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

Even the band playing in the middle of the lawn was affected. The rhythm was slightly disordered, and then it could no longer find the previous tune. All the musicians stopped playing one after another, and the singer in the center of the stage also stopped and suddenly stopped. Then he stopped and looked in the direction of the commotion with a look of astonishment on his face.

The entire banquet scene suddenly became quiet at this moment.

"Speak, little girl?"

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

In front of the dining table, the old man held Uta's hand, as if he didn't notice that the atmosphere in the venue was different. He talked to Uta on his own, completely ignoring Uta's struggle and resistance.

"Grand Duke Antar Langre!"

Some of the guests recognized the old man wearing the crown, and did not stop him when they saw the scene in front of them. Some people who did not want to cause trouble for themselves even took a few steps back.

Antar Langre is the head of the Principality of Beilan, which can be considered a behemoth in a place like the East China Sea. The town of Rogge, where the Pirate King Roger was executed, once belonged to the jurisdiction of the Principality of Beilan.

It's just that after Roger's death and the start of the Age of Discovery, Rogge Town, as the last stop on the first half of the East China Sea's Great Route, was also strictly controlled by the navy.

But even though there is one less densely populated town in the principality, the strength of the Beilan Principality is still quite strong, and it is one of the top forces in the East China Sea.

The most powerful country in the East China Sea is the Kingdom of Goa, which is now controlled by Shanks. The Kingdom of Goa is not only a member of the World Government, but when the World Government holds a world conference, it will even invite the king of the Kingdom of Goa to participate. Yes, in terms of power, it is not comparable to the Principality of Beilan.

But this does not hinder the huge deterrent power of Grand Duke Antar Langre. In the East China Sea, there are really not many people who can mind his business.

"Asshole! Let me go!"

Uta was held by Antar Langre, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free. At this moment, he became a little impatient, and suddenly made a low sound, then pinched the cake in his hand with his left hand, and directly and fiercely It hit Antar Langre in the face.

Grand Duke Antar Langre obviously did not expect that this little girl had such a hot temper. He was directly hit by the cake, and the cream was smeared on his face and even stained his eyes.

"Ouch -" After a cry of pain, Antar Langre let go of Uta's hand and sat unsteadily on the lawn.

Uta, who successfully broke away, noticed the slightly horrified looks of the people around him, and felt uneasy. He trotted to Shanks' side, hugged Shanks' thigh and hid behind Shanks.

"Little bastard, what did you do?!"

"I want to teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents!"

"Asshole, don't run!"

Antar Langre stretched out his hand to wipe the cream on his face and shouted loudly. After hearing the shouts of his king, his followers also ran over and helped Antar Langre to stand up from the ground. .

It was only then that Gordon realized and hurriedly ran towards Antar Langre.

"Calm down, Grand Duke Antar, children are ignorant. As an adult, don't argue with children."

"Quick, quick, what are you doing standing still? Help the Grand Duke back to his room to change clothes!"

Gordon quickly reached out to help Antal Langley, and at the same time tried to smooth things over. He had only heard about the rumors about Grand Duke Antar Langley. When he saw him today, Gordon realized that those rumors might be This is not groundless.

He doesn't want to explore the cause of this commotion at all now. He just wants to reduce big things to trivial matters.

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

"Uta, don't be afraid, we are here!"

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

They were pirates. If someone hurt his family, he would never forgive him.

And
Shanks also noticed that Antar Langre was behaving strangely.

If he had read correctly just now, Antar Langre seemed to want to kidnap Uta, right? !
"Get away! Get away from me!"

"Can't forgive, absolutely can't forgive!"

Gordon's idea was to let this matter go lightly, but Shanks obviously didn't think so. Not only Shanks, but Antar Langre himself obviously wouldn't let it go.

A brat had lost face in front of so many people. With Antar Langre's temperament, how could he just swallow it? !
After wiping off the cream on his face, he could still feel a little stinging sensation in his eyes. Antar Langre looked around with an angry look on his face, and soon discovered Uta who was hiding behind Shanks at this time.

Antar Langre glanced at Shanks, and saw that Shanks was poorly dressed and wearing a straw hat. A contemptuous smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then the smile faded, and he turned towards Shanks with great agitation. Shanks walked away.

