The damage caused by the appearance of Totumjika to Elegia was not very serious. Most of the roofs of the buildings in the city were affected by some shock waves, and the number of damages and collapses was extremely limited.
Although the harbor was severely damaged, the damage did not have a direct impact on the people of Elegia. The island was surrounded by the sea, and it had more than one permanent port.
Although the residents and fishermen around the harbor were affected by Totemjika's attack and suffered heavy casualties, the disaster was quickly brought under control after people with special abilities like Kuni Yuichiro joined the treatment team.
The direct impact of Totumjika on Elegia is actually not as great as the indirect impact.
When the disaster occurred, the residents of the city of Elegia fell into panic. When the "doomsday" came, it was simply unimaginable what humans would do.
People who were kind in daily life also showed their terrifying fangs.
The next day.
King Gordon, who had been busy all night, received numerous complaints from the public. When order in the kingdom was restored, those who had been harmed the previous night finally had a voice.
Although Elegia is called a country, in fact, this country does not have a systematic "national" level management system.
The entire management system of Elegia is very vertical. Although Gordon is an artist, in essence, he is the powerful king who coordinates the entire country's military, people's livelihood, and public security.
The people's lawsuits are also one of the things he has to deal with.
Therefore, when Gordon heard his subordinates say that many people were harmed by criminals last night, he immediately lost his sleepiness. After hurriedly giving his subordinates a few words, he left the "refugee camp" on the beach and rushed back to the city to deal with these matters.
“It’s really busy!”
"Although Elegia's culture is prosperous, its administrative system is also quite chaotic."
"For something like this to happen, the king has to intervene personally. There's no dedicated judicial system to handle it."
Before Gordon left, he took the initiative to explain the reason to Tsugakuni Yoshiichi. The reason Gordon did this was more or less because he hoped that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, the former admiral of the navy, could help him coordinate the affairs of the refugees during Gordon's absence.
In this regard, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi would not refuse except to sigh in his heart.
At most, it would just be to help Gordon keep an eye on it for a little longer, which was a piece of cake for him.
Although Gordon was preoccupied with trivial matters of the country, he did not neglect the hospitality of Shanks and others. The next morning, Gordon prepared comfortable accommodation for the Red Hair Pirates, and also invited some well-known musicians in the country to contact Uta.
When Uta woke up in the morning, she seemed to have no memory of what happened last night. Accompanied by Shanks and others, she started the "trial lesson" with the musicians invited by Gordon.
Uta's life in Elegia has become more fulfilling. When she wakes up in the morning, she needs to follow a professional teacher to warm up her voice and practice singing. After that, she will have a simple meal and then relearn basic music theory.
There is a short break at noon. After lunch, Uta will learn some common musical instruments, such as piano and guitar.
Only at three or four o'clock in the afternoon will Uta have some time for herself to walk, play and relax in the bustling city.
Shanks treated these people like an ordinary parent, picking up and dropping off Uta from school every day. When they were in the mood, the people from the Red Hair Pirates would even accompany Uta to the "training class".
As for Ji Guoyuanyi, after spending two days treating the injured, he left these matters back to Gordon, and then stayed in the underground library of Elegia, disappearing all day long.
A week after Totumjika's attack on Elegia, Elegia had returned to its former prosperity and stability, and what happened that night gradually became a topic of conversation among the people.
On the stage, Uta, wearing a white long dress, sat in front of a grand piano, her fingers dancing rapidly on the keys, and beautiful melody echoed in the concert hall.
Beside the piano, a woman in her early 20s with a slim figure and beautiful face was half leaning against the piano, looking at Uta who was concentrating on playing with a smile on her face.
Under the stage, the auditorium was empty, with only a few seats in the front row occupied.
Shanks and Tsugumi Yuichi sat next to each other, looking up at the stage with smiles on their faces. On the other side of Shanks, Gordon sat upright, looking solemnly at the Uta being played on the stage. After listening carefully for a long time, Gordon lowered his voice and said to Shanks beside him:
“In just one week, you can play a piece of music of this difficulty.”
"There's no doubt that Uta is a true genius. Even if she doesn't pursue singing, with this ability alone, as long as it's cultivated, she can definitely become an outstanding performer."
"And from what I've heard, Uta's talent goes far beyond that."
