The group then went back to the castle to discuss some things and ultimately, eat food.
Along the way Momonosuke notice something,
Oi, Kinemon, why is there so much lanterns around, and banners?? Momonosuke said
Oh, they are probably preparing for a festival. Kinemon said with a straight face.
Momonosuke can't avoid to look at what is all over the place and when he passed through the roads, the people are seemingly smiling and waving at him, although he can't hear what they are saying because they are on the sides, the people still look like they are all preparing something for him. He find it all ...
"Weird", Momonosuke said
They finally arrived at the castle and what surprise Luffy and his crew is the abundant and lavish amount of food in the table, and Luffy can't help but dig in.
Oi, Kin-emon, you raelly prepaed oll this for afs. Luffy said while munching the meat served in the table.
Ohh, might as well give it a try you know, Land of Wano cooking. Sanji said holding his own plate ready to pick whatever dish appeals him in the table.
Now, Luffy-dono, may you tell us why you are here. Kinemon asked
Umm, um, mam-mam Momo-
Im his spokesperson for now so ill tell you, Robin said smiling. You might as well know this since Wano has been receiving newspapers from JP Morgan now, during our journey to Elbaf, we found the last road poneglyph in one of the shrines of the giants and deciphered a copy in our ship and we have all 4 now so you know what that means right? Kinemon-san
Ofcourse! Hehe, Kinemon said. "Did I miss something, I dont remeber about those red poneglyph at all" Kinemon thought
Robin then smiled, "Ofcourse you dont know it right? Right?
Ahem, he he. Kinemon reacted
Well the reason we are here is because we want to take Momonosuke with us to the Last Island with us. Robin straightforwardly said
Huh? Last Island?? Laugh Tale!? Momonosuke blurted out
Correct, Momo-chan. Robin said , "Were gonna take a few detour a long the way and next we will be going to the Fishman Island.
Oii, Momonosuke, have you seen the Mermaid Princess? Ehehe. Sanji said while his mind is off somewhere admiring the Mermaid Princess.
Mermaid Princess?!! Momonosuke said
Thats right, I have seen her before and she is the prettiest girl you will ever see in the world, you might even turn into stone like me. Sanji said giggling and covering his mouth to hold his laugh
Sanji and Momonosuke then was seen with heart eyes and fluttering hearts around.
Nami then went to slap Sanji in the head with a bone. How could you influence him like that? Nami shouted. Right, Momo-chan, you need to grow up as a strong leader afterall, you can't be affected by womens like this wimp. Nami added
Momo-chan, are you in or not? Robin asked
Momonosuke then succumbed in deep thoughts as he was thinking about what to do, his father, Kozuki Oden once went to the Last Island and managed to see the wonder of the world and thinking about it, there was a lot of things Momonosuke must know.
Seeing Momonosuke in deep thoughts, Robin then gave time for Momonosuke to think about the whole thing.
We will be leaving in 3 days Momo-chan, you can decide of what to do by then, either you join us or stay. Robin then smiled at Momonosuke to cheer him up a little.
Yosshhh!! Lets eat for the meantime. Luffy said , "And by the way, why are there so many lanterns outside and banners?! Is there some kind of celebration or any upcoming ones?
Ahhh, yeah' there is an upcoming festival so the people are arranging those lanterns. Kinemon answered and then looked at the cyan-haired girl in the table," Hiyori-sama, why dont you take Momonosuke-sama around the capital so he know the state of the preparations for festival.
Why not! Lets go, Momonosuke, lets take a look around. Hiyori said smiling.
"Ofcourse", Luffy, want to join? Everyone? Momonosuke said
Well stay here for the meantime, we just arrived so everyone wants to take a rest to recover our liveliness energy. Sanji said
Ohh, Ill come, Ill come, I saw some food stalls on our way here and Im sure the "shogun" has some previlige around. Luffy said
Why not, lets go, I guess its just three of us huh, well thats not a problem. Momonosuke said ,"Oii, Otama, care to join.
Momonosuke and Hiyori then went off to town with Luffy and Otama.
I guess we will have to go to rest now huh? Well there is a lot of food and Luffy will get to that later. Zoro said
Everyone, do you have a minute or so? Kiku asked
What is it? Zoro replied
Well, *breathe* I dont know if any of you know this but Momonosuke-sama will be going undergoing something 2 days from now. Kiku said
Ohh, what is it, is it some kind of ritual or creepy old things pass on as a tradition. Ussop said
"Idiot", Ofcourse its not, why do you think like that. She then let out a big sigh. Anyway, since y'all are already here, might as well tell you this. Kiku then breathe ,"Momonosuke-sama's birthday will be in two days, and thats why you see a lot of things around" Kiku said
Momonosuke's birthday?!!, No wonder there is so many things floating around. Sanji said
As you all know now, we only have few days to prepare for the celebration and I'm thinking that since you guys are here, why dont you help us to make the party livelier. Kiku said smiling
"Ofcourse" Everyone said
Well if its just a celebration, me and Franky can help you with things around. Ussop said
Well I thank you for that, how about we discuss about the plan after you rest, there is a lot of things we need to talk about and surprises are the best things in a celebration. Kiku said
Yossh, lets take a rest immediately so we can talk about it sooner. Ussop-sama said
Momonosuke's birthday huh, I guess we didn't just come here to invite him after all. Zoro said
