Chapter 25: Hina's birthday.

'Eh, it's a birthday ?'

"Edam say Hi to them." he said putting his hand on Edam's head.

" Hello !" Edam replied with his right hand in the air while facing every person around the table with a little smile.

As he said that, someone came in front of him and said.

"Oh, hello boy, what is your name ?" it was a slender woman with red lipstick who asked. She had long curly black hair that is tied back, and a mole on the right side of her face below her mouth.

She seems to be twenty years old and wore normal civilians clothes, just like any of them eating at the table by the way.

Hearing the question, Edam looked at her and said " My name is Monkey D. Edam, Miss ! " a smile was visible on his face when he said that.

"Uwaaah...you're so cute and polite." She said that while pinching his cheeks. As she was leaning forward to pinch his cheeks, her beautiful cleavage was revealed in all of it's splendor to Edam, but the latter couldn't careless about it.

' Truly a pity...' that was the thought of some men that were looking.

"Oh so it's Edam-chan...Don't you know me ?, I'm your grandma Tsuru's little sister Gion, she never talked about me before ?"

"Euhh...Nope." The little monkey replied innocently.

"Ehhh ?! She never talked about me ?" The shock was evident as she said that.

" Nope..." He said that while shaking his head with an innocent look on his face.

" How is that-..." Stunned by that she want to say something but before she finished, a loud and powerful sound came in front of her.

"Gwraouh, Gwraouh !!!"

Everyone in the room suddenly looked toward the source of the sound.

Edam became shy and just rubbed the back of his head while laughing a bit.

It was obviously Edam's stomach trying to make itself heard by all. And it did worked really well it seems as everyone laugh out loud.

"Pfff...Hahahaha..."

"Hahaha...."

"Bwahahahaha..." Garp who was at a table eating laughed too.

"Hahaha...Oy pretty woman his stomach is telling you to leave him alone hahahaha..." a man with an angular jawline, thin eyes, and a sharp nose said to Gion as he laughed out.

Hearing him Gion lash out " Shut up Tokikake !" she said angrily. Her attitude completely change as it turn into complete annoyance in an instant.

She then turned to Edam while smiling again and saying " Anyway, come with us, Edam-chan, today is the birthday party of our cute Hina." She said while dragging Edam toward the table where all the people present were sitting at, drinking and eating happily.

"Really ?! even though I'm not invited ?" Edam asked. He really want to eat but he was a bit shy to entered a party like that withtout being invited.

"Of course you can, right Hina ?" Hearing him Gion asked to a tall and slim woman with straight, waist-length pink hair that she wears in a middle part. She had dark brown eyes and wears no lipstick whatsoever.

"Humm... Hina doesn't mind." Hina nodded replied quietly and stoically while talking to the third person.

" See ?" Gion pull him by the hand and led him to their table.

"Uh... Okay then thank you very much and happy birthday Hina-neechan !" Edam said and smiled happily.

Hearing him said that Hina's stoic face was stunned for a moment before her face revert back to normal.

She then said with a stoic face " Thank you..."

Edam then assault the food like a hungry monkey. He even used his tail to eat more rapidly to not waste time.

After making about everyone acquaintance, he continued to eat the food as fervently as before.

The party went well without any trouble as laughter and foods were present throughout the party. At last, a huge cake was send in the middle of the party by the chef and his commis chefs to celebrate Hina's birthday.

She then blew her cake as the party continued happily.

Even Sengoku and Tsuru came at the end to see Hina and wished her a happy birthday.

One came late because of work and the other because she didn't wanted to come too early maybe.

------------------------------------------

Next day.

" Yaaaaawn...!" Edam yawn loudly as he woke up and stretch his body. Even his tail stretch itself.

"Ah, you're awake...you can make your food, I've asked the chef last night to send food here so that we won't have to always move to eat." Garp who was already up said with his usual smile while he put on his vice-admiral cloak as he was going to go.

"Oh, Okay, see you later !" Edam said while waving his hand.

"What should I do now...?"

"Ah, I know...First is a breakfast and then..."

He then ate a delicious breakfast made of Eggs, beacons and onions accompanied with rices. And of course he cooked a lot and then swept it all in his little but seemingly endless belly.

He then began to repaired the poor garden who has suffer under his foot as well as the poor walls who had suffer from his head.

It took him an entire day as the garden was rather big and devastated.

And he wasn't born knowing how to make to make wall and such so... he just did his best.

After that he took a bath and then lied down on the couch relaxingly while reading a comics.
