This is the time known as the Great Pirate Era.
In pursuit of wealth, fame, and power,
countless souls are driven to the seas.
For those who long for adventure,
it is a dream come true,
but there are some among them who seek only to plunder,
leaving an endless trail of chaos
and destruction in their wake.
For the powerless, it is an age of oppression,
where the strong may prey on the weak at any moment.
The Navy, under the World Government,
seeks to stem the tide of piracy,
but even they cannot help everyone.
So in their moment of need, who can the oppressed turn to?
Who has the strength to answer their prayers for salvation?
I don't know if we can make it.
No one is looking out for folks like us.
It's just gonna keep getting worse.
Seems like I'm crying every day.
The Navy's useless.
They can't protect us, and now we're gonna starve!
It's like they don't even care if we die!
No point in blaming them for it.
The pirates are the ones who took our stuff away, you know!
Those jerks! I hate them!
Why do they have to be so greedy?
All they ever do is make people suffer!
Does anyone even care what happens to us?
Please, I can't live like this anymore.
You're the only one who understands.
You have to help us!
I'm begging.
We believe in you.
- Help us. - You can fix this!
You have to!
I know. I hear you.
That's why I'm bringing this world into a new age.
One where you all can be happy.
Gotta say, that's one helluva crowd!
Uta's never done a show in person before,
so this is kind of a big deal.
Her songs on the Transponder make me
wanna rock and roll all night!
And did you see that stage?
I know I'm gonna freak out when she shows up!
I can't wait!
It would seem her popularity has spread to merfolk as well!
But remind me, why are we dressed up?
We're wearing costumes to hype up her show,
and in return, we got a set of these babies for free!
Wow, looks like garbage.
I think it's fun.
And besides, who wouldn't want to support
the world's number one sweetheart?
Is this chick that big of a deal?
I would describe her performances
as an out-of-body experience.
And trust me, I'm an expert.
U! T! A!
Now let's go Uta!
You're pathetic.
I'm gonna take all of your swords, shove 'em up your ass,
roast you alive, and make some shish kebabs!
Like to see you try, curly brow.
It's time for the rockin'!
Hey! Luffy! Pay attention!
Hey guys! Nice to meet you!
Finally!
Sorry. This is a lot at once.
Okay! We ready to have some fun?
This is our chance to move in, boys.
Aw yeah.
Just like you said, she's wide open.
All we gotta do is swoop in and swoop out
and we're set for life.
Ain't your lucky day, Uta!
U! T! A! U! T! A! U! T! A!
U! T! A! U! T! A!
Hey, Luffy!
Wait, don't tell me that little bastard beat us to the punch!
Aha! So it is you!
Hm?
- Uta. Been a while, huh? - Huh?
C'mon, look, it's me!
I don't...
It can't be... Luffy?
There you go! Good to see ya!
Luffy!
Huh?!
Wait, look at his hat.
It can't be! The Fifth Emperor?
No way!
Uta wouldn't be pals with a pirate! Come on!
That's a surprise. Seems Luffy is friends with Uta.
Damn it! No fair! At least introduce us!
Since when are you so chummy with Princess Uta?
Yeah! Tell us!
Since forever! Uta is Shanks' daughter!
Uh-
Huh?
Shanks the pirate?
Not just any pirate, but one of the Four Emperors.
I'll never forget that name.
He's the man who attacked Elegia
all those years ago.
Uta.
So that's why they chose Elegia as the venue.
I did think it was odd.
You're referring to the old legend, right?
In part, but it seems there are
other threads to this story, yet to unravel.
Are you guys part of the show?
So Red-Haired Shanks had a daughter
all this time and no one knew!
And if he's got a kid, that means he's got a weakness!
This is getting good!
We're not crazy enough to take him on,
but some other big shot will jump at the chance!
That means we're gonna be set for life
once they pay up for your pretty little head!
Heat Beating!
Why don't we just cut the middleman
and take the girl now?
- I know you! Branch! - Say what?
I'm Brulee, from the Big Mom Pirates, you little twit!
Who's the other guy?
My name is Charlotte Oven
and I'm the fourth son of Big Mom.
Y'know, this is quite the show. I'm glad we came.
Yes. In more ways than one,
since I didn't expect such a profitable revelation!
Uta, sorry to spoil your concert,
but you're Mama's property now.
Wait.
They've got this.
Back off!
Nobody's laying a finger on Uta!
Not on my watch!
For a musician, the stage is a sacred place.
I will not let you defile it.
I'll be damned, guess this is my kinda show after all!
The Jellyfish Pirates won't lose that easy!
Song of Scratches.
Blizzard Slice!
Kraken Fist!
Guess we're doing this!
Let's wrap this up quick so Uta can get back to singing!
Protect the singing lady, no problemo!
Fish-Man Karate.
Spear Wave!
I hope you're ready for a super steamy smackdown!
Now Gum-Gum Jet Gatling!
Cien Fleurs! Spider Net!
Rock 'n' roll!
Okay! That's enough.
It's nice to meet your friends, Luffy, thanks for the help!
But no more roughhousing please!
"Roughhousing"?
All of you are my fans, right?
So you should get along and enjoy the show!
Wait a sec.
These aren't unruly fans, they were gonna kidnap you!
And they look like the type
who won't take "no" for an answer!
Because we're pirates, and pirates take whatever they want,
even if we have to beat it out of you!
Then quit being pirates, you doofs!
I'll forgive all the bad stuff you've done
if you stop right now.
Come on! Give up all that nasty business
and join up with me!
We're making a better world with
none of the cruelty and violence!
My music will set you free!
Then we'll live happily together in peace!
Peace is a stupid dream.
Now why don't you shut your pretty little trap
before I slice it up?
Hey! I called her first, you keep your hands off!
- Uta! - I got this, Luffy.
I thought you came here to enjoy my singing,
not stop the whole show.
Haha. Sorry, babe, we're pirates.
Money and power speak louder than music to guys like us!
This is awful!
They're ruining the concert.
Those pirates don't care about
anyone but themselves.
What a shame.
In that case, I'll make a song out of you.
Huh?
There's nothing to worry about, you guys.
I made those scary pirates into a fun song!
They can't hurt me and
they won't hurt you, either, I promise!
Take that, pirates!
Uta is nothing like Shanks, even if they are family!
You got strong since the last time I saw you!
So she has Devil Fruit powers now?
If she does, it's news to everyone here.
Ooh, what's this spinny thing?
It doesn't matter! Let's get back to our seats!
Listen up!
'Cause I've got some great news to share with you!
I had a lot of fun with my transponder snail shows,
but they always end too soon.
I couldn't keep it up forever, but this time is different!
This concert will go on forever!
It's a party that'll never stop!
Kyu?
That's right! It'll be me and you, together for all time!
That goes for everyone watching the broadcast
and everyone here at the venue, too!
Let's show the world how much fun we can have!
Hell yeah!
I don't know what that means, but it sure sounds awesome!
It's time to party!
U! T! A! U! T! A! U! T! A! U! T! A!
U! T! A! U! T! A! U! T! A!
And there's one other thing I need to say.
This is a message to all you pirates,
people from the World Government,
and members of the Navy.
Do not try to stop this concert.
My fans just wanna have fun,
and they all deserve to be happy.
If you ruin that for them, then I'll make you pay.
