Starting as a Roger Pirates Apprentice

Chapter 589: Chapter 589 Pirate King: Red-Haired Songstress (2)

With the arrival of the Great Age of Pirates, for the strong, this was the best era.

Because here, everyone could set out recklessly, act to realize their dreams. It was the freest era, and the one filled with the most heroic ambitions.

But correspondingly, the Great Age of Pirates was also the hell of the weak.

"We’re really at the end of the road. No one has ever cared about people like us."

"Yeah... we often cover our faces and cry..."

"I’m so hungry..."

"The World Government and the Marines all say our misfortune is caused by pirates. They say pirates are vicious criminals."

"That’s not right!!! Even if that’s partly true, the root cause is the Celestial Dragons of the World Government. Saying it’s because of pirates is just shifting the blame!!!"

"But pirates plundering people is also a fact..."

"Please, only you can help us!!!"

"Let us find comfort!!!"

Across the entire world, tickets for the concert of the world’s top superstar Uta were being distributed. Even the World Economic News had obtained the rights for the promotion.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

"The savior of the whole world, Uta~"

Inside the headquarters office of the World Economic News, a bird-man sat in the boss’s chair. At this moment, his wings held a ticket—it was none other than the recently sensational Uta concert ticket.

Unfortunately, this ticket was being distributed for free to the public.

"Although we can’t get a share from ticket sales, receiving a special reward from the Music Kingdom is still a pretty good deal~"

After all, it was nothing more than giving the news-carrying seagulls a little more work and feeding them two extra pieces of bread.

Fly a hundred kilometers—fuel consumption: one piece of bread.

For the News King, squeezing the seagulls had long been the norm. No wonder the Seagull King didn’t have a good attitude toward this former boss.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi on his desk rang.

Morgans answered with a smile, but the smile didn’t last long before his expression turned serious.

"So it’s an order from Orin-sama?!!!"

"It seems this won’t be simple..."

After hanging up the call, Morgans thought for a long time before finally deciding to continue distributing the tickets, but strictly forbade his employees from watching the concert.

After all, this could very likely turn into a huge piece of news!!!

Why stop it from happening?

Besides, what Orin-sama said was only to prohibit people from the Underworld from watching...

Meanwhile, through Sammi’s network, nearly all the big bosses of the Underworld received the news and ordered their subordinates not to watch it.

Inevitably, the news also spread through the Underworld to other forces.

Although most forces didn’t understand the reason, many still chose to follow along to avoid unknown risks.

Orin naturally didn’t care whether others listened or not. So when he received Sammi’s report, he simply ignored it.

He sat on the back of the Seagull King, gazing out at the distant sea.

"You’re really going overboard, Uta..."

Orin naturally knew that what would soon sweep across half the world—the "Infinite Tsukuyomi"—came from Uta’s hatred of pirates and her wish to create an ideal world through the power of her Sing-Sing Fruit.

However, unlike Obito who wanted to create "a world with Rin," Uta’s dream, in some ways, was quite similar to Captain Roger and Luffy’s. It was also about making the world a better place.

But the latter wanted to achieve liberation through their fists.

While the former wanted to take a shortcut—using the "Infinite Tsukuyomi" so everyone could have food, warm clothing, and live carefree lives.

Orin didn’t particularly object to such an approach. After all, a spiritual victory was still a victory. Dreams might be illusory, but at least they were gentle.

However, he didn’t like others making decisions for him, nor did he want to become one of the participants in the "Infinite Tsukuyomi."

...

"Uta!!!"

"Uta!!!"

As Uta’s concert began, the entire world erupted with excitement.

Brilliant and colorful lighting effects, an enormous light screen, worldwide broadcasts...

Not only in the New World, but also in Paradise and the Four Seas, countless people were watching the Den Den Mushi broadcast. They gathered in front of screens, watching the captivating dance on display and listening to the passionate, energetic music.

Everyone was happy and excited.

Except for an old man on a small island in the New World who couldn’t join the fun. At this moment, he was sulking, glaring angrily at the bodyguards in front of him who had rebelled.

Vergo and the others were helpless, but they could only stop him.

"Sorry, Your Majesty. This is Orin-sama’s order."

"Even if it’s Orin—"

Old Keek was about to say something when someone suddenly rushed in from outside, looking extremely panicked.

"This is bad, Your Majesty!!!"

"For some reason, more than half of the citizens suddenly fainted!!!"

"What?!!!"

Seeing this, Vergo made a decisive move and took out specially-made earplugs, stuffing them into Old Keek’s ears.

When they went outside to check, they saw that every person who had been watching Uta’s broadcast had already fallen unconscious. No matter how loudly they were called, they couldn’t be awakened.

"How could this..."

Across the entire world, many civilians had fainted simultaneously. The common factor was that they had watched Uta’s live broadcast performance.

Even in the Underworld, which Orin had repeatedly warned not to watch, quite a few people who took the risk had now collapsed unconscious.

"What kind of mechanism is this..."

Even Orin himself found it exaggerated.

At least mechanisms like space and time could barely be understood—they weren’t particularly abstract.

For example, space was the place where things existed, and time referred to the past and future.

But the [Sing-Sing Fruit]?

It ignored distance and time. As long as one heard the song, their consciousness would automatically enter another space.

Moreover, compared to the Mirror World, the Sing-Sing World was an even higher-level existence.

It could be said to be a true world.

This could be seen from the fact that even though Brûlée held a mirror, she couldn’t return from the Mirror World back to reality. This was a power that truly involved the rules of existence.

Even Orin couldn’t physically cross through it. He could only rely on his space power pushed to the extreme to strike and affect the other world.

In other words, Orin couldn’t freely travel between reality and the Sing-Sing World the way he could tear open the Mirror World.

But if spatial power was used to its absolute limit, it could still affect the other world. That was why earlier he had been able to single-handedly kill the Tot Musica summoned by the young Uta.

In other words...

If he entered the Sing-Sing World, even someone like Orin might accidentally overturn the situation and end up trapped there forever.

"So... should I go in? The risk is quite big~ Seagull King~"

Orin rubbed his chin thoughtfully. A crimson light burst from his eyes as he smiled and asked his pet.

"Gaa—!!!"

"Yeah. That’s what makes it interesting, isn’t it?"
