Pirate: My Piltover technology is far ahead!

Chapter 406 The Virtual Singer is Activated, and the Supernova is Overwhelmed by N

Since legendary pirates of the same era, such as Roger and Shiki, disappeared from the seas one after another, Whitebeard became the last legend, known as the man who came closest to becoming the Pirate King.

If such a strong person were to be defeated in battle, people would usually be amazed by the newcomer's strength. Blackbeard's betrayal was undoubtedly the most humiliating thing for him.

When ironclad rules are broken by one's own subordinates, the consequences are undoubtedly enormous.

Over the years, Whitebeard had lost his former prowess due to illness and old age. This incident further fueled rumors that Whitebeard was too old to fight, leading to a surge in the number of people challenging him.

They hoped to gain fame by stepping on the corpse of the Whitebeard, but without exception, they all sank into the sea.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; no matter how sick the white-bearded man is, he's not someone these people can easily scam.

Meanwhile, another piece of news from the entertainment industry was gradually emerging on the sea.

[The final stop of the Soul King's global tour, and the first-ever concert by the dreamlike songstress Uta is about to begin!]

Even amidst the crisis at sea, the entertainment industry can still thrive. Brooke's fame is already well-established, and with his reputation, it wouldn't be difficult to promote a newcomer.

After all, the entertainment industry is the same in any world; it's all about resources and connections.

With enough resources, even those with less talent can be pushed to success. Nobody really knows how traffic (or online traffic) is generated.

Even without any resources or connections, there is still a chance to rise. As long as you can find a stage to showcase yourself, ordinary people can rise to prominence and even change their fate overnight.

However, such opportunities are rare.

Uta is quite talented. Although she hasn't performed on stage like Brook in recent years, she has been a virtual singer through online live streaming, or rather, live streaming via Den Den Mushi (a type of virtual telephone mushi).

In terms of direct earnings, Uta didn't earn as much as Brook, since there was no way to make money on this sea, such as selling goods or giving tips. The only expense was replacing some small plugins for Den Den Mushi.

As for the Den Den Mushi itself, it's not expensive, and you don't even need to buy it separately. You can find these snails in the fields of many islands.

Den Den Mushi is a species that is incredibly resilient, has a long lifespan, and is quite lazy.

Living alone in the wild requires finding food on your own, facing predation from natural enemies, and living in a very poor environment.

However, once captured by humans and transformed from snails into Den Den Mushi (snail-shaped food objects), they receive daily feeding from humans.

Living in better environments, many snails will actively approach humans.

Even if there are no Den Den Mushi, you can still receive their signals using devices such as radios.

But the purpose of having Uta do live streaming wasn't simply to earn Pelés. Free things are always the most expensive, and through this free channel, they could actually gain more.

Although Uta's direct financial gains are not as high as Brook's, she has far more fans than Brook.

There are far fewer people who can afford to attend a concert than those who watch a live stream, especially in this vast ocean. Getting to the concert venue isn't just a matter of having money; listening to a live stream is much simpler.

These foundations are the hidden benefits brought by Uta. On the high seas where pirate attacks are frequent, many people are looking for psychological support, and singing is one of them.

A large number of people can even influence public opinion, not to mention that Uta herself is a user of the Song-Song Fruit. The more people hear her singing, the more people will be affected by her ability.

Regardless of the destructive power that Uta can cause within the world of the song, it is itself an excellent platform for revealing the truth.

Previously, Uta had only been singing live and had never shown her face, although she had appeared at the World Conference quite a few times.

However, Uta was not the main focus of the World Conference, and she received relatively little media attention. In addition, not everyone reads the World Conference newspapers, and Uta's appearance also carried a certain mystique.

As a semi-virtual singer, her first official public appearance was already a major talking point.

Of course, if the real person is Qiao Biluo, who made the top-ranked fan flee overnight on a train, then after a brief peak, her popularity will plummet to rock bottom.