I'm going to create a new era for this world, understand?
My music will bring peace to everyone!
Okay. Here we go. Next song.
Shanks had a daughter all this time.
It seems that Cipher Pol's report was accurate.
She may be opposed to the Great Pirate Era,
but she's still a threat to this world, like any other foe.
The biggest concern is her popularity.
The people love her.
We have to stomp out this fire
before it becomes a full-scale rebellion.
What if she has Figarland blood?
This might not be so easy.
We must prepare, in case Tot Musica returns.
Now there's a grim thought. We can't allow it to awaken.
If that's on the table, then we must take decisive action.
All right.
We just got the order to bring in Uta.
That girl's a damn menace.
That little missy has quite the fan club.
Must be a real charmer.
Now she's got our attention, too.
Enough! This isn't a joking matter.
The target's on the island of music, Elegia.
The same spot Tot Musica was sealed away in ancient times.
All right, so how many are we sending?
Well let me put it this way!
How many ships do you have ready to sail?
That would be 30.
Good! Send them all,
packed with troops and loaded for war!
In the event of...
Keep that capstan going.
Wait for the signal, and then push together.
Don't rush, but put your backs into it!
Anemometer reading is at four knots,
with surface conditions...
I want all gunner crews assembled
and checking your cannons.
Check your barrels for cracks, make sure your vents are clear,
confirm your wheels are mobile,
and make sure you've got plenty of ammunition secured.
Hey guys! Is anyone here getting hungry?
Don't worry! I'll make tons of food
and some other stuff, too!
It's so cute! Can I keep it?
Of course! Everyone deserves to be happy!
I want you all to eat whatever you want, whenever you want!
We're gonna sing, dance, and have fun every single day!
It's like a dream.
There's nothing to fear anymore!
Nothing you can't do!
Stick with me and we'll make everyone's wishes come true!
A new age is here!
Her power's greater than expected.
Looks like we underestimated her!
Red-Haired Shanks' daughter.
Truly a remarkable specimen.
I want her and I want her now.
Plus those insufferable Straw Hats will be with her, too.
Time to get eh-licked.
I'll go to Elegia.
Anyone who lays a finger on my sister will pay.
All of these rare ingredients, here in a flash!
Uta hooked me up with some booze, too.
She said "anything," right?
So does that means she could give us some treasure?
How do you think her powers work?
What the hell?
What kinda Devil Fruit would that even be?
Can't cook with this.
We've witnessed plenty of powers, but none like this.
Luffy, you're friends with Uta.
You have any idea how she can make all this work?
Beats me! Heh, she was always good at singing,
- so maybe that's it! - What?
Luffy might be onto something!
Perhaps she was smiled upon by the gods of music themselves,
and granted mighty powers!
What's up? Is everyone having a good time?
Yeah, Princess! Thanks to you!
With all these rare ingredients,
it's like a playground for a chef!
Everything looks awesome to me!
That's good to hear.
I'd hate to make a bad impression on Luffy's friends!
- Hold up. Is anyone missing? - Nuh-uh.
Are you messing with me? That hat, it belongs-
This is everybody!
So, Luffy, you wanna play a game with me?
There's no way you can beat me anymore.
Oh, come on!
I beat your butt 183 times in a row!
No! I beat you 183 times!
Those are rather divergent perspectives.
What kind of game?
We'd compete in just about anything.
Stuff like knife throwing, or arm wrestling, you name it!
Right! I know exactly what to do! Watch!
We'll have a chicken speed-eating contest.
- How's that? - Great!
But we're still missing something.
Don't worry. I've got it covered!
I'm ready!
Okay.
Three, two, one!
You thirsty?
Awesome! Thanks a bunch!
Uta's the winner!
Oh yeah!
Uta! You cheater!
Uh-oh. He might die.
Oops, sorry!
I forgot you ate a Devil Fruit like me!
Don't be angry!
I want a do-over on that game!
You cheated!
You're such a sore loser!
And since I won, you better tell me where Shanks is hiding!
You know, don't you?
Nope.
You're kidding.
Then why've you got his straw hat?
I'm borrowing it.
Quick question!
Do you mind if I ask where the two of you met?
Huh? She came to Windmill Village
with Shanks and his crew when I was a little kid.
Oh, So you played together
back in your old hometown, how cute!
Yep!
What're you doing? Daydreaming again?
Come sit with me.
Uh-uh, that's boring!
I wanna play a game!
Ugh. Why're you such a baby?
All right, I think I know exactly what game to play.
Chicken Chomper!
Whoever can eat the most before they run wins!
Got it!
Cut that out!
You're going to get hurt, you two!
We won't!
Uta! Luffy!
Eh, let 'em have their fun.
This isn't just a game, it's a matter of honor for them.
Let's go!
Ready?
Three, two, one, go!
What are they competing over, anyway?
It's a test of their pirate skills,
though I don't get the chicken part.
Luffy! Chow down!
You thirsty?
Yeah! Thanks, Uta!
Luffy!
I can't believe he fell for it again!
You still alive down there?
It's not over!
That didn't settle nothing, darn it!
Grow up! You sore loser!
You're the loser, you cheated!
I'm a pirate, dummy!
I don't follow the rules!
And you got distracted during a duel
'cause you're a stupid baby!
Would you stop acting like you're so cool?
You're not a real pirate till Shanks says so.
Shut up! I'm Shanks' daughter,
which means I've been sailing and
going on adventures for years!
I'm way, way, way different than a little snot like you!
- Nuh-uh! - Yuh-huh!
'Kay then! If you're a real pirate,
why don't you fight me?
I'm ready for you any time!
I think that's enough nonsense for today.
You should be ashamed, Shanks!
A real pirate wouldn't bonk kids with his sword!
Oh yeah? What's wrong? You never heard of "tough love"?
But swords aren't tough, they're sharp!
Aw! Did you say "love"?
If you like me so much, Shanks, you don't have to be shy!
What about me?
Y'always gotta climb on me, you clingy little monkeys?
Hey, Uta? Why d'you call him "Shanks"?
Shouldn't you call him "Dad"?
He might be my dad, but as a pirate,
Shanks is my captain!
And he's my hero, too!
I'm feeling so good about beating Luffy,
I think I'm gonna sing!
No fair, Shanks! I wanna go sailing, too!
Nothing personal, kid,
but you're too rowdy for my crew.
But Uta-
Waits back on the ship when we have a fight,
but there's no way you would sit still.
See?
That's right!
I may be little, but I'm Uta,
musician of the Red-Hair Pirates!
And when I grow up,
my songs are going to make a new age,
where everyone will be free!
Star's taking the stage.
You better listen up, Luffy.
It's my turn to sing!
Let's hear it for, Luffy!
Now that I think back, you disappeared suddenly.
Uh-
Is there a story? What happened?
Uh, what was it?
I was always excited when Shanks came to visit the village.
But that day it was different.
Welcome back!
What kinda adventures did you have this time?
Huh? What gives?
Fine! I'll just ask Uta!
Uta! Uta!
If you wanna brag about your trip, I'll listen this time!
Why are you hiding? It's me!
Shanks? Where'd Uta go?
What's that look? Did something bad happen to her?
Nothing to worry about, Luffy.
Uta left the crew to become a singer, that's all.
It was the right choice.
So why'd you stop wanting to be a pirate, Uta?
