"I look so cool!" Luffy said smiling. "Look! You can see the tattoo there!"

When Uta goes over to the next page, a piece of paper falls to the floor catching everyone's attention. Curiously, Uta picks up the piece of paper and takes a look at it. The diva pales and trembles at the sight.

"Uta, are you ok?" Jimbe asks, concerned.

"I got a bounty!" Uta screams in shock. "Look at it!"

Uta shows the group her wanted poster which shows her mask and her upper body. She was bending low to the ground with her spear in hand.

"'Scarlet Songstress' Uta." Uta said as she read the wanted poster. "I have a bounty of one hundred and one million?"

"Wow! That's a huge starting bounty." Luffy said shocked. "You're famous!"

"I'm famous as is. Wow, that's a lot of berries." Uta said smiling. "At least, it has my real name and not Red. Other than you guys, my crew, and maybe the Red Haired Pirates, no one Red is Uta."

Uta couldn't describe this feeling. Why does having a bounty feel so rewarding? It's sickening to think that she's happy about something like this. Uta remembers when the crew always talks about their bounties and how happy they were.

Bad, Uta. Uta scolds herself. You're a diva, not a pirate.

Uta thinks back to what Hancock had in plan as they figured they'd have figured that this situation would be brought up. Uta can only hope Hancock's plan will go through.

"Do you think tattoo and mask girl will be ok?" Luffy asks, concerned. "I don't think the tattoo girl will be very happy about this."

"Yeah, they will be pissed. Abell and Gordon in general will definitely kill me when I get back." Uta groans as she can imagine their reaction. "Knowing Abell, she will figure out that I'm not at Sabaody and will take me back by any force necessary. Not looking forward to it."

~Meanwhile, in Elegia...

"Sooo, if you saw a criminal with that bounty, would you go after it?"

"Well, I try not to hunt any criminals with a bounty of fifty million or higher. Trying to fight someone with a bounty over a hundred million is like fighting my brother and we know how that turned out."

Pitch and Rave were sitting in the lounge reading the newspaper. Everyone's wounds have been healed and preparations for their next project have been underway. Ever since the group found out about Ace's death, everyone could only assume that Uta must be taking it hard. So they decided to hold off on departing, but now the group is deciding on heading to Sabaody soon. However, that decision will change soon as Abell and Gordon have yet to see the news.

"Are you going to tell them?" Rave asks nervously.

"I don't NEED to." Pitch hesitantly said. "I mean, she'll find out eventually."

"I'll find what eventually?"

Pitch and Rave jump as they see their older colleague approach them curiously. Naturally, Abell was clueless on why the pair was freaking out, but noticed Luffy's picture in the newspaper.

"Hey! It's Luffy!" Abell said. "What's he doing?"

Abell is quite confused at the picture and even more so at where it took place.

"Yeah, we don't have a clue either." Pitch said moving the newspaper away from Abell's view. "Must be a sign for his crew if I had to make a guess. They were planning to meet, but we're separated by Kuma."

"But, going to Marineford to deliver the message...what are those guys thinking?" Rave wonders. "Those four are insane."

"Hm, four?" Abell asks. "There are others beside Luffy?"
