One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Upon seeing this, the Five Elders' expressions changed immediately. They realized that there was something wrong with the tune that had suddenly started playing!

"Oh no! It's the singing voice from the Song-Song Fruit!"

"It wasn't transmitted via Den Den Mushi live stream, but went directly from Expo Island to here?"

"This is terrible, the Holy Land has been affected too, damn it."

The Five Elders walked out of the Hall of Power with grim faces and looked outside. The once bustling holy site was now littered with people lying on the ground.

Holy Land guards, CP specials, World Government officials, Marines, slaves, Celestial Dragons—they lay scattered in every corner, fast asleep.

"If we can't deal with that singing girl soon, this will really be a problem."

For some reason, ninety-nine percent of the people in the vast holy land were asleep, but the Five Elders at the entrance of the Hall of Power were completely unaffected by the singing floating in the air.

“Wait, if everyone will fall asleep because of this song, then wouldn’t that be acceptable?” Satan narrowed his eyes and looked at the others standing beside him.

"An anti-aging surgery? Indeed, it's a good opportunity. Although we won't age, just in case, we should prepare for the next generation. Lord Im's servants can't be left vacant, and Gringu is getting quite old. I'm the fastest, so I'll make this trip. It'll be a good opportunity to see if Kaido is truly dead."

Maz Saint understood Satan's meaning, loosened the buttons on his cuffs, shook his neck, and suddenly grew hundreds of times larger, his head transforming into a huge bird's head, and with a flap of his hands, it became a pair of wings.

In an instant, he transformed into a large bird wreathed in black flames, soaring upwards from the entrance of the Hall of Power and heading towards the new world.

At the entrance of the Marshal's Mansion, Akainu, shirtless and covered in thick Armament Haki armor, seemed invisible, oblivious to his surroundings, quietly looking up at the black flame bird flying overhead.

"Itsumade..."

Deep within the flowers of the sacred land, the mysterious Im, with his eyes slightly narrowed, seemed to be listening to the demon's song while admiring the huge portrait hanging on the wall in front of him.

In the painting, a girl with long blue hair is dignified, elegant, noble, and beautiful, as if she is radiating light.

That was... Vivi.

Wanbo Island.

"Redhead! Do you even know what you're doing?"

Garp and his friends, who wanted to rush onto the island and stop Uta from continuing to sing, were enraged by Shanks' sudden obstruction.

Garp suddenly turned around and punched Shanks' terrifying blade of light.

The jet-black Conqueror's Haki lightning shattered the void, shattering Shanks's slash and unleashing a violent shockwave that swept in all directions.

Garp and Magellan turned and stopped. Kizaru was also about to stop, but Garp told him to go first and stop the singing.

Seeing this, Shanks instantly moved away from his original position, intending to bypass Garp and Magellan who were blocking his way, and intercept Kizaru.

But Garp's speed was in no way slower than his.

Shanks heard a loud boom in his ears, and the surrounding atmosphere and islands suddenly trembled. A fist wrapped in Conqueror's Haki was already smashing directly towards his face.

"Red-Haired Shanks! I've always thought of you as a pirate who isn't too evil. Even though you lured Luffy out to sea, I didn't hold much prejudice against you. But today, knowing full well the serious consequences of letting this song get out, you're still here doing everything you can to stop it. What exactly do you want?"

"Could it be that he still considers Barrett a comrade because of old feelings?"

Shanks swung his Griffin sword, the blade radiating the world's most powerful Haki, blocking Garp's fist.

Shanks didn't answer, but looked at Beckman.

"Beckman!"

"Leave it to me."

Beckman, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, responded and flashed after Kizaru, raising his flintlock pistol at the same time.

"Kizaru! Stop now if you don't want to get hurt."

Before he finished speaking, he pulled the trigger.

With a deafening roar, like the sound of cannons, Beckman's right hand holding the gun jerked, and a bullet wrapped in black lightning shot out from the muzzle of the flintlock pistol, scraping against the air and making a whooshing sound like a meteor.

Kizaru, who was flying at high speed in his laser beam, felt a chill run down his spine. Without hesitation, he made a sharp right-angle turn in mid-air and braked sharply to the right to dodge.

With a whoosh, the bullet wrapped in black lightning flew past him and struck a low hill in front of him.

With a deafening roar, the low mountain shattered into dust, leaving only a huge crater over a hundred meters in diameter.

Kizaru, who managed to dodge in time, gasped at the terrifying destructive power and raised his hands in surrender.

"Ugh, Ben Beckman, bullets wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, that's too dangerous, my heart is pounding."

Beckman exhaled a puff of smoke, about to say something, when he suddenly sensed a deadly danger rapidly approaching, just like Kizaru, whom he had just shot from behind. He quickly jumped away from where he stood.

"Hellfire Poison Cannon!"

A cold, emotionless voice sounded from behind.

Immediately afterwards, the whistling sound of artillery shells filled the air and landed where Beckman had been standing.

With a muffled thud, the destructive power of this sneak attack seemed far less than that of Beckman's previous entangled bullet.

But when Beckman turned around and saw the ground rapidly melting and collapsing like an avalanche, his expression changed.

"Magellan, the King of Hell".

Dozens of meters behind him, Magellan was completely enveloped in a rust-red, hellish poison that resembled magma. The terrifying poison even melted the ground beneath his feet, turning it into a gushing, magma-like liquid.

