156. The Concert Begins! Conjecture Brought By "New Genesis"!

After more than an hour.

Marine Headquarters has declared Fish-Man Island as the territory of Rob and his group. All the discussions have come to an end.

No conclusions were drawn.

But for the arrangement of this matter, Fleet Admiral Sengoku still made it.

With a serious face, Sengoku looked at the general below:

"Don't pay attention to this matter for the time being. Everything has to be fully understood, and the purpose of Rob's group must be fully understood before making a decision! The intelligence department should act now to find out why Rob took Fish-Man Island under his command!"

"During this time, the concert of the 'Little Diva' will be monitored closely to prevent any accidents! Keep your spirits up. I don't believe they are really just holding a simple concert!"

One by one, the generals of Marine Headquarters stood up.

With a serious face, they said:

"Yes!"

Quickly.

The many Marines who received the order came, and they all left Sengoku's office one after another to carry out his mission.

Time turns—

Five days passed easily.

On the morning of the sixth day, at the port location of Fish-Man Island, the shore where the Angel was docked, Otohime's family, and Jinbei all came to give advice, as Rob and his group would leave Fish-Man Island and go to the Sabaody Archipelago.

"I will watch the live broadcast! Sister Uta!"

The little Shirahoshi had a reluctant expression on her face and looked at Uta on the deck of the Angel with serious eyes.

She said:

"Good luck with the concert, Sister Uta!"

After hearing the words of little Shirahoshi.

Uta had a happy smile on her face:

"Of course! You can look forward to my performance, little Shirahoshi!"

Rob still had Shinto pinned to his waist, with a cloak on his body, and stepped forward a few steps.

Looking at Otohime, he said:

"For the time being, I can give Fish-Man Island my protection, and I have given whatever I can for now to you! As for the future, let's talk about it later! Even though you have my name, and no one would openly attack Fish-Man Island, but you still can't be careless!"

"This is a rare time for you to develop, you still have to grasp it well! Although I can protect Fish-Man Island for a while, I can't protect you all the time. Fish-Man Island can really rely on yourself, or only yourself!"

"I still say that - strength is the foundation of peace!"

Hearing what Rob said, Princess Otohime nodded seriously:

"Yes, Rob-sama! We will seize this rare opportunity for development!"

Rob nodded.

Rob didn't say anything more.

After Robin, Uta, and Makino said goodbye to little Shirahoshi, he raised his hand and stroked the head of little Shirahoshi, who was getting bigger and bigger. He smiled and said:

"Then—we'll be leaving now! See you next time, little Shirahoshi!"

Hearing the words, little Shirahoshi had a sweet, innocent smile on her face and whispered:

"Yes! Rob nii-chan! See you next time!"

Quickly.

After bidding farewell to little Shirahoshi, the Angel sailed directly out of the port of Fish-Man Island. After turning on the submarine mode, it entered the deep sea directly. Under Rob's command, it sailed towards the "Paradise" in the first half of the Grand Line.

After half a day.

The Angel returned to the surface from the depth of 10,000 meters and was in the waters near the Sabaody Archipelago. It soon came to the island where they were preparing for Uta's concert.

"Let's go!"

The four of them got off the Angel, and Rob had a smile on his face, looking at Uta who was full of expectations beside him. He said:

"Go to the stage of the concert and have a look! From now on, Robin and Makino will take care of you while you prepare for the concert. I will arrange the rest for you!"

Hearing the words, Uta nodded gently with her little head:

"Yes, Ni-chan! And onee-chan, Makino onee-chan! Hehehe..."

Quickly.

The four of them walked together and went directly to the place where the concert stage was arranged and prepared by Stussy, one of the underground giants known for dominating the entertainment industry.

When Robin, Uta, and Makino went to check the stage,

A graceful figure approached Rob with elegant steps. It was Stussy.

Stussy, who embraced her hands, said:

"Are you really capable of doing anything for your sister, Rob? Around Six billion berries have been spent just like that! Don't you feel distressed?"

Rob smiled casually:

"It's just a little berries! If I'm short of money, I only need to say one sentence, and many people will send money to my door for my expenses. Even the World Government would be happy to cooperate with me!"

"If you have power but still feel short of money, then it's really a joke."

For Rob's words, Stussy nodded in agreement:

"That makes sense!"

Quickly.

