Chapter 138 The Red-Haired Pirates and Uta
In the calm zone somewhere in the first half of the Grand Line, an island stands.
It resembles a giant flower, with its buds surrounding the island, giving it a delicate and unique feel.
The island is lush with vegetation, giving it a vibrant feel. The green plants and the flower-shaped island structures complement each other, creating a fairytale-like world.
The only drawback is that there are many dilapidated buildings on the island, as if telling the story of a terrible battle that once took place here.
On one of the higher, dilapidated houses, a group of people were gathered, all looking in the same direction.
A few miles away, as far as they could see, a little girl sat on a grassy field, gazing ahead and humming a tune she didn't recognize.
She had red and white hair in a yin-yang style, braided into two long ponytails, each ending in two loops made of hair. These loops on her head looked like rabbit ears.
Her eyes were a unique bright purple, very beautiful.
Her name is Uta, and the island she lives on is Eligia, a place once known as the land of music.
Once they arrived at this point, the identities of the group of people who had been spying from afar became obvious.
It was the Red-Haired Pirates.
With their strength and being on high ground, a distance of several miles was nothing to them; they could clearly see Uta.
Everyone remained silent; no one spoke until Shanks finally spoke:
"Let's go back now! We'll come see Uta again next time!"
After saying that, he turned his head, leaped up, and his figure rose and fell between the houses, heading towards the outside of the island.
The rest remained standing. Among them, Lucky Roux, holding a piece of meat in one hand, watched Shanks' departing figure, took a big bite of the meat, and said as he ate:
"That boss, he clearly misses Uta, but he just won't say anything!"
Upon hearing this, the curly-haired woman named Yasopp glanced at him and spoke calmly:
"The boss wants it, but don't you?!"
……
The room fell silent; no one spoke.
Uta was raised by all of them. Although theoretically Uta is Shanks' daughter, isn't she also their daughter?
They had been treating Uta as their own daughter for who knows how long.
Shanks misses Uta, and so do they.
But thinking about it was useless; they couldn't meet with Uta, and could only visit her from time to time like this.
If they were to meet Uta, all their previous efforts would be in vain. In order to protect Uta, they could only watch her grow from afar.
Let's go!
Ben Beckman, the second-in-command of the pirate crew, spoke up, and with a leap, he also headed away into the distance in a few bounds.
Seeing that their eldest and second eldest brothers had left, the rest of them did not hesitate any longer and followed behind.
Before long, everyone was back on the ship.
"Let's go! Back to the New World!"
The red-haired man said that he was going back to the New World to continue his adventures, and that he had only come back to visit Uta this time.
He knew that strength was extremely important in this world; if he wasn't strong enough, there was no chance of him succeeding in anything he wanted to do.
Thinking about this gave him a headache.
The Devil Fruit he had been searching for had been eaten by a Marine. What was going on?
He knew very well what that fruit symbolized. Could a Marine... awaken that fruit?!
That fruit had never awakened in eight hundred years, which shows how difficult it was to awaken. Now that it has been eaten by the Navy, it seems even more impossible for it to awaken.
ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh!
If only the child on whom he had placed his bet had eaten that fruit!
Thinking of this, the redhead couldn't help but look at his left arm, where the arm that used to be was now gone, leaving it empty.
The loss of his left arm was not a coincidence, but rather a deliberate act.
Saving the child was one reason, but the real reason was that he wanted to use external forces to make himself lose his left arm.
Otherwise, the 'contract' within it would impose enormous restrictions on him!
He didn't want his life, death, or thoughts to be controlled by others.
Especially Him!!
"Boss, what are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."
Suddenly, a voice came from the side, pulling Redhead back to reality. He turned his head and saw Lucky Rue holding a large roasted leg in one hand, eating one himself, and offering the other to Redhead.
"I wasn't thinking about anything!"
The redhead smiled and took the roasted leg, eating it in large bites.
Sitting down against the ship's mast, Lachi Roux asked again:
"So, boss, which emperor's forces are we planning to attack in the New World this time?"
They had planned this all along. Once they returned to the New World, they would start by vying for territory with those pirate kings, taking it one step at a time, building their reputation, and becoming the new kings of the sea!
The main reason for making this decision is that their current strength has reached a certain level. Although they are not yet a match for those Emperor Pirate Crews, they are qualified to have a go at them.
"To be honest, we have to thank that battle four years ago for how quickly our strength has improved!"
At this moment, Jesus spoke.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, a strange light flickering in each of their eyes.
The battle four years ago...
They were in a very sorry state!
The ship was blown to pieces and fled into the sea in a sorry state, holding its breath underwater and not daring to surface.
They were terrified that Garp would unleash a bone punch the moment they came out.
It's one thing to be beaten up like this by Garp, after all, he's a senior who used to chase after the Pirate King Roger all over the world.
It's perfectly normal to chase after them!
But what right does that brat Kyle have?!
To have such exaggerated strength at that age, especially that purple lightning ability, the damage was even more outrageous. Even though they had mastered Armament Haki at the time, they were paralyzed by the electric shock and could not swim smoothly in the sea.
Later, I learned from the newspapers that the kid's strength had increased rapidly, and he had even defeated Moria. Not long ago, he had even defeated the great pirate king of the old era, Naoki and Shiki.
Shanks knew all too well how strong Shiki was.
More than a decade ago, he was a powerful pirate who could fight his captain, the Pirate King Roger, to a standstill. Even though his strength has declined over the years, he is still not to be underestimated.
It was precisely because Kyle's strength improved so rapidly that they also worked hard, frequently fighting others to improve their strength in battle, and never daring to slack off in their daily training.
Only with such hard work could their strength improve so rapidly!
Thinking of this, the redhead couldn't help but speak:
"Hmph! I wonder when I'll run into that Kyle guy again. I've been wanting revenge for ages!!"
