Isn’t this Shank daughter?! So this person actually exists!

Well, it makes sense. Shiki, Zephyr, and Tesoro from the movies are all here, so it only natural that Shank daughter would exist too...

By the way, what was her name again?

Regarding the movie "Red", Sherwin impression wasn’t very clear. He mostly remembered that the songs were pretty good, the plot was a mess, and there was a music demon that really didn’t fit the One Piece art style. In the end, the little girl died because she ate poisonous mushrooms...

What a Yunnan girl.

Come to think of it, that girl really was quite delusional.

Poisonous... mushrooms really ruin people!

"Sherwin-kyun~ Can we go here meow?"

(=ω=)

Shermie Meow voice snapped Sherwin back to reality, and Sasha Meow next to her was also looking at him with an expectant face...

Right, Athena also has the title of Goddess of the Arts.

Sherwin could pretty much guess what the two kittens were thinking they probably just heard her singing was good and wanted to go exchange some ideas.

"Of course, no problem." Sherwin rubbed the heads of the two art-type cats, but still asked curiously, "By the way, how did you receive this footage?"

"A friend from the music hobbyist group I joined shared it with me meow~"

(=`=)

Shermie Meow shook her little head and replied, "Mr. Brook is also a member of this group meow!"

Sherwin actually knew a bit about that music club because Tesoro had introduced it to them. He usually scouted for talented singers there and invited them to perform on the Gran Tesoro.

The members of this music club communicated using a fixed public frequency via Den Den Mushi, which was somewhat similar to a Den Den Mushi version of a chat group.

However, since Den Den Mushi lacked cloud storage capabilities, it was impossible to view chat history.

If someone missed a shared image or video, they could only wait for the next time or for a forward from someone else who had recorded it.

When Shermie Meow was free, she would often post recordings of her own musical performances, occasionally featuring Klee Meow, Jinx, and Shirahoshi as well.

In fact, it wasn’t just Shermie Meow music club Huamei intelligence network also utilized similar "groups," though the frequencies used for these intelligence groups were much more discreet and encrypted.

"Oh..."

Sherwin scratched his head in confusion. In his memory, the Den Den Mushi Uta used should have been something like a live-streaming application that could be received by a massive crowd of people.

In reality, Sherwin had been misled by the way it was presented in the movie.

The special Den Den Mushi Uta used was actually a prototype from Vegapunk, and the number of Den Den Mushi it could directly connect to was quite limited.

What most people saw were actually rebroadcasts by local stations.

The reason a massive number of people could listen to her songs simultaneously in the movie was that Uta was already incredibly famous by then and a lot of promotion had been done beforehand, leading to real-time broadcasts all over the world.

At this current point in time, Uta had only just begun her "live streams," and her singing was only spreading within a small circle.

It was only because Shermie Meow had joined this music club that they were able to encounter it so early.

Although it was hard to understand what was going on for a moment, it wasn’t difficult to find where Uta was located.

After all, it was the Red-Haired Pirate "war of national destruction." Sherwin simply made a phone call to Morgans, a member of the Felynes Investigation Team scribe squad, and asked for the name of the island—Elegia, the Island of Music.

However, when Sherwin asked Morgans for a Permanent Pose to Elegia, he didn’t send it over immediately as he usually did.

Because...

After that once-famous Island of Music was "destroyed" by Red-Haired, nothing but ruins remained.

Consequently, the vast majority of the Permanent Poses for that island had been discarded by the World Economic Journal, with only a few kept just in case.

It would take some time to dig them out of the warehouse.

In Morgan own words—

There wasn’t even anyone there to subscribe to a newspaper the News Birds didn’t even fly in that direction.

Actually, when Sherwin had watched the movie, he felt it was particularly unreasonable.

Although Elegia was destroyed and the treasures on it were taken away by the Red-Haired Pirates, the resources on the island were still there.

Yet, for over ten years, truly not a single person had set foot on it.