You used to love the Red-Hair Pirates.
Even if I wanted to be a pirate,
I wanted to be a singer way more!
I mean, look, in just two years,
I got this many fans rooting for my success!
All right.
What about you, Luffy? What are you doing now?
Well, I'm a pirate, obviously!
Of course. That was your dream.
Uh-huh!
And I'm gonna be King of the Pirates.
Hey, Luffy. Why don't you give up on that?
Huh?
You'd be much better off sticking with me.
Your friends are all fans of mine,
so they'd be up for it, right?
I promise you'd have a great time!
Luffy! Are you listening to me?
It was great seeing you again, Uta!
Thanks for all the meat!
I'm gonna head back to the Sunny and take a nap!
Huh?
Listen. I'm glad you're doing what makes you happy!
It's just not for me! Bye!
I won't let you go.
All of you.
You're gonna stay here with me forever.
Don't worry, Luffy will change his mind eventually.
What the hell're you talkin' about?
Uta, I love your singing as much as anyone here,
but forever is kinda-
Nami!
Hey guys!
I found some more naughty pirates!
What should I do?
U! T! A!
U! T! A! U! T! A!
U! T! A! U! T! A! U! T! A!
Okay!
I'll take care of the pirates for you!
Don't worry! Here goes!
I don't want to pick a fight with one of Luffy's friends,
but that's enough.
No more games.
Who the heck're they?
There's quite a few of them!
Arabesque Brick Fist!
Ouchie Finger!
Luffy. I don't want this.
It's your fault for being a pirate.
If you're really my friend, then you'll give up that life.
What're you even talking about?
I'm not gonna do it. This is wrong.
There's no reason for us to fight.
All right, you don't have to fight me.
Just sit there and lose.
Seis Fleurs! Slap!
Cut it out, Uta, this isn't funny!
What the hell are you trying to pull?
Lemme go!
I'm sorry, but I can't let you become King of the Pirates.
Everyone, tell him what you think about pirates!
Pirates burnt my city down!
Pirates killed my husband!
They killed my mom!
Make the pirates go away!
Make the pirates pay! Make the pirates go away!
C'mon, you know Luffy!
He would never hurt innocent people!
Uta! Let them go!
Don't raise your voice at her, pirate! Stay away!
All it takes is a little bit of seawater.
Your powers aren't so scary now!
Hey, stop it!
I've seen enough!
Don't. They'll be fine for now.
We should start preparing for the next phase.
Barrier Ball!
Roo... Rooster?
Mister Luffy, there's something
real scary about Miss Uta!
I don't think we can take her!
She hasn't beat me yet!
A sore loser, just like always!
Huh?
Where'd they go, did they escape?
More pirates in hiding, huh? That's a pity.
Okay, we're safe, but where are we?
Huh?
Well. I didn't think you'd be a fan of Miss Uta, too!
My man!
I'm just a chaperone.
Hi.
For Bepo.
I'm sorry.
Traffy. Nice save.
I wouldn't laugh if I were you, Straw Hat.
If we can't figure out Uta's power, she'll capture us all.
I can take her!
I'm on a 184 win streak, y'know!
Oh, there you are!
- You can't hide! - It's Uta!
What should we do?
Retreat for now.
The pirates aren't so tough!
They're running away!
Let's team up and hunt them down!
I can't get the SWORD transponder snail to work.
Keep trying. If Uta goes through with her plan,
this'll get ugly real fast.
Huh. So, SWORD has their eyes on Uta, too, do they?
Cipher Pol's on the job, too? News to me.
So what? We don't have time start an argument
with another department.
Think you can use your Door-Door power to help us?
I wonder if you know too much.
No more than you.
I could use my power,
but I'd rather save my stamina till we have a better plan.
Fair enough.
So what's the call? We're running out of time.
We'll bolster our numbers.
For now, that's all we can do.
This sucks! She got my whole crew!
They're just stuck on some lines,
so it's probably okay, but I still wanna save 'em.
I know things ain't looking great,
but I'm so honored to give Mister Luffy a lift,
these tears of gratitude are all I can see!
Straw Hat!
Thank you, mister bear!
My freakin head! Ahh!
Stop screwing around! We need to hurry!
There's a whole giant city!
Yeah, being patrolled by those things!
Gentlemen.
You really saved our butts!
- Your name is Luffy? - Yep!
Then that means-
Who're you?
Sonova.
Straight to the point, then.
My name is Gordon and I am the former ruler
of this nation, known as Elegia.
Not much of a nation without any people in it!
You just got a buncha buildings.
That may be true now,
but Elegia was once known as the music capital of the world.
Until all its citizens disappeared overnight.
Really? So what the hell happened to 'em?
It was the work of a famous pirate, or so they say.
Hm?
Let me tell you something about Uta.
After Elegia's citizens were gone,
I raised her in this city, myself.
Wait, what?
But as I said,
the others were gone, so it was only us.
I'm sure she was terribly lonely.
Of course, she put on a brave face around me,
but many times, when she was alone,
I would catch her singing about her lost friends.
I hoped to fill her voice with boundless joy.
I raised her to be the greatest singer
that the world had ever known.
This is important! Are you even listening?
I'm listening, pops, keep talkin'.
Sorry.
Anywho, I guess that explains why Miss Uta
doesn't know about what Mister Luffy's been up to-
Jeez! Sorry!
The greatest question I faced was where and when
to present her sublime singing to the world.
She remained secluded here for years,
so she was ignorant of outside affairs.
But then, the time came
in a way that I couldn't have anticipated.
It was two years ago.
She stumbled upon something by chance.
A new kind of video transponder snail
had washed up on the beach.
Uta started sending her songs beyond the island.
Suddenly, she was free, soaring from its confines.
Before long, she had amassed a countless number of fans.
Her voice reached every corner of the globe,
even as she stayed in this silent, empty city.
Thanks, Uta! You're the best!
I'm all better now!
I don't know what tomorrow will bring,
but I can face it, thanks to you.
It's nothing.
I am just so happy you all like my singing!
But the more people she reached,
the more she learned about the state of the outside world.
Soon, she realized that the Great Pirate Era
was a time of unending war and bloodshed
for many innocent people.
At first, she only hoped to uplift them with her music.
But as time went on, fans started to hail Uta
as some sort of "savior for the downtrodden."
Uta didn't deny them.
I get it. I feel the same way, too.
I'll create a new age, and then, we will be free!
Luffy. Stop Uta's plan before it's too late!
You were her friend, weren't you?
Surely you can do it!
I take it this plan of hers involves the concert?
Sorry!
Bepo!
Bepo?!
Bear guy!
Huh?
Uta.
Gordon. What are you doing with these pirates?
Uta. Tell me why you left Shanks' crew back then.
You said you were his musician.
So why don't you want to go back with them?
Did something happen?
That's enough.
I don't want to talk about Shanks ever again.
Shut up!
You don't need this stupid hat, or the One Piece,
and you don't need to be King of the Pirates either.
I can give you everything that matters.
Stop fighting and enjoy life with me.
You stop! Lemme go!
We could arm wrestle and eat all kinds of food.
Like we did before, right?
Just laughing and living life in peace.
Give that hat back! Then we can talk!
Fine, Luffy. I don't need you.
Not in my new age.
Too bad.
Room! And Shambles!
