"You seek my treasure; find it, I left everything at that island," were the last words of Gol D. Roger, echoing throughout the world. Utakata, Kenny, and their crew ventured into the Grand Line, following the rising tide of excitement after Roger ushered in the New Age of Pirates. More and more people succumbed to the allure of unimaginable riches and decided to immerse themselves in this epic quest in the mysterious seas.
A day had passed since Roger's execution, and chaos had erupted everywhere. The once tranquil seas were now adorned with numerous new pirate ships, each yearning for adventure and wealth. Utakata, reading the latest news from a newspaper they had brought from Loguetown, could only comment, "The seas are growing busier by the day. Everyone wants to find that treasure."
Kenny, an experienced pirate, smiled and nodded. "You're right, Utakata. Roger's words have stirred the hearts of many. They are enticed by the promise of untold riches."
Nevertheless, deep within his thoughts, Utakata still wondered about the true meaning of "One Piece," which so many people sought. Although he was a transmigrant from a different world, his knowledge of the pirate world remained limited. Their quest would lead them into the unknown, and he contemplated what could make the treasure so valuable that it could alter one's destiny.
As Utakata was lost in his reverie, one of his crew members came running with a serious expression. "Captain! There's a pirate ship approaching with hostile intent!"
Utakata immediately prepared, instructing the Kirigakure Pirates crew to ready their ship for a potential sea battle. "Quickly inform them about the might of the Kirigakure Pirates!" he yelled to his crew member.
Their shout was met with courage from the crew members who filled the ship. They braced themselves to confront the looming threat, their faces filled with determination and bravery.
A battle at sea was an inevitable part of a pirate's life, and Utakata and the Kirigakure Pirates were ready to face it head-on.
