One Piece's Vice Captain 2

Chapter 379 The Concert That Lasts Forever

Zoro leaned against the rock, his left hand still holding the Wado Ichimonji, "It looks quite weak, it shouldn't be her doing."

"That's not necessarily true. Many devil fruits have strange abilities and you'll get caught if you're not careful." Sanji did not let his guard down. This concert always gave people a strange feeling.

Chopper moved his nose, still feeling a little uneasy. His keen sense of smell could sense that the scent left by the deputy captain was gradually fading away, but no matter which direction the wind came from, there was no smell of her.

"Woo," Baozi called softly and squatted obediently next to Chopper.

Nami and Robin looked at each other, and both saw worry on each other's faces. Although Luffy said that Anko just went to talk to Tiger Shark, she couldn't disappear without saying a word unless it was extremely urgent.

"Don't worry, everyone. An Ke just sent a message saying that she's fine now," Luffy consoled with a smile, although he puffed up his face unhappily the next second. "It's scary to disappear suddenly. I'll definitely teach her a lesson when I find her later!"

Hearing this, his friends looked at him with suspicion. He was the first one to give in to the Persian cat, right?
"But before I leave, I'll go say hello first~" Luffy stretched out his hand to grab the nearby light column and flew to the stage. Under Uta's surprised gaze, he looked closely at her face, "It's you!"

"?" Uta tilted her head in confusion, and her bunny-ear-like hairstyle drooped down intelligently.

The audience around were also surprised that someone broke into the stage and began to talk about it in surprise.

"You are Uta, right?" Luffy waved his hands happily, "It's me, it's me!"

"Are you... Luffy?" After carefully looking him up and down for a while, Uta also recognized him and hugged him excitedly, "Long time no see, Luffy!"

"Long time no see~", Luffy also hugged her happily. He didn't expect to see her again after so many years.

The loudspeaker on the stage carried their conversation to everyone's ears. Many in the audience recognized Luffy, and there was panic and fear in the crowd:

"Did Uta call the guy in the straw hat Luffy?"

"Luffy?? Isn't Luffy the pirate who just became the Four Emperors?"

"You must be kidding, right? How could Uta be friends with a pirate??"

"That's right! Uta hates pirates just like us!"

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

"Is that someone Luffy knows???" Zoro, who had already regarded Uta as an enemy, widened his right eye. He originally thought that the singer had lost a Persian cat.

"Since she's someone Luffy knows, then she shouldn't have much to do with the sudden disappearance of the little cutie." Sanji also breathed a sigh of relief, and soon shouted at the two people hugging each other on the stage with envy and jealousy, "Luffy, why do you know Princess Uta? If you know her, why don't you introduce her to us earlier!"

"Hahaha, Luffy really has friends everywhere." Jinbei laughed a few times, recalling the scene during the Battle of Marineford when Luffy turned his former enemies into comrades-in-arms.

"Why is Luffy friends with Princess Uta?" Usopp looked at the two people happily reminiscing on the stage with a question mark. He was now a little confused about the Straw Hat Captain's interpersonal relationships.

Hearing his friends' voices, Luffy now turned around and introduced them, "Because she is Shanks' daughter."

The loudspeaker on the stage carried Luffy's words to everyone's ears, causing an earth-shaking uproar. Even Zoro and the others couldn't help but look surprised.

After the shock, the audience became more and more afraid. They just came to listen to the concert, but they found out that the singer Uta, whom they trusted, knew two of the vicious Four Emperors pirates?

"Like that Straw Hat Luffy, Shanks is also one of the Four Emperors..."

"I remember that Shanks was..."

"That's right, Shanks is the culprit who attacked Elegia in the past!"

"But why would Uta be the daughter of that evil pirate??"

………………

Ace leaned against the rock, folded his hands and said, "Come to think of it, I seem to have heard Luffy mention it a few times before, but I didn't expect to see it here."

"Brother Luffy actually knows a sister who sings so beautifully? So cool!" Ayu didn't quite understand what the audience around her were arguing about. She just thought that Luffy was very cool for knowing a big star.

