The discussion and rehearsal ended yesterday and still, there are a lot of things they needed to sort out and one of them is the decorations, most of the town was already decorated and they focused on designing the party area and birthday highlights.
"Oii, Raizo, how many lanterns have we made already? Denjiro asked
The lanterns? "Oh, the one for the sky show. Well, we have a lot of them ready and we prepared quite a lot of candles since this will be the first birthday of Momonosuke-sama being commemorated as the shogun", Raizo said
"So we have a lot of surprises huh, Momonosuke-sama will be so happy about this", Denjiro said excitedly and the same time he was seen smiling, he is thinking about a lot of things but the happiness of Momonosuke was his goal, their goal.
"Kiku-san" Nami called out, "When are you guys going to prepare the cake for the celebration?, I'd like to join in the making and Sanji too.
Ohh, cake? "Is that something that is common in the outside world? I only know a few things that people outside prepare during a celebration", Kiku replied wondering what a cake is.
Huh? "You don't know what a cake is, why don't you come with me, lets go to where Sanji is and he'll tell you a lot about it, afterall that pervy-cook impressed a Yonko before". Nami said
---------
"Hototoe, hotoooe, look at that beautiful woman there, is she single? Sanji said
"Oii Sanji, your back in your pervy doings again? Come on help us, we are building this stunning stage here for Momonosuke to be spot on", Ussop said, "By the way where is Luffy, did they go somewhere off again", Ussop added
"Oh, I heard Luffy is hauling a lot of food in the town so he won't be back for a while" Sanji answered
"What a drag, abusing Momonosuke's shogun previlige like that, is he trying to haul everything, what is taking him so long? Ussop said
"Well you know our Captain, he is quite a big eater and maybe in a few days this town will go on to a food shortage", Sanji jokingly said.
---------
Momonosuke, is this okay? "There is a lot of food here and I could take them anytime but it might damage your reputation, afterall we just went to a few stores and took a lot of food",Luffy said
"Huh?! What do you mean "Is this okay", I am the shogun now and I could pay them back later, plus you dont have to worry about our reputations, we didn't do bad things to the stores and your a hero to this place, you played a great role in taking back Wano and a lot of people know about it so they respect the Straw Hats Pirates more than any other" Momo said
"Thats quite a lot of words, I guess that stingy brat have grown afterall, look at you, even though you still look like the kid that I promised to a while back, you changed a lot", Luffy said ," Well thats because were friends right? Luffy asked
Oss! "We are friend no matter what" Momonosuke asnwered smiling.
"Yosshh, why don't we head back and rest, I heard there is a festival tommorow so you should be in good shape to party with people" Luffy said
---------
"Oi! Sanji" Nami said waving at him
Ohh! Nami-san. Have you come to "propose"? Sanji asked, he then slid back his hair and put on a charming looks as if he was in a romance movie where people loved each other.
"You idiot", as she said those words, a loud crashing smacked was heard from Sanji's head. "Ofcourse not, why would I propose or even accept one from a perv like you" She added
"Ohhh, Nami-san, that hurt you know" Sanji said
"Humph! She replied
"Ahh, Sanji, can you come with us, I heard that you guys prepare something that was called cake in the outside world so we were thinking if you could help", Kiku said with teary eyes.
"Ohh, ofcourse, if its just a cake then I can make the best in the world, madamos-, wait a minute" this is a guy not a girl, AAHHH", Sanji screamed at his head after answering the favour, he was fooled again.
"Lets go", Kiku said
They then went inside a house and prepared there was bunch sack of flours, eggs and vannila and anything needed for a cake.
"Oh, so you really prepared everything we needed huh. There is even a giant mixing bowl and oven here, as expected of Nami-san, you mush have remembered what I used in the cake island right", Sanji said
"It was Momo-chans birthday afterall, I tried to remember everything that you used to do when we were on the ship and the cake island", Nami said
"Ohh, so you did a great effort in remembering it huh", Sanji said ," What are we waiting for, lets get to work".
With that, everyone continued with their works and put a great effort for the sake of the celebration tommorow.
