Pirate: I am King Luffy

The crazy feeling of being just one step away from victory made Uta quite excited.

For Luffy, this is just an unfair little game where the one who goes first will win. As long as he goes first, the probability of winning will be greatly increased. Uta's defeat and draw are both calculated probabilities.

But the nine-year-old girl didn't know this. The simplicity of the rules made her ignore the traps.

It's time to switch to a puzzle game. "Uta, let's play Gobang!"

Luffy said that Tic-Tac-toe was a little too childish. It was okay to play occasionally, but Luffy would soon get bored of playing games as addictive as Uta, so a new game to promote friendship came on the stage.

For Uta, this rule was just a change from winning with three flags to winning with five pieces. She was full of confidence...but she was defeated every time she fought.

“It feels so good to bully kids.”

Luffy sighed sincerely.

"I don't want to play anymore, Luffy you must be cheating!"

Uta's eyes were red and he ran to Shanks for help.

……

Soon, it was the eve of departure.

Uta carefully selected her own princess outfit, put on the exquisite jewelry given to her by Shanks, and dressed herself like a little princess.

The pirates gathered in Makino's bar and made a lot of noise.

Luffy tried to join the Red Hair Pirates through normal channels and openly.

"Shanks, take me out to play. I want to see the outside world, too!"

Luffy stood in front of Shanks and looked at the pirate expectantly.

Chapter 9 Uta is the girl who can be my mother

In the original work, Luffy was clamoring to board Shanks' pirate ship and become a pirate.

But Luffy has never said such words now. His desire to board the ship now only expresses his desire to see the outside world.

It is a kind of tourist boating.

Even so, Shanks rejected Luffy's request after thinking about it for a few seconds.

"We are pirates, Luffy. Being on a pirate ship is no joke."

"That's right, we are pirates!" Uta said with a smile.

"Could it be that Luffy doesn't want to let us go and wants to stay with us?" Uta covered his mouth with his hands and laughed.

If this wasn't a world where "Red Hair is the dad of a diva", I'd still be happy to stay in Windmill Village.

Luffy thought.

Uta currently does not have any devil fruit abilities and has never eaten a devil fruit.

After all, she had just saved herself from the water not long ago, and the original work also vaguely remembered that Uta complained to Shanks about Luffy and her competing in cliff jumping.

If Uta is a person with special abilities now, she would be a landlubber.

The most likely scenario is that Uta ate the devil fruit in the music kingdom of Elegia and awakened the Demon King's Melody, thus destroying Elegia.

Rather than trying to stop Uta later, it is better to nip the disaster in the bud.

Besides... Windmill Village was indeed very boring, and he was tired of staying there.

It would be better to get on Red Hair’s boat and go out for a stroll.

Shanks is no longer the king of the sea, but his strength is still guaranteed. This guy has returned to Windmill Village more than once or twice.

Therefore, following Shanks is a travel plan with a very high safety factor.

Unfortunately, Shanks still refused Luffy's request to follow the ship.

I have to get on board secretly.

Luffy was thinking about when he could sneak onto the ship, and Uta was reluctant to let him go.

She never expected that in this remote and poor island with nothing, there would be someone as interesting and fun as Luffy, and this was also the first person of her age whom she had known for a long time. She was filled with emotion at the moment, drinking juice while looking at the boy next to Shanks.

"Uta, come and sing. I haven't heard you sing for a long time!"

Some pirates saw Uta's reluctance and started to urge her to sing.

Luffy looked at Uta. He had never heard Uta sing before. In the only singing competition between the two, he defeated Uta by deliberately singing randomly.

The opponent was so overwhelmed by his singing that he gave up the game.

"Since you want to hear it..."

When Uta saw Luffy looking at him, his face turned red and he became awkward.

Is Uta’s singing voice really beautiful?

Luffy expressed his doubts about this. After all, when he watched the movie "Red Hair is the Diva's Dad", he became immune to the music in the movie and felt that it was not as good as... Binx's wine.

"I'll satisfy you." Uta stood up shyly, and soon she came back to normal from her shy and awkward mood.

She really loves music.

He is a person who has seen the world and it is impossible for him to be afraid to express himself because of emotions like shyness.

After all, she is a princess and the darling of the Red Hair Pirates.

Seeing that Uta was about to sing, the pirates took action spontaneously. They moved the chairs in the tavern to the side, picked up Luffy and put him on the table, leaving two tables together in the middle of the room.

The pirates' actions were chaotic yet orderly, and the sound of their running footsteps also followed a certain drumbeat.

Uta closed her eyes and stretched her hands naturally to both sides. Two pirates, one fat and one thin, held her hands and lifted her from the ground into the air.

Uta was brought to the table in a floating posture. Beckman took a piece of white paper and placed it in the middle of the table, and Uta stepped on it.

These pirates are really world-class at making fun of Uta...

Luffy felt the shock of the pirate.

