Chapter 399 Music
In fact, the Dawn Pirates started to promote the concert half a month ago. Maybe it was because the past life was too depressing, and now it is rare to have a leisure mood. Many residents of the Flower City who are free are eagerly looking forward to the start of the show.

Even from [-]:[-] p.m., snacks around the concert venue appeared one after another, such as takoyaki, taiyaki, fried noodles, special fried meatballs and other snacks, and there was already a long queue of famous food stalls.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have divided the eating area and charged the booth fee." Eric said rather annoyed, as if he had lost [-] million yuan.

Kuang San smiled slightly: "At least the residents of Flower City have expectations for this performance."

"It's not just the residents of the City of Flowers." Scatha said, "People from other regions also came to watch."

"During the promotional period of half a month, the news of the concert was enough to spread throughout the entire Wano country. Eric also abolished the restrictions on the entry and exit of the Flower Capital, allowing people from other regions to enter and exit the Flower Capital."

Erza continued: "The living standards of the people of Wano Country are indeed getting better and better."

In the past half a month, the development of Wano Country has been booming. In the factory area in Nozomi, a small half of the factories have already started operation, and the remaining factories are also under urgent construction.The wages of workers have been greatly improved from zero to fifteen silver per day.

However, while the income of the whole people has increased substantially, another problem has also emerged, that is, the gradual increase in prices.

After a large number of gold coins cast from broken gold pillars poured into the currency circulation, the problem of inflation soon appeared; when the whole people had money, the supply of food was also in short supply, and the price of food rose rapidly.

During the rule of Heitan Orochi, Taoyuan Farm only provided food to towns such as Flower Capital and Boluo Town, while the people in other areas survived in a state of starvation.

But now, Eric distributes food to various regions in proportion to the population, causing some rich people to have to increase the price of food, further causing food prices to rise.

Fortunately, the problem was discovered in time, and Eric immediately ordered that the food be sold according to the population limit, but this measure also made most of the people half-fed and not hungry.

The dried persimmon ghost shark proposed to go to sea to hunt sea kings, which greatly made up for the food shortage problem, and finally restrained the rising food price, but the food price was still nearly [-]% more expensive than before.

The members of the Akatsuki Pirates, who are usually scattered in various regions, also gathered together after a long absence today.

"The concert went well, Eric." Just then, a tired voice came from behind.

"Esdes." Eric turned his head: "Your voice sounds a little tired, is it okay?"

"Training the army is tiring." Estes hugged his shoulders: "There are some thorns in them, let me fix them."

Although the word training should not appear here, Eric also tried not to imagine the miserable conditions of those guys: "Thank you."

Then Eric lowered his head and looked at the girl in the straw hat: "Yoshino, do you feel cold in the Suzugo area?"

"No, it's not cold..."

The timid Yoshino stretched out his hand to pull down the straw hat, and felt something was wrong. He put the brim of the hat up with the back of his right hand, and peeked at Eric from bottom to top with a pair of big royal blue eyes.

The rabbit doll [Yoshino] on his left hand waved his arms: "Yoshino is an ice and snow elf, why is he afraid of the cold?"

"Is it okay for Estes' training?" Eric was a little worried: "After all, you are very afraid of pain."

"I, I'm fine." Yoshino shook her head and said timidly, "Esdesan takes good care of me, and I also want to help Ericsan."

"Yoshino's snow is very powerful, don't underestimate her." Estes reached out and wrapped his arms around Yoshino's slender shoulders.

Eric warned: "Esdes, Yoshino is still young, don't use too intense training methods."

"Yoshino is very close to my abilities, don't worry, I will take good care of her."

"That's good."

Yoshino suddenly wanted to become stronger some time ago, and is now receiving special training from Estes in the Ringo area with Kuina.

"Guina, why haven't you spoken today?" Eric asked with a smile, "In a bad mood?"

"Eric—" Guina opened her mouth, and finally said, "I want to change the weapon."

Eric was taken aback, and then looked at Ushikimaru who had been following Kuina: "You won't keep urging Kuina to return Qiushui, right?"

"Hmph, I wouldn't do this kind of thing!" Ushikimaru snorted coldly: "It's just that Kuina has been asking me about the black sword, so I told her the information I know."

