Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

"Oh? The Navy has arrived? Who's leading them? Green Bull or Kizaru?" Reina raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I heard it's Kizaru, but I haven't seen him yet! He's probably hiding somewhere watching Shanks and the others!" Robin pushed up her sunglasses and said softly.

"Well, this has nothing to do with us. I won't interfere in the Navy's or the Red-Haired Pirates' affairs. As for you... be careful!" Reina first gave Robin a heads-up. The Whitebeard Pirates definitely wouldn't get involved in this kind of thing; he was just here to watch the show.

He didn't care whether the Navy and the Red-Haired Pirates would fight.

Soon, the concert was about to begin. Reina and the Straw Hat crew were enjoying the concert together when Reina noticed that the Navy seemed to be gathering around them.

“Those Navy targets… don’t seem to be Shanks?” Reina noticed something amiss and frowned as he spoke.

"It shouldn't be us, right? We didn't provoke them!" Sanji appeared next to Reina at some point, and he also noticed that something was wrong with the surrounding Marines.

"Judging from their posture, it seems they intend to surround... the stage? Are they Uta's die-hard fans?" Zoro chuckled sarcastically.

"Maybe they just want to take down Uta and then use him to threaten the Red-Haired Pirates?" Nami said, frowning.

Unlike Luffy and his crew, who were having a good time, Nami and the others had already noticed the unusual nature of the Navy.

"I reckon you'll all be drawn into the battle too. Given Luffy's relationship with Uta, he can't just stand by and watch Uta get captured by the Navy! So you'd better be prepared for battle!" Reina, who was just watching the show, was more relaxed. No matter what, the Navy wouldn't target him.

The Navy would absolutely not dare to provoke the Whitebeard Pirates at this time, and besides, he came alone this time. Brulee and Pudding's identities have not yet been revealed, so the Navy should not know that they belong to the Whitebeard Pirates.

Chapter 1054 Plan

"Oh~~~~"

"Uta~"

"Uta~~Uta~~"

When Uta walked from backstage to the center of the stage, even though she hadn't started singing yet, the cheers around her were already deafening.

"Tsk tsk...you're really popular!" Reina said with a light laugh.

On stage, Uta glanced at Luffy and the others in the front row, gave a helpless laugh, and then began her performance.

As Uta's singing began, everyone quieted down and started listening to her voice.

But gradually, Reina noticed that something was wrong.

"Illusion?" Although he can't use his Sharingan now, it is still his ability, so he still has a strong resistance to illusions and the like.

However, after Reina carefully listened to it, he discovered that Uta's singing was not just an illusion. It seemed that... her singing created a musical world, and those who listened to her singing could enter that musical world.

"Father!" Although Robin's Sharingan still only had a single tomoe, it unconsciously manifested itself after Uta's song began.

“Hmm! Her singing voice is somewhat like genjutsu, and the Sharingan has a certain resistance to this kind of ability!” Reina nodded and replied.

Robin also noticed that his initially excited companions and the surrounding audience gradually quieted down, their eyes becoming vacant, as if they had fallen into some kind of illusion.

"What should we do? Should we wake Luffy and the others up?" Robin asked Reina while frowning and resisting Uta's power.

“Let’s wait and see. It doesn’t matter if we enter the illusion. When you want to break free, just focus your eye power on the Sharingan!” Reina shook his head and said.

Many of the people here had heard Uta's songs before, and based on the information they had gathered, Uta's singer did indeed possess some incredible abilities.

So even if she gets caught up in the world of music, there shouldn't be any problem, otherwise so many people wouldn't come to listen to Uta sing.

After Reina stopped speaking, Robin also relaxed and entered the world of music.

“Looks like this is the real concert venue!” Reina whispered to Robin in the music world.

Because this place is exactly the same as the Music Island in the real world, but the number of listeners is much larger, and Uta is different from outside. Here she can do more things and make her performance more perfect.

“It seems so. I just don’t know if Uta himself knows anything about this music world!” Robin nodded and said.

In this dreamlike world, Robin is no longer the same as before. She doesn't feel as at ease here. After all, in this world, Uta is the god, and she can do whatever she wants. This feeling of entrusting her safety to someone else makes her uneasy.

