From afar, they heard Gawain's voice, and Uta looked toward Gawain, following the gentle tone.

When she saw Gawain's faint smile, Uta suddenly thought of her father for some reason.

On the other side, seeing Uta standing there in a daze, Gawain had no choice but to bring Shirahoshi to Uta's front.

Uta was not very old, looking only thirteen or fourteen years old, and for her age, she was quite short.

So Gawain raised his hand and placed it on Uta's head, casually ruffling Uta's red and white hair.

"Why are you stunned? Do I look scary?"

"Why?!!"

Before Uta could recover from her momentary daze, Gawain, who was furiously rubbing the angel's head, left her even more at a loss for what to do.

She opened her mouth slightly, staring blankly at Gawain with mixed feelings.

Seeing the little girl's gaze, which seemed to be directed at her father, Gawain shrugged and then gently patted Uta's head.

"Don't just stand there, come sit down with me, don't be shy."

At this point, Gawain waved to Shirahoshi.

"Shirahoshi, the Uta you wanted."

Wow~~~!

Shirahoshi bit her lip, her eyes sparkling. She swung her tail and approached Uta, carefully cradling Uta in her hands.

"Sir, she's so cute!"

Haha, you're all so cute.

Gawain praised the two children, then nodded to Rayleigh before sitting down on the sofa a short distance away.

After sitting down, Gawain took the warmed sake from Gion and sipped it while waving to the reporters who were standing there dumbfounded and at a loss.

Upon seeing Gawain's action, the reporter knelt down with a thud, and countless viewers in front of the screen felt the image suddenly drop.

The sudden, violent turbulence in the scene gave the audience, who had been speechless since the beginning, a brief respite.

People around the world watching the live stream were instantly in an uproar.

"That's the Celestial Dragon, Saint Gawain???"

"Ah, if such Celestial Dragon were to come to my island, my worship would be filled with fervor!"

"Yes, although I come from the Kamabakka Kingdom, Celestial Dragon like me will surely like me!"

"This Celestial Dragon is so gentle! I'm so envious of Princess Uta, who got to see him in person!"

"Hey, you're all men, why are you getting excited looking at another man?"

Didn't you see the Pirate Empress? That's the Pirate Empress!!!

"And there's Shirahoshi, that enormous and incredibly beautiful Merfolk! She must be the Mermaid Princess they were talking about in the newspapers!!!"

"Boring people, their focus is entirely on men and women!"

Didn't you notice how Rayleigh addressed that Celestial Dragon?

Rayleigh called him "Sir!"

"Hmph, you old codger, I won't watch!"

At this moment, countless families are experiencing arguments unique to happy families due to differences in their focus.

After all, unhappy families start arguing before they even get to this point...

Meanwhile, aboard the Dark Bird Ship...

Uta stared wide-eyed at Shirahoshi, who was holding her up, her whole body radiating a huge question mark.

What's going on?

Before Uta could react, Shirahoshi had already pressed her cheek against Uta's...

Uta is a lovely girl, so she felt no pressure at all when it came to putting on the Shirahoshi stickers.

Uta only started to struggle as if waking from a dream when she was almost completely enveloped in the soft face.

As a potential spirited young woman whose playlist also includes rock songs, Uta is mostly well-behaved, but she also has a temper.

She struggled to push Shirahoshi's cheek away.

"Stop! I'm here to sing, not to collect figurines!"

"Your name is Shirahoshi, right? Let me go, big sister!"

"Big big...sister?!!"

At that moment, Shirahoshi was completely stunned. Her excited expression vanished, and a shadow instantly enveloped the little Merfolk.

Beside her, Kalifa pursed her lips and explained softly.

"Miss Uta, our Princess Shirahoshi is only twelve years old, two years younger than you!"

"Why?"

Uta lowered his head in a daze.

"So tall at twelve years old? I'm so short..."

"Ha ha."

Kalifa couldn't hold back any longer. She used Geppo to ascend into the air and lifted Uta from Shirahoshi's arms.

After putting Uta down on the ground, Kalifa rubbed Shirahoshi's tail.

"Don't be discouraged, Princess. You look like a grown-up now."

"Oh, is that so?"

Shirahoshi forced herself to stay alert, then cautiously looked at Uta.

Noticing Shirahoshi's gaze, Uta awkwardly adjusted her wide sleeves.

"Since... since you're still a child, then after my concert..."

I'll reluctantly let you play with it for a while!

Wow!

Shirahoshi's eyes lit up immediately; the little girl's happy time had returned.

Upon seeing that look, Uta quickly ran away and approached Gawain, who was talking to reporters, and timidly bowed.

"Saint Gawain."

"Oh?"

Gawain glanced at Uta, then smiled and nodded.

"So Shirahoshi treated her like a toy, haha."

It's okay, she's arrested me like that before, don't take it to heart.

In that instant, every girl watching the live stream let out a terrifying scream.

How can this Celestial Dragon be so gentle!

Even Uta was stunned after hearing Gawain's words.

