Pirates: My Cool and Handsome Captain

The girl Uta is also a straightforward person. She found our group and started attacking without saying a word. She blocked Luffy's movements, changed the size of Bepo, and took the initiative to attack.

Luffy didn't quite understand Uta's behavior. He asked bluntly: "Uta, why did you leave Shanks' ship? Since you said you are a musician of the Red Hair Pirates, why don't you go back to Shanks?"

This little fool, didn’t he see that Uta’s eyes were dim? Luffy’s words seemed to have touched Uta’s soft spot, and this girl became visibly darker.

Uta said softly: "I'm so annoyed..." and then yelled at Luffy: "I don't want to hear about Shanks!!"

Uta suddenly exploded and snatched Luffy's straw hat.

I hid with little Bepo in my arms. I could see that Uta cared a lot about the straw hat, which originally belonged to Shanks.

Uta suggested that Luffy stay in this world and live happily with her. Luffy said that the world outside was more interesting. When the two disagreed, Uta was about to take action.

Roma opened the room and prepared to take us away first. I made a gesture to him, carried Bepo and moved to the highest pillar in the lobby to hide. Law frowned and escaped with Luffy and Bartolomeo.

I hid myself holding the small and soft Bepo and signaled him not to speak. We looked at Uta and Gordon below and eavesdropped on their conversation.

Uta: "Gordon, you are angry because I held the concert without consulting you."

Gordon said weakly, "It's not an ordinary concert."

Uta laughed out loud: "Now that you've discovered me, then cheer for me." As he said that, he flapped a pair of small wings behind him and turned around happily.

"me."

I was listening anxiously, you, you, you, what on earth do you want to say? !

"In the end, I still have to escape." Uta was a little disappointed, and she clenched the straw hat in her hand.

"I don't want you to do this! But..."

Uta didn't want to hear Gordon say any more. She waved her hand and a musical score appeared, and Gordon was hung up.

"Just stay here for a while." Uta turned and walked out. Compared to talking useless nonsense with Gordon here, there were many things waiting for her to do.

Gordon subconsciously struggled twice but to no avail, and hurriedly said to Uta: "The World Government and the Navy will not sit idly by!" He looked at the little girl he raised, and if this continued, something big would happen!

"It's okay, I have this." Uta took out some old papers.

I leaned over and saw that they were some sheet music.

Gordon's face changed drastically when he saw what Uta was holding: "That, that's...Totemjika!"

"I've known it for a long time. It's hidden under the castle. Why not throw it away?" The sheet music in Uta's hand changed its form into a small card, and put it into the headphones he was wearing: "Could it be that you also have the ideal of creating a new era?"

Gordon was anxious: "Uta! You can't use that thing!"

Uta no longer wanted to listen to Gordon's advice, so she flew away, leaving Gordon shouting on the sheet music: "UTA!!"

Bepo frowned: "Aju..."

I stroked its snow-white fur. "Your idol seems to have some mental illness, Bepo, creating a new era? He seems a little bit childish."

Gordon was the only one hanging on the music score below, as everyone else was catching pirates. I jumped down holding Bepo and came in front of Gordon.

I put Bepo down and asked straight to the point: "What is Totemjika? What is your secret?"

"You are... the lady who was with Luffy and the others? You didn't run away with them?" Gordon was a little surprised to see me suddenly appear.

"Mr. Gordon! Answer my question! What secrets do you have?!"

"...It is a collection of human thoughts that has continued from ancient times to the present. It is a mindless destructive creature, a demon king." Gordon seemed to remember something. He said to me anxiously and fearfully: "We must not let Uta use that thing! She will die! Everyone will die!"

"From what I heard from you just now, it seems that you hid Totumjika under the castle. I don't understand why you kept such a dangerous thing? Since you knew it would kill people, why didn't you destroy it?" As I spoke, I pinched my knuckles, making a crackling sound. This old man is not thinking straight.

"I... I didn't have the determination to destroy it, I..." Gordon said with tears of regret: "When it was summoned, it almost killed everyone on the island. I should have destroyed it! It's me, it's all my fault!"

I looked at him in surprise, and immediately reacted: "So the reason why Elegia was destroyed overnight was not because of the attack of the pirates but because of Tothmjika?! What happened and why did... " I suddenly shut up. Uta was a musician on Red-Haired Shanks' ship. Red-Haired Shanks would not abandon his crew for no reason, and according to Uta's age, Uta, who came to Elegia with Red-Haired Shanks, should still be a child.

The Red Hair Pirates, Uta, Elegia, Gordon, Totumjika...

My brain is going to explode!!

"Hey! Why did you adopt the musician of the Red Hair Pirates? According to what you told us before, there are only you and Uta on this island. You taught her music and took care of her life. Where did you get the daily necessities you use? Judging from your condition, you don't seem to be self-sufficient."

Gordon pursed his lips and said nothing, his face full of embarrassment and hesitation.

I followed my own thoughts and guessed: "Uta is a musician of the Red Hair Pirates. It is impossible for her to come to Elegia alone at such a young age. She came here with Red Hair. After Elegia was destroyed overnight, it was rumored that it was done by a large pirate group. This is too coincidental."

Gordon whispered, "Stop it."

"You just said that someone summoned Totumjika, which caused the death of almost everyone on the island, so the demise of Elegia was caused by pirates is completely false!"

"……do not talk."

"What made the Red Hair Pirates willing to bear this stigma? After Elegia was destroyed, you adopted Uta, a musician from a pirate group that destroyed his own country?! What a joke! So it was Uta who summoned Totumjika back then, but she was still young at the time, and something went wrong in the middle, causing the little girl to know nothing about it."

"Stop talking! Shut up and stop talking! I told you to stop talking!"

Gordon yelled at me, staring at me and breathing heavily. "What do you know?! Uta showed an absolute talent for music at such a young age. Her singing can bring happiness to people. She summoned Totomjika because the devil seduced her! Shanks is her adoptive father. He did this just to let her continue singing without distraction."

Bebo was worried. He pulled my pants and said, "Ahhh."

I suddenly became very angry: "You are the one who should shut up! As a father, Red Hair cannot abandon his child no matter how many reasonable reasons he has. This is such a huge psychological trauma for an eight or nine-year-old child. Red Hair can be said to be protecting Uta, but as she grows up, these things can be revealed to her little by little, telling her that her father did not abandon her!"

Gordon was very sad. He trembled and said, "That child's singing voice has the ability to bring happiness to everyone in the world. It was because I was afraid of her ability that I didn't let her sing in front of everyone. Please, save her..."

Looking at this crying old man, I sighed. How can I save a girl who has been "abandoned" by her family?

"Let's find a way to get you down first. As for the rest, we'll discuss it with Luffy and the others after we meet up."

"I know how to get away from this musical score."

"That's great. I'll go check outside and ask Bebo to help you down." I looked down at Bebo and said, "Bebo, is there any problem?"

Bepo saluted me: "Ah-ju!"

"Great, I'll leave it to you."