"Really." Eric turned to Guina and asked, "Have you made a decision?"

"Yeah." Kuina nodded heavily: "I want to make my own black knife!"

Then Kuina detached the autumn water from her waist and handed it back to Eric.

Eric felt that Hiyori and Ushikimaru were staring at Qiushui, and their nostalgic eyes were tightly wrapped around Qiushui.

"Master Eric." Hiyori suggested, "Can I use a famous sword in exchange for Qiushui?"

"Ok?"

Rihe carefully considered the sentence: "The name of this sword is [Yan Mo], it is the famous sword left to me by my late father..."

"Here." Eric readily returned the autumn water to Hiyori.

"Huh?" Hiyori didn't quite believe her ears. She stroked Qiushui's scabbard carefully, as if she wanted to trace the rich history of Wano Country and the magnificent battle Shimotsuki Ryoma experienced from it.

Eric shrugged: "Don't you want to get Qiushui back?"

"Yes..." Rihe solemnly bowed his head in thanks: "Thank you Eric for returning the autumn water to Wano Country."

"I actually feel a little sorry for Qiu Shui."

"Eh?"

"A black knife cannot be used on the battlefield, but you leave it in the cemetery to rust. Presumably Qiu Shui himself will cry."

"..." Rihe clenched Qiushui in his hand.

Eric continued: "I heard that knives have their own consciousness, but do you really understand Qiushui's mind?"

Hiyori didn't answer.

Silence fell, and the noise of the nearby crowd seemed to be receding, and Hiyori asked himself whether he was doing the right thing.

"Anyway, Qiushui has been returned to you." Eric did not continue to dwell on this topic: "You are free to do whatever you want."



The hour hand gradually points to seven o'clock, and all members of the Dawn Pirates have assembled.

The night gradually covered the entire sky, leaving only a red afterglow in the west.

After everyone cheered up Meijiu, Wendy, and Polchi, they came to the pre-arranged room, and Eric said, "Let's just sit here and watch, this is the special seat."

Finally, at the second when the minute hand reached twelve, on the originally unlit stage, click, click, blue spotlights shone on the center of the stage from multiple directions.

"Amazing!" Da Vinci boasted: "This is the stage I set up for the three of them. The lighting and costume design are all done by me! You can immerse yourself in the music frenzy of the concert!"

"I don't understand art." Estes shrugged.

"..."

Soft music sounded, and Miku, who was among the three, put the microphone to her mouth and sang along with the quiet tune.

In an instant, the singing made the goosebumps all over the audience stand up.

The melancholic tune gradually changed, becoming more relaxed and cheerful, and the lights gathered on the stage became brighter and brighter.

The following is Wendy's solo, but seeing so many audiences on stage, Wendy became nervous again and accidentally sang the wrong lyrics.

'Oops...' Wendy's heart gradually became restless, she also made a mistake in her next sentence, and her body movements also became chaotic.

Obviously I practiced for a month and sang very well in the first two rehearsals, why did this kind of problem occur at the most important scene?
Wendy's eyes were filled with tears, I was the one who screwed up the concert, and also implicated Sister Meijiu and Polki...

Suddenly, Wendy's left hand was clenched by someone.

"Sister Meijiu?" Wendy whispered her name with a voice that even the microphone could not pick up.

That's right, the person who held Wendy's left hand and supported her was Miku.

Miku said in a voice that only two people could hear: "It's okay, Wendy, sing with me."

"The sky is full of stars

Although losing
Although excluded
Although not possible
But still struggling..."

Gradually, the nervousness settled down, Wendy gradually returned to normal, and happily sang with Miku and Polki, enjoying the stage and singing.

"Hmm..." Da Vinci nodded, "Wendy's nervousness has finally calmed down. Miku's on-the-spot reaction was pretty good."

"Is there?" Estes tilted his head: "Why didn't I hear it?"

"You art idiot." Kuang San sneered.

"Don't be noisy." Eric stabilized the emotions of the two: "Wendy will also grow in this concert."

Wendy smiled, and the oppressive feeling that had lingered on her body so far suddenly disappeared like a lie, her mouth gradually became flexible, and her body became lighter.

