Zephyr took Uta as his adopted daughter, and publicly announced it.
Unlike Kidd and the others, although Kidd knew Zephyr's identity and was also taken in as an adopted son, they mostly acted based on Zephyr's hidden side.
Uta is the adopted daughter of Marine Zephyr. Zephyr thinks this identity might be better for Uta.
Zephyr adopting a girl caused a stir in the Marine headquarters because Zephyr became increasingly gloomy after his family was killed by pirates, even becoming somewhat extreme. His extreme hatred for pirates made him a bit abnormal.
Now that he has adopted a daughter, maybe this girl can bring back the kind and gentle Zephyr of the past.
Garp, Sengoku, Kong, and Tsuru, Zephyr's old friends, are all happy. Even An, a younger member, is sincerely happy for Zephyr.
Uta, still very young, has become the princess of the Marine headquarters.
Even though Zephyr is now mostly a Marine instructor, he still needs to go to sea often. To prevent the disaster that happened to Zephyr in the past from happening again, Garp suggested an idea today.
"Why don't you let Uta grow up in the East Blue with my grandson?"
Garp patted Zephyr's shoulder and said casually.
The environment of the Marine headquarters is not really suitable for children to grow up in.
Especially for a little girl like Uta, even though she is still young, they can all see that she is already a beauty in the making.
Letting such a girl grow up in the Marine headquarters, which is full of rough people and even potentially Celestial Dragons, is simply irresponsible!
"Forget it, Garp. Although the East Blue is the weakest sea, pirates often appear there." Zephyr said unhappily. "You should bring Luffy to the Marine headquarters!"
Luffy had only been born for a short time when Garp threw him into the East Blue. Zephyr was almost mad when he found out about this.
Because he knows that Luffy will be the most dazzling rookie in the future, and he carries the hope of wiping out pirates. Zephyr certainly hopes that he can grow up in an environment like the Marine headquarters.
As for Luffy's father, Dragon, becoming a revolutionary, Zephyr doesn't really care.
The revolutionaries are not pirates. Zephyr only targets pirates. The revolutionaries can give the World Government a headache, which is a good thing.
Garp said with a smile, "You're thinking too much. Luffy needs a normal environment to grow up in, at least a childhood that a normal child should have."
"When he's older, I'll bring him over to become a powerful Marine!"
Zephyr wanted to persuade him further, but he couldn't help but sigh thinking of Garp's temper.
But Garp's words touched Zephyr.
Should he let Uta and Luffy get to know each other?
Luffy, this extremely dazzling star, he needs to pay attention to his growth.
Zephyr's understanding of the Emperor's Book of World Management is still lacking. He can't understand many things. Although he has learned a lot that has benefited him greatly, it is difficult to reach a high level.
Therefore, he can't see Luffy's future growth path clearly. He only knows that he may be the person related to the fate of the world, and the world's situation will definitely change because of him in the future.
Garp's words are not bad. It's not good for Uta to live in the Marine headquarters all the time.
Because the pirates killed his family, Zephyr hates pirates very much. This hatred even affects him in all aspects. At first, he adopted Uta as his adopted daughter with the idea of using her.
But after spending a long time with the child, he developed feelings.
Including Kidd and the others he secretly adopted, Zephyr also truly treats them as his own sons.
If possible, he also wants to give these children a good environment to grow up in.
He couldn't help thinking seriously about Garp's words, and finally sighed and said, "What you said makes sense. Uta really can't live in the Marine headquarters all the time. She will definitely become a Marine in the future, but at least she should have a normal and happy childhood."
Garp was overjoyed when he heard this, "That's right, that's right. There's no need to be so strict with children!"
Zephyr glanced at Garp, and said helplessly, "I remember that your grandson is in a remote country village in the East Blue, is that really okay?"
"Of course, there's no problem." Garp said definitively, "This old man goes to clean it up every once in a while."
Zephyr thought that was true, and he would definitely go there often. Which pirates would be so bold as to go to the sea area they often visit?
However, he felt uneasy when he thought of his family's experience.
Those pirates were targeting his wife and son in the first place. If they knew that he had a daughter and she was not in the Marine headquarters, they might go there to retaliate.
(Unfortunately, the Blue Dream organization is in the early stages of development and doesn't have anyone to use yet.)
Zephyr thought about it and decided that it was necessary to watch over her, so he let his hidden side secretly stay there.
Thinking this way, he felt completely relieved and agreed to Garp's words.
"Okay, I'll go to the East Blue with you in a few days."
Besides this, there is another thing Zephyr needs to accomplish.
Although he knows that Uta is the key to opening the secrets of the Land of Music, he always has to go there in advance to see what secrets about demons are there, as well as some clues about the Shikon Jewel fragments.
......
While Zephyr was thinking about Uta, Luffy, and Elegia, the Land of Music, Shanks had been in the North Blue for some time.
He is looking for the Ice Demon Sakaki that Zephyr mentioned. He also has some understanding of Sakaki, knowing that he has a certain relationship with Little Demon Dragon, the son of the Fire Demon Lord, and he is also a subordinate of this Demon Lord.
And he had cooperated with the Marine in the past, so if he can cooperate with the Marine, he can cooperate with himself.
Unfortunately, he also found some traces of the Ice Demon Sakaki, but he has not been able to find him.
But at least he has confirmed that he is indeed in the North Blue. Shanks is still young and can take his time to find him.
Because of the magic of the Driving Away card, Shanks's strength is naturally much stronger than himself in the original timeline, and he himself is also developing his growth path with the extreme speed brought by the Driving Away card.
Even if Sakaki doesn't want to talk to him and wants to attack him, Shanks has the power to fight.
At least, even if he is not his match, he has the ability to protect himself.
However, what he didn't expect was that this search would not take a month or two, but a year or two.
Moreover, before meeting Sakaki, he also met someone he never expected to meet again.
Himura Kenshin!
