3rd POV
Gen looked up at Uta as she glared down at him, "That's enough."
"Why are you siding with them? You're just a tool to them, like I was.." Uta said.
"You're wrong, Uta."
Gordon stepped forward, "I lied..."
"Twelve years ago... it wasn't the Red Haired Pirates who destroyed Elegia... It was Tot Musica! I'm sorry... that I never told you the truth before."
"Do you remember the party from that day? When the musicians of he city learned, you were leaving with Shanks. They realized it was their last chance and had you sing non stop and arranged it so that your singing would play throughout the land. And that was the mistake."
"That singing beckoned to a score that had been sealed deep under the castle! That score was... Tot Musica. It found its way to your side and tempted you so that it would be set free with the powers of the Uta Uta no Mi."

"The girl's got a hell of a voice. We can't keep her cooped up on a boat while we're on the run from the Navy." Shanks said, "Please. Make her into the greatest singer in the world. Her singing isn't a crime."
"Shanks.... I understand! As the king of Elegia, I, Gordon, swear upon the love my subjects felt for music!! I will turn Uta into a singer, who will spread joy to the entire world!!"
