Chapter 1136 - 670: Tot Musica!!

"Gah, zan, tak, gah, zan, tat, tat, brak...!!!"

The high-pitched and frenzied singing turned into musical notes, surging out alongside the dark air currents surrounding Uta, bursting into a massive shockwave, rippling outward from the center of the stage.

Even the air twisted at that moment, the fierce explosion of the wave blowing Sage and Kizaru’s hair and cloaks, the former with a slight smirk, while the latter exclaims in surprise:

"Oh~ such impact, how terrifying."

Despite his words, neither of their postures moved an inch.

Sage glanced at the sky, watching the Pirates being blown away by the impact, his arm becoming a blur in an instant, so fast it vanished.

Waves of Haki struck down the scattered pirates in the sky like blooming flowers, including subordinates sleeping on small islands around the stage, all hit by the Haki and fell onto the Death Star.

"Oh? Such exquisite Haki technique, though we’ll have to resort to clumsier methods."

Kizuru laughed as he waved his hand, and the warships behind reached the island, with Flying Squirrel leading the Navy, wearing headphones as they rushed towards the island, each sailor carrying three or four people, evacuating to the warships.

The World Government and Navy generally ignore Non-Adhering Countries, but that’s overall.

From a personal standpoint...

Most Navy members are still just.

The first thing Flying Squirrel saw after landing was Sage, but his eyes were quickly drawn to the dark air mass in the center of the stage.

"The legends are true!"

The intense unease brought by the dark air mass made sweat stream down Flying Squirrel’s forehead as he yanked off his headphones and declared gravely:

"The headphones are useless; this isn’t a sound-based attack. Once an Ability User of a music-based fruit sings this song, they can summon an ancient demon, Tot Musica!"

He shouted, "Admiral Kizaru! There’s a catastrophe! This isn’t just about the Navy and Pirates anymore; stop it quickly, don’t let it appear!"

"Oh~ I do want to, but someone insists on meeting it and won’t agree, and also..."

Kizaru pulled out the headphones from his pocket, and at the moment of discarding them, he fired a laser from his fingers, destroying the headphones and heading straight for the dark air mass, causing an explosion as it hit the air stream wall.

Bang!

Besides the sound, no damage was done.

"Absolute Defense? No... The fusion of reality and mind has transformed this area; it’s using ability to block."

Kizaru looked up at the darkening and spiraling sky vortex, exclaiming, "It’s truly terrifying."

"Doesn’t it seem familiar?"

Sage showed no signs of being disturbed by the celestial phenomenon, instead pointing at the spiraling, ascending dark air mass, "It’s just like it. This is a magic array!"

The aura of this thing gives a bizarre and absurd musical sense, with a touch of destructive delight.

The magic arrays of the Five Elders feel purely discomforting, exuding a thick evil intent.

Though they appear different, fundamentally, they are the same.

They all summon something!

There can be no mistake!

Sage’s savage grin grew wider.

He understood the essence of the situation!

"The redemption hymn of reversing life and death! The savior desired by all! Lost in prayers, longing only for a peaceful future on the waves..."

The singing continued, causing Sage to frown, "Is this also in the lyrics?"

Kizaru pushed up his sunglasses, using the reflection to hide his eyes, "The demon’s symphony is just notes, a sequence of melodies; it’s normal for a singer like the child to write their own lyrics, but also..."

"It’s coming out now."

As he spoke, musical notes burst out from the spiraling dark air, transforming into two types of soldiers.

A group of short black ones wielding long spears. A group of tall red ones holding knight lances and shields, converging as they moved down under the dark air and were engulfed by the darkness.

Gradually, the dark mass began to expand, first forming a grinning lower half of a face, with red lips and sharp teeth, black musical notes emerging and scattering like seagulls.

A hat crowned the singing Uta, slowly rising upward.

It was a high-top hat, beneath which was a head grinning like a Joker, its neck wrapped in a cloak, below which were three flaming skulls, connecting to piano key-formed arms and hands that appeared as if wearing white gloves.

The remaining body, like a liquid, constantly condensed and reshaped, infilling from the dark spiral below.

Whoosh!

Kizaru raised his hand and fired a laser at the piano key arm, causing an explosion.

"It’s still the same."

Kizaru remarked in surprise, "Normal attacks don’t seem effective."

"Then try something abnormal."

Seeing the black and red soldiers swiftly dive out from the dark beneath Tot Musica’s lower half, Sage merely waved a hand, and Haki transformed into a violent gust, blowing the soldiers apart, bursting into a kaleidoscope of musical notes.

In a swift motion, Sage’s hand formed into a fist, projecting a black and red beam straight at Tot Musica’s head.

Boom!!

The black light struck its face, forcing the massive entity, larger than a Giant with only a head and arms, to retreat. The impact was followed by an explosion, with the Haki-driven shockwave and detonation forming a small mushroom cloud, completely blasting Tot Musica away.

"Is that it?"

Sage withdrew his hand, "Doesn’t seem all that impressive."
