"To think I'd actually run into the Red Hair Pirates here, and you've captured them all!"
Zephyr stepped forward, a hint of surprise in his voice.
"There's nothing to be done about it. Just their bad luck, I suppose."
Kyle replied calmly, but just as he was about to say more, an electronic chi suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Detecting a recruitable genius in the vicinity. Loading genius file... Loading successful!!]
[Na: Uta]
[Introduction: Forr musician of the Red Hair Pirates. After the Elegia incident, she was entrusted by Shanks to Gordon on the music island of Elegia, separating her from the Red Hair Pirates. She aspires to "use her singing to eliminate war and suffering."]
[Recruitnt Advice: Due to her childhood experiences, Uta's actions as she grows up will tend toward an extre form of idealism. However, it is still early now. So things have already happened, but her way of thinking can still be guided.]
[Recruitnt Reward: Myriad Beast Roar to the Heavens (Using one's own Haki to simulate the might of hundreds of beasts, gathering it in the throat and transforming it into the "Might of Heaven's Voice." It possesses both the ferocity of the Lion's Roar and the intimidating power of a hundred beasts resonating together. It can break external physical techniques, disturb the mind and spirit, and shatter illusions.)]
???
Kyle's mind practically materialized question marks above his head. Not because of the sudden appearance of the Uta recruitnt mission, but because of the mission's reward.
Myriad Beast Roar to the Heavens?!
Wait, is this still the world of One Piece? What kind of world has he been dropped into?
A Technique from Kungfu Hustle movie.
Such techniques exist here??
After reading the introduction for the Myriad Beast Roar to the Heavens, Kyle instantly understood. This is essentially an upgraded version of the Lion's Roar!
It evolved from the Lion's Roar into the Roar of a Hundred Beasts, and its driving force changed from internal energy (from other worlds i.e Kungfu Hustle) to Haki.
Wow, looks like he could beco a 'singer' in the future too!
The next mont, he released his Observation Haki, spreading it across the surrounding area.
Since the system had already prompted him, it ant Uta was definitely nearby.
As expected, almost instantly, Kyle sensed Uta several nautical miles away, rowing a small boat frantically towards their direction.
The Uta before him now looked much smaller compared to the Uta he knew from the original story, but her general appearance was almost unchanged.
Seeing this, Kyle turned to Zephyr and said, "Instructor Zephyr, let's have the warship stop for a mont. We need to wait for soone."
"Wait for soone? So other idiot pirate asking for trouble?"
Zephyr asked instinctively.
"No."
"This ti, my new mate is coming."
Kyle revealed a faint smile.

On the other side, Uta was desperately rowing her oars, her face covered in sweat, her hair plastered to her face from the exertion.
She didn't even know how long she had been rowing; she just knew she had to keep going.
A while ago, on Elegia Island, she had suddenly felt a terrifying shockwave in the distance, which even sent waves dozens of ters high crashing onto the shores of Elegia.
Almost instantly, for so unknown reason, an image of a certain soone popped into Uta's head.
Without a second thought, she found a small boat and rowed out to sea. Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't have had to row for this long.
But the problem was—
She would struggle to make significant progress, only for wave after wave to wash her boat right back to Elegia Island.
God knows how 'delighted' she was at that mont. After rowing so hard for so long, and then...
Sigh! All that effort for nothing!!
But clinging to that sliver of hope, she didn't give up. Instead, she kept pushing forward. She lost count of how many tis she was pushed back by the waves. Each ti, she'd stomp her feet in frustration, but each ti, she'd eventually set out again.
If the person she was thinking of was truly part of this battle, she had to seize this opportunity. She had to ask him clearly this ti.
She didn't want to be kept in the dark, not knowing anything!
Finally, after her persistent efforts, she managed to row the farthest she ever had. Of course, this ti it was mainly because the commotion had subsided, and the waves had stopped coming.
From a distance, she rowed towards a small black dot she saw ahead. As she got closer, she gradually made out the shape of the black dot.
A warship!
A warship?!
Uta was stunned for a mont, but then rembered that during her ti on the Red Hair Pirates' ship, they had also commandeered warships before.
So a warship being here could be explained?
Uta didn't overthink it and continued rowing towards the vessel. Regardless, she had to go and check.
As she struggled to reach the side of the warship, before she could even speak, two sailors appeared at the railing and lowered a rope ladder for her.
This action startled Uta.
"Our Rear Admiral is already waiting for you on board. Co on up!"
One of the sailors said, but his words only confused Uta further.
The Rear Admiral is waiting for her? What? This Rear Admiral guy knew she was coming?!
"What do you an by that?"
Uta asked curiously, but the two sailors simply replied flatly:
"You'll understand once you're on board and see our Rear Admiral. He'll explain everything."
Though puzzled, Uta didn't ask further and slowly climbed up the rope ladder.
Just as she was about to reach the railing, the two sailors reached down, gave her a hand, and helped hoist her onto the deck.
The mont her feet touched the deck and she looked up, the first thing she saw was a handso young man sitting in a chair.
Before she could even ask anything, a stunned voice suddenly ca from another direction.
"Uta?!!"
'That voice...'
Uta's pupils contracted slightly, her expression froze for a second, and then she instantly turned her head towards the source of the voice.
What ca into view was a group of familiar faces. Even though years had passed, Uta recognized them all in an instant.
After all, they were her 'fathers'!!
"Lucky Roux, Yasopp, Hongo..."
Uta murmured each na, her gaze finally landing on the two who were still unconscious.
"Beckman, Shanks!!"
"It really is you guys!!!"
Uta's expression and emotions were extrely complicated now.
Before coming, deep down she desperately hoped to see these people from the Red Hair Pirates, but now that she was here, she didn't know how to face them.
After a long silence, she suppressed the turmoil in her heart, fought back the tears threatening to spill from her eyes, looked at Lucky Roux and the others, and demanded:
"Why did you abandon back then? The Elegia incid—"
