"Well, I said, and I believe she can do it, what are you going to do?"

"Qin Zuoluo, although I haven't known you for a long time, we should be friends."

"Are you so naïve? But if I have to say it... That's pretty much it."

Tezzolo was sensitive to the word friend, and he was very cautious about the word friend after believing in the friends brought by money, and after that, he was very cautious about the word friend.

Since he became the CEO of Hundred Beast Fruit, countless people want to be his friend, but none of those people are sincere, even within the Hundred Beast Pirates, most of them are just colleagues with him.

Regardless of his identity background, Yamato is probably one of his most trusted friends, she has no purpose for her assistance, and she was still a poor bastard working every day at that time.

The way he and Shanks get along these days is to drink and chat, if the friends he met back then are also this kind of people, then his life may be completely different.

"Since we're friends, I'll leave Uta to you, and I'll leave the rest of the days to you."

"Wait, what do you mean by that? We signed a contract and we didn't sever the father-daughter relationship, although you have your own pirate group, but as long as you don't enter a hostile state, this kind of thing doesn't matter at all, Boss Kaido doesn't care about this kind of thing."

"No, that's not what it means, there has to be an explanation for this, and when Uta wakes up, you tell her that we committed this crime of destroying the country, and she was abandoned by us."

It's similar to the original timeline, except that at that time he handed Uta to Gordon, because Shanks in that timeline had no one to help, and there was nothing he could do in the face of the destruction brought by the Song Demon King, and Ellegia was finally wiped out, and only Gordon survived.

So he gave Uta to Gordon and let Uta live under lies for a long time.

But now it is different, although there are many casualties and the country is on the verge of destruction, but a large part of the people have survived, and it is inevitable that some of these people will have a grudge against Uta, so it is not suitable for Uta to stay here.

In the face of Tezzolo, who has channels, it may be the best option to let Uta use his talent there.

「…… Don't you know how much this kid cares about you? 「

"I know, it's because I know, that's why I don't want her to know what's going on here, if you hate me, you can turn the page on this matter and let her continue to grow up happily, I don't mind being hated by her for the rest of my life."

"Don't say anything stupid! She won't be happy at all! You men don't understand a girl's heart!"

Stella, who came to look for Qin Zolo, heard Shanks' words and immediately refuted the other party.

"Stella, don't say that, I can understand you very well."

Tezzolo, who was accidentally injured by Stella's map cannon, defended this, but Stella didn't care.

is also a woman, and Stella is also one of the actors of Uta worship, so naturally they talked more about each other.

"This child values the relationship with you very much, and if you leave like this, it will be an abandonment for her! That's what she couldn't accept more than the destruction here!

You think you're doing it for her good, but have you considered her feelings?"

"I know she's the child I raised, and I know her better than you do, so she'll only hate us, but she'll not forgive herself if you let her know everything.

This kid is easy to get into the horns, and it's better for her to hate me than to keep her upset."

Shanks lowered his straw hat, as Uta's adoptive father, he cared for Uta no less than anyone else, but in some ways it seemed very inappropriate.

"It's useless, this matter will spread sooner or later, you can't hide it from her for the rest of your life."

"At least hide it from her for a few years, and then tell her when she is more mature and can calmly accept this matter, Your Majesty Gordon, can you please change your tone?"

Stella's words made Shanks think more carefully, and at the same time decided to make a change in her plans.

"What?"

"TotMusa, only you know, right?"

"Hmm."

This is the secret of King Elegia, and if everyone knew that there was such a monster sealed under their kingdom, they would have lived in a different place long ago.

"Then please tell the people that it was my red-haired Shanks who unleashed this demon..."

"Guys, the navy's ship is coming."

Before Shanks finished speaking, there was already new news from Tanaka, there was also a naval base near Alegia, and they naturally came to wash the floor after making such a big move.

"These guys always show up so out of place, I'm serious, Uta has a great talent, and we'll only waste that talent if we're always wanted, so I'll give her to you for the time being, but don't let her be a pirate.

Tezzolo, it's nothing else, it's a friend's request."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to let her do anything weird."

"But Stella is right, I'll pick her up when the time comes, and if she can grow up without us, she will be able to face these realities."

Shanks finally made this decision, hiding these things for the time being, and then slowly clearing up the truth with her when she is older, and at the same time letting Uta go to the big stage of the world.

After receiving Tezzolo's assurance, Shanks also planned to take someone out of here, but before he could leave, he received a phone call from Stella.

"Leave her a message, at least you have to let her know that she hasn't been abandoned by you."

"That's right..."

With all the members of the red-haired pirates, Shanks left a video message for Uta, and then left Ellegia under fire, which naturally has some more lies, which is also something that cannot be helped, if you want to perfect a lie, all you need is more lies.

……

Because of Darkrai, Uta was in a slumber for longer, and when she woke up again, Tezzolo was already driving with her on the sea.

Heracrossus is still with Uta, but the Red-Haired Pirates are long gone.

"Shanks? Shanks!"

Awakened, Uta instinctively searched for Shanks, but only got a phone bug.

As the projection opens, the red-haired pirates appear on the screen and wave goodbye to Uta.

[Hey, Uta, we should have been separated by the time you saw this image, but don't worry, we haven't abandoned you.

We've had some trouble in Ellegia, because of something very complicated, and we've been saddled with something for the time being, which can only be explained when you grow into a world-class singer.

Because of this incident, we will all face the pursuit of the Navy for a long time to come.

This time the pursuit will be much more fierce than before, and it will be too dangerous for you to follow me, so I will let you follow Qin Zuoluo and them for the time being.

The separation is only temporary, and when you grow, we will take you back.

Don't be sad, we're all waiting for the day when we see you on the screen, no matter where you are, you'll always be the singer of the Red-Haired Pirates, and you'll always be my daughter. 】

This was followed by everyone's instructions to Uta, which was to sum up the need to pay attention to the body, that the day of reunion would not be too far away, and an explanation of what happened to Ellegia.

Gordon's internal explanation is that Shanks unleashed the demon, and the Navy knows about a similar situation, but at Stella's suggestion, Shanks simply tells Uta that he has been "framed".

This matter is very complicated, and she can only solve this matter if she has enough status, and if she wants to grow better, she must be separated temporarily.

He did this mainly because he was worried that if he continued to take Uta, he would inadvertently expose this matter, and the current Uta was not suitable to face this reality, so he made this compromise choice.

"That's it, Shanks may be in a bit of trouble right now, so you've joined our show business for the time being, waiting for him to get his business done

We'll send you back too."

Stella then comforted her with Uta, looked at her slightly lost, and handed her a phone bug again.

"What is this?"

"The phone bug used to contact Shanks, he only had to be separated from you temporarily because of some things, but you can still get in touch."

It's easy to get along day and night, but it doesn't matter if it's just a phone call, Uta's expression quickly changed when he heard the news, and he quickly dialed the phone.

As Shanks answered the phone, Uta's roar was heard from it.

"Shanks! You big idiot!!"
