Chapter 2 The kind-hearted fruit owner

"Huh huh huh~"

I can’t remember the rest of the lyrics clearly. The messy tunes and lyrics kept flooding in my memory, and Link hummed one line to another indiscriminately.

With familiar cries and curses, Link jumped towards the center of the city.

A voice kept ringing in his ears, calling for him to come over.

There was some urgency, but Link seemed not to hear it and ignored it.

Keep walking and then be targeted by the instrument monster in the air for attack.

Then, time turns back.

Continue repeating the cycle.

Ten times...a hundred times...

The voice kept echoing in his ears, and it seemed to be ringing directly in Link's mind, even if he didn't want to hear it.

"It's so noisy, don't bother me here, get out of here!"

Link, who was a little irritated by the noise, let out a strange scream. The sound did not stop, as if receiving a response, the sound became more enthusiastic.

Tsk…

Looking around, everyone around me was running away, and I didn't know who was calling that annoying sound.

Annoyed, Link stopped humming and began to use his obscure brain to think.

‘By the way, who is this annoying voice? When did you start calling? ’

Last time?

Same as last time?

Turn around and walk towards the direction of the sound.

As if the other party had seen it, his voice became more enthusiastic, revealing joy, and his tone became louder and louder.

But before Link could find the owner of the voice, he was discovered by the musical instrument monster.

Then, we returned to the shore again.

The call sounded again.

The joy just now was gone, and instead he started to become a little impatient.

After patting the dust off his body, Link continued walking in the direction of the sound.

Hey hey hey...

A joke suddenly came to mind.

Link suddenly laughed, and then his laughter became louder and louder.

Laughing, he returned to the shore again.

hey-hey……

Humming a disjointed song, Link continued walking in the direction of the sound.

This time, it went smoothly.

Link found a fruit.

Very strange.

The sound seemed to come from the fruit.

There was no movement in that voice, as if it had never been there before.

Link didn't hesitate, picked up the fruit and took a bite.

How long ago was the last time you ate?

Before Link could even think about it, the taste of the fruit exploded in his taste buds.

After thinking about it, I took another bite.

Well, it's really weird, hehe...

I finished the weird fruit in my hands in two or two mouthfuls, and nothing happened, but the good thing was that the annoying sound disappeared.

Oh I got it.

Link had an instant epiphany.

It turned out that the owner of the fruit was afraid that no one would eat the fruit after his death, so he called him over. After he finished eating, the sound disappeared, and the owner of the fruit could die with peace of mind.

So that’s it, he’s a good person.

Think about it, stop thinking about it, continue humming the song, and start wandering around the city.

On the other side, central castle, top floor.

Gordon collapsed and fell to his knees.

The roof of the castle disappeared and the walls were tattered. Following his direction, he could just see the Demon King of Song wreaking havoc in the city. He couldn't understand why the legendary monster suddenly appeared and started killing people in his country.

"Bulu Bulu..."

Gordon, who was lost in thought, was awakened by the sudden sound of a phone bug. He touched his body feebly, took out the phone bug that was still calling, and then connected it.

"..."

"Haha, Gordon, how are you? The concert is almost over, and Uta, she must be very happy now, hahaha."

On the Redforth, Shanks laughed and said to the phone bug.

They were pirates and it was not appropriate to appear at the concert, so they left Uta early and after estimating the time, it felt like it was almost over, and the red-haired pirates came back.

But all he received in response was silence, and faintly audible cries.

He felt bad at that moment, put away his smile, and said in a deep voice: "Gordon, what happened?"

"I don't know...I don't know...I don't understand why this is happening..."

As if he had found an outlet, Gordon immediately said a lot of words, none of which Shanks wanted to hear.

He had no choice but to say something to calm Gordon down.

Shanks' voice worked.

Gordon took a deep breath and continued: "The Demon King of Song, the legendary Demon King of Song has appeared and is killing people in the city. My power cannot stop it."

Gordon was first a king, then a musician, but not a warrior.

As soon as the Demon King of Song appeared, Gordon asked his soldiers to try to suppress it.

However, the disparity in strength between the two parties was too great and could not be compensated by their numbers. They were defeated almost instantly.

After that, there is no after.

"I understand. If you persist, we will arrive within half an hour. Please help me find Uta, protect her and wait for me."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Looking at his friends who had gathered around him, he said in a deep voice: "Guys, something happened."

With just one look, the people around him understood what Shanks meant. Without any unnecessary nonsense, they silently performed their respective tasks and allowed the Redfors to move forward at full speed.

Beckman took a deep look at Shanks and said nothing. He just took a deep breath from the cigarette in his hand before leaving.

The Demon King of Song was the first time Shanks heard this word.

I felt a little uneasy in my heart.

It's not that he's afraid of the opponent's strength, but that he's afraid of getting involved with Uta.

Uta's Devil Fruit, he found it.

The Song Fruit, the Demon King of Song, only hopes that this is just a coincidence.

Redfors, target Iregia, advancing.

Gordon hung up the phone bug and braced himself.

Shanks and the others will be here in half an hour.

Thinking of Shanks's bounty of more than one billion, Gordon felt a lot more relieved.

So, first find Uta, and then arrange for Uta to attract the attention of the Demon King of Song until Shanks and the others arrive.

The plan was figured out in an instant.

The unskilled Kanwense Haki unfolded and began to search for Uta's aura.

Then, his eyes widened.

"..."

…

"Are you surprised?"

Link passed by a mirror and was once again drawn to his attention. He started rock-paper-scissors with Link in the mirror, using the same gesture every time.

"Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

"I predicted the method, and it will definitely be exactly the same as yours!"

"Did you predict my prediction?"

"No no no."

"I predicted your prediction."

"Did you predict what I predicted about you?"

"not me……"

Link pointed at Link in the mirror and kept talking.

Link in the mirror also pointed at Link outside the mirror, opening and closing his mouth, arguing with Link outside the mirror.

This never-ending argument did not last long and was quickly stopped.

There were almost no people left in the city, and Link, who was making a lot of noise, naturally came into the sight of the Demon King of Song.

Time went back again, and Link returned to the shore.
