Uta's Idol.

My Message.

Apologies for the late posting. Now we're getting to a chapter on what if Uta helped Luffy in Rayleigh's plan to invade Marineford. How will Uta contribute to helping Luffy with Rayleigh's plan to send the message? Read to find out. I don't own One Piece.

It was a risky plan that Rayleigh had come up with. Trying to send a message to Luffy's crewmates that he won't be returning to them at Sabaody by making the front headline of the news by invading Marineford. Despite the risks and burden, Luffy agrees to Rayleigh's plan and the group begins to brainstorm.

"I'm still shocked that you would agree to this." Jimbe said. "I have underestimated you, Luffy."

"It's fine." Luffy said smiling. "Right now, my crew is more important."

"Honestly, I'd find it more strange if Luffy didn't accept Rayleigh's proposal." Uta said. "This is Luffy we're talking about."

Hancock was still in shock from Uta's confession and was trying to recover in the meantime, Therefore, she was unable to join in on the conversation.

"First off, let's go and decide what kind of message we will send." Rayleigh said, rubbing his beard. "We can't speak or show off some writing."

"How about a symbol?" Uta suggests. "Maybe a drawing or something? Like putting it on your shirt?"

"If so, it has to have some sort of meaning to it." Jimbe said. "It can't be too obvious or else others may understand it."

Everyone stops to think and murmurs for a bit.

"Luffy, we agreed on regrouping with your friends in three days, right?" Rayleigh asks. "Why don't we use that little piece of info to our advantage?"

"Sure, but what do we say?" Luffy asks. "I can't just write it all down."

"Why don't we represent it by numbers?" Uta suggests. "For example, why not represent three days by writing '3D' instead? To let the other know that we won't meet, we can cross it off."

"That's a good idea." Jimbe said. "I don't think many people will interpret the letter 'D' for the word day."

"Ok, they know what three days mean, but what then?" Luffy asks.

"That's simple, we're going back to Rayleigh's first idea." Uta said. "Luffy, you're simply too weak to go to the New World."

"What we need is to decide on how long you want to train for." Rayleigh said. "I recommend at least three years."

"THREE YEARS?!" Luffy screams in shock. "But by then, someone may get the One Piece by then!"

"You can't rush training Luffy." Jimbe said. "Although, seeing as how the war has affected the seas, I can see that many pirates will be after that great treasure."

"Damn it, can't I train for four months?" Luffy asks desperately.

"If you want to get stronger, you need to take a lot more than that." Rayleigh said. "Plus, if your crew gets the message, surely they want time to build their strengths too."

Luffy groans and pouts in response. He looks over to Uta for support, but she nods her head in disagreement to Luffy's proposal.

"We can discuss the details later, but it took me at least two years to successfully master my observation haki." Uta said remembering back to when she first started her training. "Naturally, the longer you train, the stronger you become. Isn't that what you want?"

"What's haki?" Luffy asks.

"Let's focus on the plan." Rayleigh said. "Luffy, you can't get any stronger in a few months and I recommend three years."
