Pirates: My crew is the heroine of the 3D zone

This will allow her to completely release the anxiety that has accumulated over the past few days.

Chapter 632: Uta

Uta initially spread her infectious singing voice through video Den Den Mushi (snail phone) in a world where entertainment was generally scarce, bringing a glimmer of hope to ordinary people living in this cannibalistic world.

Like a ray of sunshine just rising in the morning, though weak, it is enough to ignite the hope of survival in those who can no longer hold on.

As her fame spread, talent agencies approached her to sign contracts and release her records and albums worldwide.

Her fame grew ever greater, and she quickly became the most well-known songstress in the current pirate era.

With such talent, Uta's songs naturally became popular on the Lexington, becoming the girls' favorite music to listen to on a daily basis.

Unfortunately, this popular singer never held a concert and never actually appeared in front of her fans.

Since Uta isn't showing up in front of her fans, the fans have no choice but to go looking for her themselves.

After several days of sailing, we successfully arrived at our destination – Eregia.

An island that was once world-renowned for its music and hailed as a musical treasure.

This place has nurtured countless musicians and is a sacred place in the hearts of countless musicians.

But now, Eregia is nothing more than a desolate island, its houses dilapidated, weathered, and covered in moss and vines, devoid of any sign of life.

"This place is so desolate."

The moment Laura set foot on the island, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Judging from the signs here, no one has lived here for at least ten years."

“Legend has it that the Red-Haired Pirates destroyed this place,” Ada Wong kicked aside the wooden crates scattered on the ground in front of her. “They destroyed the country, but left their daughter here. Doesn’t that seem contradictory? Or is Morgans’ information wrong?”

"Perhaps there's some other reason," Chen Yong'an said, knowing the reason. Mei, have you thought about it...?

"There's someone at eleven o'clock, 1300 meters away from us," 2B said. "Shall we go check it out?"

"Let's go," Chen Yong'an said.

“The angel and I will stay here to watch the ship,” Ada Wong, who hadn’t disembarked, waved to the others. Neither of them had much interest in being a songstress.

So everyone except Ida Wong and the angels stepped into this uninhabited city, which had become a paradise for plants and small animals.

Proceed in the direction indicated by 2b.

After walking through several dilapidated streets that had once been bustling, a melodious song drifted from ahead.

There's no catchy rhythm, just pure vocals, but it's undeniably Uta's voice.

For Chen Yong'an, who had listened to Uta's songs countless times, Uta's voice was extremely familiar.

"It's Uta!"

Mai Shiranui and D.Va exchanged a glance and rushed out like star-struck girls.

"Be careful," Chen Yong'an shouted, and followed the others.

When Chen Yong'an arrived at the garden terrace where they were, Mai Shiranui, D.Va, and Uta were already chatting happily.

They were as familiar as long-lost best friends.

Compared to the stylish Uta who appeared on the album cover, Uta now looks so ordinary.

He wore a black oversized sweater that concealed his figure, and slightly faded capri pants; his attire was quite ordinary.

Apart from her signature red and white hair, she doesn't have any of the feel of a popular singer today.

She was just an ordinary, energetic young girl.

If you just ignore her background and the stories behind her.

While chatting with Mai Shiranui and the others, Uta noticed Chen Yong'an's gaze, and gave him a bright smile and a friendly wave.

Like the friendly attitude that celebrities show when dealing with their fans.

Chen Yong'an waved to her. In today's world, it's rare to find a girl who treats him like an ordinary person.

Perhaps only someone like Uta, who is basically isolated from the world and doesn't care about current events, could maintain this attitude.

Then, the other girls besides 2B and Hancock also gathered around, turning it into a small fan meeting.

2b has no interest in Uta whatsoever; she only cares about two things: the eternal glory of humanity and fine wine.

Hancock, on the other hand, completely looked down on Uta. For her, beauty was everything, and using singing to make herself popular was too unorthodox.

