One Piece: I'm Destined to Be the Son-in-Law King!

Chapter 212: Searching for Uta

Chapter 212 -

"What are you two doing in the East Blue?"

"Reporting, Vice Admiral Roya, we're on vacation, sir!" they replied quickly.

"Vacation, huh?" Roya nodded, a smile playing on his lips. "Relax, guys. Don't be so formal. We're comrades. Just treat me like a friend. Let's sit down and talk."

"Yes, sir!" Fullbody scrambled to find an empty table, completely forgetting about his date.

"Vice Admiral Roya, the thing is..." Fullbody explained.

The World Conference was in session, and the G-5 Branch had been assigned to escort royalty. However, they didn't need all their warships. Plus, the Marines in the G-5 Branch... well, they weren't known for their professional conduct.

So, Smoker, their superior, had given them leave.

He and Jango had come back to the East Blue, planning to enjoy their time off before returning to the G-5 Branch after the World Conference.

"I see," Roya said, nodding understandingly.

Fullbody lowered his head, relieved that he hadn't caused any trouble earlier. That would have been utterly humiliating with the Vice Admiral watching.

"Vice Admiral Roya, what brings you here?"

"To eat, what else?" Roya replied with a grin.

"Ah, right," Fullbody stammered, feeling foolish. He quickly raised his hand to call for service.

"Waiter! Uh..." Fullbody trailed off, stunned. The black-clad "waiter" was now sitting in his seat, charming his date!

That little creep! This is too much!

With Roya present, Fullbody managed to control his anger, but his eyes narrowed with fury.

Luckily, another member of the restaurant staff appeared.

"Sanji, you idiot! The customer's calling for you!"

"Hey, I'm not a waiter!" Sanji protested, but he quickly made his way to the table.

His surly expression vanished the instant he saw Yamato. His attitude did a complete 180.

"Beautiful lady, what can I get for you?" he cooed.

"Me? Everything!" Yamato exclaimed, grabbing her knife and fork eagerly.

Roya's cooking wasn't terrible, but it wasn't exactly gourmet. It was barely enough to satisfy her massive appetite.

I want a feast! she thought.

"Coming right up! I'll prepare it myself!" Sanji said, hurrying to the kitchen.

Roya watched him go.

I'm not particularly interested in Sanji. Even if he becomes strong later, that's in the future. I don't have time to train a womanizer.

Roya turned his attention back to Fullbody and Jango, still curious. "Are you telling me the only reason you traveled all the way to the East Blue was for a vacation?"

The East Blue was peaceful, but it wasn't exactly a hotbed of entertainment. If they wanted excitement, the New World or the Grand Line would have been better choices.

"Vice Admiral Roya, we can't hide anything from you," Fullbody said, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Actually, we came to the East Blue to find Uta!"

"Uta?" Roya repeated, pausing.

He knew they were huge fans of Uta. Back at the 153rd Branch, they had been Uta's most devoted followers.

Moreover, they loved to dance and were deeply involved in the Uta fan community. Their passion for Uta was unmatched.

In their eyes, Uta was a goddess of entertainment.

Roya was intrigued.

"Uta is in the East Blue?"

"Well, we don't know for sure," Fullbody admitted, shaking his head. "But recently, during one of Uta's online concerts, she mentioned some interesting stories about the East Blue. So, everyone thinks Uta might be from here."

"Hmm," Roya murmured, nodding thoughtfully.

Uta had become a global sensation long ago, but she had never made a public appearance. She always performed and held concerts through Den Den Mushi broadcasts.

Besides her mesmerizing voice, all fans knew about Uta was her name, spelled out in three simple letters: Uta.

If I remember correctly, Uta lives in the ruins of a country known for its music... But I can't remember the name...

Yamato tugged on Roya's sleeve.

"Roya, I love Uta too!"

"Yeah, I know," Roya said, smiling.

Uta's singing could easily stir people's emotions. A simple soul like Yamato was easily captivated by Uta's voice.

In fact, I like her a lot, too, he thought.

Back at the 153rd Branch, I even dreamed of starting the ultimate trend band with Fullbody, Jango, and Uta.

Come to think of it, Shanks abandoned Uta after leaving Windmill Village, so she might actually be in the East Blue.

"Yamato, let's go find Uta!"

"Okay, okay!" Yamato cheered.

Time to show off my awesome dance moves!

The Strongest Band Plan, commence!
