Chapter 39 – Exposing the horror of the Sing-Sing Fruit

At this moment, Nami wished she could fly directly to Oak Town, right to where Arton is, and then, grabbing his arm, demand the Elizabeth Bathory template from him.

However, she ultimately isn't Bartholomew Kuma and doesn't have the ability to fly to Arton's side immediately. And Arton, after all, can't hear her words. Thus, Arton also can't give her the Elizabeth Bathory template.

[By the way, if someone who's genuinely good at singing used Elizabeth's template, might that be better?]

[No, that Elizabeth sings poorly actually adds to her power.]

[If someone too good at singing used Elizabeth's template, wouldn't that mean they couldn't perfectly utilize the Noble Phantasm: Báthory Erzsébet's power? Without the noise-level singing, only the ultrasonic waves could harm the enemies, right?"]

The women, upon seeing Arton's message, couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

It's also lucky that Elizabeth isn't by Arton's side at the moment. Otherwise, she might have grabbed Arton's hand and personally sung for him day and night.

[Wait, that's not necessarily true.]

[If it's Uta, even if she loses the attribute of singing poorly, she might still be able to perfectly wield Elizabeth Bathory's power. After all, she's the user of the Sing-Sing Fruit."]

"Red-Haired Shanks' daughter?" Gion frowned, "The Sing-Sing Fruit! Is she the one who destroyed Elegia with this fruit's power?"

Although Gion doesn't yet know the specific abilities of the Sing-Sing Fruit, thinking about Arton's mention that Uta destroyed the Land of Music with this fruit, and contemplating the destruction Uta could cause after inheriting Elizabeth's power, she became serious.

Similarly, everyone who learned about Uta from Arton's diary watched with serious expressions.

This also includes Uta herself, who is currently looking for Arton on the streets.

"Eh! Arton actually wants me to use Elizabeth's power?"

"It seems... pretty good."

"Elizabeth seems to have a very strong lung capacity."

"If I had such strong lung capacity, singing would become much easier, right?"

"And the sound amplification equipment summoned by that demonic lance, since it can amplify noise, surely it can also amplify my singing."

Uta rested her cheek in her hand, murmuring to herself.

At this moment, Uta didn't yet realize that even if she were to sing a beautiful melody, performing under the effect of "Báthory Erzsébet" would turn even the loveliest tune into a powerful ultrasonic wave that crushes her adversaries before her.

Of course, compared to the original "Báthory Erzsébet" utilized by Elizabeth, the version Uta would wield might envelop her foes in the beauty of a Sing goddess, only to destroy them with ultrasonic waves.

[The Sing-Sing Fruit has the ability to draw the souls of those who hear the user's singing into a virtual world of music.]

[While the bodies of those whose souls are drawn into the virtual music world fall into a comatose state, under the control of the Sing-Sing Fruit user.]

[This ability is undoubtedly powerful.]

[In the future, Uta has used this power to draw many powerful marines and pirates into a virtual music world.]

[Among them are two high-bounty pirates, each with a bounty of 3 billion berries, one of whom is a new Four Emperor.]

[Moreover, eighty percent of the world's population was drawn into the virtual music world because they listened to Uta's concert.]

[This Sing-Sing Fruit, if used properly, could totally bring about the apocalypse.]

Seeing Arton's diary entry, Uta didn't feel too surprised.

After all, she had once drawn Red-Haired Shanks into the virtual music world with her singing.

Of course, she was amazed by some parts.

"Will eighty percent of the world really listen to my concert?"

"Did I achieve my dream and become a world-class idol?"

"That's wonderful."

"But why did I die?"

Uta was initially happy about becoming a world-class idol.

But the thought of her imminent death soon dampened her spirits.

"Damn it, once I find you, I must get a clear answer."

Uta stomped her foot and resumed running, searching for Arton on the streets.

While she wasn't surprised, the other ladies who saw the diary entry were astonished.

Nico Robin: "To think one could draw the entire world's population into a virtual space with a Sing, such a Devil Fruit could indeed destroy the world if used properly."

Charlotte Smoothie: "A little girl possessing such a dangerous Devil Fruit, Mother would surely be very interested in her."

Yamato: "Wow, that's incredible, far more powerful than my Devil Fruit."

Ulti: "What? Just don't listen to her singing, and it'll be fine, right?"

Vivi: "If I had such power, maybe I could directly confront the Baroque Works."

Kalifa: "Such power would definitely not be allowed to exist by the World Government."

Stussy: "Interesting. I wonder if anyone else in the World Government has obtained a diary. If so, the higher-ups might have a headache, hehe."

[Tashigi: Ain-san, Captain Hina, Vice Admiral Gion, can a Devil Fruit really do something like this?]

[Ain: I... I don't know.]

[Hina: Hina is surprised, but if Arton says so, there shouldn't be any mistake.]

[Gion: Indeed, it's a terrifying power, but it's good that we know about it here. As long as we're prepared, we should be able to avoid being pulled into the virtual music space by the Sing-Sing Fruit. Perhaps even if we are pulled in, there might be a way to escape. Such a powerful Devil Fruit definitely has some limitations.]

After leaving her comment in the chat group, Gion's brows didn't relax.

Reading Arton's description of the Sing-Sing Fruit's abilities and considering the powers possessed by Elizabeth, her heart grew even heavier.

"The already troublesome Sing-Sing Fruit, combined with Elizabeth's power..."

"The daughter of Red-Haired, what kind of monster will you become?"

"Arton, if you invite her to be your companion..."

"The Marines and the World Government might put a lot of effort into pursuing and capturing you."

Gion murmured to herself.

If Arton heard Gion's comments, while he might be surprised that the Marines and World Government are aware of Uta's abilities, he definitely wouldn't be afraid.

Even though he isn't yet powerful enough to dominate the world, given enough time, neither the Marines nor the World Government would matter to Arton.

"Wait, did Arton mention a new Four Emperor?!"

Suddenly, as if something occurred to her, Gion exclaimed in surprise.
