Starting as a Roger Pirates Apprentice

Chapter 593: Chapter 593 Pirate King: Red-Haired Songstress (6)

"Is it actually a mechanism?"

"This really makes things troublesome~"

Within the Song-Song World, Orin crossed his arms and sighed when he heard this, especially since it was this kind of abstract mechanism.

At this moment, Uta had a faint smile on her face,

"That’s right!!!"

"So whether it’s Orin-san or Luffy, all of you should just stay in this world forever and stop being pirates!!!"

Though she didn’t want to admit it, even within the Song-Song World she couldn’t do anything to the powerful Orin, so the only option was to wait for her real self to die, and then keep Orin-san here forever.

However, something felt a bit strange.

Even though he clearly understood the current situation, there wasn’t much anxiety or worry on Orin’s face. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from where he stood.

Not just him—Luffy also suddenly vanished, leaving only a stone behind.

Uta looked around, confirming they were indeed gone, but she wasn’t flustered at all.

"It’s useless. You can’t leave the Song-Song World."

...

On the other side,

Law used his ability to transfer Luffy outside the concert, while Orin had already disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, Orin was seated at the highest point of Elegia, pushing his Observation Haki to the limit, watching the scene in the real world.

Even Usopp and Yasopp could use Observation Haki to sense across space—Orin naturally could do even more, even clearly seeing the surroundings of his body in the real world.

Just as expected, his body had indeed been controlled.

But...

Was it actually fighting the Marines?

...

Real World.

Elegia.

Although the Orin being controlled by Uta wasn’t as smooth and fluid as when he acted himself, his Observation Haki had already become second nature. When attacked, his body had long formed memory-based responses.

When Observation Haki is developed to its extreme, it becomes like this. It’s impossible to actively maintain it at all times—human reaction has its limits.

Orin’s Observation Haki had already become instinct, and it worked in tandem with his abilities and Haki.

For example, when Orin was asleep, he wouldn’t actively use Observation Haki. But if someone tried to ambush him, the passive warning of Observation Haki combined with his abilities would allow him to achieve a 24/7 passive state of [Intangibility].

Over time, this formed...

[Intuition Auto-Combat]

On top of that, since Uta had been controlling Orin’s body to attack the Marines, this battle instinct naturally targeted them.

"Hey, hey, hey!!!"

"Is this for real..."

"Zzzzzz—!!!!"

Standing at the front, the tall Kizaru clasped his hands together as yellow light gathered into a sword.

He suddenly slashed, clashing directly with the black blade in Orin’s hand.

Terrifying shockwaves scattered in all directions, sending countless Marine soldiers flying.

"How scary~"

"To reach this level purely through battle instinct~"

Even facing a half-automatic Orin, Borsalino felt immense pressure.

"Although having two Admirals gang up on an unconscious man would harm our reputation, if it’s the user of the Black Gun, then it’s still justifiable..."

Fujitora muttered to himself, then drew his blade, slicing through the air with a cold edge as he attacked Orin.

The slash was wrapped in a force field—his gravity blade came crashing down with overwhelming force.

Sensing danger from the other side, Orin—who was clashing swords with Kizaru—instinctively raised his other arm.

"Clang—!!!"

Thick Armament Haki wrapped around his arm, directly blocking the Admiral’s attack.

With monstrous strength, he clashed against the Admiral’s gravity field without falling behind in the slightest.

The Marine officers watching nearby had their eyes trembling.

"Even in that state, he’s fighting two Admirals at once... how are we supposed to kill a monster like this?!"

Thinking back to the World Government’s order to locate Orin’s unconscious body, it all felt surreal.

Even if they found him, what would it matter?

Who could possibly kill him?!

Facing the joint assault of two Admirals, Orin’s body even grew stronger under pressure. The power of Conqueror’s Haki began gathering in his hand.

The charged slash erupted from the black blade—

A silent Divine Departure was unleashed in an instant!!!

"What?!"

"You’ve got to be kidding me!!!"

Borsalino and Issho’s expressions changed drastically as both unleashed their full power at once.

...

Song-Song World.

"Honestly... I already said I can’t be killed~"

"Unless Imu arrives, anyone else would only make my body’s battle instinct grow stronger, right?"

This semi-automatic, semi-passive fighting style was naturally inferior to Orin controlling his body directly, but the problem was that Orin’s strength had already reached an incomprehensible level. Even ordinary top-tier fighters couldn’t gain any advantage against him.

If someone truly wanted to kill him, perhaps only Imu could do it.

Shifting his perspective from the real world, Orin sat atop the mountain and looked down at the people struggling within the Song-Song World.

This included Luffy, Law, and others, as well as the Big Mom Pirates and the Marines...

At this moment, the civilians also seemed to notice something was wrong.

"Uta, it’s about time we leave~"

"Yeah, entertainment is great, but it can’t go on forever, right?"

"Yeah, I want to go home."

Uta looked at the civilians who had just been on her side but were now in disarray. Her expression began to waver.

"Why? Wouldn’t it be better if we just lived happily here forever?"

"You all hate the real world anyway..."

"I get it!!! You think it’s not enough, right?"

"Don’t worry, there won’t be any sadness or war here!!!"

With a wave of her hand, Uta turned everyone into toys, unleashing the power of the [Song-Song Fruit].

Watching this, Orin’s gaze remained calm.

"This is exactly why, even with absolute power, I don’t want to become a savior..."

"Even in the Song-Song World, where one is almost like a god, it’s still impossible to satisfy everyone’s desires."

This touched upon the relative transformation between the World Government and the Revolutionary Army.

Even if Uta tried to create a utopian paradise like an "Infinite Tsukuyomi," she still couldn’t fill the void within people’s hearts.

At the same time, more and more people were arriving at Elegia for various reasons.

Pirate ships with red dragon figureheads, pirate ships with a red-nosed clown as their prow...
