Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 378: Qingmei is no match for the one who descended from the sky? (Seeking monthly votes~)

"Is this where the famous singer Uta lives?!"

"So dilapidated~"

Above Elegia, Red, Luffy, Chopper, Jinbe and Brook, the five of them stood inside a barrier created by super powers.

"Luffy's childhood sweetheart lives in such an environment!?"

"It's hard to imagine that such beautiful singing can come from a place like this."

"No, no, no... In our time, the Kingdom of Elegia was a world-renowned music kingdom."

"What is truly unimaginable is that... this country that has produced countless masterpieces actually hides a demon that can destroy the world."

Looking at the dilapidated ruins of the Kingdom of Elegia below, Chopper, Jinbe and Brook immediately sighed.

At this moment, Luffy's face was full of self-blame, and his fists were clenched secretly.

"I...always thought she lived a happy life." He sighed softly.

Because the Straw Hat Pirates are now strong enough for them to be a little willful, and Vegapunk wants to study the power of the Song-Song Fruit, so Red also told all the information about Uta to everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates.

After listening to Uta's experience, Luffy, who was always laughing, suddenly put away his playful mind, and immediately followed Akane and the others here.

"I made a decision……"

Looking at the ruins of the Kingdom of Elegia below, Luffy suddenly spoke:
"Red, I want to invite Uta to be our partner!"

"I must……"

"Save her from that devil!"

At that time, Shanks and his friends took Uta out to sea, and when they came back, Uta was no longer there.

Shanks told him that it was Uta who got off the ship.

Although Luffy was sad for a while at that time, he always thought that Uta had found a world that was more suitable for him to live in.

He never thought that such a thing would happen to Uta.

"No problem, my captain~"

Chihong smiled slightly, and the wave power on his body radiated towards the entire island like water ripples.

Almost instantly, he found the figure he remembered.

"it's here!"

His red eyes flashed.

The next moment, a faint pink light from super power suddenly flashed across the entire protective shield.

As the light turned, the figures of Chihong and others disappeared instantly.

……

……

at the same time.

In the ruins of the palace of the Kingdom of Elegia, in a room that belonged exclusively to Uta.

Uta, a little girl with long red and white hair, sat in a daze in the dim room, tears streaming from her eyes, and she looked at the projection screen in front of her with shock.

"What...what's going on!?"

Uta covered her mouth in disbelief, as if to cover up her breathing.

Because of some childhood experiences, Uta lived in this dilapidated country with her teacher Gordon at a very young age.

So many years have passed, although she never believed that Shanks would use her to get close to this country just for the country's treasure...

But the fact that the Red Hair Pirates destroyed the entire Kingdom of Elegia has always been a puzzle in her mind.

As time went by, under the test of time, Uta had already hidden this matter deep in his heart, and he even planned not to think about it for the rest of his life.

And she also planned to spend the rest of her life on the small island of Elegia.

But a year ago, ever since she found a live broadcast telephone bug that could connect to the outside world at the beach...

A lot of changes have taken place in Uta's world.

When she connected with the world for the first time, she suddenly found that her singing seemed to have other uses besides being beautiful...

Her singing can become a spring that nourishes people's hearts and a medicine that erases pain.

Under Uta's singing, many people in the world who are experiencing hardships have happy smiles on their faces again.

And this also made Uta seem to have found the meaning of his existence!
Use your singing to help more people become happy!
This is her life goal now.

however……

All of this was shattered today!
Uta never thought...

It was not the Red Hair Pirates who destroyed the entire Kingdom of Elegia.

Instead, they are the heroes who saved this country.

"Why……"

Uta covered her face and cried, speaking in a low voice.

In a dark room.

The little girl, who had just felt that her life was moving forward again, felt as if fate had grabbed her throat. She had no power to resist and could only sob and choke softly.

But at this moment...

A beam of bright light cut through the darkness of the room like a sharp sword.

Call ~
A light breeze blew by, making the curtains rustle.

At the same time, it also drew Uta away from her grief.

Hearing the unexpected noise, Uta immediately turned around and looked out the window.

Soon she saw a young man wearing a baseball cap stepping on the window sill and jumping into the room.

"You...who are you!?"

When Uta suddenly encountered a stranger, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

But she soon calmed down, and even felt a little curious.

As a user with abilities that are extremely suitable for the Waka-Song Nomi, Uta's strength is not as good as she looks.

Chihong, who had entered Uta's room directly, also stood where he was, using his eyes and smile to indicate that he had no ill intentions.

"Sorry to bother you so suddenly, Uta."

"But I didn't expect that the timing would be so clever, in order to prevent you from having any bad thoughts..."

"So I just came here uninvited!"

As he spoke, Chihong pointed at the projection on the wall.

Although the picture has become blurry due to the lighting, you can still vaguely see the red-haired figure fighting the terrifying demon king.

Snapped!
Uta suddenly reached out and turned off the projection Den Den Mushi.

Then she raised her head in surprise and questioned Chihong:
"Could this Den Den Mushi be yours!?"

"No, no, no~" Chihong retorted with a smile, "I just arrived on this island."

"But I have to say, the appearance of this Den Den Mushi really caught us off guard."

Chihong chuckled and walked into Uta's room.

Although Red was also born in Windmill Town, he had not yet traveled through time at that time. He was just a little kid who knew nothing. Naturally, he did not dare to have anything to do with the pirate group that suddenly came to the village.

So he and Uta can be said to be complete strangers.

At most, we met once or twice when we were young.

But the next moment, the appearance of an arm suddenly made Uta's eyes widen.

"Why are you so anxious all of a sudden, Red!?" "Aren't we going to look for Uta!?"

