The Mark of the Straw Hats

8|Nami's Point of View (3 minutes later)

     After we had met that nice mom, Sanji suggested that we split up. Of course, since Robin was the smartest out of all of this crew of idiots, she decided who everyone was teamed up with. In the end, she was paired with Chopper, Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp were in a group, and  I was in a group with Luffy. 

     "I don't want to be with that idiot wo is supposedly my soulmate!" I had argued, but Robin just smiled slyly, and I had the feeling she had paired us up on purpose.

     It had only been three minutes since we split up, exploring this "Island Lovely" and Luffy had already bought 300,000 berries worth of meat, so I suggested we go to the other shops where there wasn't food. In the end, we spotted a nice spa place called "Riri's Magical Spa!" and had decided to rest there. Of course, the only reason as to why Luffy agreed was because to him the logo kind of looked like a hunk of meat, so he thought that it was a spa that gave out free meat.

     "Welcome to Riri's Magical Spa!" a woman had exclaimed as we entered the building, wearing a pastel pink tag decorated with leaves and roses that said, 'Mary' and dancing around as if she was at a theatre, "What type of massage would you like today? Or would you like some love advice from our love expert, the manager herself, Riri?"

     "Um, we just came here to rest for a bit, so we won't be buying anything today!" I replied, thinking about all of those berries Luffy had wasted and how much all the other stuff here probably cost, "But thanks for the suggestion!"

     "Oh, don't worry sweetheart, everything here is free!" Mary said sweetly, then, without any warning, took me and Luffy by the hand and said, "You two lovebirds look like you need some love advice to help blossom that puppy love! I'll take you to Riri right away as V.I.P.s, since, if I'm not mistaken, this is the notorious Monkey D. Luffy here, and we respect pirates as much as anyone!"

     She took us into a room and all of a sudden, all of the noise from outside and from the other rooms just completely silenced, and all I could hear was the trinkling of some water coming out of what looked like a water fall. I looked around the room. It had two beds -one pink and one blue- the floor was really soft, there were two pairs of cozy looking slippers in front of us, the wall paper (or at least I thought it was wallpaper) looked  like a forest, and sitting in between the two beds on the floor stood a blonde teen girl who was wearing a Komodo and had her hair tied up in a bun.

     "Welcome to Riri's Love Advice!" the girl said in a bright, yet calm voice, "My name is Riri, and I'll be your love expert today!"

     "Um, hello, Riri," I said, unsure of what to do and where to go since Mary had secretly left, "I think we're in the wrong place, so we'd like to leave."

     "Don't worry, young lady!" Riri exclaimed happily, "I ate the Jikan Jikan no mi fruit, which allows me to manipulate time, so if you spend eternity here, it'll only seem like 30 minutes outside of this room!"

     Unsure if I should be happy or nervous about this information, I look over at Luffy to find thin air. I groaned. Knowing him, he was probably searching for more meat to eat! I decide to stall for time, at least until I found Luffy.

     "S-So, Riri," I chuckled nervously, "What type of love advice do you give out?"

     "It depends on the couple," she said with a twinkle in her eye, "And if you're looking for your little captain, don't worry, he's right here."

     She pointed to the blue bed, and sure enough, Luffy was lying there, happily gulping down a bucket of meat, which I guessed Riri gave him.

     "Luffy, you idiot!" I said, tempted to march over there and bonk him on the head, "It's obviously a trap! Why did you agree?!"

     "She told me that if I cooperated and did what she told me to then she'd give me a lifetime supply of meat," he said, pointing at a chunk of meat he was chewing, then smiled and said, "Come on! It's not like we have anything to do! It'll be fun!"

     I glared at Riri. I did not trust her, no matter how young or sweet she seemed. At least until she made me a little bargain.

     "Assuming you're his navigator, Nami," Riri said, shocking me to know she knew my name, "Let's make a little deal, like I did with your captain."

     "What type of deal?" I said, slightly interested at the thought of money.

     "If you cooperate and do what I say in the love advice, I'll give you 999.999 billion berries," she said, peaking my interest to the max.

     "It's a deal!" I exclaimed, smiling, "Let's start!"