How could someone say something like that in front of reporters and Camera Den Den Mushi?

However, when Saint Gawain spoke about it, it was so natural and gentle...

Uta blushed slightly and quickly bit her lip. No matter how gentle he was, he wasn't her father, and she couldn't let her thoughts wander.

We have more important business to attend to!

So she became resolute and then spoke to Gawain.

"My lord, I would like to ask you, when shall I begin my performance?"

After all, I came here to sing, and your staff gave me a lot of money...

"If they collect so much money and all they get is to play with Princess Shirahoshi on the ship, what will happen...?"

Uta felt increasingly uneasy as she spoke; why did her tone sound more and more like she was pleading with her father?

He was clearly a bastard who abandoned his family and children!!!

Uta took a deep breath, then looked intently into Gawain's eyes.

"So, Saint Gawain, do I need to start preparing for the concert now?"

On the sofa, listening to Uta's earnest voice, Gawain narrowed his eyes.

"Don't rush, Uta, some guests haven't arrived yet."

So, have some fun on my boat first. I'll be looking forward to your music once the guests arrive.

Your voice... it really sounds like an angel's.

"Saint Gawain..."

Uta was so excited that even the red and white hair knots at the back of her head stood up; she'd been praised by the man who looked so much like her father...

In an instant, Uta no longer felt the anxiety she had felt before boarding the ship.

Now all she wants is to quickly welcome the absent guest and then sing a good song!

Time passed slowly, and the reporter left the vicinity of Gawain, instead excitedly photographing every blade of grass and tree on the Dark Bird Ship.

Every now and then, he would capture the sight of furry little animals darting out of the woods.

The reason he filmed there was because Shirahoshi was always chasing after those cute little animals...

In addition, the Camera Den Den Mushi's eyes would occasionally glance at the other officers on the ship.

With the help of the reporter, viewers of the live broadcast excitedly discussed everyone on Gawain's ship.

For example, Rayleigh, sitting opposite Gawain with a mysterious smile, constantly sipping strong liquor.

For example, Jinbe sitting cross-legged in the swimming pool, closing his eyes to Jinbe.

For example, Kuma standing behind Gawain, his face solemn as he holds a notebook, ready to write something at any moment.

For example, Rob Lucci, standing motionless at the Yoriichi Tsugikuni the field with a pigeon on his shoulder.

Compared to them, there are far more scenes featuring the girls.

But the more people looked, the more they felt something was amiss.

Although that world-renowned singer Uta was having a great time over there.

But why did the others around Saint Gawain seem to be getting increasingly somber?

Especially after Gion drew the Kompira and began to gently wipe the blade with kelp.

Then, when Shakky, with a cigarette in her mouth, took out the Fire Pistol from her waist and started playing with it.

Even more so when Hancock bent down and slightly tightened the straps of her high heels!

The atmosphere... gradually became heavy!

On the Navy's side, Garp landed on Sabaody Archipelago, and opposite him, Aokiji chuckled and moved closer to Garp.

"Mr. Garp, I'm relieved to see you here."

"Haha, Whitebeard dares to leave the New World, so of course I had to come and see!"

Garp responded with a smile, then looked directly at the distant sea.

As he looked, Garp narrowed his eyes slightly and took off his dog-head hat.

"Very well, it seems I've arrived at just the right time. Let everyone get ready."

I can already smell the Whitebeard!!!

At the same time, atop the highest canopy of the Yarukiman tree on Sabaody Island, Yixiao, who was sitting cross-legged on a branch, suddenly gripped his Cane Sword tightly.

"Saint Gawain, you've actually decided to use a live broadcast to initiate negotiations with Whitebeard?"

It seems I don't need to test you at all; your intention to fight against the pirates is crystal clear!

At this point, Yixiao slowly stood up and then took a step.

In the blink of an eye, Yixiao soared into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

It was at this very moment that Yixiao stepped into the air and disappeared, aboard the Dark Bird Ship.

Jinbe, who was sitting cross-legged in the pool, suddenly opened his eyes.

The next second, he pushed off with his legs, bent over, and landed in front of Gawain with a whoosh.

Upon hearing this voice, the reporter quickly turned the camera towards Jinbe, and those watching the live broadcast suddenly heard Jinbe speak.

"Sir, I can sense the approach of the Moby Dick through the siphoning currents in the swimming pool!"

"Hmm, it seems our guests have arrived!"

Gawain nodded in satisfaction, then slowly stood up.

He waved in Uta's direction.

"Uta!"

"Why?"

Upon hearing Gawain's voice, Uta, who was playing hide-and-seek with Shirahoshi, quickly looked towards Gawain.

And then, in the next second, she was caught by Shirahoshi.

While resisting Shirahoshi's rubbed cheeks, Uta shouted at Gawain with a flushed face.

"Gawain, have our guests arrived? May I begin my performance?"

As she spoke, Uta gently flapped her wings, allowing herself to escape from Shirahoshi's grasp.

Then she gently turned her headset.

Instantly, the speakers and light effects she carried with her completely surrounded her.

"So handsome!"

