One Piece: Starting as a Marine Lieutenant, I Slack Off and Get Stronger

"Boss, she, she, she's Shanks' daughter? Should we retreat?"

"Coward! What are you afraid of? She's Shanks' daughter! The underworld would definitely pay a fortune for her!"

Uta's fans were somewhat disappointed because they knew that Uta hated pirates the most, but she was the daughter of a pirate, and the daughter of Shanks, who was known as the Emperor of the Sea.

For the inhabitants of Aregia, the feelings were even more complicated. Long ago, it was Shanks and his men who raided Aregia.

Karl smiled. He wasn't surprised by the result, but Ian was astonished. She couldn't understand how Uta could be Shanks' daughter.

Is it because her hair has a bit of red?

Compared to Ain's surprise, Hancock seemed quite calm. Who is Shanks? Does he have anything to do with her?

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, a gunshot shattered the silence.

"I never imagined that Shanks, one of the Emperors of the Sea, would have a daughter!"

A group of pirates with ill intentions came directly onto the stage, staring menacingly at the seemingly harmless Uta.

As for the new Emperor Luffy, sorry, who is he? I don't know him.

"So, you're Shanks' biggest weakness?"

"Hehehe, now you're worth even more, Miss Uta."

A man who appeared to be the leader brandished a long sword and shouted excitedly, "That's about it! The concert is over!"

Whoosh whoosh~

Sanji, Brook, Zoro, and the others were the first to rush out.

"You bunch of guys, I'll handle you! Uta-chan, I'll definitely protect you!"

Nami shook her head: "Those guys are really enthusiastic!"

"Are we going?"

"Forget it, Robin, they can handle it."

Robin nodded slightly and slowly walked to Karl, who was flanked by two women: "Karl, are you really just here for a vacation? Aregia Island holds something extraordinary!"

Carl turned to Robin: "How did you know... I almost forgot you're a historian."

"Well, how should I put it? Let's wait and see! If everything goes well, I'll be relaxed. If things get worse, then I'll have to cut my vacation short."

"However, I always feel that nothing good can come from meeting you guys."

Upon hearing this, Robin smiled. Carl was really humorous... Wait, it seems quite possible.

After all, what storms haven't they weathered on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship?

But thinking of the rumors about Aregia Island, Robin still asked with some worry, "Could something really have happened?"

Carl shrugged. "Who knows?"

While Robin and Carl were talking, Ain stared at Robin with her big blue eyes, blinking rapidly. Hancock was right; Carl and she were indeed very close.

bang bang bang~

The stage was a lively scene, with everyone displaying their unique talents, and Karl watched with great interest.

The Jellyfish Pirates, who wanted to kidnap Uta, are obviously not very capable. Compared to the Straw Hat Pirates, they wouldn't even be eating at the kids' table; they'd be sitting at the same table as the dogs.

However, the only thing that puzzled Karl was whether it was necessary to mobilize all the main forces of the Straw Hat crew to deal with a third-rate pirate crew.

Even if there were ten more, it probably wouldn't be enough for them to share.

Looking at the bustling stage, Uta shook his head helplessly, showing no fear or panic on his face.

"Okay, that's it!"

"Thank you for protecting me, but please stop arguing. You are all my fans, so please enjoy this concert!"

Usopp asked, puzzled, "But Princess Uta, we're doing this to protect you!"

“Yeah, right! Besides, they’re not the kind of guys you can just talk your way out of!" Franky chimed in.

"Hmph! That's true. If you want something, you have to take it with your own hands. That's what pirates are all about!!!"

Uta smiled slightly: "Then don't be a pirate. I'll forgive you for all the bad things you've done before!"

"Listen to me, everyone else, stop being pirates and doing evil. Come with me and live in a world full of happiness!"

"As long as I sing, everyone can live in peace and happiness..."

These words immediately drew laughter from the Jellyfish Pirates.

"Miss Uta, are you naive or just stupid? There's no such thing as peace in this world."

The Jellyfish Pirate Captain held a knife to Uta's neck and laughed cruelly, "Stop it, all of you! Uta is my trophy. Anyone who dares to move her will have their throat slit!"

"Uta!" "Damn it!"

Uta put her hands on her hips and gently blew on the hair on her forehead: "It's okay, everyone came because they like my songs, right?"

“o(￣ヘ￣o＃), we’re pirates, we don’t have time to listen to music, we have to do big things.”

Uta sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "There's really no other way. Well then, let you all turn into songs!"

Hey~

As the background music began, golden light gathered on Uta's body, transforming into armor.

The lyrics go: "Come on! I'm not afraid, my heart is at peace, my dream is everyone's wish, as long as I sing, I feel happy..."

"It doesn't matter, I am the strongest!"

After singing these lyrics, Uta completed her transformation. She was now encased in golden armor, like the Knight of Hearts from a fairy tale—yes, she was made of gold.

Then, she became the queen of the stage, and as she sang, she hung all the pirates who wanted to kidnap her on the wall, or more precisely, on the musical staff in the sky.

The song wasn't even finished yet.

Ain's expression turned serious: "The Song-Song Fruit, is it really that versatile?"

Clearly, she was surprised by the strength that Uta had shown. How could a songstress possess such power? No wonder she wasn't flustered at all when the pirates tried to kidnap her. Was she just fearless?

However, the only thing that puzzled her was what Uta had said earlier.

How should I put it? It's a bit cringey...

Watching Uta interact with her fans, Karl couldn't help but sigh, "What an amazing ability! It's just a pity that she seems to have some mental issues."

Ain's eyes lit up: "You think so too?"

"Naively stupid, well... the kind of stupid that comes from never having seen the world."

Chapter 342 Wait and see what happens

"So that means she's difficult to deal with?"

Karl shook his head: "It's not hard to deal with, but it's very troublesome. There's a saying that goes, you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. This is pretty much the case with this songstress."

Ain frowned, looking at the tens of thousands of fans around her: "What should we do? If an accident really happens, evacuating the public will be a big problem."

Tsk~

This isn't a question of whether or not to evacuate!

Carl scratched the back of his head, looking a bit of a headache. "Let's see! If it really doesn't work, we'll just call in reinforcements."

"Everyone! The evil pirates have turned into a joyous song. We are safe now, so please rest assured!"

"Oh oh oh~" "Uta!"

Soon, the surrounding sky closed again, and the sky darkened instantly, giving off a concert vibe.

"Everyone, I have some good news to share. I've always announced my concerts via video Den Den Mushi, but that format makes me sleepy."

"Here, I assure you all that this situation will soon be over, but today's concert has no time limit and will never end! That's right! I will be with you all forever and ever!"

"Whether you're watching the live stream or coming to the venue to support us, let's have a blast!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous cheers erupted in the hall.

"UTA!" "Uta!"

It rose and fell, one after another, without end.

However, Karl's face instantly turned ugly. Uta's bold words just now seemed to be true. Was she still going to carry out that plan?

"Honey, what's wrong? Did something upset you?"

Carl glanced at Hancock's belly, took a deep breath, and said, "You guys should leave first! Proceed with the original plan; conflict is unavoidable now."

"why?"

Ain patted Hancock on the shoulder: "Sister Hancock, Karl won't say anything nonsense. You're pregnant now, your health is the most important thing. What if something unexpected happens in this world..."

Hancock's expression immediately changed: "I understand, mua, darling, be careful."

Karl patted Hancock and Ain's pert buttocks and instructed, "I'll stay in this world for a while. Wake me up in half an hour."

"no problem!"

"Wait, whatever you do, don't watch Uta's live stream, or all your efforts will be wasted."
