One Piece's Vice Captain 2

Chapter 383 Past Story

Even if they successfully moved to another building, the notes that trapped them still did not dissipate.

"What the hell are these?" Luffy gritted his teeth and struggled to break free from the phonetic symbols. As soon as he was free, he wanted to rush out to get his straw hat back.

"Luffy, wait a minute!" Zoro and Sanji immediately grabbed him and handed him to Ace the next second.

There's no other way. Since Ace has taken care of a single-celled creature for so long since he was a child, he might as well take care of him for a few more hours.

"Let's discuss a solution first. Your straw hat won't run away." Ace patted his head amusedly.

"Brother Luffy, don't be impulsive," Ayu also looked up and advised, pulling him to wait obediently for others to come up with countermeasures.

"There are other people here." Zoro looked at the broken wall nearby.

"Come out," Luo put the long knife against his shoulder and glanced at the corner as well.

After a while, an uncle wearing headphones walked out from behind the wall. Judging from his appearance, he didn't look like the audience who followed Uta to hunt pirates.

Everyone looked at the strange uncle, then looked at the blue whale, waiting for the answer tacitly.

As everyone wished, Blue Whale introduced the information of this uncle, "This is Lord Gordon, the king of Elegia. He has been living here with Lord Uta since the destruction of his country. If you want to know other information about Lord Uta, you can ask him."

"King?" Chopper, who didn't know much about the human kingdom, looked at the dilapidated building through the window, "Was this once a country? It looks so shabby."
Luo had briefly looked up information about the island before and explained, "In the past, Elegia was the world's number one music capital and was once prosperous. Until one day, it was destroyed overnight. Rumor has it that it was attacked by a great pirate."

Gordon looked at the young men with some hesitation. He had seen Luffy and Uta talking on the stage before, but he still confirmed again, "Are you Uta's friends?"

99% of the people and homias shook their heads collectively, and then pushed the angry Captain Straw Hat without his hat out.

They weren't lying, Luffy was the only one here who knew Uta and was her friend.

Luffy scratched his hair and looked at Gordon, who was hesitant to speak, in confusion, "Uncle, what can I do for you?"

Gordon looked at him, and finally made up his mind and said, "You must be wondering why Uta became like this. I want to tell you Uta's story, and then ask you to help her."

"Tell a story?" Luffy frowned. He never had much patience to listen to very long stories.

Ace reached out and stuffed three floating homias, a steamed bun, and a little fat bear into his hands. "Go find a place to play for a while. We still have plenty of time. Let's hear the reason first."

"Hey, that's my partner." Luo looked at his former ally squatting there playing Jenga in silence, and then decided to just ignore it.

Robin urged with a smile, "Please tell us the story of Miss Uta, Mr. Gordon."

Gordon sighed and decided to start talking about Uta's unknown life experience. "Let's talk about Uta. In Elegia, where there are no citizens, I raised Uta, but there are only me and that child here, she must be very lonely. But when she is in front of me, she pretends to be strong. When she is alone, she will often hum those songs full of memories with her friends. In order to encourage Uta to cheer up and make her the world's number one singer, I have raised her until now."

However, the Straw Hat Captain was folding a few little guys in a depressed mood while muttering, "Anko is not here, Straw Hat is not here..." "Don't interrupt me!" Gordon looked at him unhappily, "Especially you! Aren't you Uta's friend?"

"Don't worry about him, just continue talking." Luo, who had experienced this, advised. Anyway, the single-celled straw hat creature has never been interested in stories or plans.

Usopp understood a little, "I see. Having been isolated from the world for so long, no wonder she didn't know that Ace was Luffy's brother and that Luffy was now one of the Four Emperors."

Seeing that someone was listening carefully, Gordon continued, "The main problem at that time was when and how to let her beautiful singing voice be released to the world, because she grew up knowing almost nothing about the outside world. But the way that world came was also unexpected. About two years ago, she accidentally picked up a new type of video phone worm that washed ashore at the beach. So Uta was like being liberated, and transmitted her own singing voice to the outside world through the video phone worm. Her singing also gained a large number of fans, just like the world was paid for, and it spread everywhere in an instant. But after gradually understanding the reality of the outside world, a new consciousness also sprouted in her body. In the Great Pirate Era, wars and bloodshed continued. Originally, everyone just came to enjoy her singing, but they didn't know where to start. More and more fans began to regard Uta as a savior. After feeling the fans' wishes and trust, Uta wanted to create a new era for those tortured fans."

"Does the new era mean trapping everyone in the world of music?" Brooke, a musician, couldn't understand it. Liking to sing is one thing, but how did it end up becoming about creating a new era?
Ace frowned slightly and looked at the blue whale holding Daoyun, "Tiger..., uh, does that person know what Uta wants to do?"

"Yes, he thinks Lord Uta's idea is very interesting. It is a great dream to create a new world of peace and warmth for the suffering people all over the world." Blue Whale stated calmly, although he could not understand why this dream was great.

Nami saw his overly calm expression, but felt a chill and more anger. "He knew that Uta would lock all the audience into the music world, but he still helped to hold this concert?"

"Yes," Blue Whale gave an affirmative answer as expected.

Luffy paused while grabbing the bun, his face serious, "Why?"

"Because even if there is no help from others, Lady Uta will find a way to hold a concert with the help of fans. Instead of leaving her alone, it is better to keep everything under control from the beginning." Blue Whale did not think it was a big problem. "Her singing voice could not be heard outside the island from the beginning. Only those who came to this island were brought into the world of music."

Luffy's expression eased a little, and he continued to stack up the little things.

"I found you again~"

Uta's voice sounded with a smile, and the five-line score that appeared in the air stuck to Gordon who was unable to escape, but the others were transferred to a safe place in time by Luo.

"Really? What exactly is that pirate's ability~" Uta twirled the straw hat in his hand and smiled as he asked fans to continue looking for the pirates playing hide-and-seek.

When they were the only two left in the dilapidated building, Uta smiled and looked sideways at Gordon who was glued to the musical score. "Gordon, are you angry? Because I held this concert without consulting you?"

"Isn't this just an ordinary concert?" Gordon looked at her sadly. "I don't want you to do such a thing. Now the World Government and the Navy must be paying attention to your abilities. You will definitely be in danger!"

"It's okay, I still have this~", the brilliant notes created a stack of old music scores. Uta continued to smile and said to Gordon in shock and panic, "I always knew it was hidden in the basement of the castle, why didn't you throw it away? Do you also have the dream of creating a new world?"

The music score turned into a chip. Uta put the chip into her headphones and flew away riding on the musical notes.

"Is that TOT MUSIC??" Gordon, who couldn't escape, was covered in cold sweat and could only shout in despair, "You can't use it, Uta?!!!"
