Uta's exclamation was too abrupt for such a banquet occasion. The guests also looked sideways after hearing Uta's exclamation, and looked in the direction of Uta.

Even the band playing in the middle of the lawn was affected, the rhythm was a little disordered, and then it could not be found back to the previous key, and the musicians stopped playing, and the singers in the center of the stage also stopped abruptly, and looked in the direction of the riot with a stunned face.

The entire banquet scene suddenly fell silent at this moment.

"Talk, little girl?"

"If you don't speak, I'll take you to your parents, uncle."

At the table, the old man grabbed Uta's hand, as if he hadn't noticed that the atmosphere in the venue was a little different, and talked to Uta, completely ignoring Uta's struggle and resistance.

"Grand Duke Antar Langore!"

Some of the guests recognized the old man with the crown on his head, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they didn't stop it, and some people who didn't want to cause trouble for themselves couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Antar Langlei is the lord of the Principality of Belan, which is also a behemoth in a place like the East China Sea. The town of Rogue, where One Piece Roger was executed, was once part of the jurisdiction of the Duchy of Belan.

It's just that after Roger's death opened the Age of Discovery, Rogge Town, as the last stop in the first half of the East China Sea's route to the Great Voyage, was also strictly controlled by the navy.

But even if there is one less densely populated town in the principality, the strength of the Principality of Belan is still quite strong, and it is also one of the top powers in the East China Sea.

The most powerful country in the East China Sea is the Kingdom of Goa, which is now under the control of Shanks, and the Kingdom of Goa is not only one of the members of the World Government, but also invites the king of the Kingdom of Goa to participate in the World Council when the World Government convenes the World Conference.

But this does not prevent Grand Duke Antar Langlei from having a huge deterrent power of his own, and there are really few people in the East China Sea who can meddle with his affairs.

"Bastard! Hurry up and let me go! ”

Uta was grabbed by Antar Langley's hand, no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free, and he was a little impatient at this moment, and suddenly let out a low sound, and then pinched the cake in his hand with his left hand, and smashed it directly into Antar Langlei's face.

Grand Duke Antar Langlei obviously didn't expect this little girl's temper to be so hot, and she was directly smashed by the cake, and the cream was pasted on her face, and even stained her eyes.

"Whew-" After a cry of pain, Antar Langlei let go of Uta's hand and sat down on the lawn with an unsteady look.

Uta, who had successfully broken free, noticed the slightly frightened gaze of the people around her, and was also uneasy, so she trotted to Shanks's side, holding Shanks' thighs and hiding behind Shanks.

"Little bastard, what did you do?!"

"I'm going to teach you a good lesson on behalf of your parents!"

"Bastard, don't run!"

Antar Langlei stretched out his hand to wipe the cream from his face, and shouted in his mouth, and his entourage, after hearing the shouts of his lord, also ran to help Antar Langlei to get up from the ground.

It was only then that Gordon reacted and hurried towards Antar Langlei.

"Rest your anger, Grand Duke Antar, children are not sensible, you don't care about children as an adult."

"Quick, quick, what are you still doing in a daze, help the Grand Duke go back to his room to change clothes!"

Gordon hurriedly reached out to pick up Antar Langlei, and at the same time played a round, there were rumors about Grand Duke Antar Langlei, he had only heard of it, and when he saw it today, Gordon realized that those rumors may not be groundless.

He didn't want to explore the cause of this riot at all, he just wanted to make the big thing small and the small thing small.

After stabilizing Grand Duke Antar Langlei, Gordon also looked sideways at Shanks and the others, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, Uta, we're here!"

Shanks noticed Gordon's appearance and tilted his head slightly, completely ignoring it.

They were pirates, and if someone hurt his family, he couldn't forgive them anyway.

And

Shanks also noticed that Antar Langley was behaving very strangely.

If he wasn't mistaken, it seems that Antar Langlei is trying to kidnap Uta, right?!

"Fuck off! Get out of here! ”

"I can't forgive, I can't forgive!"

Gordon's idea was to get the matter lightly, but Shanks obviously didn't think so, not only Shanks, but also Antar Langlei himself obviously wouldn't rest on his laurels.

Letting a little ghost lose face in front of so many people, with Antar Langlei's temperament, how could he swallow his anger like this?!

Wiping the cream off his face, he could still feel a slight tingling sensation in his eyes, and Antar Langlei looked around with an angry face, and soon found Uta hiding behind Shanks at this time.

Antar Langlei's gaze swept over Shanks's body, and when he saw Shanks wearing a poor sour dress and a straw hat, a contemptuous smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then as soon as the smile was closed, he walked towards Shanks with a menacing attitude.