It should be said that the traffic did not disappear immediately, but it was transformed into haters in some form.

Uta's situation isn't so dire that he'd suddenly die. With proper management, a well-planned concert with simultaneous global participation would be enough to achieve certain goals.

So many years have passed, and Lyriana is not the only one who knows the truth of what happened back then. Her sisters have also come to understand the matter to some extent and are using their abilities to help clarify it.

Change is a complex matter; it cannot be solved by simply launching a campaign. Reputation is also a very important issue.

In a room in the castle, Uta had just finished her live stream for the week. With the equipment here, she could better transmit her voice to the world.

To be precise, much of the equipment was smuggled out of Piltover in order to facilitate Uta's live streaming operations.

Goodbye everyone~ I'll be waiting for you on this channel again next week at the same time~

Uta then turned off the live stream signal and carefully checked it to make sure the signal would not be transmitted again before lying down on the sofa chair.

"Uta, the letters your fans wrote to you are all safe."

At the same time, Blitz took over a cube about the same size as himself. It looked like a perfectly fitted white cube, but in reality, it contained letters.

Blitz simply conducted a security check to prevent any extreme fans from sending over any strange or unusual items.

Human nature is strange. Sometimes two people who have no grudges against each other can be affected by each other because the other wants to take revenge on society. Some people may even be jealous of others who are not related to them.

Some people share their recent experiences simply to share their joy, yet they are subjected to malice for no reason.

Uta's live streams don't have a live chat feature or bullet comments; these letters are the main form of communication.

Most of the letters are handled by androids, who will read them and offer greetings and words of concern in Uta's voice.

There's nothing we can do about it. Ever since Uta debuted through the Den Den Mushi channel, she's received a constant stream of similar letters. If Uta were to read every single one herself, she wouldn't be able to finish them even if she didn't eat, drink, or sleep.

Uta could actually handle all the letters this way, but in order to maintain good relationships with these fans, she would still read some of them herself.

However, these letters inevitably contain malice. Simple verbal abuse is nothing compared to the fact that some even send razor blades.

Sending a razor blade doesn't mean putting the blade inside the envelope. Instead, it means sealing a very thin blade at the seal of the envelope. If the recipient doesn't pay attention and tears it open, they will cut their finger.

Blitz's inspection efficiency far surpasses that of security screening machines. Once someone eats something, Blitz can instantly figure out its composition, immediately determining whether it's ordinary mail or a dangerous item.

Blitz can also use the power of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit to integrate the letters, turning them into a large tissue box for Uta to draw himself.

"Thank you. You seem to be feeling much more relaxed lately."

"The core energy mix has been largely determined, which reduces workload, that's true. But Blitz is a robot, a robot, it doesn't get tired."

Previously, Blitzcrank's main task was to use the power of the Gluttony Fruit to create energy cores. Now that the basic plan has been finalized, Blitzcrank's workload has naturally become lighter.

Overall, however, not much has changed. The job content has changed from endless new attempts to mechanical repetitive production. But for robots, mechanical repetitive actions are the easiest thing to do.

Miss Uta, your singing is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. You gave me the will to keep living.

Life is beautiful, a happy future will come, keep going...

Our cows seem to produce more milk just from hearing your singing! It would be great if you could stream for a few more days... :]

"You could try using a tape recorder. If you don't have one, you could try other music. I've heard that music can help animals relax..."

I really want to lick your feet...

tear.

With the sound of paper tearing, Uta destroyed one letter and then calmly opened the next one.

Opening letters yourself always involves dealing with various situations; it's just weird, nothing serious.

Sending a letter requires leaving the sender's address, and some people have gone even further, having their doors knocked on in the middle of the night to greet them.

Paper is not above the law, and writing letters also carries responsibility.

Uta threw the torn pieces of paper directly onto the floor, while Perona floated out through the wall at the same time.

"You littered again. I've told you before, you can have someone else read these letters for you. As long as you're careful, no one can tell whether you actually read them or not."

