As Zoro and Nami kept walking towards the main center of the island, they noticed that the island starting changing colors. What was all red and pink on the outside was gone on the inside. The main center was painted with every color you could think of. It had a big information desk in the center and tons of important looking buildings surrounding it. It was one giant circle that had roads branching off from it. There was a shopping district, restaurant district, medical district, a training district, and so many more.
Nami stopped at the information desk with a wide look on her face. "Wow. This place is amazing. It is so beautiful and expensive looking. It also seems to have everything we were looking to stock up on."
The woman at the information desk smiled brightly at the couple. "Hi! Welcome to Amor Isle's Main Center. My name is Tammy. We take pride in providing for every couple and their every need. How can I help you today?"
Nami turned to face Tammy and noticed that she was beautiful as well. She was tall and had a fantastic figure. She had straight, long blonde hair and blue eyes that could pierce right through you. Nami noticed that Tammy wasn't really looking at her, but at Zoro beside her. Zoro was looking towards the training district, silently hoping to convince Nami to go down that road. Tammy leaned her body forward (much like Nami does when she is trying to negotiate a deal) hoping to catch Zoro's attention. "Is there anything I could help YOU with?" She smiled a sickly sweet smile towards the swordsman. Zoro turned to look at her with a blank expression on his face.
"Can you tell us how to get to the shopping district?" It was Nami that spoke this time. Tammy turned her head towards her. "Yeah, just go down that road right there, take a right at the sparkling fountain, and it should take you to a green rock. Take a left at the green rock and the shopping district is a straight shot from there." She snapped her head back towards Zoro and flashed him a dazzling grin.
Nami could feel herself starting to boil. Who did this chick think she was? First, this is a couple's only island so she has to have a boyfriend somewhere and second, she knows Zoro is with me. Nami scooted closer to Zoro and took his hand in hers. She looked towards him with a love sick look on her face. "Honey, are you ready to go. As soon as we are done shopping, we can go to a district you want to go to. Does that sound ok?" She knew that if she was to sweeten the deal with saying that they could go to a district he wants to go to, then he would be a lot more responsive and hopefully look interested in her.
Zoro turned his head quickly to Nami and gave her a small smile. "Really? Cause I want to check out the training district. They might have some opponents for me to face and possible some new equipment. "
"Sure, as soon as we are done shopping. Ready to go?"
"Yep. The quicker we leave, the quicker you shop, the quicker we go to the training district." Zoro tugged on Nami's hand to drag her away from the desk to the path that he thought led to the shopping district.
Tammy witnessed the exchange between the two and sighed. Of course. Just when I think I find a guy who isn't interested in the girl he is with. She stood up to grab a map of the top shelf. "Here, take this. There are different roads that connect the different districts to each other. This should help if you are wanting to go to the training district after shopping. There is a path that connects the two. "
Nami turned around and walked back to the desk to take the map from the girl and smiled. "Thank you. How much?"
"It's free. I can tell your boyfriend really loves you." She was now whispering to Nami. "He hasn't stopped looking at you since you have gotten here. Sure he turns away when you look, but he has that look in his eye when looking at you. He really likes you. Be sure to keep him, he looks like a good guy." Tammy turned to help the couple on the other side.
Nami turned to indeed find Zoro looking at her. "What? Let's go."
They turned towards the shopping district. They reached the sparkling fountain and went right, then reached the green rock and turned left.
"Nami, isn't it strange that they use rocks to help them find where they are going?"
"Maybe it is for people like you with no sense of direction so they need a landmark to help them find their way."
Zoro glared at her. Dang witch.
They found the shopping district straight ahead. Nami stopped to take it all in. It was huge. It had to have had over a hundred stores. The buildings were tall and wide. Each building had a different look to them. Somewhere factory looking while others looked more antique. Nami was smiling a Luffy sized grin at everything around her.
"This place is amazing and beautiful!"
Zoro was frozen. There are so many stores. It would take days to go through each one. He looked down at Nami who was smiling and bouncing. Maybe she won't want to go to every store. Maybe she will just pick a few and come back tomorrow with curly brow or someone not me. Zoro relaxed a little at that thought. Nami looked at him, still beaming. "We are going to every store even if it takes all week."
Zoro's eyes got really wide and his mouth dropped. "What witch? You said that we could go to the training district sometime today."
Nami looked at him and her beaming smile turned into a mischievous one. "I believe I said that we could go to the training district after I was done shopping."
Zoro glared at her. "Why you little, sneaky, son of a" He didn't finish the thought because at that moment Nami ran towards a building. He sighed. Might as well try to get this over with as quickly as possible. Zoro followed her into the building. It was huge. It had high ceilings and clothes everywhere. He spotted Nami near a rack of orange colored dresses. He walked over to her. She looked up at him with a dress in her hand and asked him what he thought.
