During the song's interlude, Uta walked to the edge of the stage and bent down to interact with the audience in the front row.
When she saw Kuina, her eyes lit up slightly: "Ah, you must be Miss 'Purple Sword' Kuina? It's so nice that you could come to my concert."
Kuina was somewhat surprised: "You know me?"
"Of course," Uta smiled, her eyes crinkling. "I've always been concerned about everyone working to maintain peace on the seas. I hope my singing can also contribute to that peace."
As she spoke, she extended her hand and gently shook hands with Kuina. This gesture drew envy from the surrounding fans.
"How envious I am, to be able to shake hands with Lord Uta!"
"I want to too, Lord Uta, over here, I'm over here..."
"Uta, Uta, Uta..."
In her later songs, Uta opened up and became more upbeat and lively, sometimes even showing deep affection.
"During my tour, I've seen far too many people suffering because of war and hatred."
In a poignant monologue, Uta's voice carried a touch of melancholy: "But I always believe that through music, we can build bridges of understanding."
She gripped the microphone tightly, her eyes resolute: "One day, I will use my singing to fill the whole world with peace!"
This declaration was met with thunderous applause.
"Go, Uta!"
"That's right, Uta, we support you! May there be no more wars in the world, and may pirates never set sail again, returning to their fishing villages!"
"That's right, we believe in Uta, and the world will surely be at peace!"
Many viewers were moved by her sincerity and ideals, their eyes glistening with tears.
Even the usually composed Guina couldn't help but sigh, "If there were more people like her in the world, perhaps things would really be a better place."
Robin agreed, saying, "She's not just talking about ideals; she's taking concrete actions to achieve them. Such an idol deserves to be called a world-class diva!"
A small incident occurred halfway through the concert.
An elderly audience member became unwell due to excessive excitement, so Uta immediately stopped the performance and instructed staff to take good care of him.
"Everyone's health is more important than anything else. Whether you're working hard outside or simply trying to live!"
She sincerely said, "If you feel unwell, be sure to slow down your pace of life in order to live better."
This thoughtful gesture once again won applause from the audience.
At the end of the concert, Uta performed one of her signature songs...
The Continuation of the World.
As the song began, countless viewers were unknowingly drawn into a world indistinguishable from reality.
Even Kuina, Robin, Sabo, and Bonney couldn't see anything wrong with it.
Chapter 161 Uta's Spiritual World
The atmosphere of the concert reached its peak during the song "The Continuation of the World".
Uta's singing, under the influence of her "Song-Song Fruit ability," spread like ripples, silently penetrating the depths of everyone's hearts.
No one noticed anything amiss. Even people with powerful presence and keen senses like Kuina, Sabo, Robin, and Bonnie only found the singing exceptionally beautiful and captivating.
Just as everyone was engrossed in the moment, a stunning scene quietly unfolded.
In the center of the stage, Uta's figure slowly floated up, lifted by the singing! Her white gauze dress moved without wind, and her long hair, half red and half white, danced as if it had come alive. Her eyes were closed, and her face had a compassionate and sacred expression. She radiated a soft yet undeniable light.
"Lord Uta...flew up?"
"Is that a wire effect? It's so beautiful!"
"Goddess! Uta is a true goddess of music!"
The audience gasped in amazement, thinking it was a carefully designed segment of the concert, and applauded wildly at this miraculous sight.
However, this was not a special effect, but a sign that the "Song-Song Fruit power" had already been activated—
This place now belongs exclusively to Uta's spiritual world.
Anyone in the real world who hears her singing will be drawn into the story.
If they want to leave, it's simple: she just needs to let them go.
Here, Uta is the sole ruler of this world, capable of doing anything!
That's right, anything, any matter, can appear out of thin air with just a snap of the fingers or a thought.
For example, at this moment, she slowly floated up without any external force.
All of this, without anyone realizing it, used the "Song-Song Fruit power" to bring the final song of the concert to a perfect close.
And it was at this moment—
"Found you! Shichibukai 'Purple Sword' Kuina!"
A sharp shout, like a thunderclap, shattered the harmonious singing!
Two figures swooped down from the sky at an incredible speed; it was Baby-5 and Buffalo who had been tracking them!
Baby-5's arm had already transformed in mid-air into a huge, gleaming battle axe. With a sharp whooshing sound, it leaped down mercilessly and slashed down at Kuina in the front row of the inner arena!
