Now he was sure that the doctor was aware of the questions he hadn't asked yet, Zoro relaxed a bit. Chopper asked Robin to lift her sleeve, to take her vitals signs. She obeyed, showing her arm full of bruises (that now were completely purple-colored) and the wounds left by the sea-stone handcuffs. Chopper handled her arm with caution, taking her pulse and pressure.
-Hm. Your pressure is a bit low, but I guess that's normal since you have nausea and fainted not long ago- Chopper was talking more to himself rather than the others.
He proceeded to set the stethoscope to hear her breathing, he checked her pupils, and wrote the information in his notebook. After he finished, she looked at Robin hesitant.
-Now, I need you to undress, Robin...-he was almost asking for permission to speak out his petition.
-I don't mind to do it for you or navigator-san, but it is a bit embarrassing to get half-naked in front of swordsman-san.
-Oi, Zoro, you're not taking advantage of the situation to see Robin naked, are you?-Nami teased.
-Shut up, witch. I'm not like that shitty ero-cook- Zoro grumbled. He took his bandana off his arm and put it around his eyes- this should do it- he said, sitting in his corner and crossing his arms- Go on.
-Is there a reason for you to stay here, swordsman-san?- asked Robin.
-There is. Chopper is too naïve, and Nami feels guilty about what happened before. I just want to make sure you won't get out of this by tricking them- replied Zoro.
-That is hilarious. You are forcing me to trust you, but you don't trust me enough to get out of this room- Robin said calmly.
-Tch. We both know you would manage to manipulate them into leaving you alone. It's not like I want to be here anyway- Zoro was now with his arms behind his head, in a relaxed position.
-You idiot. I'm not that easy to manipulate, you know- Nami mumbled- Chopper, let's finish this quickly. I don't want to deal with that marimo all night.
-Oi, how did you call me?!- Zoro complained.
-MA-RI-MO- Nami said, smirking.
-Hum, guys...- Chopper interrupted. At least the other three were less tense than before. But he was still uncomfortable with all this.
-Sorry- Nami said- Please, do what you do best, great Doctor Chopper.
-You...you're not gonna make me happy, you bastard!- Chopper was containing his happy wiggling- Robin...
-I know, Doctor-san.
Robin acted like it wasn't a big deal to undress herself, but it was painful. All her body was aching, and even if she could tolerate it, it was uncomfortable. She used her phantom limbs to help her pass the blouse sleeves out of her arms. At least, she still had her bra. But the pain wasn't as unbearable as the shame she was feeling now that her wounds were exposed to others. She hid her look behind her hair. Nami gasped when she saw Robin's body. She saw the amount of bruises and injuries she had all over it and felt bad for her. Being hurt fighting was one thing, but being hurt when you're defenseless was very different.
-Robin...-Nami muttered.