Shirahoshi, standing to the side, narrowed her eyes enviously. She also loved singing; should she learn to sing someday?

Leaving aside Shirahoshi's inner thoughts, Gawain nodded to Uta from afar.

"Uta, my guests will be arriving soon, so please take this opportunity to sing."

"OK!"

Uta excitedly opened her arms.

"What song would you like to hear, sir?"

The instant she finished speaking, a water column hundreds of meters thick suddenly erupted from the sea surface less than a hundred meters away from the Dark Bird Ship!

A powerful jet of water shot high into the sky, creating an incredibly deafening roar!

At the same moment, Gawain shouted to Uta with a smile.

"Please sing us a war song, Uta!"

Boom!!!

When the waves reached their highest point, the Moby Dick suddenly broke through the water's surface, leaping hundreds of meters high like a giant whale before finally landing back on the sea!

Thump!!!

The massive Moby Dick created a huge splash, and its outer coating shattered in an instant.

The moment the coating completely shattered, the Moby Dick revealed its full form.

It was a colossal ship, over 1,200 meters long, with four similarly sized escort ships Moby Dick it.

From the air, the Moby Dick and its escort ships together resemble a crossed skull pattern.

And this is Whitebeard's flagship, which is also the most famous ship on the high seas, the ship of the Emperors of the Sea!

Faced with the oncoming waves, the Dark Bird Ship swayed slightly along with the sea surface.

Gawain stepped onto the slightly swaying deck and walked step by step toward the Moby Dick.

At the same time, Rayleigh's glasses suddenly lit up. He shuffled along in his slippers, casually carrying his sword, following on Gawain's left.

Gion then abruptly sheathed the Kompira sword and moved to Gawain's right side.

The people, who had been preparing for a long time, returned to their positions one by one, and with Gawain as the arrowhead, they moved closer and closer to the Moby Dick.

Behind them, the echoes of the Moby Dick's landing had not yet faded, while Uta stood there, stunned.

So... the battle song Gawain asked me to sing was actually for both them and for that Whitebeard?!

Beside Uta, the reporters had long forgotten to photograph Uta; they all excitedly picked up their Den Den Mushi) and snapped photos of the quiet Moby Dick!

Meanwhile, more reporters excitedly used their Photo Den Den Mushi) to capture the silent backs of Gawain and his group.

In front of their televisions, countless people have completely lost the ability to speak out!

Just a moment ago, it was a scene of carefree joy, like everyone was having a good time.

The next second...

Whitebeard really did leave the New World; he's ventured back into the Grand Line!!!

In the Grand Line, countless Ochoku. Now, the Heavenly Tribute dare not delay any longer!

Similarly, countless people are either on their way to sea or preparing to set sail.

Their hearts began to pound violently!

As an ordinary person with a dream of becoming a pirate.

How many times in their lives will they have the chance to see the legendary great pirates in person?

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

Heavy footsteps suddenly emanated from the bow of the Moby Dick, the sound like drumbeats, striking the hearts of every spectator.

As the audience's hearts pounded, the footsteps drew ever closer.

Finally, the tall, Whitebeard figure, draped in a coat, stood firmly on the bow of the Moby Dick.

Clang!!!

With a loud crash, Whitebeard planted the Murakumogiri beside him, then stood at the bow of the ship, excitedly looking in Gawain's direction.

Meanwhile, on the Dark Bird Ship, Gawain also arrived at the side of the ship closest to the bow of the Moby Dick.

For a moment, Gawain and the Whitebeard's eyes met fiercely.

Crack!

A sudden, loud sound like Inazuma being torn apart filled the air!

Thump...

Countless thuds echoed as reporters, maids, agents of the Black Ice Terrace, and even the Den Den Mushi) responsible for filming all collapsed, each only able to hold on for a few more seconds!

In that very instant, Uta fluttered its adorable wings and stubbornly raised its head.

The battle song promised to the master has not yet been sung, and as a songstress, she must not fall on the stage that has just opened!

Uta gently adjusted his in-ear monitor, took a deep breath, and after a moment, a clear, ethereal voice, seemingly from beyond the heavens, finally rang out from the Bian Dark Bird Ship!

The moment the sound rang out, it intertwined with an incredibly exciting rhythm!

As the rhythm of the war song resounded across the sea, the pupils of Whitebeard and Gawain suddenly turned crimson!

Crack!

Tear!

Gawain's side was torn apart by hundreds of meters of thin air, and the bow of the Moby Dick was also completely destroyed by half!

Gawain's black and gold Conqueror's Haki's Haki clashed violently with Whitebeard's black and red Conqueror's Haki, and they began to tear each other apart.

The clouds in the sky shattered instantly, and both the Dark Bird Ship and Moby Dick were pushed back more than fifty meters. The distinct Conqueror's Haki completely divided the world in the Den Den Den Mushi's eyes into two parts.

And this was the last thing the Den Den Mushi saw...

So what if I update extra chapters? So what if I write 10,000 words a day? Will I get votes just because I update extra chapters?
