I do not own One Piece
A pure soul is like a fine pearl. As long as it is hidden in the shell, at the bottom of the sea, no one thinks of admiring it. But if you bring it into the sunshine, this pearl will shine and attract all eyes. Thus the pure soul, which is hidden from the eyes of the world, will one day shine before the Angels in the sunshine of eternity.
John Vianney
Chapter 4
Zoro stood upon a pedal stool that the designer had brought along with him and his team. So, it would be easier for them to work with their client's son and the lovely young lady. The lovely young lady the designer is planning to ask if she would become a model for him.
"So, how long will this take?" Zoro questions the designer as his two assistants move around quickly as they gather the supplies they will be needing as well as setting up the two samples they have brought with the color of vest to the dresses that might be chosen by the young lady.
"It will only take about an hour." Peppag informs the young man standing before him.
Zoro just grunts as Luffy returns from her bedroom wearing a pair of crimson pj shorts and a black crop top tank top. She grins at everyone. "Forgive me for taking up your time with me getting ready." She tells Peppag as she bows to the orange hair man standing before with a measuring tape wrapped around his neck as his black mirror sunglasses reflect her pure smile.
"It is fine my young Lady Lufia. You hadn't known the time we would be arriving and no one had taken time to wake you." Peppag told her with a smile on his face as he does his best to reassure the girl standing before him.
"Forgive me. I wanted to make sure her breakfast was ready before I had to wake her." Sanji grumbles from his coffee being held in his hands as he has already finished the pancakes, hash browns, french toast, bacon, as well as sausage.
Lufia's eyes widen with joy as little stars appear around her. "Is breakfast ready?" She questions with hope lacing her voice.
"Yes, my dear Lufia. All I request of you, is to tell me what kind of eggs you wish to have with your meal." Sanji tells her with a bow.
She giggles at him. "Could you make me some sunny side up eggs?" She questions him with hope, lacing her voice.
"As you wish ma belle dame." Sanji tells her with a bow as he twirls and heads back towards the kitchen.
Zoro rolled his eyes as he looked back down at a woman with orange hair measuring his inseam. She looks up at him with a slight blush and a smile on her face. He just frowns down at her as he looks away from her. 'What is it with that strange girl?' He mentally questions himself with annoyance.
"Pudding, our young master here is already spoken for. I do know you wouldn't last in a fight against his lovely girlfriend." Pappag tells the girl with a frown upon his own face just glaring at the girl.
A young blonde woman places her right hand upon Pudding's shoulder. "Allow me to take over." She tells her with a gentle smile.
Slightly puffing her cheeks out as her cheeks have a slight pink tint. From her being caught and scolded by her boss. "Fine, Camie." She grumbles out to the now named girl. She roughly shoves the measuring tape into Camie's hands and walks off.
Pappag keeps an eye on the girl. He just shakes his head. 'She is 19 years old and tells me she is mature and can hardly do any job. What she has just shown me today. Is that I will not be bring her no longer bring her to client homes. Mostly client homes with male clients.' He thought to himself and a heavy suffering sigh.
Luffy grins as she digs into her breakfast. Finishing it within minutes. Making Pappag's two assistants look at her with shock. "Thank you Sanji." She tells her friend with a giggle.
"I am just pleased my cooking berings a smile to your face, my dear Lufia." Sanji tells her with a large smile on his face.
Back with Zoro
"Are we almost finished?" Zoro questions as he grumbles to himself.
"Yes, the measurement's your father's former tailor had sent us your past measurements. It appears they have only changed slightly. As you have only grown over a foot. I had as well seen photos of you and took that into when I had created your suits. I would like to see which of the two would fit you the best. If any changes need to be made. I'll get it back to my shop and have you back your suit before the Hospital Ball." Pappag tells the greenette.
With a grunt Zoro nods his head to the designer.
Please take these two suits and see which will fit you the best and come out and show us. While you are changing. We will be taking Young Mistress Lufia's measurements." Pappag adds with a grin on his face.
"Very well." Zoro agrees as he takes the two suits from Camie as she smiles at him brightly. "Thank you." He grunts out towards the girl before him. With that said he takes the suits and heads towards his bedroom to change and dress.
Lufia comes bouncing over towards Pappag. "Thank you for taking time to come and do fittings for us." She tells him as she gives him an angelic smile.
Pappag moves towards Lufia as he is going to be doing her measurements himself as Camie has proven to be able to join himself once more on another house call. But, at this very moment Pudding will only be staying within his store. As she has proven to be too childish to come and work with client's private homes.
"If you would. I will be taking your measurements." Pappag tells the young ravenette.
She bounces upon the pedestal. "Just tell me how you would like me to stand." She chirps out.
"Alright. I would like you to stand shoulder width apart." Pappag instructs her.
She does as she is told as Pappag gives her a nod of approval.
Mihawk and Shanks sit on the couch watching everything going on. His eyes narrow upon Pudding as she stands against the wall with her arms crossed.
"We will need to do something about that girl." Mihawk growls out slightly as his golden eyes move towards Shanks.
"I do agree. I am glad we had all three of them sign an NDA." Shanks tells him with a smirk on his face as the orangette looks over to the two business men with a frown as she had heard the last part. Shanks smirks at her. "If that NDA is broken. Our lawyers will drown the person." He adds as his grin turns into a dark grin.
Pudding pales at hearing what the crimson hair man had just said as she had planned to make some trouble. But, Momma wouldn't be happy with her. Momma 's company is just slightly floating at the moment as she has lost business to Mr. Dracule and several others.
Mihawk just grins at her. Knowing that if she causes any trouble. He will skip her mother's company in a heartbeat. "She does know we will and shall sink her mother's company if she does anything against our children." He tells Shanks as his golden eyes never leave the girl.