"I've talked to several of her teachers, and she's mastered not only her vocal and piano skills, but also other instruments very quickly."
"Uta is a gifted musician. She will surely become a musician that will amaze everyone."
Shanks
"Are you really not going to leave Uta here?"
After spending a week in Elegia, Uta has been exposed to almost all things related to music, and the classes these days have also made Uta immersed in it.
Seeing that Uta really liked him, Shanks expressed his desire to keep her here to continue her music studies.
But unexpectedly, after hearing what Shanks said, Uta started crying and asked Shanks if he wanted to abandon her. No matter how Shanks explained, Uta kept crying. Not only that, after that, Uta showed great rejection of those "classes".
Seeing Uta like this, Shanks knew that it was time for them to leave Elegia.
Uta stopped sulking when Shanks told her that he would take her away from Elegia.
Shanks knew that Uta acted like this not because she didn't like music or because she didn't like these "classes", but simply because Uta didn't want to leave Shanks.
"I'm so sorry, Gordon."
"After all, the child is still too young and cannot leave the adult's side."
"But don't worry, I will find a way to train Wuta well. At the very least, I want to lay a solid foundation."
"I'll come back when Uta is a little older and more sensible!"
Shanks looked at Uta playing on the stage and a smile appeared on his face. In his mind, he recalled the night when he talked to Uta and Uta looked like a crying baby.
"I don't want to! I'm Shanks' daughter and a member of the pirate group! I don't want to leave! Even if I practice on my own, I can become a world-famous singer!"
Uta's resolute tone and determined eyes that night often appeared in Shanks' mind. As for his daughter's willfulness, Shanks could only let it go.
“That’s such a shame.”
Gordon sighed softly, and then said with some regret: "I prepared some books and some musical instruments for Uta."
"Give them all to the children."
"She has learned a lot these days. We must let Wuta practice diligently. Vocal training is the basic skill. She should not relax even after leaving."
"But be sure to be moderate and come before your voice changes."
“.”
Gordon is a person who loves talents. He knows that there is no way to keep such a genius, so he can only give earnest advice to Shanks, the parent.
Shanks listened very carefully. As Gordon spoke, he nodded slightly and kept Gordon's words firmly in mind.
On the other side, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni didn’t think about so many things. He just wanted to relax before leaving.
During this period of time, flipping through the collection of books was also very tiring for him, and the worst thing was that he did not get much useful information from those ancient books.
He has not found the answers to the origin of the Demon King and the nature of the Devil Fruit.
However, he did gain something. He found an ancient book in the underground library. The text on the ancient book had the same origin as the text used in the historical text.
After obtaining Gordon's consent, Jiguo Yuanyi quietly put away the ancient book, intending to take it back and ask little Robin to help him decipher it.
“~”
On the stage, the sound of the piano gradually faded.
Uta turned over, jumped down from the stool, and bowed slightly to the people in the audience in a proper manner.
Everyone in the Red Hair Pirates immediately gave a warm round of applause, and Yoriichi Tsugikuni also smiled and clapped his hands gently.
"How did I perform? Shanks, Mr. Tsugakuin."
After the performance, Uta's true colors were revealed. He rushed off the stage and threw himself into Shanks' arms, showing off to Shanks and Tsugumi Yuichiro with excitement on his face.
She was raised by Shanks and regards Shanks as her father. She has a special feeling towards Shanks. As "Shanks' mysterious brother", Yoriichi Tsugikuni also has a special identity in Uta's eyes.
“Very impressive!”
"Uta is truly a genius!"
Shanks praised with a smile, patted Uta's head gently, and held Uta in his arms. Uta nodded in Shanks' arms, and then looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi excitedly.
Yuichiro Tsugikuni also smiled and gave Uta a thumbs up.
Uta cheered after receiving the affirmation, left Shanks' arms, and then played with the crew members amid the slightly exaggerated cheers of the Red Hair Pirates.
"We should leave."
"Thank you for your care during this time. Thank you, Gordon."
"If we didn't leave Donghai, we would come here often."
Shanks stood up and said goodbye to Gordon. Gordon reluctantly held Shanks' hand. His eyes stayed on the child Uta for a long time, and then he nodded heavily.
Gordon did his best to be a good host. After learning that Shanks and others were planning to leave, he and his subordinates prepared generous gifts for Shanks and others.