Huh? Where'd they go?
Thought we had them cornered for sure.
I see. Guess there's all kinds of powers, huh?
It's no biggie!
Let's make it a game!
It's a hunt for runaway pirates!
Lemme go! I gotta get that hat back!
Shut up! You're in time out,
'cause I don't want you doing anything stupid!
Fine, but we can't just keep running away.
Our objective now is to get to the port.
Why?
I noticed quite a few Marines
and intelligence agents in the audience.
What d'you think that means?
It means that the World Government and the Navy
have already noticed Uta's power.
More than that, they consider her to be a threat.
So they were watching her and planning to make a move?
Yeah. The idea's to find someone from the Navy
and get them to talk, so we can find out how-
Hey, come back!
Hm?
Don't worry! We won't die!
My barrier's real strong!
It won't stop rolling, though!
Aw crap! This is too high!
Mister Luffy, I'm begging you!
You gotta hold it in!
Hey, Gordon. Are you mad?
Because I did this concert without asking you?
It's not just a concert, is it?
If you know that, then you'll support me, right?
Not- Not in the way you want.
Must be nice to have that choice, to turn away.
I only want the best for you,
which is most certainly not this! Listen-
Just wait there for now.
If you don't stop this,
the World Government will come for you!
Let them come. I have this.
Tot Musica.
What are you doing with that?
I knew you hid it beneath the castle.
It was waiting for me to find it.
Why didn't you throw it away?
Maybe all this time you've hoped for
the dawn of a new age just like me.
Uta! You can't use that!
Please! No!
Ohh...
Yep, that's a lotta water.
Far as the eye can see.
But what I don't see are any Navy ships.
Oh no!
What's wrong?
The Sunny's missing!
Did somebody run off with your ship?
Sunny!
Su... Su...
Sunny!
- No way! - Whoa, wait!
How did you get so tiny, Sunny?
Did Miss Uta's powers do this, too?
This is getting freakin crazy!
Sunny?
Reports are coming in from the forecastle decks:
no sign of enemies in the vicinity.
Make sure we haven't been followed.
There's always the chance of an ambush.
Prepare for landing!
First deployment will move in...
Armed scouting team 1 has landed
and is moving through the ruins.
No signs of enemy.
Armed scouting team 2...
Scouting team 3's infiltration is successful,
but unable to confirm presence of enemy.
Mission is underway, but unable confirm
enemy presence or even hostile unknowns.
Awaiting further orders.
What happened? No one's moving.
This is armed scouting team 7.
No intel found on Elegian citizens.
Armed scout team 2.
We haven't spotted any hostiles in the vicinity.
This is armed scout team 4
with a message for Vice-Admiral Momonga.
The audience is still unconscious.
You're certain they're not dead?
No, just sleeping!
But they're not waking up, no matter what you do.
And if you kill me, their souls will be lost forever.
I'm sure you think that sounds like a bluff.
But I wouldn't risk it if I were you.
Young lady.
I think I understand how your Devil Fruit power works,
more or less.
We all know what we're up against here.
Great, saves me an explanation!
Okay, well, bye-bye then!
It's all right.
Even if you don't like me, once I wrap this up,
I'll be gone anyway.
I can tell by the scent.
That's a wake-shroom you're eating, correct?
Mm-hmm!
And what is that?
As the name implies,
if you keep eating wake-shrooms, you will never fall asleep.
Though you will die soon enough.
What are you thinking?
You're going to drag the whole audience
into the abyss with you?
Death isn't a big deal.
The soul is way more important than the body, after all.
We'll leave this sick world and enter a new age
where we can live together in spirit!
I would rather not shed any blood, if I can help it.
Is there some way we can make you reconsider, perhaps?
I'd hate to see this world thrown into chaos.
Huh? Are you dumb?
I want everyone to be happy!
Kinda telling you think that's "chaos"!
Misguided or not, seems like you're
not going to budge, even if we ask nicely.
Drawing your weapon isn't "nice."
Not so fast!
If we block out your voice, there's nothing you can do.
Nice try. But you're too late.
Captain Coby! What's the meaning of this?
We need to apprehend her!
Hey! The bad guys are here!
Let's beat them up, together!
Fight for our new era!
These are innocent civilians she's controlling,
so try not to harm them!
Stand your ground, but let's be careful!
No!
Damn it! I'm not making any headway.
You have no idea how stupid you look.
Shut up! You're just as stuck as I am, Mosshead!
Franky, Jimbei, having any luck over there?
I can't budge an inch.
The same for me, I fear.
How about you, Brook?
I'm almost there!
You found a way to get free?
I can almost see them. Miss Nami's panties.
- Really? - You look, and you die!
So here's a thought.
Uta said she'd make us into a song,
and we're stuck on a staff.
If there's some logic to our arrangement,
perhaps we should figure it out.
Huh? You know, now thatcha mention it,
it does seem to be some sort of melody.
Maybe our heads are where the notes are s'posed to be?
In that case, think you could sing it, Brook?
I don't have a view the entire score.
But what I can is Nami's panties.
Totally worth it.
Already figured out the trick to the song?
You Straw Hats never fail to impress!
Huh?
You're here with Blueno? What's happening?
Let's hold off on the details for now.
Here. Can you sing this?
♪ Mi! Re! ♪
Well, I never!
Finally free!
Keep going, Brook! Now, sing the next part!
I'm still a bit confused,
but it seems you've got a grasp of her power.
Hey! Leave me here if you like,
but could you at least free my sister?
Oven, you're too good to me.
We'll free you on one condition.
Cooperate with the Navy till we stop Uta.
♪ Mi. ♪
♪ Mi! ♪
♪ Do re. ♪
♪ Mi! ♪
You have my thanks.
What a wonderful little bear you are.
Thank you, sir!
This sucks. Why won't you let me out?
We still don't know exactly how
Miss Uta's powers work.
If she captures you, we're gonna be in a lotta trouble!
Su-Sunny!
Sunny?
Who are you?
It's good to see you, Luffy! Glad you're safe!
Hey there, Coby!
Wanna be a pal and get me outta here?
How did you know where to find us?
I was able to sense Luffy's presence.
Observation Haki.
After that, I just had Agent Blueno
bring me here with his Door-Door ability.
Get me a Door-Door outta here!
Bleh!
Cipher Pol and the Navy don't usually
conduct operations together, so what's going on?
If I'm going to explain something,
wouldn't you rather I explain Uta's powers?
We've just been walkin' in circles,
and you figured that out?
This may be hard for you guys to believe,
but this world isn't real.
It's more like... like a fantasy.
Huh?
What you're seeing around you is an illusion.
Or rather, it's an imaginary world
that Uta created with her power.
Everyone affected is unaware they're separated from reality.
This is the power of the Sing-Sing Fruit.
Uta can draw people's souls into this world
the second that they're exposed to her singing.
That's why it seems like Uta
has the power to control reality,
because in this world, she makes the rules
and everyone else is powerless.
And all these people trapped here,
it's like we're all dreaming the exact same dream.
Actually, now that you mention it,
Uta talked about having a power like that years back.
Huh?
It all makes sense!
We used to fall asleep whenever she'd sing,
but I never figured out why!
If you already knew that, why didn't you say so?
Guess I forgot!
If we're here, then what's going on in reality?
