Uta's Idol.

Concert Of A Lifetime.

Thank you all for your votes and I appreciate the effort you guys took to make this chapter meaningful. As reward, get ready for a long and fun chapter! A little reminder, the songs that are used will be translated from Japanese to English. Some quotes aren't exact to the movie. I don't own One Piece nor the songs used.

Evening slowly reaches Elegia and the Red Haired Pirates regroup and walks back to their ship. Uta was ecstatic about her first day and can barely contain her excitement tomorrow's singing competition. Rather than competing, Gordon allowed Uta to be the opening and closing act for the competition so Uta can get a full audience. Uta has decided to practice the three songs that she bought as she never has taken a glimpse of such beautiful music. After the pirates ate their dinner, Uta runs back to her room and begins to examine the music that Shanks bought.

"I've never read songs like these before." Uta said to herself.

Uta only knows old sailor songs and some occasional classical music. Songs from bands and singers are not something she's familiar of. Uta lays on her bed and hums the music out loud.

"The world of music is such a big place." Uta sighs with a smile.

She sees her bracelet dangle and smiles happily. She can't wait to go back to Foosha Village to sing this to Luffy. Meanwhile, Shanks and Beckman were sharing a drink up on deck. Unlike normal drinking sessions, the atmosphere was tense.

"Do you believe the king?" Shanks asks Beckman.

"Are you talking about Tot Musica?" The first mate asks. "It didn't sound like he was making it up."

Shanks nod in agreement and sips some of his sake. He and Beckman didn't tell Gordon that Uta was a user of the Sing Sing Fruit, due to the fear of the curse story.

"My captain once mentioned something about Tot Musica." Shanks said breaking the silence. "I don't remember the details, but he did describe it as demonic."

Beckman takes a sip of his own sake in silence.

"Putting that aside, what do you think of the connection of the Sing Sing fruit and Elegia?" Beckman asks. "Uta was really enjoying herself."

Shanks nod a bit sadly. The first mate notices this and sighs.

"Allow Uta to decide what she wants." Beckman said putting a hand in his captain's shoulder. "We're staying here for a few more days so let's try and enjoy ourselves. Forget about the kingdom's past for the day and get some rest."

"Yeah, your right." Shanks said grinning. "Uta has a big day tomorrow. We need to give her all of our support."

~The next day...

The pirates wake up at their usual time, but someone woke up earlier than usual.

Ok, time for training, then learn the music.

Waking up at seven am, which is an hour earlier than her normal wake up time, Uta puts her hair up and puts on her workout clothes. As much as she would want to learn the music, the diva didn't want to skip out on her training. She hasn't forgot her goal regarding learning her haki. After her physical workout, Uta does some meditating, which some of her crew mates recommended, to enhance her focus. Once she completes her meditation, she picks up the music sheets to learn how to read it. Gordon has allowed Uta to ask any of the residents for help if she needed it, but she want to accomplish this with her own abilities. She reads the music and hums it to herself. She has never heard of any of these songs, so she's going to have to rely on her imagination when she sings. Thankfully, it's her forte so she's confident in her ability to successfully sing these songs. The event starts in the evening, so Uta has plenty of time to learn.
