Just as everyone waited for Kelo's reply, Nami, who had been by Luffy's side, suddenly looked at Luffy in confusion and asked,
"Huh? Is there a wanted poster for Kelo in that office? Why didn't I see it?"
Luffy was instantly speechless. What a great teammate he had!
But he still maintained a confident demeanor.
"Your eyes are only on treasure. How would you pay attention to other things?"
With that one sentence, Nami's little face turned red, and she smiled awkwardly.
Kelo, who had been silent, finally moved. He pushed up his glasses with his palm, his cold gaze fixed on Luffy.
He had just caught a piece of information from the conversation between Luffy and Nami: they had indeed been to Morka's office.
Although he didn't know why pirates would go to a Navy Captain's office, it didn't seem to be a lie.
He couldn't help but curse Morka, the fool, for keeping his wanted poster even after capturing him.
But even so, Kelo remained calm and said,
"I think, sir, you must have mistaken me for someone else, right?"
"I am Clahadore, the butler here, not some pirate Kelo."
At this moment, Kaya also stepped forward to speak for Kelo.
"Yes, Clahadore has been the butler here for three years. He has always been very gentle and kind. He's not a pirate!"
"Mr. Straw Hat, you must have mistaken him for someone else."
With Kaya's protection, Kelo couldn't help but become more confident.
How could Luffy's word alone make this foolish young lady suspect him?
In the past three years, he had completely gained the young lady's trust!
Without decisive evidence to prove he was Kelo, Kaya's opinion would not change.
At this point, Kelo continued to retort to Luffy.
"Everything requires evidence, sir."
"For example, you just admitted yourself that you are a group of pirates."
Kelo cleverly took the opportunity to point out the fact that Luffy and his group were pirates, and the credibility of pirates was even lower.
Then, he looked at Usopp, a cold glint in his eyes.
"You, fellow, usually disturbing the young lady's rest is one thing, but today you brought a group of pirates to approach her. What are your intentions?"
"As expected of a dirty pirate's son, you would even come up with such a false accusation to approach the young lady?"
When Usopp heard Kelo say the word "dirty," his previous fear completely vanished, replaced by anger.
Kelo knew that Usopp's weakness was his father, so he wanted to use this to provoke Usopp, make him show a brutal side in front of Kaya, and thus sever their association.
Just as he was about to further provoke Usopp, Luffy spoke up.
"You want evidence, right?"
Kelo was stunned. He looked at Luffy curiously, knowing that this person was the most difficult to deal with among the group. He frowned slightly and nodded.
"That's right! You can't just make me bear the name of a dirty pirate based on your words alone, can you?"
Hearing Kelo categorize his former self as dirty, Luffy couldn't help but lament his determination to completely abandon the past.
But lamenting aside, he still had to expose Kelo's true colors.
"Uta, sing a song!"
Luffy suddenly said.
Everyone present was stunned by these words.
Singing?
What song to sing at this time?
Only Uta instantly understood Luffy's meaning. She leaped onto the roof of Kaya's villa and began to sing.
Everyone looked on in confusion, not understanding why.
Then, all of them witnessed an incredible scene.
The scenery around them suddenly changed. The original ground turned into a splendid rainbow-like runway.
Kaya's villa became a stage, and all the flowers and plants in the yard transformed into musical notes that pulsed with life.
In the blink of an eye, all of them had arrived in a magnificent and dazzling musical world.
This was the ability of Uta's Devil Fruit, which could subtly draw people's minds into a musical world through music.
As long as you heard Uta's singing, no matter where you were or how strong you were, you could not avoid Uta's ability.
Furthermore, those who entered the musical world didn't even know that they had fallen into the ability.
And their bodies at this moment had all become empty shells, completely controlled by Uta in reality.
Inside the mental world.
"Wh-… what's going on?"
Nami exclaimed, looking at all the fresh things around her.
"So beautiful!"
Kaya exclaimed in delight, looking at the pulsating musical notes and the fresh environment around her.
"This is bad. Kaya's house is gone."
Usopp felt sorry for Kaya, who would no longer have a place to live.
"A Devil Fruit?"
Zoro instantly realized the reason.
Kelo naturally also guessed that this was the ability of a Devil Fruit, but he only felt that things were getting worse and worse, and his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
At this moment, Luffy searched his memories and, through his insight, transmitted Kelo's wanted poster and relevant information to Uta.
Uta then used her ability to transform musical notes into anything she wanted, creating Kelo's wanted poster and relevant information in front of everyone.
"This wanted poster and information are what I saw in Morka's office."
"Take a look for yourselves!"
Luffy said to the others.
In reality, this information was something he had fabricated by picking out a portion of the information that could prove Kelo's identity.
Soon, Nami, Usopp, Kaya, and Zoro took the information and wanted poster and began to read them.
"This wanted poster does look exactly the same!"
They looked at the wanted poster, then at Kelo, and indeed, they looked exactly alike.
"The information says that Kelo, due to his fighting habits, is accustomed to pushing up his glasses with his palm…"
Everyone looked up. Kelo was currently pushing up his glasses with his palm.
"The information says that Kelo's weapon is a pair of cat paw gloves, and hidden inside the gloves is a weapon called [Ten Blades]."
Everyone looked up. Kelo's hands were indeed wearing a pair of cat paw gloves.
...
The group looked at the information in their hands for a while, then at Kelo.
Every feature described in the information perfectly matched Kelo.
"Enough!"
Finally, Kelo could no longer hold back.
