The Fool stretched out her finger, just like a priest in a church, pointing at the lost lamb.
Just as a look of emotion appeared on people's faces, the melody suddenly changed.
The accompaniment faded away, leaving only the Fool's ethereal and sacred chanting.
After the Fool sang two lines, his voice took on a hint of defiance.
In this barely perceptible ripple, the melody reappeared, building the emotions to a climax.
For a moment, people seemed to see a young girl with her eyes closed, holding a flag high, bravely advancing towards an unknown enemy.
No one can run away forever. Raise your flag, bid farewell to the self that cowers in the corner. Step over the door called hardship, tear off the threads that bind you, and emerge from your cocoon.
The melody abruptly ends, a final moment of exhilaration and growth.
"Live for this moment."
The accompaniment disappeared again, and the Fool let out a clear, a cappella chant.
Chapter 144 Taming the Empress (Thanks to Romanov for the panties donation)
It sounds so good!
It sounds so good!
Morgans was so immersed in the heavenly singing that he couldn't find the words to express his joy.
He reached out and snatched the Den Den Mushi from the clumsy photographer, then spun around to record the expressions of the entire audience.
Almost all of them were the same: loss of control, shock, and emotion, which ultimately blended into an incredibly complex expression.
Especially the final line sung with a sense of relief, "Just live for this moment."
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The colors of life are clearly visible to people, shining brightly and movingly.
Many sentimental noblewomen in the audience sobbed and cried. Although they rarely experienced hardship in their lives, they still cried uncontrollably.
Tears welled up in the lark's eyes, but the smile on her face was unbelievably beautiful.
Peacock was stunned for a long time, but when she thought about being excluded by the Deep Sea Fleet, her face became angry and she couldn't help but touch the thin whip tucked at her waist.
Hearing the final, a cappella rendition that broke free of the prison made He stand up instantly.
Tina chewed on her Pocky, but instead felt a little sad, tears welling up in her eyes.
While everyone else was praising her younger sister, she was the only one who thought about her sister's past experiences in the lab. That girl was clearly the one who had the worst time, but she still smiled and encouraged others.
For a moment, she felt a heart-wrenching pain. She looked up, as if she could see through the dazzling and splendid scene the ghost shark being pressed into the laboratory for dissection and study, suffering in pain and loneliness.
Kuzan rested his head on his hands, staring blankly at the audience's frenzied shouts. Was he being too lazy? Had he already stopped?
Sakazuki's hawks appear energetic and actively involved in the forefront of the conflict.
But is the dove faction I belong to too conservative? Are they becoming like the rare fish faction?
What do you advocate?
Because he does not contend, no one in the world can contend with him.
Upon hearing this song, it's as if Ghost Shark slapped himself across the face, his voice booming like a great bell: In this era of great strife, factional infighting is frequent; the strong become strong, the weak... perish!
Are doves the same as conservatives?
Can the navy be a conservative force?
What kind of mess is this military with, all so lazy and disorganized?
Social resources are limited; the support of others is crucial.
Even then, it has to be fought for; only the weak sit and wait to be allocated!
Kuzan's eyes lit up instantly as he pondered whether it was time to change the plaque of "Lazy Justice".
Admiral Aokiji has woken up!
In the dressing room, Hancock sat on Salome, biting her nails expressionlessly, staring blankly at the flashing neon lights on the stage, her stomach churning with acid reflux.
She had always thought of herself as an insurmountable mountain in the eyes of the world, but when she turned around, she saw a ghost shark that looked like an upside-down mountain. Her pride was defeated one by one, and she was so upset that she couldn't speak.
The second oldest of the three sisters, Sandasonia, glanced at it and immediately understood that this meant her older sister was in an extremely bad mood.
But what could be done? The second son sighed helplessly.
"The lyrics, melody, and vocal quality are almost all amazingly perfect."
BBB's two tufts of white hair fluttered in the wind. He shook his head as if in disbelief, culminating in a long, drawn-out sigh: "Full of gloom!"
But Ghost Shark doesn't think so. He thinks the song is good and he sang it well, but it didn't reach the limits of the music.
Of course, those amazing songs will definitely be saved for the finals.
The results of the competition are in: Lovers vs. Fool, with an estimated vote count of 32,000 to 40,000.
Today's outcome—the Fool's victory!
Silver fireworks swirled and fell, and on the dappled stage, the defeated Hancock coldly stepped onto the stage.
She was also very decisive, and without waiting for the host to remind her, she readily took off her mask.
pat!
As the masks and robes fell to the ground, the audience below the stage instantly lit up with hearts, and the imperial engine roared to life.
