Gordon regretted Uta's talent. After he finished teaching, he invited Shanks and the others to the palace. He intended to persuade Uta to stay, where she could get the best training and music sources. However, the little girl just wanted to adventure with Shanks.
Since Uta was leaving tomorrow, Gordon held a grand music night, as a farewell and also to let the public listen to the "voice of nature" from the girl. In addition to the invited musicians, he also broadcasted the event nationally through Den Den Mushi.
"Sorry everyone! I'm a little tired now and want to rest."
"No! No! We are the ones who should be sorry, your singing is too beautiful, we keep asking you to sing. Please forgive us!"
"Yes! Uta-chan's voice is so good."
"Then, rest for a while! Let's just let her be."
The audience began to disperse. Uta jumped off the stage with her short legs. She picked up a glass of orange juice, drank it dry, and breathed a sigh of satisfaction. As she was about to sit down, she stumbled on a sheet of ancient music on the sofa.
She picked it up and hummed:
Rain falls in my heart, wandering;Never dries, the prayers and tears poured into my heart;Weave a spell to free the curse, to save the song on the verge of death;Wandering among the prayers from the savior everyone yearns for;The future of calm waves is nothing;That arrogant and disrespectful cry makes me forget the sudden sadness.Let's draw a terminator for this chaotic era.
Boom!
Red thunder and lightning suddenly filled the entire opera house. A powerful air wave was centered on Uta, sending everyone flying and crashing into the walls. Many vomited blood and fainted, some were even killed on the spot.
Even the strong Shanks and Ben Beckman were almost knocked down. They immediately got ahold of themselves and turned to the source of the change.
Suddenly, they were horrified to see a dark figure a hundred meters tall that had swallowed Uta's body. The creature emerged from the void.
On its head was a large black hat inlaid with four dragon skulls, below which was a creepy abstract head, with a pointed nose, a bloody mouth, sharp teeth, blood-red eyes, and wavy golden hair.
Its body was shrouded in dark fog, its limbs and claws, consisting of giant piano keys that extended from the black mist.
Behind it, a pair of large black wings stretched out, destroying the roof of the opera house.
Rumble!
The pillars of the house collapsed, burying many victims.
"Music Demon King!?" Gordon and Shanks shouted in unison.
Roar!
The Music Demon King roared to the sky. Red thunder and lightning fell everywhere, creating holes in the ground. The victims who were injured and tried to escape were charred into corpses by the lightning strikes.
Shanks immediately drew his sword, Griffin. Dark Armament Haki coated it, and with a quick slash, he deflected the lightning strike that was aimed at him and Gordon.
However, the Music Demon King immediately found the "ants" who dared to fight him. He opened his mouth, condensing the dark red thunder and lightning into an energy ball.
BOOM!
A dark red energy beam full of destruction shot out from the mouth of Uta's Music Demon King, piercing through everything in its way. Houses turned to dust, mountains were flattened, and even the sea was split in two.
Because the attack was so obvious, Shanks had already taken Gordon out of the opera house. The other members of the Red-Haired Pirates also retreated, preparing to face the mysterious creature in a wider area.
The New World, Aitwall Sea Area On the sea waves, a warship was sailing according to its daily patrol schedule.
In the communication room.
Bulu~! Bulu~! Bulu!
The special Marine Den Den Mushi rang. Frank, the communication officer, immediately answered it. Before he could ask, a hurried voice came through:
"This is G2 Headquarters. We received a request for help from the Elegia Kingdom. An unknown monster attack has appeared in the country. The danger level is one. Unit 03 of G5 Headquarters is requested to provide assistance immediately."
"Unit 03 of G5 Headquarters received! I will report to the warship commander, Commodore Sephiroth." Frank answered firmly.
After hanging up the phone, he hurried toward the commander's cabin.
Knock-knock-knock!
Frank knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
He opened the door and saw an expressionless, silver-haired youth sitting behind the table.
"Report, Commodore Sephiroth! G2 Headquarters is asking us to go to the Elegia Kingdom for assistance. An unknown monster attack has appeared, danger level one. Please give your instructions!"
Sephiroth was silent for a moment, then replied, "Go provide support now!"
"Yes!"
Wano Country, Flower Capital Chizuru Pavilion, Rear Courtyard In the hallway outside the house, Sephiroth was holding Black Maria with his left hand, while his right hand was restless, touching here and there.
Beside them, Kozuki Hiyori, wearing a pink kimono, was kneeling. She occasionally stole glances at the two of them, then quickly averted her eyes.
Kozuki Hiyori didn't quite understand why she, who had come to apply for a geisha job, had now become Sephiroth's personal servant at Black Maria's command. However, she remembered how her life was now better, with proper food and clothing, a far cry from when she was wandering.
The only thing that confused her a little was that Black Maria always taught her strange things, saying that it was all so that she could please her master.
When Sephiroth was about to begin a "deep discussion" with Black Maria, his movements stopped, and his eyebrows furrowed.
"Master, what's wrong?" Black Maria asked worriedly.
"I suddenly remembered there's something urgent," Sephiroth replied.
He let go of Black Maria, tidied his clothes, took the two swords he had placed in the hallway, and quickly left the complex.
Black Maria: (´･_･`)
