The Replica Magic Starting from Black Four

Chapter 362 Human Nature is a Complex Thing: Liberation (Totemjika)

He looked at Gordon, whose face was full of wariness and hostility.

Momo smiled gently and said calmly, "Even if I said I had no ulterior motive, I doubt you would believe me."

"That bounty poster about me, you must have deliberately shown it to Uta, right?"

"What do you want to do to Uta!"

Gordon was the first to pull out a somewhat old-looking flintlock pistol, angrily pointing it at Mumu and shouting.

When Miki saw the flintlock pistol, he raised an eyebrow and a look of amusement appeared on his face.

"You don't need to shout so loudly."

"Don't worry, Uta is fast asleep and can't hear what we're talking about."

Mumu shrugged, even deliberately stepping aside to allow the other person to see Uta's figure completely.

Gordon's gaze immediately fell on Uta, then quickly looked at Yimu. Seeing that Yimu did not make any move, he jogged over to Uta's side.

Seeing the tired look on Uta's sleeping face, and the slightly furrowed brows even though he was asleep, Gordon breathed a sigh of relief, but also let out a soft sigh.

"You gave her the bounty order about me, didn't you?" Mimu asked calmly.

"Yes."

Gordon stood up again, his eyes fixed on the tree.

"It's really interesting."

Hearing this answer, Miki found it even more interesting.

"What is your purpose in coming here, you pirate!" Gordon said coldly, pointing his flintlock pistol at Yumu once again.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
"A person who destroyed his own country raised this person as his own daughter. How great is that?"

Mogi raised his palm, pointing to the desolate, uninhabited music island of Eligia, a mocking smile on his face, and clapped his hands.

boom!
Gunfire rang out.

Gordon's expression twisted in anger, and he fired the shot directly.

However, when the bullet reached Mugi, it was stopped by an invisible force and fell to the ground.

"Don't be so angry."

"You know, the gun in your hand can't hurt me at all."

With his arms crossed, Momo looked at Gordon, whose eyes widened in surprise, and his smile deepened.
"Human nature is truly complex and interesting. Whether it's the bounty or the shooting, you're trying to provoke me and make me kill you, or even Uta."

"you you!"

Gordon looked at Qian Yimu with a mixture of anger and disbelief.

Swish!
Gordon saw that Mumu's figure had vanished into thin air. The sudden situation made him instinctively take a step back and hurriedly look around.

For some reason, he felt completely exposed in front of Yumu.

"Is someone like you pathetic, pitiful, or perhaps you want to end it all with death?"

A calm voice came from behind.

Gordon quickly turned around and looked in the direction the sound came from, only to find that Mumu was already sitting cross-legged on a rock not far away, one hand supporting his chin, looking at him indifferently.

"What do you know!"

"You brat, don't think you can talk big just because you know a little about the Erigias!" Gordon clenched his fists, his voice filled with suppressed anger.

Seeing Gordon suddenly become agitated as if his secret had been read, Mumu chuckled softly.

"Perhaps at the very beginning, as Shanks' friend, you genuinely intended to teach Uta to become the best musician."

"But people change!"

"Seeing your kingdom destroyed, you must have felt immense torment every time you saw Uta, but after spending so much time together, you've come to regard Uta as your own daughter."

"You must be in pain under these complicated emotions, Gordon."

The black pupils of the yuki seemed to see through people's hearts, reflecting Gordon's trembling body.

As he said before, human nature is complex.

not to mention!
This is not something that is difficult to predict.

Whether it's Uta's death at the end or some of the flashback scenes in the middle, the movie is inherently shrouded in mystery.

For example, the true cause of the destruction of the music island of Eligia. Years ago, Uta accidentally found a video Den Den Mushi and learned about it through the images inside.

In other words.

Uta knew early on that he was the true destroyer of the music island of Eligia!
Isn't it interesting that this video Den Den Mushi (snail phone) appears?
There are only two people on the entire island, Uta and Gordon. The fact that someone could find a video Den Den Mushi by accident is suspicious in itself.