Rusty red venomous dragons extended from his body, opening their hideous and terrifying maws, looking down at Shanks, Beckman, and the others with a smile.

“Vice Admiral Garp, there’s no point in talking to these pirates. The Song-Song Fruit is too dangerous. Every second that’s wasted, countless innocent people in this world will be forever lost in their sleep. You go first, I’ll… poison them.”

Magellan's voice was icy, like a chilling wind blowing from hell.

A terrifying, potent poison emanated from his body, enveloping the air and ground within a radius of several hundred meters around him in just a few seconds.

Both the air and the ground, under the corrosive influence of this potent poison, are like steel rusting rapidly, quickly turning a reddish-brown color.

Before even coming into contact with the rust-red venom on Magellan's body, Shanks and the others felt intensely unwell and nauseous just from smelling the odor emanating from the air shield.

"What a terrifying poison! We must never touch it, or we will surely die." Shanks' expression became extremely solemn, and his gaze towards Magellan was even more cautious than when he faced Garp.

"Damn it, with such a dangerous guy around, we'll be really hampered in the fight." Beckman even stopped smoking, afraid of inhaling Magellan's poison gas. "Wasn't this guy supposed to be inseparable from Impel Down? Why is he here?"

Not only enemies, but even Garp instinctively kept his distance when Magellan unleashed his full power and released his strongest hellish poison.

Kizaru simply transformed into a golden light and fled.

"Magellan, be careful not to hurt your own people," Garp warned, worried that Magellan's poison gas might drift onto the Navy's warships.

"Don't worry, I have complete control over my poison."

With a wave of his hand, Magellan caused the venom and gas emanating from his body to quickly converge and surge toward Shanks and Beckman in a single direction.

"Vice Admiral Garp, you should go too. Barrett is a bit tricky; I'm afraid Admiral Kizaru might not be able to handle him alone. Deal with that Uta as soon as possible, and don't let the disaster escalate."

"Okay, then I'll leave this place to you. Be careful."

Garp was not one to hesitate. Seeing that Magellan was going to block Shanks and the others by himself, he immediately turned around and rushed towards the island.

“I’ve said it before, I won’t allow anyone to hurt Uta.”

Shanks' eyes turned cold and sharp. He gripped his sword in one hand, and his Conqueror's Haki erupted, transforming into a powerful storm that dispersed the surging poison gas before rushing towards Garp once more.

"I'm going to check out the situation on the island." With a smile, he leaped into the air and left the battlefield.

As he got up, he didn't forget to send the Redford into the sky above him to prevent Luffy and the others, who were asleep, from being affected by Magellan's poison.

"The pressure is much greater now."

Beckman then raised his gun at Magellan.

Garp felt a little annoyed as Shanks rapidly approached.

Before he came, he had heard Sengoku tell him in detail about the legend of the sealed music demon.

It is precisely because of this music demon that appeared out of nowhere that the Song-Song Fruit has become one of the most dangerous abilities in the world.

As long as the melody that can break the seal is sung, the Music Demon can be unsealed. Combined with the Song-Song Fruit's power, it becomes an eternal slumber disaster that can affect countless people around the world through sound.

However, Garp did not expect that Shanks, who always pursued a balanced approach, would repeatedly try to obstruct the process in the face of such a world-class catastrophe.

Shanks is very strong, and it could even be said that he is stronger than he is now.

Not to mention the presence of Ikko, Beckman, and others, each of whom is a formidable fighter comparable to a general.

With such top-tier combat forces hindering them, it will be difficult for them to resolve the issue quickly.

"Redhead! Are you really going to put countless people in danger because of a woman? If this isn't dealt with quickly..."

"Karp! You have no idea about Uta's abilities! Those who are affected by her abilities and enter a dream can only wake up from the dream by having her sing the corresponding song again. Killing her will only harm everyone!"

Shanks gritted his teeth and looked into the distance at the stage towering in the center of the island, where a lone girl stood.

“Also, Uta, she…”

"She's my daughter!"

Chapter 803 The World of Songs

"Where...is this place?"

When Hibari opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dreamlike world, having left the deep pit of the Wano Country's encirclement wall.

On the ground, colorful flowers, grasses and trees sway gracefully, while strangely shaped castles stand tall on the boundless grasslands and mountain peaks.

There are floating islands supported by white clouds in the sky, and a huge and beautiful rainbow.

The melodious songs playing in my ears brought me joy and relaxation, making me feel incredibly light and refreshed.

The injuries and stamina he sustained in the battle on Onigashima have been fully recovered, and he feels no discomfort whatsoever.

Looking around, the surrounding grasslands, mountains, floating islands, houses, and even the sky are filled with colorful musical notes floating about. Upon closer inspection, the rainbows hanging in the sky are actually winding musical scores.

Those relaxing and joyful songs come from these notes and resonate throughout the world.

And in this dreamlike world, there are countless other people besides Lark.

Some of them already existed, scattered throughout the grasslands, buildings, and floating islands, and some even flew directly in the air, curiously looking around.

Some, however, have just arrived, appearing out of thin air.

The lark was somewhat bewildered, having no idea where it was or how it had gotten there.

She was clearly in Wano Country, searching for Rorschach's whereabouts.

Thinking of Rorschach, the ease in Yun Que vanished instantly, replaced by renewed worry.
