Chapter 95 Uta
"Huh!" Gray took a deep breath of fresh air. Just when he was about to take a step further, Monet suddenly stood up with a blushing face.

"It's still daytime!" After saying this, Monet left Gray with his back and ran out in an instant.

"So, it doesn't have to be daytime?" After becoming an adult, the secretion of teenage hormones made Gray start to grow into an 'adult'.

……

Elegia, the island is located at the front of the New World, after Gray used flying to move forward quickly.

But in just one day and one night, they reached their destination.

The reason why it took so long was because Gray needed to rest at night and it was impossible for him to ignore his own energy consumption in order to hurry on.

If you keep rushing on without caring about the consumption and fight when encountering special situations, it will be Barbie Q.

Floating above the sky of Elegia, Gray held a monocular telescope and observed the current ground conditions in Elegia.

Gray looked around and saw that most of the buildings were in ruins. Even if there were some still standing, they were in tatters. Gray doubted that if a stronger wind blew, these standing dilapidated buildings would collapse directly.

"Tot musica! The music score that seals the Demon King of Song, judging from the current situation, may be much more powerful than I thought!" Thinking about the configuration of the Demon King of Song in the original movie, Gray felt it was outrageous.

It took the Straw Hat Pirates, the Red Hair Pirates, the Double Emperors, and foreign aid such as Katakuri to finally seal the Demon King of Song.

Moreover, the Demon King of Song is an abominable mechanical monster. You must defeat him in the spiritual world and the real world at the same time to succeed.

Otherwise he would be directly invincible!
"I hate weird mechanisms the most! However, if I were a weird mechanism myself, I would probably be very happy!" This is just like when Gray played games in his previous life. He hated people who stole towers and people who prevented him from stealing towers the most in his life. This is a truth.

After a brief moment of fantasy, Gray turned to business. He shouted to the people behind him and waved his hand: "Fairies, prepare to land and begin our first adventure!"

"Oh!"

The dwarfs, led by Leo, suddenly became excited. It was the first time they went out to sea in their lives, the first time they had an adventure, and they were always full of fantasies.

After a day and a night, the novelty of going out to sea has not yet worn off. They often lie on the edge of the island, watching the sea passing by quickly, and they can watch for the whole day without feeling bored.

Gray found a good position and controlled the island to slowly descend.

boom!
Even though Gray felt that he was very light, Greenbit's size was still there. When he fell to the sea level, he still set off a huge wave.

"Let's go!" After parking on the island, Gray waved his hand and immediately took the lead to rush towards Elegia.

"Oh! Here we come!"

"Wait for me, Gray!"

Except for the necessary personnel left behind, many dwarf humans happily followed Gray, jumped over the sea in the middle, and set foot on the land of Elegia.

"Wow! Is this what adventure is?"

"But, there seems to be no one here!"

"Don't worry, there's no one here. I can already feel their presence!" After stepping on the land of Elegia, Gray immediately displayed his Observation Haki to sense Uta's location.

Not far ahead, there were two auras appearing in Gray's perception.

"Then Gray, let's go over there quickly! Let's ask them why this place has become like this!" Leo, on behalf of his friends, urged Gray to lead the way.

"Haha! Then let's go!"

The ruins along the way did not affect the group's running at all. On the contrary, it was because of this unique environment that the dwarf humans felt very novel.

They let go of their hands and feet and ran around quickly, looking here and there.

And they were curious about everything, with a hundred thousand questions, which made Gray feel overwhelmed when he tried to explain.

However, Gray didn't have to worry for long. With their speed, they arrived at their destination in just ten minutes.

"We're here!" At this time, Gray and others stopped in front of a water concert hall.

This is the most luxurious and extravagant concert hall in Elegia. Musicians from all over the world are proud to be able to perform here.

But that was in the past!

After the Red Hair Incident, almost all the locals on the island died and the city was reduced to ruins. Only this place remained intact.

However, due to the lack of care, some aquatic plants inevitably grew on the water concert hall, as well as barnacles and oysters clinging to it, making the entire water concert hall look very desolate.

"who are you!"

"What are you doing here?" The noise caused by Gray's landing on the island, plus the noise of the crowd after landing on the island, had already made the last two people on Elegia sense the movement.

The one who came out to question Gray and the others was an old uncle, with a young girl wearing headphones hiding behind him.

