One Piece: I'm Destined to Be the Son-in-Law King!-Chapter 218: Black Hair, You Bastard!
Chapter 218 - Black Hair, You Bastard!
East Blue, Glass Bead Island.
"Wow, so many people!" Uta exclaimed, standing on the deck of the ship. She gazed at the sea of ships surrounding them and the massive crowd gathered at the port. For a moment, she hesitated to step onto land.
She had never seen so many people in one place. It was overwhelming.
What's more, the entire town was decorated with banners and flags, all bearing the name "Uta." People strolled by, proudly holding Uta merchandise, and even their clothes were printed with her picture.
It was clear: most of the people who had flocked to the town were Uta's fans, eager to attend her concert.
"Let's go. We've got a lot to do," Roya said, stepping onto the shore. The fans didn't recognize them yet, but he knew that after this concert, moving around so freely would become much more difficult.
The three made their way to their agreed-upon meeting place.
Fullbody and Jango were already there, brimming with excitement. They were in charge of organizing and promoting the concert, and their past involvement in entertainment had given them plenty of experience.
The moment they spotted Uta, they were so excited they almost forgot about Roya. Each of them held out a bouquet of colorful flowers to Uta.
"Uta, we're huge fans!" Fullbody blurted out.
"Thank you!" Uta replied, her face beaming as she accepted the flowers.
I want to make all my fans happy! she thought.
Fullbody and Jango were ecstatic for a while before finally remembering Roya, who stood patiently beside them. They quickly straightened up and snapped to attention, saluting him.
"Vice Admiral Roya!" they shouted in unison.
"We're a band now, so don't call me Vice Admiral. Call me Captain," Roya said with a smile, shaking his head. "Are you two ready?"
"We've been waiting for you, Captain!" Jango said with enthusiasm. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
The concert was scheduled to take place in a week, but before that, there was one very important task: taking the band's promotional poster photos.
Now it was their turn to shine in front of the camera!
Tony, the photographer, was all set!
The costume designer gave a thumbs-up!
The photography studio was ready and waiting!
They busied themselves for three whole hours.
Uta slipped on her new headphones and changed into a beautiful white dress, paired with a stylish pink, long-sleeved coat. Her legs were bare, and she wore white, chunky, short boots on her feet.
Her whole vibe instantly transformed.
"How does this look?" she asked, twirling.
"Fantastic!" Roya exclaimed, giving the girl a thumbs-up.
He and Yamato had also changed into new outfits, mainly red and white, in the same style as Uta's. Yamato even sported a pair of sleek Hi-Silk stockings.
The five of them stood together in front of the camera.
"Click! Click, click!"
Flashes of light went off one after another.
This is amazing! Uta thought excitedly.
After a full day of shooting, the promotional poster was finally complete.
Uta stood in the center, pointing towards the sky with a confident smile.
Roya held an electric guitar, while Yamato stood on the other side holding a drum set, the two framing Uta.
Fullbody and Jango were on the outside, posing on their tiptoes.
The background featured the band's name, "Peace," and a huge G-5 logo!
It had the look and feel of a true rock and roll supergroup.
The more Roya looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
"Money's no object; get this poster to every corner of the world!" he declared.
"Leave it to us, Captain!" Fullbody and Jango replied, extremely excited. Performing on the same stage as Uta felt like a dream. As expected of Roya, he found Uta so easily, they thought in admiration.

The next morning.
The streets and alleys of Glass Bead Island were plastered with the Peace Band's promotional posters, and the big screens were playing them on loop.
Uta's image was revealed to the world for the first time!
"Uta?" a fan questioned, spotting the poster.
The fans gazed at Uta's unique and adorable image.
"So cute!" one fan squealed.
"Uta, I love you!" another shouted.
"Uta! Uta! Uta!" the fans chanted, their voices filled with joy.
Meanwhile, in the studio, the Peace Band was busy rehearsing for the performance. The world outside was becoming increasingly enthusiastic as the news newspapers were distributed.

Grand Line, Sabaody Islands.
Idle G-5 Branch Marines were busy distributing band posters on each numbered island and constructing a live broadcast stage in the largest square.
Sabaody, located in the center of the world, was one of the most prosperous islands.
Uta's concert had already captured the attention of countless people, and this public reveal made the fans even more excited.
A large number of news reporters flocked to the island. If East Blue wasn't so far away, they would have rushed to Glass Bead Island immediately.
The World Conference and the Revolutionary Army's actions were gradually overshadowed. Entertainment weekly magazines dominated the news cycle.
The nearby Marine Headquarters also took notice of this unprecedented event.
As a music icon, Uta had a massive following within the Marine. Even officers who weren't particularly interested in music had at least heard of Uta's name.
"Uta's concert?" one Marine asked, seeing the poster.
The promotional poster was delivered to Sengoku's desk.
When he saw Roya standing next to Uta in the energetic photo, Sengoku "pfft"ed, and the tea in his mouth sprayed everywhere.
That's Roya, isn't it? he thought in disbelief.
It has to be Roya!
Didn't I tell this brat to investigate the Celestial Tribute? Why is he playing in a band and attracting so much attention!
"Pwahahaha, Sengoku!"
Garp burst into the office, slapping the promotional poster in his hand with force. "Look, that Roya kid has made big news again!"
"I already know!" Sengoku replied, his face darkening, and his head throbbing.
The World Conference was currently underway, and Roya had the nerve to pull off something like this. While it's fine for him to pursue his hobbies, couldn't he have picked a better time?
Is this appropriate?
---
New World, Onigashima.
"It's Lady Yamato!" one pirate exclaimed.
"And the Black Hair Kid!" another added in surprise.
"They're actually going to hold a concert and form a band with the cute Uta!"
The executives stared at the news newspaper, dumbfounded. Queen, in particular, was consumed by envy.
He was also a Uta fan!
Kaido also held the promotional poster, staring at it in a daze. What's going on? Is my daughter going to become a star?
Damn Black Hair! he thought angrily.
What the hell is that brat doing?!
---
Depths of the New World, Elbaf.
A banquet was being held in the tavern.
Lucky Roux rushed into the tavern in a panic.
"Chief, something bad has happened!" he shouted.
"U-U-U-Uta!"
Hearing Uta's name, the Red Hair Pirates suddenly fell silent. Shanks lost his smile and asked urgently, "What happened to Uta?!"
"Uta, she... you guys see for yourselves!" Lucky Roux replied, holding up the promotional poster.
The entire Red Hair Pirates crew looked at the beautiful Uta, smiles appearing on their faces. They thought something had gone wrong, but it turned out Uta was going to hold a concert.
Also, Uta had grown up!
Lucky Roux, covered in sweat, quickly reminded his partner, "Don't just look at Uta, the focus of this promotional poster isn't Uta!"
"Hmm?" one pirate asked, confused.
Hearing Lucky Roux's reminder, the others shifted their gaze from Uta, and when they saw the Black Hair next to Uta, they couldn't help but feel a chill.
W-What's going on? one pirate asked.
Did that Black Hair bastard kidnap Uta? another suggested.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Shanks.
"Chief?"
"."
Shanks remained silent with a dark expression.
He had been in contact with Black Hair and knew that he wouldn't hurt Uta, but seeing Black Hair standing close to his daughter, he couldn't feel happy at all.
What intentions does that kid have towards Uta? he wondered.