“Don’t worry, if you want to leave, the Sharingan will help you!” Reina saw Robin’s unease and comforted her. “Besides, look, no one around has even noticed that they’re no longer in the real world. Maybe they’ll naturally return to the real world after her singing stops! That’s good too. We can also see what those Marines are up to. They can’t possibly harm Uta here!”

Upon hearing this, Robin didn't say anything more, but quietly watched Uta's performance.

Meanwhile, Uta seemed to have also noticed Reina and Robin's presence. She felt that the two were different from others, and she seemed unable to fully control them.

However, her target was not these two people, and her plan had already begun and could not be stopped midway. So even if an accident occurred now, it was beyond her control.

It turns out that her power does indeed come from a Devil Fruit. As long as he starts singing, anyone who hears her voice will be pulled into the musical world he created, where she is the ruler.

However, this ability has a major weakness: she cannot sleep. Once she falls asleep, the ability will be canceled.

So, in preparation for this concert, she prepared something else in advance. To ensure that the ordinary people who believed in and loved her could live in a world without war and hunger, she ate a poisonous mushroom before the concert began.

If you eat this mushroom, you'll never need to sleep again, but the price is your life.

Yes, eating those poisonous mushrooms will result in death, and there is no cure.

But for the sake of her ideals, she still decided to eat the mushrooms.

Today's concert has already been broadcast via video call bugs. As long as you hear her singing, you will enter this musical world. In order to bring in as many people as possible, Uta cannot reveal any flaws or let anyone find out. Only after reaching her ideal number of people will she eat the mushroom and make this world exist forever.

No one knew about her plan except herself.

She was initially hesitant about using the plan, but her confrontation with Shanks last night finally made her decide to take it.

The person who destroyed this island and this country was not Shanks, but her!

That's right. After obtaining the Song-Song Fruit, this ability would activate whenever she sang. When she was still a child, she activated the Song-Song Fruit's ability in her sleep, creating a terrifying world and then destroying the island.

To protect himself, Shanks took the blame and distanced himself from Shanks to avoid knowing the truth, leaving Shanks to live on the island.

Shocked, Uta's personality changed drastically, and she felt even more strongly that her previous plan was very important. So, at today's concert, she activated her power.

At the port of Music Island, Shanks and his crew wore special headphones that effectively blocked out sound.

“Boss, shouldn’t we go see Uta? She seemed to have been crying last night!” Raki Lou looked at Shanks and wrote on a cardboard sign.

"Not now!" Shanks shook his head and said, "The Navy seems to have its eye on Uta. Perhaps they already know what happened back then. We must stay here to protect her!"

However, after speaking, seeing the puzzled looks on his companions' faces, he realized that they couldn't hear what he had said.

After rewriting his previous words on the cardboard, Shanks looked towards Music Island; Uta's concert should have already begun.

Chapter 1055 Mutation

Just after Uta's concert began, several naval warships were anchored on a coral reef not far from Music Island.

"Have we lost contact with everyone over there?" Kizaru asked his adjutant with a lewd look on his face.

"Yes, we've been unable to contact them since just now!" the adjutant nodded in response.

They are a bit far from Music Island, so unless they use a video phone bug, they won't be able to hear Uta's singing.

"It seems that Uta's singing voice is indeed as we guessed!" Kizaru said lazily.

"So what should we do now? Attack directly? The Red-Haired Pirates are still at the port. If we want to enter the island, we will inevitably clash with them! And those civilians controlled by Uta are also difficult to deal with!" The adjutant hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"What's so difficult about dealing with them? They're just civilians, why not just kill them all?" Green Bull said casually, lying on his deck chair.

Kizaru's second-in-command glanced at the other man but did not speak.

His sense of justice is different from Green Bull's. As a Marine, even if you don't protect civilians, you can't just kill innocent people indiscriminately!

Furthermore, Kizaru's second-in-command didn't particularly like Green Bull and Fujitora. In the past, Marine Admirals, in addition to strength, had to have corresponding military achievements, but these two were essentially parachuted in without any loyal troops. They were just Sakazuki's henchmen and didn't deserve the title of Marine Admiral at all.

