I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

A beautiful voice emanated from her cherry-like lips, as if the world had entered another realm.

Her voice was so pure, like a clear spring atop a snow-capped mountain, without a trace of impurity. Every note sparkled like ice crystals, captivating the listener with its unique charm.

After the song ended, everyone was quietly immersed in the atmosphere, unwilling to wake up for a long time.

Dick opened his eyes.

Indeed, only such a voice could belong to the red-haired songstress who would later possess the power to destroy the world.

"Um?"

Dick was surprised.

Because he noticed something was wrong with his body.

Increased physical activity, heightened mental alertness, and accelerated blood circulation...

His strength has increased by 10%.

"You noticed, but unfortunately the buff only lasts for half an hour." Uta pouted, unhappy that it wasn't a permanent buff.

"That's good, Uta, you're already very strong." Dick praised sincerely.

Dorrag shared the same idea.

Looking at Uta, his eyes were filled with shock, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

"Hey, hey, hey," the redhead held out his hand, "that's my daughter."

"Oh, sorry."

Dragon tried to communicate with Shanks about forming an alliance, speaking eloquently and reciting Dick's principles and tenets at length, fully utilizing his persuasive skills.

Redheads just kept urging people to drink, as for the so-called alliance.

Haha, the weather is nice.

In recent years, the Red-Haired Pirates have also established themselves in the New World and built their own sphere of influence.

Of course, Shanks doesn't care much about managing his own power base. Like Whitebeard, he lends out his flag to protect the island's security.

After all, the new world was far too dangerous.

At the same time, Uta's singing career is also thriving.

All the musicians who had taught Uta were amazed by her talent, feeling that a superstar was rising.

No, she should be called the Queen of Pop.

“Ta-da, look,” Uta pointed to the box next to her.

Those were all letters from fans to Uta.

Anyway, every time Uta sees a fan's letter, she is filled with motivation, thinking about singing well and giving her fans the best singing.

This led to a significant development in the ability to provide buffs and enhancements.

Uta is a user of the Song-Song Fruit. Singing itself is her power.

Under Dick's guidance, and driven by her own desire to give back to her fans, Uta has developed many enhanced abilities.

What training buffs, injury recovery buffs, combat power boosting buffs, morale-boosting buffs...

The increase may not be large, but it is there.

It can be said that Uta has become an indispensable member of the Red-Haired Pirates and has also become their official musician.

As for the original musician duo Benkbinger and Monkey Mengshida, they have now officially stepped down to the sidelines.

Because in the musician's position, Uta not only provides a buff, but in her own profession, she is already close to the veteran Benkbinger, not to mention her singing voice, which is completely outclassed.

In addition, there's the position of Uta's favorite member.

Even Ben Beckman advised Benkbinger and Meng Shida to change careers.

"You two should just switch to combatant roles. Or even be substitutes."

Benkbinger Mighty: /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

“Great,” Dick said with a smile as he listened to Uta’s rambling.

He was very patient with Uta.

"By the way, I have a gift for you."

Thinking about it, Dick took out the wood carving.

The 20-centimeter-long wooden carving, no bigger than the palm of your hand, depicts Uta's likeness, somewhat distorted and even ugly.

"You carved it?" Uta covered her mouth.

“Ah, yes,” Dick said, scratching his head.

"It might be a little ugly,"

"It's okay, I like it the most." Uta quickly took it.

In the training of swordsmanship, a true swordsman can cut through steel with a wooden sword;

Even wielding the same supreme-grade sword, one can slice through paper without causing any damage.

In other words, it's about training your control over your own strength.

As a swordsman, although Dick isn't a swordsman, he's more of a swordsman.

When you pick up a weapon, you must not tremble even slightly; that would be a disgrace.

Dick then remembered the idea of ​​carving.

I learned from someone, carving stroke by stroke with a large, sharp knife.

The more detailed and lifelike the work, the more exquisite the control over power.

Of course, artistic talent for sculpting and a sense of spatial aesthetics are also required.

By the way, Dick didn't just carve statues of Uta, but also of Kuina, Kaya, Nami, and others.

Dick pondered that he would send it over when the time was right to increase his favorability.

Moreover, it's best to give away several, so that even a novice's abstract wood carving can gradually become a master's work of art.

What we want is progress.

Also, the intervals between sending wood carvings should be long.

This shows that Dick always kept them in mind.

Dick admired himself for coming up with such a brilliant idea.

Chapter 64 Jack: Eighteen Years Old, Standing Like a Henchman

Sure enough, after Uta took the wood carving, she carefully examined it. Even though the wood carving was abstract and didn't resemble her at all, she was still deeply moved.

The favorability rating is going up, up, up!

Just like when Kaya received the wood carving.

The only difference is Kuina.

The moment I saw the wood carving, I thought it was a great way to practice swordsmanship, so I excitedly started carving in Dick's style.

This made Dick realize that the task ahead was arduous and the road was long.

What do you think of Dick?

“He is absolutely someone who can change the world,” Dragon said firmly.

From the first time they met, he was convinced.

Redhead nodded in agreement.

On this point, he and Dorrag agreed.

One day, the wave that Dick stirred up will change the world.

With that in mind, the red-haired man made a suggestion.

"By the way, Dick, would you be interested in witnessing the wars of the New World?"

The New World is the strongest sea.

For geniuses, or rather, the new generation of strong individuals, engaging in battles with powerful enemies is of great benefit.

For example, the battle with the Don Quixote family not long ago greatly increased Dick's strength.

"Oh? Fighting with whom?" Dick asked curiously.

"Ah, the Beasts Pirates." A glint flashed in Shanks' eyes.

Because of their grudge against Kozuki Oden, the relationship between the Red-Haired Pirates and the Beast Pirates isn't good.

Coupled with the Red-Haired Gang's need to expand its influence, conflicts frequently broke out between the two sides.

While a full-scale war is impossible, small-scale conflicts continue.
