Chapter 675: 675 Here, I, the Hunter, am protecting it!

"Hello everyone! It Uta!"

It had to be said that Uta was a natural singer the moment she stood on the stage, her entire temperament transformed.

"I have to thank Mr. Morgans for his help, allowing my voice to be heard by even more people. Also, I have some little guests here today, and Uta will be performing together with them for everyone!"

Amidst Uta energetic voice, Shermie Meow and Sasha Meow also stepped onto the stage. Even Gordon, seized by a sudden youthful vigor, went up to provide accompaniment on the violin.

As the lights on the stage shifted and flowed, the performance by Uta and the Felynes officially began. The song they performed was one Uta had written herself, titled "New Genesis."

Despite only having rehearsed roughly twice, the two humans and two Felynes on stage were all musicians with talent far exceeding that of ordinary people, and there wasn’t a single mistake in their performance.

Once the song ended, whether it was the Felyne Investigation Team on-site, the common citizens listening to the song through Transponder Snails, or even the pirates who had followed closely behind Sherwin, all were conquered by the performance of Uta and the Felynes.

Immediately afterward, Klee Meow, who had been unable to hold back any longer, also jumped onto the stage and joined Uta performance.

Then came Jinx, Sanji Meow, Link Meow, Shirahoshi, and the other little ones who loved excitement even Suika Meow went up and performed a set of Drunken Fist.

Although they couldn’t compare to professional performers like Uta and Shermie Meow, the Felyne adorable appearances and Shirahoshi peerless beauty—which was gradually blossoming to rival even Hancock—left audiences all over the world mesmerized.

As for Sherwin, after aiming the lens at the stage, he stopped worrying about the viewers watching the live broadcast and didn’t even bother to offer further explanations.

Throughout the entire performance, he simply had Purah Meow use the "drone" Guardian to take a panoramic shot, showing the full view of Elegia to the world.

Sherwin believed that for the rest, those people would figure out the situation for themselves.

And in fact, this was the case. The "destruction" of Elegia by the Red-Haired Pirates had occurred within the last ten years, and it had not been forgotten by the world so quickly.

So when the full view of Elegia appeared on the screen, some of the more senior navigators and well-traveled pirates, once they had pulled themselves away from the performance, quickly realized that this was not Egghead Island, but the once-famous Island of Music, Elegia...

"So, you’re telling me now that this was all just a misunderstanding?"

BIG MOM voice was low and questioning as she picked up the call from Cracker.

Feeling the fury conveyed in BIG MOM voice, Cracker swallowed hard, but he still answered honestly, "Y-yes, Mama... however, we have already found the pirate who first spread this news..."

"Ma-ma-ma-ma... forget it."

BIG MOM had indeed considered the idea of pulling out that fellow soul to vent her anger, but then she felt it was somewhat dull.

So, she casually decided the person fate...

"Just kill that guy yourself. Then, go say hello to Sherwin for me, and while you’re at it, invite that little girl who was just singing to perform at my Tea Party."

"Understood, Mama."

Cracker breathed a long sigh of relief.

In truth, that so-called first pirate who spread the news didn’t exist at all.

Almost all the scouts from every faction had misunderstood Sherwin intentions at the time.

Cracker had simply fabricated a target to deflect BIG MOM rage at worst, he could just grab any scapegoat later to appease her.

Now, he didn’t even need to bring anyone back, and the only slight risk of being found out had vanished.

Cracker finally relaxed, immersing himself completely in the performance by Uta and the Felynes.

Meanwhile, on Egghead Island—the true objective of Cracker and the other pirates—Vegapunk was watching the live broadcast along with his clones.

"What a wonderful singing voice."

Uta voice—or rather, the voices of the truly great musicians in this world—possessed a magic that even forced Vegapunk to set aside his work.

One must remember that in order to have more time for research, he had specifically delegated most of his physiological needs to his clone representing "Desire," York.

However, as he continued to watch, something began to feel off.

"Why do the things on that stage look a bit familiar?"

As the Felynes joined in the fun and took to the stage, Vegapunk was momentarily drawn away from Uta beautiful singing, his attention captured by products he had once designed himself.

Edison, the clone representing "Thought," was the first to react.

"Isn’t that the technology we left behind in our hometown?!"

"That right! Sentomaru mentioned that Sherwin had visited that island!"

Reminded by his clone, Vegapunk also realized the truth. "To be able to manufacture and put our inventions to use so quickly, and even modify them according to personal preference... I want to meet that little one named Purah Meow more and more."

Under the gaze of countless people, the performance of Uta and the Felynes gradually drew to a close.

However, before the broadcast ended, Uta extended an invitation to musicians across the entire world—

"This is Elegia, the Island of Music. To everyone who loves music, you are welcome to come here as guests. Let us work together to make Elegia great again!"

Well, hearing those lines, one could tell that this was actually Sherwin idea.

The reason he had Uta do this was primarily to give her a different way to alleviate her guilt, so she would stop thinking about that "Uta World" plan.

Uta, who already felt guilty about being the true culprit behind Elegia destruction, immediately agreed without hesitation after Sherwin proposed the idea.

As the former king of this place, Gordon naturally had no reason to refuse either.

As the proposer, Sherwin also exercised his rights as an "Emperor of the Sea" for the first time, hanging the paw-print flag of the Felyne Investigation Team above the newly built stage.

Shirahoshi was even a little jealous about this...

Because she had wanted to hang their paw-print flag on Fishman Island long ago.

It was just that Whitebeard pirate flag was already hanging there, and hanging the Investigation Team paw-print flag as well was somewhat inappropriate.

Even if Whitebeard didn’t mind, King Neptune would likely not agree.

Furthermore, Sherwin thinking had been influenced by the customs of the pirate world back then he felt that hanging a flag, like other pirates, was equivalent to occupying territory, so he had been quite resistant to such behavior.

But now...

All the Felynes in our family are wanted by the World Government, so there no point in worrying about that anymore.

Most importantly, with Uta here, Sherwin doesn’t need to worry too much about the safety of Elegia.

Shanks will naturally work for free, and Sherwin, who hates trouble, can completely be a hands-off boss.

Today broadcast was made on such a grand scale that even if Shank other arm were bitten off, he would definitely receive the news.
