Chapter 10: The party (part 1)
It was only two hours before the guests arrived, Nami inspected the venue of the event, because Hancock had charged her to check the preparations for the party.
The black haired woman spared no expense, she rented a gigantic reception room and hired a decorator who had made the place feel like it was coming out of a fairy tale book, the tables and chairs were covered with a white fabric with pink highlights, assorted with porcelain plates, a large bouquet of red roses decorated each table while white roses were scattered in the alley that leads to the dance floor.
Nami welcomed the singer who had just arrived and helped him set himself up, he was one of Luffy's friends, Brook The Soul King, an old pervert who keeps asking her to show him her panties every time she sees him and as usual, she silenced him with a punch.
Then the caterer had arrived with the big dinner and the cake, so she took him to the kitchen to get ready, then she explained to the waiters when and how they will serve dinner.
Nami thought that Hancock should have brought back the priest and do the marriage, because an engagement party for five hundred people was a little exaggerated.
After checking everything, she went to the room where the girls were getting ready, and when she entered, she saw that they had finished, Hancock was dressed in a long purple dress with a slit that exposed her right leg, the bust was lace while the bottom was made of tight-fitting fabric, her long black hair was loose and from her ears a pair of gold snake-shaped curls was hunging; her sisters wore similar short dresses, except that Sandersonia's was green and Marigold's was dark pink.
There was also Hancock's friend Marguerite who was wearing a leopard mini skirt with a brown crop top and Robin who was dressed in a long black waisted dress.
"I see you're all ready," Nami noticed as she entered the room. "There is only me left."
"I am sorry my dear," Hancock apologized while applying lipstick. "When it comes to organization, you're the most perceptive I know."
"I will say she is more insightful about money and negotiation." Robin teased her.
"When it comes to money no one can match her." Hancock affirmed, shaking her head.
"Say what you want but do not forget that thanks to me, you had half price what you're wearing right now." Nami remarked as she pulled out her dress from the cover.
"I have never seen anyone negotiate for half an hour." Marigold commented in a surprised tone.
"You did not see her the day she negotiated for almost two hours," Robin said, stifling her laugh with her hand. "I heard that the store had closed some time later."
"Yes and the seller had a nervous breakdown." Nami mumbled sarcastically.
"Is it true that your new boyfriend is rich?" Hancock asked. "According to Luffy he is a great doctor."
"Yes it's true but I don't love him for his money." The red haired woman replied as she slipped out of her jeans.
"You should have seen her eyes when she heard that he came from a rich family." Robin informed.
"In the beginning," Nami pointed out. "And apparently it's a big family in North Blue."
"Without being indiscreet, which family is it?" Marguerite asked politely. "I am also from North Blue."
"It's the Trafalgar family." The redhead said after putting on a long orange strapless dress with a slit on each side, a thin golden belt separated the top of the bottom.
"I know them," The blonde told her. "And from what I know, Mr. Trafalgar is a big shareholder in a chain of hospitals and if I'm not mistaken, he has two children."
"You have sinned a big fish my dear Nami." Hancock commented before spraying perfume on her.
"But, I thought that the only son of the Trafalgar family was engaged to Mr. Riku's daughter." Marguerite added softly.
"Who the hell is this ?" Nami growled while Robin frowned, the brunette had a bad feeling.
"He is one of Mr. Trafalgar's associates," The blonde haired woman replied in a panicked tone as a drop of sweat appeared on her forehead. "Maybe they broke up because it's been over ten years since they were engaged."
"Yes surely," The redhead murmured with a worried expression on her face. "In addition, me and law we never talk about our previous relationships, and me too, I was engaged in the past."
"Absalom the mentally ill." All the women said in unison, everyone heard about this story apparently.
"And speaking of the past," Nami shouted, turning her head toward Hancock. "Why no one informed me that Kid and Bonney are invited, I discovered it by chance while I checked the places in the tables."
"It's not me, you know Luffy, he insisted on inviting everyone." The black haired woman explained.
"Who are they?" Marigold asked in a puzzled voice.
"My ex boyfriend and my ex friend," Nami informed her with emphasis on the word ex. "He cheated on me with her and soon after, she cheated on him with another man, it's well done for the bastard."
"I am sorry." Marguerite said with empathy.
"It's nothing, I've already forgotten this story a long time ago," The redhead chuckled with a devilish smile. "Today, I got a little revenge."
"What is it?" Robin asked with an arched eyebrow.
"I put Bonney and her new boyfriend Hawkins on the same table as Kid," Nami explained as she arranged the curls of her hair. "Next to him to be exact."
"Show me them after." Sandersonia smiled excitedly.
"Talking about that," Robin Said. "I hope that Zoro is not on the same table as me."
"No he is with Kinemon and company." The redhead replied.
"Is there anything new with him?" Hancock asked anxiously.
"He keeps calling me and sending me messages," Robin began before pushing a long sigh. "I continue to ignore him."
"Check the time," Nami interrupted to change the subject, she didn't want her best friend to be sad. "The guests will soon be arriving."
"Awesome." Law hissed as he entered the parking lot.
