"Luffy..." Uta seemed to move on her own and didn't know when she had started running towards Luffy at that moment.
Luffy let the emotional girl hug him as she jumped on him with quite a bit of force, hugging him back while his arms went around her back.
"Luffy!" She cried out while squeezing his neck.
"Uta..." Luffy calmly commented.
"I'm so happy to see you, to see you after all these years... are you really real?" Uta continued to exclaim, and Luffy thought about how she had been in a complicated situation over the last few years, and he didn't need to be an expert in observation Haki to see the darkness that surrounded her from blaming herself all this time.
"Me too, Uta. I'm really happy to see you again, after all this time." Luffy cracked a small smile.
They stayed embraced for a while, feeling each other's body heat. It was only after 10 minutes that Luffy picked her up by the waist and moved her back a bit while they looked into each other's eyes the whole time.
"Let's sit down, you have a beautiful place here, why not enjoy it a bit." Luffy invited, and Uta followed him to sit in front of the place.
"I still can't believe it's you... but you are real, that's what matters..." She said, sitting down next to him and leaning her shoulder against the old friend as if he would escape at any moment.
"Yes, I found this island after a few days of traveling." Luffy wasn't bothered at all by Uta invading his space.
"But how did you find me? How did you know you would find me here, no one has ever shown up..." She said with a sad tone.
"Look, Uta... I couldn't have come here before, and Shanks never talked about it, I only found out a few months ago, so I came here as soon as I could, I didn't want to leave you here alone anymore." He commented in a tone he usually didn't use, Luffy really cared for Uta and didn't want her to stay here.
"You don't want to leave me here alone?" She asked.
"Yes, I want to take you with me." Luffy got straight to the point.
"What?! No, you can't just come here and say something like that!" Uta looked at him surprised.
"Uta, let's talk about this later, okay? I just want to see how an old friend is doing..." Luffy wanted to first talk with her before discussing his plans.
Uta sighed and nodded. "Alright, tell me how your life has been, how is Lucy? I saw in the newspaper that she was a marine..." Uta asked curiously.
Luffy began to tell her about his life, how Shanks had given him the hat, and his subsequent years with Curly Dadan.
"What? You were raised by mountain bandits?" Uta laughed at that.
"Yes, you should have seen, we suffered when Lucy ate all the food, and we tried to make her spit it all out again." Luffy smiled.
"So, you ended up having other brothers..." She commented, placing her hands on her chin while looking at the lake.
"Yes, Ace and Sabo, they're still around, I met Ace recently and beat him up, I will meet Sabo soon..." Luffy commented.
"You're always so violent..." She commented, displeased.
"Didn't you see my bounty? I'm a pirate worth 750 million." Luffy laughed proudly.
"You really became a pirate... it's no wonder I saw your aura when I found you in town." Uta still sounded dissatisfied.
"That's how I am, Uta, you knew that before even wanting to make a promise with me, remember? I shouted that I would dominate all the seas of this world." Luffy mentioned with a smile.
Mentioning that made Uta quite embarrassed as a blush appeared on her face. "You remember the promise..." she murmured but then lowered her head. "I doubt we can fulfill it, you already have a woman, that Yamato from the newspaper..." Her voice broke at the end, like a broken heart.
"..." Luffy remained silent. Until he sighed and took the girl's hand, "How about we have a date today, this island seems quite interesting, no past, no commitments, just you and me?" He asked.
"A date?" She seemed surprised by that.
"Yes, however, I will have to wear a mask, I don't want to be recognized as an evil pirate here, it wouldn't be nice..." Luffy commented.
"Phew! Hahahahaha. You're right, people would start running." Uta began to laugh, imagining the scene.
"So, that's a yes." Luffy commented, leaving the girl flustered.
"You've become much bolder than I remember, you were much more shy and innocent, where did that boy I met go, huh?" She finally said and continued. "Alright, a date tonight." Even in conflict, she ended up accepting to go out with her old childhood crush.
Luffy smiled at Uta's response, he helped her up, and together, they started walking towards her house as she led the way. Uta was entrusted to the protection under the king of the music realm, but she lived in a separate house by her own choice, being a house on a small hill. Both Luffy and Uta put on cloaks again and began to walk through the city, while Uta took the initiative to grab Luffy's hand and lead him to her house.
Arriving at Uta's house after leaving the city, they entered the place, and Luffy almost laughed at so many feminine things and musical instruments. Luffy looked around with interest. "You've made a beautiful home here, Uta. It has a very personal touch."
"Thank you, I wanted to make a place to call my own." Uta said.
"Hey, Uta, do you still play that violin? I remember you practicing on the ship's deck..." Luffy asked, looking at the small and quite old object in a corner, he still remembered the girl playing a similar one during his time with Shanks.
"Oh, yes, I still play. Actually, I've been composing some music. Maybe I can play for you later..." Uta replied, a shy smile forming on her lips.
"Hey, is this me and Lucy?" Luffy pointed to a paper on the wall where there were stick figures of children.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Uta quickly ran and removed the paper from the wall before Luffy could see more.
"Hahahaha. No need to be so embarrassed." Luffy smiled at her.