Seeing this, Gordon stepped forward to stop him, but two of Antar Langley's entourage quickly came behind Gordon and grabbed Gordon's two arms left and right.

Although this is Gordon's territory, Antar Langley is quite unscrupulous.

"Tsk~"

Seeing Antar Langlei coming menacingly, Ji Guoyuan couldn't help but help but hold on to his sunglasses, and couldn't help but feel a little sore.

In this world, there are many smart people who don't know Ji Guoyuanyi, but what he knows is that the number of arrogant fools is too much.

Maybe it's because of the wisdom that the nobles can freely exploit the relationship between the people at the bottom, and those nobles who are used to enjoying a comfortable life are not scheming, and sometimes the logic of behavior is quite stupid.

In other words, many of those nobles were just "spiritual dragons" who lived outside the Holy Land.

"What do you think I should do, Mr. Righteous Navy?"

Shanks looked at Antar Langlei, who was getting closer, his expression became cold, and he turned his head slightly towards Ji Guoyuan and asked.

It is said to be an inquiry, but it is actually a notification.

No matter what Ji Guoyuan says, Shanks will not change his mind about standing up for Uta.

"Whatever you like."

"I don't have any interest in the life or death of the scum."

Ji Guoyuanyi said with a flat expression, Antar Langlei's style is already a way to kill in Jiguoyuanyi's opinion.

The two of Antar Langlei's entourage, who restrained Gordon at this time, looked at Shanks with gloating expressions.

This picture was also seen by Ji Guoyuan, and in their eyes, it didn't seem to be the first time they had encountered something like that.

For such a person, Ji Guoyuan has an interest in inquiry.

"You guy, are you the parent of that little ghost?!"

"Hand over the little bastard to me!"

"Or else"

Antar Langlei walked in front of Shanks, grabbed Shanks by the collar, and said angrily, Antar Langlei's face was full of hideous color, and then squinted at Uta on Shanks' side, in his eyes, Shanks actually saw a strong desire.

“？？？” Shanks thought he had mistaken it, and blinked, looking at Antar Langley, exuding an aura of terror all over his body.

"My crew will not be handed over to anyone!"

"What's more, Uta is my daughter!"

As he spoke, Beckman's figure suddenly disappeared behind Shanks. On the other side, Ji Guoyuan noticed it, and looked slightly sideways at Antar Langlei's side.

"Bang !!"

In the next second, a gunshot rang out on the lawn, Antar Langore's body was crooked, blood gushed out of his temples and sprinkled on the lawn, and Antar Langore's body also fell weakly on the grass.

Beckman stood at the side of Antar Langore's body, holding a short gun in one hand, and at the muzzle, a few wisps of gunsmoke were rising.

The guests at the venue all looked at Beckman and Shanks in amazement, silent.

And the two Antar Langlei entourages who were restraining Gordon were also full of shock for a while, and subconsciously let go of Gordon.

Looking at Antar Langley, who was lying in the grass, the two attendants seemed to have no way to accept the reality in front of them, gasping for breath, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

He's dead

Grand Duke Antar Langlei has been killed!

"Ahh

When the people reacted, a scream immediately sounded in the venue, and the two attendants who had restrained Gordon didn't bother to check on Antar Langley for a while, took a deep look at Shanks and Beckman, remembered their appearances, and then turned around and hurriedly fled the venue.

The guests were also frightened by this scene, and people scattered in all directions.

Gordon walked to the side of Antar Langore's corpse with heavy steps, the corners of his eyes twitched violently, and he trembled and stretched out his hand, not daring to touch Antar Langley.

"Shanks."

"It's so impulsive! You're so impulsive! ”

"Woe to you. The real disaster, even if you are the Seven Martial Seas, the navy will definitely not sit idly by and ignore you. ”

"You killed the lord of the Duchy of Belan!"

Gordon didn't expect things to go in such a direction at all, and he didn't expect Shanks, who had always been a good talker, to be so decisive this time.

This simply does not even give him room to ease the contradictions, and directly "solves" the contradictions.

"I'm sorry!"

"Gordon, I'm afraid I'm going to get you in some trouble this time."

"But don't worry, I'll leave after the trouble is solved."

Shanks was completely unaware of the "disaster" that his actions could bring, and his tone was flat, and he did not take Antar Langlei's death into account at all.

Compared to the troubles caused by the death of Antar Langore, Shanks felt that guiding Utta's heart was the first priority.

At some point, Uta was already asleep in Shanks's arms.

Before Beckman could shoot, Shanks had stunned Uta with his overlord color, and he didn't want his daughter to see such a bloody scene at such a young age.

