Elegia.
The world-renowned land of music, ho to countless top-tier musicians who gather to study and elevate the art of music, constantly pushing humanity's musical standards to new heights.
This country's status in the music world is like Ohara in the field of archaeology!
Every musician here has extraordinary talent, each with unique skills and breathtaking artistry. Their secret instrunts bring endless surprises!
It's no exaggeration to say that this island is a holy land in the eyes of musicians worldwide.
But such a peaceful country was suddenly wiped out.
This news shook the entire world, just like when Ohara was destroyed by the World Governnt.
Back then, the World Governnt at least gave a justification — that Ohara intended to revive ancient weapons to threaten the world, so people could sowhat accept it.
But Elegia was destroyed by a group of pirates.
Music lovers everywhere were outraged.
Elegia was even an allied country of the World Governnt, so many allied nations could not stand by.
The na of that already infamous pirate beca hated by the world once again.
"Shanks?"
Yamato flipped through the newspaper, blinking in confusion. "Is there so mistake? Shanks isn't the kind of person to do sothing like this."
"Could it be the World Governnt ssing around again?"
Law speculated, "Maybe they destroyed Elegia for so reason, then pinned it on the Red Hair Pirates?"
They all had contact with the Red Hair Pirates and didn't think that a straightforward man would do such a thing.
Ian couldn't help but smirk.
Good, Law, you've completely guessed the World Governnt's way of doing things.
"But, Elegia is just a country of music," Jack frowned, still quite confused, "Could they really be hiding a secret that even the World Governnt fears?"
Actually, there is one.
Tot Musica.
It sounds like a girl band, but it's actually related to music.
It's the score that seals the Demon King of Songs.
Though it's useless to ordinary people, only those with the Sing-Sing Fruit powers can activate it.
But this thing is truly terrifying.
The Demon King of Songs in the movie was finally defeated only with the combined strength of the Red Hair Pirates, the Straw Hat Pirates, and many allies.
It must be defeated in both the real world and the dream world, or it remains invincible.
In fact, Elegia was also destroyed by this creature.
Shanks was completely blad for it by his precious daughter.
But it doesn't matter—this is exactly the mont Ian was waiting for.
Although many plotlines in this world have already collapsed,
Ian still firmly believed that the Red Hair Pirates would bring Uta to Elegia.
After all, that girl still loves music, and the musical island Elegia remains the sacred place she dreams of.
As long as she goes to Elegia, the Demon King of Songs will still target her and deliver the score into her hands.
As long as she sang the musical score, everything would continue to unfold as if it were destined.
Now, the facts had proven Ian's reasoning to be absolutely correct.
He truly was the pirate detective.
"If it's not the World Governnt, then could it really be that Red-Haired guy?"
Law stroked his chin. "Or maybe it's so other person causing trouble?"
"But who would be bold enough for that?"
The problem was, the Red Hair Pirates were already very strong.
That Red-Haired guy's bounty had exceeded one billion.
Even looking at the whole world, only the four Pirate Emperors had higher bounties than him.
There weren't many people in this world who dared to offend him.
"Why not just go see for ourselves?"
Ian smiled.
"Huh?"
Law was stunned. "Ian, you an we're going to Elegia?"
Ian grinned, "I'm really curious too about what exactly happened on that island."
"Yay!"
Yamato was the first to cheer. "We get to go out and play again!"
Since the last ti they attended the auction and ca back, they had stayed on Hive Island for several months.
This lively girl had long since been unable to contain her restlessness.
"I want to go too!"
Hancock quickly spoke up.
She definitely didn't want to be left behind on this island again.
"Then it's ti for the long-awaited full assembly of the Golden Dragon!"
Ian laughed.
This ti, it should be dealing with the Red Hair Pirates.
There might be a bit of a small conflict.
Although Ian felt that with the current strength of the Red Hair Pirates, he alone would be enough.
But.
What about face? Face?
How could an Emperor fight alone?
Ian gathered most of his top officers.
Yamato, Hancock, Jack, Black Maria, Law, Drake, Enel, Sandersonia, Marigold, Viola, Solem, and Himir.
With this force, it was already enough to go to war with a certain Pirate Emperor.
The face was definitely fully maintained.
Even so, the defense force of Hive Island was still completely sufficient.
Tesoro was in charge of internal affairs, Jinbe and ten pirate captains who called him big brother served as the main force.
And Kuma, hidden in the shadows.
If soone really wanted to do sothing to this island, at least send a Navy Admiral with a large fleet.
Sanji and the others heard that the Golden Dragon was about to set sail again and noisily wanted to follow, but Ian refused them all.
Their main task now was to train well and beco stronger, not to rush out to stir up trouble.
So the Golden Dragon set sail once more.
Although having Kuma use his ability to directly send the ship forward could greatly shorten the voyage ti.
The problem was, the Golden Dragon was a bit too large, and Kuma's ability had limits; such a massive ship like a fortress on the sea, he couldn't just launch it too far.
So they had to sail honestly.
Fortunately, Elegia was an island located in the New World and wasn't really that far from Hive Island.
Although the tiline of the movie was sowhat confusing, it was still roughly inferred that the Straw Hats encountered Uta after leaving the Whole Cake Island and before reaching Wano Country.
Elegia lies between the territories of the Whole Cake Island Sea and Wano Country Sea.
It's about a three-week sailing distance from Hive Island.
Thanks to Kuma using his ability to shorten the journey, they arrived near the island in less than two weeks.
"What a ss this place is."
As the Golden Dragon approached the island, Black Maria looked through her binoculars at the scene and couldn't help but sigh.
Almost all the buildings on the island were destroyed. No matter which direction she looked, all she could see were shattered ruins and broken walls.
"What a pity,"
Black Maria put down the binoculars and said regretfully, "I used to say that if I ever had the chance, I wanted to co to Elegia's Concert Hall to listen to a concert."
Elegia was ho to the world's most spectacular concert hall, built on the bay along one side of the island.
They had grandly transford the entire bay into a music hall, with the surrounding cliffs turned into audience seating.
The stage was set up on the calm sea inside the bay, and above it stood huge crystal pillars that served both as a roof and lighting.
The entire music hall could only be described as breathtakingly beautiful.
Performing a concert there was the lifelong dream of almost every musician in the world.
And countless music lovers at sea dread of attending a concert there at least once.
As a part-ti geisha, Black Maria had so knowledge of music.
So naturally, she had so expectations for this place.
