Ghost Shark, but in the world of One Piece

Page 85

I don't know Shanks either. That bastard who destroyed Greysia only tricked me into joining the ship. I've never seen such a despicable bastard.

Whoosh! The flames that had set the night sky ablaze reappeared in the corner of my memory.

Gordon's pathetic expression at losing everything, the thick smell of blood that even a strong wind couldn't blow away, the kingdom of tens of thousands of people had lost all sound, with only the deafening roar of the collapsing roof beams.

The cheers around me seemed to have subsided a bit?

The next second, Ms. World suddenly opened her eyes, her face covered in sweat.

The ability activated without anyone noticing!

The song of the new era was almost distorted. She took a deep breath, canceled her ability, adjusted her singing, and sweat streamed down her face.

I can't give up! Gordon is still watching me, and Shanks is probably laughing at himself somewhere!

We absolutely cannot lose!!!

"Let's enter the dream together, let's enter the dream together?"

"Entering a new era?~"

The final melody, which had been guiding the way, suddenly rose in pitch. This farewell melody was like a girl running on the sea, facing the rising sun, with the catchy tune of the stern parting the waves, slowly unfolding a new era.

"Entering a new era?~"

The woman with the right mind closed her eyes, pointed one finger to the sky, and the light screen behind her switched to a background of blue sea and sky.

The opening song, a powerful and captivating melody, drew to a close amidst this enchanting and beautiful atmosphere.

The song ended.

Sweat beaded on her forehead as the World Lady slowly stepped forward and bowed to the audience.

If you mess things up, what's the point of talking about dreams? Her expression was somewhat bitter, but then she let out a long sigh.

Shanks, I will not admit defeat.

Even if she is treated like a fool, scorned, ignored, and made a laughing stock, she will never give up on her dream. That is proof that she has put her vision into action and persevered to the end.

No one will likely support her. Ms. World lowered her head, preparing to walk backstage.

However, the next moment, the audience erupted in applause.

"Sparashi! Is this a song created by the world?" Lark's eyes lit up, and the headphones around his neck bounced up and down with his clapping. "It's great! I wish it was released as a single. I want to hear it again."

"That's really good, a wonderful child!"

A healthy smile bloomed beneath the peacock's veil. She reached out and touched the thin whip, then squeezed her thighs together. "You sing so well, and your face under the mask must be adorable too, right?"

The crane sitting next to her had its index finger pressed against its forehead, looking deep in thought. She had just sensed that a few people had almost fainted.

Is he someone who can cheat?

Why do I have this strange feeling when I listen to her sing? It's like I'm naturally drawn to her.

The atmosphere at the Lone Star Dome was electric, with discussions rising and falling.

"This is amazing! This singing voice is legendary! It's definitely the best of the best!"

"Waaaaah, it feels like my ears are being washed by a spring, I feel like they're going to get pregnant."

"World! World!"

The world stood on the stage, momentarily stunned. Colorful fireworks swirled and fell on her head, while a dazzling spotlight shone down, illuminating the world's slender waist.

Tears fell, pattering onto the ground.

The world covered its face with its hands, bowing frantically in gratitude, its voice choked with emotion, "Thank you, thank you so much..."

Her personal perseverance is merely the foundation of her dream world; the enthusiastic support of the audience is the bricks that are constantly being built.

Through these fervent fans, the world saw Gordon's face, dressed in a simple coat, reflecting a smile of satisfaction, a pure smile of seeing a child achieve his dream.

After so many years of raising children, the past disagreements have long been forgotten.

The world loves to sing.

I love it so much!

She wiped away her tears and stared straight at the entrance to the giant egg, as if she could traverse space and heaven and earth to see the frozen smiles on the faces of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Pirates are truly filthy things.

Shanks, I will use my song to create a brand new era, a dream era without pirates, without hunger, and without war.

The dream is getting closer and closer; the world reaches out and grasps at the light.

The music in the One Piece world isn't particularly outstanding, but this song, "New Era," is above average. However, Uta hasn't reached the level of what it's seven years later, not to mention the ending rhythm is a bit off.

Ghost Shark, who was preparing backstage, shook his head. Even if she had eaten the Song-Song Fruit, he was confident he could defeat her.

After the song ended, the singer who competed against the world, "Chariot," took the stage next and sang "Binks' Wine."

Her song selection was quite good; after an uplifting song, she performed the famous banquet song, which didn't leave the listener feeling tired.

I didn't make any major mistakes along the way, but there weren't any particularly outstanding moments either.

Despite being a wildly popular song, her unique rendition of it seemed to have lost its vibrancy, making her sound like a solitary poet, leaving listeners uninterested.

Ghost Shark could clearly sense that the atmosphere suddenly turned cold after she spoke, and in the end, as she expected, she lost to Uta in the voting.

Group A members were paired up, and then Uta went on stage to sing "Tot Musica" and "Where the Wind Goes," both of which she wrote and composed herself. She easily defeated the other two members of Group A.

The final scores for Group A are as follows:

[World] 3-0

[The Magician] 2-1

[Chariot] 1-2

[Priestess] 0-3

Finally, amidst the tense silence of the entire audience, Haiya announced the final results.

"Therefore, I hereby announce that the two contestants who have advanced to the quarterfinals from Group A are Ms. [World] and Ms. [Magician]!"

To Haiya's left, dazzling lights shone on the heads of the World and the Magician, while the two who failed to advance were on her right, both looking somewhat hunched over.

Even the act of applauding the winner will draw strange looks from the loser.

Those pitying and regretful glances were like sharp blades, piercing my face and gouging out my heart.

According to the rules, contestants who lose must remove their masks on the spot and reveal their identities to the audience.

But being eliminated in the first round... the production team doesn't have the pressure of ratings, and they're not that cruel.

