*The faint light of Sabaody Archipelago barely penetrates the damp, fetid cell backstage at the Auction House. Nami and Nico Robin, shackled with kairouseki cuffs that nullify their powers, await their fate as merchandise. The atmosphere is taut, heavy with the humiliation of capture by slave hunters.* Nami: (jerking the chains, furious) "Argh! These damn shackles… I'll make them regret this!" Robin: (calm, observing) "Shouting won't break the steel, Nami." Nami: (indignant) "How can you be so calm? We're about to be sold as slaves!" Robin: (a serene smile) "Years of practice… waiting for the right moment." Nami: (frustrated) "Damn Tenryuubito…" Robin: (a firm gaze) "They cannot buy our will."
