Uta's Great Adventure

The worst time was when I was almost swallowed by a giant octopus in the dark depths of the sea.

Moreover, Kuranos had a vague premonition that his number of rebirths was not unlimited.

To be precise, it was his consciousness that was being gradually worn down through endless cycles of reincarnation.

Perhaps after a few hundred more times, he will completely succumb, and then he can only wait for his master to find him and awaken him again.

"Wear and tear..."

Kuranos silently murmured a word that came to mind.

Wear and tear, wear and tear of consciousness.

He must be reborn on land, or at least away from the sea, in the hundreds of rebirths to come; only then will he have the ability to act independently.

But why is that?

"Even statistically speaking, with over seventy rebirths, he should be reborn on some island by now. Why is he always in the sea?"

Kuranos was completely baffled.

Is it just bad luck, or is there some other special reason?

The curse of the sea?

Still unable to figure it out, Kuranos temporarily set aside his doubts and patiently observed his surroundings.

Suddenly, he sensed a faint presence, which seemed to be one of his own kind.

After careful observation, Kuranos discovered that there was an island about five kilometers away from him.

To be precise, there are two islands, one large and one small, one on the main island and the other a smaller outlying island.

Kuranos was overjoyed, but the next moment, he calmed down.

"No, I can't move at all. I can only drift with the current. If I'm lucky enough to be washed ashore on an island..."

Perhaps the god of fate finally smiled upon him; the nearby climate suddenly changed, and the waves gradually became turbulent, propelling him slowly toward the island.

Fifteen minutes later.

Kuranos was washed ashore and touched the sand.

"We did it! We're finally out of trouble!"

Kuranos was so excited that he wanted to transform into human form; once he was out of the sea, there were a million ways to get back.

However, just as he was about to take human form, that faint aura reappeared.

"The aura of a kind... who is it?"

Kuranos remained still, silently sensing this extremely faint aura.

He was absolutely certain that it was the aura of a demon.

But this aura was extremely unfamiliar; it wasn't one of the Seven Deadly Sins he knew. It was like a flickering candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

"Huh? This is... Devil Fruit!?"

Suddenly, a joyful voice came from afar.

Kuranos snapped out of his daze and noticed a human woman on the shore.

She was about 17 or 18 years old, with long, two-tone hair that was half red and half white, and wearing large yellow and blue headphones.

She wore a short white dress and a loose, colorful coat with sleeves longer than her arms.

The girl, barefoot, skipped and hopped to Kuranos's side, and picked him up with a joyful expression.

"Wow... it really is Devil Fruit! Was it washed ashore by the waves? Lucky~"

After a brief moment of excitement, the girl sighed again.

"Why not something else? Devil Fruit, I'm already a Devil Fruit user. If only it were Den Den Mushi... How's the outside world doing?"

Is this woman a superhuman?

After thinking for a moment, Kuranos decided to speak first:

"Humans, kneel before the great serpent god, and then answer my question."

The girl was startled, looked around, and finally Big Eye at the Devil Fruit in her hand.

"There's only Gordon and me on the island, no one else... Was that you speaking? The Devil Fruit spoke!!"

She was startled and instinctively let go.

Kuranos fell from a height of more than a meter. He did not rush to transform into human form. He did not want to reveal himself carelessly before he was certain of the aura of his "comrade".

Answer my questions: Who are you, and where is this place?

After a brief moment of shock, the girl blinked her Big Eyes, curiously squatted down, and poked the fruit with her finger.

"It really is you speaking? Devil Fruits can talk? How amazing."

The Yamata no Orochi Fruit. "Do you even listen to people? You wretched humans!"

"Answer the question, human, do you wish to anger the great Kuranos?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Uta. This is the City of Music, Elegia."

At this point, Uta's voice lowered slightly.

"It used to be..."

Chapter 210 Uta's Great Adventure

Elegia, the City of Music.

This place was once a world-renowned prosperous country and a musical mecca celebrated far and wide.

The entire island is centered around music, with concert halls and music academies scattered throughout, and it hosts grand music festivals year-round, attracting musicians from all over the world.

However, all of this came to an end seven years ago.

A massive disaster struck the island. The Red Hair Pirates destroyed it, and overnight, Elegia was reduced to ruins. Only two people survived on the entire island.

One was nine-year-old Uta, and the other was King Gordon at the time.

From that time on, the City of Music of Elegia disappeared completely from history, and even today's sea charts no longer mark any information about it.

After hearing Uta's story, Kuranos was completely bewildered.