Unlike the righteous Fujitora, Green Bull is a complete lackey of the World Government. Calling him a Marine is somewhat inaccurate; he's more like a spy planted by the World Government within the Marines' ranks, which is why he's even less popular among them.

However, Green Bull himself doesn't mind. Anyway, Sakazuki always provides him with enough troops whenever he goes out, so he doesn't have to worry about these things at all. Has he ever thought about competing to become a marshal?

“Now that they’ve started their operation, let’s get ready to begin too! If Shanks tries to stop us, we’ll try to bypass them; if we can’t, we’ll just start fighting!” Kizaru said as he slowly stood up.

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant saluted and turned to leave, beginning to relay Kizaru's orders.

As the Navy moved, the Red-Haired Pirates at the port also began to move, while Reina, in the central venue, was completely unaware that a battle was about to break out outside.

In his view, this matter was between the Red-Haired Pirates and the Navy, at most involving Uta and the Straw Hat crew; no matter how you looked at it, it couldn't be attributed to the Whitebeard Pirates.

With the arrival of the Navy, the Red-Haired Pirates went on full alert. They would not allow the Navy to land on Music Island. Although they did not know what the Navy's purpose was, Shanks had a feeling that the Navy wanted to take action against Uta.

"Shanks! Why aren't you stationed in the North Blue fighting those extraterrestrials? What are you doing in the South Blue?" Kizaru appeared on the deck, looking at the Red-Haired Pirates on guard, and asked.

"I don't think I need your permission to come here, do I? Besides, why is your navy making such a big fuss about coming here?" Shanks stepped forward and asked.

"Heh..." Kizaru chuckled and said, "Are you planning to stop me from landing on the island? This is the South Blue!" Kizaru looked at Shanks and said.

Logically speaking, this is not Shanks' territory, so they have no reason to clash with the Navy. After the Navy indicated that they wanted to land on the island, the Red-Haired Pirates should not have stopped them.

However, given the relationship between Uta and Shanks, Shanks would not allow the Navy to land on the island smoothly.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened at the central venue of Music Island.

Uta, who was performing in the central venue, noticed the arrival of the Navy and thus moved up her plans, eating the poisonous mushrooms she had prepared beforehand.

But unlike what she had imagined, while these poisonous mushrooms could keep her awake, they also amplified the malice in her heart. Her previous hatred for Shanks and disappointment with the world had caused her mental state to become unbalanced, so not long after eating the poisonous mushrooms, the evil thoughts in her heart were released.

The first to be affected were those in the music world. Uta, who was performing, suddenly stood still in the center of the venue. The black and white wings behind her, which corresponded to her red and white hair, began to grow larger and turned into pure black.

"Is this... a dark turn?" Reina looked at Uta in surprise, feeling that something was wrong.

"Father!" Robin, equally bewildered, approached Reina and said, "The opponent's power has suddenly increased dramatically; the Sharingan can no longer break through their genjutsu!"

"How is this possible?" Reina was quite surprised, but he was currently unable to use his eye power, so he was also unable to break through Uta's world.

Robin looked at Reina, seemingly waiting for him to use his Sharingan and break through Uta's world. She felt that she couldn't break through because her eye power was still too small. If it were Reina, there would definitely be no problem.

However, Reina never told him that he was currently unable to use his Sharingan.

He wouldn't have needed to tell Robin about this, because he didn't want her to worry.

But this situation, which can be described as a fluke, left him momentarily at a loss for words.

"Robin, Uncle Reina, what's going on?" Luffy looked bewildered at the sudden change in Uta, having no idea what had happened.

The others also gathered around, eager to know what had happened.

Robin explained the situation, and Luffy finally understood, saying, "No wonder I felt like something was off!"

Everyone showed expressions of disgust. You think you're the kind of person who can notice something, Luffy? If even you could notice, they would have noticed long ago.

"So what do we do now?" Usopp asked, looking at Uta, who was still changing on the stage, with some concern.

The central venue was in complete chaos, with people scattering everywhere. Most of the fans of Uta were civilians, with only a small number of pirates and some marines with unknown motives.

“I reckon the only way to leave here is to defeat her!” Reina pointed to the now enormous Uta on the stage and said, “Although I don’t know what happened, we should know when we get back to the real world, or… you could grab those marines and ask them, they seem to have their own plans!”
