A large ship sails across the sea, heading towards it's next destination.

"Hey, Uta!" calls out a red haired man. "We're almost there!"

A nine year old girl with red and white hair, walks up to the edge of the ship to look and see what the man is talking about. It was still pretty far out, but Uta was able to see a small village with large windmills with the aid of some binoculars. In comparison to the last villages and islands she been to, this one is plain. She can only hope this trip won't be so boring.

"Shanks! That island looks boring!" Uta complains.

"Sometimes, a change of pace is needed." Shanks said patting the girl's head. "Here, why don't you dress yourself up with these in the meantime."

Shanks puts down a large chest of jewelry and fancy accessories before Uta and she smiles happily.

"These are so cute!" Uta said excitedly. "I want them all!"

"Why don't you play dress up while in the meantime?" Shanks asks.

"I'm not a child anymore." Uta pouts. "I don't play dress up anymore!"

"Your right, your our diva and my daughter." Shanks said said looking at the girl at eye level. "And this young lady should deserve to be dressed up as something beautiful."

Uta rolls her eyes at her father's cheesy words, but smiles happily. Uta eagerly rummages through the treasure chest that her father gave her and picks out a crown. Despite her young age, Uta loved the life of a pirate. Sailing the seas, having adventures, getting treasure, and most importantly, singing as much as your heart contents. The Red Haired pirates, the crew that her father leads, gave her all this and more. She wouldn't trade her life for anything else. Uta, now fancied up with treasure, decided to sing for the crew before they make it to land.

"Alright, everyone!" Uta yells as she runs up on deck. "Time for a song!"

"Uta! Uta! Uta!" the crew cheers.

"This is a concert venue with famous artists from all over the world." Uta said preparing herself. "And I'll be the headliner!"

Uta takes in the image in her head and smiles.

"The audience is very excited."

The sound of waves swirling and seagulls cooing is all Uta can hear.

"I said, the audience is very excited!"

Still nothing. Uta turns to face her crewmates who're silent as if they didn't have a clue. All of the sudden, they gave Uta the most forced cheer she has ever heard.

"Forget it." Uta said walking off after losing interest.

Men.

Uta looks around and notices that Shanks wasn't anywhere in sight. Curious, she went out and searches for him. After some looking, she finds her father looking at a small chest.

"Shanks, what are you doing?" Uta asks curiously.

Shanks reacts by suddenly closing the chest. However, the object in question has already piqued the girl's interest.

"Is that for me too?" Uta asks excitedly. "I wanna see!"

"No." Shanks answers picking up the chest away from Uta's sight. "Even though you're my daughter, I can't give you this."

"Tch. Cheapstake." Uta pouts.

"C'mon, don't say that." Shanks said patting her back. "Look, we have a more clear view of the land. That's the Goa Kingdom."

Uta looks at the island unenthusiastically. It was as she expects, simple and boring, but there's a calm and peaceful atmosphere about it.

"Ok, lets dock here." Shanks yells to his crew as they begin to make preparations to leave the ship. "We're entering Windmill Village!"

The crew begins preparations on tying the ship to the port and cleaning up the ship. Uta watches as she prefers to leave the hard work to the men.

That type of work is not meant for a nine year old diva like myself. Uta thought as she watches from the ship's railing.

Then, something catches her eye. A boy, not much younger than her, staring her down. Something about this boy causes Uta to put her attention towards him. Maybe because he's glaring at her. Whatever the reason, his presence towards her is annoying.

"Are you guys pirates?" the boy asks.

"Yes, we are." Uta answers arrogantly. "Do you have a problem with it?"

The young boy can sense the sass from the girl, but refuses to back down. Uta was looking down on him literally and figuratively which made the boy even more irritated.

"If so, you can tell me." Uta said smiling. "I'm Captain Shanks' daughter, Uta."

"If your pirates, go away!" the boy said with a shaky voice.

"Or what?" Uta asks arragontly.

Uta can tell that this boy is nothing the crew can't handle. In fact, Uta has confidence that she can win in a fight with him.

"Are you going to fight us?" Uta asks. "Your nothing but a village boy."

There was tension between the two as they angrily stare at each other.

"Stop it, Uta."

The children turn their attention to the red head as he walks to the stern of the ship.

"We're not here to fight." Shanks said calmly. "No need to get heated."

The boy look at the man and can tell from a glance that he's different from anyone he has known. His attitude, his composure, his tone, his expression. The boy, still a bit scared, refused to back down. They are pirates after all.

"I didn't know there was such a tough sheriff in this village." Shanks said looking at the boy. "We better watch our behavior here."

"Who are you?" Luffy asks the man.

"I'm Shanks, the captain of this ship." Shanks answers.

"If you trouble us, I'll make you pay for it." the boy said with fists tightened.

Shanks chuckles at the boy's gusto, but nods to the boy's statement. Uta, on the other hand, wasn't as pleased and pouts to Shanks reaction. She can already tell that this embarkment will be a huge pain.

This will be troublesome. Uta thought as she prepares to exit the ship.