Not only a variety of books and musical instruments, but also a lot of supplies and gold items were given to Shanks.
Shanks did not refuse the generous gift from Gordon. He knew that this was Gordon's way of expressing gratitude.
Many things do not need to be explained clearly, they can naturally understand them.
Gordon also prepared generous thank-you gifts for Yuichiro Tsugakuya, but Yuichiro Tsugakuya didn't want any of them. For Yuichiro Tsugakuya, getting that ancient book was already an unexpected gain.
Gordon naturally didn't want to use such a "shabby" thing to thank Tsugakuin Yoshiichi for his kindness, but Tsugakuin Yoshiichi didn't give him a chance at all. After leaving the concert hall, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi said a simple goodbye to Shanks and the others, then jumped up and disappeared from everyone's sight.
He still has a lot of important things to do. This time he came to the East China Sea for the "Rubber Fruit". Since he didn't get any news about the Rubber Fruit, it was time for Tsugikuni Yoshiichi to return to the New World.
"Bye now!!"
"Mr. Gordon!"
On a sunny afternoon, the anchor of the Red Force was dragged up. Uta and Shanks stood on the deck at the stern, looking at Gordon who was seeing them off at the shore.
Uta waved her arms and said her final goodbye.
In Uta's mind, the trip to Elegia during this period left only beautiful memories.
The crisp sound reached the coast. Gordon looked at the talented girl, and forced himself to wave goodbye to Shanks and Uta.
East China Sea, Kingdom of Goa, Mount Korpo.
"boom!!!!"
Suddenly, there was a loud roar among the dense forests. In an instant, the flock of birds fled. After the loud roar, a towering tree in the forest began to fall down the mountain.
"Bang!!!"
The fallen giant tree crushed countless flowers and plants. At the same time, a terrified scream was heard from a clearing in the forest:
"Old man, are you going to kill us?!!!"
In the open space, Ace was holding a long knife in his hand. He rolled on the ground several times before he stabilized his body. After getting up from the ground, he looked at the scene not far away and immediately started cursing.
Beside him, Sabo, wearing a shabby little suit and holding a steel pipe in his hand, stared at the scene not far away with his eyes wide open, feeling a chill on his back.
In an open space a few meters away, a middle-aged strong man wearing a flowered shirt and with slightly graying temples stood in front of a broken tree stump. He retracted his punching posture and slowly turned around to look at Ace and Sabo.
"asshole!"
"Who is the old man calling?!"
"Call me grandpa!"
"I'm doing this to train you two. You two are going to become a powerful navy in the future!"
"It's just a little bit of experience, it's still far from enough!"
The person who was speaking got the holiday cap by "accident".
The navy has made a big move against the BIG MOM Pirates, but he is not uninterested in such things. Sengoku also understands the character of his old friend, and the younger generation of the navy has grown up. Naturally, this war will be led by young people.
Before the war broke out, Sengoku gave Garp a vacation. When the navy officially took action, Garp would be recalled to the headquarters to protect the safety of the headquarters.
Garp actually has no other hobbies during his vacation, he just likes to "train" young people for the navy.
"A little experience?!"
"How can we possibly cultivate a strong navy with this approach?!"
“It’s going to kill people!!!”
Sabo, hearing Garp's words, also shouted with wide eyes. He was a year younger than Ace and still a little kid.
"nonsense!"
"Why can't I cultivate it?!"
"You know what Tsugikuni Yuichi is, right? He was trained through actual combat. If you two die, it means that you are only this level!"
"No one knows how to train a navy better than me!"
Garp shouted at the top of his lungs, and then without saying anything, he jumped up and flew towards Sabo and Ace.
"Sabo, get out of here!"
Seeing this, Ace growled and quickly dodged to the side, but Sabo was not slow either. He didn't need Sabo's reminder at all and flew away from the spot.
After the two of them dodged for a few moments, Garp's figure fell from the sky and punched the open ground.
"boom!!!!"
The roar sounded again in the forest, and the entire ground was shattered by Garp's huge force, and cracks spread out in all directions.
"Hello, hello, hello"
“This is too messy.”
Just as Garp was "training" the two children, on a tall tree in the distance, Jiguo Yuanyi stood on a branch and leaned against the trunk, looking at the scene in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.
