42: Chapter 42 The End of Vander DeckenWang Luffy was put into a deluxe room, while Shirahoshi and Otohime only sat there for a while before returning to their own rooms.
Wang Lufei sat on the edge of the bed, surveying the enormous room, and muttered to himself, "No wonder they're royalty.Any place associated with the royal family is incredibly extravagant."
"Born in hardship, die in comfort; such decadence is not good."
After Wang Lufei finished speaking, he glanced at the decorations again and noticed that there was a music player and colorful disco balls.So he said, "Hmm.but after fighting for half your life, can't you enjoy yourself a little?Keep playing the music and keep dancing."
After saying that, Wang Luffy walked to the music player and pressed the button.Electronic music started playing, and the light bulb on top began to flash.
Wang Lufei began his self-entertaining disco time to the music.
While dancing at the club, Wang Lufei felt that the song sounded more and more familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.
Suddenly the door opened, and Shirahoshi walked in, saying shyly, "Um, Luffy-sama, do you like this song too?I also love Uta's singing voice.I always feel that her voice has magic; it makes you feel relaxed after listening to it."
After racking his brains, Luffy suddenly had a flash of inspiration: Uta, Shanks' adopted daughter, a world-class singer.
No wonder it sounds so familiar yet I couldn't recognize it.When I watched the movie in my past life, Uta's voice was that of an adult.Now, she's probably about my age, so it's already pretty good that I can recognize her voice.
However, in the story, Uta seems to have only become famous a few years later through her video phone mushi (insect), so how come Fishman Island already has her songs?Could there be some special circumstances involved?
After a moment of stunned silence, Wang Lufei realized that Bai Xing was still beside him and said, "Oh, it's Bai Xing.Sorry for disturbing you with the music.I'll turn it off right away."
Shirahoshi quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no.Lord Luffy didn't disturb me.I just heard this familiar singing voice in my room and wanted to chat with Lord Luffy.I really like listening to her songs."
After hearing what Shirahoshi said, Wang Luffy became interested and said, "Uta, I do know some of the secrets about her.She is the daughter of the great pirate Shanks, but Shanks left her when she was very young."
Legend has it that Shanks went mad and destroyed the music capital after traveling with her, then abandoned Uta and left with his crew.
But the truth is that Uta accidentally touched the Divine Melody, unexpectedly awakening the Song-Song Fruit, releasing the Song Demon, and destroying the Music Capital.Shanks didn't want Uta to bear this burden, so he took the blame and distanced himself from her with the crew.
Before Wang Lufei could finish speaking, Bai Xing burst into tears, wiping away her tears as she said, "It's so heartbreaking.No one in this matter is at fault.The residents of the Music Capital were completely innocent, yet they were killed by demons."
Uta knew nothing, yet she unleashed the demon, destroying her beloved music capital and losing her father in the process.
That pirate Shanks too, after taking the blame for his daughter, he could never see her again.How could such a heartbreaking thing happen?Waaaaaah!
Wang Lufei looked at the crying "little" girl in front of him, quickly grew bigger, hugged her, pulled her into his arms, and stroked her head to comfort her:
"Don't cry, Little White Star.Uta's story is a tragedy, but it's not irreversible.There are Time-Time Fruits in this world, those abilities allow you to travel to the future."
If it can be developed to the point of awakening, it might be possible to reverse the past.If given the chance, I will find this fruit and save you from these tragedies.
Bai Xing lifted her head from Wang Lufei's arms, looked at him with her adorable big eyes, and said, "Really?"
Wang Lufei looked down at her and said, "It's more real than pearls, I promise you."
Shirahoshi blushed when she met Luffy's gaze.She squirmed a few times in his arms but couldn't break free, so she turned her head to the side and whispered, "I-I understand.Thank you, Luffy-sama."
After saying that, he felt a little embarrassed to continue, and waited a long time before speaking, whispering, "Can, can you let me go?I'm so shy being hugged, Luffy-sama."
As Bai Xing spoke, she wiggled a few times.Wang Lufei, sensing the little mermaid's unusual behavior, quickly let go and changed the subject, saying, "I forgot in my haste, sorry.As compensation, I'll take you to play in the forest behind tomorrow."
I see a longing in your eyes for the outside world, but because of Vanderdeken's harassment, you can't go.Come with me tomorrow; I'll guarantee your safety, and no one will bother you.
Shirahoshi was no longer shy, and happily said, "Really?Luffy-sama, thank you so much.I haven't been to that forest in so long."
Before, my mother would only take me out once a year when she wasn't busy.Now, she seems extremely busy, and I haven't left the house in a long time.
Then the two agreed to go to the forest for a trip the next day, and Shirahoshi happily returned to her room to prepare for sleep.
But after Shirahoshi left, Luffy didn't continue having fun.Instead, he changed his size and appearance and used his Observation Haki to teleport to Fishman Town.
That's right, Wang Luffy is going to take down Vander Decken tonight, not just on a whim, but also to keep his promise and avoid seeing him again tomorrow during the outing, which would spoil Shirahoshi's good mood.
Wang Luffy sped to the spot where the Vander Decken Flying Pirates' ship was docked.Looking at the antique-looking old ship brazenly moored beside Fishman Town Square, Wang Luffy muttered to himself:
"That Vander Decken is really arrogant, flying a pirate flag and parking his ship in such a public place, he can't wait for everyone to know he's a pirate.Simply."That's courting death.
As Wang Luffy spoke, he walked directly into the cabin and used his Observation Haki to find Vander Decken, who was sleeping.
Seeing that there were no guards in the cabins and rooms, Wang Lufei entered Vander Decken's room without any trouble.
However, as soon as Wang Lufei entered, he smelled a strange odor.Covering his nose, he looked at the source of the stench—the lewd tiger shark man Vander Decken—and said:
"Not only are you disgusting, but you also have a foul odor.I really don't know how your crew put up with you.You should thank your ancestors properly when you get to hell.You couldn't have lived this long without your ancestors' inheritance."
After Wang Lufei finished speaking, he endured the stench and stretched out his left hand, which grew larger to cover the man's mouth and nose.Then, his right hand transformed into a lightning particle blade, and he severed the man's head just as he had done to Arlong before.
Just as he promised Bai Xing, he felt no pain whatsoever, and he would never bother her again.As for repentance, he could go to hell and repent to his ancestors.
After severing his head, Wang Luffy put it in a cloth bag and wrote next to his body, "Captain of the Flying Pirates, Vander Decken IX, guilty of heinous crimes, sentenced to death.— Navy Inspection Team"
After doing all that, Wang Lufei took the bag and went outside.Once outside, he used lightning to give himself a full-body high-temperature disinfection.
Then Wang Lufei randomly found an open space, used lightning to turn the head and the bag together into ashes, and then threw them directly into the sea, giving the small fish an extra meal.
After doing all this, Wang Lufei quietly returned to his room and fell asleep peacefully.
