"UTA!" Shanks yelled as the shadows from the papers she was holding enveloped her, a massive burst of unknown power was flying around the room from where Uta was, many people were flown back.
"What's going on!" Beckman yelled, as he caught one of the citizens setting them down and telling them to run.
"I don't know! Uta was just enveloped in that darkness!" Shanks yelled at Beckman.
As people ran out of the church, where Uta was just standing, a creature started to form. Shanks could tell it was powerful and unsheathed his sword. He looked over and saw Gordon, the king of Elegia, on the floor with a face filled with fear and worry.
"Everyone!" Shanks called to his crew. "We must save the citizens and save Uta!"
The crew all yelled in agreement, and they all started to prepare for battle.
"Let's go!" Shanks yelled as he charged forward, he covered his sword in haki and sliced at the forming entity, but it was blocked by some invisible force. The creature that was forming almost looked like a demon, and it destroyed the building as it finally formed.
"Shanks! Be careful!" Yelled Gordon, Shanks looked behind him at Gordon who had blood coming down from his head and a stab wound from a sharp wooden shard that flew into his side when the building was destroyed.
"Do you know what this thing is? You must tell us everything quickly!" Shanks said quickly, before preparing another attack.
"Its name is Tot Muscia! Its the Demon King of Songs!" Gordon said. "It's only ever been summoned once before! And only a Sing-Sing fruit user can create it into existence with its music sheets!"
"Alright that's good enough for me." Shanks said as he leaped forward at a fast speed, charging towards Tot Musica as it was headed to the town.
__________________________________________
Inside Tot Musica, it was almost like an endless void of darkness. In the middle of it was Uta, her eyes hollow as if she had no willpower. She wasnt even able to process anything, even though she was watching everything happen in front of her, she couldnt do anything.
"Whats.... going on..." Uta said, with a soft barely audible voice. The darkness surrounded her, and no one could hear anything she said. Uta watched as Shanks and the crew attacked this being that held Uta, and as they attempted to save anyone they could.
"Why is this happening to me...." Uta said as she mentally broke down alone, in this darkness, with no one to be there for her.
Uta watched as this demon killed people, she couldnt do anything, and it was all her fault. __________________________________________
Shanks and the crew fought, as they did Hongo attempted to save anyone wounded but most everyone has already died, he managed to treat Gordon some.
"We cant stop it Shanks!" Yelled Yasopp, as he watched Tot Musica shoot a massive beam at more houses killing more people.
"We have to save Uta no matter what!" Shanks yelled as he covered his sword in conquerors haki as well are armament.
Shanks prepared to attack, and then leaped forward with incredible speed with his blade outstretched in front of him.
__________________________________________
Uta watched as she killed everyone, not able to do anything. Uta had been losing her energy this whole time and she was about to fall asleep, just before she closed her eyes she saw Shanks leap forward, time almost seemed to slow down as Uta watched him fly at her. Before Shanks hit the attack, Uta fell asleep.
__________________________________________
"Where is Uta!" Shanks yelled as the demon dissipated after his attack landed, looking around frantically.
"Right there in the sky!" Yasopp yelled, and Shanks looked up seeing Uta slowly fall to the ground which he leaped up and caught her before she hit the ground.
Shanks was holding Uta in his arms, as she slept. Gordon walked over holding his bandaged side, looking down at Uta.
"Tot Musica was defeated, thanks to you guys and Uta falling asleep." Gordon said, he then looked around. "But it seems I am the only survivor of Elegia..." His expression saddened.
Shanks looked up at Gordon "I apologize for not telling you she ate the Sing-Sing fruit, maybe this could have been prevented if I said something..." Shanks said looking down at Uta again.
Gordon looked down at Uta, she wasnt at fault for this. He was, he should have told Shanks about Tot Musica, he shouldnt have let the citizens play Uta singing around the whole island. It was all his fault he felt, he then looked at Shanks who was looking at him.
"Tell me about this Tot Musica, you said this was the second time it had appeared and could only be summoned by a Sing-Sing fruit user." Shanks said, looking at Gordon with a serious expression.
Gordon sighed. "Remember when I told you about the woman that became the first Queen of Elegia? Like I said, she ate the Sing-Sing fruit as well and brought a new life to music in Elegia. This all occurred nine hundred years ago, in what the world calls the Blank century, we know only are islands history during that time though."
Shanks nodded, remembering the history Gordon shared with Uta and him. But this happened in the 100 years of history that no one knew about, except for Roger and the crew that made it to Laughtale surprised Shanks and intrigued him even more.
"But I said a tragic event occurred and, in the end, she ended her life." Gordon said, "What happened was her best friend died, right in front of her eyes by an assassin who was about to kill her."
Shanks listened closely, trying to learn everything he could about the history of Elegia. Gordon then continued.
"She was filled with grief and anger at the death of her friend, and through all those emotions she summoned the Demon King of Songs somehow." Gordon explained, "The whole island was ravaged and destroyed, but a man arrived on the Island and ended up defeating Tot Musica saving the few dozen citizens that were still alive. When Tot Musica was defeated, music sheets appeared where it dissipated."
Shanks wondered who this man was, if he defeated Tot Musica on his own, he must have been very impressive. Shanks then thought for a moment, and realized this person very well could be Joyboy.
"When the queen recovered, she ended up taking her life right when she found out about what she had done out of regret and grief." Gordon said.
"What was this man's name?" Shanks asked, looking at Gordon.