"Don't be nervous, we are not pirates!" Gray explained first, calming the other party's nervousness: "We are the Adventure Guild Fairy Tail!"

"We sailed here and saw that everything was in ruins, so we decided to come up and check the situation."

"I see!" He nodded in understanding. Although he was still wary of the other party, Gordon looked slightly relieved.

"As long as he's not a pirate!" After muttering to himself, Gordon looked at Gray and others. In just a moment, he was attracted by the figure of the dwarf behind Gray.

"Is this the legendary tribe of dwarfs, the Tontata tribe?"

"I thought they no longer existed in this world, but I didn't expect that I could still see this legendary race when I'm old!" Gordon's words made the little girl with half red and half white hair behind him turn her eyes away from the little people.

He looked at Gordon with a puzzled look, waiting for his explanation. But despite this, he couldn't hide his curiosity and kept looking at the little people.

"Hey! He knows us!"

"He also said that we are a legendary race. Is that a compliment to us?" The simple little people would be very happy as long as they heard good words about them and would think that the other party was not a bad person.

“This adult race should also be a good person!”

"Sir, would you like to introduce yourself?" Gray interrupted Gordon's mumbling.

Gordon: "Oh oh! Sorry!"

"I'm Gordon, and this is Uta! As you can see, we are the last two people in this country."

"I understand! Can you tell me why this country was destroyed?" When Gray asked this question, both Gordon and Uta next to him looked ugly in an instant.

"This..." Gordon had a hard time speaking, and could only stammer, "Just think of it as us being unlucky and being destroyed by a group of powerful pirates."

"I see!" Gray seemed to understand them very well and stopped dwelling on the issue.

Although he skipped a question, Gray immediately asked: "Since this place has been destroyed, why are you still here?"

Gordon: …

At this moment, Gordon almost cursed in his heart. How come this person didn't understand his intentions at all and kept asking him things that were difficult to talk about.

But there was no other way. For the sake of young Uta, he could only grit his teeth and force himself not to speak carelessly!

"You're kidding. This is the New World, and there are pirates everywhere. I don't have much strength, so I don't dare to take Uta out."

Hearing this, Gray understood everything and said without hesitation: "Your worry is justified!"

"But now we are here. Since we have seen your difficulties, we will not stand idly by."

"Come with us!"

"You can go wherever you want!"

"I am somewhat confident in my own strength. Ordinary little pirates are no match for me."

Gordon, who accepted the red-haired man's request, naturally didn't want to accept Gray's invitation: "No, no, no! Don't bother President Gray."

“I think it’s good for us to be here.”

"The destroyed Elegia has no value to those pirates, so they won't come here."

"I think we are quite safe here."

Hearing this, Gray's expression immediately changed. He changed his previous friendly look and said with anger and excitement: "You are too selfish, Gordon!"

"You've reached this age, and you've already seen all the wonderful things that life has to offer."

"And what about her?" Gray pointed at Uta next to him: "She is just a girl of eleven or twelve years old, in the prime of her youth, and she has to accompany you on this deserted island, living a life that you can foresee at a glance. How cruel it is for her!"

"There are no peers to play with or have heart-to-heart talks with, and they just follow you, an old man. Can you bear to watch?"

Gray's deafening words not only made Gordon ashamed, but also the dwarfs next to him put themselves in Uta's perspective, looking at Uta with pitiful eyes and feeling very distressed for her.

As for Gordon, they overturned their previous view that he was a bad adult.

"This..." Gordon was speechless.

He is now in a state of grievance that he cannot express in words. Based on Red Hair's request and his own thoughts, they all agree that letting Uta stay in Elegia is the best way.

But what they think is good is just what they think.

Uta is so young and has not seen the beauty of the world yet. She is going to die here. It is too cruel for a child.

"I want to go to the sea!" Uta, who was standing next to him, spoke out directly.

"Uta, you!" Gordon was suddenly at a loss.

"Since Shanks doesn't want me anymore, then I don't want them either. I want to go out to sea!" Facing Gordon's gaze, Uta said this firmly.

She has lived here for two years, ever since she came here at the age of nine and was abandoned by Shanks.

Apart from studying music, she had no other activities every day, which made her always trapped in the picture of Shanks abandoning her.

