A cool wind blew through the desert city of Zarzara. Finally! She had arrived! Ikra had come well in advance of Pesha and Demitri, so that they could do whatever they needed to do while she established herself as a presence on Zarzara. In truth, Ikra was just endlessly excited to be somewhere other than the Bliss Kingdom. She flitted around the streets, from stall to stall, eyes sparkling with unbridled excitement. All of the people! All of these things! It was absolutely incredible! And, of course, everyone’s eyes seemed to Ikra like they were on her, which she loved.
She was wearing dark red today, a striking color that jumped out against her pale skin, embroidered with gold. She also had a bunch of golden jewelry adorning her, graciously gifted to her by the sweet people of Bliss before she’d sailed away. She had a bralette top which revealed most of her torso and a long skirt that was the color of flames. She wore simple red shoes to match and that protected her feet from the hot sand. She also had a long scarf in the style of the skirt that she could use as a shawl or head covering to protect her fair skin from the sun.
The interesting part about her wardrobe, however, was that it sparkled as if adorned by thousands of tiny gems. In reality, Ikra had just used her Devil Fruit ability to create small bits of pearl that sparkled in the sunlight. She’d also decorated her hair with several pearls scattered throughout her jet black locks. She hummed happily to herself as she leaned over a market stall, looking over fruits that she’d never seen before.
“What’s this one?” she asked the vendor, pointing to one of the fruits.
“Ah… that is a papaya, miss. Very delicious, I assure you.”
“Oooh,” Ikra cooed, reaching for a small pouch on her belt. It was the spending money that Demitri had allotted her. “How much is it?”
The vendor smiled and rubbed their hands together. Even with as beautiful as she was, they wouldn’t hesitate to swindle her out of everything she had.