"It is also regrettable to announce that contestants [Chariot] and [Priestess] will be leaving our stage. Thank you for your singing, please give them a round of applause."

Clap clap clap! Amidst thunderous applause, the two forced smiles as they thanked the audience before disappearing into the shadows of a deserted, dark alleyway.

"It's a pity that the chariot didn't perform well in the second round, otherwise it could have advanced."

"Well, all I can say is that Magic Johnson has been in good form for the past two games. If he continues like this, he's very likely to make it to the quarterfinals."

"Young man, don't speak too confidently, or you'll make a mistake. Question before you believe."

"Huh? Don't you have a heart? He's only seventeen and he's already on the world stage."

"What about you?"

The fanatical fan instantly became dissatisfied and gave the middle-aged man next to him a death stare.

"Alright, Group A's matches are now over. Congratulations again to [The World] and [The Magician] for advancing together." Muse glanced at her script and asked, "What are your expectations for the quarterfinals?"

She smiled at the two contestants, handed the microphone to the world, and her profile was incredibly cute.

"Me?" World Voice was incredibly excited. Holding the microphone, she looked at the audience and blurted out, "Next, I will prove to everyone who is the world's number one diva!"

The static echoed in the gymnasium, where you could hear a pin drop.

The next moment, the roar of the audience almost blew the roof off the stadium.

That's so arrogant!!!

Is this the arrogance of the Group A winner? I love it!

Immediately afterwards, the microphone was handed to the magician, and the pressure of everyone's eager anticipation shifted to him.

The magician adjusted the glasses on his mask, showing no sign of backing down, his confrontational stance at its peak.

"I will go undefeated and win the championship!"

The audience was stunned for a second, and the girl's voice was immediately swallowed up by the roar of the waves.

The World's Number One Singer Selection Contest generated a huge amount of buzz on its very first day.

People talked enthusiastically about the new songs on the show, from the four seas and the amusement park to the new world. The bold statements of the contestants who advanced were also widely discussed.

Viewers, still wanting more, bombarded the production team with calls, asking when the singles from the competition would be released.

Since many of these fans were influential figures, and some were even naval colleagues, the program's director, Ai Yin, couldn't afford to be negligent.

They had to patiently explain that it was still the competition period and they were busy with work. They said that after the competition, Deep Sea Records on Round Moon Island would immediately stock the products and make them available to everyone without any limit.

Upon receiving the feedback, the two contestants who advanced from Group A signed a cooperation agreement and spent two days recording a single. Subsequently, Ai Yin urged Yinbei Printing Factory to speed up the printing and expand its production capacity in order to meet market demand.

Didn't you see? Pirated copies of the Sound Bey records are already out there! These low-quality Sound Bey records, made from footage of live Den Den Mushi broadcasts, are being sold for 5000 Bells each!!!

Deep Sea Records, whose profits were taken by pirates, was so distressed that they could barely eat.

And so, in the bloody tug-of-war between Deepsea Records and the pirates, it was 8 p.m. on the second day.

"Hello everyone, welcome back to the World's Number One Singer Selection Contest. I'm your host, Haiya."

It was still Haiya's charming voice that made people swoon. Just as Muse was about to introduce herself, Haiya interrupted her.

"She is the deputy host's muse."

Haiya pointed at the stunned little cutie, her eyebrows curving into a smile, making Muse grit her teeth in exasperation. (Finger + smiley face.JPG).

After a few jokes, the atmosphere at the competition venue instantly became lively. By the end of the day, both the audience at the venue and those watching on screen had grown to love the two guys immensely.

Today's lineup consists of members from Group B: [Empress], [Lover], [Power], and [Hermit].

Specter sat in the backstage spectator seats, enjoying the performances of the four contestants one by one.

The first contestant, "Queen," stunned the audience from the moment she opened her mouth. If the Magician's performance yesterday was stable, then her singing had already reached the heavens, like a glass of fine wine that had been aged for many years. Once the cork was removed, the rich aroma filled the nostrils.

She sang very steadily. The song was a traditional Wano Country enka called "Evening Breeze," with a melodious and varied tune, like the thoughts of a young girl under a cherry blossom tree, both captivating and melancholic. A gentle evening breeze blows, and the colorful thoughts and the falling cherry blossoms in the courtyard drift away.

When the song ended, the cheers that followed were almost as loud as those from the "world".

What's even more surprising is the second contestant, "Lover." Putting aside her music, her voluptuous figure alone is enough to spark endless imagination.

Her black robe was wide and loose, but it couldn't hide the woman's proud breasts; on the contrary, they were stretched taut by them.

She swayed as she walked towards the center of the stage, her high breasts like ripe red apples bending the branches.

As the spotlight fell, an air of nobility emanated from them.

[Lover] She gracefully tilted her head back, her body curves perfectly outlined. She was like a black swan with her head held high, her long hair coiled in a cloak, or like a python poised to strike.

Behind the mask, her gaze was icy, and she began to sing.

Even unnecessary actions like greetings have been omitted.

Is she another arrogant woman?

The audience whispered among themselves, a great sense of curiosity rising within them. Why were all the women there so cool and aloof?

My longing for you resounds loudly in my heart, generating boundless power.

Accompanying the rousing accompaniment was the powerful and furious lashing of "Lover." Some listeners, immersed in the world of enka, were suddenly jolted awake; the music felt like walking on clouds high in the sky, followed by a leap of faith!

Ghost Shark's attention was instantly drawn to the song "Hope" by Namie Amuro, the most classic opening theme of the One Piece anime.

Passion, camaraderie, and an unyielding spirit of adventure are powerfully infused into the audience's ears through the sublime music.

"As long as you're willing, this friendship will never change, no matter where you are."

"We are hope?~"

Oh, Shift!
