One Piece's Vice Captain 2

Chapter 389 Father
In the vast sky, An Ke stood on the black vortex and looked at the rolling waves and whirlpools of various sizes on the sea surface. "The sea surface has really become a mess. Does he think about the tens of thousands of spectators trapped on the island?"

Then she just stretched out her hands forward, and countless bubbles appeared in her upward palms. The bubbles flew around and disappeared in a short while.

A few minutes later, the vortex under her feet changed its direction of rotation, and disappeared in mid-air as she sank into the darkness.

On the calm sea, Shanks' pirate ship is sailing slowly, and the companions on the ship who are familiar with navigation technology are studying where Elegia is now.

Shanks, with a serious expression, suddenly clenched his right hand which was resting on the hilt of the knife.

Beckman noticed this and took out his pistol in tacit understanding. "Enemy?"

"Probably not." Shanks turned to face the right side of the ship, "There are guests coming."

The members who were originally there immediately retreated tacitly, and became wary of the vacated area.

The dark color suddenly spread from one point into a two-meter wide circular vortex. After making sure that he would not be chopped by a knife, An Ke poked his head out and said hello, "Hello, everyone from the Red Hair Pirates~"

"Nice to meet you," Shanks looked at her calmly, "You are Encore, right?"

"Yes." Anko went to the deck and explained why she was here. "Luffy asked everyone to go over there. It seems that Lord Uta needs help."

"Thank you for your help." Shanks did not doubt it much and asked after a pause, "How is Uta doing now?"

"Lord Uta ate a lot of mushrooms. I estimate he has less than an hour left to live." An Ke transformed into the cute pink mushroom and said to the others, "Then please fold up the sails~"

Although they didn't know how she planned to get them to Elegia, Jesus and his men still folded the sails first.

"Then please hold on tight," An Ke reminded. A few seconds later, the entire pirate ship rose straight up seven or eight meters, turned to the two o'clock direction, and flew rapidly.

The members of the Red Hair Pirates are all used to big storms and don't seem very surprised.

Beckman leaned against the other side of the ship and looked out, and he found that the pirate ship was supported by a large black vortex underneath. It was obvious that this was one of the girl's abilities.

After pondering for a while, he still asked the doubts of many people present, "With your ability, you should be able to end the world created by Uta and let everyone return to the real world, right?"

"Yes, you can," An Ke made a crystal chair and sat down, and added before he could ask, "It would be great if Lord Uta is an insignificant person."

If she didn't have to worry about the lives of those with special abilities, she could easily bring everyone back.

Unfortunately, Uta is Luffy's important friend.

After a while, they could see the extremely chaotic sea in the distance. Jesus couldn't help but frowned, "When I came to Elegia before, the ocean currents didn't change so much."

"It's not me. I don't have that much energy right now." An Ke quickly passed on the blame. After the pirate ship flew for a while, she waved to the others and flew to the front using the Moon Step. "I'll go open the door~"

There still seemed to be nothing ahead, and no land could be seen even at the distant horizon.

However, soon, a huge exit appeared in the air that could accommodate the pirate ship, and the dilapidated Elegia could be clearly seen.

Everyone on the ship remained calm, except for the ship's doctor, Dege, who sighed, "The world is full of surprises."

After the pirate ship passed, the barrier returned to its original state. Encore stopped the pirate ship at the pier closest to the stage, then turned into mist and disappeared, "Then I'll trouble you all from now on~"

After seeing her leave, Laqi Lu took a big bite of meat to calm down. "Seeing her ability with my own eyes, it's really incredible."

"It's strange enough that he can resist Uta's ability." Beckman said in a deep voice, looking at the reef near the stage, "and there are quite a few troublesome people."

"Don't worry about them." Shanks didn't want to waste time on those bystanders now, "The focus is to find Uta first."

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

In the world of music.

On the endless colorful lake, Uta jumped back and forth with a smile. Under the mirror-like lake, there were dense toy desserts flowing.

At this moment, the music world was like a fairyland, with colorful cotton candy-like clouds floating in the sky, and even the sky was extremely colorful. "What are you doing here?" Uta turned around and looked at Luffy who was walking on the beautiful water surface, "No matter how many times you come, you can't beat me."

"The winner hasn't been decided yet."

"Here you are, the guy who can't stand losing~", Uta made a face like before, and when he found that Luffy was still serious, he just said, "Then just like in the past, we can only use fighting to decide the outcome, Luffy."

As Uta snapped his fingers, countless notes turned into black knights and stabbed towards Luffy, but they were all beaten back into a circle by him.