No one wants to have such unpleasant memories.

"But..." Gordon was immediately anxious. After hearing what Gray said, he also felt that he couldn't let a child stay here with a man who was about to be buried.

Because he felt it made sense, he couldn't refute it, nor could he find any words to reject Uta.

"Since you find it difficult to decide now, you can think about it first! There is no need to make a decision so quickly!" The goal was about to be achieved, and Gray was not in a hurry at this time.

Because there’s no point in being anxious!

His words were out, and it would be difficult for either Uta or Gordon to continue staying here.

Uta was angry about being abandoned by Shanks, while Gordon stood in the middle, caught in a dilemma.

On the one hand, she had to agree to the promise made to Shanks, and on the other hand, Uta was still very young, and she would follow him here for her whole life, without any companions or peers to communicate with. Would there be any problems with her mental health?

This is not conducive to Uta's growth at all!
"Alas! This is the only way!" With a sigh, Gordon looked at Uta and said earnestly: "Uta, let's think about this carefully."

"If you really want to go to sea and make up your mind, I..."

"I won't stop it!" Gordon said this as if he had used up all his strength, and his back was even hunched over.

"I'll think about it carefully!" Uta nodded solemnly.

Just when the atmosphere was about to become solemn, Gray spoke up to break it: "Haha! Today is the day we meet."

"It is fate that led us to meet. Don't think about those unhappy things and ruin your mood."

"To celebrate our meeting and making new friends, let's have a party together."

"Oh! Let's have a party!" Manshirley, Leo and others cheered immediately.

"For new friends!"

"It's time for the party!"

Gray: "Come with us! Gordon, Uta!"

"Have a party on our ship!"

"Since President Gray has invited us, we'll bother you!"

"You're welcome!" Gray then led the two to the coast of Greenbit Island.

Gordon, Uta: ???

Looking at the island that suddenly appeared, the two were confused.

The two of them were absolutely certain that there had been no island next to Elegia before.

"This is?"

"This is our ship!" The confused look on their faces made Leo very proud: "This is Gray's unique ability. It can take our home to fly together!"

"This is the Flying Pirates, or the Floating-Floating Fruit?" As the king of a country, and in a kingdom in the New World, Gordon had heard of the reputation of the Golden Lion.

Gray's way of flying with the island inevitably reminded him of the Golden Lion Shiki.

"How amazing!" It was the first time for young Uta to see an island flying, and he immediately exclaimed in praise.

"Hahaha! It's nothing. I have eaten a devil fruit and I am a fruit ability user!" Gray waved his hands, very humble.

"Hey! Are you a user of special abilities too?"

Gray turned to look at Uta in surprise, as if he had heard it for the first time: "Oh! You too?"

"That's right! I'm the user of the Parahuman Song-Song Fruit!"

"You, the adult, have abilities too! Me too! I am the user of the Seam-Seam Fruit!" Leo gestured to Uta with the needle in his hand. "Hehe! I am also a user of abilities!" Manshiri also said without showing any weakness.

Since Gray often came into contact with these little people, he naturally learned some knowledge about devil fruits and corrected the names of their magic.

The simple little people revealed all their secrets.

However, it’s no big deal just to mention the name of the fruit.

What's more, all the information about this world's top powerful people is transparent to the world government, but they have never captured the Three Emperors.

It was only during the Battle of Marineford that he bullied the old man Whitebeard.

Even so, they still have to lure the enemy into their home turf, and they don’t dare to fight in the New World at all.

Otherwise, in the situation where the lips and teeth are interdependent, the rest of the royal group will not watch them start a war in the New World.

So, after all, it’s just not strong enough!

As long as it is strong enough, the intelligence will be transparent and nothing can stop it.

After all, the world government's intelligence capabilities cannot be underestimated.

After landing on Greenbit, everyone gathered in the central square and started to get busy.

There will be no shortage of barbecue, fruits and other things, so you can eat to your heart's content.

When Gray set out, he had sufficient supplies. Not only that, Doflamingo also sponsored 5 billion Baileys for Gray to use as start-up capital.

It was precisely because of so much money that Gray had the confidence to pay the salaries of the crew on board.

What if you are short of money later?
simple!
Sky Island Gold!

As for selling the Celestial Dragon specimens, whether it is sold to Doflamingo or the Golden Emperor, they will pay for it.

