Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

(I've slightly changed the timeline of Uta's debut, I hope you don't mind.)

UTA Concert: New Era! Opening soon! Live broadcast to the entire ocean, stay tuned!

Above the photo, there is a line of large characters.

"Ah! It's Miss Uta!" A scream rang out instantly, and Sanji, who had been calm just now, suddenly became excited and shouted:

"The most beautiful singer on the sea, oh, I feel like my heart is about to be hit!"

As he spoke, Sanji couldn't help but twist his body to form the shape of three letters:

"U-T-A! Miss Uta!!!"

This excited look naturally caused Zoro to mock him: "Boring."

"Huh?!" Sanji went berserk in an instant: "Damn swordsman, you dare to say that again? I'll roast you until you're charred on the outside and tender on the inside!"

"Just try it if you dare, you horny kappa!" Zoro was not willing to be outdone.

"Uta's concert. Kaya and I had agreed before that if Uta had a concert, we would go to see it together." Usopp also fell into memories.

"Concert? Live broadcast?" At this time, Chopper was also a little excited: "This is Uta's first concert. Before, I could only see it on the video phone mushi. I... I just..."

"Chopper is so excited." Meli was a little surprised. He had never heard of Uta's name.

"Speaking of which, Uta is the most fascinating singer in recent times, even though she has only debuted not long ago." Robin explained.

"Yohoho, although it is difficult for me as a soul singer to comment, Ms. Uta's singing is indeed fascinating." Brook also gave a fair evaluation.

"Ah, come to think of it, we haven't heard Uta's singing since we got on the ship." Nami suddenly remembered something.

"Need I say more?" Sanji heard Nami's words and suddenly said with great sorrow: "It's all because of that bastard Bai Ye. He forced us to train every day. We don't have time at all!!!"

"Indeed," Usopp stroked his chin, "After training every day, I just want to go back to my room and sleep, and completely forget about everything else."

"I...I haven't heard Uta sing since I left Sakura Island."

"Hey, can you blame me for this?" Bai Ye couldn't help but protest.

"Shut up! You're reminding me of the past again. Do you know what kind of life I had on the Shemale Island?! If it weren't for Ms. Uta's singing, I might never see Robin and Nami again!"

As expected of Sanji, while bringing up old grievances, he also took the opportunity to lick the two beauties on the boat.

"From now on, your drink will become bitter grass juice again until I forget about this!!!"

Bai Ye's mouth twitched and his face was full of question marks.

It's been such a long time!

While several people were arguing, Luffy was holding the flyer and lost in thought.

He stared at the girl in the photo and thought for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes wide:

"Ah! It's Uta! Has she really become the best singer? Hahaha, I really miss her."

Luffy's words caused the people around him to fall into silence.

until--

"Wait a minute!" Sanji suddenly rushed to Luffy: "From what you said, do you know Miss Uta?!"

"Hahaha, yes, we have known each other since we were very young." Luffy grinned and said, "We always compete with each other, but Uta always commits fouls."

As Luffy said this, he still showed a look of dissatisfaction.

"Isn't this childhood sweetheart?" Usopp's eyes widened: "Luffy, that guy, actually..."

"You bastard!" Sanji was even more angry: "Since you know Miss Uta, why don't you introduce her to me!!!"

"That's right!" Chopper also responded.

Luffy tilted his head with a puzzled look: "Huh? Didn't I tell you? Uta is Shanks' daughter. I met her on Shanks' ship."

The scene was stagnant for a few seconds, and then everyone exclaimed: "Huh?!!!"

"You guy, why do you always suddenly say something scary!" Sanji yelled.

"Miss Uta, is she actually the red-haired daughter of the emperor?" Brooke said.

"The hair is a bit similar. Could it be that Uta's mother has white hair?" Nami's focus was obviously shifted.

"Ah, come to think of it, I haven't heard of Redhead's wife. Could it be that Redhead is also a bastard who abandons his wife and children like my father?"

Usopp said seriously, causing Bai Ye to hold back his laughter.

It seems that even though Usopp admires his father, he knows that the other party has done him and his mother a great disservice.

"Now that Luffy knows Uta's identity, it's much easier to explain."

Seeing that the discussion was becoming more and more off-topic, Kuzan, who had taken out a flyer, finally couldn't help but interrupt.

If we really let these guys continue talking, we won't be able to talk about business.

Seeing everyone's eyes turned to him, Kuzan took out another letter and said, "Actually, this time it's not the Liaoyuan Army asking you for help, but Red-Haired Shanks specifically asked for your help."

"Eh? Shanks?" Luffy took the letter with some curiosity.

"Why doesn't he contact us directly?" Robin discovered the blind spot: "Wouldn't it be more convenient to contact us through Den Den Mushi?"

"Because they can't." Kuzan directly stated the reason: "More than ten days ago, the World Government had already conducted all-round monitoring of the Red Hair Pirates to prevent them from contacting the outside world. It was also due to various coincidences that they were able to contact us."

"As for the reason for looking for you, Shanks should have made it clear in the letter."

Kuzan looked at Luffy with a serious expression.

Although they had not read the letter, the information they had received from the Red Hair Pirates, plus the intelligence gathered by the Liaoyuan Army, indicated that if this incident was not handled properly, it would become a major event affecting the ocean and would likely cause the deaths of countless people.

As expected, Luffy's expression became much more serious.

"So that's how it is," he unfolded the letter and pointed it at his companions: "Everyone get ready to go, we are going to save Uta!"

Finished reading it so quickly?

Kuzan was a little confused. He didn't think this matter was so easy to explain.

Moreover, Kuzan glanced at the letter in Luffy's hand and thought that the number of words was too small.

But when Kuzan read the contents of the letter clearly, he was somewhat confused.

There were only a few lines scribbled on the letter:

[Luffy, long time no see. You have become a big shot on the sea recently, and your bounty is terrifyingly high. The stubborn little crybaby has now grown up, and Jesus Bu and the others have been talking about you a lot. When we meet again, we must hold a huge banquet to celebrate.

By the way, Uta has been in some trouble recently. If you have time, come to the Island of Music, Elegia. You can also listen to a concert by the way. Uta has been doing quite well recently.

—— Shanks. 】

Kuzan wanted to say something but stopped, and he tried hard not to complain.