"I'll get ready, wait for me, you can take a shower after me." She mentioned, grabbing a towel and heading for the shower.
She came out a while later and went to her room wrapped in a towel with a blush on her face, Luffy entered the bathroom the next moment, taking a shower and buying some clothes from the store to wear.
While Uta was still in her room, Luffy stayed in the living room, waiting for the girl to get ready. She came out soon after and was surprised by Luffy as soon as she saw him.
Luffy, despite his usually carefree nature, had his own style and surprised the girl by choosing an elegant outfit for the date with Uta. He wore a white T-shirt with a black jacket and dark pants with boots of the same color, still wearing the hat, he put on a Japanese mask of a red demon, hiding his face.
"You chose a nice outfit, but that mask is scary..." Uta commented while crossing her arms around her breasts.
"Don't mind that, it's style. Besides, you look very beautiful." Luffy smiled at the girl.
Uta, for her part, chose a dress that hugged her curves, it had a baby blue fabric that made her look quite beautiful in it. Her hair, notable for its two distinct colors, was loose, falling over her shoulders in soft waves. Uta's mask was of a peacock with feathers, quite elegant for the girl.
"So you're quite famous here?" Luffy asked, approaching her.
"Why do you think I hid in the crowd today?" She said, waiting for him to come closer.
"I doubt you can hide just with a mask, but shall we go?" Luffy commented, waiting for her to take his hand.
As soon as Uta took his hand, he led her out of the house, heading towards the city for a night just between the two of them, forgetting their past and problems.
They walked together through the island, drawing attention from people walking through the city night, recognizing the couple in masks with elegant clothes.
"That hair color... It's Uta-San!" someone shouted in surprise. Uta was much more famous than Luffy had imagined, as she was an idol here.
"Who's that? He's such a tall man!" Someone exclaimed since Luffy was 2.10 meters tall and Uta only 170.
"Uta-San is dating!" A young man cried.
"It seems so... I would never have imagined this, Uta-San has always been so reserved, but I still wonder who is the handsome guy behind the mask." A young woman murmured.
"You're quite famous, aren't you..." Luffy commented.
"I sing every weekend, the island gets a lot of tourists on that day, so I'm quite well-known." She commented.
"I see, you deserve your success then." Luffy smiled behind the mask.
"My dream is to make my music reach everyone in this world, I'm sure I will achieve it and I will create an ideal world where everyone will be happy!" She exclaimed and Luffy didn't say anything to that.
Imagining the future she would encounter, today she is a bit different from her self 2 years in the future, but that would soon change if Luffy didn't take her away from this place.
They finally arrived at an elegant place as requested by Uta, who liked this place, Luffy ordered two tables at the highest spot facing the sea and they sat down to talk.
"What can I bring for you?" The waiter asked and Luffy ordered some wine.
Luffy and Uta continued to talk like old friends about all the subjects they hadn't yet discussed, Luffy talked about his journey and the people, but that he won in the East Blue, Uta talked about her life on the island and how she made friends with some of them, everyone loved the girl. Uta got a bit loose with the wine while Luffy managed to resist better.
"Tell me, Luffy. Do you still love me?" She suddenly asked, which made Luffy raise an eyebrow.
"You're drunk, I won't have this kind of conversation with you." Luffy shrugged.
"But our promise was to stay together! You're married, you broke our promise..." She murmured in the last part.
"Do you love me, Uta?" Luffy asked.
"Of course I do... I've always loved you, I wished we could stay together maybe even in that small village in the East Blue, but so much happened, still, I had hoped you would come here to take me after Shanks left me... But when you finally come... you have someone else..." She said quite sad with the effect of the drink. The few people that were there, looked surprised at Uta's words.
"Sorry about that..." She realized her words and apologized. "I'm exaggerating, can you take me home?" She said and Luffy sighed, it seems this night wasn't as pleasant as he imagined, but he respected Uta.
Luffy paid the bill and they left the restaurant, "Can you carry me on your back?" Uta suddenly asked.
"On my back? How about we fly a bit?" Luffy asked.
"Fly? Can you do that?" She asks surprised and before she could react, Luffy grabbed her like a princess and flew into the sky.
"This is amazing..." She murmured fearlessly as she looked at the island below them and the moon in the sky. Luffy made this kind of trip until her house, landing softly at the door.
"I've never flown before!" She said excitedly, at least she had a moment of fun and without drama during that night.
"I'm glad you liked it..." Luffy gave a small smile.
"Let's go inside, you'll sleep here tonight." She said and opened the door.
"I'll sleep on the couch then..." Luffy commented as he arranged the space in the living room while the girl entered the bedroom without saying anything.
"Luffy, you don't need to sleep on the couch..." Luffy heard Uta open the door and saw her naked looking at him while covering her breasts.
"You, I want you, Luffy... I want at least one night with the man I love." She said timidly, but with some courage.
Luffy would talk to her tomorrow about these things, he wanted her as his woman too in this life, and would speak when she was more sober, but seeing her naked looking with desire, even with a bit of alcohol for courage, how could Luffy refuse this woman?

Do you think their development was too rushed in your opinion? I wanted to create a quick drama before starting the romance between them, but I don't want to drag it out for too long.