Especially the Golden Emperor, the other party will definitely pay a huge price for it.

So, when it comes to money, Gray is not worried at all.

"cheers!"

“Cheers to new friends!”

"Oh!"

The lively atmosphere and the happy little people allowed Uta to temporarily block out his sadness and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Everyone! Let me sing a song for you!"

"Oh! Adults, it's great that you can sing!"

"I want to hear the adults sing!" The sincere words and eyes of the dwarfs purified Uta's depressed mood.

"it is good!"

"Ahem!" Uta cleared his throat and said, "Woo~..."

It was just pure a cappella singing, pure music without lyrics, but with Uta's emotional input, everyone could clearly hear the mood, from depression and continuous rain to the final joy.

Her simple singing voice can make everyone fall into her emotions. She is truly a musical genius and deserves the title of 'Diva'!

clap clap clap!
Everyone applauded.

"That sounds great, you're so awesome, Adult Clan!"

"Hehe! It's not that good!" With a shy smile, even though he had been praised many times before by Shanks and the others, Uta couldn't stand the admiring looks of the dwarfs.

"Adults, can you please continue singing?"

"Yes, yes! Great adults, so beautiful, I want to listen more!"

"No problem, I'd be happy to do that if you like!"

“Yohohoho…” Although I don’t want to think about that annoying person, those days as a pirate were indeed very happy days.

At this moment of the banquet, Uta subconsciously sang the classic pirate song.

“Yo hoo hoo…”

“Binx's fine wine.”

The cheerful lyrics made everyone twist their bodies and dance happily to the rhythm.

"Violet, don't you really like dancing? Why don't you go up?"

This cheerful atmosphere really makes it easy for people to put aside their worries and get caught up in it.

No, Violet, who heard Gray's words, didn't think about anything else. Instead, she asked eagerly, "Is it okay?"

"Of course, I always think that you dance beautifully!"

"Since the president said so, I'll show you my ugly face!" Speaking of her favorite field, Violet smiled confidently, immediately stood up and walked into the middle, dancing the most suitable dance to Uta's singing.

The sexy, charming and mature feminine aura emanated from the dancing Violet.

"Huha!" After taking a sip of wine, Gray looked at the peaceful and prosperous environment and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This is the life that people should live!"

"Well! Just a singer and a dancer, it's still a little bit lacking. Let's try to create something more gorgeous than the Evergrande Song and Dance Troupe!" Thinking of wonderful things in his heart, Gray's mouth corners unconsciously raised a happy smile.

"Huha!" After taking a big gulp of the wine, the music, the dancing figures, and the cheerful atmosphere made Gray stand up and dance along.

"Let's get into a carnival!"

"Let's dance together and throw away all our worries!"

"Keep playing music, keep dancing!"

……

The next morning, Gray held his aching head and asked a soul-searching question: "Ugh! How did I get back?"

"Blackout again!" Unable to remember anything, the experienced Gray made this judgment.

After getting up and washing up briefly, Gray went down to the first floor lobby.

Here, Baby-5, Monet and others are organizing the dwarf chefs to prepare breakfast for everyone.

It was when he saw Monet and others preparing breakfast that Gray realized an important thing: there seemed to be no formal chef on his ship!

It’s not that Gray thinks Monet and the others are not good cooks.

The food cooked by Monet and others, although not so fancy, is still normal home cooking.

Unfortunately, their energy has to be diverted to other things, and we can't really treat them as chefs and immerse ourselves in cooking.

Their amateur cooking skills can only help when there are few people around.

You know, a serious chef in this world, in addition to cooking delicious food, will also prepare nutritious and nourishing food for everyone according to the situation.

This is something that Monet and others cannot provide.

"Oh! Now I can only trouble Monet and the others. After I finish the things in the New World, I will return to Sihai to select a chef!" After making up his mind to find a chef first, Gray sat down, thinking about the problem while waiting for breakfast.

Gray didn't have to wait long before Baby-5 came over with breakfast: "Gray! Breakfast is here!"

"it is good!"

"Then I'll start!"

After breakfast, Gray organized everyone to come to the square, turned on the gravity field, and trained everyone's physical abilities.

Including Monet, the Sugar Dwarfs and others, as long as they are combatants, they cannot escape the training plan.