In the movie, after Uta's death, the Red-Haired Pirates leave with Uta's body, but Gordon does not appear.

Remember, Gordon isn't dead!

One was Uta's adoptive father before he turned nine, and the other was Uta's adoptive father after he turned nine.

The fact that Shanks entrusted Uta to Gordon's care shows that their relationship was more than just ordinary friendship; it could be described as that of close friends.

However, in the final process.

Shanks and Gordon never met each other.

It's not that Uta's death was related to Gordon.

However, the implementation of Uta's "New Genesis" plan will inevitably result in Gordon's laissez-faire attitude.

Whether it's Shanks or Gordon, in Mumu's eyes, they're both equally good.

"you you……"

Gordon's lips trembled.

He found it incredible that the other party not only knew that Uta was the red-haired girl's daughter, but also knew a great deal about the Island of Music, Eligia.

"The destruction of the island of music and the demise of the nation—this hatred will not fade away with the passage of time."

"Your target for revenge can be the Red-Haired Pirates, or even the legendary demon 'Totemjika,' but it absolutely cannot be a child who was only nine years old at the time."

"After all, she's your daughter now, isn't she?"

Momo rested his chin on his hand, speaking in a light tone.

boom!
Gordon's body trembled, and he collapsed to his knees, his hands bracing against the ground as he slammed his head heavily into the sand with a thud.

"Do you want revenge?"

Momoki flashed to stand in front of Gordon, looking at Gordon kneeling on the ground.

"What do I need to give in return?" Gordon's body trembled, and he slowly raised his head.

The sun began to set.

The sky was tinged with a faint golden hue, and the distant sea, with its blend of golden and deep blue, took on an orange-yellow hue.

Birds soared through the air above the island, creating a refreshing sea breeze.

Uta, who was sleeping on the beach, felt that she had never slept so comfortably before. She opened her pale purple eyes hazily and stretched out her fair arm to rub her eyes.

I saw the sunset over the distant sea.

"Did I sleep for that long?" Uta was taken aback, then her shoulders relaxed.

The worries that had been weighing on Uta's mind all this time disappeared during the battle with Yuki, and the sense of ease that had once again brought a smile back to Uta's face.

"Shouldn't Mogi have left by now?"

"Next time you come here, you should apologize to Yumu."

Uta muttered to herself softly, patting her cheeks. Suddenly remembering something, her expression changed. "Oh no, I'm going to get scolded."

I need to hurry back now, or Gordon will start to get anxious again.

Thinking of this, Uta quickly got up, brushing the dust off his clothes, and prepared to hurry back to his home.

however.

When Uta turned around, he was completely taken aback.

I saw.

Not far behind her, a bonfire was burning, with several charred and roasted fish on it.

Gordon and Mimu were sitting cross-legged on either side of the campfire, seemingly exchanging words.

It was only then that Uta smelled the aroma of grilled fish wafting through the air.

He seemed to sense her gaze.

Mumu turned his head towards Uta's direction and waved his arm.

Uta glanced at Yimu, then at Gordon, and her face flushed red as if something had suddenly occurred to her.

After a while.

Uta walked to the campfire and glanced at Gordon cautiously, only to find that Gordon didn't seem angry at all.

even!

She discovered for the first time that Gordon could actually smile, if a slight upturn of the corners of his mouth could be considered a smile.

In Uta's memory, Gordon had always been very strict and never smiled. She originally thought that if Gordon and Mumu met one day, the scene would be very tense.

At the very least, it should never be as harmonious as it is now.

What exactly happened while she was asleep?
Miki is truly an amazing person.

Uta was filled with curiosity, her beautiful eyes crinkling as she looked at Yumu, a strange sense of joy welling up inside her.

"Are you hungry? Have something to eat first." Mimu picked up a cooked grilled fish from the campfire and handed it to Uta.

"kindness."

Uta nodded. She had many questions in her mind, but seeing Yumu's gentle expression, she suddenly didn't feel like asking them anymore.

Next.

