Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece.

Uchiha Hakuha walked towards him step by step, each step feeling as if he were stepping on the man's heart.

"The important thing is that what you just did really upset me."

"You...you're a fan of Alicia? Trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress? Hahahaha!"

The man suddenly burst into maniacal laughter: "In Balleywood, this is illegal! You'll be punished!"

"Illegal?"

Bai Yu sneered and his figure vanished instantly.

"puff!"

The man felt a numbness in his wrist, and the remote control in his hand had vanished.

When he came to his senses, Bai Yu had already crushed the remote control with one hand, and the fragments were scattered all over the ground.

"You...do you know who I am? I'm the vice president of the Hollywood Film Association! You're dead!"

The man roared, his voice filled with bravado but his heart was filled with fear.

"Vice President?"

Uchiha Hakuba raised an eyebrow slightly, and the three tomoe in his eyes began to rotate: "Ordinary Sharingan will do, saving me the trouble of searching for them one by one."

In an instant, the world changed color.

In the man's perception, everything around him disappeared, replaced by a blood-red world.

He was horrified to find himself tied to a huge chair, while Bai Yu stood there with a knife, staring at him expressionlessly.

"Where...is this?!" The man trembled with fear.

"Although it's a replica, it looks pretty good."

Uchiha Hakuba's voice echoed in the void.

In the world of illusion, time passes slowly, but the man's spirit has already collapsed.

"I'll talk...I'll talk..."

The man knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.

"I've only heard about it from others..."

After listening, Uchiha Shiraha gave him a cold look, then turned and walked towards the door.

"Keeping this kind of scum around is just a waste of air."

He snapped his fingers lightly.

A few seconds later, all that was left was a pile of ashes.

At this moment, Alicia, who had lost control of the signal, had returned to normal. Although she was still weak and her lower abdomen was still uncomfortable, there was a hint of relief in her eyes.

She bowed slightly to the audience below the stage, and then was escorted backstage by staff amidst cheers.

"Has the matter been resolved?"

Upon seeing Uchiha Hakuha return, Nico Robin asked him gently.

"Of course, no one can disturb our good mood while watching the movie now!"

Chapter 41 Nothing to do today

"Then, let's go in."

After watching the big star's promotional event, Uchiha Shiraha led everyone into the theater.

As soon as you enter, a rich aroma of popcorn and caramel wafts over you.

The theater's interior was decorated in the most luxurious way, with huge crystal chandeliers emitting a dazzling light, and red velvet carpets extending all the way to the entrance of the screening room.

It's more like a stage for a musical than a movie theater.

"Wow, the atmosphere here is really nice."

Matsumoto Rangiku looked around excitedly.

"Although there was a little hiccup just now, I'm actually looking forward to it now."

"Hopefully the quality of the movie will match the decor."

"Are movies delicious?"

Connor, still chewing on potato chips, mumbled indistinctly.

"No, Connor-chan."

The group entered the screening room and found seats in the middle.

As the lights dimmed and the giant screen lit up, the movie officially began.

However, the content of the movie left Bai Yu slightly disappointed.

This is a dance drama with a clichéd plot and chaotic logic. Apart from the dazzling special effects and the seemingly superhuman song and dance performances of the main characters, there are not many highlights.

It's safe to say that it's no different from the Indian dramas that Uchiha Hakuba used to watch.

"This plot..."

Matsumoto Rangiku watched the scene on the screen where the protagonist suddenly started dancing at the critical moment of life and death, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

"Isn't this a bit too outrageous?"

"But in this country, outrageous is normal."

Uchiha Shiraha leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, his eyes looking somewhat languid.

"However, as a popcorn movie, it does make me laugh in some ways."

People can laugh when they're speechless...

"Indeed, although the plot doesn't hold up to scrutiny, the visuals and music are very appealing."

Nicole Robin, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying the show, and she appeared quite interested in this exotic form of cultural expression.

The movie ended amidst a lively song and dance performance.

When the lights came back on, the audience stood up and applauded, clearly very satisfied with the performance.

It should be said that people from every country have their own different preferences.

"Alright, the movie's over. Shall we go get something to eat?"

Uchiha Hakuba stood up and dusted off his clothes.

"I heard there's a nice restaurant around here."

"Yeah!"

Upon hearing the word "food," Matsumoto Rangiku's eyes lit up instantly.

"I'm starving!"

"Let's go then."

The group of people walked out of the theater with the flow of people.

However, as soon as they stepped out the door, they were stunned by the sight before them.

The square in front of the theater was packed with people, holding various signs and flowers, excitedly shouting a name.

"Alicia! Alicia!"

"Goddess! Goddess, look this way!"

"My God, this is too exaggerated."

Matsumoto Rangiku was taken aback by the scene: "Is this how celebrities are treated here?"

"It seems the movie she just watched has boosted her popularity even more."

Uchiha Shiraha said calmly, while subtly glancing at the woman.

Unfortunately, just as he knew in his previous life, female celebrities without power or influence could not escape their fate.

At that moment, the crowd became even more agitated.

Alicia looked a little pale, but when she saw the fans' excitement, out of professional ethics, she forced a sweet smile and waved to everyone.

Alicia! We love you!

The cheers from the fans grew even louder, and a few enthusiastic fans even tried to break through the bodyguards' blockade and rush forward.

"These fans..."

Matsumoto Rangiku frowned.

"Can't they see that Alicia is feeling unwell?"

“In their eyes, Alicia was a perfect person, an object of their fantasies.”

"It's really sad."

Nico Robin sighed, a hint of sympathy flashing in her eyes.

Just as Alicia was about to board the bus, she seemed to sense something, and her gaze pierced through the crowd, looking in the direction where Uchiha Shiraha was.

Eyes facing each other.

Without a word, Alicia saw Uchiha Shiroha as nothing more than a handsome stranger, completely unaware that if it weren't for him, she might have been embarrassed on the spot.

Uchiha Hakuba withdrew his gaze and turned to walk in the opposite direction.

"Let's go eat."

Hey! Wait for me!

Matsumoto Rangiku, Connor, and Nico Robin quickly followed.

……

Inside an elegantly decorated restaurant.

Several people sat around a table, which was filled with various exquisite dishes.
