The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

He will always remember the scene where he almost died, and he will always remember the shots that Yasopp fired at Stella.

But as a son, he would let it go for the sake of Banchina, even if he had to take a few shots.

But if the target is Stella, he will return the favor to her sooner or later!

for sure!

Chapter 272 Landing and Rescue

Don Quixote.

Before long, with the Observation Haki of the people on the ship, they not only sensed Stella swimming towards them, but also clearly saw the massacre in the distance.

"Oh, this is really scary. So it was the Red-Haired Pirates who did this."

Kizaru clicked his tongue in amazement, pouting as if lost in thought.

"Robin, Stella is in your hands now."

As Stella approached, Luther slowly stood up.

Robin nodded slightly, lowered the rope ladder, and helped Stella and the other woman climb onto the boat.

Stella took the towel Reiju handed her and, slightly out of breath, wiped her wet body.

"Your Highness."

Usopp ignored Reiju's offer and knelt down in front of Luther instead.

"Please teach me how to become stronger!"

He still remembers the last time he knelt before Luther.

That time, he wanted to save his mother and vowed to do anything for Luther.

This time, however, he deeply felt his own powerlessness and for the first time wanted to become stronger and take control of his destiny.

He didn't ask Luther for help; he would bear his own hatred himself, which had always been his belief!

"Want to become stronger? I'll give you a chance. Whether you can hold on or not is up to you."

Looking at Usopp's resolute expression, Luther gave his answer.

Now, after what just happened, Usopp has probably taken on his original form.

Shanks' attack on the merchant ship, witnessed by Usopp, was an unexpected bonus.

But right now, he's more interested in today's main course.

The Don Quixote continued its journey, and Usopp and Stella were taken to the ship's cabin by Robin and Reiju.

The weakest person standing on the entire deck right now is a lieutenant general like Smoothie.

Shanks, who was in the distance, left under the cover of night after cleaning up the merchant ships.

Throughout the entire ordeal, they never sensed Don Quixote's arrival.

With Luther and several other top-tier fighters actively concealing their presence, coupled with the Donquixote's camouflage coating, Shanks and the others, with their Observation Haki, could hardly sense anything.

Luther watched the red-haired pirate ship leave without doing anything.

Today's main event isn't Shanks; Shanks' matter isn't urgent, the other side will have their turn later.

Under the cover of night, the Don Quixote quietly docked at the port of Elegia.

"Gordon, it's been a long time. Is this an outcome you can accept?"

Looking at Gordon, who looked somewhat disheveled at the port, Luther said unhurriedly.

His words were like a sharp blade piercing Gordon's heart, making the bitterness on his face even more pronounced.

"Your Highness, I was obsessed. Please make the Demon King of Song stop. Uta is innocent."

"As you wish."

Luther nodded slightly, slowly disembarked, leaving Hancock, Smoothie, and Gion behind, and led the other two admiral-level combatants toward the interior of Eregia.

Facing the Demon King of Song, who can pull the entire world into a dream, he could not be too cautious.

If he and the other two are infected, Gion will be his protection.

To completely kill the Demon King of Song, you only need to attack him from both inside and outside simultaneously.

With Gion's strength, they are capable of cooperating with them to kill the Demon King of Song.

Of course, things haven't gotten to that point yet.

As Luther and his companions drew closer, the sounds they heard grew increasingly shrill.

As the group strolled into the banquet hall, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

As if nothing had ever happened, the ruins were restored to their former magnificent state.

"That's truly spectacular."

Luther gazed at Uta in the banquet hall, a hint of amazement in his eyes.

A powerful and strange aura filled the entire area. The Demon King of Song occupied almost the entire field of vision. Its size was so huge that it was almost unimaginable, and its form was so abstract that it seemed to be a being beyond human comprehension.

The Demon King raised his enormous finger, seemingly slowly, yet it gave people a sense of suppressed pleasure.

