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

Nami walked over and asked with a smile, "Um, how did you two meet?"

"Oh, Uta came to Windmill Village with Shanks and the others..."

Luffy then recounted the story of how he met Uta and Shanks 12 years ago.

At that time, Uta and Shanks had a good relationship...

In this situation, Carl couldn't help but recall his glorious past. Back then, he was just a junior lieutenant in the 109th branch of the Navy. Now, looking at himself, he realized that he had been in the Navy for almost 20 years!

"By the way, Uta, why did you suddenly disappear?"

Chopper asked curiously, "Suddenly disappeared? What does that mean?"

Luffy rubbed his temples, trying hard to remember, "I remember, back then I was looking forward to Shanks and the others coming back every day, but then one day... Uta suddenly disappeared..."

Shanks told me that Uta disembarked to become a singer.

At this point, Luffy asked, "By the way, Uta, why don't you want to be a pirate anymore? I remember you used to love the Red-Haired Pirates the most, didn't you?"

A hint of disgust flashed in Uta's eyes: "Because I've discovered that I prefer being a singer. I've only been singing for two and a half years, and people all over the world have become my fans. Don't even mention me, Luffy, what are you doing now?"

"Of course, it's pirates!"

Uta's face darkened, and he muttered under his breath, "Pirates..."

"Yes! I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

"Hey, Luffy, quit being a pirate and come live happily with me here!"

Robin and Nami's expressions changed, and they both looked at Karl, as if to say that Uta was indeed a bit off.

"And your friends, they're all my fans, right? It's so much fun being all together!"

However, Luffy did not respond, but instead walked towards the steps to the side, seemingly preparing to leave.

"Hey, Luffy, are you listening?"

"Haha, Uta, it's great to see you again after so many years, and I even got to eat meat! Now I'm going back to the Sunshine to sleep!"

"Aha?"

"Seeing you doing what you love makes me happy for you. Goodbye!"

Seeing that Luffy was really going to leave, Uta's entire demeanor changed abruptly.

"I will not let you go back. Luffy and all of you will stay here and live happily with me."

Nami laughed awkwardly, "Uta, we really like your songs, but forever is a bit..."

Chapter 344 Totemjika

The next second, a wicked smile appeared on Uta's lips.

shuh~

With a gentle wave of his hand, Nami and Sanji were suspended in the air, becoming part of the musical staff just like the previous pirates.

Uta took to the air, a sickly smile on his face: "Everyone, I've caught another pirate. What should we do?"

After a brief silence, cheers erupted from all directions.

"UTA!" "UTA!"

"Alright! For everyone's happiness, let me defeat them!"

slap~

The curtain of light began to close.

slap~

The music is ringing.

slap~

The fans present quickly followed Uta's rhythm, and a chorus of clapping echoed throughout the venue.

At this moment, dozens of soldiers dressed in black armor and red cloaks appeared behind Uta and charged towards the Straw Hat crew.

Zoro is no one to show mercy to women. Without a word, he drew his sword and assumed a fighting stance: "Even if you're Luffy's childhood friend, I won't allow you to act recklessly!"

Usopp was completely dumbfounded. They were chatting peacefully just a moment ago, how did they suddenly start fighting?

"Hey, who are they? There are more and more of them!"

Jinbe shouted: "Be careful! Kara Sowa Shoken!"

bang~

With a single punch, countless soldiers vanished as musical notes, but the soldiers summoned by Uta seemed endless, quickly coalescing into a new group to continue the attack.

Karl had already blended into the audience to avoid being caught in the crossfire. It wasn't that Karl didn't want to fight, but in the current situation, it wasn't necessary. In this world, Uta was invincible.

Watching the soldiers keep pouring in, Karl stroked his chin: "Hmm? If we smash her speakers, what if..."

Meanwhile, Uta, stepping on golden musical notes, arrived in front of Luffy: "Luffy! Who told you to say you wanted to be a pirate? If you still consider me a friend, then stop being a pirate!"

Luffy assumed a fighting stance, glaring at Uta through gritted teeth: "What exactly do you mean?"

Suddenly, Luffy seemed to remember something, sighed, adjusted his hat brim, and said with his head down.

"Forget it, forget it, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. I have no reason to fight you."

Uta snorted coldly: "Even if you don't want to fight me, I'm still going to fight you!"

After a crisp snap of the fingers, background music started playing, and Uta began to dance an angry dance with a cold expression.

All the "sound soldiers" seemed to have received some kind of summons, and launched a frenzied attack on the Straw Hat crew.

"Six-petaled Flower Blossoms - Slap in the Mouth!"

Luffy punched away the sound soldiers and shouted at Uta, "Uta! Stop messing around!"

The song goes: "Scattered memories are enough to pierce through sorrow, this unyielding hatred, I let go for him..."

"You guys would never understand the true taste of painful loneliness! Untie yourself now!"

"Be angry! Now!!!"

Angry songs, frenzied dance moves...

Karl couldn't help but shake his head: "This little girl is really resentful, luckily I'm quick to act~ tsk tsk."

After the song ended, all the Straw Hat crew members except Luffy were hung on the musical staff, and Luffy was tied up tightly with a green thing.

"Uta! What are you doing? Let go of me!!!"

Uta glanced indifferently at Luffy, who was struggling, and murmured, "This won't do, Luffy, you can't become the Pirate King..."

After taking a deep breath, Uta flashed a bright smile again and shouted energetically to her fans, "Friends, what do you think of One Piece?"

"They burned down our city!" "They killed my husband!"

"Give me back my mother!!!"

"No pirates! Drive the pirates away!"

Karl stood up and shouted, "Die, all pirates!!!"

Those around him immediately cast admiring glances and gave Karl a thumbs-up, which made Karl smile shyly.

Basic exercises, don't 6.

"Uta, release my crewmate!!!" Luffy broke free of his restraints and roared at Uta.

wow~

Two fans drenched Luffy with seawater, and he immediately wilted. It has to be said that seawater is indeed quite effective at suppressing people with normal abilities.

"You are not allowed to approach Prince Uta!"

"Out of energy, aren't you! Those with abilities that come into contact with seawater are nothing to fear!"

After saying that, these crazy fans rushed towards Luffy, seemingly wanting to kill him.

"Shield Ball!"

A green-haired man suddenly appeared next to Luffy, and a semi-transparent shield surrounded the two of them.

Ding Ding Ding ~

Lying on the ground, Luffy glanced at it and weakly called out, "Bartolomeo..."

"Senior Luffy, Princess Uta's abilities are too outrageous. We can't beat her right now."

"No, I... I haven't lost yet!"

Uta chuckled softly, "Here we go again, you just won't admit defeat..."

Bartolomeo gritted his teeth, grabbed Luffy, and charged out.

"Hmph, you can't escape. Everyone, come with me to catch the pirates!"

"Oooo!"

Summoned by Uta, the fans flocked to the direction Bartolomeo had fled, leaving Karl unsure whether they genuinely wanted to catch the pirate or whether Uta had manipulated them into doing so.