I don't know exactly,
but our bodies are lying there like we're sleeping.
The bad news is, Uta can control them,
like an army of puppets.
Great, how do we get back?
As long as we're in the world of the Sing-Sing Fruit,
there's nothing we can do to affect reality,
and no way to control our own bodies.
This will continue unless Uta decides to release us
or if she falls asleep.
Every Devil Fruit power has a limit.
She can't just do this forever.
That's exactly right.
Maintaining the Sing-Sing World is surely
an incredible drain on her endurance.
If I used my Door-Door power continuously like that,
I would wear down in no time.
So we just gotta wait till Miss Uta passes out,
then we're all free?
Sorry, that's not likely.
Before the concert started,
she was confirmed to be eating wake-shrooms.
They keep people who eat them from falling asleep.
But that can't last.
She'll run out of stamina soon,
and if no one stops her, then she'll die.
She'll die?
Does she know that?
Sounds to me like the problem
is taking care of itself.
Just the opposite.
The second Uta dies,
this world will be cut off from reality.
But that doesn't mean we'll be released.
Rather, everyone here, including us,
will be stuck, permanently.
That was Uta's plan from the start.
To bring all of her fans to the Sing-Sing World
and seal them in an eternal dream, free of suffering.
I get the sentiment, but that's insane.
'Kay. So do you know how we stop her, Coby?
That's what I came here to find out,
but I'm still not sure.
Unfortunately, we still don't know enough.
But the more fighters we have, the better,
so Helmeppo is trying to gather
all the pirates who've been trapped here.
Also, the Straw Hats are free and it looks like they're
putting some sort of plan in motion.
I'm just glad to hear they're okay!
They were headed for Elegia's castle a moment ago.
Nico Robin seems to know
something about this island's past,
specifically what brought it to ruin.
If there are any records describing what happened,
it might give us a clue about Uta's power
and how to overcome it.
Not much to pin our hopes on, huh?
You unfaithful mossball, put some trust in Robin!
I'm just telling it how it is, fancybrows!
Good news!
The rats told me where to find some books!
Don't worry!
Let's forget about those dumb pirates!
It's our time, nobody can stop us now!
How long do you think we have before Uta dies?
Less than two hours, I would assume.
I'd say these walls are probably soundproof.
I doubt Uta's powers can reach us in here.
According to what those Marines told us,
anywhere beyond the sound of her voice is safe.
Please tell me these aren't all history books.
Where do we even start? We're on a tight schedule here!
Huh?
Three Sword Style!
Ultra Tiger Trap!
Diable Jambe.
Frites Assorties!
Strong Right!
And Weapons Left!
Robin, just look through the books!
- You sure? - Don't worry!
We got your back, so read like there's no tomorrow!
We're almost there.
All the bad people won't be able to hurt you.
Do you read me? Uta has an hour left, at most.
One thing. The video transponder snails
had their souls stolen by Uta as well.
Right now, they're broadcasting footage
from the Sing-Sing World.
They need to be muted to avoid trouble.
The second that someone hears her singing,
they'll be trapped as well.
It's been six hours since
Uta began her concert.
The number of victims are increasing
at an exponential rate.
If things proceed at this speed for as little as an hour,
we estimate that 70% of the world's population
will be pulled into her illusion.
We knew it was bad, but 70%?
This isn't just a threat, it's the end of the world!
Do we have any other means of attack?
Splendid!
Your voice is pretty!
And now, you're coming with me
so you can sing me lullabies every night!
A Celestial Dragon is here!
Saint Charloss is requesting
your presence at his home.
You should be consider this an honor.
So. How much is it for the pretty lady?
Oh, I get it!
You're a World Noble! You must be!
"The Celestial Dragons," right?
I read about you in a book!
You rule the world and enslave people.
Everyone hates your stupid guts!
Listen, if you make an enemy out of him,
this will not end well.
You guys are Marines?
You must've taken leave to come and see my show!
That is so sweet of you!
Never mind that, you will obey Saint Charloss
and accompany us to the holy land.
Nuh-uh.
But everyone is equal here, y'know!
So even dumpy old Celestial Dragons like you are welcome!
"Dumpy"? Execute her!
I've heard enough!
Come on, you guys.
Y'really think those guns are gonna work on me?
If you can't do your job, then you're useless to me.
What's wrong with you?
Hold on, I'm here!
You'll be all better in just a second!
Why are you just standing there, you idiots?
I want her dead! Kill her!
I thought you stood for justice,
but you kill someone just 'cause that jerk says so?
The Celestial Dragons are like gods.
We can't defy them.
Oh, I see!
You're being forced to do this!
You're a victim, too!
Well, don't worry!
The world will be changing soon,
then nobles and slaves
and everyone else will all be equal!
And why the hell would I want that?
Guards, hurry and kill that wench already.
Sorry, nothing personal.
What a shame.
You rotten little wench!
I won't let you get away with this!
If it's the last thing I do!
Don't worry!
You don't have to be afraid of the Celestial Dragons anymore!
Uta! I don't think this is such a good idea!
You've gotta set that guy free!
The World Government will
hunt you down till you're dead!
I told you, it's fine!
I'm sorry, Uta!
I think it's about time I go back home.
I've got sheep to look after and stuff like that.
But thank you! This was awesome!
Hold up! You're not making any sense.
Your life is hard, so it's painful, right?
Why would you wanna go back to that
when you can have fun here?
Hey, wait a sec, what happened to
those pirates I had captured earlier?
Hm?
Uta, stop!
Even if you're trying to help people,
this is still wrong!
Another Marine, huh?
Here to save the Celestial Dragon?
I'm here to save lives and it doesn't matter whose!
You don't have the right to take those people's souls!
You have to bring them back to reality!
Captain Coby?
Huh? Is he famous or something?
He's a hero!
He saved so many people at Rocky Port!
You didn't know?
Huh. That's news to me.
I'm not really up on current events, y'know.
I've spent half my life here on Elegia.
It's nothing.
Don't lose your cool now, hero.
You still have to explain the situation to everybody,
and I'm way too tired to help.
Right.
Listen! Everyone!
The truth is, we're not in reality right now.
This whole world is an illusion!
You've all been lied to!
You're in danger!
We need to get you out of this dream
and back to reality!
Uta. Is that true?
Did you lie and trap us?
I wasn't lying!
And I'm not trying to trick anyone either, I promise!
I just want you all to be happy and safe,
that's why I made this fun place for you to stay!
This is the world you dreamed of, so no need to fear!
I'll bring an end to the Great Pirate Era!
This is a time of peace for everyone!
No more sickness, pain or strife,
and no more cruelty either!
We've got food, games, and you've got
all the time in the world to enjoy them!
You know, maybe I would be happier here after all.
I'm with you!
All right! Now that's more like it!
But I can't. I've got work to do.
I'm telling you, you don't have to work here
and you don't have to study.
Everyone is free now!
I'm not free if I can't leave!
Not everything in my life is bad.
My job helps a lot of people.
What about my family?
This is gonna wreck society.
I know Uta means well, but...
It doesn't seem right.
There's still time.
Cancel this before anyone is hurt and let them go!
Hold on a sec, would you?
What's the deal?
I thought all of you wanted to be free from suffering!
Are you telling me everything is fine?
You were just lying for attention?
You said you didn't want to spend every day
of your lives afraid of pirates!