"You."

"Alas"

Gordon had many, many words, all of which were held in his chest at this time, and in the end, they could only turn into a sigh.

Shanks made decisions that he could not influence.

"Leave it to your own devices."

"I'll let someone deal with the matter here first, and later I'll have someone take Mr. Ji Guoyuanyi to go through the classics in our country's collection."

"As for."

Gordon looked at Shanks and Uta in his arms with a complicated expression, and hesitated in his heart. When something like this happens, Uta doesn't need to talk about it at all.

Right now, Gordon doesn't even have the heart to put on a concert.

He must deal with the reproaches of the world government and the navy, as well as the Duchy of Belin.

Although he was able to pick himself very clean, it would inevitably take a lot of time.

"Gordon, don't worry about us."

"If there's any problem, just push it on us."

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Shanks said sorry again, and Gordon waved his hand when he saw this, and then called the guards to collect Antar Langlei's body.

And Shanks and the others, after doing such a thing, seemed to be unaffected, wandering around the guild hall and observing the customs of the island.

Uta came to her senses after ten minutes in a coma, and when she woke up, she didn't feel anything about what had just happened, and was quickly attracted by the instruments in the backstage of the auditorium.

As for Jiguo Yuanyi, it was also a brief separation from Shanks and others, and under the leadership of Gordon, he went to the underground library.

Gordon didn't mean to accompany Jiguo Yuanyi, he was also very relieved to Jiguoyuanyi, and let Jiguoyuan go over the books, and Gordon himself quickly went back to clean up the mess.

The World Government, the Navy Headquarters, and the Principality of Belin have also received news of the murder of Antar Langre. At Shanks' behest, Gordon did not hide the identities of these members of the red-haired pirates.

In addition to concealing the existence of Jiguo Yuanyi, Gordon also reported truthfully in the face of inquiries from several forces.

I thought that the world government and navy would be furious, but what I didn't expect was that the world government and navy didn't say anything about what to do with Gordon after knowing the relevant situation, and they didn't follow up after hanging up the phone.

On the side of the Principality of Belan, they were naturally very angry when they heard that the lord of the country had been killed by the Seven Martial Seas, but their anger was not vented on Gordon and the Country of Music, but turned to put pressure on the world government and the navy, hoping that the world government would severely punish Shanks, the Seven Martial Seas.

However, the pressure of the Principality of Belin was ignored by the world government, and the world government and the navy remained silent on this matter, and even used some means to make the Principality of Belan remain silent.

The death of Antar Langlei was not able to set off even a little wave, as if it had never happened, and was quickly forgotten, but the nobles who witnessed the scene had a new conversation after the dinner.

In the dimly lit underground library.

The oil lamps on the four walls emitted a dim glow, and Ji Kunichi stood in the center of the library, tilting his head and carefully observing the murals on the dome.

For dinner, Gordon had already had someone bring it over, and after entering the library, he also read a lot of books, but he didn't see what he wanted to see at all.

Many of the books in this library are old sheet music.

There are records of "demons", and the number is very small.

In Ji Guoyuanyi's opinion, the amount of information is not even as great as the mural above the dome.

"The Demon King of Songs."

"Devil Fruit and Demon King, will there be any inevitable connection?"

"Will the demon and the world we exist in be the same dimensional existence?!"

Ji Guoyuan looked at the mural on the dome and muttered to himself in his heart.

in the concert hall.

Wearing a puffy skirt, Uta stepped onto the stage in the eyes of the audience, and sang loudly under the audience's attention.

The bright and beautiful children's voices echoed in the business hall, and in the audience, Shanks and Gordon sat together, both listening intently to Uta's beautiful singing.

Singing genius!

Gordon had already experienced Uta's singing voice in the afternoon, and he couldn't bear to let such a voice be buried, so Gordon deliberately gave Uta a chance to perform, and now it seems that Uta's performance is quite good.

At the end of a song, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Under the attention of the audience, Uta also slowly walked off the stage, and today's small concert is also officially over. Gordon, Shanks, and the others left the concert hall and went backstage to join Uta.

In order to celebrate the success of Uta's performance, Gordon specially set up a banquet to entertain Shanks.

"Boom, boom—"

In the underground library, a soft sound suddenly sounded in the ears of Ji Guoyuanyi.

Ji Guoyuan, who was looking at the mural, heard this movement, and his expression was slightly condensed.

The soft sound disappeared, and a sharp sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded.

At a glance, Ji Guoyuan Yi noticed that a few pages of yellow paper suddenly appeared from the shadows, and then quickly floated past Ji Guo Yuanyi's side, and then disappeared without a trace.
