157. Hancock: We Finally Meet Again!
The scene of the concert.
Now--
Robin and Makino are in the background, ensuring Uta's safety in case some people, lacking strength but possessing enough courage, try to hurt her. Uta may not be very effective in combat, but her protectors are vigilant.
Rob is in the audience, watching Uta perform and sing to his heart's content. He's wearing clothes with "UTA" printed on them, holding a light stick, and constantly cheering for Uta, who is shining brightly on stage.
He didn't hide his presence!
Many Uta fans at the concert noticed Rob. At first, everyone was a little confused by Rob's fan-like outfit, but soon no one cared.
Isn't it normal for a brother who dotes on his sister to support her?
In some special heavyweight sections—
Aside from some nobles from around the world, there are also senior Marine generals here. For example, Kizaru, one of the Admirals of Headquarters in a yellow striped suit, Marine Headquarters elite Vice Admirals - Momousagi, Yamakaji, and Onigumo, among others!
Additionally, there are many powerful pirates present.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea's "Knight of the Sea" - Jinbei, "Pirate Empress" - Boa Hancock, and Rayleigh hidden in the crowd are among them. Many pirates with high bounties are also here, but they are lying low.
Of course.
Naturally, the presence of underground world giants like Morgans is indispensable. Some even regard the start of Uta's concert, when it is relatively chaotic, as a good time to trade certain things.
It can be said that a lot of fans have gathered for Uta's concert, but many big names are here with their own agendas. However, no one dares to cause trouble—
Didn't see the "world's strongest man", "the world's number one swordsman", "the world's strongest creature", "the butcher", and "the strongest logia user" Rob, rooting for his sister like a normal fan?
And even though he was helping, the man's sword, Shinto, one of the supreme sharp swords, was pinned at his waist, blatantly warning everyone that anyone who dares to mess around will be dealt with!
With him here—
This concert is basically impossible to mess up!
Above the special VIP seats.
In the section where the Kuja Pirates, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, are seated, the "Pirate Empress" - Boa Hancock's eyes are not on the singing Uta. Instead, her beautiful eyes are watching Rob with interest.
The corners of her mouth raise slightly:
"This is really a surprising side! Rob!"
As a woman who pays close attention to all information about Rob and always thinks about Rob's heroic appearance, in Hancock's heart, there has never been a Rob like this before!
Not that the dream was broken.
Rob like this is unexpected, but surprisingly, he feels very good!
Among whispers.
Hancock's gaze reveals a sense of reminiscence, as if she's returning to the time ten years ago, the unexpected encounter on the sea, and the time when she was rescued by Rob!
Since being rescued—
The three Hancock sisters returned to Amazon Lily. After learning from the previous generation's king what kind of treatment they would have suffered if sold, the three sisters' gratitude towards Rob deepened.
It's just a pity—
Since that unexpected encounter, they have never met again.
The sea is very small.
It's so small that sometimes you can have fateful encounters inadvertently!
The sea is huge.
It's so big that sometimes, you can't see the person you want to see!
Plus—
After being kidnapped by human traffickers, the three sisters had some psychological scars. They worked hard to become stronger and wanted to make themselves outstanding fighters, so they trained for a long time.
Later, the emperor of the Amazon Lily suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away from lovesickness. Hancock, who possessed Conqueror's Haki, became the new ruler and wanted to lead the Amazon Lily forward.
The two who thought they might never meet again.
Now—
Uta's concert was starting at Sabaody Archipelago.
"This concert—"
She shifted her gaze from Uta to Rob.
Hancock felt a bit excited:
"It's almost like a fateful arrangement! Finally—meeting again! Rob."
Unlike the rest of the Kuja Pirates, including her two younger sisters, who came here purely to chase a star and as fans of Uta, Hancock's goal from the very beginning was Rob!
This feeling—
It's not love; otherwise, Hancock would have suffered from the magical "lovesickness" in Daughter Country.
Now Hancock's feelings are just gratitude towards Rob, coupled with years of collecting all kinds of information about him, and accumulated curiosity!
