I, a Celestial Dragon!

Your ship is different from Alessia's!

Although I have been performing in Alessia, as a music capital, there are countless people who love music gathering there every moment!

Anyone who has a passion for music will rush to the capital of music to pursue the sounds they need that can bring them happiness, even if they face the threat of storms and pirates!

The me they see live is different from the me they hear on the record!"

Having said this, Uta looked at Gawain with sharp eyes.

And Gawain...

Facing Utana's eyes full of love for music, Gawain's face darkened slightly, and he said in a deep voice.

"Uta, do you mean that anyone who cannot go to Alesia is not qualified to listen to your singing?"

Having said this, Gawain gently patted the little girl's head.

“Alessia is in the New World, a place that 99% of the people in this world will never be able to reach in their lifetime!

Not everyone has the courage to leave their hometown, abandon everything, and rush to the legendary music capital in the face of storms and threats of pirates!

Compared to those lucky fans who can hear your singing in the music capital, there are millions of people in this world who will never be able to go to sea in their entire lives!

Those people can only endure the hardship in their hometowns and use the money they have saved for a long time to buy a record of yours as a solace! "

Gao Wen looked at the little girl with eyes full of unspeakable emotions. He gently stroked the little girl's head and continued.

“If you continue to stay in Alessia, you will still have to forget all the fans waiting for you around the world, but on my ship, little girl.

You can travel around the world with my ship, and I can help you build a stage on every island we pass by.

With my financial resources, I don't even need your fans to pay for tickets. No matter they are poor or noble, they all have the opportunity to hear you live!

Don’t you want to bring happiness to every fan around the world?

Then you should think about it carefully!

Who are the people who can enter the Grand Line from the four seas, then rush to the New World from the Grand Line, and finally come to your Alessia to listen to music?

Those who simply own their own boats, or have the financial resources to buy tickets for long-distance voyages...

Do they really need you to bring them happiness more than those people on the Grand Line and islands around the world who can't even afford a ship ticket?

If you really still have the dream you talked about, then you should at least open your eyes and see who in this world needs your voice the most, Uta! "

After he finished speaking, Gawain withdrew his hand and looked at Uta expectantly.

As for Uta...

She lowered her head and thought hard about everything Gawain had said.

Yes, the sea is so dangerous, going out to sea is a difficult choice for everyone.

Compared to those who have the opportunity to reach Alessia, the rest can only stay in their own islands and villages for their entire lives.

Aren’t they the ones who need happiness the most?

For a moment, Uta's mind flashed back to the scene of his childhood when he was still with his father.

It was also at that time that I met the silly Luffy.

I stayed with my father in the Windmill Village of the Goa Kingdom in the East Sea. Ninety-nine percent of the villagers there had never left the Windmill Village in their entire lives...

Have they...really heard their own singing?

At the same time, looking at Uta whose eyes were becoming increasingly confused, Gawain squatted down with a smile.

While squatting in front of Wuta, Gao Wen reached out and gently tidied up Wuta's hair.

This little girl in front of me is only thirteen years old. In the next five years, she will become the boss in the One Piece movie...

What kind of life would turn her from her current innocent and simple appearance into a BOSS-level girl?

Is it really necessary for a little girl of thirteen or fourteen to endure that kind of life?

As he thought about it, Gao Wen patted the little girl's head.

“Don’t hesitate here, Uta, just stay on my ship from now on.

This is just a ship, not a prison. If you want to go home, we can always go to the New World.

How can staying in Alessia compare to going out and seeing the world?

What's more, aren't you very unhappy about your father abandoning you to go out to sea?

So if you stay in Alessia, can you wait for your father?

And I, just imagine that one day I will meet Shanks, a hero who roams the seas, and I will eventually stand in front of him.

By then, you can also follow me and speak loudly to Shanks about your dissatisfaction with him!

What do you think? "

"me……"

Uta really had no idea, no matter how firm her goals were in the future.

Now, she is just a thirteen-year-old girl...

So, the confused Uta looked at Uncle Gordon not far away with a look of seeking help.

Noticing Uta's eyes, Gordon lowered his head and broke out in a cold sweat.

Uta is the most important character in all his plans!

But this time he was facing the Celestial Dragons, the same Celestial Dragons that had fought against Whitebeard before!!!

So Gordon raised his head nervously, then forced a smile, intending to make one last effort to explain something to Gawain on behalf of Uta.

Unexpectedly, before he could open his mouth, Gawain raised his hand and made a stop gesture to him.

"This is a matter between Uta and me. You have no right to butt in."

After saying this with a smile, Gawain turned to look at Uta, then he walked up to her and gently held her little hand.

