The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

Such incidents and disturbances were nothing to him.

“Akainu is a superior I respect and am willing to obey orders from…”

Green Bull, with a sidelong glance and a sour face, looked at Yi with an annoyed smile and said:

"I'll do whatever he tells me to do, what's it to you?!"

Well, his tone, posture, and expression made him look particularly irritating.

"That's right, you're nothing more than a bunch of pirates..."

Gradually, the surrounding marines began to gather around: "Do we marines need to report and explain our operations to a bunch of filthy, despicable pirates?!"

Some staunch supporters of radical hawks even loudly rebuked and scolded Yixiao there.

And many of his colleagues looked at this group with hostility and vigilance, while setting up their guns and cannons first.

"So this is what they call the Navy?!"

Observing the actions of these navy personnel, their seemingly genuine words, and their resolute demeanor and gaze, Yixiao understood the current state of the navy.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath. "As expected, the Navy is completely different from what I imagined..."

The navy today is basically dominated by radicals.

Those naval personnel who still held onto a sense of justice during the previous wave of communism would certainly not be able to adapt to the current environment of 963.

They either choose to leave, or they choose to join the radicals and continue their cause of justice.

Unless they are corrupt navy personnel with other dark thoughts in their hearts who don't care about justice at all.

Or perhaps, like Kizaru, one's sense of justice is ambiguous, and one treats it more as a job.

Therefore, the navy now basically consists only of radicals.

In particular, the current Fleet Admiral who commands the Navy, the man standing at the pinnacle of all the Navy, is an even more radical hawkish leader than anyone else, [Akainu] Sakazuki.

As for Aramaki, the newly recruited admiral of the Navy, he already had great faith in Sakazuki's ideals and conduct, so it goes without saying that he was even more convinced of Sakazuki's beliefs.

Among the high-ranking officers of the Navy Headquarters, the Fleet Admiral and the Admirals are radicals, while the other Admirals are slackers.

As a result, this trend spread and influenced those below, and now the navy basically doesn't hear the voices of other factions.

924 Ancient sheet music for a piece of music with extraordinary power! I don't have the courage to unleash that power~

Even dove-like generals like Huoshaoshan and Squirrel were forced to fulfill their military duty and carry out orders they didn't quite agree with under their leadership.

However, this would completely change the navy's orders and operating style.

Compared to the previous navy, it seemed quite unfamiliar.

Therefore, when this behavior came to Yi Xiao's attention...

He naturally began to get angry.

When that army, which prides itself on being the champion of justice, begins to disregard the lives of ordinary people and point its guns at them in order to eradicate so-called evil...

In Yixiao's eyes, they were no longer worthy of being in the navy or bearing the name of justice.

So……

"To stop you, this old man must do something!!"

Clang!

With a smile, he slowly drew the staff-sword from his waist, then instantly drew a purple circle of light and soared into the sky!

"Hey, hey, hey!! You bastard..."

Realizing what was happening, Green Bull Wild Shepherd's expression changed drastically upon seeing this scene.

"Are you kidding me? You're actually serious?!"

And just as he finished speaking, before anyone present could react to the matter...

Suddenly, in the sky above.

Burning meteorites, like falling stars, rained down upon this place!

"More than one?!"

His expression turned quite grim again, not only because his inner thoughts had been confirmed.

More importantly, this time, Issho summoned more than one meteorite using his Devil Fruit ability!!

And what made his heart sink even further was...

"Are all the targets our warships?! 々～ !"

Yi Xiao's intention was also very clear: the meteorites he summoned would not fall on the island and harm the people who were still in a dream.

However, it will inflict a devastating blow on you navy ships that have come here!

"You bastard, when you get ruthless, you can be ruthless enough!!"

Green Bull Wild Shepherd really wanted to give Yi Xiao the middle finger, but the situation forced him to quickly retreat towards the coast to intercept and block the falling meteorites.

After all, they still need to navigate these ships back to headquarters!

Whoosh! !

He transformed into a giant vine branch and surged rapidly toward the shore.

Even Kizaru, standing to the side, didn't hesitate. He transformed into countless points of light and shot towards the direction of the meteorites.

Neither Issho nor Shanks offered any resistance, letting them leave as they pleased.

The departure of this group of naval personnel from this area was actually a good thing for both sides to pursue their private businesses.

"Being able to summon meteorites is truly an incredible ability..."

Shanks watched with a look of amazement. Such a wide-range AOE skill could be a deadly weapon on certain battlefields.

"To be praised by one of the Four Emperors is an immense honor for me..."

