Chapter 144 Uta Recruitment Mission

"I never expected to run into the Red-Haired Pirates here, and you even managed to capture them all!"

Zefa stepped forward and spoke with a hint of surprise.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it; they were just unlucky!"

Kyle spoke softly, about to say something, when an electronic voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[Recruitable geniuses detected nearby. Genius profiles are loading... Loading successful!!]

Name: Uta

[Introduction: Former musician of the Red-Haired Pirates, after the Erigia incident, Shanks entrusted him to Gordon on the music island of Erigia to be raised, separating him from the Red-Haired Pirates. He vowed to "eliminate war and suffering with his singing."]

[Recruitment advice: Due to her childhood experiences, Uta's actions as an adult tend towards extreme idealism. However, it's still early; some things have already happened, but her thinking can still be guided!]

[Recruitment Reward: Roar of Ten Thousand Beasts to the Sky (Uses one's own domineering aura to simulate the might of a hundred beasts, gathering it in the throat to create a "sound of heavenly power," possessing both the ferocity of a lion's roar and the intimidating power of the resonance of ten thousand beasts; it can break through external martial arts, disturb the mind, and shatter illusions.)]

???

Three question marks involuntarily appeared above Kyle's head, not because of the recruitment quest for Uta, but because of the quest's reward.

A chorus of beasts roaring to the heavens?!

Wait, is this still the world of One Piece? Where did he end up?

They even have this kind of move?

After reading the description of the Roar of Ten Thousand Beasts, Kyle instantly realized that this was just an upgraded version of the Lion's Roar!

It transformed from a lion's roar into the roar of ten thousand beasts, and its driving force changed from internal energy from other worlds to domineering energy.

Wow, it looks like he could become a 'singer' in the future!

The next moment, Observation Haki was released and spread outwards.

Since the system has already given a notification, it proves that Uta must be around him.

Without any surprise, almost instantly, Kyle spotted Uta, who was rowing a small boat several nautical miles away, heading in their direction.

The current Uta appears much smaller than the Uta he saw in the original work, but his overall appearance is almost unchanged.

Seeing this, Kyle turned to Zephyr and said:

"Professor Zephyr, please have the warship stop and wait for someone to come!"

"Waiting for someone? What kind of pirate is courting death this time?!"

Zefa asked instinctively.

"no!"

"My new teammates have arrived!"

Kyle gave a faint smile.

-

On the other side, Uta was paddling the boat vigorously, his face covered in sweat, his hair hanging down over his face.

She didn't even know how long she swam; all she knew was that she had to keep swimming.

Not long ago, while on the island of Elijah, she suddenly felt a terrifying aftershock coming from afar, with waves reaching ten meters high even at the edge of the island.

Almost instantly, for some reason, a figure appeared in Uta's mind.

So, without much thought, she found a small boat and rowed out to sea. Normally, she wouldn't have needed to row for so long.

But the problem is-

She had finally made it a long way when wave after wave of waves came and blasted her ship back to Alicia Island.

God knows how 'happy' she was at the time. She'd worked so hard paddling for so long, and in the end...

Ugh! All that effort for nothing!!

Clinging to that sliver of hope, she did not give up but continued to move forward. Along the way, she was knocked back by the waves countless times. Each time, she was so angry that she jumped up and down, but each time she finally started again.

If the two sides in the conflict really do have the person she's thinking of, she's determined to seize this opportunity and get to the bottom of it.

I don't want to be completely unaware and kept in the dark!

Finally, after her persistent efforts, she paddled her furthest distance yet, mainly because the commotion gradually subsided and no more waves came crashing in.

From a distance, she swiped toward a small black dot she saw ahead. As she got closer, she gradually saw the shape of the black dot clearly.

A warship!

warship?!

Uta paused for a moment, but then she remembered that when she was on the Red-Haired Pirates' ship, they had also stolen warships to sail.

This could be explained by the fact that it's a warship?

Uta didn't care about anything else and continued rowing towards the warship. Whether it was real or not, she had to confirm it.

When she finally reached the side of the warship, before she could even speak, two sailors appeared beside the ship and lowered a rope ladder for her.

This move surprised Uta.

"Our major general is already waiting for you on the ship, please come aboard!"

One of the naval officers spoke up, but what he said only made Uta more confused.

The major general is waiting for her? What? That major general knew she was coming?!

"What do you mean by that?"

Uta asked curiously, but the two navy men simply replied:

"You'll understand when you get up here and meet our Major General; he'll explain it to you!"

Although puzzled, Uta didn't ask any more questions, but instead slowly climbed up the rope ladder.

Just as she was about to climb onto the ship's railing, two sailors gave her a hand and lifted her up.

As soon as I stepped onto the deck, I looked up and saw a handsome young man sitting in a chair.

Before she could ask anything, a surprised voice suddenly came from the other side.

"Uta?!!"

"That voice..."

Uta's pupils contracted slightly, his expression froze, and the next second he immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

A group of familiar faces came into view. Although it had been several years since they last met, Uta recognized them all at a glance.

After all, they are all her 'fathers'!

"Lachi Rue, Yasopp, from the same hometown..."

Uta read out everyone's names one by one, his gaze finally settling on the two who were still unconscious.

"Beckman, Shanks!!"

"It really is you guys!!!"

Uta's expression and mood are very complicated right now.

Before coming here, she really hoped to meet the Red-Haired Pirates, but after arriving, she didn't know how to face them.

After a long silence, she suppressed her complex emotions, struggled to hold back the tears that might well up in her eyes, and looked at Lucky Roux and the others, questioning them:

"Why did you abandon me back then? Ah..."

whoosh-

……
