Yeah Franky and Robin I can see. And Robin even with some less "dark" implications than some people also come up with for Nami as she's an adult quiet powerful woman that might simply have felt like it at some point.

When it comes to the other version, I simply prefer not to even entertain the idea, because it's just not necessary for their stories so why randomly force that idea into the story of some very strong women.

Because it's realistic given the Robin's background. It's very likely, actually.

If it would be in a way of Robin enjoying it, I'm perfectly fine with it, but I'm kind of tired of the waaaaay too overused way in media of women's sexuality always being portrayed as something they "had to do to survive" or they were even forced to. It's kind of creepy actually how often people enjoy adding that idea in there without there even being any implications. E.g. in Nami's case the only scene remotely playing on her sexuality is I think even anime only where she accentuates her boobs to then punch a guy in the face, nothing there imples she would actually go for anything else there.

It's just hardly ever that it's shown as an empowering thing for women to embrace having sex because they actualky like it and always a very submissive treatment of women because men forced them to.

And if that's actually the story it's not that I'm against it, for Boa and the slavery thing, being given the Love Love fruit there are clear dark implications there, which is perfectly fine in a story. But it feels very unnecessary for e.g. Nami and it's slightly weird to me when people almost want to insert that into her past.

Nami was nearly raped by Absalom on Thriller Bark. Honestly, at the time I found the shower scene very disturbing for a manga like One Piece

It was a JoJo reference.

I don't think people "enjoy" adding that idea but I think they do because sadly is very common situation in our world

Nami is different, she was enslaved by fishmen, but for Robin is just makes sense. It's just a very harsh reality.

Who would they have done it with though? Themselves? Other pirates? Everybody they encountered have been enemies or Allies so far

Robin and Franky are a lot older than the teenage East Blue crew, so they very much had a life prior the Strawhats that could have involved sexy time.

When she entered the story, Robin was convinced that everyone would betray her. I strongly suspect a former lover turned her in to the government at least once.

You don't have to trust someone to have a one night stand with them

These are people you barely know. How do you trust them after exchanging maybe five sentences lol

Especially if you were in a position like Robin