Luffy, who had been chasing all the way, grabbed the window sill of the room with one hand, then his whole body suddenly bounced back and entered the room.

The next moment, the two people who had never thought of meeting again in this way suddenly looked at each other.

When their eyes met, it seemed as if time had stopped and everything stayed at this moment.

But soon, Luffy, who was not understanding of romance, pressed down his straw hat with one hand, then jumped into the room with a big laugh.

"Uta!!! You are really here!!!"

Luffy stepped forward and came directly to Uta's window, once again blocking the sunlight that had finally entered the room, leaving a shadow covering Uta's body.

But at this moment, Uta actually felt a familiar and warm breath in this shadow.

Uta, who had just experienced great ups and downs in life, had not yet had time to be troubled by the darkness of her childhood, when she was suddenly attracted by the person in front of her.

"Luffy!?"

Uta, who recognized Luffy's identity, screamed in surprise.

Luffy also showed his signature smile.

"Whee!"

"Long time no see, Uta!!!"

Although he knew what happened to Uta, Luffy did not show any abnormal expression at this moment. Instead, he looked relaxed and happy, as if he had seen an old friend after a long separation.

"It's really you...Luffy!?"

When Uta saw his childhood playmate, he suddenly forgot the unpleasantness just now. He jumped directly from the bed and threw himself on Luffy.

Childhood sweethearts meet here again after ten years of separation.

Seeing this, Chihong on the side quietly picked up the camera that had not been used for a long time, used his super powers to block out the sound of the shutter, and recorded the scene in front of him.

At the same time, a thought inexplicably popped up in his mind.

"Green plums are not as good as those dropped from the sky..."

"But if it's Green Plum + Heaven Drop... How are you going to crack it?!"

If they can get rid of the inner demons in Uta's heart in the future, this person will be their future captain's wife! ?

Take Goku and Chi-Chi from Dragon Ball for example...

With Luffy's carefree and thoughtless personality, he might actually end up being a couple with Uta~
"In this case, it doesn't seem to matter if Hancock is dumped by me!?"

Chihong, who no longer had to worry about the Monk family having no descendants, smiled knowingly, and immediately reduced the traces of his existence to the minimum, leaving space for the two who were reunited.

But the next second, the two of them suddenly jumped back in tacit understanding, and then laughed loudly facing each other:
"Luffy, how about a long-awaited match!?"

"Okay! But there's no way you can beat me!"

"What are you talking about? I've beaten you 183 times in a row!"

“Eh!? I’m the one who won 183 times in a row!”

"Hmph~ You're a loser!"

"certainly not!"

"Hey, I know a great place for a competition! Follow me!!!"

"Okay! Let's compete!"

It was totally unlike the two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time, so after a heated argument, they immediately ran out of the room.

Chihong was the only one left standing in the room, with a playful smile on his face.

"I can even remember the number 183 times so accurately..."

"Luffy, it seems you can't avoid your debt of love."

As he spoke, Chihong's eyes turned and suddenly looked at the projection Den Den Mushi left by Uta on the bed.

Although I don't know if Uta is really too happy to see Luffy, I still don't know how to explain this to Luffy...

"But for a little girl who is less than ten years old to bear these things that do not belong to her, it is abnormal no matter how you look at it!?"

Peng! ! !
As Chihong's mind moved, the projection device embedded in the shell of the projection Den Den Mushi shattered instantly, making a slight explosion, which scared the Den Den Mushi that was originally resting.

After doing all this, Chihong walked out of the room.

He didn't want to interrupt the conversation between the captain and Qingmei, but fortunately there was another person he wanted to meet on the island.

……

……

In the kitchen of the dilapidated castle.

Gordon, who was once a king, was now wearing an apron and a chef's hat, busying himself with something in front of a pile of pots and pans.

"Uta still has her weird live broadcast in the afternoon, so try to have something light at noon."

"But... let's prepare some ingredients for dinner."

Gordon, who has been a nanny for ten years, has now mastered various kitchen skills.

Although the food is not particularly delicious, it is eye-catching enough.

However, at this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the kitchen door.

"Um!?"

Gordon, who was extremely sensitive to music, suddenly stopped what he was doing and was stunned for a moment when he heard the footsteps outside the door that were completely different from Uta's.

After all, this island has only had him and Uta since ten years ago.

Even passing ships are rarely seen, let alone landing on the island and going deep into it.

"who!?"

Just as the footsteps got closer, Gordon picked up a boning knife from the stove and looked outside the door.

As he is not a chef, he doesn't have the idea of ​​"kitchen utensils must not be contaminated by dirt".

But the next moment, the appearance of a figure made his expression freeze.

"You...you are..."

Gordon's arm trembled.

Unlike Uta, who turned a deaf ear to the world outside and focused on music, Gordon would buy a bunch of recent newspapers every time he went to the surrounding islands to purchase supplies to learn about the world's situation.

The main reason is to know whether the Red Hair Pirates have completed their mission and come to bring Uta back.

When Gordon saw the person in front of him, he recognized his identity almost instantly.

"…The Vice Captain and Trainer of the Straw Hat Pirates, Red!!!"

"Why are you here?!"

He had never expected that a big pirate would break in here directly, and his brain instantly froze.

But Chihong grinned, stepped forward and said:

"You should be able to easily guess why I came here, Your Majesty Gordon..."

"Of course I came here for the mysterious music that can summon the Demon King of Song!"

"I remember... its name seemed to be Toka-something!?"

"Sorry, the name is too convoluted, I really can't remember it clearly."

"But the piece of music should be in your hands now, Your Majesty Gordon."

Chihong stepped forward, and every word he spoke was like a hammer, hitting Gordon's heart.
