One Piece's Vice Captain 2

Chapter 377
A tall and handsome young man was standing next to an elegant empty sofa, holding a white cloud in his arms. His long hair, tied up with a white headband, occasionally fluttered in the wind.

"Is this the music from the outer sea? It's amazing, so super super beautiful~", wearing a pink cherry blossom kimono, Ayu stared at the wing bubbles floating in front of her eyes, intoxicated by the heavenly singing, "It's so beautiful that I'm about to melt~~"

"There are still many interesting places. I'll take you to see them when the time comes," said Ace with a smile as he sat cross-legged on the grass, looking relaxedly at the screen with bubbles flying all around him.

"Ace, Noah!" Luffy flew over, looked at the three people here, and then looked at his eldest brother, "Ace, have you seen Encore?"

"Luffy?!" Ace only just realized that his younger brother was here as well. He stood up in surprise and hugged him.

"Brother Luffy!", Oyu also rushed over happily, pointing happily at the lively stage, "The girl over there sings so beautifully!"

"Really? As long as Yu-chan likes it~", Luffy smiled and reached out to pat her little head gently.

"You are one of the Four Emperors now, why are you still making such a fuss?" Ace looked at him with amusement.

"Yeah! I'm awesome!" Luffy grinned and quickly continued to ask, "So have you seen Anko? She suddenly disappeared!"

"Gone?" Ace immediately became nervous and quickly used his observation Haki to sense the surroundings. "We haven't been in touch since you left Wano Country. Didn't she tell you where she was going before she left?"

"It's not that she left, it's that she disappeared." Thinking of the scene where An Ke disappeared in front of him with a puzzled expression, Luffy subconsciously clenched his fists and tried to stay calm, "I can't find her no matter what."

"Speaking of which," Ace looked at the empty sofa and noticed something was wrong, "Tiger Shark is gone too."

"He's here as expected," Luffy frowned immediately when he heard the name of the shark, but he felt inexplicably relieved.

"You just called Noah's name. They always act together," Ace found it a little funny and also felt a little relieved.

If Anko and Tiger Shark suddenly disappeared at the same time and place, there would most likely be no danger, and even if there was any danger, it would only be from the enemy.

"Hasn't Onee-sama come in either?" Blue Whale looked at Luffy, who had a worried expression, and calmly comforted him, "Please don't worry, Luffy-sama. Onee-sama will not be in danger."

Thinking of how Anko disappeared with the shark for no apparent reason, Luffy was upset. "So why did the two of them disappear? Anko didn't even tell me. And I can't sense their presence at all."

"Maybe it's because of their abilities. It's normal that they can't perceive anything in another world," Blue Whale explained.

"Another world?" Ace was a little concerned about what he said, but with Anko and Tiger Shark's abilities, they might really have gone to some different dimension.

However, the Persian cat and the shark, who did nothing this time, expressed their innocence.

"Are they going to discuss another little secret that I can't understand?" Captain Straw Hat sat on the ground angrily and decided to wait for a certain shark to come back and settle the score.

"No, this is just an accident and coincidence." Blue Whale continued to explain and assured, "Onee-sama will not be in danger, Luffy-sama just needs to continue to enjoy the concert."

"I'm not in the mood to listen to music right now," the Straw Hat Captain frowned and rolled on the ground like a rogue, "Ace~~~~"

"Noah won't hide anything about An Ke's safety. Let's wait and see." Ace patted his head and advised with a smile, "If anyone dares to harm her, we will make him pay for it."

"You won't be allowed to leave even if it's in your pocket!" Captain Straw Hat retorted childishly.

"Yes yes~"

................................................

"…………", Anke, holding two glow sticks, sat on the ground in a daze, with a rare dull expression.

One second she saw Luffy reaching out his hand towards her with a panicked look on his face, and the next second she saw him lying on the ground, sound asleep.

Apollo, who was carrying him, also fell to the ground and lay motionless, almost turning into a pool of green flames.

The companions around him suddenly fell to the ground without any warning and fell into a deep sleep.

Looking around, the grass in the distance was filled with spectators lying in all directions, and everyone was immersed in sleep.

The music had stopped long ago, and the band members on the stage were all fast asleep on their instruments. The singer who had only sung one line of lyrics had disappeared without a trace.

For a moment, it seemed as if there was only one sober person left on the island.

Two, to be exact.

An Ke shook the glow stick stiffly. The feeling of being the only one awake while everyone else was asleep was like being excluded from the world.

After sitting on the ground blankly for a while, she sighed helplessly and threw the light stick aside, "Hey, this is a bit unfair, I am also an ordinary human now..." Obviously, his ability is strong enough to make all the people on this island fall into a deep sleep, but why did he miss her? It's so unfair!

Oh, and some guy.

However, when Anko placed her hand on Luffy's forehead, she knew that this was not a simple coma.