With a smile, he slowly sheathed his sword. His already bad mood made him unwilling to exchange pleasantries with anyone else. Instead, he turned to look at a girl who was almost ignored by everyone else.

"But compared to this old man, shouldn't this young lady be receiving more attention right now?"

"You're right..."

Shanks' expression immediately returned to normal. He sighed softly and looked at Uta, whose expression was one of disbelief and gradually trending towards madness.

"Why? Why would the Navy do this? Why are they trying to stop the arrival of a new era..."

She muttered to herself there, though no one had died in front of her because of it, she could imagine it.

If those unconscious masses had actually obeyed her orders and gotten up, they would have been turned into corpses in the naval barrage just now.

The thought of this filled Uta with lingering fear and dread, which gradually transformed into her current state of incomprehension and madness.

"She must have eaten the Sleepless Mushroom~"

Link knew how Uta was doing just by glancing at her current state.

"If you eat those mushrooms, not only will you have trouble sleeping, but your emotions will also gradually become uncontrollable and lead to a breakdown, eventually causing you to go crazy."

Well, Uta seems to be on the verge of a breakdown and going crazy right now.

"I knew it! I should have dealt with you bad guys first..."

Uta slowly raised her arms, and her tone suddenly became normal.

But the moment she becomes normal, it's actually the most abnormal thing about her!

“I just haven’t had the courage… the courage to unleash that power…”

"but!!"

Her tone suddenly became firm, clearly the navy's actions and provocations had solidified her resolve to make a decision she had previously hesitated to make:

"I'm not going to dwell on it anymore!!"

Suddenly, a musical score popped out from behind her hair tie.

On it, there seemed to be an ancient score containing some kind of music with strange power.

The moment the ancient score was taken out, it transformed into a purple light that surrounded Uta.

At the same time, Uta slowly opened his mouth, as if to sing the melody (No Wang Hao) from the ancient score.

But it was at this very moment...

A peculiar microphone appeared in front of Uta.

"this is?"

Those who had previously seen Uta's appearance and assumed she was about to make a big move, and thus prepared to stand up for her and stop her, were all taken aback by this scene.

Then, they all looked at Link, who had taken out the microphone prop.

"With a microphone like this, her singing voice will no longer be able to be heard."

Meeting the curious and inquisitive gazes of the crowd, Link smiled and said, "Cai."

925 [Silenced Microphone]! Summoning the Demon King?! Dangerous, mysterious, and intriguing!!

Prop: [Mute microphone].

Description: Only the person singing can hear their own voice; no one else can hear it at all.

After giving a brief explanation, Link turned his attention to Uta, whose lips were moving as if she were singing loudly.

"With this [silencing microphone], her Devil Fruit ability will no longer affect us, but..."

"If I'm not mistaken, she should be summoning [Tot Music] right now, right?"

When Link uttered the name "Tot Music," everyone's expression turned serious.

This is the ancient demon king that is awakened when the user of the Sing-Sing Fruit sings that special song!

"Should we stop her?!"

Nami, standing behind Link, asked nervously, while the others stared intently at Uta, whose black aura was spreading around him and whose face was gradually turning crazed.

They were just waiting for Link's order, and then they would swarm him and take him down.

"No, let's wait until she summons that thing."

Link shook his head slightly. "I tested it out before. Normally, as long as Uta is made to fall unconscious, all the trapped people can break free from that singing world."

"But she had eaten the Sleepless Mushroom, so a normal coma couldn't neutralize her power."

"So the final solution to get out of this predicament still lies with [Tot Music]."

Only by launching a pincer attack from both the real world and the singing world can we have the opportunity to break down the barriers between the two worlds.

"Is this so..."

Although everyone was wary of [Tot·Music], who was gradually revealing his form and exuding a terrifying aura.

However, no one had any doubts about Link's words; they had complete trust in him!

"What do we do, boss?"

Across from them, Lucky Roux, a member of the Red-Haired Pirates, walked up to Shanks, a large piece of meat dangling from his mouth, and asked in a low voice.

"Should we intervene to stop Uta?"

"No, let's do as that young man says."

Shanks, on the other hand, took it all in stride, displaying decisiveness and magnanimity. He didn't say much, but simply lowered his sword.

"His viewpoint is probably not wrong!!"

Seeing that their leader had made a decision, the group behind him said nothing more and remained silent, on guard.

At the same time, they also looked across at the other side with a slight curiosity, focusing their attention on Link.

The Straw Hat Pirates' vice-captain, known by the title "Tool Master," was someone whose name they had long heard of.