The blue whale was still holding the white island cloud and listening quietly, seeming to be somewhat out of the matter.

However, Ace still felt something was wrong. "It is rumored that Elegia was destroyed by the Red Hair Pirates, but Uta, the daughter of Shanks, held a concert here. There must be something else behind this concert."

Daoyun Duoduo blinked her big dark eyes and tried to look up at the person holding her, "Master Blue Whale, call me when you want to leave~"

"Yeah." Blue Whale nodded and continued to watch the situation on the stage.

Ace noticed that several boats were approaching the stage, and nearly thirty pirates jumped onto the stage with swords and guns. "It seems that no matter where you go, there will be chaos."

"Ace, should we go help?", Ayu was a little worried.

"It's okay, Luffy and the others will be fine." Ace blinked his left eye and said with a smile, "He should be one of the most powerful pirates on the sea now. It won't be a problem for him to deal with them."

"Ok!"

On the stage, the pirates who originally planned to kidnap the singer to make a fortune heard that she was Shanks' daughter. Not only did they not back off, but they saw a greater business opportunity. "I didn't expect that the Four Emperors Red-Haired Shanks actually has a daughter! If it's true, then she is Red-Haired Shanks' biggest weakness!"

"Huh?" Luffy looked at them.

"!!!", the group of pirates who were blinded by money realized belatedly that they had missed something, and when they found another of the Four Emperors standing in front of them, they were all petrified.

"If you want to hurt Princess Uta, you have to get through me first!" The blond chef flew over. He didn't want to miss the chance to protect the world singer. "A bunch of tyrannical people who want to stop the concert!" Brook, a musician, also came to the stage angrily to help.

Zoro's footsteps moved slightly, but in the end he just held the hilt tightly and stayed where he was. "Robin, Usopp and I will stay here and cover you if anything happens."

"I just had this plan," Usopp took out a slingshot and took out a few seeds from his bag with his right hand.
"I'll stay too, it can reduce our presence a bit." Nami took out the weather stick and turned it around a few times, then held it in one hand. Zeus flew to her upper right, waiting for her attack order at any time.

"Okay, then I'll go over there to help." Jinbei nodded in understanding and took Franky and Chopper to the stage to help.

"Woo!" Baozi dug the ground and squatted down beside Zoro's feet. Two balls of flame, one orange and one blue, flew to a slightly higher place to help watch the surrounding situation.

The fight had already started on the stage. In order not to damage the carefully prepared stage, Luffy and his companions were somewhat reserved in their attacks. They even had to be careful not to let the pirates destroy the speakers and other equipment.

"Alright, alright, that's enough. Luffy and his friends, thank you for protecting me, but please stop fighting~", Uta, who was well protected in the chaos, waved his hands and smiled to persuade them to stop fighting, "You are all my fans, so you should get along well and enjoy the concert~"

Sanji hesitated and slowed down his movements, "But they want to kidnap you."

Even though half of his men had been beaten down, the pirate leader was still very tough, "We won't give in even if it's the Four Emperors. We will forcefully seize the target we set, we are pirates!"

"Then stop making trouble, pirates. I will forgive all the bad things you have done in the past~", Uta said with an innocent look like a princess in an ivory tower, smiling brightly, "And everyone else should stop being evil pirates, and create a world full of joy with me. As long as I sing, everyone can have peace and happiness~"

"Uta, be careful, these guys won't listen to you." Luffy looked at her worriedly, but saw her smiling and signaling not to be nervous.

"Hahaha, there is no such thing as peace in this world!" The pirates who wanted to kidnap her laughed out loud, "We are pirates, we have more important things to do than listening to music!"

