Uta's Idol.

The Section Leaders Vs. 'Straw Hat' Monkey D. Luffy.

The chapter where Luffy and Uta's friends battling it out has finally come. Can Pitch, Rave, and Echo defeat the rubber man with a four hundred million bounty? What kind of battle will this be? Read the chapter to find out! I don't own One Piece.

"Alright then, who's first? May it be one at a time or all at once, I'm ready to take you all down!"

"Oh, this will be fun. I can't wait to throw down against someone like you." Pitch said, smiling from behind her mask. "I can't help, but feel a little excited about this."

After Pitch asked Luffy to spar with her and the others, Luffy accepted gratefully knowing he can finally get the chance to fight the friend's who Uta highly praised. For Pitch and Rave, after hearing so many crazy stories about Luffy and the impact he had on Uta's life, there was no way they were going to let this chance slip away from them.

"I think we will go from easiest to hardest and will go in order of who's strongest." Pitch suggests. "You don't mind taking this one at a time, right?"

"Of course not!" Luffy said, happily. "So who am I going to fight first?"

Even though the majority of them had their blood boiling, hungry for battle, only one was on the ropes about this. That lone person is Echo. While Echo was ready to do whatever it takes to get stronger, she did not sign up for fighting against notorious outlaws. Naturally, she did not expect to fight against Tot Musica either, and sure it's a lot scarier than Luffy, but at least she was with a group when she was fighting. Fighting someone from the Worst Generation by herself is not what she had in mind when making this trip.

"I guess that will be me." Echo sighs as she raises her hand nervously. "I'm technically the weakest in the group."

Pitch looked over, sensing Echo's nervousness and put a hand on her shoulder and smiled.

"Don't worry, you will be fine." Pitch said, reassuring the young teen. "Remember this is training, not a fight to the death."

"Yeah...but does he know that?" Echo asks, pointing to Luffy who's already doing some stretches. "I don't think I can get beat up one-sidedly again."

"Well, if he didn't go a little hard on you, it wouldn't be good training." Pitch concluded giving Echo a pat on the back.

"Wow, thanks for the pep talk." Echo sarcastically thanks Pitch.

"Put it like this, do you think that you fall that easily?" Pitch asks Echo in a snarky tone. "You didn't come here to stay weak, did you?"

Echo twitched from Pitch's words and remembers what she told the group when she first met on how she wanted to become stronger. Lately, Echo has gone against and met unimaginably strong people. Uta, Luffy, the Section Leaders, Bluebell, Rayleigh and even Tot Musica. She remembered facing the Section Leaders as an enemy and remembered how she thought she had no chance of beating any of them. She had a similar feeling when she was fighting that strong music warrior. However, she has learned that she is much stronger than she realizes. Then, she remembered something that Vegapunk told her and this gave her and she tightens her fist, unknowingly falling for Pitch's bait.

"Don't tell me the lab rat is weaker than she looks." Pitch continues, smirking evilly behind her mask. "It seems I underestimated you."

"As if." Echo said, pushing her anxiety aside to make way for her aggressive side. "I won't go down easy."

"Atta girl." Pitch praises with a cackle. "I don't know much about Luffy's powers other than that he can stretch, so good luck."

"Yeah, I'll make sure to rough him up for you." Echo said, narrowing her eyes at Luffy.
