Lin Qi remembered how Shanks’s lies and the Song-Song Fruit’s power had driven Uta toward a plan that could endanger most of the world. He considered the threat posed by her near-omnipotent Song-Song World, while questioning whether the World Government and Shanks could be trusted to handle it.

• Lin Qi recalled how Uta’s singing had freed the Demon King beneath the Music Kingdom, leading it to slaughter the kingdom’s people before Shanks and his crew resealed it.
• Shanks took the blame for the kingdom’s destruction, and Gordon told Uta that Shanks had abandoned her to exploit her and claim the kingdom’s treasure.
• Uta spent thirteen years isolated with Gordon, then became a world-famous singer whose songs drew desperate fans and deepened her hatred of Pirates.
• Uta discovered a recording showing that she had destroyed the Music Kingdom, and her growing despair led her to plan to trap her fans in the Song-Song World and kill herself.
• Lin Qi recognized that Uta’s Song-Song Fruit could make her nearly omnipotent in her world and leave anyone trapped there permanently if she died.

Lin Qi learned that Uta’s concert could unleash a dangerous power and decided he had to stop her without warning her. Meanwhile, the World Government abolished the Shichibukai, and Hawk Eyes prepared to face the Marines with Tom and his Human Mimickers.

• Lin Qi explained Uta’s danger to Hina and said he would go to her concert to prevent her from releasing the Demon King.

• Hawk Eyes took up Black Blade Night, and Tom joined him as they went outside to meet the Marines.
• Hawk Eyes’s Human Mimickers assembled before the castle, and their leader approached him as Hawk Eyes embraced returning to the life of a hunted warrior.

Hawk Eyes and Tom drove off the Marines sent to capture Hawk Eyes, then left the island together as Hawk Eyes planned to check on the other Shichibukai. In the West Sea, the Empress became angry over losing her Shichibukai status and decided to confront the Marines at Uta's concert.

• Hawk Eyes and Tom bid farewell to the gorillas and departed aboard a small coffin boat.
• Buggy, hunted by the Marines, came up with the idea of placing bounties on Marines and became the first pirate to do so.
• The Empress learned Lin Qi was going to Uta's concert, then declared she would make the Marines pay for revoking her Shichibukai status.

Lin Qi and the Empress attended Uta’s concert on Elegia in disguise, where Violet and Rebecca joined them. Meanwhile, Kizaru’s fleet approached the island as Ryokugyu prepared to capture Uta, and Akainu sought confirmation from the Five Elders before committing the Marines.

• Akainu warned Ryokugyu not to speak like a bandit, then contacted the Five Elders to verify their claim that Uta intended to destroy the world.

• Luffy woke up and clung to Lin Qi to delay him, but Lin Qi knocked him unconscious as Shanks and Beckman attacked to rescue Uta.
• Uta woke, heard Shanks, and sang a note that sent the concert audience and people watching the broadcast into the Song-Song World; those wearing earplugs remained awake.
• Shanks revealed why he had left Uta, but she said she already knew and insisted on creating a perfect world; Lin Qi urged Shanks to give her medicine before the Sleepless Mushrooms killed her.
• Uta threatened to make the audience kill themselves, then admitted she could not bring herself to do it; when Lin Qi and the others tried to give her medicine, she unleashed black energy.
• Gordon realized Uta had taken the sheet music sealing the Demon King, and Uta released it, opening a gate that connected the Song-Song World with the real world.

The Demon King Uta summoned broke free of her control and threatened both worlds, forcing the Marines and Red-Haired Pirates to join the fight. Shanks and Lin Qi prepared a coordinated attack across the connected worlds to defeat it and save Uta.

• Ryokugyu and Kizaru arrived with the Marines as the Demon King appeared, and Kizaru ordered the Marines to evacuate the civilians while Ryokugyu held the monster back.

Shanks, Lin Qi, Ryokugyu, and the others defeated the Demon King, but it dragged everyone in the Song-Song World into a deadly vortex as it vanished. Kizaru arrived with orders to kill Uta, while Lin Qi stopped him and Kizaru appeared to join the act to give Uta a chance to save the trapped people.

• Shanks, Lin Qi, Ryokugyu, Beckman, and the others attacked the Demon King together, destroying its head and then its limbs and torso in both worlds.

• Kizaru told Shanks that the Five Elders had ordered Uta killed because her singing had drawn seventy percent of The Entire World into the Song-Song World.
• Lin Qi kicked Kizaru away before he could attack Uta, and Kizaru acted as though he would fight Lin Qi while tacitly giving Uta a chance to save everyone.

Uta sacrificed herself to return everyone’s souls to their bodies, but Lin Qi used Sugar’s Devil Fruit to turn her into a toy and keep her alive. Uta awoke as a toy while the Red-Haired Pirates forgot she had ever existed.

• Uta refused Shanks’s antidote and used her Devil Fruit to return everyone’s souls from Song-Song World to their bodies, then collapsed in Shanks’s arms.
• Kizaru and Ryokugyu withdrew after learning that the rescued audience members had awakened, believing their mission was complete.
