“Interesting,” Robin said as she finished reading the part in the book about physiological effects of growing. She had read through the entire book, but other then a bunch of pro Navy comments there wasn’t much to read except this part. It went over the effects growing and shrinking back down on the human mind and it was quite revealing. Among the effects was a lack of self-control. Subjects that grew to several hundred feet tended to act impulsively, acting out their first instincts no matter what common sense told them. That explained why Robin had been thinking earlier about stomping around the island and causing destruction just for the heck of it.

There was also another effect to growing huge that Robin kept going over again and again. It both worried and amused her because of the potential ramifications. She reread it again, this time out loud to herself.

“The process of growing and shrinking causes a massive buildup of hormones inside the subjects body that remains with them for up to a day. Continuous growing and shrinking can cause this effect to be permanent, resulting in the subject remaining in a state of high arousal all the time.”

“Sounds bad,” Robin commented, underlining the section with her pen. The looks shared between Luffy and Nami were not caused by just sexual tension. Both of them had to be having their libidos in high drive after going from normal to giant and back to normal in just a few minutes. Along with their self-control compromised, either one of them could end up jumping someone. Robin sincerely doubted that Luffy was interested in anything other then a woman and Nami found all the men on this ship save one either annoying, perverted, an animal or not living.

Either those two would do nothing or they would get together for some pirate loving. Another option that Robin considered was one of them might come to her. She was the only other woman on board other then Nami and she had a much better chance with Nami then someone like Usopp or Sanji. Robin grin blissfully at the thought of one of them coming into her bedchambers. Maybe if she were a lucky girl, she’d get both.

“I guess I’m feeling my own ‘massive buildup of hormones’,” Robin noted as she shut the book and went over to her bed. Lying back down, Robin stared at the ceiling and wondered what things would be like with their new powers. No one had ever had two abilities before, but now the Straw-Hat had a man that could stretch like rubber and grow to enormous sizes and a woman that could make copies of any body part on a flat surface and become a giantess. She wondered idly if her Hana-Hana fruit abilities grew when she did.

“One way to find out.” Closing her eyes, she pictured herself becoming seven feet tall. Her legs shot out past the end of the bed. Her clothes tightened, but didn’t tear. Robin looked herself over and then summoned a hand to appear between her legs. The arm appeared out of no way, waving towards her as Robin looked at it. The arm was bigger then normal.

“Interesting indeed,” Robin added with a smug smile. If she became a giantess, so did her Hana-Hana fruit limbs. She could summon a dozen hands the size of boats whenever she went huge. This would be a huge boon during fights. A fish popping out of nowhere was bad, but a fist bigger then a person popping up was worse.

Happy about her upgraded abilities, Robin decided to make herself even happier. She created several more arms beside her and had them pull her top off as the one between her legs undid her belt. Robin moaned as fingers brushed against her breasts and crotch lightly. She’d deal with the massive buildup of hormones on her own unless Luffy or Nami showed up. This was why Hana-Hana fruit was the best devil fruit out there.

************************************************
A very unhappy Nami sat up on the edge of her bed, rubbing the back of her head softly. She had bumped her head several times into the ceiling while walking up right, earning her a few bruises. The first thing Nami did when she got back on board the ship was checking her dresser for anything to wear. Because of her love of tight shirts and tighter pants there wasn’t anything that remotely fit her ten-foot frame. Unable to seven get a pair of panties on, Nami had made herself a dress out of her bed sheets, but even that barely covered her. Her long legs were completely exposed and when she tried to walk, parts of her body she wanted hidden could be seen in the open. No one else had to know that orange was her natural hair color.

She had tried to make herself a new dress using her sheets, but had found that her thick fingers couldn’t hold a needle. She was going to have to get someone else to make her new clothes, but that wasn’t the only thing she needed to do. She needed to tell Sanji to make a bigger meal for her, she needed to learn to use a pencil with her bigger hands and she damn well needed to remember to stop standing up strait and banging her noggin on the ceiling.

Being bigger had seemed so cool when she had told Luffy it was her desired devil fruit power, but all she had gotten out of it was grief. There was no other benefit then a power increase in a fight and Nami didn’t have to fight anyone. She had to live like this until she figured out how to force herself back to normal size and every time she tried it failed. Nami felt tired, frustrated and so lonely. She was this giant freak and had no one to talk to without exposing herself.

‘Knock, knock.’

‘BANG!’

“Oooowww!” Nami rubbed her head where she could already feel a bump swelling up. Remembering not to stand up was getting to be a real pain. Hobbling towards her door, she smothered out her dress to make sure nothing was showing before sticking her head out to see who was there.
