One Piece: I'm Destined to Be the Son-in-Law King!-Chapter 224: Joyful CP

Days drifted by like leaves on a stream, and the Peace Band's concerts continued to set the oceans on fire, creating a buzz wherever they went.

Entertainment Weekly seemed to only have eyes for Roya and Uta, while news about the Peace Association's charity work popped up more and more in newspapers. The Peace Band's fame just kept growing!

It was March of Marine Calendar 1519.

Baikal Island, in the North Blue, was the grand finale of their tour across the Four Seas.

With Bege's help, the concerts were now much smoother. Selling tickets, getting the audience in - everything was ten times better than before.

Pretty professional, if I do say so myself!

Backstage, in the prep area...

Roya held a Den Den Mushi to his ear, calling Caesar, who was miles away on Punk Hazard. The Big Mom Pirates had been in touch, asking Caesar how the "Giant Drug" was coming along.

"Tell Big Mom's messenger that there's no such thing as a 'Giant Drug'! And tell them I'll be at the Tea Party in Totto Land this year!" Roya commanded.

"Shurorororo, I'll pass on the message exactly as you said!" Caesar chirped, sounding relieved. A huge weight had lifted from his shoulders. For months, he hadn't slept well, scared of Big Mom's wrath.

Now that Black Hair's in charge, I can stand my ground and stop fearing those Big Mom Pirates.

"Ka-chah!"

Roya hung up the Den Den Mushi.

He rested his chin on his hand, sighing softly.

Just another headache to add to the list. Gotta find out how Vegapunk's location is coming along. I need to speed things up.

"Roya, it's almost time to start!" Uta called out.

"Coming!" he replied.

The concert venue was still overflowing with people, standing shoulder to shoulder. The crowd was chanting Uta's name, mixed with shouts for Roya and the others.

Under the bright lights, Roya and Uta, along with Yamato on the drums, launched into an energetic dance tune.

"Aang~~Want golden wind!"

Styles in music and dance changed greatly from region to region. The East Blue liked peaceful tunes, the West Blue preferred deeper sounds, while the cyborgs of the South Blue went crazy for heavy metal death rock.

The band always tailored their show to fit the local tastes.

With Uta's musical genius, creating hit songs was easy!

"Uta! Uta! Uta!"

Right at the front of the crowd, a group wearing white work clothes stood out. In the middle was Kuma, wearing a shirt covered in hearts, with a Uta fan glowing behind him.

It was the famous Heart Pirates of the North Blue!

Roya glanced at them, a bit speechless.

Almost every concert has pirates in the audience. They aren't here to cause trouble, they're just die-hard Uta fans.

Besides the Heart Pirates, other shady groups were hiding in the crowd.

"Uta is so cute!" someone whispered.

"I couldn't bring myself to kidnap her!" another replied.

"Yo yo I, the mission is of the utmost importance!"

Four CP9 Agents were squeezed together, surrounded by excited fans, making it almost impossible to move.

CP9 only had seven agents besides their officer. Rob Lucci and the other four had been sent to Water 7 for a long-term mission, leaving only three agents available.

Jabura, Fukurou, and Kumadori.

Plus, their officer Spandam.

The four of them were squished together, face to face.

Fukurou tugged at his waistband, whimpering.

"Chapababa, I need to pee."

"Hold it!" Spandam hissed, his face red with anger.

He needed to pee too! He hadn't expected such a huge crowd, and the concert was going to last for hours.

I drank too much wine before coming!

Fukurou's face was all scrunched up, and his legs were shaking.

"But I've been holding it for two hours!"

"You have to hold it, even if you can't! We're stuck together right now!"

Spandam was about to yell at him when suddenly, he felt a warm sensation down below.

"Damn it, you're peeing on me!"

"Sorry..."

A small riot broke out as the four of them finally squeezed their way out of the crowd, panting and struggling to stand.

Spandam stared at his wet pants, his eyes bloodshot.

"Owl, I'm going to kill you!"

"Iron Body!"

"Ahhh, my fingers! Damn it, who told you to use the Six Styles!"

"Chapababa, sorry, Officer."