I heard you!
Just let us go home, damn it!
What's your problem?
Uta is doing this for us!
Well, I don't want it!
Me either!
Shut the hell up!
I agree with Uta!
I want out!
I liked going to school!
Yeah? Nobody cares!
You can't have everything!
Nobody asked for this, okay?
You suck!
Are you picking a fight?
All right, sorry!
I get it! It's okay!
I just need to make this more fun for everyone!
See? This is better, right?
We're all having fun now!
Uta!
There we go!
Everyone's happy and there's no more fighting!
A perfect world!
We'll stay together forever!
What'd she do to Saint Charloss?
We can't allow this to continue. We need to act now!
Even a Celestial Dragon
is caught in the crossfire.
Damn, we barely made it out of there alive.
Who the hell are you?
Uh, it's Blueno.
Coby, did you see Uta?
Kinda.
Sounds like negotiations fell through pretty quickly.
Any luck here?
You tell me!
Now wait a minute.
Nobody said I'd be working with Straw Hat.
Sorry, but I'd rather die.
Yeah, see ya!
Wait a sec, stop!
Don't worry, we'll find a way to beat Uta!
Aw, Sunny.
Any news about my crew?
Still doing their thing, I guess.
If they don't find Uta's weakness,
then we're out of options.
We can't keep hiding.
I can't use my power much, not like this.
I trust my friends. It'll be fine.
Rolling... Exploding Star!
That do the trick?
"The fears and doubts of men
are given form and collectively given the name of Tot Musica.
Now flee, and cower."
Kung-Fu Point!
Mirage Tempo!
Diable Jambe!
Collier Strike!
One Sword Style.
Demon Horse!
Welcome... to the Soul Parade!
Ice Burn!
Fish-man Karate: Sharkskin Palm Thrust!
Radical beam: Giant Slalom!
Uh-oh! It's gonna collapse!
Damn it! Whose idea was it to blow up the whole place?!
Super sorry!
We'll be buried alive!
I already look the part, don't I?
Robin! This way!
Brulee! I know you're in there!
Let us into the Mirro-World, now!
You quit ignoring me!
You realize you need our intel, right?
Otherwise, you'll be stuck here in Uta's little world forever!
Are you okay with never seeing
your precious friends and family again?
Will I see Katakuri if I help?
Uh. Uh-huh.
- Aww yeah! - You made it! Hey guys!
Luffy!
Sunny!
What the hell is that?
Sunny! Our ship!
Aren't you cute!
What kind of mods are we talking here?
Back already? Well that's embarrassing.
Sorry, Oven, I had to.
Well, Robin?
Did you find anything that'll help us defeat Uta?
The answer is complicated.
I did find old records of the Sing-Sing World,
but they said those who are trapped here cannot escape.
No matter what.
However, the situation changes if someone
with Sing-Sing powers uses "Tot Musica."
Okay, so what is that?
An entity from ancient times
created from human emotions.
Loneliness, sadness, the shadows that fall on the soul.
They called it the King of Demons.
Is it some kind of weapon?
The part I read only said to avoid it at all costs.
That doesn't sound ideal,
but you said it would give us a chance to escape?
How does that work?
It seems tricky.
According to the records, when the Demon King is summoned,
it will appear in two places at once.
One here, in the world created by the Sing-Sing Fruit,
and the other in reality.
Although this may not be the intent,
the demon acts as a link between worlds.
The Demon King in each world is seemingly invincible,
but if it's attacked in both worlds at the same time,
it will be defeated and the song world will disappear.
That works for me!
If it's in their records, it must be true,
not that we have another option.
We can give it a try.
Huh?
But we can't do this on our own.
Who's gonna fight the demon in reality?
Everyone who knows what's up is stuck here
and we can't talk to the outside.
We've got Cipher Pol and the Navy, but how would we
coordinate an attack with them?
Wait. The Government won't make a move
with civilian lives at stake.
Even if our intel is good,
it's useless without someone on the other side.
There is someone.
- Huh? - Captain!
Bepo? What happened?
Tiny Bepo and some old guy.
That's Gordon. He's Miss Uta's adoptive father.
And he's on our side?
We're kind of in danger here. Just tell us who it is.
Shanks.
Seriously?
Your idea seems sound enough.
When Shanks arrives, he'll stop Uta in reality.
Tell me, did something bad happen
between Shanks and Uta?
I'm afraid I...
Just say it!
Don't go!
We're not ready to beat Miss Uta yet.
Mister Luffy's gonna mess up the whole plan!
There's not a plan in the world Luffy doesn't ruin.
We'll run out of time standing around.
Might as well join him and finish this.
But Shanks isn't here yet.
We just need to attack at the same time, right?
So I'll start cutting and won't let up.
Then when the other side attacks, it should time out.
If we keep attacking, we'll be just fine, won't we?
Oh man, you're right, I shouldn't doubt Mister Luffy!
The Straw Hats can make miracles happen,
so there ain't no reason to worry!
All we can do is try!
Mm-hmm! Real quick, before we go.
Did something happen to you?
Uh-huh.
What are you doing here?
How many times do I have to beat you before you get a clue?
I haven't admitted defeat.
Aw, Luffy! You sore loser!
Fine, have it your way.
I'll give you one more, for old time's sake.
Ready?
Are you gonna hit me or what?
What you're doing isn't right!
I could say the same to you.
I'm stopping all the pirates.
They've made people suffer for long enough.
It's over.
I don't even get it.
Why do you wanna be King of the Pirates so bad?
To make a new era, same as you.
Luffy!
Roger's execution marked the beginning
of the Great Pirate Era.
And today,
your execution is about to mark its end.
That's Shanks' hat!
No!
What happened?
Last time I saw you, you loved the Red-Hair Pirates!
You were proud to be one of them!
You used to tell me that Shanks was your hero!
What changed to make you hate pirates so much?
It's Shanks' fault.
I did look up to him. Just like you said.
I thought of Shanks as my real father!
And it wasn't just him.
Everyone on that ship was like family to me.
But that was all a nasty lie,
that's just what they wanted me to believe.
As soon as he had the chance, Shanks abandoned me.
He left me on Elegia and didn't even bother to say goodbye!
You're wrong, he told me he left so you could sing!
Another lie!
Magnificent!
Your voice truly is a gift to the world!
And if you would like to hone than talent,
there's no shortage of teachers and musicians here!
If you would grace us with your presence,
then Elegia shall welcome you with open arms!
Well, what do you think?
You seemed to really enjoy singing back there.
Mm. I guess.
You sure you wouldn't rather sing for a big crowd,
instead a bunch of smelly old men on a boat?
It's not like that.
I'll tell you something.
Despite what people say,
things like "peace" and "justice"
don't exist in this world.
Hm?
But your voice? That's real.
That's something that can bring happiness
to everyone, everywhere.
What are you talking about?
If you want, you can stay here.
I'll come pick you up once you're
the best singer in the world, okay?
Never! I'm the musician of the Red-Hair Pirates, y'know!
I like it here,
but if I had to leave you, there's no point!
You're my family!
I'm sorry. It's fine.
We'll ship out tomorrow, okay?
Don't worry.
But something happened that night.
Gordon?
You've woken into a nightmare.
Why is everything on fire?
Where's my family?
They've taken everything!
