!!!SPOILER ALERT!!! PLEASE DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU'RE READY FOR SPOILERS REGARDING ONE PIECE FILM RED OR ANY FUTURE CHAPTERS!
In short, a 'what if' fic is Uta was aware that she destroyed Elegia while being controlled by Tot Musica and knows the rea...
Hello again! The previous chapter was supposed to be this one, but I decide to split it apart and that's why it took so long. On the other hand, this one came sooner as I had a good chunk of it written out already! Anyways, I hope you enjoy the next chapter. I don't own One Piece.
"Do you really have to go?"
"As great as it sounds to keep on beating you into the ground, my place is back at Elegia."
The moment dawn approaches, Abell has already packed up and is ready to set sail with Uta in tow. Naturally, Luffy and Rayleigh were there to see them off. Despite drinking the night away, Abell was still able to get up earlier than Uta and prepared the Uta Shanty which was a feat that the diva has yet to understand. Abell used to get drunk after a bottle of rum, but now she can drink for hours straight and recover without getting a hangover not four years ago. Uta is quite positive the human body doesn't work that way, but she's not going to judge nor bother solving the truth.
"Luffy, before we go I want to give you this." Abell said, extending her hand out.
Luffy looks down at Abell's hand to see a red transponder snail. It was a bit strange since it has a bunch of wires and antennae attached to its shell. What's more interesting is that it is connected to a strange dial. Luffy takes the snail carefully and looks at it curiously as he has never seen a transponder snail quite like this.

"This is a special transponder snail connecting to the island of Elegia." Abell tells the pirate. "If you ever want to talk with us or rather Uta, we may be busy, but I'm sure a call from you every now and then would do her good. Plus, if you want any tips on haki, Uta will be more than willing to help I bet."
"Hey, don't assume stuff!" Uta snaps despite knowing that Abell was spot on.
"Seriously?" Luffy asks excitedly. "Thank you so much, Abell!"
"I'm not tattoo woman anymore?" Abell asks with a chuckle.
"Nope, after all the stories Uta told me about you and her other friends, I won't forget!" Luffy said smiling.
"That's good to hear, but I was starting to get used to that name." Abell said with a laugh.
"You said it was a special transponder snail, right?" Rayleigh asks. "Aside from those strange wires and dial, what's so special about it?"
"I'm glad you asked." Abell said, nodding happily. "It's a one of a kind prototype transponder snail that I made. After years of trial and error, I have successfully made two and I figured that this one should be in your care."
"What does it do?" Uta asks.
"Luffy. Uta. Do you know about how video transponder snails work?" Abell asks.
"Pretty much a smaller snail records and projects the image to a larger snail." Uta answers. "Why do you ask?"
"What if I told you that I combined the two into one snail?" Abell asks, smirking.