"Really? That's a pity," Uta still smiled, not afraid of their threats at all, "In that case, I will dedicate a song for you~"

Under the surprised gaze of the pirates, Uta opened her mouth and sang another song. The sky in the venue darkened, and the shining lights shone with colorful lights. Countless notes and staves appeared out of thin air and flew around. Hearts, stars and other bright icons kept dancing with the music:

*Come, no need to be afraid, no need to be anxious
*Everyone's dream is my wish

*As long as you sing, your mood will be cheerful

*Don't worry, I'm the strongest
…………

As she sang, Uta's clothes turned into golden armor. The colorful musical note patterns washed away all the pirates who wanted to attack her like an ocean current. The starry sky turned the venue into a strange and wonderful world.

In the song that contained infinite power, the pirates were no match for Uta. They were bounced away and stuck to the musical score floating in the air, with their limbs arranged in the shape of phonetic symbols.

With incredible ability, she flew around the field without the aid of any equipment, and her singing every second made the originally panicked fans put aside their worries and cheer happily.

"Wow, you've become so strong, Uta!" Luffy looked at her in amazement, and then looked at the extremely beautiful bright patterns around him, "These are actually real, and they are different from Anko's illusion~"

After Jinbei made sure there were no hidden enemies around, he patted the Straw Hat Captain who was eager to play and said, "Luffy, don't disturb him from continuing his singing. Let's go back first."

"I know..." Luffy originally wanted to jump onto the musical scores, but after hearing this, he left with a puffed face, "Uta, keep working hard!"

"If there is an enemy, I will come to protect you immediately, Princess Uta~", Sanji kept laughing, because he was so happy that Uta waved at him.

Zoro, standing on the reef, looked at the miraculous scene in silence, his left hand still tightly holding the Wado Ichimonji.

"It's an incredible ability, isn't it? It looks more advanced than ordinary illusions." Robin had a smile on her face, but her eyes were serious. "But she looks like Luffy's friend, is that okay?"

"Let's wait and see, Luffy has his own decision." Zoro glanced at the gorgeous stage, then leaned casually against the rock.

"I won't feel at ease until I see Encore again." Nami shrugged, feeling a little sorry, "I wanted to get an autograph as a souvenir."

"We should be able to contact Anko using the communication butterfly if she's just chatting with Tiger Shark." Usopp summoned his own communication butterfly, but watched helplessly as the blurry butterfly struggled for a few seconds before turning into mist and dissipating.

Luffy, who jumped back here, happened to see this and just smiled and said, "An Ke said let us play here for a while, we will go find her after staying for a while~"

"Since Luffy said so, then fine." Usopp nodded, then looked at the reef not far away, "Is Noah over there?"

"Yeah, he and Duoduo are here. And Ace and Yu are here to watch the concert too~", Luffy shouted hello over there, and then saw the three people and Yun also waving over here.

"That's better." Usopp felt relieved.

"Everyone don't worry, Uta is someone I have known since childhood~", Luffy said with a smile, but he still felt a little uneasy.

The light in the venue was a little dim, and the spotlight was on Uta. The singer who was in the spotlight happily announced, "By the way, I have good news to tell you. I have been broadcasting live through video Den Den Mushi before, but I would gradually feel tired, so it would end quickly. But this concert is different, it will last forever~"

After hearing her announcement, the fans shouted even more excitedly. In the past, during every live broadcast, Uta would be exhausted after singing a few songs. I didn't expect that today I could listen for a long time.

"That's right~", Uta held up a video Den Den Mushi used for broadcasting and pointed it at himself, revealing an extremely bright purple right eye, "That means I will always be with you all, so whether you are fans watching the live broadcast or fans at the scene, you should have more fun~~"

"Wow!! U~T~A~!!" The fans in the venue immediately fell into a frenzy and kept cheering enthusiastically.

Uta stared at the video Den Den Mushi and announced with a serious expression, "And the most important thing is, all the pirates, navy and world government people, please do not interfere with this concert. Everyone is looking for something that makes them happy and joyful. If you do something excessive, you'd better be mentally prepared! I am the one who will create a new era - Uta, and I will use my singing to make everyone happy!"

"Ohhh!!!"

After shouting out her declaration, she put the video Den Den Mushi back to where it was and started the next performance, "Then let's start the next song now~"
