"Rescue Uta first, then deal with this big guy!"
Shanks said in a deep voice.
Now that Uta is inside Tot Musica, they are hesitant to act freely, fearing the consequences.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shanks tried to rush into Tot Musica's body.
But another figure was faster than him.
"Magic Unleashed - Flame!"
Propelled by golden flames, Luo Wen rushed into Tot Musica's body before Shanks could.
Seeing this, Shanks had no choice but to stay outside and draw fire.
"She's clearly my adopted daughter, so why is he more anxious than I am?"
Shanks, keeping Tot Musica occupied, harbored some doubts.
At this moment, Luo Wen had already entered Tot Musica's body and was rampaging inside.
Its interior is filled with black musical notes, and its entirety is composed of countless distorted musical staves.
There was also an unpleasant singing voice, distorted and bizarre.
"Found it!"
After searching for a long time, Luo Wen found the location of Uta, which was probably the core of the Music Demon King.
The cute girl with red and white hair and wearing headphones is Uta.
At this moment, she was bound inside Tot Musica's body, and tears streamed down her face in pain.
"Shanks, I'm sorry."
"Gordon, I am the sinner."
Uta's tears flowed incessantly; her heart was ashen.
When I was integrating into Totkamgia, I recalled vague memories from back then.
Elegia wasn't destroyed by Shanks, but rather destroyed by her. Shanks, whom she always hated, merely bore all the blame for her.
Gordon, who raised her, was also the one who destroyed the country.
The immense psychological blow left her feeling utterly hopeless.
Just then, she saw Luo Wen, wreathed in golden flames, like a holy angel.
"Are you an angel who has come to judge me?"
Uta nestled into Luo Wen, wanting to purify herself with the sacred golden flames.
"I'm not here to judge you, I'm here to rescue you."
Feeling the youthful, beautiful body in his arms, Luo Wen frowned slightly.
It appears that Uta has developed a serious tendency toward self-destruction.
"Coming to save me? I am the sinner who destroyed everything, I don't deserve to be saved."
Uta looked dazed, with a broken expression on his face.
"Don't save me, I don't deserve to live in this world!"
"I destroyed Elegia, and now I want to destroy the East Blue. I am a sinner!"
Uta struggled in Luo Wen, crying out in despair.
"It's not your fault; it's because you ate the Sing-Sing Fruit. The sheet music for unsealing the Music Demon King will appear before every Song-Song Devil Fruit User."
"Whether unintentionally or out of despair, they were lured into singing the score."
Luo Wen stopped the girl's struggles and said as he walked out.
"That was also a sin I committed, and I will atone for it with my death!"
Uta's struggles lessened somewhat, but she still didn't want to live. The guilt in her heart made her lose all interest in life.
Sigh~
Luo Wen sighed. So, he was going to resort to threats after all?
"If you die, the Sing-Sing Fruit will be reborn somewhere else, and another Song-Song Devil Fruit User will emerge to unleash the Music Demon King."
"Uta, you don't want the Music Demon King to appear in the world multiple times, do you?"
Luo Wen whispered in Uta's ear.
"..."
Uta remained silent, somewhat wavering.
If she were to use herself as a prison to trap the Music Demon King, she would still have a responsibility to survive.
"Since you believe you've done many wrong things, why think of escaping through death?"
Luo Wen smiled and continued to tease him.
"I didn't run away!"
Uta glared at Luo Wen, like a proud little lion.
"Since you're not thinking of running away, then come with me to create a new world and atone for your past sins."
Having successfully used reverse psychology, Luo Wen casually extended an invitation.
"I want to atone for my past sins, but why should I go with you? Maybe you're also after Tot Musica, wanting to use it to threaten the world!"
Uta said somewhat warily.
She had also heard of the legend of Luo Wen, a madman who even killed Celestial Dragons.
Who knows, maybe he's planning to use Tot Musica to destroy the world.
"Compared to Tot Musica's meager power, you're much more attractive to me, Red-Haired songstress."
Luo Wen whispered in Uta's ear.
He wouldn't stoop so low as to indulge in a fantasy world; with his power, he could rightfully become the king of the harem.
No, the King of the World!
"Snort!"
Feeling the warm breath on her ear, Uta's pretty face flushed slightly, and she angrily turned her head away.
She didn't believe any of Luo Wen's nonsense. That was a demon that even the Red-Haired Pirates couldn't subdue; no one could underestimate him.
Seeing that Uta remained silent, Luo Wen hugged her tightly and rushed out of Tot Musica's body.
"Uta, long time no see."
Shanks looked at Uta and greeted her with a smile.
"Shanks."
Uta buried her head in Luo Wen, murmuring softly through her tears.
She didn't know how to face her adoptive father.
He harbored resentment for ten years, only to finally discover that it was Shanks's good intentions, and that he himself was the mastermind behind it all.
She couldn't accept the disappointment and guilt she felt at the time.
"Let's reminisce later."
"Miss Uta, can you seal this monster back in?"
Aokiji looked at Uta, his expression serious.
"No, the forbidden melody has already been sung, and I can't control it now."
Uta shook his head and said bitterly.
Tot Musica has been completely unsealed; she has no control over her.
"It's no big deal, we can just take it down."
Luo Wen handed Uta over to Nami and the others to take care of, then turned to face the Music Demon King.
"Don't blame yourself too much, we'll take care of it, Uta."
Shanks, with his back to Uta, said in a deep voice.
Parents naturally have to clean up the mess caused by their daughter.
"Shanks, and Luo Wen..."
Uta's eyes filled with tears, and she didn't know what to say.
Luo Wen and Shanks stand side by side, battling Tot Musica.
Without waiting, Luo Wen made the first move.
"Ultimate Skill: One-Sword Severance!"
Luo Wen's aura was incredibly refined.
It displayed Inazuma -fast speed, charging forward with overwhelming force.
The surface of the giant sword was covered with a layer of jet-black Armament Haki, and it was surrounded by golden flames and jet-black madness.
It combines Karna's flames, Berserker's madness, and top-tier Armament Haki.
It possessed a terrifying power that sent chills down one's spine, and even the air suddenly became heavy.
It slammed into Tot Musica, who was still in a frenzy and relentlessly encroaching outwards.
"Boom--!"
The deafening roar shook the heavens.
Like a devastating blow.
The enormous and terrifying demon king was instantly torn to pieces, turning into pitch-black smoke.
The Music Demon King, who once destroyed Elegia, was utterly defeated by Luo Wen.
"So, the so-called Demon King really meant nothing to him?"
Uta was shocked as he watched Luo Wen's violent attack destroy the enemy.
[Compared to Totjimka's power, you are more attractive.]
Unconsciously, Uta recalled Luo Wen's words.
Her pretty face flushed slightly, and her eyes sparkled with a strange light.