"If you feel hesitant, it means that both my proposal and your original plan have their merits for you.

In that case, I will decide for you, Uta!"

Having said that, Gawain reached out his hand and gently picked up the little girl.

Of course, he used the posture of holding a child.

Feeling that she was sitting in Gawain's arms, Uta was completely stunned. Before she could say anything in shock, Gawain spoke directly to her.

"From now on, you will be the chief musician on the Xuanniao. I am looking forward to your future singing and your new songs, Uta.

As for me, I am Gao Wen, just call me by my name, you don’t have to call me Gao Wensheng anymore!"

After saying that, Gawain looked at Uta in his arms. Facing Gawain's gentle gaze, Uta's eyes suddenly turned red.

Once upon a time, many years ago, her father held her in his arms and stood at the bow, looking out at the vast ocean with her...

So, in the endless recollection, Uta held back her tears, pursed her lips, and hummed in a small voice.

Hearing Uta's voice, Gawain smiled with satisfaction, and then he quickly shouted to Shirahoshi who was extremely surprised in the swimming pool.

"Shirahoshi, come quickly, Uta has decided to stay!"

"Got it, wow, I'm already here, hehe!"

Baixing immediately wagged its big tail and floated towards Uta.

Just as Uta's expression suddenly became disgusting, she was snatched away by Shirahoshi.

Holding little Uta enthusiastically, Bai Xing said to Uta with sparkling eyes.

“Sister Uta, it’s great that you’re willing to stay!

Can I learn singing from you in the future?

I also want to be a sparkling, glittering diva~!!!"

After shouting happily, Shirahoshi happily hugged Uta to his chest.

This time, Uta was completely confused...

"I can't see anymore, I can't see anything, I'm trapped... trapped...!

Help~!!!"

Chapter 161 What a terrible laugh

Watching the interaction between Uta and Shirahoshi, Gawain couldn't help but laugh. Now there was another child on the ship.

In the past, although the little girl Shirahoshi felt nothing, that was because she had just left Fishman Island not long ago and was full of novelty about everything.

After a long time, Bai Xing slowly realized that she was surrounded by adults and old men, and she naturally felt lonely.

No matter how adults coax her, she will never be happier than playing with other children!

As for Uta...

At this time, Uta was dancing and climbing out from Bai Xing's chest. Although she looked arrogant, she was probably very happy in her heart.

When Uta was a child, her only travel experience was a trip to the East China Sea with Red Hair.

When Red Hair decided to return to the New World to fight for the throne of Pirate King, he no longer dared to bring Uta with him.

After that, I don't know what kind of life Uta led.

But she won't be very happy.

Because only unfortunate people know what it feels like to be unhappy.

Like every comedy master, he has symptoms of depression to a greater or lesser extent.

The reason why he is good at bringing laughter to others is that he himself has not laughed for too long. The more unhappy he is, the more he knows what unhappy people need...

Thinking of this, Gawain clapped his hands lightly.

“Welcome the musician Wuta to join Xuanniao. We can always ask Wuta to request songs from us from now on.

However, please remember to prepare snacks to feed our Miss Diva!

Also, we will continue the banquet tonight, both for Uta and Mr. Yixiao!"

As soon as Gawain finished speaking, Bai Xing's attention was directly attracted to the banquet. She held Uta and came to Gawain and asked in a low voice.

"Sir, can I secretly drink a little wine tonight? You never let me drink, but I really want to try it again!"

"Since you've already asked me, then don't use the word 'secretly'. And let's try it again. What is the situation...?"

Gao Wen asked Bai Xing with amusement.

Hearing this, Bai Xing leaned down with a smile.

"You fed me a glass of wine on Fishman Island, so you agree, right?"

While talking, Bai Xing accidentally forgot about the Uta on his chest, and the Uta fell down in circles.

As luck would have it, with a plop, Uta happened to be riding on Gawain's neck.

At this moment, Uta was like a lost little animal, huddled together nervously.

Gawain smiled and looked up, and when he caught a glimpse of Uta's tense face...

His eyes rolled, and then he carried Uta on his back and trotted towards the swimming pool.

"Hey, are you ready for a swim, Uta?"

"Why?!!"

Uta was horrified, but before she could comment, Gawain leapt high toward the swimming pool with her on his back.

In the air, Uta screamed and hugged Gawain's head tightly, even clamping her legs together tightly.

And Gawain, laughing, took Uta with him and rushed into the swimming pool with a splash.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle~.

Uta suddenly emitted a series of bubbles. Fortunately, Gawain picked her up from the water the moment he entered the water.

Holding Uta with one hand, letting her float on the water, Gawain smiled and pinched Uta's cheek with his other hand.