My heart was pounding, my brain was completely empty, and I sang in harmony with the people around me.

The first section climax ends and enters the short accompaniment transition.

The three people on the stage looked at each other, and the happiness in their eyes was beyond words.

Wendy had a wish in her heart, she wanted to continue singing on this stage with Miku and Polki.

At the beginning of the second part, Wendy and Polki did not sing according to the originally assigned lyrics, but sang together with Miku:
"I have a present I want to present to you
it was a bitterly cold night
It can also make you no longer have any worries.”

While singing, Miku looked at the two in surprise.But that was only for a moment. With her superb singing skills, Miku mellowly matched the voices of the two of them, and they sang together more pleasantly and movingly than before.

The three of them weaved the lyrics in their minds together with their lips.

The emotions of the entire venue continued to rise, and some people even cried because of this song.

"Woo... woo..." Rihe covered his mouth with his hand, and crystal tears rolled down his smooth cheeks.

Eric noticed Hiyori's strangeness: "Hiyori, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Hiyori shook his head: "I just think of my father, my mother, and my elder brother. Don't I just have nothing in my hands now?"

"No, you still have friends, you are not alone." Eric denied, "If you want, you can join our Dawn Pirates."

"..." Rihe was startled, and asked in a trembling voice, "Master Eric, can I really join you?"

"can."

"Of course." Kuang San showed an expression like a little devil: "But you have to be careful with Eric."

"Yeah, he has captured the hearts of many women on board." Egil picked up his hair and played with it.

"Including you?" Eric took a step closer.

"Wait...don't come so close to me!" Egil retreated in a hurry.

Eric looked back at the stage: "This blurred world, let's use these hands to decorate it with colorful colors. Even if we don't get the approval of others, even if we don't have a decent status, our hands will definitely be able to make a difference for tomorrow's future." Someone bring a smile."

"I have a present I want to present to you
It was a lonely night
Still shining in the distance

starry sky”

As if responding to what he said to Eric, the song on the stage came to an end, and Eric also looked up at the right time to look at the stars in the sky.

For the past 11 years, the people of Wano have been unable to see the stars and the moon.

Hearing this, Hiyori was moved to tears and said: "Master Eric, could it be that you did all this for me..."

"No, you are thinking too much." Estes and Kurumi denied at the same time.

……

At the end of the singing, the audience in the audience became emotional, and many people shouted the names of Mijiu and the others.

Music is a very emotional art. In the high-pressure and dark living environment before Wano Country, healing music can save their wounded hearts.

The non-destructive and non-polluting "Although Our Hands Are Empty" restores the audience's spirit and warms their hearts. It can even make people think deeply, re-examine themselves and the country, and see a better side of life.

However, the concert can't just have one song, the rest of the songs were originally planned to be sung by Meijiu alone, but Wendy and Polki, who are addicted to singing, don't want to step down, and Meijiu is happy to sing with them.

Although some lyrics were sung wrong, and some tunes were even out of tune, the three of them were really happy. It was also the first time for Miku to sing a song from her own album with others.

The one-hour concert ended quickly, and the audience left the stage reluctantly, leaving only the Dawn Pirates in the backstage lounge.

Wendy and Polki were like children who did something wrong, they lowered their heads and dared not look at Eric.

Eric asked, "What's the matter with you two?"

Wendy apologized in a low voice: "Brother Eric, we did something wrong."

"What did you do wrong?" Eric denied, "Wendy and Porky sing really well!"

"Huh?" Wendy and Polki were taken aback, while Miku stood beside her smiling and said nothing.

"Are you having fun on stage?"

Wendy replied loudly: "Happy!"

Eric smiled slightly: "Just be happy."

Polki wiped the sweat off his forehead: "I hate it~ I was still worried just now, what if the boss punishes us."

Eric shook his head: "You are my companions, you like singing, how can I blame you."

Eric grabbed the hands of the two and held them up high: "Then, Super Idol is established!"

 Thank you for your recommendation tickets; thank you for the one monthly ticket in the morning of the boss Southwest; thank you for the two monthly tickets of the boss. Zoro; thank you for the 100 rewards of the boss Xiaojilong;