Buffalo remained hovering overhead, its propellers humming as it provided aerial support.
This sudden attack occurred at the moment when Uta was performing his "miracle" and everyone was most relaxed!
Sabo reacted the fastest, a steel pipe appeared in his hand without him even noticing, and he instantly covered it with Armament Haki as he stood up to block the battle axe that came crashing down from the sky!
Sparks flew everywhere! The enormous impact even caused the ground beneath Sabo's feet to crack slightly.
Kuina's eyes turned cold, and Ziyun was instantly drawn half an inch from its sheath, its icy sword intent locking onto Baby-5 in the air.
If Sabo fails to subdue the opponent immediately, then she will not be so lenient!
"Flower Fruit - Six-Whisper Flower!"
Robin crossed her arms, and six arms instantly grew out of Buffalo's body.
"Huh? What's going on?!"
The next second, Buffalo was grabbed by six arms, one on each arm and the other on each leg.
This forced him to stop turning the propeller, and his hair was instantly bound by Robin's power, causing him to fall from the sky.
Bonney immediately went into battle mode, her fists covered with a thin layer of Armament Haki, her face full of vigilance.
The concert was interrupted like this.
The beautiful singing came to an abrupt end.
Uta, who was suspended in mid-air, suddenly opened his eyes. The holy and compassionate expression on his face was instantly replaced by astonishment. He couldn't understand how the peaceful atmosphere had turned into a fight.
The audience was abruptly pulled back to reality, completely bewildered to see a fight breaking out!
"what happened?!"
"Who's causing trouble at Miss Uta's concert?!"
"Are they pirates?! They seem to be the Donquixote Family!"
"Oh my god! We...we need to run!"
The next second, screams, shoving, and the sound of someone falling to the ground instantly replaced the previous harmonious chorus.
Baby-5 didn't care about any of that. Her attack was blocked, and she immediately changed form, her arm turning into a machine gun, a cigarette dangling from her mouth, surrounded by smoke.
She pointed her gun at Sabo and unleashed a barrage of shots, firing wildly!
Da da da da…!
The sound of machine guns was incessant.
"Die! You dare to provoke the family!"
Sabo had no choice but to temporarily avoid the attack, dodging repeatedly and using his Observation Haki to easily dodge all the bullets.
"Who are you people?!" Kuina asked coldly, drawing her Purple Cloud sword fully, its purple light pointing directly at Baby-5.
"The Don Quixote Family, Baby-5!" Baby-5 declared proudly, "Anyone who dares to challenge the family will pay the price!"
Even though Buffalo was being thoroughly humiliated by Robin, he still dared to yell at Kuina and the others: "Just surrender! You can't escape. The Don Quixote family will not let anyone who provokes us get away with it! Even if you only stole a few concert tickets!"
The concert venue instantly transformed from a temple of music into a chaotic battlefield.
Uta slowly descended from the air and stood at the edge of the stage, looking at the chaotic scene with a furrowed brow and a complicated expression.
Her concert was interrupted like this?
Then, in the next moment, a strange thought occurred to me:
That's right, it's all the pirates' fault!
Yes, it's all their fault!
It's because they ruined the music! They ruined world peace! They ruined the perfect concert she created for everyone!
Uta's breathing quickened slightly, and a barely perceptible hint of obsession and confusion flashed in his eyes.
My entire mental state began to become somewhat unstable.
"Sleepless Mushroom, time to eat Sleepless Mushroom... This world can't collapse yet, I will definitely create a world where everyone lives in peace..."
She couldn't stay here any longer, watching pirates wreak havoc on everything. She needed... she needed to keep eating "Sleepless Mushrooms" to sustain her mental state.
Then, make these troublemakers disappear completely!
Uta's figure vanished from the mental world in an instant, as if erased.
In the real world, on the main stage of the concert on Algia Island.
The spotlight still shone alone on the center of the stage, but there was no one there anymore.
Below the stage, the once bustling audience seats were now eerily silent.
Tens of thousands of spectators, whether they were fanatical pirates, reserved nobles, or ordinary commoners, were all as if under a spell, maintaining their posture of listening to the concert, their eyes vacant, their faces bearing intoxicated smiles, and falling into a deep sleep.
Their souls remain trapped in the mental world of Utana's "Song-Song Fruit ability".
