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

It was when Luffy and his crew first put up their bounties that this name came into their view.

At the time, they were all overjoyed that little Luffy had finally set sail, embarked on his own adventure, and even formed his own pirate crew.

However, while they were overjoyed, they were also looking for some fun and were determined to see which unlucky guy would become Luffy's vice-captain!

Well, these guys who enjoy themselves know Luffy's personality very well. Being the vice-captain of this unreliable guy like Luffy must be quite a tough job.

Subsequently, under their watchful eyes, the Straw Hat Pirates, with Luffy and Link as captain and vice-captain respectively, became increasingly renowned.

In this world, one after another, many major events have occurred.

Their reputation reached its peak after the battle at Marineford during the Marine Headquarters war!

Moreover, carrying the world's attention and immense prestige, it entered the New World in one fell swoop.

He destroyed the Donquixote Family, then arrived in Wano Country, wiped out the Beasts Pirates, and also took over the Big Mom Pirates.

Thus, in one battle, two of the Four Emperors and their organizations were wiped out.

Before they could even react, the Straw Hat Pirates seemed to have completed their growth and development, directly becoming one of the world's top, or even the strongest, pirate crews!

This greatly surprised everyone, and also made them deeply concerned about the Straw Hat Pirates.

Luffy alone could never have led the pirate crew to this point in just one year.

Therefore, the only person who could achieve this, and thus the greatest contributor to the Straw Hat Pirates, is...

"This man?!"

Ben Beckman, a cigar dangling from his lips, squinted at Link, who stood calmly awaiting the Uta operation.

This mysterious man, who possesses many magical items, remains unknown to this day regarding his origins and past.

No one knows where his props came from.

But this man, whether it's the tools he uses, his own strength, or even his management of their pirate crew...

It can be said that they are all top-notch and extremely powerful.

Ben Beckman even thinks that if he and Luffy had been born in the previous era, it would have been different.

Then Rocks, the King of the New World, has nothing to do with this!!

Even if this man were on the Navy's side, the outcome of the Marineford War might have been completely different, and the great pirate era on this sea would have long since ended.

Undeniably, this man possesses such formidable abilities.

So dangerous, mysterious, and intriguing!!

"Perhaps, after this incident is over, I'll be able to sit down with him, have a drink, and have a chat..."

Ben Beckman slowly withdrew his gaze, and then it fell on the back of his boss.

Although he didn't say it aloud, he had a premonition.

His own boss might share the same thoughts.

He also wanted to have a good talk with the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Some hidden secrets about this world, and its future direction...

926 [Tot·Music] The Demon King Appears!! The Truth That Was Once Sealed Away!!

Buzz~! !

While Lucky Roux and the others from the Red-Haired Pirates were pondering this, on the other side...

Uta's summoning was complete, and a colossal demon king figure appeared in mid-air, accompanied by intertwined black and red lightning.

It had a clown-like face, wine-red skin, and a long nose like Pinocchio.

A ring of beige downy hair encircled his chin, extending all the way to the back of his head.

Wearing a hat that looks like a magician's hat, with her arms outstretched, the entire outfit is made up of the black and white keys of a piano.

Its entire lower body was shrouded in a pitch-black mist, surrounded by a ring of stars that resembled interwoven crimson light. An extremely eerie smile appeared on its face, and it let out a piercing scream that seemed to shatter eardrums!

This enormous monster is none other than the legendary monster, [Tot·Music]!

As it appeared, three burning skulls instantly materialized on its chest, linking the real world with the singing world!

At this moment, a fierce storm raged in the seas surrounding the entire island of Alicia, with waves crashing against the shore, threatening to shatter the entire island!

Within that singing world, jet-black arcs of electricity enveloped the entire sky, as if the world was about to end!

"What...what kind of world is this going to become?!"

In the world of singing, those audience members who hadn't been turned into dolls by Uta were now huddled together, trembling.

The scene unfolding before their eyes truly terrified them, making them feel as if it were the end of the world.

Furthermore, this is exactly the same sense of danger and fear that came with the pirates attacking their hometown and islands!

Uta is no longer the songstress and idol they were so enamored with; instead, she's become a terrifying and dangerous figure, just like those pirates, bringing disaster and panic!

"Uta!!"

Within the world of singing, upon seeing Uta summon such an ominous, strange, and sinister creature radiating a dark aura, Luffy could no longer restrain himself and charged forward!

Click! !

In an instant, Gear Fourth activated, and the massive rubber fists, like a storm, rained down on the Demon King of Tot Music!

But~~~

Bang bang bang! !

