Chapter 119: Clothes Shopping

While Alvida and Ben went to look for Luffy. Vivi led Kaya, Mikita, Honey, Nojiko and Marianne headed towards a clothing shop.

"I still am not sure why Ben insisted on clothes shopping," Nojiko said. 

"He is trying to take care of us," Mikita said. 

"I think it was kind for him to offer this," Vivi said. 

"He just wants to see us in new clothes," Honey said.

"Yes you are right, he has some perverted motive," Kaya said thinking about her nurse outfit. 

"Either way, Captain has given us an order to get some clothes," Mikita said. 

"I know but I feel a little guilty spending money on myself," Nojiko said. 

"Why?" Marianne asked.

"I don't know we should save the money for important things," Nojiko replied.

"Our happiness is important to Ben," Honey added.

"You are right here," Kaya reluctantly agreed.

"Yeah he has been looking out for us during these past days," Vivi said. 

"We should look into the brightside, its a Captain duty to take care of his crew and we would need appropriate clothes for the job," Mikita said. 

"Yes we should, it is important besides these clothes make me feel warm," Marianne added.

"Now you mention that this material is not for the desert," Kaya added.

"How much further to the shop?" Nojiko asked.

"It's right here," Vivi said as she pointed to a building. 

The building featured ornate geometric patterns and delicate arabesque motifs. A low, arched entrance could be seen from the front. A wooden door was carved with patterns reminiscent of sand dunes. Above the door was a series of brass wind chimes and hand-painted ceramic tiles. 

"Looks like a fancy shop," Kaya said. 

"It is expensive," Vivi added.

"Maybe we should go elsewhere," Nojiko said. 

"No, it looks like we will get the best quality here and HQ gave us a significant amount of money," Mikita said. 

"Yes and we want to hurry back," Honey added.

"Okay, let's go here then," Nojiko agreed. They entered the shop and saw various outfits.

"Let's split up and start buying what we like," Mikita said. The girls nodded and spread out. 

Vivi went for a blue and pink top and matching long skirt. Her belly was exposed. She also got a white cloak which made her look elegant and a necklace with red gems for her neck. She wore sandals which exposed her feet. She was happy with this outfit. 

Kaya then came around wearing a yellow lace trim dress. The knee-length dress featured lace trim accents on the collar and cuffs. The dress boasted a modest neckline, which exposed some of her cleavage and short sleeves. A slender belt cinches the coat at the waist, creating an hourglass shape. She wore yellow boots. 

"Looks nice," Vivi said. 

"Yes you look good as well," Kaya replied. 

Nojiko later came around wearing a blue peplum belted top & trousers. The top features lantern sleeves. While the peplum design cinches at the waist, emphasising Nojiko`s feminine hourglass shape. This was paired with the trousers which covered her legs. She wore blue mary janes shoes.

Behind Nojiko was Mikita who was wearing a yellow bra top, hip belt, and a long skirt. The bra top featured a sunny shade of yellow. The hip belt was adorned with shiny objects which hung on her waist. The long skirt flew gracefully to the floor with a free-spirited, relaxed drape. She has a yellow cloak to cover her. Mikita also wore yellow chunky heels. 

"We got matching outfits Vivi," Mikita said. 

Vivi smiled. "Yellow as well?" Kaya asked.

"Yes, it is my favourite colour." Mikita replied. 

"Mine as well," Kaya responded. 

As they were talking, Honey approached them wearing a dancing lingerie outfit which consisted of a delicate veil, bra, skirt, and T-pants. The veil draped over her body till the chest area starting from the head. The bra was designed with lace and satin and exposed a good amount of cleavage. The skirt, with its cascading layers of sheer fabric, fluttered sensually with each movement, teasing glimpses of her legs underneath. Completing the outfit, the T-pants covered her lower private parts. She wore slip-on shoes. 

"Looking good Honey," Mikita commented.

"Is it not a bit revealing?" Kaya asked. 

"It's not too dissimilar to mine or Mikita outfit," Vivi said. 

"Thank you," Honey nodded. Her outfit was a bit revealing and a bit seductive but she was happy with it. 

Lastly Marianne came. She was wearing a brown cargo utility crop top and brown safari shorts. The crop top covered her chest area but left her shoulder and belly exposed. This was paired with the safari shorts, which boasted a plethora of pockets. The shorts went to her knees. She was wearing knee high shoes. Marianne was also wearing a hat on her head. She also got a brown bag pack. 

"Cute," Honey said.

"All matching as well," Mikita commented.

"Yes and it has pockets so useful to carry things around," Nojiko added. 

"Okay, we should get another outfit incase," Mikita said. 

"I think we should head back," Nojiko suggested.

"Nojiko is right, we should get back to the ship and meet Ben to go after Crocodile," Vivi said.

"We will go after Crocodile," Kaya firmly said. 

"Fine, let go," Mikita said. They paid for their clothes and left the store. 

"This was fun," Kaya said. 

"Yes, I never went with the girls like this before," Vivi said.

"Neither have I, I would not been able to afford this," Nojiko said. 

 "Yes it was fun," Honey said. 

"I think Ben had the right idea of giving us some of our own time. For us girls to bond and mingle away in normal activities," Mikita commented.

"Our Captain is smart," Marianne said.

"He probably had some perverted idea," Kaya added. 

"Either way, we enjoyed ourselves today," Nojiko said. 

"Should we head back to the Miss Love Duck?" Marianne suggested. 

"I think we should," Nojiko said. 

"Ben might already be back," Viiv said. 

"What's going on there?" Honey pointed out. In the distance they could see flames and white smoke spiralling upwards in a tornado.

"Nothing good," Kaya said.

"Let's head back now," Mikita ordered. The girls nodded and they headed to the Miss Love Duck.
