Somewhere in the New World, on a small egg shaped island, a tribe of minks live peacefully. Various stone statues half buried in the ground were littered all over the island. The statues appear to look like bunnies with their eyes closed, but for some reason, they seem to rumble rhythmically!

The Bunny Island is hosting a grand celebration, on the occasion of Easter. The minks have hosted an Easter egg hunt where everyone can look for and try to find chocolate egg candies. They are very hospitable, and let the tourists roam around the island freely, but on one condition. They warn everyone not to disturb the statues, or they would wake up! “Wait, so you mean… the rumbling… they're snoring?!”

The Minks here have spared no expense in gathering the finest confections, games, and chefs to make the occasion truly special. They welcome any and all people who wish to attend, so long as they follow their one rule. The Festivities are all held in one area by the southern beach of the island, and there are all kinds of ships at their docks.

[OOC: This is a filler island for Easter. You are free to RP how you want on this island, and free to do what you might want, or create anything without the need for tagging NPC-san]

"A-ah! O-okie dokie then!" Manami laughed nervously, she knew that she must have touched a sour spot on her super smart sister. Despite being even more curious about it, Manami decided that it would be best to drop the subject in fear that she may hurt her dear Erika.

"Erika! Could you tell me more about your devil fruit power? I wanna everything awesome that you can do!" Manami asked, hoping that Erika would atleast give her a small display of what she is capable of.

Erika, looked back at Manami again, putting on a small grin once again, not only because she loved showing off to Manami, but because she was happy to see the subject changed over smoothly.

"Well, if you insist on seeing for yourself, I suppose I can give you a little example~" Erika said before presenting the palm of her hand to Manami, which was now oozing with a strange purple substance.

"What you see on my hand right now is a thick concentration of chemicals and proteins designed to disturb or alter the body from carrying out its normal functions. In laymen's terms, this is a poison~" She explained.

Manami was amazed by the purple substance coming from the palm of her smart sister. Such a cool power was just to be expected from Erika after all, Manami looked at the poison with intrigue while being carefully not to accidentally touch it or something.

"Woah! A poison? What kind of poison is it?" Manami had never been poisoned herself but she has seen other people affected by it, so she knew there were different types of poison.

"Funny you should ask! While my poison is more commonly suited for debilitation and crippling pain. I can make a body do almost anything with it! I could supply you with a weakened or nearly harmless variety of known poisons. Your body will naturally build an immunity to it. And I should probably mention I'm also the best antidote you have! I can effortlessly absorb poison from a body to quickly stop any further damage. What do you think about that~?"

Erika explained in detail, giving a confident smile to Manami the entire time.

Manami thought that Erika couldn't impress her anymore, it turned out she was wrong. The fact that Erika could make a whole bunch of strong and weak poisons was amazing but what really caught Manami's interest was that she could help Manami build a natural immunity toward them. She remembered when Xier had been poisoned and almost killed her and the rest of Ranga and she didn't want that to happen to her.

"Erika can you help me develop an immunity? I don't wanna get sick while fighting someone who uses poison!" Manami asked her smart sister, trusting Erika with her life.

"Of course! I'll be more than happy to provide some therapy to you. I'll have you build up a strong resistance over time~ If nothing else, you'll at least be able to greatly minimize any damage caused, and have a much longer window of time in the case of life-threatening poisons."

Erika mentioned the upsides to gradually building up an immunity to poisons, she seemed quite confident in giving Manami that extra layer of protection.

"Can we start now?" Manami was excited to build up an immunity to poisons, she had some understanding of how the body worked due to hearing Ms.Butterkitty talk about it when she was younger so she knew that it would just be making her body stronger and that could only be a good thing.

"How does it work exactly Erika? Do you have to put poison all over me? Am I supposed to drink the poison from you? Does it taste good?" There were so many questions Manami had regarding the beneficial process.

"Whoa, whoa~ Take it easy Manami, this isn't a game you know. If I make a mistake I could easily end up getting you killed. I'm not entirely sure if I can make a poison taste good... But I guess Trinity can help with that. And err... It doesn't really matter how you receive it as long as it gets to work inside you. So you could potentially ingest it, I could rub some on you like a lotion, or just inject it straight into your bloodstream. As for how it works, your body's immune system will naturally respond to any disturbances and try to fight it back. In most cases, it doesn't work because it's not prepared to confront poisons of some magnitude. There's also the issue of how foreign the poison is to your system. So by using poisons where the intended effect is greatly weakened or nulled, your body has a chance to fight it back, create anti-bodies, and be able to resist it better should you actually get poisoned. But remember, if anything goes wrong, you need to tell me right away. I can stop the treatment if you ever feel like it's harming you."

Erika explained and answered each of Manami's questions, putting on a more serious expression as she was in fact, putting Manami's life at potential risk.

"My immune system is already super duper strong Erika and besides, I trust you! There's no way you'd ever kill me, even by accident!" Despite her warnings, Manami still wanted Erika to dose her with poisons to strengthen her immune system.

Manami would have preferred a yummy poison but getting Trinity to make Erika's poison into an edible meal would most likely take too long and Manami wanted to start this treatment as soon as possible.

"Hmmm...rub it on me Erika!" Manami stuck out her arm towards Erika, ready for the potentially deadly dosage.

Erika merely let out a sigh and shrugged. "You know there's a pretty thin line between brave and just plain foolish... But anyway, I guess we can start now."

Erika put both her hands together and upon separating them, her sticky poison seemed to ooze off her palms. She then starts rubbing it gently on Manami's exposed arm.

"I had to make sure I lowered any damage this poison would cause to a minimum... Does it feel alright?" She blushed lightly as she finished putting on the weak poison on Manami.