"Yo yo I, I peed too."

"Kumadori, even you!"

"Yo yo I, I peed on the Officer, that's too impolite! I'm going to commit seppuku to apologize!"

"Iron Body!"

"Clang!"

"Too bad, I can't die! Could it be my mom's spirit in heaven not letting me die?"

"Damn it, don't use Iron Body if you want to die!"

The four argued for a while, squatting to discuss their plan.

Spandam's face was dark.

"As long as Vice Admiral Black Hair is here, we don't have a chance."

Black Hair was the biggest problem. They had gotten detailed information about him before the mission.

Combat power that could rival an Admiral!

That's way beyond our league. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Fukurou leaned in, whispering, "Chapababa, the only fighting power we have is us three. The Officer's Dao Force is only 9, not even as good as a regular soldier!"

"Shut up! I'm a commander, I don't need combat power! Besides, I have a secret weapon!" Spandam snapped.

Spandam rubbed his forehead, annoyed. None of these guys are reliable.

"Glug glug~~"

Jabura took a swig of wine, scoffing, "That's why you guys are so useless. Isn't this mission simple? Just get someone to lure Black Hair away!"

"Jabura's right!" Spandam agreed, clapping his hands and looking at Fukurou. Fukurou was the biggest of the three, but he was also the fastest, and good at hiding.

"Fukurou, you're in charge of drawing Black Hair away!"

"Jabura, you grab Uta when you get the chance!"

"Kumadori, you're backup!"

"Any questions?"

"No!"

The mission was quickly assigned.

Jabura, Fukurou, and Kumadori looked at Spandam and asked in unison, "Officer, what are you in charge of?"

"Me? You fools, I'm the officer!"

Spandam took out his Uta fan and waved it wildly. "I just need to enjoy Uta's singing, and wait for you to bring her to me!"

"Uta! Uta! Uta!"

----

At ten o'clock in the evening, the concert ended.

Roya sat on a box, looking at the pirate in front of him with interest. "Trafalgar Law, right?"

"Yeah, that's me." Law said, trying to keep a straight face, but looking a bit awkward.

Roya smiled. "What do you want?"

"Black Hair, my crewmate is a fan of yours."

Law stepped aside, revealing the shy little white bear behind him.

Bepo stepped forward, holding a small notebook and handing it to Roya. "My name is Bepo, I'm your biggest fan! Can you sign my name, please?"

"Hahaha!"

Roya chuckled, taking the notebook and signing it. "Do you want Uta's autograph too?"

"Yeah! Yeah yeah yeah!" Bepo nodded eagerly, his little eyes shining.

Roya handed the notebook back to Bepo, smiling. "Go ask her yourself, she won't say no."

"Thank you, Lord Black Hair!" Bepo happily ran toward Uta.

"We want signatures too!" Law's crew swarmed forward, each holding a small notebook. Bepo wasn't the only fan of the Peace Band on their crew!

Roya smiled and signed each one.

After he finished, Roya looked at Law, who was waiting off to the side, his eyes full of meaning. "You know I'm a Marine, right?"

"I know."

"I want to tell you something. If I wanted to catch you, you wouldn't be able to escape with your powers."

"..."

Law's heart skipped a beat.

He had come here so confidently because of his abilities, but now, facing Black Hair, he realized he had been naive.

This man sees right through me!

"Black Hair," Law said, trying to stay calm. He took a deep breath and asked, "Did you defeat Doflamingo?"

"That's right." Roya nodded.

Law clenched his fist. He was upset that he couldn't kill Doflamingo himself, but he was still thankful to Roya for doing it.

"Doflamingo was my enemy. Besides my crewmate being a fan, I came here to thank you in person!"

"Thank you for defeating that monster!"

Roya slowly shook his head.

"I didn't kill Doflamingo so you'd thank me. If you really want to thank me, just don't hurt innocent people in the future. If Rosinante was still alive, he wouldn't want you to go down that path."

"Corazon..."

Law was shocked. He hadn't expected Black Hair to know Corazon's name, or that he knew about their connection.

"I am a doctor!"
