Lin Yuan and Uta get along very well. Lin Yuan is known as the world's strongest person, while Uta is called the world's number one singer by Lin Yuan. So they often joke around with each other when they chat.
Uta only experienced some external events when she was a child, but those memories have become vague and unclear.
Lin Yuan was also very patient, slowly telling Uta about many things happening around the world, while Uta was surprised and acted very cute.
"What did you say? You mean those beautiful mermaid girls also like to sing and live 10,000 meters below the sea!"
"Hmm, not bad. But now they're my subordinates too, moved from Fish-Man Island, 10,000 meters underwater, to my territory."
"..."
"What did you say? There are islands and humans ten thousand meters above the sky. How do they live? Won't they fall down?"
"No, that place is called Sky Island. It's an island made of Sea Cloud, and there are many winged Skypieans. But it's also my territory."
"..."
"What did you say? You know all those so-called Shichibukai and Four Emperors, and you can even order them around?"
"That's right. I subdued those Shichibukai a long time ago. Of the Five Emperors, apart from Shanks, they are all my subordinates."
"Hahahaha..."
As Lin Yuan recounted news from the outside world, Uta's face was full of smiles. What amused her most was that every time he finished speaking, Lin Yuan would say that it was his!
"You're really something, aren't you? You're really into bragging. I know Shanks and the others, they won't submit to anyone, so you're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Why don't you just say the World Government is yours too!"
Uta knew about the World Government, so she looked at Lin Yuan with a mocking expression, wanting to see how he would explain himself.
Lin Yuan said seriously, "Hmm, good idea. Although it's not like that now, it will be soon. I plan to overthrow the World Government and then dominate the entire world."
"Hehehe, you're really interesting. Since we're friends, let me treat you to dinner!"
Before they knew it, it was getting dark. Seeing that Lin Yuan was alone, Uta invited him to be her guest.
Uta was not afraid of Lin Yuan. Although she was not strong, as an idealist, once she accepted Lin Yuan as a friend, she would not suspect that he had bad intentions.
What's more, Gordon will be bringing him food soon.
"Okay, I'll bring out some food from the Gourmet City for you to try later!"
Lin Yuan followed Uta downhill and soon arrived at a building that looked more like an opera house.
"Is this where you live?"
Lin Yuan looked it over; unlike the dilapidated state of other places, this building was quite intact.
"Great! There's even a huge stage inside where I can sing. Let me tell you, ever since I discovered the Den Den Mushi, I've met a lot of people, and they all love my singing!"
As she spoke, Uta's face suddenly showed some sadness.
"Alas, it's such a pity I won't be able to see them!"
Lin Yuan patted Uta's head and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'll take you away later and then I'll put on a huge concert for you, so you can meet lots of people."
Really?
Uta's eyes lit up, and he was about to say something, but he quickly lowered his head.
"Forget it! I'm not planning on leaving here!"
Lin Yuan was taken aback, but after a moment's thought he understood what Uta meant, and he asked with a smile.
"Are you waiting for someone here? Let me think... it's probably the Red Hair Pirates!"
Uta was startled and immediately looked at Lin Yuan.
How did you know?
Lin Yuan smiled and then spoke.
"What's so difficult about that? Don't forget, you asked me to beat up the Red Hair Pirates. I can't think of any other reason!"
Uta was taken aback, then glared at Lin Yuan fiercely, but she wasn't angry. She proudly raised her head and said...
"Hmph, I wasn't waiting for them!"
Looking at Uta's red and white hair, with the white hair covering one eye, Lin Yuan gently smoothed it down, revealing her beautiful purple eyes, and said earnestly.
"Don't worry, I'll keep my promise and give them a good beating."
For the first time, Uta felt flustered. Her face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but turn her head away, muttering to herself.
"I don't care, you're just bragging!"
Lin Yuan smiled and didn't explain further. He figured he'd personally take down the Red Hair Pirates, especially Shanks, later, and Uta would be shocked.
Upon entering the room, there was a small kitchen. Uta invited Lin Yuan to sit down while she prepared to cook some food.
As for the food in the Gourmet City that Lin Yuan mentioned, Uta didn't think much of it when he saw that Lin Yuan's hands were empty.
Lin Yuan looked around and then said with a smile.
"Stop doing it! Didn't I say there would be delicious food?"
"Hmph, what else can you do besides bragging? I don't see any food. Can you conjure it up?"
Uta put down her spoon and glared angrily at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan laughed heartily. His ring was filled with delicious food, especially since he had used his ability to Time Stop inside, so the food he took out was still warm.
When Lin Yuan ate for three consecutive days to replenish his energy, Robin and the others were terrified, so they specially asked the chef to prepare a year's worth of food for Lin Yuan to put in his ring.
This even alarmed the Gourmet City, with all the top chefs joining the effort, and it took the entire island a week to complete.
"Hehe, then I'll show you a magic trick!"
Uta crossed his arms, his eyes fixed on Lin Yuan, ready to see how he would make a fool of himself, and he was even starting to look forward to it.
However, Uta was destined to be disappointed. When she saw Lin Yuan wave his hands and the entire table was covered with steaming hot food, her mouth gaped open and her eyes were full of disbelief.
"You, you, how did you do that?"
"Haha, I wasn't bragging, was I? This was made by a chef from the Gourmet City! Come and try it!"
Seeing Uta's stunned expression, Lin Yuan smiled and pulled her over to sit down, and even prepared tableware for Uta.
"The world's number one Uta, come and try it!"
Uta, Lin Yuan rather silly, put a piece of golden fish meat with an alluring aroma into her mouth and chewed it slowly. Instantly, her big eyes narrowed into slits.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Uta was immediately captivated by the enchanting flavor; she was absolutely certain that this was the best food she had ever tasted in her life!
Lin Yuan remained silent, sitting opposite Uta, and the two silently began to devour the food on the huge dining table.
Until a long time...
"Diaphragm..."
Uta rubbed his slightly swollen belly with difficulty, a look of satisfaction on his face.
When Uta saw Lin Yuan staring at him with a smile, he suddenly felt embarrassed. Just as he was about to say something, he heard an old voice.
" Uta, I've brought you some ingredients!"
Lin Yuan and Uta immediately looked toward the doorway, where a man carrying a basket walked in—it was Gordon.
When he saw Uta with a strange man, his face instantly turned wary.
However, when he saw Lin Yuan's face clearly, Gordon's wariness instantly turned into fear.
"You, you are..."
