Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Kuzan was also a bit confused by this.

He had become lazy after becoming a Marine Admiral, but he never expected that a pirate would have to work so hard.

Is this why pirates are getting harder and harder to catch these days?

Chopper and Usopp huddled together, with colorful fabrics and tools laid out in front of them, along with cheering clothes and light sticks. They definitely needed to work overtime to make some more.

They were definitely Uta's most enthusiastic fans on the ship.

You know, there's a famous musician on the ship, the soulful singer Brook. Luffy said it wasn't a good idea, since comparisons between people in the same profession are the worst thing to do. But Brook himself is a huge fan of music, and he couldn't handle it.

Uta's songs are popular with both men and women. Shirahoshi and Bonney became completely hooked after listening to Uta's songs, and Nami and Robin were also quite interested, though their interest had another reason.

Compared to the relaxation of his companions,

"Putting aside pirates, the Navy's recent movements are definitely a bit strange," Vivi thought to herself.

Although no conflict has occurred, the frequency of encounters with naval fleets has indeed increased significantly.

According to veteran naval officer Gion, "The patrol frequency in the New World is at least 30% higher than usual, and many warships are gathering in the same direction."

"Could it be related to Uta's concert?"

Luffy asked instinctively.

Perona couldn't help but ask, "Why is this related to Uta?"

Luffy rubbed his head vigorously and then said seriously, "Intuition."

It wasn't just him who thought so; Vivi thought so too, because recently, apart from them, the only other major event in the ocean seemed to be Uta.

"It's possible. Uta's influence is too great now, with fans all over the world. Even some Celestial Dragons like her songs. The World Government can't just sit idly by."

Luffy said, "What is the World Government trying to do? Uta isn't a pirate."

"Who knows? Sometimes it's hard to understand the way those people think."

It is indeed difficult to apply the thinking of world governments and navies.

"Whether it's the Navy or the World Government, if they dare to come, just blow them away."

Luffy grinned.

He was still very happy to see Uta, and maybe he could even invite her onto the ship.

Adventure should be exciting and lively.

"Are you happy?"

As he was thinking, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his face.

Nami was leisurely lying on a deck chair not far away when she spotted Luffy with a silly smile on his face.

So her body turned into a cloud and quickly floated to his side.

"What are you thinking about? You're laughing so happily."

Luffy turned his head and saw Nami's ambiguous smile, and subconsciously shrank his neck.

"No, it's nothing."

"nothing?"

Nami reached out and pinched his cheek, gently tugging at it. "Are you especially happy because you're thinking about seeing your childhood friend?"

Luffy already had experience with this kind of thing, so of course he would go along with Nami's wishes.

Don't ask him how he learned it.

Asking questions is a lesson learned the hard way.

Nami then applied more pressure.

This idiot is getting more and more glib!

Although she is currently far ahead, Nami still has complicated feelings towards her first rival, Uta.

Not to mention that Uta has a buff that no one else has.

Childhood sweethearts!

These four words carry significant weight, and they are not just empty words.

Just then, a newsbird flew in from a distance and landed on the ship's side.

"Oh, it's today's newspaper. Let's see if there's any news about us."

Chopper was the first to rush over, took a newspaper from the newsbird, and then took out some change and put it into the money pouch on his chest.

The newsbird chirped contentedly and flew away.

Chopper flipped open the newspaper, glanced at it, and exclaimed in surprise.

Wow! Luffy's in the headlines again!

“This should be normal, right?” Usopp put down his needle and thread and came closer.

Others also gathered around.

The front page of the newspaper featured a huge photograph of Luffy and Whitebeard's fierce battle on the island just days earlier.

In the photo, the two men's weapons collide, black and red lightning tears through the sky, and giant waves surge around the sea.

"That Morgans guy has a lot of informants."

Vivi couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath.

It's amazing that such a high-definition photo could be taken of a battle of this magnitude; it looks like we were right there on the scene.

The president of World Economic News Agency is quite capable of developing news to this extent, although Morgans basically kept his head down and acted like a bird when Vivi was at headquarters.

I glanced at the news headline.

[The Fifth Emperor VS Whitebeard! The outcome of the fierce battle was unexpected...]

The following is a long report detailing the battle and the final victory of the two Yonko. The report concludes with a quote from Whitebeard:

"This era is yours now, Straw Hat."

The most widely circulated news these past few days has been the battle between Luffy and the Whitebeard Pirates.

As the Fifth Emperor, Luffy already enjoys considerable prestige, so Whitebeard's statement clearly reflects a high degree of approval.

"Wow,"

Usopp whistled, "Even Whitebeard says so, Luffy, you're really famous now."

Nami sighed, "The title of Fifth Emperor is now completely confirmed."

The Emperors of the Sea were once an unattainable existence, but now Luffy's captain is one. How far is he from achieving his dream?

Their captain will definitely be the man who becomes the Pirate King!

"Hehe, that white-bearded uncle really knows how to talk." Luffy was quite pleased with himself.

"Aren't you going to be a little more modest?" Perona couldn't help but nudge him.

"Why be humble? Whitebeard is telling the truth."

"......"

The newspaper was passed around among the people before Brooke carefully folded it and put it away.

Luffy was curious about what was so special about collecting a newspaper, and Brook explained, "It's a valuable souvenir. A newspaper that records the battle between two Yonko (Four Emperors) will definitely become a precious collectible in the future."

"That's true."

Usopp nodded, then his eyes lit up. "By the way, there will definitely be reporters at Uta's concert, and we might even make it into the entertainment section!"

"Entertainment section?"

Zoro's lips twitched. "Our Yonko crew is in the entertainment section?"

Usopp replied matter-of-factly, "Isn't that normal? Luffy and Uta are childhood friends, which is big news in itself. The reporters will definitely keep asking about it."

Weiwei, who was standing next to her, fell silent.

That seems to make sense?

This is where the charm of journalism comes in. When Vivi was at the World Economic News Agency, she saw too many messy news stories.

There are mostly ordinary people on the high seas. Apart from some major events, the clashes between ordinary pirates and the navy don't generate much buzz, and are less interesting than the gossip about the emperors of the sea.

The most popular of them all is undoubtedly Luffy, the newly crowned Emperor of the Sea.

What is the story that navigators have to tell?

The secret of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Empress.

"Sigh, the adult world will be lively then."

A faint voice came from above. Luffy looked up and saw Perona sitting on the lookout tower of the mast, looking like she was watching a show.

As an adult who grew up on Amazon Lily, Perona was quite looking forward to seeing Nami and the others meet with Uta.

Fight!Fight!

Tearing hair! Tearing hair!

I love watching women fight.

They sailed towards the place where Uta was holding a concert for two days, and the weather was pretty good. They were able to see the sun for two consecutive days. Luffy was now spending his days playing with walnuts, quite content.

Using a vibrating ball like a walnut is truly unique; it's a different kind of training for him.

It was lunchtime.

"Mmm? It smells so good!"

Luffy jumped up from the goat's head on the Going Merry and reached one hand to the lion's head on the Sunny.

Sanji is already cooking. He replenished a lot of supplies before leaving Whitebeard's camp, but it's really hard on him to cook for a whole ship of people all by himself.

The others were fine, but with Luffy, the big eater, even Sanji was struggling.

"Sanji, is lunch ready?"

"What's the rush? Don't you know whether it's ready or not?"