"My dear Lufia, I do have a question for you." Pappag tells the girl with a smile upon his face.
Tilting her head to the right she smiles at him. "Sure." She answers him with a blinding smile.
Pappag swears her heart melting at just her pure smiles upon her face. "I would like to know if you would become one of my models." He asks her with a smile upon his own face.
She blinks at him owlishly. "Are you sure?" She questions him with slight confusion upon her face. "For I am not that graceful as well. I am too much of a tomboy." She tells him as she smiles at him.
"My dear girl. I do not care if you are not graceful. You are a fresh new face and you would take the modeling world by storm. For we need change, for the era of Boa Hancock needs to come to an end." Pappag tells her with a grin on his face.
Mihawk comes up walking behind the ravenette. "My dear. I believe you would have fun modeling as well as it would get you out of the office from time to time." He tells her, giving her a gentle smile.
She looks over towards him with a slight blush upon her chubby cheeks. "Do you really think so?" She questions him and blinks as a thought hits her. "But, what about the up and coming project?" She questions him once more.
Pappag speaks up. "I need you to come to my office sometime next week and then you will have some training on how to work a runway. I do want you to keep your innocent charm. So, I do not believe it will get away from your work. For it will be about 6 month before I have you walking any show. I will have a photoshoot with you with some of my new dresses as well as the dress you will be wearing as this fabric is new and no one out there has it. For I had it created just for myself." He tells her.
She gives him a beaming smile. "Then I believe that would work for me." She tells him as she takes his hands within her own.
"I am glad to hear that. I shall have my staff begin to remove all of Boa's photos from my shops and whatever photo's we are able to get of you before the Ball. They will be the one's replacing them." Pappag informs her as he grins at the idea of now cutting all ties to the snake of a woman.
"Here are the dresses. I do believe you will love the one with the gold woven within the fabric." Camie came up to her with the dresses in her hands.
"Thank you." Luffy shouted as she rushed to her room with Robin and Nami following behind her. As they know she will be needing aid with getting into the dresses.
As Luffy's door slams close, Zoro's door opens as he steps out of his bedroom wearing the second black suit that fits him the best with slight accents of gold. With the golden vest matching the dress he is hoping his new girlfriend will be wearing to the ball.
He heads into the living room where the others are awaiting him. As he stepped foot into the living room. All eyes are upon him. With Franky giving a low whistle at the sight of how the greenette looked in his suit. "Looking good brother." He told his friend.
Zoro smirks at the others within the living room. "Thanks. I do like how this one looks and how it fits well on me." He told them.
Pappag walks towards the young man. "Looking sharp. I am glad that I got your sizing right." He said grinning. "Photos with yourself and Lufia. Will launch my new line." He said grinning even larger.
"I have told you my son does clean up nicely." Mihawk said with a slight smirk on his face.
"That he does." Shanks said with a snort. "I guess I lost the bet." He adds as he pulls out his wallet and hands over several hundred dollars to the other man.
The front door flies open as Mihawk's daughter comes into the house. "So what have I missed?" She questions grinning as her pink eyes land upon her brother. "Looking sharp bro." She tells him, grinning.
He turns to look at her. "Thanks." He tells her with the same smirk their father always uses.
"Well Luffy is getting dressed. You might want to go and join her and the other girls." Zoro tells her as he grins.
WIth that said Peronia runs towards Luffy's bedroom. The door opened and closed quickly with a squeal being heard coming from his sister.
"Well, you will keep the suit here until the Ball and I have a suit bag already for you." Pappag tells him.
"Alright, I'll change once Luffy sees how I look and what dress she has chosen." Zoro tells him as his eyes move towards the hallway leading to the bedrooms as he hears the door opening. Out steps Lufia. The first thing that he spots is the black stiletto heel as his eyes move up her leg, as the trumpet style floor length dress has a high slit going up her right thigh. The black with gold woven within hugs her hips brings out her hourglass figure and the bust she always hides behind baggy tops and jackets. With off-the-shoulder short sleeve backless dress.
The girls had pulled Lufia's hair up into a bun with a black diamond chair clip with black diamond earrings paired with a black diamond choker along with a matching ring. All the jeweler has gold matching the dress.
Mihawk arches his raven brow. "Did you bring one of the family's jewelry sets along with you, Peronia?" He questions his daughter as she walks out of the girls bedroom.
Peronia looks over towards her father. She gives him a smug smirk. "Yes, I did. I had called Pappag here about what color of dresses I would be working with and no matter which dress she has chosen. It would match either dress." She tells her father with a grin.
"A wise choice for her dress." Mihawk tells his daughter.
Luffy walks towards Zoro with a bright smile upon her face. "What do you think?" She questions him as she twirls around as he is able to see all angles.
"You look beautiful." Zoro tells her as he is blushing as the tips of his ears turn a bright pink.
She blushes looking up at him. Her bright sparkling eyes look at him through her eyelashes. "Thank you." She tells him.
Pappag's jaw drops open. "It fits you perfectly." He tells her as he walks up towards her. "Camie, bring me my camera." He calls to the blonde as she has been the only one knowing she is the only one he will be able to trust.
"Yes, sir. Mr. Pappag." She calls to him as she grabs his camera bag and brings it to him as she knows better than to open it and pull it out herself.
"Please go to that white screen I had set up. Just in case I needed photos of how you would look if I had to do any changes." Pappag tells the two.
"Alright." Zoro answers as he offers Lufia his arm. "Shall we?" He tells her with a smile on his face.
"We shall." Lufia answers him as she takes his offered arm. They walked over to where they had been told to stand.
Well next chapter the games being. Will Boa handle it well when she sees she has been replaced as Pappag's model as well as what will be happening during the ball?
