Chapter 738(1/2)

"Uta? Why is Uta singing again? She obviously has no physical strength."

In the Song Fruit World, everyone sitting in the air panting was a little shocked when they heard the sudden singing, especially Luffy.

Just after fighting that Totomiuska, he could already clearly feel Uta's weakness. With her condition, if it weren't for the Sleepless Mushroom, she would have died long ago.

She can no longer even sustain the soul world she created. It is impossible for her to still have the energy to sing at this time.

Robbie was obviously more awake than Luffy who was also struggling. He frowned, looked at the misty sea in the distance, and said, "It's not Uta's singing, it's Lieutenant General Skyler's singing."

"Yes, it is the song of Madam Sir, yo ho ho ho~ I never thought that I would be able to hear Madam Sir's song again in my lifetime. No, I'm already dead."

Brooke was still making stupid skeleton jokes, and no one except Luffy was laughing, because at this time, the singing voice, which was different from Skyler's usual speech and blended into the ups and downs of his voice, came again.

"I walk on water~

But only when it freezes~”

I walk on water, but I am not God. I walk on water, but only when it is frozen.

The lyrics are very straightforward, and the allusions are also very simple, but Brooke touched the bone seam of his chin and murmured: "Doing extraordinary things is like walking on thin ice."

As the ultimate veteran singer who has been famous in the music scene since decades ago, Brooke's understanding of music is far beyond ordinary people.

Even though Skyler didn't sing very seriously, but more like humming on the bedside to lull him to sleep, Brooke still began to analyze unconsciously.

Walk on water not only means walking on water, nor is it just a reference to the allusion of dividing the sea, it can also be used to describe extraordinary things that are difficult to accomplish.

Obviously, Brooke also thought of this. This was within the scope of his expertise. He looked at the frozen sea where Skyler was standing, a little surprised.

How appropriate are the lyrics that Skyler hummed at this time? Not only this scene, but also reflects her past. Skyler has been doing extraordinary things since she became famous.

After completing one incredible thing after another, Skyler has now been exalted to a height that no mortal can reach. In some people's hearts, Skyler has even replaced the position of God.

But only Skyler and the people who accompanied her in completing incredible things knew the dangers Skyler faced along the way. She lived to achieve success, but the hardships and dangers involved were difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Therefore, Brooke felt that the lines hummed by Skyler were very appropriate.

At the same time, Brooke also realized that Skyler was actually advising Uta that Uta had created a world in which Uta was almost omnipotent.

What she said about bringing people into a new era was undoubtedly placing herself in the position of a god, but Skyler used herself as an example to tell Uta that even she was not a god, so what did Uta have?

How can one claim to be a god?

After all, Skyler has more than once denied what people call the "era" she created, or the "new era" she is about to lead the world to.

Brooke recalled that whenever his wife was asked such a question, she would always say that the world is made up of the masses, the era is created by the masses, and she just happened to get some limelight.

You must know that Skyler has never been a modest or inferior person. She should be arrogant and will not be weaker than others at all. She only never agrees with heroes creating the situation.

He obviously has the power to dominate others, but he never thinks that he is superior to others. Thinking of this, Brooke thought of the lightning kid in the detachment.

He doesn't have much strength, but he keeps shouting that he is a so-called god. It's just that he has been beaten too many times over the years, so he doesn't dare to say such things easily.

". If I walked on water I would drown~"

While Brooke's thoughts were turning, Skyler had stopped humming. She only hummed for a short period. Firstly, it was not a good time to sing karaoke at all. Secondly, she could not remember too many songs and lyrics.

.

Skyler stopped humming, looked at Uta who had calmed down, and said, "I've finished singing, can you wake up now and bring everyone back to reality?"

Uta did not answer immediately, but was silent for a while and said: "Lieutenant General Skyler, was I your mistake?"

"???"

Skyler looked confused, but Uta stared at Skyler and said: "I am twenty-one years old. When I was a child, I heard from Uncle Ben that twenty-two years ago, the red-haired pirates met the Zhanye detachment in the East China Sea.

.

Twenty-one years ago, you returned to the Navy Headquarters, but soon, you, who was only a colonel at the time, were sent to the new world. Is this a punishment? "

Skyler, who had already reacted and noticed something was wrong in Uta's words, turned gloomy and frowned tightly, saying: "I don't know where you got the information from, but it's all wrong information.

I don’t care if someone told you this information or it was just your own wild imagination, but I have nothing to do with you. Now, wake up and let everyone return to reality.”

Skyler's tone no longer had the ups and downs like when he was humming just now, but returned to being as flat as stagnant water without any ups and downs.

Hearing this, the corners of Uta's mouth gradually drooped, the hope in his eyes faded little by little, the hand holding the skirt gradually became harder, and his breathing became short, as if he was suppressing sobs.

"I, I understand, please don't. Don't be angry."

Uta still let go of his hands, and then, holding on to the smooth ice surface, he carefully used his strength and kept trying to exert force to stand up.

When she finally stood firm, she looked at Skyler who was doing it a head faster than her. She didn't seem to know where to put her hands, but just grabbed the ends of her hair.