"I think it's a dress. Buy it so we can get out of here."
Nami gave him a glare. "Zoro. You can't just buy the first thing you pick up. You have to try multiple things on and see how they look. This is why I am glad you are here. You can give me your opinion on what looks good! Go sit on that couch and wait why I grab a few more things. Try not to get lost on your way over there." She waved her hand at him and walked to another rack of clothes.
Why that little witch. Always telling me what to do. Tsk. Well, I could get a nap out of this. He made his way over to the couch and closed his eye. A few seconds later he could hear his name. "Zoro. WAKE UP!" Not exactly a gentle wake up call. He had a huge lump forming on his head when he looked up at her. He gave a big yawn and looked around. "Huh? Where are we? This isn't the ship."
Nami face palmed and gave him a threatening look. "We are still in the shop idiot! Now please try to behave and oh I don't know actually stay awake for once!" And with that, she stormed off in the direction of the dressing rooms.
"Tsk, touchy."
Nami tried on several shirts and dresses, but she decided that she didn't like them and didn't need Zoro to tell her that. She put on a strapless, mini dress that ended at midthigh. It was yellow with tiny, white polka dots. Huh. This looks kinda good! I will show him this.
"Ok, what is your opinion on this one?"
Zoro looked up to find Nami in a strapless dress. Her hair was flowing down her back and the colors really made her amber eyes pop. His jaw dropped a little at how good she looked. Then he snapped it shut, rubbing the spot where he was punched a couple of minutes ago. Too bad she has the personality of a donkey.
"Looks good. Get it."
Nami looked at him with a smile. "You really think so? I like it too! I think it will get it! Thanks Zoro." She walked back into the dressing room, changed, and walked back out with the dress in her hands.
Wow, that was easy.
"Ok, I don't see anything else I like here. Let's pay and go to the next store." She then walked towards the checkout counter to purchase the dress.
Zoro stood up and walked behind her. The cashier was a woman as well. She looked to be about 17. She had long, thick, curly brown hair that was pulled back into a pony tail. She was pretty average looking. Ok figure and around average height. She took the money from Nami and was about to give her, her change when Zoro walked up. The girl stopped and stared at the swordsman. Nami noticed and tried to reel her back into reality. "Um, hehe. Excuse me. Can I have my change?" The girl didn't move.
Zoro finally caught up to Nami and noticed that she was trying to get change from the cashier. The girl was frozen staring at him. Weird woman. I wish she would stop staring at me. She looks like Luffy when he sees meat.
"Excuse me, could you give my girlfriend her change?"
Nami turned her head to look at Zoro. GIRLFRIEND? Oh yeah, we are a "couple". But still, has a nice ring to it. She quickly turned her head so Zoro wouldn't see the blush forming on her cheeks. The girl came back to reality and gave Nami her change and said sorry for spacing out.
They left that store and started heading to the next one.
"Do you understand how many women I have seen staring at you? It is sickening."
Zoro turned to look at her with a confused look, "Huh? What are you talking about? What women?"
Nami stopped to look at him. "You're kidding right? They have been all over you since we have been here! Well whatever, let's just keep shopping."
She started walking again when something caught Nami's eye. She looked a poster of a couple in love. The poster was for the annual love festival and had a list of all the contests that were offered. Next to the description of the contests were berri signs. Istantly Nami snatched the poster off the wall. Each contest had a different theme and challenge. The couple that signed up would compete in all of them and at the end of each round, the couple who wins would be awarded the money. Every couple would compete in all challenges, winners and losers. At the end of the festival, the island would announce a queen and king. The couple who won the most challenges and displayed the most love would win the title and the island will award them with 10 million berri.
Nami's eyes lit up into berri signs. "Zoro, are you thinking what I am thinking?"
Zoro looked at her then at the poster. He quickly read over her shoulder with his eyes growing larger every second.
" . .NO. and No. I am not about to compete in something as stupid as a love challenge just so you can win some money."
"Zoro, if you help me, I will help you. This is a PERFECT chance for you to pay off your debt. We can split each prize 70-30 and you can pay me back what you owe. Besides, think of this as a game! You can beat people and become king. It's pretty much like becoming master swordsman."
"It is nothing like becoming master swordsman!" Zoro was starting to get snappy. No way was he going to do this.
"I bet Sanji would do it and win every competition. Then everyone would say how strong he was and how he wasn't afraid of some little old love contests." Nami knew she had him now. She flashed him her smug grin.
Zoro started at her blankly and blinked a few times. No way I can let that stupid love cook show me up. "Fine, I will do it, but I expect my debt to be GONE after this." And they turned, with the poster in hand, to the next store on the street.
Yep, this was going to be one fun adventure.