If you're a woman, you should honestly use your beauty to win!

So Chen Yong'an, along with 2B and Hancock, leaned against the railing not far away, silently watching the desolate and ruined scenery of the town below.

After a while, Chen Yong'an's clothes were tugged.

Hello~

"Hello," Chen Yong'an turned to look at the smiling Uta, "Is the fan meeting over?"

"Hmm, they said you came to see me about something, but I don't think you came because of my music, right? Or do you want to have a so-called photoshoot with me?"

Uta was so startled by her idea that she covered her mouth in surprise, then took a half step back, crossed her arms, and refused with utmost seriousness, "I absolutely will not agree to this! If this is what you came for, please leave!"

"Why do you think I'm here to have my photos taken?" Chen Yong'an asked.

"Because someone came to see me not long ago, and just like you, he brought a group of girls with him."

"Then I think you've misunderstood. Although I often take photos of my lover, I never share them with the public. I only keep them as private keepsakes."

"Really?" Uta's guard had lowered considerably, or rather, she hadn't been on guard at all from the start.

Uta is a very confident girl, whether it's her singing or anything else.

“I’m here for something else,” Chen Yong’an gave 2B and Hancock a look, signaling them to step back and give him and Uta some space to talk.

After all, Hancock's gaze wasn't exactly friendly.

As for asking 2b to move away a bit, it was purely for the purpose of maintaining a balance.

Hancock, however, might have some strange inner monologue that caused her to embarrass herself in front of Uta.

2B understood and pulled the somewhat reluctant Hancock aside.

"What's the matter?" Uta asked.

"I want you to do things for me and bring out your infectious singing voice."

"Make me your artist?" Uta frowned. "I already have a signed agency."

"Hmm... how should I put it, you probably don't know who I am, right?"

“I don’t know,” Uta shook his head.

"Have you ever heard of the nickname 'Sun God'?"

Uta's blank expression gradually turned into shock as she stared at Chen Yong'an in disbelief, saying, "Could it be..."

"It's me. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Chen Yong'an, a man who opposes the world government and is changing this cannibalistic world."

Uta looked at Chen Yong'an's outstretched hand and then carefully shook it.

Chapter 633: Uta, Naïve and Unaware of the World

At the end of the staircase, which overlooks most of the island, Chen Yong'an and Uta sat together, about half a body length apart.

“I’ve heard of you,” Uta said, brushing aside her hair that had been ruffled by the sea breeze, her straight, youthful legs stretched out and together.

"When I was doing a live broadcast via video Den Den Mushi before, my fans mentioned you, saying that you are the person who can end the Great Pirate Era and bring happiness to the world."

Uta wasn't someone who deliberately kept up with current events, and given that Eregia was a very lonely island, her only way of understanding the outside world was through live broadcasts via video denial-of-sight mushi (snail phone) where fans would spontaneously mention things. "Mei, are you free? Lin, are you available? Are you...?"

"Hmm... I can't let them down."

"But there are also many who hate you, saying that you deliberately started wars, made the world more chaotic, and are a complete madman."

"It's normal for opinions to be mixed."

Chen Yong'an doesn't care too much about other people's opinions of him; as long as he knows and firmly walks on the right path, that's enough for him.

“I don’t like war,” Uta said, hugging his knees and burying his face in his arms. “It brings despair, pain, and suffering… just like pirates.”

Uta hates pirates, she hates them so much.

Destroying another's country, plundering another's wealth, or even taking away another's family and friends is intolerable.

Therefore, Uta's feelings towards Chen Yong'an are complicated. Different opinions from others make it difficult for Uta to distinguish whether Chen Yong'an is a good person or a heinous villain like a pirate.

But at least from the outside, it's clear that Uta doesn't dislike Chen Yong'an.

After all, Chen Yong'an was the only young and handsome woman that Wuta had come into contact with over the years.