When they were in the sky, they had to control the island's flight force field and could not use gravity, so they had to train on their own.

But now that I have fallen behind, I naturally have to seize the time to train and become stronger, so as not to regret it when tragedy occurs due to lack of strength.

Gray had seen a lot of stupid things like this on the screen in his previous life, so he would naturally not make such a mistake.

"It's so heavy!"

Gray: "A great hero is not afraid of this. Only by sweating more in peacetime can you bleed less in battle!"

"A great hero endures pain that ordinary people cannot endure, becomes stronger step by step, and defeats powerful enemies before he can become a great hero."

"If you want to be a great hero, you must not be defeated by the enemy. A loser cannot become a great hero."

Gray's words inspired the Dwarf warriors to grit their teeth and insist: "I want to be a great hero!"

"Just training can't beat me!"

"Well done, Leo!" When facing these little people, in addition to provoking them, praise can sometimes work wonders.

"Ah! I won't lose to you either, Leo!"

"I want to be a hero too!"

Even though Man Shirley looked so weak, she tried hard to hold on and not be pushed down by gravity.

Of course, this is also because the gravity Gray exerted was not great.

Since this was the first training session, Gray only set the gravity to four times based on their physical fitness, intending to find out their specific details first.

Only then will we develop specific, individual strengthening training programs for them.

Moreover, the gravity field spreads over a large area, allowing everyone to exercise gravity, and can only be used as the standard for the person with the lowest level of ability. This is a defect that popularization has to have.

In order to make up for this shortcoming, we can only increase the gravity after training the weakest people and then train the stronger ones.

In this way, apart from the longer training time, there are not many problems.

While Gray was training everyone, Uta and Gordon, who had returned to Elegia last night, landed in Greenbit again.

"Everyone! I'm coming!" Waving his right hand, Uta, who was in the front, ran over excitedly: "Ah! What is this?"

She was happy for less than three seconds because as soon as she stepped on the floor tiles of the square, she was pressed to the ground before she could react.

Seeing this, Gray could only temporarily remove the gravity: "This is the gravity formed by my ability. We are training. Do you want to join us?"

"I think your body is too weak to withstand even this little gravity. Don't let the strong wind blow you away!"

"Hmph! How could I be blown away by the wind!" After getting up, Uta brushed off the dirt and dust on his body and refuted Gray's words in annoyance.

"Besides, what's the point of training to become stronger?"

Hearing this, Gray shook his head and directly pointed out his point of view: "There are many meanings to becoming stronger!"

"First of all, if you encounter a bad person who wants to hurt you, you won't be hurt by him if you have the power by your side."

"Secondly, if you have power, and the power is strong enough, you can say no to many things!"

"Even if you have any questions, you can just go out to sea and use your fists to make the other party tell you the reason!"

"If he doesn't tell me, it means you're not strong enough and the hit you made wasn't painful enough!"

"You have to know that sometimes, using 'virtue' to convince others is also a good method." Gray emphasized the pronunciation of the word "virtue".

Not only that, fearing that the other party might not understand, Gray clenched his fists until they made a creaking sound and shook them in front of Uta's eyes.

Obviously, Uta was not one of the fools and understood what Gray meant: "What a twisted logic!"

Gray chuckled: "Although the logic is a bit twisted, just tell me, is this the truth?"

"We become stronger so that the bad guys can sit down and listen to our reasoning calmly."

"If you don't have this power, you will be like before, without even the strength to go out to sea to pursue the truth!" Gray's meaningful words left Uta silent.

However, Gray didn't let her remain silent for too long, because the elderly Gordon finally caught up with her.

"What do you think? You've been thinking about it all night. Do you want to go out to sea with us?" This was not only a question to Uta, but also to Gordon.

Gordon next to him said to Uta: "Uta, as President Gray said, trapping you here is too cruel for a child like you."

"As much as I want you to stay and never go to sea, I can't get over the barrier in my heart. I can't stop a young boy from accompanying an old man like me to the grave."

"So, Uta!"

“Speak your mind!”

"I support all your decisions!" Gordon's inner monologue and sincere eyes made Uta unable to hold back tears.

"Thank you, Gordon!"

“I want to go to sea!!!”

Uta's childish voice resounded through the sky!

Gray, who was standing next to him, smiled and said, "Uta, we got on board successfully!"
