"Gababababababa! This little girl's singing is really nice, and her ability is pretty special too~"
Brogy stroked his chin; his massive voice echoed through God Valley.
He watched the scene on the light curtain where Uta effortlessly subdued her enemies with the power of musical notes, appreciation gleaming in his eyes.
"But…"
His tone shifted, and a rare delicate expression appeared on Brogy's rugged face: "It seems like she has something weighing on her heart~ When she sighed earlier, a flash of helplessness passed through her eyes.
It was only for an instant, but I saw it crystal clear."
Though a giant, Brogy appeared rough but was actually extremely perceptive.
That subtle expression of Uta's had not escaped his notice.
"Jihahahahaha!"
Dorry beside him burst into laughter, making the ground tremble slightly: "This little girl wants to change the world, doesn't she?
I can sense it—she carries a kind of… unwilling flavor."
Dorry stood next to Harald, his enormous hand rubbing his weapon: "She wants to stand up for ordinary people bullied by pirates, wants to create peace with her singing. But alas, alas…"
His laughter gradually lowered: "This era isn't something one little girl can change with a single thought… The laws of the sea have always been written in blood and fire."
The two giants' conversation plunged everyone in God Valley into brief silence.
Yes, Uta's wish was beautiful—beautiful like a fairy tale.
But reality… had never been a fairy tale.
Roger held little Shanks and, unusually, did not joke around.
He gazed at Uta's clear, resolute eyes on the light curtain and let out a soft sigh.
"Changing the world, huh…"
he murmured to himself: "What an incredible dream. But that path… isn't an easy one."
Rayleigh stood beside him and pushed up his glasses: "Captain, look into that girl's eyes… besides determination, what else do you see?"
Roger was silent for a moment, then—as if something occurred to him—he slowly spoke two words…
"Loneliness…"
On stage, Uta's voice rang out again, clear and cheerful: "Everyone! The nasty pirates have been turned into cheerful songs—now it's safe!"
Clad in her note armor, she stood like a valkyrie on the battlefield.
The pirate crew that had tried to kidnap her earlier, along with Oven and the others from the BIG MOM Pirates, were all firmly bound by ropes made of musical notes and suspended in midair, becoming "special decorations" for this concert.
Luffy and the crew had already retreated offstage—this was Uta's concert, and they would not steal the spotlight.
"Everyone!"
The armor on Uta slowly faded away, revealing her gorgeous performance outfit once more.
She picked up the microphone, her face beaming with a brilliant smile: "All my previous concerts were broadcast through video Den Den Mushi, but this time is different!
This concert has no time limit! We can stay together forever and ever!"
As soon as her words fell, the entire venue erupted in deafening cheers!
Fans raised their arms and shouted, excitement bordering on frenzy.
A concert with no time limit—this was paradise for her die-hard fans!
But the powerhouses in God Valley all furrowed their brows.
"No time limit?" Rayleigh said gravely: "What does that mean?"
"That child ate the 'Sleepless Mushroom' earlier…"
Shakky crossed her arms, her gaze sharp: "And now she's saying the concert has no time limit… what is she planning?"
Roger's brows knit tightly: "If she's just eating slow-acting poison to extend a concert for the fans… then this girl is either genuinely crazy with love for her fans, or…"
He didn't finish, but everyone understood the unspoken half.
Either she was plotting something major.
"This isn't right…"
Whitebeard's Murakumogiri struck the ground; he raised a brow: "Even if she loves her fans that much, she wouldn't use her life to prolong a concert. That girl… isn't simple."
Garp dug in his nose, but his eyes were unusually serious: "Sengoku, what do you think?"
Sengoku pushed up his glasses, lenses glinting: "There are two possibilities. First, she's truly gone mad and sees this concert as her entire life. Second…"
He paused, lowering his voice: "This concert itself… is a trap."
The light curtain suddenly switched scenes.
From the lively concert venue, it shifted to the solemn, oppressive Room of Authority in Mary Geoise.
Seeing their "future selves" appear on the light curtain, the Five Elders in God Valley all furrowed their brows in unison.
Not just them—the entire God Valley, Marines, pirates, Celestial Dragons, God's Knights…
Everyone held their breath, coldly watching the light curtain!
They wanted to know what the future's highest rulers… were plotting.
In the scene, the Five Elders sat together, the atmosphere heavy.
"Red-Hair has a daughter as well…" Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, holding the First Generation Kitetsu, said calmly. From tone alone, one could hardly read any emotion.
"Just as CP0's intelligence reported."
Saint Topman Warcury picked up: his voice ice-cold: "This girl intends to completely deny the 'Great Age of Pirates.' She is a troublesome enemy."
The curly-haired elder (Saint Jaygarcia Saturn) spoke slowly: "The problem is that the people are still on her side. Her singing… has too much influence."
"She must be eradicated."
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter declared decisively, his tone chilling: "Otherwise, the consequences will be endless. She could become a 'weapon of thought' far more dangerous than the Revolutionary Army."
But in the end, it was Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro who voiced the most critical question: "Even if this little girl… carries Figarland blood?"
These words caused the Five Elders both on-screen and off to fall silent at the same time.
Uta was Shanks' daughter, and Shanks… was not merely a Yonko.
The Figarland blood in him was an unspoken secret among the World Government's highest echelons.
"Bloodline cannot be an obstacle…" Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro said coldly: "If she truly threatens the World Government's rule, even as a Figarland… she must be eliminated."
But what Saint Marcus Mars said next made the Five Elders of both timelines furrow their brows even tighter: "Tot Musica is also a hidden danger!"
"Tot Musica"!
The name exploded like thunder in God Valley!
