Law's POV!
I look over a few papers, spotting today's date on one of them.
'Taiga, age: 5 DOB: December 6' that was today! I pondered if we should have a party for her seeing as she was still a kid and a new member, honestly I haven't had one in awhile.
"Captain, breakfast.", Bepo says, leaning into my room from my unlocked door.
"Bepo, today is Taiga's birthday.", I say casually, waiting for his reaction which was bound to be delayed.
"That's nice... WAIT WHAT?!?", he exclaims loudly, waking up the passing Penguin who was being dragged by Satchi down the hall.
"WAZZAT?!?", he asks, shooting up from Satchi's shoulder to look around blearily.
"Taiga's birthday is today!", Bepo somewhat shouts, catching other passing crew mates' attention.
"Let's have a vote, party or no party?", I order, catching everyone's attention.
"All in favor of having a party for Taiga say I, all those opposed say nigh!", I explain, most say I including Bepo only Jean Bart saying Nigh mostly because he really didn't know Taiga yet.
"It's a party then, good thing we're at an island. After breakfast head out and grab supplies for the party and anything we need as well, me and Bepo will provide a distraction for now. Penguin! Satchi! There will be a meet up place to hand off Taiga so we can get her gifts, it'll be at a stand so keep in touch with a snail.", I order, everyone agreeing and rushing off to breakfast besides me, I head off to wake up Taiga herself. Soft snores ring out from her slightly open door, easily being drowned out by my loud crew.
"Taiga, wake up.", I say bluntly, walking up to what I thought was her on her bed. It turns out she was sleeping on her desk again, it's bad for her neck and back.
"Taiga, breakfast come on.", I say louder, she stirs somewhat and almost falls off the desk had it not been for me.
"Damnit Taiga, wake up.", I bark, kind of annoyed at her sleeping form.
"Huh? Wazzat? L-law? W-what happened? Miza tired...", she says softly, peering around blearily before closing her eyes again and cuddling into my chest.
"Well, I guess she can sleep for now.", I huff, carrying her to the dinning room where everyone almost immediately shuts up after spotting us.
"She's out cold, won't wake up and can't make her.", I explain simply, she just snores on as everyone eats quietly.
"I'll hold her while you eat Captain.", Bepo says, taking her as my plate is placed in front of me.
"Thanks Bepo.", I reply, tucking into to the breakfast. Breakfast is eaten quickly as the others scurry out to grab supplies, including me and Bepo, only to be met with heavy rain on the island. She was easy to distract, a library claimed most of her interest alongside the bakery nearby and a small pet shop holding nothing bigger than a dog which she wanted to draw. Of course this was after she woke up, the rain pattering from our shared umbrellas onto her somewhat.
"L-Law, I'm th-thirsty.", she says, her stomach grumbling alongside her as we walk over to the town square.
"There's a hot cocoa stand nearby, lets grab some.", Bepo says, pointing to the aforementioned stand.
"Y-yay! Hot c-cocoa!", she exclaims happily, almost falling from my arms. We buy some hot cocoa, getting some extra as Penguin and Satchi walk up as planned.
"Oh hey captain.", Penguin greets, waving slightly.
"P-perfect timing, P-Penguin-San, Satchi-San, have some hot c-cocoa.", Taiga says, handing over the two extra cups.
"Thanks Taiga, it is kinda cold today.", Satchi says, taking a sip from the steaming cup.
"N-no p-problem.", she replies, sipping from her own drink. We sit around for a bit, finishing the drinks easily before chit chatting a bit.
"Hey Taiga, you wanna hang out with us? We can check out the forest near here.", Penguin asks, tossing his cup in the trash nearby.
"I d-don't kn-know, w-will th-there b-be m-monsters?", she asks timidly, shrinking somewhat.
"I don't think so, if there are we'll protect you!", Satchi says, tossing his own cup away as well.
"O-okay... see y-ou L-Law, B-Bepo- San.", she says before Satchi takes her from my arms and heads for the forest with Penguin in tow.
"Alright, lets head to that bookstore.", I order, our cups thrown away in the trash.
"Aye captain.", Bepo says, following me to the nearby bookstore I was surprised Taiga hadn't seen yet. Inside, we get a bunch of paper, ink pens, and other coloring things before heading back to the sub to wrap them up and set up. Along the way I find a newspaper article about the straw hats whereabouts, deciding to take it back and wrap it up as well after reading it of course.
"Alright what have we bought?", I ask, setting down the gifts on the dinning room table.
"We have a cake, decorated as such however it's a special rice substitute for you captain, streamers, a large banner, balloons, and confetti, overall as much as we need.", Ikkaku-ya lists, pointing to the mentioned item sitting upon the table or strewn about.
"Good, we have some presents for her, easily wrapped or gift bagged.", I say quickly, already pulling out the things needed to do so.
"I want a team set to put up the banner across the bannister here, another to set up balloons, they don't need to float, and another setting up the streamers and confetti.", I order swiftly, Bepo helping me with the wrapping and tape...
