Pirate: My Piltover technology is far ahead!

Chapter 437 The Truth of That Year

Are you ready?

"If I'm saying this, then of course I've made thorough preparations. We've made some small breakthroughs in the power source issue, and with a new energy core, what I have is now ready to operate."

If everything's okay on your end, let's proceed simultaneously.

"Although I'm almost ready, there are still some problems with the live streaming equipment. I haven't figured out how to prevent the World Government from interrupting the live stream yet."

Even if we borrow your concert livestream, the world government will take immediate action once they discover the flaws.

"Don't worry about that. I have a more secure method than live streaming, one that can't be cut off by conventional means. But I need to confirm one thing: all those mother sparks you created, are they all still there?"

The Mother Flame, the Holy Mother's Flame, the Undying Flame—these names all refer to the same thing: something Vegapunk researched in order to bring "endless energy" to the world.

This stuff is also a raw material that can power ancient weapons. Oran's new energy source has also absorbed some of the Mother Flame. After Oran's upgrade and modification, the energy core in Oran's hands can play a greater role.

Although the World Government possesses the Ancient Weapon Uranus, it originally belonged to Joy Boy. After becoming the victor, the World Government obtained Uranus but failed to master the method of producing its energy.

This means that Uranus is essentially useless to the World Government. As long as Vegapunk doesn't lose the Mother Spark, the World Government has no chance of activating Uranus.

"Apart from the part you secretly took away, my experimental records show that nothing was lost. These are all records I made myself."

"That's good. By the way, didn't you take your clone to Mary Geoise?"

"How did you know I was going to Mary Geoise soon? I actually do have that plan. Is there a problem?"

"No, it's just that one of your clones is a collection of desires. Without the suppression of other personalities, do you think your desires can withstand the decadent and intoxicating atmosphere there?"

York from the original timeline went to Mary Geoise with Vegapunk's original self and was attracted by the life of the Celestial Dragons there. He wanted to become a Celestial Dragon and destroy Vegapunk's original self to become the only Vegapunk in the world.

York stole a portion of the Mother Spark and handed it over to the World Government, which triggered the subsequent Egerhard incident.

York hasn't been there yet, so theoretically there shouldn't be any problem.

The power of the Heavenly King should not be underestimated; it is still necessary to ascertain the details of that thing.

"I know you don't like doing things you're not sure about, and I believe you must have your own preparations for daring to take action at this time, but I'm still very curious about what method you chose. Haven't you been planning a concert lately?"

"You'll see when the time comes. Remember not to miss the concert; I've prepared a special venue for you. Make sure you find a completely safe place to watch the live stream, or it could be dangerous."

After saying this, Oran's voice completely disappeared from Vegapunk's mind. Vegapunk pondered for a moment, and then went to a special room.

"Your real body? What are you doing here?"

Inside the room was a tall man wearing a mask with the 01 logo. He was Vegapunk's first clone, Shakya, representing Vegapunk's integrity.

"There's been some new information. How is the Seraphim?"

"It's still in the testing phase, and so far there don't seem to be any problems."

There are six petri dishes in front of Shakyamuni. If you look closely, five of them are exactly the childhood versions of Boa Hancock, Hawkeye, Moria, Crocodile, and Blackbeard.

There is another one that is somewhat similar to the white beard, but with significant differences. This one was made using Webull as a template, and therefore it is somewhat unique.

All six of them share one characteristic: they all have a pair of black wings on their backs.

This is the product of combining the genes of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Lunar race, Seraph, and also the most powerful technological creation in Vegapunk's hands.

"Prepare to deploy them. We are about to face a war far more terrifying than the Marineford War."

Vegapunk, as one of the few who knew the inside story, seemed more worried, but ordinary people didn't see it that way. In their eyes, it was just a grand concert.

Night and dawn coexist on one planet, and the people living here do the same work.

"Is this position okay? Would you like it a little higher?"

"No need, this position is just right. Let's move a little to the left; the view should be better that way."

In the Western Sea, in the Land of Flowers, several members of the Eight Treasures Water Army were setting up a temporary live broadcast stage. After adjusting the loudspeaker and the viewing angle of the video Den Den Mushi, they began to test the equipment's operation.

"The Green Pepper leader is very concerned about this matter, so everyone be careful!"

"Don't worry, but bro, why isn't the Green Pepper leader going to the scene?"

"It's all because his grandson ran away from the wedding at this time. The leader of Green Pepper is currently apologizing to the leader of Erbao's navy and can't get away for the time being."

Turning the Eight Treasures Navy into the Ten Treasures Navy was also Qingjiao's dream. Therefore, not long ago, Qingjiao's grandson Cai Yi and Huo Lisha, the daughter of Dongliang of the Second Treasures Navy, got engaged.

However, Huo Lisha not only did not meet Lao Cai's aesthetic standards, but she was also a ruthless woman with 25 husbands. Faced with the hell of marriage, Lao Cai finally chose to run away.

"Forget it, that's Dongliang's family matter, it has nothing to do with us. Let's focus on doing our own thing."

Similar situations are not limited to the Flower Kingdom; Alabasta, the Drum Kingdom, and Fishman Island are all doing the same thing, albeit with slight differences in the details.

Besides genuine fans, there were also some online fans brought along by friends and family, as well as disgruntled haters.

Those who were capable went to the main venue near Piltover, while those who were less capable went to the nearest live broadcast venue. Some people simply brought out tools like Den Den Mushi (snail phone) and radios to join in the fun.

At 9:00 AM Piltover time, a few hours before the concert started, Mary Geoise, halfway across the Grand Line, was also entering its late night.

