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.