After chatting for a while, Stussy looked over to Rob and asked:

"May I ask you for a piece of information? Why did you take Fish-Man Island as your own territory? The news of this intelligence has been echoed by many big figures in the world recently!"

"I think, based on our friendship, it should be okay to come over and ask you!"

Rob smiled. After glancing at Stussy, he looked back:

"There are two reasons—first, Otohime asked me for help. Pirates, human traffickers, and even Marines have been raiding Fish-Man Island, capturing mermaids to auction for profit. She sought my assistance because there was no one else she could turn to."

"The second reason is that little Shirahoshi, the mermaid princess of Ryugu Kingdom, is my younger sister, and as her elder brother, it's my duty to help her. Is there any problem?"

Tilting her head, Stussy's face showed a hint of surprise:

"It's that simple?"

Rob nodded, giving an affirmative answer:

"It's that simple! If people don't believe this reason, then you can tell them—I like the location of Fish-Man Island, and even the history of Ryugu Kingdom."

Anyway, they had declared to the whole world that Fish-Man Island is their territory.

What is the reason—

There is no need for Rob to care. Telling the truth or lies has no effect on him!

He nodded clearly.

Stussy said:

"I see! Thank you for your answer! Then, I take my leave!"

After saying goodbye, Stussy turned and left.

She came here this time mainly to obtain information about why Rob wanted to make Fish-Man Island his territory, and also to test whether her relationship with Rob could be deepened.

Obviously—

After helping Rob many times, she has initially gained Rob's friendship.

Time passed day by day.

Uta's concert was continuously being prepared, and as the concert date approached, more and more fans of Uta arrived in the Sabaody Archipelago.

These fans were very diverse—

The most common were civilians, followed by a small number of nobles, Marines, pirates, and people of various identities!

Quickly.

More than twenty days passed.

On this day—

The entire Sabaody Archipelago was packed with crowds.

The vast majority of people gathered on Grove No. 38, filling a huge music square. Everyone was holding fluorescent sticks, wearing support uniforms, and holding posters!

Waiting for Uta's debut:

Accompanied by the singing of the first song "New Genesis" at the concert's opening.(T/N: Me listening to that while translating)

This concert, which had been warming up for half a year, finally officially started!

Live viewing and world broadcasting were happening simultaneously.

Not only was the concert scene at the Sabaody Archipelago very lively, but watching the live broadcast from all over the world was also very lively!

For example—

In the New World at this moment.

On an island, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates was also watching Uta's concert. Regardless of the relationship between the two parties, Uta's singing had indeed gained many fans in the Whitebeard Pirates!

On the Red Force.

The Red Hair Pirates, including Lucky Roux, Yasopp, and other veteran cadres, were also watching the live broadcast, wearing support uniforms and holding light sticks, supporting Uta from afar.

On Onigashima in Wano Country.

"Plague" Queen was watching the live broadcast in his own small room!

Another example...

At this moment, on the Holy Land Mariejois, in the office of the Five Elders, they were also watching the screen in front of them, listening to the lyrics sung by Uta, their faces gradually becoming very serious.

Several of them spoke one after another to discuss:

"The name of the first song is called 'New Genesis', and the meaning of the lyrics is quite obvious!"

"Is this guy named Rob using this concert to declare something to us?"

"But I have to say, this little girl named Uta has a really good singing voice. She is indeed a capable person who has eaten the Sing-Sing Fruit! If she is allowed to go to that country, it might be possible to release that thing!"

"There is no such possibility! The existence of that thing, even people in that country no longer know whether it is true or not! How could a group of young people, the oldest of whom is only 22 years old, know?"

"Be careful; there's always nothing wrong with that!"

While the Five Elders were discussing and listening to the concert, their faces gradually showed enjoyment.

Music is indeed a powerful force that can make people empathize!

The premise is—

Great music and a great singer!

At Marine Headquarters.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku looked at the screen in front of him with a very serious face.

Pushing his glasses:

"'New Genesis'? This guy really has evil intentions! He will definitely become a huge threat...but how to deal with him?"

He had a headache.

When facing Rob, Sengoku always had a headache. When he heard Uta's opening song, "New Genesis," combined with the lyrics, Sengoku became more and more sure of his inner view of Rob!

This man—

Is definitely not kind, and his ambition is definitely not small!