The venue for this event is not on Raab's back, but a multi-layered floating island made of island clouds. The main venue can accommodate 400,000 spectators, and other areas of the island can accommodate even more people.

Zephyr and Kuzan, who were on vacation, also arrived here. Before the concert started, they were strolling around this floating island. But as they strolled around, Zephyr felt that something was wrong.

"Yekrik, look at that tower, what do you think?"

"Hmm, the view isn't very good. If you're watching the concert from there, the light poles will probably block your view."

"That's not what I meant, Kuzan. What do you think?"

"Nice angle; it would be very comfortable for a nap."

"."

Zefa was dissatisfied with the answers given by his son and his students. From the perspective of the concert, both of their answers were correct, but Zefa was asking questions from a different angle.

"Don't you think that's a perfect position for an artillery emplacement? Set up a heavy cannon there, plus a squad's worth of firepower, and you can lock down the streets below."

"Dad, you're overthinking it. Isn't this a concert that Uncle Oran prepared for his daughter? How did it turn into a tirade in your eyes?"

Zefa's training camp produces generals who, in addition to being good fighters, must also be good commanders. Artillery may not be effective against strong opponents, but it still has considerable deterrent power on the battlefield.

Jeklik and Kuzan weren't oblivious; they simply hadn't considered such a question. They never imagined that Zefa would make such a connection in this situation.

A person rushes into a public restroom; you can't assume he's going to eat just because it's mealtime.

"That's true, but compared to a concert venue, this place looks more like a war fortress to me."

Zefa recalled the streets he had walked through and mentally sketched a map, becoming increasingly convinced that his idea was correct.

With a few minor replacements to the searchlights and loudspeakers, and the staff replaced with soldiers, the transformation can be completed.

The original text can be found at 6#9@book/bar!

"Professor Zephyr, it seems you're under even more pressure than I am. There's a free bar over there, let's go check it out."

Zefa didn't object to the suggestion. It was strange, but Zefa was only considering it from his own perspective and didn't think much beyond that.

Time ticked by, and an hour before the concert was scheduled to begin, Brooke appeared on stage first to start warming up for the show.

Most of the people who came to the venue were Uta's fans, but Brook's influence in the entertainment industry was quite outstanding. Not long after Brook appeared, cheers of "King of Souls" rang out from one after another.

"Yohohoho! Thank you all for your support, but I'm not the main character today. With the entertainment over, let's welcome today's star, Princess Uta!"

Bang!Bang!Bang!

A series of cannon salutes rang out around the stage. Under the cover of ribbons and smoke, Brooke made her exit smoothly, and a soft singing voice spread throughout the venue and was transmitted to all parts of the world through the surrounding equipment.

The night sky was filled with twinkling stars, and crystals piled up to form a towering mountain, with the shape of Uta reflected on the cross-section of each crystal.

"That's strange, how did it suddenly get dark? Wasn't it just noon a moment ago?"

"Who cares? It's probably Piltover's new technology. I heard they have some kind of projection technology, and the sky above us might be a giant screen."

The change in environment made some people notice something was wrong, but no one took it to heart. It's normal to have some entertainment at a concert, and Brooke has shown similar things in her previous performances.

Even people like Kuzan and Zephyr didn't realize that they had entered the world of the Song-Song Fruit.

In the real world, everyone on the floating island had fallen asleep, but they were unaware that they had entered a dream world.

Similar things happen all over the world, with people falling asleep to the sound of the song, lying in all sorts of positions and locations.

Even the citizens of Piltover themselves have not escaped the effects of this outcome; today, only a small minority of Piltover residents remain conscious.

Uta herself was also multitasking. While she was holding a concert in the song world, her real body was sitting next to Oran, with a bunch of data cables connected to her body to monitor her physical condition.

"Uta, are you ready?"

"Ready, Papa Oran, we can begin assimilation at any time."

All those around the world affected by Uta's power have been pulled into the Song World, but they are unaware of this. Their surroundings remain unchanged, still in their original places.

Once Uta activates his abilities further, the situation could change.

"Let's begin."

"Um."

Those at the main venue in Piltover didn't feel anything, but those who hadn't come to the concert suddenly found themselves in a vast open field.

"What's going on? Where am I?!"

"Weren't we at a concert? How did we end up here?"

"The singing is still going on, or is it just an illusion?"

Discussions rose and fell, and countless people were still confused about what had happened.

"Hello everyone, I'm Uta. Many of you are meeting me for the first time. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."

I know you may have some questions about the current situation, so I apologize in advance. But don't worry, this will not hurt you.

Now, please let my father explain the origin of all this to you.

The clouds in the sky began to churn, as if a giant book was turning its pages. The assimilation that Uta just mentioned refers to Oran using his Book-Book Fruit ability to integrate into the Song World and take control of its development and changes.

The Book-Book Fruit provides a more comprehensive understanding of the changes in the Book World, while the Song-Song Fruit can spread to a wider range. Only by combining the two can this effect be achieved.

Using one's abilities to target the entire world is quite costly, and it would be unwise to rely on Uta for it all. That's why those devices exist; if any unexpected situation arises, Oran will immediately terminate Uta's abilities.

But everything changed after Oran took over.

The surrounding environment began to change. Two tall mountains appeared in the center of the island at some unknown time, and the island was surrounded by a large number of warships.

Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw someone swing a knife at them. The blade was so close that they didn't have time to react, but the blade that grazed their bodies didn't cause any harm.

For these people, it was just an immersive 3D movie.

"Do you have doubts? Perhaps some people think this is fake, but I want to tell you that this is a bloody fact, a massacre that happened 37 years ago."

Many people come from the Western Sea. You can ask the older people around you if they remember a place in the Western Sea called the Valley of the Gods.