"At this moment, flowers are blooming and applause is ringing..."

Uta stood on the table, imagining that the stage at this moment was not in a narrow country tavern, but on the music stage of a big city.

The spotlight was on her, and the audience was noisy...

The pirates began to applaud according to Uta's lines. They were looking forward to Uta's singing. Luffy was doubting his life when he saw her. She was indeed a tool for selling songs, and she had to put on such a show.

Uta constructed an imaginary stage in her mind and then opened her eyes. She glanced at the audience and finally fixed her gaze on her peers.

"Although we have only known each other for a week... I am glad to meet you. This song symbolizes our friendship. Next time we meet, you must become stronger..."

~

As Uta spoke, she began to sing.

Luffy didn't know how the song was, but Uta's voice was still worthy of recognition. A girl's voice could never be too bad.

As Luffy listened, he felt sleepy. After all, it was a cappella song, and even with the help of children's voices, it was just that. When listening to music, one should mainly listen to the accompaniment. With good accompaniment, others will still be able to listen to it with interest even if the lyrics are full of swear words.

Hmm… Luffy suddenly thought that if Uta really performed swearing, he would still be able to cheer up.

Uta was so absorbed in the world of singing that she didn't notice that Luffy was using her music as a lullaby.

Snapped!

Luffy was suddenly woken up by someone hitting him with a newspaper, only to see Uta standing in front of him angrily, with his hands on his hips and holding a newspaper.

"Luffy is an idiot!"

Uta threw the newspaper in Luffy's face and stormed out of the tavern.

Oh no, I fell asleep while listening to music!

Luffy scratched his head and the other pirates gave him a pitying look.

I have to apologize...

Luffy thought.

After all, if he wants to stay on the Red Hair Ship, he needs Uta’s help and cover for him.

"Uta!"

Thinking of this, Luffy also ran out in a hurry.

Hearing Luffy chasing him, Uta ran even faster.

She ran to the beach under the moonlight, climbed up the stairs to get on the boat, then ran to her room and locked the door.

Luffy's speed is faster than Uta's, and his reaction is also very quick. He follows Uta and boards Shanks' pirate ship.

"Uta, open the door!"

Luffy, who deliberately slowed down in catching up with Uta, was blocked outside the door by Uta.

"Luffy is an idiot. He actually fell asleep listening to my singing. Do you know that I wrote it especially for you?"

Uta was furious and scolded Luffy through the door.

"This is the highest compliment I can give to your singing, Uta!"

Luffy's brain was at full capacity, trying hard to justify his actions.

"Huh? You're clearly disrespecting me!"

"How can fans fall asleep during a concert?"

Uta yelled angrily.

"Uta, open the door first and listen to my explanation slowly!"

The sound of waves crashed, and Luffy yawned. It was time for him to go to bed.

Release all the energy of the day and then go to bed on time when the moon rises. This is a good work and rest habit he prepared for his height.

So Luffy was also very sleepy now, and he even listened to a lullaby.

With the sound of the door opening, Uta was still willing to give Luffy a chance to quibble. She opened the door of the room and blocked the door, leaving only a crack. She muttered with her little mouth and looked at Luffy with her purple eyes:

Please speak slowly. I am listening.

"The highest praise for music is that you can fall asleep to it. Listen, isn't the sound of the waves nice? Isn't it the most suitable music to fall asleep to?"

"Uta's concerts don't have heavy metal accompaniment, they are completely a cappella, so I fall asleep listening to Uta's voice. If possible, I hope I can fall asleep listening to Uta's singing every night..."

Luffy made up a bunch of nonsense and became more and more excited:

"Please believe me, I definitely don't think Uta's singing is bad...Uta, from your singing, I discovered that you are a girl who can be my mother!"

Luffy said seriously, "Only my mother's singing can make me let down my guard and fall asleep peacefully!"

"Eh?"

Uta felt that Luffy was getting more and more outrageous. When she heard her say that she was the girl who could be his mother, she could no longer hold back.

This kind of comment was so strange that Uta could no longer tell whether it was praising her or criticizing her.

Uta opened the door with a red face, shaking his arms, punching down like raindrops, "Luffy, stop saying weird things every day, being a mother is too outrageous..."

"What I said is real!"

Luffy said seriously:

"I have been living with my grandfather since I was a child. I only saw in the newspaper that mothers can sing a song that can make children fall asleep quickly. I think your voice is like that, Uta."

This is partly true.

Luffy has indeed never seen his father and mother. He was raised by Garp alone, and Garp never even told him his father's name.

It still depends on the time traveler to know the plot to know that his father worked for the revolutionary army.

Now, he must have defected from the navy and become a taboo name.

"Is that so? That was a lullaby, stupid Luffy!"

When Uta heard about Luffy's life story for the first time, she felt that they were somewhat similar. She also had been an orphan since childhood, and it was Shanks who took her out of a treasure chest and raised her.
