Chapter 470 Shanks' Decision
Chapter 470 Shanks' Decision
With Totumjika's death, the biggest crisis was resolved, but new problems followed.
Although under the control of the crowd, Totemjika's destruction was limited to the venue and did not spread to the entire town like in the original timeline.
However, there were too many people in the venue. Even with the help of Weiya and a large number of navy troops, nearly 10,000 civilians still died at the hands of Totmjika.
This is already a good ending. After all, Totumjika's destructive power is comparable to Barrett's that of an entire island. However, it still cannot change the fact that this is a tragic ending.
Totumjika died, but Uta, who summoned Totumjika, survived.
People knew that Uta was also a victim of this incident, but there would definitely be people who would shift the blame to this half-grown child.
Even if others forgive her, the kind-hearted Uta will never forgive herself.
After figuring it all out, Shanks carried the unconscious Uta to Tesoro.
"Tezoro, can I ask you for a favor?"
Tezulo glanced at the Uta in Shanks's hand and roughly knew what Shanks was planning to do.
"My daughter has a voice that can bring happiness to others. She will surely become a world-famous singer in the future. I want to hand her over to you."
Tezulo frowned. Although he guessed what Shanks was planning, he was still confused.
"I believe she can do this, but what are you going to do? What about Elegia's accident?"
Hearing this, Shanks gave a nonchalant smile.
"The Red Hair Pirates attempted to kidnap the War Diva and threaten the Kingdom of Adrien, summoning the Demon King of Song and killing tens of thousands of civilians."
Shanks said it casually, and Tezulo knew that he intended to take all the blame on himself.
The other crew members of the Red Hair Pirates came over and smiled when they heard their captain's words.
Uta is not only the daughter of Shanks, but also the daughter of all the crew members of the Red Hair Pirates.
Just then, Nako came over with everyone from the Kingdom of Adrian.
"Although I admire your decision, have you ever thought about what Uta will think?" Nako said coldly.
"What do you think? We are pirates. Isn't it normal to kidnap the most famous singer and exchange her for money from the richest country?" Shanks said with a smile, as if he was joking.
After hearing Shanks' answer, Nako only said two words.
"idiot!"
Shanks was stunned, and so were the people in the Red Hair Pirates and even the Adrien Kingdom.
In their impression, Nako has always been gentle, kind, cheerful and approachable, and they have never heard her scold anyone.
"Do you think you can just take all the responsibility on yourself? Do you think you can hide it from Wuta forever? One day Wuta will know the truth. What do you want her to think then?"
Nako asked a series of questions, causing the smile on Shanks' face to disappear. She said in a low voice, "I know this can't be kept secret forever, but at least, at least she shouldn't bear such a responsibility now.
She's still a child, a kind-hearted child. If she knew that she was the one who released the Demon King of Song, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life!"
"Idiot!" Nako cursed again.
Shanks was also annoyed. Although he had a good temper, he was not in a good mood at all. He couldn't help but get angry after being scolded twice by Nako.
"Do you know how much this kid cares about you?"
Shanks's anger was suppressed again, and he said calmly: "I know, that's why I don't want her to know the truth. After this is over, it doesn't matter even if she hates me for the rest of her life."
"That's why I called you an idiot. Do you think she'll be happy like that? You're not even fit to be a father!"
Shanks clenched his fists, his expression very grim.
"If you just leave like this, what will this child think? Rather than thinking that her fathers are evil villains, the first thing she will think of is that she has been abandoned, abandoned by her beloved father and her favorite pirate group!"
Nako also became angry, and her voice became aggressive, which was totally inconsistent with her personality.
In her opinion, Uta is very similar to her, both girls who grew up under the protection of their father and love music.
Zell respected her dream and provided a lot of help for her to become the world's number one singer, so she loved her father very much.
Although she had not spent much time with Uta, she knew that Uta definitely liked Shanks very much.
If she and Shanks were to be separated, it might be more painful than knowing that she had released the Demon King of Song.
"so what should I do?"
Shanks was overwhelmed by Nako's aura, leaving everyone in the Red Hair Pirates stunned.
But thinking of Uta's feelings, they tacitly kept silent.
After all, they are just like Shanks, rough guys who don't understand girls.
“We will help you take care of Uta, and I will tell her the truth after some time. The culprit behind all this is Totemjika, and she is also one of the victims.
As for how to guide her, leave it to me. All you have to do is keep in touch with her."
As she spoke, Nako threw a communication device at Shanks.
"As for the report, it's better to follow your ideas. After all, you are pirates and don't care about your reputation in the outside world."
Shanks took the communication device and nodded. This was indeed the best solution.
Nako looked towards Gordon and said, "King Gordon, you are the only one who knows that the Demon King of Song was released by Uta, right?"
"Yes."
"That's fine. I'll leave the reporting to you then."
Gordon nodded.
Just when everything was settled, a hearty voice was heard.
"Shanks, it's time to hand over the murderer who tried to destroy Elegia!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a burly naval veteran falling from the sky.
It was Karp who came late!
Everyone in both the Red Hair Pirates and the Adrien Kingdom became serious and looked at Garp warily.
"Excuse me, Miss Nako."
Shanks handed Uta to Nako and walked towards Garp.
"Garp, the matter has been resolved. What else do you plan to do?" Shanks asked in a serious tone.
"Of course, we have to arrest Uta, the user of the Song-Song Fruit. Her devil fruit ability is too dangerous. For the safety of the world, we have no choice but to send her to Impel Down." Garp said, not caring about Shanks' increasingly serious expression.
Upon hearing this, all the members of the Red Hair Pirates walked to the opposite side of Garp, ready to fight at any time.
But Cap was not alone, as Borsalino led a large number of navy to follow behind him.
On the sea behind him, twenty warships ready to go pointed their guns at the Red Hair Pirates.
