The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

Uta couldn't help but exclaim loudly, his eyes filled with excitement.

hum! ! !

Just as the Demon King of Songs' enormous arm, resembling piano keys, was about to smash down on Luther, a large burst of golden flames suddenly erupted from it.

In an instant, his palm was burned to ashes.

"Wow!"

Uta let out a gasp.

She also realized at that moment that Luther was much stronger than she had imagined.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Demon King of Song's arm regenerated, Luther dodged all of the Demon King of Song's attacks and stood steadily on the huge black hat on the Demon King of Song's head.

hum! ! !

After he landed, golden flames erupted from his back again, and the arm that the Demon King of Song was about to attack him burned away once more.

With an indifferent expression, Luther stepped on the head of the Demon King of Song, his unparalleled Conqueror's Haki radiating downwards intimidating power.

boom!!!!

In an instant, the Demon King of Song lost his composure.

Luther wore an expression of utter certainty, and at the same time shouted to Uta:

“I’ll take control of it, Uta. You try to fight it for control, just like it tries to take over your body.”

"Ah, how should I begin?"

Uta remembered the feeling from before, but now she didn't know how to get into that state.

"Music, your fruit is the fruit of song!"

Upon hearing Luther's words, Uta suddenly understood and nodded emphatically:

"I understand!"

As soon as Uta finished speaking, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes slightly, and began to sing.

The song that came from her mouth was both intense and uplifting, full of power and determination.

Surprisingly, the Demon King of Song below also started singing almost simultaneously with Uta.

Uta's singing was like a war drum, stirring and powerful.

However, the melody of "The Demon King of Songs" is like a gloomy night wind, low and eerie.

Luther listened to the two completely different tunes, but his expression remained unchanged.

He came up with this method as soon as he discovered that Conqueror's Haki could control the Demon King of Song.

To put it simply, although the Demon King of Songs is powerful, he still has to follow the basic principles of Devil Fruits.

The Demon King of Songs' power is built upon Uta's strength.

If it were Uta in the future, with sufficient physical strength and fruit development, and the Song World having absorbed enough souls, then the Demon King of Song might even possess the strength to rival several generals.

However, if it's just Uta now, the Demon King of Songs' strength is only at the level of a newly promoted general.

Shanks couldn't withstand the onslaught, but he was no match for them.

If we don't take care of the Demon King of Song now, even he will find it troublesome later on.

As the Demon King of Song and Uta sang together, their voices gradually merged into one, though the melodies were different, the pronunciation was the same.

At the same time, one of the two bell-like eyes of the Song Demon King has transformed into the shape of Uta's eye, full of life.

Because of this change, the tunes sung by the Demon King of Songs are much softer and no longer so eerie.

If it were the uncontrolled Demon King of Song, Uta would inevitably be controlled by him.

But if it were the Demon King of Song who was under control, he would only be a lamb to the slaughter, gradually devoured by Uta.

"what!!!!"

As Uta's final high note faded, both the Demon King of Song and Uta fell silent.

Logically speaking, Uta should have controlled the Demon King of Song at this point.

But Luther frowned slightly as he looked at Uta, who still had his eyes closed.

That shouldn't be the case...

He didn't have to wait long before Uta suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ok?"

Luther looked into those lifeless eyes and let out a soft "hmm".

Judging from the looks of it, Uta not only failed to control the Demon King of Song, but was instead controlled by him.

However, a smile soon appeared in Luther's eyes.

Uta slowly raised his arm, and the Demon King of Song moved accordingly, grabbing towards Luther.

Seeing this, Luther showed no regret whatsoever; instead, he chuckled and said:

"If the Demon King of Songs is attacked, will you feel pain?"

"meeting!"

Uta tilted her head and looked at Luther, a cold smile playing on her lips, and her arm, made of piano keys, suddenly fell towards Luther.

"Ugh, he's such a worry."

Luther sighed softly, the fire of the sun did not appear, and he casually dodged the attack, appearing in front of Uta.

Raising his hand, Luther lightly tapped Uta's forehead with his index finger, a smile playing on his lips:

"I'm not Shanks. Even if I'm not strong enough, I'll stay here with you until the very end after you've committed a crime!"

Although it was unclear how much Uta knew about Shanks' actions, he believed his words were not problematic.

"Is that so...?"

Uta lowered her head slightly, her bangs obscuring her eyes, which were filled with negative emotions.

Her control over the Demon King of Song went smoothly, without even being affected by his negative emotions.

But after experiencing something once, she no longer trusts it as much.

"Luther, then I'll follow you. If you ever abandon me, I'll kill you!"

Uta chuckled, but his words were chilling.

Fortunately, Luther was no ordinary person either; he simply smiled slightly and placed his large hand on Uta's head.

"Words are too few; let's prove each other with our actions."

"it is good!"

Uta grinned, raising his dull eyes to look directly at Luther, a strange light shining in them.

Squeak!

At the same time, the surrounding world is shattered like a mirror.

The once intact Eregia has been restored to its damaged state, the Demon King of Song has disappeared, and only the pretty Uta remains standing in front of Luther.

"You must have something on your mind."

Luther, noticing Uta staring blankly into the distance, stood beside her and asked.

"Shanks..."

Uta muttered to herself, her tone filled with resentment.

The deeper the love, the greater the hatred after being abandoned.

Leaving her alone to face the Demon King of Song, that's Shanks for you, that's what the other person calls a comrade...

"Do you want him to go through another choice between his friends and himself?" Luther suddenly asked.

Uta and Shanks have a deep bond. He is unaware that Uta actually witnessed Shanks leaving, and only thinks that Uta harbors resentment towards Shanks for abandoning him.

Is there any way?

Upon hearing this, Uta looked at Luther with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

"If it's your request, I can fulfill it."

Luther smiled slightly, gently stroking Uta's hair in his hand.

Uta stubbornly and earnestly raised his head and said, word by word:

"Luther, this is my request, please!"

"Ah, as you wish!"

Chapter 275 Dangerous Game

East China Sea, Red Foss

News of Eregia's destruction spread quickly, and the newsbirds broadcast the story extensively.

Tear...

Shanks tore the newspaper in half with a gloomy expression, his Conqueror's Haki unconsciously overflowing everywhere.

"Shanks, what's wrong?"

Beckman picked up the torn newspaper and was taken aback when he saw Uta's photo hanging on the torn part.

It was a picture of Uta standing on the ruins with a gloomy expression, in Eregia.

As Beckman looked down, his expression grew increasingly shocked:

"The World Government's hidden trump card? Are you kidding me? This is Uta?"

Even Beckman, who is usually very calm, was taken aback.

"It's not over yet." Shanks' expression darkened further. "The report says that Eregia attempted to summon a demon, leading to the destruction of the nation. As for Uta, his identity has been changed to CP0; he's the one who killed the demon."

"What does the World Government want? To recruit Uta?"
