One Piece: I'm Destined to Be the Son-in-Law King!-Chapter 222: Bege: The Prey Appears!

The year was 1519 on the Marine Calendar, just beginning.

After a whole week, the big World Conference finally ended.

Because the Revolutionary Army had been making such a scene, the leaders of fifty countries all agreed that they were a real threat. They decided to work together to take them down, putting more effort into finding and stopping the Revolutionary Army.

The Marines were busier than ever before.

Not only did they have to help the royal families get back to their countries, but the World Government also told them to help any kings who had lost their lands to get them back.

The fight with the Revolutionary Army had just started.

In West Blue, on a beautiful island called Naples Island.

The Peace Emissaries Band, a very popular group, was having their second concert there.

Night came, and the cheers from the crowd were incredibly loud.

---

Outside the town, in a big castle.

Capone Bege, a powerful mafia boss who had just taken control of the West Blue underworld, was eating dinner with fancy silverware. But the noise outside was really bothering him.

I can't stand this racket! Bege thought, a dangerous look in his eyes.

"What's all that noise outside?" he asked.

"Boss, the singer Uta is putting on a concert on the island," someone replied nervously.

"A singer? Doesn't she know this is my territory!" Bege said, his voice full of anger.

His men were silent, trying not to make him angrier.

Naples Island was a famous and rich resort in West Blue, right in the middle of everything.

Maybe that's why Uta chose to have her concert there. She probably didn't even know who was in charge of the island.

"Go and grab her!" Bege ordered.

"Boss," one of his men said, his face turning pale. "Uta's bodyguard is the famous Marine Vice Admiral Black Hair."

"Black Hair?" Bege said, his anger fading a little. He knew exactly who Black Hair was. He's one of the big names I want to take down! he thought, a sly smile spreading across his face.

He didn't care much about Uta, but Black Hair was someone he wanted to deal with. But since Black Hair was a Marine, killing him directly would cause too much trouble. Bege liked to play games with his targets, tricking them and betraying them before finishing them off.

Suddenly, the door burst open, and a group of men in black suits walked in.

"Are you the Bege Gang, led by Capone Bege?" one of them asked.

"Who are you?" Bege asked, his eyes narrowing.

How did these guys get in here? he wondered. That means they took out my men outside without making a sound!

The man in black smirked. "You don't need to know who we are. We're here to work with you. We want you to kidnap Uta!"

"Kidnap Uta?" Bege repeated, a smile forming on his lips.

----

Meanwhile, at the concert.

Uta was singing her heart out, and Roya was dealing with some annoying pirates.

Even though Naples Island was known for being peaceful, a bunch of clueless pirates had tried to jump on stage and kidnap Uta.

Two hours later, the concert ended without any problems. The crowd seemed sad that it was over, which meant it was a success.

The group headed back to the hotel.

"Hmm?" Roya said, looking surprised.

The hotel entrance was deserted, and the streets around it were empty. It was clear that someone had cleared the area, but Roya could sense a lot of people hiding nearby.

Suddenly, hundreds of thugs in suits, carrying rifles, stepped out of the shadows, blocking the streets.

"Protect Uta!" Fullbody and Jango shouted, standing beside Uta. She was just a regular person, and even a stray bullet could kill her.

Roya looked around, interested.

West Blue was different from other places. Here, the most dangerous groups weren't pirates, but countless mafia gangs and assassin groups.

It was obvious that these thugs in black were a mafia group.

Suddenly, the shops on both sides of the street slammed shut, and the lights inside went out. Like a chain reaction, every door and window on the street closed.

In an instant, the street went dark.

They've done this before, that's for sure, Roya thought.

The mafia members moved to the sides, and a few fancy old cars pulled up to the hotel entrance. Men in suits rushed forward and opened the doors.

Now that's a show, Roya thought. I have to admit, it's pretty cool!

A short mafia boss with a cigar in his mouth stepped out of one of the cars, acting all arrogant. Two of his top guys stood behind him.

That must be Capone Bege, Roya thought, looking at the boss's clothes, his attitude, and the two guys behind him. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Capone Bege, the boss of the biggest mafia group in West Blue, had recently taken over the whole underworld. He was known as a very dangerous man.

The two guys behind Bege were probably "Strange Gun" Vito and "Killer" Gotti, two famous criminals in West Blue.

Capone Bege took a large hand cannon from one of his men and pointed it at Roya and his group. The other thugs also raised their hand cannons.

Bege grinned and pulled the trigger!

Instead of bullets, colored confetti shot out of the cannon!

The thugs around him also pulled their triggers, and a huge cloud of colored confetti filled the street like fireworks.

Then, bright colored lights turned on!

"Uta! Uta! Uta!" the mafia members shouted, each wearing a hat with Uta's name on it. Even Bege was wearing one.

Roya was speechless.

These gangsters are putting on a show, he thought.

"Uta, I'm your biggest fan!" Bege and his two guys ripped open their suits, revealing white shirts with "Uta" printed on them.

They had really come prepared!

Uta sighed in relief, smiling. Even though these people looked scary, they were just fans, so it was okay.

"Thank you for this surprise!" she said.

It was definitely a surprise.

Roya stared at Bege, confused. I can't believe this guy is an Uta fan, he thought. He doesn't seem like the type.

But this carefully planned welcome was impressive.

Even Roya had to admit that it was well done.

"Uta, my name is Capone Bege," Bege said, blushing like a schoolboy. He politely opened the car door and invited, "The security here is terrible. Please, come with me."

"I've also prepared a special gift for you, and I have something very important to talk about with you."

Uta looked uncertainly at Roya.

"Let's get in the car," Roya said, smiling and nodding. He wanted to see what Bege was up to.

Since this island is Bege's territory, it doesn't matter where we stay, he thought. We can't avoid him anyway.

He's come prepared, so he must have something planned. There's no point in refusing. I might as well see what he's got up his sleeve.

I'll play along with him!
