Thrilling Music Island
The moment Uta picked up the music score, her attention was completely drawn to it. Her eyes became blurred, her lips moved slightly, and she began to hum along with the music score as if possessed by a ghost.
“…”
Melodious singing rang out in the banquet hall. It started as a soft hum, but soon became uncontrollable.
The clear and beautiful singing voice with a strange atmosphere filled the entire banquet hall.
The lights on the ceiling began to flicker, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. People screamed in surprise, and expressions of fear appeared on their faces one after another.
An evil aura burst out from another world, surging over and filling the entire island in the blink of an eye.
No! What’s going on here?!
"Uta!" Meli rushed over and wanted to hug Uta, but it was like he hit a wall and was bounced away.
Although Uta was still standing, she was in a coma, her eyes had lost focus, but her mouth was still singing unconsciously.
"What's wrong with you? Uta! Wake up!" Meli was in a panic.
"Oh no!" Shanks, Beckman and others were so shocked by the sudden change that they quickly dropped their wine glasses and ran towards Uta.
"What's going on?"
"This aura...is so evil!"
Above the quiet night sky, a strange dark shadow appeared out of nowhere.
The strange shadow kept twisting and changing shape, and finally turned into a huge humanoid monster.
It overlooked the island below and launched an indiscriminate attack on all beings on the island.
The powerful attack force swept over, as if to swallow everything.
The roof of the banquet hall was suddenly destroyed by a powerful external force, and a big hole appeared in an instant.
Gravel and dust fell down, revealing the true face of the monster outside through the hole.
It had no lower body, its yellow hair was fluffy and messy under its top hat, its face was pale, and when it grinned, it revealed a row of sharp fangs.
Gordon's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted, "This is... Totemjika!!!"
Shanks asked hurriedly, "Mr. Gordon, do you know what this is?"
"This is the Demon King!"
"What?"
......
In the chaos, Meli rushed forward again, and all the tentacles moved out together, tightly wrapping around Uta like vines.
One tentacle was bounced away, but there were still several tentacles that finally hugged Uta.
"Uta! Wake up!" Mary shook Uta hard, trying to wake her up.
But Uta still did not respond.
Suddenly, an invisible strange force fell from the sky and wrapped them both.
Meli felt a powerful force pulling them, floating towards the monster in the air.
The huge evil monster was looking down at them with a terrifying smile on its face.
"Shanks, Beckman...what should we do about Uta!?" Merry shouted in panic, but got no response.
She looked down and realized that many people below had fallen to the ground and were all in a coma.
Even Shanks, Beckman and others were no exception. They collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness at some point.
How could this monster be so terrifying? A feeling of helplessness welled up in Merry's heart.
Flames spread across the island, sending billowing smoke tinting the sky orange-red.
The beautiful and happy music island was engulfed in a sea of fire and its situation was precarious.
Uta's body was still floating towards the monster in the air, and her mind seemed to be completely controlled by the demon king Totumjika.
Meli shook Uta frantically, her voice tinged with tears, "Uta! Wake up!"
But no matter how Meli called, Uta did not respond.
Above his head was the huge evil monster, and below him was the fire dragon rising into the sky.
As the flames jumped, the unconscious Shanks and others, as well as those innocent people, lay on the ground, motionless.
The entire island seemed to be caught in a doomsday disaster.
Seeing the flames getting closer and closer to the unconscious figure, Meli knew he couldn't delay any longer.
A special instruction came from Merry's mind.
[Mina-san! Please come and help me! ]
The sea suddenly churned up, and the surging waves kept hitting the shore.
The sea kings who heard the call emerged from the deep sea in the blink of an eye and appeared on the coast.
Under Meli's instructions, the sea kings began to spray sea water frantically towards the island.
Streams of water poured down like waterfalls, covering the entire island in a vast ocean.
Those who were unconscious were drenched in sea water and the cold feeling stimulated their nerves, causing them to struggle in their coma.
Shanks, Beckman, and the others frowned, struggling hard in the Song World to wake up from their coma.
The fire on the island was also extinguished by the sea water. The flames made a "sizzling" sound and gradually weakened.
The strong current washed many people into the sea, but they were carefully picked up by the sea kings and brought to the shore.
Although they were all injured to varying degrees, at least they were all alive.
At the same time, a wave as tall as a cloud rushed up from the sea with great momentum, rushing towards Uta and Totmujika in the air.
