With a clear plan, the Red Hair Pirates and Leo get closer to the island. They move fast to approach Uta and Tot Musica which start pulling people into the virtual world. The Red Hair Pirates members who are assigned to enter the virtual world hear Uta's song and get pulled into her world without any resistance.

As they run to Uta and Tot Musica, Shanks gives a signal to Leo. He points at Leo and Uta, then points at himself and Tot Musica. It's clear that Shanks wants Leo to take care of Uta while he takes care of Tot Musica.

Leo nods because he knows that Shanks is far stronger than him. It's better if Shanks is the one facing Tot Musica that obviously has more battle power than Uta. Leo doesn't know if Uta can fight well when the power of Sing Sing Fruit isn't effective, but Leo is confident he can subdue Uta.

He is actually afraid of hurting her too much if he can't control his power well. Even so, he won't hesitate to hurt her. She needs to know the consequences of doing all of this. Getting hurt is inevitable if she goes against the world, after all.

Tot Musica realizes that some people aren't affected by Sing Sing Fruit. It tries to attack them by releasing some energy attacks. But they manage to evade them and Leo rushes to Uta by flying in his fire form.

Obviously, Tot Musica sees him trying to get closer to Uta. It can't let the Sing Sing Fruit user get attacked, so it attacks Leo. But its attack is destroyed by a powerful flying slash attack. Shanks swings his sword to destroy it which attracts Tot Musica's attention.

'So powerful! It doesn't even seem like he used his full power either. Just a casual attack already has that much power.'

Leo is really impressed by Shanks's power and wonders when he can reach that level. But he stops that thought immediately because he needs to survive this to even dream of getting stronger. He flies faster toward Uta who seems crazed as if she is possessed.

Uta can see him approaching and starts singing louder to pull him into her world. But he can't hear anything, so he doesn't get affected. Surprised, Uta tries to run away because she knows clearly that Leo is stronger than her.

Unfortunately for her, she is too slow compared to Leo. He catches up quickly and captured Uta easily. Leo wants to knock her out, but then remembers that if she loses consciousness, then Tot Musica will disappear too.

That monster has appeared, so might as well beat it up until it's afraid of going out again. Leo pressed Uta's face to the ground while holding her hands on her back. Then he uses his belt to tie Uta's hands before dragging her by feet to a spot where they can watch the battle.

Leo can take her there normally, but he is very annoyed by her now, so he drags her by feet. Uta struggles, but she can't break free from Leo's grasp and the belt's bind. They finally arrive on top of a hill, but Leo is stunned when he looks back at Uta.

"Damn, she actually enters her dream world. Tsk, whatever, it's the same no matter where she is. I just need to prevent her from getting harmed. I'm sure that monster can do something to the user's body or it won't try to affect her so persistently."

The battle in the real world has already started. Shanks is fighting Tot Musica using his saber while his crewmates support him with their guns. Leo watches the battle between Shanks and Tot Musica. His eyes are filled with amazement as he watches Shanks's powerful attacks.

Each of Shanks's attacks looks casual, but they are much more powerful than any sword attack Leo ever seen. Shanks can destroy Tot Musica's energy attacks easily and injure the monster with each strike. And it looks like Shanks doesn't go all out.

"Is he testing that monster's power first?"

In Uta's virtual world, a battle also breaks between Tot Musica and Red Hair Pirates. Yasop leads the pirates to attack the monster while Benn is facing Uta. He was leading the pirates before, but when Uta appeared, he shifted the command to Yasop.