And the people of this country, they're dead- killed!
Where is Shanks?
They used you to trick us.
Enchanted by the sound of your voice,
we welcomed you only to have our treasures stolen!
They did this?
They are pirates after all.
They've been lying your entire life, Uta.
They don't care about you!
This is what they do!
They're criminals!
Come back, Shanks! Don't leave me!
No!
Come back. I thought we were family!
Shanks wouldn't do that. No.
Does that sound like him to you?!
Then why would he abandon me for 12 years?
Wake up, Luffy! You're letting him trick you!
This is exactly what happened to me!
He's coming, you know.
To save you, I assume?
No, to save you.
Save me how? From what?
Shanks would never forget his own daughter!
He won't let you hurt yourself, or anyone else either!
Shanks isn't coming and he never cared.
He threw me away.
Enough, okay?
Goodbye. Luffy.
Shanks? Why?
Well, it's been a while, hasn't it?
I felt like hearing you sing.
No, this is perfect, actually!
There's no better way to mark the end of your era
and the beginning of mine!
Thank you, Shanks.
Now I finally have a chance to settle things with you.
Don't, you see? This is our enemy!
The most evil pirate of all!
Let's beat him, together!
Shanks is out there, isn't he?
This is it!
You still wanna fight me?
Have it your way.
Hold it right there!
Sunny! Sunny- !
Guard Point!
Room!
Shambles!
Barrier Ball: Sound, baby!
Your voice is trapped.
That means your powers are on lockdown, right?
I nailed this.
Whoa! Watch it!
Gab, these are innocent people, so hold that power back!
No, no, no, no, no!
You can't die! Please!
We're almost there!
You heard me.
Hurry and deploy every last asset
the Navy has and eliminate Uta!
It doesn't matter if the audience goes down with her!
That's a small price to pay for the safety of the world.
We can't afford to hesitate!
Show no mercy!
Does the Navy protect people or not?
You are killing them in cold blood!
Well? Kizaru!
We live in a cruel world, my friend,
and there's no such thing as justice without sacrifice.
Breaks your heart, I know,
but sometimes you gotta kill a few thousand people
to get one bad egg.
Yasakani Sacred Jewel!
Ohh.
Hate to be rude, but this is between me and my family.
You don't mind sitting this one out, do you?
I'm afraid that's not an option.
Can't afford to be sentimental with
the fate of the world on the line.
I'm asking you to back off.
Afraid you're asking the wrong man.
If I was any good at backing off, I'd still have my sight.
Hongo, you're helping me?
Something is happening in reality, but I can't tell what.
Yep, Uta's been eating wake-shrooms.
Huh?
Apart from staying awake,
she's showing all the telltale signs.
They make you more aggressive,
and you lose control of your emotions.
Yoho.
Pirates are villains, so they can't look like friends.
Honestly, I should've done this from the start.
Uta!
I was scared. Afraid of my own power.
But I don't need to hold back anymore.
I'm done! Done with all of you!
Be careful, it's about to get ugly!
What the hell?
You're not supposed to be able to break that!
- No. - That's not good!
We went to so much trouble to prepare these headsets,
but now they're no more useful than scrap.
We're too late! This couldn't get any worse!
An ancient beast has been given form
by the Sing-Sing Fruit.
"The King of Demons."
Tot Musica!
Aye-Aye!
I can't stop it!
It doesn't matter now.
Our operation has fallen apart.
Reality and the song world have been
linked by the Demon King, and Uta has taken control.
Uta! Stop it! Please!
Uta, can you hear us?
This world, it's not what you promised us!
Uta!
Whoa! Sorry!
Yoho!
Heat Beating!
It's no use!
If we can't coordinate with the outside,
we'll never beat this thing.
What happened to you, Princess Uta?
Your voice has the power to save people!
Use it for peace!
Usopp!
I'm fine.
Leave Tot Musica to us!
Uta needs you!
Don't let her suffer alone, okay?
Wrap this up for us.
Hey! Stop!
I know you can hear me in there, so let's talk!
Mister Luffy!
Luffy!
Keep fighting! She'll kill you!
Uta! Listen to me!
I just want to talk!
I have nothing to say to a pirate! Die!
No!
Can't you see?
Luffy cares about you.
I can't sit here and watch you hurt your friends.
That's enough!
Are you really siding with someone who looks up to Shanks?
You've got the wrong idea.
I lied to you.
On that night, 12 years ago,
it wasn't the Red-Hair Pirates who destroyed Elegia.
It was Tot Musica!
I'm so sorry.
It's my fault for hiding this from you.
I'm sure you remember the party that night,
but not what happened next.
When the musicians of the city
learned that you were leaving with Shanks,
they realized it was their last chance to hear you,
and had you sing for hours.
Before you could leave,
they wanted the entire kingdom to hear your voice.
They arranged it so that your performance
would play throughout the land.
That was a terrible mistake.
Your singing beckoned to a forbidden score.
A cursed weapon that had been sealed deep beneath the castle!
That score was Tot Musica.
Like dark magic, it found its way
to your side, and tempted you.
It longed to be set free
by the power of the Sing-Sing Fruit.
With the seal broken, the Demon King was unleashed.
Absorbing you into itself,
it took revenge on the country that had locked it away.
Snap out of it, Uta!
You can't let the demon take you!
It was fortunate you were still a child at the time.
Your stamina gave out and you fell asleep.
But the country was destroyed.
Huh?
I'm sure the Navy will want to make an arrest.
Would you mind keeping this a secret from Uta?
It'd be too cruel to tell her the truth.
Of course.
I'll tell the Navy that I was responsible for this.
Nah. It should be us.
Huh?
"The Red-Hair Pirates laid waste to the city.
They tricked its people and stole its treasure."
Tell that to Uta, as well.
I don't understand. Are you leaving her?
The girl's got a hell of a voice.
We can't keep a superstar like her cooped up on a boat
while we're on the run from the Navy.
I leave her in your capable hands.
Make her into the greatest singer in the world.
Her singing's not a crime that needs to be punished.
Yes. Of course.
I understand!
As king of Elegia, I swear upon the devotion to music
that everyone in this kingdom felt!
I will pour my heart into Uta's training
and turn her in to a performer
who will bring joy to the entire world!
Uta.
Even when we're apart, you'll always be my daughter.
So, smile!
And I will, too!
We're so proud of our musician!
We wish you only the best!
Uta! You heard him!
I told you Shanks wasn't bad!
Hey! I drew that!
Check it out!
What's that?
This is Shanks' straw hat! Duh!
I don't see it.
Look closer!
You can't draw.
Let's make it the sign of our new age!
You can keep it! It's yours!
Stop, Uta.
This isn't freedom.
This isn't the new age that you wanted!
You know that! You know better than anyone!
Luffy!
- Luffy! - It swallowed her up.
What is that? This looks bad.
Hurry up and get in here if you idiots want to live!
How the hell are we supposed to fight that thing?
We gotta figure out how to coordinate
with the outside or we're dead!
Ooh. The whole world's turning upside down, huh?
The Navy shoots a couple civilians, and all of a sudden
you pirates decide to be the heroes?
Who gives a damn about labels? Lives are at stake!
I don't see why that matters to you.
Our daughter doesn't need
anything else on her conscience.
She's suffered enough!
Hey, men! Nobody dies on our watch!