When Gordon saw this scene, he stepped forward to stop him, but Antar Langre's two followers quickly came behind Gordon and grabbed Gordon's arms, one on the left and the other on the right.

Although this is Gordon's territory, Antal Langley behaves quite unscrupulously.

"Tsk~"

Seeing Antar Langre approaching menacingly, Ji Guoyuan couldn't help but adjusted his sunglasses and felt a little sour in his teeth.

Ji Guoyuan didn't know whether there were many smart people in this world, but what he knew was that there were too many arrogant fools.

Perhaps because of their lack of wisdom, the nobles can freely exploit the relationships of the lower class people. Those nobles who are accustomed to enjoying a comfortable life are not very scheming, and sometimes their behavioral logic is quite stupid.

In other words, many of those nobles are just "spiritual dragons" living outside the Holy Land.

"Mr. Justice Marine, what do you think I should do?"

Shanks looked at Antar Langre who was getting closer, his expression became colder, and he tilted his head slightly and asked Tsukikuni Enichi.

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

No matter what Ji Guoyuan said, Shanks would never change his mind about standing up for Uta.

"up to you."

"I have no interest in the life and death of scum."

Jiguo Yuanyi said with a calm expression, Antar Langre's behavior seemed to Jiguo Yuanyi to seek death in the right way.

The two followers of Antar Langre were restraining Gordon at this time, and looked at Shanks with expressions full of gloating.

This look was also noticed by Ji Guoyuan. From their point of view, what happened just now was not the first time they had encountered it.

For such people, Ji Guoyuan showed interest in exploring.

"Are you the kid's parent?!"

"Leave the little bastard to me!"

"otherwise"

Antal Langre walked up to Shanks, grabbed Shanks by the collar, and said angrily. Antar Langre's face was full of ferocious color, and then he glanced sideways. Glancing at Uta beside Shanks, Shanks actually saw strong desire in his eyes.

"???" Shanks thought he had seen it wrong. He blinked and looked at Antar Langre, exuding an aura of terror.

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

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

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

"boom!!!"

The next second, a gunshot rang out on the lawn. Antal Langley's body tilted, blood gushes from his temples and sprinkled on the lawn, and Antal Langley's body also fell weakly. on the grass.

Beckman stood beside Antar Langre's body, holding a short gun in one hand, with a few wisps of gunpowder smoke rising from the muzzle.

All the guests at the venue looked at Beckman, Shanks and others in astonishment, and fell silent.

The two Antal Langley's followers who were holding Gordon down had their faces filled with astonishment and subconsciously let go of Gordon.

Looking at Antar Langre who fell in the grass, the two followers seemed unable to accept the reality in front of them. They gasped for air and their bodies trembled involuntarily. died
Archduke Antar Langre was killed!
"what--"

When people reacted, a scream immediately rang out in the venue. The two followers who had originally restrained Gordon didn't even bother to check on Antal Langley. They took a deep look at Xiang Xiang. Kess and Beckman memorized their faces, then turned around and fled the venue in a hurry.

The guests attending the meeting were also frightened by this scene. People became confused and fled in all directions.

Gordon walked with heavy steps to the body of Antal Langre. The corners of his eyes twitched violently, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly, not daring to touch Antal Langre.

"Shank Shanks."

"Too impulsive! You are too impulsive!"

"Disaster. Real disaster. Even if you are a Shichibukai, the Navy will never sit idly by and ignore you."

"You killed the leader of Beilan Principality!"

Gordon never expected that the situation would develop in this direction, nor did he expect that Shanks, who had always been easy to talk to, would be so decisive this time.

This simply "resolved" the conflict without even giving him any room to ease the conflict.

"Sorry!"

"Gordon, I'm afraid this time it will bring you some trouble."

"But don't worry, I will solve the problem before leaving."

Shanks had no idea what kind of "disaster" his actions could bring. His tone was calm, and he didn't take the death of Antal Langley into consideration at all.

Compared with the trouble caused by Antar Langre's death, Shanks felt that guiding Utta's heart well was the first priority.

At some point, Uta fell asleep deeply in Shanks' arms.