That way, I won't have to see those disgusting things.

The spirit form of Perona simply couldn't touch physical objects, not that she couldn't read text, even though it was torn to pieces.

Even from a few characters, you can get a general idea of ​​what was written.

"That's only a small part. We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. There are people among them who genuinely love singing."

They might just lack opportunities. Look at this guy, he even asked me how to sing.

Uta ignored Perona's words and instead opened a new letter, a letter humbly seeking advice.

This child, who also wanted to sing, seemed to not know how to breathe properly. He had to stop and catch his breath after each line, which eventually made his singing sound very strange.

"You really have a lot of patience. If I encountered those people who talk nonsense, I would definitely make them feel negative for three days... Don't reply to this letter. This place is too unlucky for you."

Perona saw an invitation letter from Elekia. As the land of singing, the people here wanted to invite Uta to perform in their country. However, that island was the only one in Oran that Uta was forbidden to set foot on, and even the nearby waters did not allow her to approach.

This time, Oran didn't play the riddle-maker either. After Uta grew up, he clearly explained the stakes to her.

"I know, I won't forget what Dad Oran has emphasized so many times."

The two continued to look through the letters, and news that the songstress Uta was about to make her appearance gradually spread, causing some people to feel unbalanced. Moreover, this person was not a fellow pirate, but a very special one.

Pirates have many reasons for setting sail. Some can no longer survive on their original islands and have no choice but to go to sea to survive, eventually being labeled as pirates by chance.

Others are simply rioters whose sole purpose is plunder; these pirates make up the majority.

Besides, many pirates also have their own dreams.

Pirates who claim to be the Pirate King, the world's number one, or who chase after their idols to prove their worth are generally stronger.

Supernovas are usually this type of people; they are all considered leaders among a certain group of pirates.

A bounty of over 100 million is nothing in the New World, but it's a different story in the first half of the Grand Line. Every pirate with a bounty of over 100 million is a big problem in the eyes of the Navy, and this year is no exception.

Among this year's Supernovas, the one with the highest bounty is Cavendish, nicknamed White Horse, with a bounty of 280 million Berries. He is the captain of the Handsome Pirates.

This pirate was originally a prince of the Kingdom of Bluejoa. Because of his extremely handsome face, the women of the kingdom were all infatuated with him, which even affected the normal development of the kingdom.

Both married women and unmarried girls were infatuated with him, which even affected the country's birth rate and family harmony rate, making Cavendish a public enemy of men in the country. He was eventually expelled for being too popular.

Cavendish himself was fine; after being expelled, he continued to live his life as usual, embarking on a new journey with his white horse.

Cavendish also has another malevolent personality within him.

This personality differs from Cavendish's; it has an extreme fondness for killing. While in the Rommel region, Cavendish's evil personality committed numerous crimes, thus earning the nickname "Rommel's Scythe."

This incident forced him to become a pirate, and also led to extensive coverage of him by the news outlet, Cavendish, who was already a prominent figure in his own country and used to living in the spotlight.

Cavendish had no objection to becoming a pirate and being the center of attention in the world; in fact, he enjoyed it immensely and was always eager to show off.

Morgans, who loved the limelight, began to report on Cavendish extensively when he saw that Cavendish was able to attract attention, which caused Cavendish to lose himself for a time.

The title of "Magnificent Supernova," "Pirate Prince," "White Horse," and "Rommel's Kamaitachi" was created by Morgans, and the rest were spread by him.

However, Cavendish flowers have a very short blooming period, and they are soon abandoned by the world.

"No... The newspapers aren't even reporting on me, but instead on some 'King of Souls' and 'Songstress'! What are these people thinking?! Two mere singers, how can they compare to my fame... What are you doing?!"

"Captain, the King of Souls' concert is very close by, and we'd like to go... Is that alright?"

Seeing his crew members holding light sticks and covered in Brook's logo, he suddenly felt like he was being NTR'd in front of him, and some strange thoughts began to arise...