Furthermore, the reactions from the Navy and the World Government were also strange.

They clearly knew there was a demon capable of destroying the world on that island, yet they completely ignored it.

It wasn’t until Uta released that demon once again that they rushed over to drag down Luffy and Shanks...

As his memories were gradually awakened during the process of inquiring with Morgans, Sherwin curled his lips. This plot was indeed a pile of garbage.

"Why do you suddenly want to go to that place?"

After promising to send the Permanent Pose for Elegia to Sherwin as soon as it was found, Morgans keenly sensed the scent of big news.

"Are you guys planning to do something big over there again?!"

The Den Den Mushi perfectly reproduced that bird-man excited expression.

Sherwin: "..."

"Unfortunately, we went there to discuss music."

He threw a bucket of cold water on Morgans.

"Discuss music? That place was completely destroyed by Red-Hair. Where are the musicians for you to talk music with?"

Morgans, who had heard Shermie Meow performance before, didn’t think Sherwin was lying he was just baffled by the choice.

"If you want to find famous musicians, I can help introduce some. Elegia is no longer the Island of Music it once was."

Clearly, even an intelligence tycoon like Morgans hadn’t obtained information regarding Uta.

However, this was normal. Given the general environment of the pirate world, entertainment definitely wasn’t a high priority.

Only in an anime could a global idol emerge in such a precarious world where people struggled for survival.

After briefly explaining Uta existence to Morgans—without revealing that she was Shank daughter—that bird-man predictably didn’t show much interest...

"I see. An orphan of Elegia? I didn’t expect anyone to survive there."

Morgans let out a casual sigh of emotion before immediately changing the subject. "Speaking of which, Sherwin, do you know where Vegapunk is right now? Quite a few people have been paying big money to ask me for news about him lately."

"I know."

"As I thought, you don’t kno—wait, what?! You know?!!"

Morgans, who had only asked in passing, suddenly became excited. "Can you tell me?! You’ll get the lion share of the money from the sale!"

Even though he had to be wary of the World Government and couldn’t fully publicize such explosive news, nothing stopped Morgans from selling this intelligence to Kaido, BIG MOM, and other great pirates.

Sherwin pondered for a moment and replied, "I don’t know the exact location. I only know the island is named Egghead, and it located in the second half of the Grand Line."

He naturally didn’t care about the measly bit of money from selling information if he really wanted to make a profit, Sherwin could have simply had Huamei step forward, cutting out any middlemen from taking a cut.

The reason for telling Morgans this news was because Sherwin intended to cause some trouble for the World Government.

With the God Knights joining the fray, the expansion of Kaido and BIG MOM would certainly be hindered.

They weren’t foolish enough to fight to the death against the World Government without a clear objective.

Therefore, if Sherwin didn’t spread this news, the two sides would likely reach a stalemate after a period of tension, making it difficult for a real chaotic brawl to break out.

However, if Kaido and BIG MOM learned that Egghead Island was actually in the New World, the situation would be entirely different.

The World Government, which originally only needed to maintain a defensive posture, would inevitably be forced to deploy a massive number of troops to the New World to protect Vegapunk.

Meanwhile, Kaido and BIG MOM, being on their own turf, naturally wouldn’t back down easily.

Furthermore, since Egghead Island cannot be captured by a Log Pose, Sherwin could also use the manpower of these pirates to locate the exact position of the island. If luck was on his side, he might even be able to follow along and fish in troubled waters.

As for the possibility of Vegapunk actually falling into the hands of Kaido and the others...

Sherwin didn’t think it mattered much.

Felyne technology was second to none!

The broadcast Transponder Snail used by Uta was actually a prototype of the one Vegapunk later used to reveal the truth about Joy Boy and the Blank History to the entire world...

And yet, it was just picked up by Uta on the beach.

Considering that Mythical Zoan fruit left behind at Punk Hazard, it seems Vegapunk doesn’t place much value on his own research results.
