One Piece's Vice Captain 2

Chapter 394: Dreams Left in the Past
The little guy who directly tricked her into singing TOT MUSIC had no guilt at all, and even rationally analyzed, "Given the size and destructive power of that demon king, it is estimated that many people will be beaten into meat patties~"

Uta subconsciously tightened her grip, and the white rabbit jumped away from her arms. She just lowered her head, helplessly believing that the man could solve everything, just like she did 12 years ago, "Shanks... will definitely be able to protect everyone... Luffy is here this time..."

An Ke realized that she seemed to have gone too far, so she had to persuade him, "Don't worry, no innocent people will die this time."

"Really?" Uta looked at her suddenly, his eyes moist and full of helplessness.

Ever since she saw TOT MUIC destroy Elegia, she has been haunted by nightmares every day, and she has only survived until now because of her obsession with creating a new Shida for fans all over the world.

"Yes, many people came to help you this time." Anke saw her confusion and did not tell her that her singing could not be heard beyond the island from the beginning.

The wish to bring fans around the world into a virtual new era of music is somewhat cruel.

But telling her the truth seemed cruel. It would be better to let her believe that the plan was successfully carried out in the beginning.

"It would be great if everyone is fine." Uta completely relaxed. Although she met this strange girl for the first time today, Uta inexplicably trusted her.

"Yeah, after everyone defeats the Demon King, we can return to the real world. You can also reminisce with Lord Shanks and Luffy and the others~". Anko continued to poke at the beach in front of him and conjured up a few jumping white rabbits.

Hearing this, Uta's expression darkened, and he reached out to touch the white rabbits sitting in a row in front of him, "I... probably don't have much time to talk to them."

She had eaten too many sleepless mushrooms in just a few hours, and her body had already reached its limit. She probably wouldn't be able to survive for long.

"Lord Shanks and the others should have brought the antidote, and there are many great doctors here, so it should be fine." Anke was not really worried. If it really didn't work, she would let Luo see if he could decompose the toxin from the sleepless mushroom.

Wuta just remained silent for a long time before she said softly, "Thank you, but no thanks..."

After learning the truth about the destruction of Elegia, she lived in guilt and pain every day. Not to mention that she has awakened the Demon King and destroyed the new era promised to her fans, and even made them feel afraid of her.

She had already decided to end everything today, and this was the only decision she had never wavered from beginning to end.

And today, she also met Luffy and Shanks. Although she was not able to have a good chat with them, she was satisfied just to see them and had no regrets.

After guessing her determination, An Ke suggested quietly, "If you want to forget the pain you've experienced before, I can help you."

"No, I want to remember." Uta shook her head slowly and firmly. She wanted to remember those people in Elegia who treated her kindly, and even more so, she wanted to remember that it was because of her that they died.

[Sorry, I don’t seem to be very good at comforting people.] Anko was a little overwhelmed and had to try to find words to persuade her, "But if you die, Luffy and Lord Shanks will be sad. It took them so long to find you."

"If that's the case, they will understand my decision~" Uta laughed. Although she felt sorry that she couldn't seriously resolve the rift with Shanks, she believed that he would understand and believe in her choice.

An Ke was a little distressed, thinking about hypnotizing her to change her mind. "You can't change my mind!" Uta was very foresighted and killed her plan, looking at her seriously and said, "If it were you, I would definitely be able to do it, but I want to end this matter once and for all."

"Well then," An Ke nodded, and then asked, "It seems too inhumane to agree so quickly. Should I persuade you again?"

"No matter how much I persuade you, you won't change your mind," Uta reached out and picked up a white rabbit and teased it, "and I'm glad you can come and accompany me. I thought you would stay here forever."

"Actually, you won't stay here forever. Luffy and Lord Shanks will be able to defeat the Demon King and rescue you soon." Anko continued to poke the sand.

Uta is now integrated with the Demon King because of the sleepless mushroom. She just came in to make sure she is safe, so that she won’t be beaten to pieces along with the Demon King.

Wuta smiled but did not answer. Looking at the white cloud-like waves not far away, he asked curiously, "Are those clouds?"

"Well, this is Sky Island," Anko asked the clouds to get closer. "I came here for adventure with Luffy and the others two years ago. I quite like this place."

"It's great." Uta stretched out her left hand and held up the foam-like clouds, thinking somewhat sadly that if she had not sung that song, she would definitely have gone on adventures to various magical islands with the Red Hair Pirates.

An Ke looked at her in silence for a while, then asked, "Lord Uta, what is your dream?"

"My dream?" Uta answered almost immediately and subconsciously, "I want to create a new era for my fans."

An Ke shook her head and asked seriously, "No, what was your original and true dream?"

"Probably..." Uta was stunned for a moment, and recalled a distant memory from 12 years ago, "As a musician of the Red Hair Pirates, I followed everyone to adventure around the world~"

"Really?" An Ke retracted his gaze from her and continued poking the sand in front of him, "That kind of dream is really free~"

"Yes," Wuta looked up at the peaceful blue sky, tears slowly flowing down her face, "Yes, it will be very free..."

An Ke glanced at her sideways, then looked up at the sky as well, "It would be great if this could be realized."

Thinking about the dream that had long since dissipated, Uta's smile was very bitter, "Yes, it would be nice if it could come true..."

Unfortunately, nothing can go back.