Aside from the sound of firewood burning in the campfire, the three of them were rather quiet.

Uta took a small bite of the grilled fish, seemingly focused on the food in her hand, but her eyes were actually glancing at Yuki and the other person out of the corner of her eye from time to time.

Gordon just sat there quietly, head down.

When Uta had almost finished eating the grilled fish in his hand, Gordon seemed to have finally gathered his thoughts and looked up at Uta.

“Uta, I’m sorry.” Gordon.

"What are you saying, Gordon?"

Uta was stunned, his face full of confusion.

"Actually, there's something I've been hiding from you all these years." Gordon then recounted in detail the true destruction of Elijah.

After listening, Uta did not show any excitement on her face. Instead, she gently wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "I understand."

Gordon opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to continue speaking.
He certainly knew that Uta understood what had happened back then.

After all, it was he who deliberately let Uta find the Den Den Mushi that recorded the destruction of Erigia.

only!

Gordon had always been puzzled as to why Uta deliberately acted as if she knew nothing.
Even after he finished explaining the situation in more detail, Uta did not deliberately show any surprise at only now knowing.

At that moment, Gordon suddenly realized that he didn't seem to really understand Uta.

Tick ​​tock!

A single, glistening tear suddenly slid down Uta's cheek and fell to the ground.

"actually……"

"I'm the one who should be apologizing, Gordon."

"I have always wanted to apologize to you sincerely!"

Uta suddenly looked up, her cheeks already covered in tears.

“Uta.” Gordon was taken aback, then his face was full of apology and regret as he hugged Uta tightly.
"I should have told you everything sooner. It must have been very painful to keep this guilt buried deep in my heart."

“It was my fault, Uta.”

Momo glanced at the two of them but did not disturb them.

The reason I spent some time getting to know Gordon is because Gordon is a very important family member to Uta.

Or you can say.

Both of these people have intricate connections with Shanks.

If Mochiki intends to take action against the New World, then the Four Emperors are unavoidable. Compared to Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom, the Red-Haired Pirates are the only ones that Mochiki sees as somewhat troublesome.

If he remembered correctly, Shanks was a member of the Celestial Dragon family, the "Figrand," and was associated with the Knights of God.

It was only at this moment that Gordon seemed to have truly made up his mind. He reached out and gently patted Uta's shoulder before looking seriously at Yumu.

"Can you really do it?"

Gordon himself didn't realize that there was a slight tremor in his voice as he spoke.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Yu Mu replied just as earnestly.

Uta looked at the two of them with reddened eyes: "What are you talking about?"

"Uta, would you like to go out to see the world beyond the ocean?"

Mogi smiled and spoke.

Outside?

Uta's eyes unconsciously showed a look of anticipation, but she did not speak immediately.

"If you want to go outside, there's one thing you have to take care of."

"Totemjika!"

Momo's gaze fell on Gordon.

Upon hearing this name, Uta's face turned pale instantly.

Although the island of music, Eligia, is extremely desolate, building ships is still quite easy. Gordon and Uta have always stayed on this island, and even Shanks and the others did not take Uta away with them.

Ultimately, it all comes down to "Totemjika"!
It can easily destroy a country, and even the Red-Haired Pirates cannot eliminate it. If such a terrifying power were allowed to enter the sea, the destruction it would cause would be unimaginable.

Ultimately!

Uta is "Totemjika"!
Or rather, "Totemjika" is a product of the Song-Song Fruit.

Gordon took a deep breath and pulled out an old musical score that looked to be from a very long time ago.

The moment I saw this sheet music,
Uta grew even paler and began to tremble. In an instant, he recalled the scene in the video call where he had transformed into a monster and destroyed the kingdom.

"Uta!"

"Let's put an end to this once and for all."

Yumu stood up, extended his palm, and offered it to Uta.

Uta stared palely at the hand that landed in front of her, her fearful and bewildered gaze meeting Yumu's.

"Even Gordon believes you!"

"I believe in you too!"

Uta took a deep breath, and her slender, boneless hand landed on Yumu's palm.
