Uta's Idol.

Pitch vs. Ulti! A Battle Between Sisters.

Apologies that this chapter came a little late as I needed more time to write this one as I had a made a lot of revisions when writing this chapter. As you can tell from the title, today's chapter will be centered around a fight between Pitch and Ulti. We will soon see who will come out on top in this sibling rivalry where it's more than their pride that's one the line. Look forward to see how that battle unfolds! I don't own One Piece.

~Back in the Flower Capital...

"We looked everywhere and found almost nothing about my brother." Rave said with a heavy sigh. "I'm starting to lose hope."

After several hours of asking the civilians about Kamazo the Manslayer, they were frustrated that their efforts turned up with nothing. Either people knew nothing or told them what they already suspected, which was a man who kills people at random. After their long search, they decided to sit in Kyoshiro's manor eating some Dango that their staff offered them.

"Maybe we're looking at this the wrong way." Echo suggested as she ate one of her dango balls. "Maybe Killer is part of something much bigger than we realize."

"Like what?" Rave asks as she finishes eating her dango. "What're you thinking about?"

"What if he's working undercover or something?" Echo suggested. "You said that your family came from a line of assassins, right?"

"Yeah, my brother taught me all I know about the line of work." Rave confirms. "Why bring it up?"

"What if Kaido or Orochi went to exploit him for that talent and made him like an assassin for the shogun?" Echo suggested. "That would explain why no one would know anything about him or is aware of his motives. If they have a member of his crew held captive or something, that would also explain why he's working for them."

"Sounds a bit over the top, don't you think?" Rave asks, a bit skeptical of Echo's theory. "Well, if what you said is true, it would explain why he had one of those vile SMILES too though. The enemy must've fed it to him."

"Well, there I can think of two people who could help us prove my suspicions." Echo said as she finished her dango. "One would be to ask Kyoshiro directly, which we would most likely get shot down. The other is to find Nico Robin. I'm sure that she probably has an answer since she's been here gathering information on her own too."

"I'm down for meeting up with the Straw Hats, but they're in hiding and given who Robin is, I doubt it will be easy to find her." Rave said, frustrated as she crossed her arms. "Where do we even begin looking for them?"

Echo copied Rave and crossed her arms too as both women pondered on what they should do.

"Hey, you two said something about my crew." a masculine voice said to them. "Are you looking for us or something?"

Rave and Echo turned to the source of the voice and were shocked to see the swordsman of the Straw Hats, Zoro, standing before them with a bottle of sake in his hand.

"Now, how do people from Wano know who we are when this place is closed off." Zoro asks out loud as he chugs down some alcohol. "You two must've come from overseas, right?"

At first, Rave and Echo stared blankly at Zoro, shocked to see a member of the Straw Hat Pirates and soon screamed while pointing at Zoro in a mix of surprise and excitement. Echo was the first to react and stood up, excited to meet another member of the famed Straw Hats Pirates that Uta holds so much praise to.

"You are Roronoa Zoro, right?" Echo asks enthusiastically. "Talk about great timing! We were looking all over the place for you all!"

At first, Zoro was about to answer right away, but he cut himself and acted a bit distracted.