After finally returning to the mainland, they found themselves on a deserted island. Although there were two living people there, it was practically no different from being a deserted island.

Fortunately, this was a minor issue for him; he had a million ways to return to the Seven Deadly Sins.

However, there is another matter that deserves his attention right now.

That faint, lingering aura of "kindred spirits"...

Uta squatted on the ground, her Big Eyes curiously observing the Yamata no Orochi Fruit. Seeing that he remained silent, she couldn't help but poke him again with her finger.

"Human, you have gone too far! This is blasphemy against the great serpent god!"

"Eh... Excuse me, why can you talk? This is the first time I've ever seen Devil Fruit that can talk."

Uta apologized again, but he wouldn't change his ways. "Legend has it that Devil Fruits harbor demons. Are you a demon?"

"That's right! I come from the Seven Deadly Sins, the demon of Envy, Kuranos."

"I can hear you clearly, you're too loud, Mr. Kuranos."

Uta covered her ears with her hands, her brows slightly furrowed.

The demon... reminded her of unpleasant memories, and she fell silent.

Kuranos snorted coldly. He hated humans, and he hated unruly humans even more.

"I ask you again, besides you and that one other person, who else is on the island?"

"No, it's just Gordon and me."

"Let me put it another way. Have you ever heard of the Seven Deadly Sins? Have any members of the Seven Deadly Sins ever been to this island?"

"No."

Uta blinked and asked, "What are the Seven Deadly Sins?"

Kuranos fell into deep thought. The organization had never been to this island, so what was the deal with the "demon" on it?

It wasn't a demon awakened by its master, so could it be a wild... self- Awakening being?

Such a demon is not impossible; most Mythical Zoan Mythical Zoan Fruits possess consciousness, and the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika can even choose its own consumer.

Considering the possibility that the other party might Awakening on its own, Kuranos did not act rashly. He planned to contact his master first, report the information here, and wait for his master's decision.

Thinking of this, he immediately said:

"The Seven Deadly Sins is an organization founded by my Lord. I need a Den Den Mushi to contact my companions. Human, I grant you permission to serve me."

"You still have an owner?"

Uta's focus annoyed Kuranos; that stupid human, did he even listen to anyone?

"The key is the Den Den Mushi!"

"Sorry, I don't have Den Den Mushi."

Uta rolled her eyes at him. "If we had Den Den Mushi, I would have already found a way to contact the outside world. This island is so boring."

Uta arrived on this island at the age of 9 and is now 16. For the past 7 years, she has lived on this island and has never seen another human besides Gordon.

Unfortunately, Gordon was a taciturn old man, and there was nothing to talk about with him.

Uta spends most of her time living alone and singing.

That is why, even knowing that Kuranos is a demon, she still maintains a passionate attitude.

She's so incredibly bored!

"Didn't you just say this used to be a prosperous country? There isn't even a Den Den Mushi here?" Kuranos found it unbelievable.

"Everyone's told me that a huge disaster happened here seven years ago, and everyone died."

"Did the Den Den Mushi die too?"

"I don't know. Maybe they were burned to death in the fire, or maybe they escaped. I searched the ruins for a while, but I found nothing."

"Take me to find it."

Uta chuckled softly, "You're an idiot, Mr. Devil. All these years ago, even if there were any living Den Den Mushi, they'd all starve to death by now."

"Mere Humans..." Kuranos was speechless. This wretched human brat showed him no respect whatsoever.

When Whitebeard found him, those people treated him a million times better than he did.

However, without Den Den Mushi, we can't contact Ain, and without contacting Ain, we can't inform our master about the situation here...

Kuranos had no choice but to change his strategy:

"Human beings."

"Please call me Uta, I have a name."

"Uta, go to the forest now and cut down trees to manually build a raft. I need to get back to the organization as soon as possible."

Faced with this matter-of-fact command, Uta could only shake his hand helplessly, his long sleeves swaying back and forth with the movement.

"I won't."

"Um?"

"Really, I can't. If I could build a raft by myself, I would leave this place on my own."

Kuranos was speechless for a moment, and could only mutter under his breath, "Useless humans."

"I'll teach you!"

"Really? That's great! Let's get started now!"

Uta stood up happily and was about to run towards the forest when she realized she had forgotten something. So she turned back and took the Yamata no Orochi Fruit with her.

"And my shoes! Where are my shoes? Where did they go?"

She walked barefoot on the beach, looking around, and finally found her shoes on a rock.