Uta stood there and watched him smash all the black knights. He raised his leg to kick him but the extended leg just brushed past him. "You obviously didn't intend to fight."

Luffy gritted his teeth and retracted his attack, trying to persuade her to face the facts, "You are wrong!"

"You are wrong, Luffy. It's time for you to face the reality. I've said that the Great Pirate Era is over." Uta created sea water to wash him away and looked at him coldly, "Why do you want to be the Pirate King so much?"

"The freest person on the sea is the Pirate King." Luffy replied in a deep voice, just as he had said to her a long, long time ago, "and to create a new era."

"Enough!" Luffy was unable to resist the gushing seawater. Two black knights appeared and held their spears in front of him like executioners. Uta took out the straw hat he had snatched from Luffy before, and grabbed the brim of the hat with both hands, trying to tear it apart. "The Great Pirate Era that began with the execution of the Pirate King will also end with your execution, Luffy."
Her slender hands were so strong that their knuckles turned white, but she still couldn't tear the straw hat apart. After realizing that she couldn't do anything to the straw hat, she looked straight at Luffy, "Is this another ability of that girl? Even if she's not by your side, she still wants to protect your dream?!"

"You have indeed met Anko!" Luffy's expression brightened, "How is she now?"

"She looks fine, and she went to find Shanks as you asked." Uta in the music world can also know what happened in the real world. When she said this, her expression twisted slightly, "But what if she found Shanks?! What can we change by asking a pirate to come here now?!!"

Luffy looked at her angry expression in surprise, "Why... do you hate pirates so much now? You used to like the Red Hair Pirates so much! Didn't you like pirates very much?"

"It's all Shanks' fault!" Uta growled, grabbing the straw hat with his hands and trying harder but still unable to calm down, "I used to think of Shanks... as my own father!"

Luffy stared at her blankly as she rarely spoke out her true thoughts, wondering what had happened to force her to this point.

"I used to think of all the companions on that ship as my family!" Uta's eyes became wet uncontrollably, and he yelled out of control, "But to them, everything was a lie! So Shanks abandoned me in the end! He left me alone in Elegia and left!!"

"That's all so you can become a singer!"

"No way!" Uta uncontrollably let go of years of anger and grievances, "We clearly agreed to go out to sea and adventure together, and I also said that I would always be a musician for the Red Hair Pirates. But that night, Elegia was destroyed! When I woke up, the whole country became a hell. From the beginning, they wanted to use my singing to get close to Elegia and seize the treasure, and they killed everyone! They even abandoned me and left me in Elegia!!"

The memory of the entire country being destroyed was vague. She only remembered that she was left behind. No matter how much she cried and shouted, the ship still left!
Luffy gritted his teeth and pushed open the black knight that was blocking the way, "Shanks wouldn't do such a thing, and you know it!"

"Then what are my 12 years worth?!" Uta almost collapsed and shouted, "Luffy, you are just a tool to Shanks! Even if..."

"Shanks will definitely come here to save you!"

"Save me? Why?" Uta sneered, and the straw hat in his hand turned into musical notes and disappeared.

"How could Shanks just stand by and watch his daughter do such a thing?" Luffy didn't doubt Shanks's behavior at all. Maybe they had already been near Elegia, but couldn't get close because Elegia was blocked.

Wuta was stunned for a moment, his smile full of pain and disbelief, "He has abandoned me... He won't come..."

At the moment when Uta was distracted, she was suddenly replaced in a room. Before she could react, the awakened ability of the surgery fruit had been attached to her.

"R·ROOM·Silence." After fighting with the Four Emperors, it was not difficult to deal with a little girl with little fighting ability. Law calmly eliminated the sound blocked by the R-ROOM space.

Uta spoke, but she couldn't hear her own voice, and of course no one outside the room could hear her voice. Even if she moved quickly, she couldn't get rid of the room attached to her.

Others also came over. They originally thought that it would take a tough battle to subdue Uta, but they didn't expect that it would be so easy to completely block her voice.

Robin looked at Uta who was shouting desperately in the room but no sound came out, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic towards her, "This seems a bit like bullying a little girl."

But it's not surprising, because everyone present has gone through life-and-death battles with the Four Emperors, and their fighting ability and strategic talent are stronger than Uta, who is isolated from the world and relies only on the fruit.

"If you can win in one move, there's no need to waste time." Luo Ke didn't want to waste any more words. Now they just had to wait for Anko to bring Shanks and the others, and then wait for that demon king to come out, and then they could return to the real world.