Countless musical notes, flowing like ink paintings, spread down from its fingertips. These notes were like delicate yet strong threads, extending outwards and connecting to the Uta suspended in mid-air.

The interweaving of these threads and musical notes resembled a peculiar musical score, rising and falling with the changes in the demon king's gestures.

Uta hovered in the air, her face pale, her body tightly bound by threads of musical notes, like a bound doll. Her face was half-human, half-demon, mostly covered by cold malice, with only a trace of girlish innocence remaining.

The whole scene resembled a drama of a demon and its puppets. On one side was the incomparably powerful Demon King of Song, and on the other was the weak but still conscious Uta.

The visuals deliver an unparalleled impact, leaving a lasting impression.

"Wow, this is a world where illusion and reality merge! How terrifying!"

Kizaru let out a gasp, his hands in his pockets, looking nonchalant and showing no sign of fear whatsoever.

Barrett also glanced around casually, without the slightest fear.

Even the Demon King of Songs, who is known as a demon, is nothing more than a little girl in his eyes.

hum! ! !

Luther's overwhelming Conqueror's Haki surged forth like a raging flood, and even the air seemed to freeze.

This sudden pressure caught both Uta and the Demon King of Song off guard, as if they were frozen by this powerful aura.

In that brief moment of distraction, Luther and his companions seemed to have planned it all along, and they acted simultaneously.

Barrett's punch, Kizaru's laser beam, and Luther's slash struck almost simultaneously with overwhelming force at the notes connecting the Song Demon King and Uta.

The moment they saw the Demon King of Song, they noticed the flaw he had revealed.

This opening was like a crack, instantly torn open by their attack.

In that instant, it was as if time had been stretched out, as vibrations and roars came at once.

Under the combined might of Luther and his two companions, the connection points of the musical notes, like a fragile spiderweb, snapped inch by inch.

As the notes broke, Uta, who had been bound by the Demon King of Song, seemed to be thrown out with great force, like a stone being tossed away.

At that moment, Uta instantly snapped out of her dazed state. She felt weightlessness and the wind whistling past her ears.

The feeling of being thrown into the air instantly threw her into a state of instinctive panic.

But soon, she found herself in a warm embrace.

This familiar feeling made her speak out instinctively:

Shanks?

Uta called out blankly.

However, she quickly regained her senses and her expression turned to hatred.

Shanks abandoned her long ago; this person couldn't possibly be him.

"I'm not Shanks, poor girl."

The man who landed slowly from the air spoke gently, his voice deep and soft, making people want to get closer.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Don Quixote Luther."

Upon hearing this self-introduction, Uta slightly raised his head, and from his angle, he could just see Luther's calm and composed expression amidst his smile.

At the same time, she also saw behind her a man dressed as a general and a man in a CP0 uniform. Both of them were expressionless, guarding Luther on either side, as if the whole world had nothing to do with them except for Luther.

Finally, she saw the Demon King of Song roaring madly behind her. His voice was high-pitched but weak, like that of a madman who had lost his mind.

This madman who had lost his mind, this monster who could easily repel Shanks, was completely helpless against them. In fact, he felt an instinctive fear of the three people in front of him.

Uta suddenly revealed a sickly smile, a strange yet beautiful smile blooming on her face.

In that instant, she seemed to have found a new meaning.

In this world, Shanks isn't the only one willing to protect her.

Moreover, the person who saved her this time was not one of those heartless bastard pirates, but a prince with the demeanor of a king.

Once abandoned by Shanks, she was like someone struggling alone in a vast, boundless ocean, every breath filled with despair.

However, just as her life was about to be swallowed by darkness, Luther appeared, like a bright lighthouse, guiding her in the right direction.

Luther could not completely replace Shanks in her heart, but his appearance gave her renewed hope.

He was her savior, the only light that rescued her from darkness and despair.

"It feels so good to be protected!"

Uta thought to herself, greedily indulging in Luther's embrace.

Like a traveler searching for long-lost warmth, finally finding the way home.