There was almost no place to park, which meant that there were a lot of people at this damn party, if Nami had not insisted that he come, he would not have set foot in the stupid event.
When he entered the room, he was struck by a wave of din, the background music mixed with people who converse and laugh; in addition, he noticed several heads that he knows, Jinbei one of his patients, Drake an old acquaintance of North Blue, Chopper an intern at the hospital, Kid the mechanic and many more.
He also noticed that he did not exaggerate wearing a black suit, because everyone wore classic even Luffy.
The brown stood up at the doorway and inspected the area looking for an orange head, it was a difficult task because of the hundreds of people present, that's why he took his phone out of his pocket and called the woman in question, however, she was not answering, he crossed his arms and sighed bored, but as he turned his head to the right, he saw the redhead coming towards him.
"You are late." Nami said in an annoyed voice.
"I'm sorry but I had a lot of work at the hospital." He apologized before stealing a little kiss from the woman.
"Okay, come on the dinner will be served." She ordered as she wrapped her arm around his.
The redhead dragged him to a large table in the middle, he made a gesture of greeting to everyone and sat on the empty chair on the left side of Nami, Robin was sitting to her right, after there was Sanji and his wife, then Franky, Chopper, the long-nosed boy Usopp with some blonde, and in the end Brook the singer.
The dinner went well, especially with the presence of Chopper who apparently is worshiping for Law, everyone was chatting quietly and having fun until a war broke out in a back table.
"Look where you eat dirty gluttonous!" A man shouted. "You fucked my jacket with the sauce."
"It's not my problem if you have giant arms!" A woman answered. "And don't speak to me in this tone, otherwise I'll explode you."
"We will see who will explode the other."
"Stop screaming."
"And you stop talking with your mouth full."
They continued to exchange insults until they changed places.
"Well done for them." Nami chuckled mischievously.
"You know them." The doctor suggested with a curious look.
"Unfortunately yes," She replied before taking a sip of her wine. "He is my ex boyfriend who cheated on me with her my ex friend."
"So you broke up after that?" He asked thinking of his current situation more than Nami's past.
"Of course, there is something that I do not tolerate and it is treason," The redhead explained honestly. "Speaking about that, we never talked about our past."
"Because I think it's not important, all that matters to me is the present." He said before being interrupted by Robin who caught the redhead's attention on something else, he was grateful for the other woman.
After dinner, the singer called all the couples on the track and of course, he was forcibly taken by his girlfriend.
"Before I start, I have a favor to ask you," Brook began talking through his microphone. "I ask all the women present to show me their panties, YO HO HO HO HO."
The Soul King received a series of dirty words and insults in response, that's why he started to sing quickly.
Nami placed her hands on the shoulders of Law while he wrapped his arms around her waist, they started to keep pace with the music with slow and subtle steps.
"I did not know you're a good dancer." The redhead laughed.
"There is a lot of things you do not know about me." The brown said frankly before he noticed he got into the mess.
"You are right," She murmured with a pensive grimace. "So tell me a little about yourself "
"What do you want to know?"
"Whatever," She rolled her eyes. "Things I do not know, for example tell me about your family."
"For my family, I have my mother, father and a little sister," He explained as he squeezed his hold on her. "And I'm in love with a sexy redhead."
"Oh no!"
"What's the matter?"
"My idiot ex boyfriend is dancing next to us." Nami informed him, he turned his head and saw Kid dancing with a brunette.
"Good evening ." the red-haired man greeted, because of him, they stopped dancing.
"Hello." The Brown replied as he kept his arms wrapped around Nami.
"What a coincidence to see you here doctor."
"Wait a second, how the hell do you know each other?" The redhead asked by casting a murderous look at Kid.
"Excuse us," Law interrupted the delicate moment. "We have a dance to finish."
"How do you know him?" The redhead questioned him as they walked away from the red haired man.
"He is the mechanic who repaired my car," He explained gently. "He wanted to provoke us, that's why I did not give him the opportunity."
She nodded as they resumed their dance.
Robin had spent the whole evening thinking about Marguerite's words, since Zoro had insinuated something about Law, she started to doubt the doctor, Nami was right the day she told her he was too perfect to be true.
When she saw the brown sitting alone while Nami danced with Chopper, she thought it was an opportunity to talk to him and share her doubts with him, because in this kind of situation, confrontation is the best solution.
She apologized to her dance buddy, Cavendish, one of Luffy's friends who did not hesitate to flirt with her, she had noticed that Zoro did not cease to glare at them.
She went to the table and sat next to Law, after a long moment of silence.
"I have something to ask you," The black haired began in an enigmatic tone. "I hope that you answer me sincerely."
"I'm listening to you." The doctor said, keeping his stoic expression.
"A few days ago, you wanted to break up with Nami, I want to know why?"
"What makes you say that?"
"Do not answer me with a question." Robin growled with a frown.
"All you need to know is that I love Nami and I will not hurt her." He explained as he watched the redhead dancing.
"I'm sure you're hiding something," She murmured before getting up. "It Can be a fiancée, who knows."
As she walked away from him, she noticed that he froze when he heard her last words, if he thought she was going to let go of the case, he was wrong, because she didn't want her best friend to suffer like her.