Just before Beckman fired, Shanks had already stunned Uta with his overlord color. He didn't want his daughter to see such a bloody scene at such a young age.

"you."

"Ugh"

Gordon had many words that he was holding in his chest at this time, but in the end, they could only be turned into a sigh.

The decision Shanks made was beyond his control.

"You can do it yourself."

"I'll let people handle things here first, and later I'll let people take Mr. Enichi Jiguo to go through the classics collected by our country."

"As for."

Gordon looked at Shanks and Uta in his arms with a complicated expression, hesitating in his heart. After such a thing happened, there was no need to talk more about Uta studying music here.

At the moment, Gordon doesn't even have the intention to hold any concerts.

He must deal with the accusations from the World Government and Navy as well as the Principality of Bellan.

Although he was able to do this very cleanly, he still had to spend a lot of time.

"Gordon, don't worry about us."

"If you have any problems, just blame them on us."

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Shanks apologized again, and Gordon waved his hand when he saw this, then called the guards and collected Antar Langre's body.

Shanks and the others seemed unaffected after doing such a thing, wandering around the clubhouse and observing the customs and customs of the island.

Uta woke up after being unconscious for more than ten minutes. After she woke up, she had no feeling about what had just happened. She was quickly attracted to the musical instruments backstage in the performance hall.

As for Enichi Jiguo, he also had a brief separation from Shanks and others. Under the leadership of Gordon, he went to the underground library.

Gordon had no intention of accompanying Jiguoyuan, and he was very relieved about Jiguoyuan, allowing Jiguoyuan to browse through the books, while Gordon himself quickly went back to clean up the mess.

The World Government, the Navy Headquarters, and the Principality of Bellan also received news of Antar Langre's murder. Under Shanks' instruction, Gordon did not conceal the identities of the red-haired pirates.

In addition to concealing the existence of Jiguo Yuanyi, Gordon also reported truthfully when asked by several forces.

I thought that the World Government and the Navy would be furious, but what was unexpected was that after the World Government and the Navy learned about the relevant situation, they did not tell Gordon what to do. After hanging up the phone, there was nothing more.

The Principality of Beilan was naturally very angry when they heard that the leader of the country had been killed by the Shichibukai. However, they did not vent their anger on Gordon and the Country of Music. Instead, they turned to put pressure on the World Government and the Navy. , I hope the world government will severely punish Shanks, the Shichibukai.

However, the pressure from the Principality of Bellan was ignored by the World Government. On this matter, the World Government and the Navy remained silent, and even used some means to make the Principality of Bellan also remain silent.

The death of Antar Langre failed to create even a single wave. It was as if it had never happened and was soon forgotten by people. However, the nobles who witnessed the scene had another idea after dinner. A new topic of conversation.

In a dark underground library.

The oil lamps on the four walls emitted dim light. Ji Guoyuan stood in the center of the library, raising his head and carefully observing the murals on the dome.

Gordon had already had dinner delivered. Ji Guoyuanyi read a lot of books after entering the library, but he didn't see what he wanted to see at all.

Many of the collections in this library are ancient musical scores.

There are very few records about "demons".

From Jiguoyuanyi's point of view, the amount of information was not even as much as the mural above the dome.

"The Demon King of Song."

"Is there any inevitable connection between Devil Fruit and Demon King?"

"Are demons and the world we live in the same dimension?!"

Ji Guoyuan looked at the mural on the dome and murmured to himself.

In the concert hall.

Wearing a tutu, Uta stepped onto the stage and sang at the top of her voice.

The clear and beautiful children's voice echoed in the business hall. In the audience, Shanks and Gordon sat together, both listening to Uta's beautiful singing attentively.

Singing genius!

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

When the song ended, the audience burst into applause.

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

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

"Boom boom boom——"

In the underground library, a soft sound suddenly sounded in Jiguo Enichi's ears.

Ji Guoyuan, who was looking at the murals, looked slightly condensed when he heard the news.

The soft sound disappeared, and a sharp sound broke through the air suddenly.

With a startled glance, Jiguo Yuanyi noticed that a few pages of yellow paper suddenly appeared from the darkness, and then quickly passed by Jiguo Yuanyi's side, and then disappeared without a trace.