[The soul is no longer in this world, what kind of ability is this?], An Ke's face became more and more solemn. She raised her hands to create layers of barriers to protect her companions and the reef. She lifted her skirt and flew to the nearby reef. She kicked the sofa where a shark was sitting, "Wake up!"

The handsome tanned young man was originally leaning against the sofa with his eyes closed, and he looked like he was fast asleep like everyone else, but An Ke knew that this guy couldn't be fooled so easily.

The tiger shark, who had closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, opened his right eye unwillingly and raised his official professional fake smile, "Greetings, Miss Witch~"

"Stop talking nonsense. What's going on?" An Ke glared at him unhappily and turned to check on Blue Whale, Ace and Ayu who were sleeping on the ground. She found that their condition was the same as everyone else.

"If I say I don't know, will you stab me?" Tiger Shark asked with a smile, raising his hand to catch the crystal dagger that was shot at him. "Well, I will be beaten for sure."

Anke sat on the equally unconscious Dao Yun Duoduo, and confirmed Ace's condition again with some concern.

Ace's situation is different from that of others. He relied on different types of abilities to be resurrected. If he fails this time due to an inexplicable accident, then he will really leave us forever.

Ace, whose consciousness was no longer here, was sleeping soundly, and had no idea how worried those who were awake were.

"Don't worry, they are all safe." Tiger Shark stood up and whistled. The loud sound was a bit harsh in the strangely silent island. Then, he took out a light blue glass bead and crushed it. The huge energy released wrapped the entire island in layers of barriers.

The originally calm sea surface near the coast began to roll. Due to changes in the seabed topography and reefs, continuous whirlpools of varying sizes began to appear on the calm sea surface.

Changes in ocean currents continued to spread outward, and the unpredictable ocean currents gradually turned the island into an isolated island that was difficult to approach by ship.

An Ke didn't care what he was doing, she just tried to find a topic out of boredom, "Are those pets in the sea yours?"

Those huge monsters were busy creating trenches and moving reefs.

"Hmm, I plan to do some bad things on this island later, so it's inconvenient for others to get close to it~", Tiger Shark blinked cunningly, and sat back on the sofa after finishing it, "The barrier will block the signal on the island, and now this island is really isolated from the world."

"Why are you so nervous? I just said there's no danger." An Ke found a comfortable spot in the soft island cloud and waited lazily for the information to be decrypted. With this shark around, it shouldn't be a big deal in theory, and she was too lazy to use her abilities to collect and organize intelligence.

Tiger Shark did not answer immediately, but asked, "How much do you know about the singer Uta who is holding a concert this time?"

"I just heard of this name recently, but Usopp said that Lord Uta is a very good singer with a lot of fans. And he is not involved in any evil forces. He should be just an ordinary person." Anke didn't know much about it. She has always been more interested in those people with huge power or strong abilities.

"In terms of time, she became famous only in the past two years through live singing on Den Den Mushi. During that time, your entire pirate group happened to be training." Tiger Shark briefly introduced the mysterious but world-famous singer, "Many of her fans are civilians living at the bottom of society. Many of them feel desperate about life because of the burning, killing and looting of pirates. But when they hear Uta's singing, they seem to go to a free country with only happiness and joy, temporarily away from the darkness of real life. Over time, they will tell Uta about their pain through the video Den Den Mushi. After hearing the wishes of the fans, Uta decided to hold this concert to bring hope to this real world full of pain and despair, and to open a new era of freedom away from pain, with only joy and happiness."

An Ke tilted her head and nodded to show her understanding, "I see."

"She's about to start a new era. You don't have any other reaction? Like, surprise, doubt, or something like that."

"In my current state, I can only say very realistic and cold-blooded words." An Ke raised his finger and pointed at his left eye which was covered with a bandage. The fact that he could maintain his self-esteem was the result of two years of practice.

"Yeah, you almost destroyed the world the first time you used your fifth ability." Tiger Shark thought of what happened during his training and silently moved the sofa away from a time bomb.

"Did I do that? I can't even remember it," An Ke said that she was innocent and it was not her fault that she couldn't control the fifth ability.

"If it weren't for Gloria, this pitiful world would have been destroyed by you many times." Tiger Shark propped up his face, his expression very sad. "Compared to you, the little singer who said she wanted to open a new era of peace for her fans is as kind as an angel~"

"Don't make me sound so scary. I'm not really going to destroy the world." An Ke complained unhappily. When she was a child, her personality was so twisted and cold-blooded that she never thought of committing a massacre or destroying the world.

"Then you will create a peaceful and happy world for ordinary people?"

"No," An Ke refused decisively, but soon hesitated again and asked hesitantly, "Should I nod here to appear more humane?"

"No, just answer according to your habit~", Tiger Shark said with a smile, "At least I am not interested in the so-called new era of peace~"

"You just said a few seconds ago that Lord Uta, who opened a new era of peace, is an angel, and you sponsored the construction and decoration of the venue, right?"

"Oh, I just have a lot of money~"

"Go away. If you see that golden ship again, it will belong to me."