One hand had red hair like blood and fire, and the other hand had white hair that looked like it had been colored by peach blossoms. As Uta kept pulling at the ends of her hair, her head kept being lowered.

"Actually, I know that I was picked up by Shanks. I have no father or mother. But just like me, I clearly know that I destroyed Elegia."

Uta spoke intermittently with a heavy nasal voice. Shanks outside the barrier looked at Uta's trembling body and the words that were suppressing sobs.

Shanks also gradually lowered his head, covered his face with his hands, and his shoulders shook at an imperceptible level.

"As long as you know."

But at this moment, Skyler's emotionless voice sounded again. After Uta heard this, his body even stopped shaking, as if it was still there.

Shanks raised his head, and his eyes, which had been filled with tears for some time, looked at Skyler's back, and there was an unprecedented pleading in his eyes.

'What if I lie to her even once?'

Iregia and the few people who were still awake looked at Shanks and Uta in Shanks's arms. Tears continued to flow out of their tightly closed eyes, and they all showed some confusion.

Kizaru, who was isolated outside the circle, saw the red-haired pirate leader's absent-mindedness, his blurred eyes behind the visor, suddenly lit up, and his right hand was slightly raised.

"Da~"

However, Yisheng's left hand was pressing on Kizaru's right hand. Kizaru turned his head to look at Yisheng with some doubts, but at this time, Yisheng's white eyes also had fluorescent lights.

Obviously, this general who could not see anything might have seen more than anyone else at this time.

Kizaru doesn't understand very well, but he is a person who respects his colleagues very much. After all, it is a very troublesome thing if he disagrees with his colleagues, just like Sakaski and Kuzan.

Thinking of those two people, Kizaru calmly lowered his raised right hand and put it into his pocket.

At this time, Uta, who was lying in Shanks' arms, slowly opened her eyes. She opened her eyes and looked around. She looked at the countless civilians and sailors lying on the ground around her, with guilt on her face.

"I walk on water~"

No one expected that Uta would start singing immediately after waking up. It was at this time that the fruit's ability was activated along with the singing, spreading throughout Iregia and the entire world through the relay phone bug.

.

"Uta."

Seeing the guilt and exhaustion in Uta's eyes, the big cadres of the red-haired group also buried their heads deeply at this time, because Uta's current situation was caused by their past immaturity.

Whether it was being used by Tot Musica to unconsciously awaken the demon king and destroy Iregia, or whether it was her loneliness for more than ten years that gave her a one-sided and extreme vision and personality.

This was all due to their immaturity back then. For more than ten years, they had been burdened with the reputation of destroying a kingdom, but they had no intention of getting rid of it.

Because this is their responsibility, they should have taken good care of and protect Uta, because they are all Uta's parents, but if they didn't do it well, they should bear all this.

The German singer clutched a medicine bottle tightly, and looked at Uta, whose eyes were full of guilt and exhaustion, but was still singing loudly. His nose and throat seemed to be blocked, and he could not say anything.

"'Cause I'm only human just like you~Making my mistakes oh if you only knew~"

I'm just a human being like you, and you know, I make mistakes too.

Such lyrics were like sharp knives piercing the hearts of everyone in the red-haired group. They didn't know that Uta was just covering the lyrics hummed by Skyler, thinking that this was Uta's heartfelt voice.

Back then, they just thought that they didn't want Uta to bear the blame for destroying a kingdom, but they never thought about whether the eight-year-old girl could accept the loss of her family.

They thought that by shouldering the blame and infamy themselves, Uta could continue to live without any burden, but they never thought about whether that girl could calmly accept that her family members had become enemies.

They just left Uta behind, abandoned her in this country full of death and lamentations, and took away everything she had.

Uta's singing gradually became weak, but the eyelids of those who were unconscious in Iregia began to beat, and their hands and feet also resumed some movements.

"Da~"

Shanks raised his head, and tears suddenly fell on Uta's forehead. Uta also stopped singing at this time, and the fatigue in her eyes slowly faded away. It was not that her emotions disappeared, but that she was about to fall into a coma again, and this time

.

She couldn't wake up anymore.

Shanks anxiously grabbed the medicine bottle from De Singer and was about to feed it to Uta, but Uta used the last bit of strength to push Shanks' hand away because Shanks' hand blocked her

sight.

At this time, everyone discovered that a translucent figure was standing in front of Uta.

"Skyler-chan?~"

"Lieutenant General Skyler?"

Others also discovered the translucent figure at this time, but Skyler seemed not to notice them. This was indeed the case. Skyler, who was in his soul state at this time, could only vaguely see Uta.

A feeling of being withdrawn was lingering around her at this time, and Skyler also realized that she would return to her body at any time.

Uta looked at Skyler, a smile appeared on his tear-stained face, stretched out his hand towards Skyler, and said like a coquettish person: "Are you lying to me?.mama"

Skyler did not answer, and his expression did not change. He waited quietly. Shanks clenched his fist again at this time, and the dark glass bottle even had white marks due to the squeeze of his palm.
