But~~~

[A huge thank you again to the generous user 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch'! This morning around 8 AM, they gave me yet another donation, countless times. I'm truly grateful for their support!!!]

918 [Clone Hammer]!! Link and Uta in the real world!! He'll come!!

"But your singing is the only one that can bring joy to everyone in this world..."

Shanks looked at Uta with a smile and said this.

"What do you mean?!" Little Uta's big eyes showed great confusion.

“I’m saying you can stay here.”

Shanks crouched down and said to her, "When you become the world's greatest singer, I will come back for you."

"???"

Uta was taken aback at first, then immediately realized what was happening:

"Fool!! I'm the songstress of the Red-Haired Pirates!!"

Uta strongly resisted: "If studying music means I have to separate from you all, if I have to separate from you all..."

By the end, he was almost sobbing.

"I see. I understand~"

"960"

Upon seeing this, Shanks immediately rushed forward in a flurry of activity:

"Yes, okay, I understand. Let's leave here tomorrow!"

He pulled Uta into his arms and gently hugged her to comfort her.

Originally, everything seemed calm and normal, without any unexpected events.

But who knew, on that very night...

Boom~! !

The fire consumed the entire island of Alicia, and when Uta awoke, all that remained was a sea of ​​fire and ruins.

The only person who appeared before her was Gordon, the former king of Alicia.

Everything else was completely destroyed.

When she sought answers from Gordon, what she received was:

"Their plan is to use your singing to get close to Alicia and then steal our treasure."

"You've been deceived by the Red-Haired Pirates and Shanks all along!!"

The final result was that news of the destruction of Alicia's Island of Music spread throughout the world.

The mastermind behind it all was none other than Shanks of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Uta didn't care about any of that, whether Alicia was destroyed or the island's inhabitants were killed.

All she cared about was that Shanks and his crew had abandoned her here.

"What a joke!!"

When Luffy heard this, he instantly exploded:

"You should know perfectly well, would Shanks really do something like this?! You know the answer in your heart!!"

"Then what have I been for the past ten years?!"

Uta was equally agitated: "Luffy, to Shanks, you're nothing more than a tool!!"

"Shanks will come!!"

Luffy said with unwavering determination.

"Will they come? To save you?"

"It's to save you!!"

"Save me? Why?!"

"Because his daughter is doing this kind of thing, Shanks definitely won't accept it!!"

Luffy's expression was resolute, his eyes unwavering as he glared intently at Uta!

A few moments passed just like that.

"He abandoned me..."

Uta's hair tie slowly fell down. "He will definitely not come."

Meanwhile, in the real world outside...

Uta knelt beside Luffy, stroking Luffy's sleeping face, her expression filled with indescribable complexity and sorrow.

"Never mind, Luffy~~~"

Uta placed the straw hat on Luffy's chest, and then slowly took out a dagger.

"goodbye……"

She gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, raised it high, and then swiftly plunged it down towards Luffy's heart!

However, it was at this moment that...

"He will come."

pat.

A strong hand instantly grasped Uta's hands.

This caused the dagger she was holding to freeze in mid-air, unable to fall.

“How could this happen?!!”

Uta raised his head, and then his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"How did you end up here?!"

"Why can't I be here?"

Link, who was standing in front of Uta, smiled and asked her a question while holding her in one hand.

"Weren't you clearly pulled into the world of singing? How could this be..."

"If you can get out, why can't I?"

Link chuckled, "Don't forget, in that dream world, I had almost the same level of access as you..."

With the [Dream Ladder], he can travel between the two worlds at any time.

As for staying in that world with Luffy, Jinbe, and Usopp...

With a good tool, this can be easily achieved.

Link's consciousness swept over the small pink hammer in the four-dimensional pocket and he nodded in satisfaction.

Item: [Clone Hammer].

Description: Simply hit yourself on the head with a hammer, and a clone with strong ideas in certain areas will appear, taking your place to do that thing.

For example, Nobita wants to go play with Shizuka, but he still has a lot of homework to finish.

So he used this "clone hammer" to create a clone of himself that wanted to do his homework.

Of course, the clones created will display different colors depending on the intensity of their own desires.

For example, Nobita's desire to do his homework is very weak, so the clones he creates are very light in color.

By tapping the clone again, it can be returned to its original body.

Therefore, Link simply tapped himself lightly, leaving behind a clone in that dream world to help Luffy and the others.

The main body, on the other hand, came to the outside in person to guard against any unforeseen circumstances.

In retrospect, this idea was indeed prescient.

3.4 However, when his words reached Uta's ears...

Same permissions...

Uta then realized that in that world, the man before her possessed abilities to control the world almost as powerfully as she did!

So, it's somewhat understandable that he emerged from that world.

"What are you doing out here? Are you trying to stop me, or to defeat me in the real world?"

A mocking smile appeared on Uta's face.

[A huge thank you again to the generous user 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch'! This morning, around 6 or 7 AM, they gave me countless donations. I'm truly grateful for their support!!!]

919 Abandoning his wife and children—what utterly despicable behavior! Shanks, take responsibility!!

"It's no use. Even if you kill me now, those people I've pulled into the world of song won't be able to escape either."

"On the contrary, they will be trapped there forever, never able to break free!!"

"Yes, I know that."

Link simply nodded calmly at what Uta had said, without the slightest surprise.

“I have no such intention, and I am not interested in your life.”

"Then why..."

Uta paused for a moment, then asked instinctively.

"Since this is your family matter, I think it's best to leave it to you to handle internally."

"Of course, if necessary, my partners and I will not stand idly by."

Link said with a smile, and as he spoke...

Behind him, Brook, Aokiji, Robin, Nami, Zoro, and others all opened their eyes one after another.

Using the [Dream Ladder], they successfully broke free from that dream world!

"My abilities don't work on you, do they...?"

Uta watched this scene with indescribable complex emotions.

"You just mentioned family matters..."

She was very perceptive and noticed this particular word choice.

"Well, in the end, I do share some of the same views as you."

Link took the dagger from Uta's hand, then stood up and said, "Shanks bears an undeniable responsibility for what happened today."

"Therefore, I can understand your hatred for Shanks."

"And, deep in my heart, the longing for Shanks."

Although Uta doesn't have a good impression of Shanks now because he abandoned her, it's undeniable that she listened to what Shanks told her on Alicia's island.

Shanks claims that her singing can bring hope and happiness to people.

This is why, because Uta subconsciously believed in Shanks and trusted him greatly, she genuinely believed she could bring joy to everyone when Shanks said she could.

Then, he put his Devil Fruit powers into practice.

That's why the world is in its current state.

In Link's opinion, Shanks and the Red-Haired Pirates are at least 90% responsible for all of this.

Regardless of the reasons before, Uta was, after all, their family, and the daughter he had chosen as his daughter.

As a result, simply because of the [Tot Music] matter, Uta was handed over to Gordon without any consideration for her opinion, and she was abandoned.

Yes, it's nominally for Uta's good, but in reality, it's doing the cruelest things.

This completely contradicts their consistent beliefs about getting along with their companions.

More importantly, Shanks never once came to see Uta during the ten years she grew up alone.