Totumjika seemed to feel the threat of the sea water as well. It roared angrily, a trace of fear flashed in its eyes, and its attack became more violent.
Many buildings on the island collapsed under the attack, but the water wall was invisible and could not be stopped at all.
Moreover, sea water can counter the Devil King Fruit!
The waves fell mercilessly, covering Meli, Uta and Totumjika.
Uta was drenched in sea water, and her body instantly became limp. All her strength was drained away, and she lost the power to continue singing.
The excited singing stopped abruptly, and Totemjika's movements also paused.
At this moment, Meli hugged Uta tightly and took the opportunity to jump down from the air, breaking free from Totemjika's restraints.
Shanks was splashed by sea water again, and he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, "Oh no, why did I fall asleep?"
He looked around and just happened to see the figures of Meli and Uta falling from the sky, with the Demon King behind them chasing closely.
Oh no! Shanks reacted immediately, pulled out Griffin, jumped up, and with lightning speed, he used his special skill to aim at Totumjika in the air.
"God avoid!"
With a loud shout, Griffin released a domineering shock wave, which attacked the air with unparalleled power and domineering power.
Wherever the shock wave reached, the surrounding air was shaken.
"*#￥@." Totemjika screamed in fear, his pupils shrank into lines. He wanted to escape but it was too late and he was split in half by the shock wave.
Beckman also woke up in time, quickly flew up, reached out to catch the falling Meli and Uta, and held them and landed steadily on the ground.
The huge body collapsed from the air and fell into the sea, raising huge waves.
The sea water was surging, and Totumjika's body floated in the sea water, and was finally pulled into the deep sea by the waves.
Seeing the sea kings on the coast, Beckman quickly understood what had happened. He was a little scared: "Merry! Today is really thanks to you!"
"Hehe. Actually, I didn't do anything." Merry smiled shyly. "It was mainly thanks to the help of the sea kings."
Beckman shook his head: "No, the sea kings are willing to help because of you."
"By the way, don't tell Uta about what happened tonight."
"It wasn't Uta's fault in the first place. She was just a child."
"Yes, this is all because the Demon King Totumjika has taken control of Uta."
"Gordon, what's going on with this Demon King Totumjika?"
"Alas, he is..."
......
Wuta slowly opened her eyes, her eyes a little confused: "Why did I fall asleep?"
Gulixiati gently touched Wuta's head and comforted her, "It's nothing. Just sleep for a while if you're tired."
"But..." Uta was not a child who was easily fooled. She quickly noticed the chaotic situation around her and her face changed drastically. "What happened here?"
Merry helped explain: "We were attacked by the Demon King, but now the Demon King has been defeated."
Wuta's eyes widened. "Demon King! Is everyone alright?"
Shanks patted his chest and smiled brightly: "Don't worry, we are here. Everyone has only suffered minor injuries. It's nothing serious."
Gulishati: "My fellow villagers are helping treat the injured, and other partners are helping to clear the rubble. It's all right now."
Uta breathed a sigh of relief: "Then... I'll sing a song for everyone to relax your mood."
"Hey!!! Wait!" Shanks hurriedly stopped Uta, "You just woke up, so don't force yourself."
"I won't force it. I can't help with anything else. Maybe my singing can bring some comfort to everyone."
"No, no, you're still a little weak, you need to rest."
"Yeah, yeah. Everyone's tired, so they might not be in the mood to listen to music."
"How about you sing it another day, okay?"
"All right."
Uta seemed to have no memory of being controlled by the Demon King, and Shanks and Gulshati both breathed a sigh of relief.
They joined other crew members in helping to clear the rubble.
Meli and Uta are also helping out in whatever ways they can.
People rebuilt their homes on the ruins, and Elegia gradually returned to normal life.

Windmill Village
At the entrance of the market street, a carriage loaded with goods stopped.
"Come and take a look, take a look..." The loud hawking voice instantly attracted the attention of the villagers.
He was a famous reseller in the village. He would buy the fish and seafood caught by the fishermen in the morning and transport them to villages further inland for sale. He would then buy some rare items that everyone needed from the inland villages and bring them back to Windmill Village for resale.
Makino followed the crowd and squeezed in front of the carriage to carefully select.
When she saw the fireworks sticks, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: Buy some fireworks sticks, Luffy, Uta and Merry will all be very happy.
Speaking of which, Shanks and the others took Uta and Merry to visit the surrounding islands. They have been away for quite some time and should be back soon.
