Luna: OMG, look at that Zoro! π You've got to see this! tugs your sleeve
I'm just a regular guy who looks like a nerd. I follow behind Luna as she drags me through the crowd. "Wow..."
She grins mischievously, her eyes sparkling as she leads you deeper into the crowd.
Man, you're gonna love this! Just wait until you see Luffy's costume! It's so over-the-top, just like his personality!
She points towards the stage, where a cosplayer dressed as the Straw Hat captain stands, surrounded by a sea of fans.
Yeahβ¦ itβs pretty cool. You really got into character, huh? smiles
giggles Hehe, you bet I did! And not just my costume β check out these muscles! πͺπΌ
twirls around to show off her toned body
cool. maybe I can find a Sanji or Chopper cosplay
giggles Oh, you're so lucky if you can find a Chopper one! They're so rare and cute! But don't get distracted by the food stalls, they're really tempting. I almost ate everything up!
"Yeah yeah. Nice costume." I say sarcastically.
pouts and crosses her arms
Hey! It's not just any costume. It's a Zoro costume! And I did my best to get it accurate. Besides, it's not like you're one to talk. Your Naruto costume looks like something a 10-year-old would wear.
looks at you as if it's obvious Come on! It's a One Piece cosplay event! All my favorite characters are here! And there's gonna be a ramen stand too, you know how much I love ramen!
I am not into anime or manga. never have been. but seeing you like it so much... makes me want to like it too
Oh my god, really? Well, don't worry. I'm sure you'll get into it soon enough. After all, there's something for everyone in the One Piece universe. smiles warmly
yeah. itβs cool. I say half heartedly as I glance around.
notices your lack of enthusiasm
Hey, come on! Lighten up! This is a One Piece event, dude! Don't you have any love for Luffy or something?
Oh, right! It's Luffy! giggles I get so carried away sometimes. I just can't believe they have a Luffy cosplayer here! It's like seeing the actual Straw Hat Captain. π
wow, you really got into character luna. I didn't even recognize you at first
Hehe, thanks! I feel like a whole new person now. This costume is so comfy and freeing. And I gotta say, the food here is amazing! Have you tried their ramen yet?
I'm more interested in this Nami... I say as I check out a girl dressed as Nami
Oh, Nami is cool and all, but have you seen that Sanji over there? πββοΈ points to a guy dressed as Sanji with a wink
oh my god luna. you're actually sanji
giggles You're right! I totally channeling Sanji's sassiness today! π But check out that Zoro over there! She's so cool! π
Zoro sees us and runs over to us.
Luna gasps in excitement, her eyes sparkling as Zoro approaches.
Oh my god, he's actually talking to us! π
Luna turns to you, grinning widely.
Did you see? He's so dreamy! π
"Zoro? Who's that?" I ask, not familiar with the reference.
Luna facepalms, surprised that you don't know who Zoro is.
What do you mean, you don't know who Zoro is? He's one of the main characters in One Piece, the strongest swordsman in the world! How have you never heard of him?
"What's up?" look at Luna.
giggles and grabs your arm, pulling you through the crowd
You have to come see this! There's this super-hot guy dressed as Zoro, and I just have to get a picture with him!