“I don’t like war either,” Chen Yong’an said, looking at the ruined town in front of him, “but the World Government doesn’t want me to live, and I have no choice but to resist.”

“There will be,” Uta affirmed. “There will definitely be a peaceful solution, definitely.”

Chen Yong'an turned his head to look at the innocent yet stubborn girl who had grown up in an ivory tower, and said, "Do you know what 'ideological struggle' is?"

"what?"

The unfamiliar words startled Uta.

"Simply put, most of the disputes in this world stem from differences in ideology. Some people claim to be descendants of God, and are so selfish that they regard everyone else as ants and want to trample everyone under their feet."

Some people believe that everyone is equal, and there is no such thing as high or low status.

Do you think people with such diametrically opposed ideologies can live normally on the same land?

“Of course!” Uta retorted vehemently. “As long as they can live a happy life without any worries and have enough food, all disputes will naturally disappear!”

"Don't you think those so-called Celestial Dragons are happy enough? They can kill whoever they want, and take whatever they like. No one dares to disobey their orders. These bastards are a million times more disgusting than any pirate you've ever seen. Do you think these bastards will obediently give up their privileges and become like us?"

No, no one is willing to give up their godlike privileges. The only way to achieve peace and happiness is to trample Mary Geoise, kill them all, and spare no one.

Chen Yong'an's brutal words made Uta's pupils tremble. He then shook his head desperately, saying, "There must be other ways! Without bloodshed and sacrifice..."

"For example?"

Uta bit her lip tightly, not answering Chen Yong'an's question, but she was silently plotting something in her heart.

Seeing Uta like this, Chen Yong'an roughly knew what she was thinking—to activate her [Song-Song Fruit] ability, to pull everyone's spirits into her song world, and create a utopia where everyone is equal.

At the cost of her own life.

Chen Yong'an stared at Uta's face for a while, then his tone softened as he said, "You haven't really been exposed to or learned about anything other than music, have you?"

“No,” Uta shook her head; music was her everything.

"Why don't you come aboard my ship, read a few books, and learn about things other than music? For example... humanity."

Chen Yong'an did not try to persuade Uta again; Uta's ideas were too naive and childish.

Instead of painstakingly persuading Uta, it would be better to let Uta learn more about the world, broaden her horizons, and help and guide her, who has always lived on an isolated island, to establish correct values.

Chen Yong'an didn't want to see a girl who got stuck in a rut, took one wrong step and went down a wrong path, ultimately losing her life to an extreme girl.

"human nature?"

“Hmm,” Chen Yong’an stood up and led Uta toward the port where the Lexington was docked.

"Complex social relationships and emotions constitute the complexity and multifaceted nature of humanity, which cannot be summarized in a few words. Fortunately, there are books that are responsible for inheritance and recording, allowing you to understand the beauty and ugliness of human nature through their words, even if you have never experienced it."

In short, whatever you want to do, I suggest you learn and understand more first, rather than rushing in headfirst and ending up badly hurt.

"You're so long-winded," Uta couldn't help but complain. "Do you usually like to lecture others?"

"This isn't a lecture, it's advice, but I still hope you can listen and not be too stubborn."

Uta remained silent, kicking her legs as she followed behind Chen Yong'an, childishly stepping on Chen Yong'an's shadow.

Back on the Lexington, only Ada Wong, Angel, and Lexington remained on board; the others had not yet returned.

While Chen Yong'an and Wuta were chatting, the others took photos and checked off their spots everywhere, capturing the scenery of the city and leaving traces of their visit.

Even Hancock is no exception; proud of her beauty, she loves taking photos more than anyone else.

"You managed to bring him back so quickly?"

Ada Wong looked Uta, who was dressed simply and following behind Chen Yong'an, up and down. "She looks pretty average, not nearly as good as she does on the album cover."

“She came here with me to study,” Chen Yong’an explained. “If you’re so free, why don’t you find some books for her to read?”

"what book?"

"The best thing to help her understand the world better is books about human nature."