This is turning into a right mess.
Stopping the demon might be faster.
Uta's been eating wake-shrooms.
If she's been consumed by Tot Musica,
I'm not sure how she can be stopped.
- Uta. - You did this!
It's all your fault!
- You killed them. - You're guilty.
I knew the truth! You didn't have to tell me!
I've known for a while,
about a year after I started singing for the world.
I found a transponder snail
that recorded what happened that night.
If you're watching this,
beware of a girl named Uta!
She's too dangerous to live!
Her singing can destroy the whole world!
But what was I supposed to do?
I couldn't change the past!
I had fans that were counting on me,
so I had to keep going for them!
I'm tired of hurting. I don't wanna be here anymore.
Is there a place where we can all go
and together all of us can be happy with you?
I'll fight! I'll beat all those evil pirates
and protect my fans from this cruel, rotten world!
I can't turn back anymore.
For the new age- !
Heat Goat!
Oven!
Look out!
Huh?
We might not be friends,
but I can't let a lady get hurt on my watch.
Now, there's something very special that only you can do.
Right!
Coby! Take command!
Ready! Defensive formation, let's hurry!
Our main priority is protecting the audience!
Nami, Robin, please help organize the evacuation!
Ladies and gentlemen, proceed calmly into the mirror!
Brulee is key to this operation,
so Blueno, take your team and protect her!
Jimbei, Franky, guard our flanks!
Chopper, provide aid to Luffy and Gordon!
Helmeppo and I will watch your perimeter!
Usopp, provide fire support from the rear!
Brook, Sanji, you'll be frontline defense!
Zoro, you take point and lead the assault.
Oven, Law, you're on offense as well!
Heh. Let's get to work.
Franky Rocket Launcher!
Yummy!
Go, Zeus! Breeze Tempo!
Room!
Stop! I'm the only one who should die!
All of this is my fault, Uta!
I kept you from the world for so long
because I was afraid of your power!
And because I'm a fool who loves music too much,
I couldn't bring myself to throw away that cursed score!
I'm just a shameless coward!
I've ran away from one problem after another,
leaving a trail excuses!
All of this is my fault.
Y'know, when I was a kid,
my old man left me on my own.
But you've been by Princess Uta's side this whole time!
That's gotta count for something!
You kept your promise,
even after your country was wiped out.
I'd be proud if I were you!
Okay. I'm going.
You sure?
She's suffered enough.
You understand, Luffy!
Her singing has the power to bring joy
to the entire world and that's what it should do!
How did it come to this?
Uta deserves better than this nightmare!
Only you can do this, Luffy!
Please! Save Uta!
Of course I will.
Luffy!
Hurry! Go!
We're running out of time!
He has to try.
We're about to be stuck here forever!
That's not enough!
You need to attack in unison.
You and your allies in the Sing-Sing World
must strike the same place at the same time.
Big Mom's son? Why are you here?
I came to save my sister. That's all!
My Observation Haki lets me briefly see
the other side through my sister's eyes.
This thing is acting as a bridge between worlds.
Yeah, I know!
We've got someone with that power, too.
It's kind of dicey, though.
My boy's got a long way to go,
but he needs to stop freaking out!
But thanks for showing up, Katakuri,
we need all the help we can get.
Seems the Navy's busy evacuating the audience.
Oh.
I don't suppose I can
convince you to settle down, huh?
Must be Luffy.
That was Shanks!
It worked!
That means Luffy was able to coordinate his attack!
Heh.
Watch it, asshole!
Three Sword Style: Crossing the Six Paths!
There's no end to this.
Wanna stomp on me, Moss Head?
I'll show you how to stomp! I'll stomp your skull in!
We're wasting time.
Damn, we need to take out an arm or something
to slow this thing down!
Pull it together, Captain Usopp!
C'mon, think! Don't freak out!
Dad?
Oh, good! Finally noticed, huh?
Y'knucklehead.
I can see the other side through my dad's eyes!
Luffy!
Right! Time to do this!
Are you ready?
Yeah!
All right, men, let's go.
No holding back!
Yeah!
We'll aim for one limb at a time, okay?
Okay? Take the shots as I call them!
Now, right leg, go!
Right leg, go!
Heh.
Left arm!
Left arm, go!
Woohoo!
Left leg!
All right, fine!
You people owe me for this!
In the middle, right side!
Middle, left side!
I'm surprised, Yasopp!
You get along well with your son!
Right arm!
Franky Fresh Fire!
Luffy!
Shanks, you're up!
No mercy!
Ya see that? They should've known
not to pick a fight with us!
I'm glad they did!
We'll feast for months with this haul!
What the heck is a baby doing in here?
Why was she with the treasure?
You think those pirates kidnapped her?
You're kidding me! Uh...
Oh! Everything's fine!
Don't cry!
♪ Wipe away your tears, never fear, ♪
♪ there's no crying here! ♪
You know maybe this happened for a reason.
All this time, I never knew you felt the same as me.
Shanks, I'm... I'm sorry.
It's over now, okay?
Hongo!
Drink this medicine and go to sleep right away.
It's not too late.
It's funny. I never wanted to see you again.
But I...
I really missed my crew.
Save it, okay?
Hurry up and take the damn medicine!
What the hell is this?
We beat the demon like you said!
Why aren't they turning back to normal?
Please, no. It's over.
You have to stop fighting.
Listen to me!
Why are we still stuck here? We won!
It appears that we were too late.
Our souls have been swallowed up,
and even if Uta is saved, the demon's power persists!
What can we do?
Uta, just drink the medicine.
I can't rest, not yet.
I have to sing and bring them all back.
Do you remember?
Back then, what you told me?
I have a power.
I can bring happiness to the whole world with my singing.
I'm Uta, proud musician of the Red-Hair Pirates.
I won't give up!
The voice of an angel. Saving us.
Luffy, you never punched me once, after all that.
'Cause you're still my friend
and my punches hit harder than a pistol.
I've seen your stupid punches.
You do that spinny thing.
Those weren't for real!
You're sucha sore loser!
I always thought of you as a runt,
but I guess you got taller than me at some point.
This hat means a lot to me, too.
This is the hat of a great man,
so I want you to keep growing into it, okay?
Shanks, is Luffy safe?
He's back with us.
The audience is looking good, too.
Thank goodness...
Sorry, Shanks.
I forgot how proud I was to be a part of your crew,
but as time went on, I lost faith.
Despite that, you saved me, even though it was my fault.
That's a very dangerous criminal you've got there.
One who nearly destroyed the whole world.
Why don't you hand over Uta, so we can all leave peacefully?
Well! So that's your answer, is it?
I was hoping you would play nice.
Oh well, what a pity.
No, it's...
You're not touching Uta.
She is my daughter.
And our family.
If you wanna take her away from us...
...you better be ready to die!
Would you look at that!
Even some of the Vice-Admirals are falling.
Not every day you get to see a demonstration
of Haki from one of the Emperors.
There are far too many civilians in the area.
We can't afford to have a battle with foes like these.
What about my fans?
What will they do?
They're gonna be fine.
People aren't as fragile as you might think.
And besides.
A new age is dawning soon.
So, you're finally awake.
Where's Uta?
Where did Shanks go?
Look.
Hey, Sunny!
Sunny?
I'm gonna be the King of the Pirates!