One song after another was sung.
Quickly.
The concert is drawing to a close.
As long as there is a perfect ending, this quite successful concert will come to a perfect close. With the grand stage performance, Uta's dream of becoming the "world's number one singer" must have been achieved successfully.
"Haa"
After singing the last song, Uta exhaled, wiped the sweat off her face, and had a happy smile.
She waved to everyone:
"Everyone! This concert has been a long time coming. As they say - there is no banquet that never ends! Now it's time to say goodbye!"
"Once again, thank you all for your support from afar! I am Uta—a singer who dreams of becoming the 'world's number one singer'! Let us meet again in the future, somewhere on the sea!"
Her voice was loud and full of energy.
After all, she is not the weaker Uta from her original path. She doesn't need to drag the whole world into that "world of singing," so the concert didn't drain too much of her energy!
After Uta's voice fell, the fans at the concert responded loudly:
"UTA! UTA! UTA!"
"Uta, please keep going!"
"We will always support you, Princess Diva!"
"See you in the future! Uta!"
The big figures who came secretly with their own purposes did not make any unnecessary moves. For Uta's dream of becoming "the world's number one singer," they could not deny it, nor did they care much.
Since Rob, the "world's strongest," is willing to spoil his sister so much, they are also willing to show respect.
It doesn't affect their business anyway.
Just when everyone thought it was going to end like this—
The audience suddenly gave way to a wide passage.
Immediately afterwards, three Celestial Dragons in spacesuits and bubble hoods, under the protection of agents in white suits and a group of guards, walked toward the grand stage where Uta was.
The moment the three Celestial Dragons appeared, the expressions of many residents of Sabaody Archipelago changed drastically, and they knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads!
At that moment—
The atmosphere of the concert immediately cooled down visibly!
"Oh—"
On the other side of the auditorium.
Kizaru, who was dispatched to prevent accidents, twitched the corner of his mouth the moment he saw the Celestial Dragons appear.
He subconsciously said:
"This is bad!"
As a Marine Admiral, Kizaru knew very well what the Celestial Dragons were like. He originally thought it was just a paid vacation and a paid concert, but now he understood that huge troubles were coming.
Not only Kizaru, but everyone at the concert and those watching the live broadcast realized that a huge change was about to happen.
"Unpleasant!"
The three Celestial Dragons made their way through the crowd, with the female Celestial Dragon walking sideways to the stage. She looked at Uta with dissatisfaction:
"I haven't heard enough. Who allowed you to end the concert privately? Forget it. After I capture you and turn you into my slave, you can sing as much as I want you to, for as long as I want you to sing!"
"You, bring this woman back to me! I want her to be my exclusive slave!"
As soon as the female Celestial Dragon's voice fell, the guards protecting the three Celestial Dragons, all clad in solid armor, responded and rushed toward Uta on the stage.
The sound of swords being drawn echoed, and immediately after, all the Celestial Dragon guards rushing toward Uta were cut down, their bodies split in two, their heads flying off one by one. The headless corpses lay on the ground.
Dozens of heads rolled down, and dozens of headless bodies fell to the ground. Blood flowed freely under the stage, the dazzling red and the strong smell of blood quickly spreading.
This scene—
Shocked the hearts of many ordinary fans!
Just as chaos was about to break out, and the three Celestial were being protected by the reacting CP0 and their remaining guards.
Thump.
The sound of heavy footsteps suddenly echoed through the concert, followed by an overwhelming pressure falling directly on everyone, suppressing their screams and panic that were about to burst out!
Thump.
Rob, wearing his support uniform, walked onto the stage, holding the cold and monstrous Shinto in his hand. An oppressive force encased everyone at the scene!
Seeing Rob with Shinto in his hands and feeling the faint chill emanating from him, the big shots hidden in every corner had serious faces, and some felt their scalps go numb.
They knew very well—
If nothing unexpected happens, in the next few minutes, there will be a big event that will shock the world!
(T/N: Was this predictable, for me it was)
