Uta's Idol.

Welcome To The Caledon Kingdom.

Next chapter, came as soon as I could. This chapter will feature another fan kingdom, some more lore, and the mystery character that was hinted from before! I hope you enjoy this new character and what she has to offer. I don't own One Piece.

After their encounter with Ace, Uta and the others had no reason to stick around in the Lulushia Kingdom as a concert wasn't going to happen. The group have decided that they should return back as they overstayed their voyage. However, they decided to take a different route back for a change. After checking their map and adjusting the log pose, they decided to take the route with fewer islands. While this disappointed Uta and Pitch, they were persuaded since Gordon was feeling homesick and Abell would like to wrap things up and so, the four sailed back to Elegia.

Two days later...

"Seriously?! A hole?"

"Some planks were busted and water is seeping down below. Shouldn't be too much trouble."

"Water is leaking on our ship?!"

"Relax, it's not that bad."

"Still, a hole is a hole!"

"I can fix a few cracks in the ship's hull so don't worry."

"We might sink! Three of us are power users and the other can't swim!"

"If you're that worried, you can help scoop out the sea water."

"What if I drown?"

"There's only about two inches of water."

"How will you fix this?"

"By fixing the planks. Come help me."

"No, let Uta do it!"

"Just shut and come with me."

"I'm afraid!"

"Don't be!"

"I'll become weak and drown if I touch that water!"

"You'll survive."

"How are you so calm?"

"How are you so worried?"

While the group was sailing, they entered a storm and in doing so the Shanty received minor damage. The planks were cracked, paddles busted, sail torn, railings broken and the deck was a mess. While Pitch was freaking out over the situation, the others were all calm and composed. Uta and Gordon were even relaxing with a cup of tea in hand. Abell specifically showed no sign of fear during the whole ordeal and even managed to maneuver through the rough waves and harsh wind. Seeing how she needed to tend to the ship, Abell took the liberty to go below and fix what she could. However, Pitch was a nervous wreck and wouldn't allow Abell to do her job as she was panicking way too much. Uta and Gordon watch silently at the scene sipping away at their tea as the usual duo argue and fight.

"Abell, do you not know?" Uta asks. "Pitch is paranoid of drowning."

Abell looks at Pitch, but she turns her head away avoiding eye contact.

"Why didn't you say that in the beginning?" Abell asks angrily. "You're always fine when we're out at sea! Although, that'll explain why you never go near the rails."

"It's too embarrassing to say!" Pitch cries. "Besides, I didn't think we were going to go through a storm! It was so scary!"

Uta sighs and she pays Pitch's shoulder which calms her down. Uta then leads the woman to her seat and gives her a new cup of tea.

"Stay up on deck and keep an eye out for intruders or whatever. Gordon, watch over Pitch." Uta tells Pitch. "I'll help Abell."

Gordon nods in understanding while Pitch looks down with regret. Uta and Abell walk down below deck to see how much damage has been done. Just as Abell said, there is minor leakage and the floor has indeed flooded.