"That I'm afraid was lost in time, I dont know nor did any of the Kings and Queens before me." Gordon said.
Shanks then got up and walked towards the castle carrying Uta. The castle wasnt too destroyed due to being farther up the mountain above the town. Gordon stayed, looking around at the destroyed Island which was still burning.
__________________________________________
Eventually Shanks returned, without Uta and the crew seemed to be preparing to leave.
Shanks looked at Gordon "Could you do me a favor, and not tell Uta about what she has done? I dont want her to think it's her fault." Shanks said.
"You're going to leave Uta here?" Gordon asked.
"Yeah, her voice can bring happiness to everyone in the world." Shanks said, smiling. "It would be a waste to keep her cooped up on our ship."
Before Gordon could respond, he saw flashing out in the ocean, as a Navy Battleship approached. Shanks sighed seeing them, then ordered his crew to prepare to head to the ship.
"I'll take the blame for everything that happened." Gordon said.
"No, it should be us." Shanks said, and Gordon quickly looked over at him surprised.
"Tell the Navy we did it, we will take the blame for you." Shanks said, and Gordon just nodded. "Do you have any treasure we can take to make it convincing?"
Gordon nodded and gave them all the treasure that survived the incident, and Shanks and his crew started to leave.
"Tell Uta we did it as well, please" Shanks said as he left, and Gordon nodded.
__________________________________________
Uta woke up abruptly, confused about where she was. Her memory was foggy, but all she knew was she wasnt on the Red-Hair pirate's ship. She looked out the window and saw the city of Elegia burning, with flames everywhere. She quickly got out of bed and ran outside and ran into Gordon who was watching the flames.
"Gordon... What happened...." Uta asked looking around. "Where is Shanks???" Uta asked desperately.
"They took everything! Shanks and his crew destroyed Elegia, they lied to you and used your singing voice to get into the island!" Gordon yelled, "He has left with all the treasure after killing everyone but me."
"No... HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT!" Uta screamed as tears ran down her face, she then started to run towards the docks hoping Shanks was still there. She ran through the burning city, towards the dock quickly, she tripped slamming into the ground but got up and continued running.
Gordon ran after her quickly, as she ran out of the city, she reached the docks seeing Shanks ship leaving as Navy shot at them in pursuit.
"SHANKS! DONT LEAVE ME!" Uta screamed towards the boat leaving as she ran across the dock to the water, Gordon right behind her trying to stop her. She reached the end of the dock and tried jumping in the ocean, but Gordon caught her, she watched as Shanks kept going.
Uta wailed as she watched them leave, hearing their laughter. "Why...? Why would you do this?!" Uta screamed with tears in her eyes. She watched Shanks leave, as she was there being held by Gordon.
__________________________________________
Shanks and the crew sat at the back of the ship facing away from the island, while they were laughing, they all had tears streaming down their faces.
"Let's be happy! As are wonderful musician sets off on her own, to follow her own path!" Said Shanks smiling, as tears kept streaming down his eyes.
Uta didnt hear him say that. She was stuck on the island helplessly being held back by Gordon, as she tried to jump in the sea. She watched as Shanks ship got out of view, and she continued to cry.
__________________________________________
Hours later Uta finally let Gordon bring her back to the castle, she shut her door to the room Gordon gave her. She was breaking down and started to destroy stuff in her room out of grief and anger.
Shanks left her, why did he do it, what did she do to deserve this. She was left here, never to see her family again, which was the Red-Haired Pirates.
"WHY!? WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?!" Uta screamed as she shattered a pot with flowers in it in her room. "SHANKS WHY...?" Uta collapsed falling to her knees crying, she eventually laid on the floor and fell asleep.
Gordon walked in and picked her up, putting her in the bed in her room, and he sighed as he cleaned up the wreck.

3 weeks later at Fusha Village.
"Their back!" Luffy yelled as he entered the bar, "Uta and Shanks!"
Luffy just saw their ship out at sea heading to the village, he left the bar quickly to greet them. Makino smiled as she saw Luffy leave, glad he was this excited to see his friend again.
Luffy ran to the docks as Shanks and the crew lowered the stairs, the sun was setting, and the crew started to walk down.
"Tell me about the adventures you had!" Luffy said excitedly, but the crew ignored him, walking right past him which got Luffy annoyed.
"Fine! Ill ask Uta. Luffy declared, UTA!... UTA!... Ill listen to you brag about your adventures! Uta! Where are you Uta..." Luffy yelled looking around.
Shanks was walking down the stairs, and Luffy looked at him.
"Shanks... Where is Uta? Where did she go?" Luffy said looking at Shanks, who crouches down. "No way. dont tell me..." Luffys eyes fill with tears "Did something happen to her?"
Shanks put his hand on Luffys head then spoke. "Don't worry, Luffy." Shanks said, "Uta left the ship to become the world's greatest singer. Thats all."
"What...?" Tears start going down Luffys face, "No way. Why?!" Luffy hits Shanks hand off his head. "She loves you so much! She'd never leave the ship! Something mustve happened!"
Shanks looked down some, and then looked at Luffy, seeing tears streaming down Luffys face.
"Say something Shanks!" Luffy said, grabbing his pants legs which he then starts hitting his legs as he cried.
"I'm done with you!" Luffy said, as he runs off crying, leaving Shanks alone.
Beckman who was on the ship still, watched Luffy go from the ship, he then looked down at Shanks. Shanks was just standing there looking down some, Beckman just waited for his Captain to move ahead.