No matter how fiercely Luffy attacked, all that landed on his opponent was to create ripples, without causing any damage whatsoever!

"So, it really does require a simultaneous attack from both inside and outside, huh?!"

While calming the crowd behind him, the great Usopp took out his two guns, ready to take aim and provide cover at any moment.

At the same time, his expression was somewhat unpleasant as he looked at Uta, who was still chanting there:

"Princess Uta! Didn't you want to save everyone with your singing?!"

"Why did it turn out like this?!"

However, all that responded to him was the crimson skull aura unleashed by the [Tot·Music] Demon King!

Before he knew it, the wind had blown right in front of him, almost blowing him away!

"Uta!!"

Upon seeing this, Luffy's brows furrowed in dismay.

"I'm really angry!!"

After being guided by Link and taught by example from various sources, Luffy is no longer as naive and innocently foolish as he used to be.

On the contrary, he has become more mature now:

"I'm going to send you flying!!"

He lunged forward and leaped into the air towards Uta, shouting, "I'm going to give you a good beating!!"

Well, the rule about not hitting women is only Sanji's rule; it doesn't apply to Luffy at all.

"Perfect, I'm also a pirate, so we don't have much to talk about..."

Uta, who had just finished chanting, also looked at Luffy, who was rushing towards him, with cold, trembling eyes:

"Especially with pirates who believe in Shanks, there's nothing more to say!!"

"No, Uta!!"

Suddenly, before Luffy arrived, the old man with the scar on his face, who had been watching this place from inside the tower with a telescope, ran over.

·· 0 flowers requested ··· ····

He was none other than Gordon, the king of the previously destroyed Kingdom of Alicia, and the one who had cared for Uta as he grew up.

At this moment, after seeing Uta summon the [Tot·Music] Demon King, the disaster that once shrouded the island of Alicia reappeared. Gordon could no longer hold back and came directly to the scene.

"Ten years ago, it wasn't the Red-Haired Pirates who destroyed Arya!!"

"It's [Tot Music]!!"

Gordon approached and roared, revealing to Uta the truth that had been buried deep within his heart for ten years!

......... ...... ...

He could no longer stand by and watch Uta continue down this wrong path, making one mistake after another!

"I'm sorry, I haven't been able to tell you the truth all this time..."

After revealing this secret, Gordon seemed much more relaxed and spoke faster:

"Hello, do you remember? The party that day..."

"Those who heard that you would be leaving the music academy with Shanks took this last chance to hear you sing song after song."

"Because this is a special opportunity, we invited almost all the people to come and hear you sing."

"That's probably where things went wrong..."

As he approached the crucial point of the truth, Gordon's tone became increasingly urgent and impassioned.

However, he did not notice that Uta, who was listening to the truth for the "first time," was calm and composed like a still lake, a calmness he had never shown before.

There was absolutely no trace of the shock, disbelief, or other intense emotions one might feel upon suddenly hearing the truth.

Gordon, oblivious to this, continued to recount the truth of what happened back then.

927 That's ridiculous! Even if we break up, you'll always be my daughter?!

"Your voice has summoned the musical score that was sealed beneath the castle."

"That sheet music is [Tot Music]!!"

When Gordon spoke of those tragic and unforgettable memories, his face was filled with pain:

"Before we even had a chance to notice it, it had already appeared in front of you, and then it all began!!"

"In its pursuit of freedom, it exploited the fruits of your singing..."

The naive Uta thought it was just a pretty good-looking old song, so she sang it on the spot.

Naturally, the demon king monster that had been sealed away for many years was summoned back.

"The demon king who broke the seal on the musical score possessed your tiny body and then began to use your powers against the entire nation!!"

"967" [Tot·Music] merely opens its mouth, and endless thunder spews forth from it.

The explosive lightning brought almost unbearable damage to the entire island.

In just a very short time, the entire island was turned into a sea of ​​fire!

All kinds of buildings were destroyed, and countless lives were taken in that disaster.

Only Gordon survived, lying severely wounded in a pool of blood, still shouting towards the unconscious Uta:

"Get up, Uta!! Don't let it control you!!"

Besides Gordon, the Red-Haired Pirates were also on the island at that time.

Shanks and his gang drew their swords and began to fight against Tot Music.

"Fortunately, and thankfully you were still young at the time. You got tired and then fell asleep..."

Gordon's voice had become weak by the end.

"But that country..."

The eyes behind the sunglasses closed painfully once again.

He felt as if he were once again immersed in that inferno, that catastrophe.

The tragedy that befell the entire nation and its people was so vividly clear before his eyes, etched in his memory!
