Everyday Life with the Straw Hats
Mariejois arc: part 10: Foreshadowing of the "Will"
"The official paperwork is finally complete" Ms. Smith said as she took a sip from her coffee, "Miia and Centorea are now officially home-stay guests of this residence, and you nine individuals are officially their hosts until further notice."
"YAAAY!" Miia shouted as she once again wrapped up Luffy within her tail and tightly embracing him with love. "now that we are officially living together darling, its almost as if we're…married." Miia whispered into Luffy's ear, but of course Luffy is not at all picking up on her romantic hints…no matter how obvious they are.
"If you say so Miia…hey! We should all go out to eat and celebrate! I could really go for some meat right about now." Luffy declared with his a big enthusiastic grin on his face.
"Great idea darling! Then maybe afterwards Nami, Robin, Centorea, and I could go shopping." Miia suggested.
"I like the way you think Miia, a girl can never have enough clothes." Nami stated with her hands on her hips. Already beginning to think of what fashion is trendy at the moment. "By the way Miia…I would love to know where you got those "D" shaped hair clips. They look absolutely beautiful." Asked Nami.
Miia seemed genuinely pleased by the compliment. "Thank you, but I'm afraid these hair clips can't be bought anywhere."
Nami's face saddened a little bit at that statement, "Oh that's a bummer, but then how did you get them?"
"Well you see," Miia began. "These hair clips represent something very special back in my home village."
"Oh…so it's a cultural thing?" Nami asked in curiosity.
"Kind of but not exactly, these hair clips symbolize something unique to my home village specifically."
"How so?" Robin asked as she took a closer seat.
Miia replied, "have you ever heard of….The Will of D?"
