The Flying Pirates.
"Ah! Luo Wen, I swear to kill you!"
Looking at the three remaining floating islands, the Golden Lion was overcome with grief.
His hard-earned power, built up over many years, was largely wiped out by a single Divine Spear from Luo Wen.
But the thought of that light gun that could pierce through two islands and destroy one inevitably brought fear to the Golden Lion's eyes.
"Forget it, Luo Wen has suffered considerable losses this time, so let's not cause him any trouble."
The Golden Lion quickly regained his senses and even found a good excuse.
Before him, a golden Divine Spear was planted in the ground, shining with the brilliance of the sun.
This artifact, capable of destroying an island, is now in his hands.
Once the secret is uncovered, the current losses will be insignificant.
"My darling, my darling!"
The Golden Lion stared in fascination at the gleaming divine Divine Spear before him.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a super weapon capable of destroying an island; it even glows continuously!
As the Golden Lion was admiring the Luo Wen locator, a clear and melodious singing voice drifted over, catching the Golden Lion's attention.
The singing seemed to possess a peculiar magic, capable of soothing the wounds in people's hearts.
He even felt a sense of ease in the head where the rudder was attached.
Who is singing?
Unleashing his Observation Haki, Golden Lion saw on the island below that there was only an old man on his deathbed and a beautiful girl with red and white hair.
Without a doubt, the clear female voice must have come from that beautiful young woman.
Golden Lion made up his mind to recruit this beautiful songstress as his subordinate.
Looking down at the ruins-like island, the Golden Lion frowned, unable to figure out the girl's origins.
"Does anyone know anything about this island, or what's the situation with those two people?"
Golden Lion looked at his few remaining subordinates, hoping to obtain relevant information.
The dozen or so pirates looked at each other, somewhat bewildered. Fortunately, a few with good memories answered with the name Golden Lion.
"Boss, this is Elegia, the abandoned music capital, once the music center of the world!"
"Ten years ago, the Red-Haired Pirates coveted the treasure here, destroyed the entire country, and even killed those who came to the concert."
In the end, only an old king and a little girl survived.
A pirate, his eyes gleaming with greed, coveted the treasures of a nation.
The Four Emperors are awesome; they can do whatever they want.
"So it was that Red-Haired- haired brat who did this. Wasn't he so high and mighty? He still destroyed someone's country."
The Golden Lion suddenly understood, and felt even more confident in subduing Uta.
These two must be the survivors from back then, and they probably hate Shanks to the core.
Once you grasp this point, winning over that little girl will be a piece of cake.
Golden Lion stopped the island above Elegia and jumped down with a dozen or so pirates.
Uta and Gordon were both very nervous looking at the group of pirates in front of them.
They had already recognized the Golden Lion as the notorious pirate who had been wreaking havoc in the East Blue these past two days.
"Lord Golden Lion, this is just a deserted island; there are no treasures here worth your attention."
Gordon's aged face was full of helplessness.
He never imagined that his deserted island, now a ruin, would attract such a ferocious pirate as Golden Lion.
I just hope these guys aren't after Uta.
"A treasure? Isn't this songstress with an exceptionally beautiful voice the most precious treasure?"
"Little girl, join my pirate crew and share in the glory of conquering the world!"
The Golden Lion pointed at Uta, his admiration undisguised.
"Evil pirates, I will not join you!"
Uta's eyes were filled with hatred as he glared at the Golden Lion.
Shanks took the blame for Elegia's destruction, which filled her with hatred for pirates.
The Golden Lion before her intends to destroy the entire East Blue. Its crimes are many times more heinous than those of Shanks. How could she possibly join such a pirate crew!
Gordon's heart skipped a beat, and he shielded Uta behind him.
It doesn't matter whether he, this old man, lives or dies, but Uta, whom he raised from childhood, absolutely cannot be harmed.
"Follow me, and I'll lead you to conquer the world. I'll avenge that brat Shanks too!"
The Golden Lion wasn't annoyed at all and arrogantly offered his terms.
"I will never agree to this. Even if it's for revenge, I will never go with you!"
Uta stared at the Golden Lion with a stubborn look in his eyes.
She hates Shanks because he bears the guilt of slaughtering an entire nation. Golden Lion, who intends to destroy the East Blue, is also someone she despises.
The Golden Lion's face immediately darkened; he was no saint.
Whether you agree or not is not up to you!
The Golden Lion reached out and grabbed at Uta.
If Uta doesn't want to, then he can't arrest him?
What a joke! He's got a really bad temper right now!
Uta sang angrily, trying to pull the Golden Lion into the Song-Song World.
"Interesting power, but shut up!"
The Golden Lion discovered Uta's special abilities and seized control of Uta.
"You can't take her away, she's Red-Haired's daughter!"
Gordon stood in front of Golden Lion, his face resolute. At this point, he didn't care about anything else; he only hoped that Golden Lion would give Red-Haired some face.
"Haha, Shanks destroyed your country, and you're still raising his daughter? You're being far too generous!"
As if he'd heard a joke, the Golden Lion slapped Gordon across the face. "Get out of here, old man!"
Gordon was slapped and sent flying, crashing into a tree and losing consciousness.
"Gordon!"
Uta looked at Gordon, whose fate was unknown, and silently shed tears.
A sheet of sheet music on parchment suddenly appeared in her hand.
Even though its throat was being choked by the Golden Lion, it still managed to utter a mysterious melody.
The next moment, the Demon King, sealed beneath Elegia's earthly walls, was summoned.
Vast swaths of black mist billowed out, blotting out the sun and plunging the entire island of Elegia into darkness.
"What's this?"
A bad feeling arose in the Golden Lion's heart, and he was dumbfounded.
He even wondered if he had stolen Lady Luck's underwear; how could he be so unlucky?
Releasing wild beasts in the East Blue resulted in the destruction of years of hard work by Luo Wen in a single blow.
Trying to capture a mere songstress, I unexpectedly encountered such a monster.
What happened to this ocean?
There are hidden talents everywhere, can't we at least give an old guy like him a chance to survive?
At some point, Uta, who had been controlled by the Golden Lion, disappeared and merged into the giant monster.
Its arms are made of piano keys, its lower body is a huge mass of black liquid, its face looks like a vampire, and it has messy yellow seaweed-like hair.
The ridiculous yet sinister appearance evokes a sense of extreme danger.
Answering Uta's call, the Demon King of Songs, Tot Musica, descends upon the world!
"Gulp!"
"Boss, should we still arrest her?!"
First mate Indigo swallowed hard, looking at the Golden Lion with fear.
"Catch me my ass, run!"
The Golden Lion glared at the Giant Demon King before him and roared in anger.
Without any hesitation, he took Indigo and flew into the sky. As for the other underlings, they were left behind to buy time; they were just tools anyway.
Now they're truly all alone; the entire Flying Pirates is down to just two captains, one captain and one lieutenant.
