Wrapping Paper

Robin~chan! Thank-you for the necklace! Just got it in the mail finally! <3

But I really have to ask. Crocodile wrapping paper? Why? Isn't that a little... strange? Cute though:

And I have no idea what to do with the erasers. Even if they're cute too:

If you're trying to send a message, it's unecessary. I got it. Jeez.

Also between this and Father's Day it got me wondering. There's thousands of types of wrapping paper with some strange, sometimes cute designs. Anyone have a favorite? Do you guys just use whatever's cheap/handy or get something personal for the person it's for, or personal coming from you?

Her name was Muse.

She was only 21 when I came to this time; they thought me dead. She was strong and willing to see the truth when I refused to.

I am told that she led a long life despite the war that tore us all apart.

I am; I cherished her above all things on that island.

The truth of why Norland and his men cut down our sacred trees. It is a long story.

Four hundred years ago, a war broke out when half our island was sent into the Sky Islands. The Skypieans invaded our homeland and took it in the name of their god.

Very well.

My people were suffering from a disease known as Tree Fever; we thought it to be a curse brought on us by our angry gods. It killed hundreds of our men, women, and children before Norland arrived on our shores.

We were about to perform a ritualistic sacrifice of a maiden's blood to the gods when he struck down Kashigami, our god, and demanded it be stopped.

He was able to heal our people of this illness, but the problem with Tree Fever is that it affects plants as well as people. In order to completely heal us, he had to cut down every plant, every tree, that was infected.

He cut down a grove of trees sacred to us; our legends say that when the Golden Bell is rang, it brings the spirits of our ancestors back to the island, and they were to reside in these white trees.

We were not aware of this when it happened; so great was my anger that I would have killed Norland if I had seen him! But only Muse, strong and wise as she was, went to him to learn the truth.

Eneru? Hrm. I know the name; he was defeated by Luffy? A false god?

I do not know if he was the god from four hundred years ago.

Yes; she was to be the third. After the blood of the first two did not appease...the priest thought that perhaps the blood of the daughter of the Great Warrior would.

The 'god' I battled was a large man with a beard. He smoked a cigar.

Only one.

Not long ears. Long ears?

Yes, Muse.

By saving our village, Norland was able to spare her life as well.

Fujiko, I ordered my daughter to take her own life. It was...the most horrible thing I have ever done.

...

As for god, no, that is not the god I faced.

It is nothing to feel sorry for; she forgave me and I will always care for her.

I do, but I do not worry about it. I will see her again.

I do. One day I, too, will join my ancestors and heed the call of the Bell.

For now, though, I am content to live.

Muse did not say where the spirits were residing; I suppose that is part of the adventure.

Seastone bullets alone will not work. you must bring the rain with you. Water is what prevents him from being able to become sand.

Make sure he cannot escape, and attack from afar.

Use your brain. I know you are an intelligent woman.
