Meeting the Lord in Hell

If the three of them can't do it together, then the only thing they can do is wait for Uta to fall asleep. Once Uta is asleep, the World of Song will naturally be dissolved.

The World of Songs may seem unsolvable, but in reality, it's not that complicated.

Given their combined strength, Uta had no way of influencing them within the World of Song; their departure was only a matter of time.

Unless one extremely rare case occurs...

If Uta dies while fully conscious, then the World of Song will be eternal.

Long, long ago, there was a Devil Fruit User who used this method to seal away the Demon King of Songs.

Of course, Red-Haired didn't tell Kaido and the other man these things.

"If you're willing to wait until Uta falls asleep, I don't mind."

"Hmph, Newgate."

Kaido turned his gaze to Whitebeard, Whitebeard smiled and said, "Anyway, let's get out of here first. There's nothing good about being trapped here."

Therefore, the three chose to join forces.

Elegia, restaurant.

Uta's consciousness returned from the World of Song. When she opened her eyes and looked at Dimon, she found that Dimon had fallen asleep in his chair.

"Oh? My benefactor, what's wrong?"

"Master has entered the World of Song."

Uta blinked in confusion. She hadn't dragged Dimon into the World of Song, so how did he get in?

Seemingly sensing her confusion, Ain said calmly:

"You cannot imagine the power of your master."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

After these two days of interaction, Uta has completely understood the Seven Deadly Sins, and everyone in the organization has a fanatical worship of their benefactor.

She didn't press Dimon on how he did it; instead, her eyes darted around, she chuckled, and got up to go to Dimon's side.

Ain stopped her prank:

"I advise you to calm down. If your master wakes up and finds out what you've done, something terrible will happen."

"I'm not afraid at all~"

Uta pulled a paintbrush from his pocket, uncapped it, and was about to scribble on Dimon's face.

People always have plenty of patience when they do bad things.

Just as the pen tip was about to touch Dimon's face, Dimon suddenly opened his eyes.

"Wow—!"

Uta was startled and quickly hid her paintbrush behind her back.

"Being too naughty won't do. Have you thought about what punishment you'll accept?"

The two Big Eye.

Uta tilted her head, feigning innocence, "I... I didn't do anything, benefactor."

"Vileis."

What is Vileis?

Uta was puzzled, and then he witnessed a miraculous scene.

A nearly transparent cloth was slowly peeled off from the benefactor's shoulder and floated in mid-air.

"Owner."

"Give her a little lesson," Dimon said jokingly to Uta as he stood up. "Have you ever walked on an absolutely slippery floor?"

Uta had a bad feeling. She instinctively took a half step back and immediately wanted to run away.

But after taking that slight step, it was as if he had stepped on a banana peel, and he cried out "Ah!" before falling face-first into the dirt.

"It hurts!"

"Reflect on your actions."

Dimon watched the girl's fall unfold for a moment, then laughed, "Ain, watch her. Let her go when she realizes she was wrong."

After saying that, he got up and left the restaurant.

"Wait, I know I was wrong."

Uta hurriedly apologized, but as she braced herself on the floor to apologize again, she fell once more.

"I reminded you," Ain sneered.

Mere Humans, how dare they try to play pranks on their master's face?

"Help me, Mr. Ain!"

"No, you'll just have to accept your punishment. Don't worry, this is a perfectly smooth floor; you definitely won't be able to get up."

"I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

What did you do wrong?

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have acted impulsively."

"It seems you haven't reflected on your actions at all!"

"Oh no, I shouldn't have teased my benefactor!"

No, you don't understand at all.

Ain's voice seemed to be in surround sound, drilling into Uta's ears from all directions:

"Master doesn't care about your prank. Master's domineering Haki will automatically protect you. Master is just punishing you. You were too weak and didn't use the World of Songs to trap those three people."

"Ah?"

Uta was stunned, only then realizing that her World of Song seemed to have been shattered.

After silently observing for a while, she covered her mouth in surprise.

"How could this be?!"

Hachinosu.

When Shanks awoke, he was surrounded by people.

The members of the Red Hair Pirates surrounded him.

"Shanks, how are you?" Beckman asked gravely.

"No... it's nothing."

Shanks waved his hand, stood up, and looked at Whitebeard and Kaido.

Whitebeard was also under tight protection by the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, but Kaido, being all alone, was captured by Big Mom's men.

Charlotte Linlin let out two strange laughs:

"Mamam~ Kaido, were you unconscious just now, kid?"

"You old hag! Is this... Seastone?"

Kaido tried to struggle, only to find himself tightly bound by Seastone chains.

"Don't call me despicable. Blame yourself for not being on guard." Charlotte Linlin crossed her arms, looking down at the sullen-faced Kaido, and sneered.

"You laughed at me yesterday, didn't you? Now I'm asking you, wasn't I the most beautiful woman when I was young?"

Kaido was utterly speechless.

Sure enough, betrayal is rampant among pirates. Yesterday they were fighting Red-Haired alongside him, and today they're seizing the opportunity to stab him in the back.

Kaido dismissed Charlotte Linlin's questioning with disdain:

"How many times do I have to tell you, when you were young, Shakky was more popular than you. Stop lying to yourself, you old hag."

"I'm really angry now!"

Charlotte Linlin was trembling with anger.

On the other side.

Red-Haired silently sheathed his beloved sword, turned and left.

"Shanks, what exactly happened between you three just now?"

"It's Uta." The Red-Haired took a deep breath. "Uta might be on this island. Find her immediately!"

On the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco and the other captains looked at their Pops with concern.

"I'm fine, I just got tricked by a little girl. What a remarkable guy..."

Whitebeard couldn't help but sigh, "That girl Uta, her abilities are truly insidious."

If he were alone, he would probably have no choice but to stay obediently in the World of Song and wait until the other person falls asleep before he could leave.

In the end, it was Red-Haired's suggestion that the three of them join forces and use Conqueror's Haki to finally break that world.

"Is she that Red-Haired brat's daughter?"

Whitebeard stood up and looked at the backs of Red-Haired and the others. Seeing that they had already left, he couldn't help but smile.

Was the girl trying to stop their fight?

"They can't hold back the Four Emperors."

As Dimon left the restaurant, he recalled the last scene before the World of Song shattered.

With the combined power of the Divine Departure, the Flame Dragon Torch, and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, the three Pirate Emperors shattered the false heavens of the World of Song.

"They might not even need three people working together; two people combined could break through with a single blow..."

"It seems that Uta's World of Song cannot trap Imu."

Chapter 228 Meeting the Lord in Hell

The potential of the World of Song is clearly not limited to this, after all, previous Devil Fruit User were able to seal away demons.

It's just that Uta hasn't fully developed the fruit's potential and hasn't reached the Awakening state, which is why the World of Song could be easily destroyed.

I wonder how it compares to another eternal World of Song?

With a thought, Dimon took out the sheet music for sealing the Demon King.

[Owner.]

Words appeared on the sheet music. Dimon pondered for a moment, then asked as he walked:

Can you draw others into the World of Song?

[It can be done, Master.]

[You can think of me as a key to the World of Song; as long as someone hums the notes emanating from me, I can pull their consciousness into that World of Song.]

"It has to be the other person humming on their own initiative?"

Dimon frowned slightly.

This is different from the conditions for a Sing-Sing Devil Fruit User to activate their ability, and it sounds more difficult.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

After all, this is just a musical score, a creation of the Sing-Sing Devil Fruit User, not the user himself.