Formerly known as the world's most beautiful woman, Boa Hancock!
Shedding her disguise, she resembled a python with its head held high. The high-slit cheongsam with its snake-scale-like cuffs exuded nobility and elegance, embroidered with platinum thread. The opening extended from her ankles to her waist, revealing glimpses of her alluring white figure.
Hancock, as if flicking her tongue, looked down upon the world with unparalleled arrogance.
"You rude people, who gave you permission to look directly at me?" Boundless domineering aura surged forth like a tidal wave.
In an instant, many people broke out in a cold sweat and quickly looked away.
I only knew that this woman was incredibly beautiful, but I forgot that she was also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
The Empress snorted coldly and strode away with an air of elegance.
But as they passed by the Fool, something unexpected happened that caught everyone off guard.
call out!
Many high-ranking naval officers stood up!
Then Hancock suddenly sprang up and kicked out, the dark red aura of her power almost stealing away all other colors.
Attack on the Navy?
An idea popped into the minds of the higher-ups.
The extremely oppressive airflow caused the entire stadium to tremble.
The audience was immediately horrified.
The ghost shark's eyes flashed with a dangerous light as it prepared to wrap itself in Armament Haki to block the attack, but it suddenly stopped just 0.1 centimeters from the girl's face when the kicking attack was about to strike.
Everyone, including Specter, was stunned.
What are you doing?
Should we fight or not?
pat.
The violent air currents arrived slowly, ruffling the Fool's veil and blowing off his mask.
oh! ! !
It's Navy Captain Ghost Shark!
Her beauty is in no way inferior to Hancock's!
"My goodness, what kind of woman wouldn't be captivated by such beauty?"
A pink-haired noblewoman was instantly captivated, saying, "All I want to do now is spread the word and tell all the women in the world that the world's beauty has been elevated because of him."
Her aristocratic father quickly covered his daughter's mouth, but bold words still escaped through his fingers.
"She can't sing for you, she can only sing for me, she's mine! You, none of you are allowed to listen! Ugh... riddled with holes..."
The audience erupted in cheers, three red hearts popped out of their eyes and chests, and the Emperor Engine nearly burned out.
Hancock, mimicry is despicable and ruthless!
One world-class beauty is already overwhelming, if another one comes along, my kidneys will completely fail!
"It's not like just anyone can defeat me." Hancock stared intently into Specter's eyes, gritting her teeth as she spoke each word clearly.
Seemingly trying to share the attention, or perhaps trying to comfort herself, Ghost Shark immediately understood what the other meant.
It's roughly equivalent to Kaido's line: "Little girl, I acknowledge you as my opponent."
Tsk, so much drama from a woman who's a loser.
But speaking of which, at the moment she kicked someone, I think I saw pink panties with a strawberry pattern?
The contrast was, for a moment, rather endearing.
Just thinking about it made Ghost Shark lose his desire to make a move; it was just... too interesting!
We've already agreed to have a fight, so there's no rush.
"Quick, capture this moment!"
Morgans, unable to wait any longer, snatched the photographer's Den Den Mushi (snail phone) and frantically pressed the shutter button, snapping away non-stop.
How rare! The scene of two emperors on the throne.
He'd already come up with a title: "A Stage Divided in Two, Beauty Divided in Two!"
"Wait for me on Nandumar Island tonight."
Ghost Shark quietly named a remote island in the distance. If it were a fight, that would be the best place. It wouldn't disturb the locals or affect anyone else.
"Okay." Hancock nodded crisply and then disappeared.
Watching the other's departing figure, Ghost Shark was overwhelmed with emotion.
Hancock is such a wonderful person with a childlike heart, so let's let her grow tonight!
Soon, the match ended, and the audience, still wanting more, headed towards the exit.
Tonight's game was absolutely fantastic.
First comes the world's yandere little song, then the highly anticipated showdown between the Empress and Specter.
But this only makes people more and more curious, ghosts.
Who will Colonel Shark's opponent be in the final?
On the other side, Ghost Shark leisurely walked out of the Dome Stadium, only to find Crane waiting for him at the entrance with several elite lieutenant generals.
"Grandma Crane." Ghost Shark gave Crane a big hug.
"You've really worked hard." Crane patted the girl's shoulder with a kind smile that even his granddaughter, Peacock, envied.
“Sister Tina.” Ghost Shark also stepped forward to hug her.
Tina reached out to meet her, and the two embraced. Blood flowed merrily through their veins, fingertips twirled in their long hair, and hearts pounded. The warmth of their embrace was palpable, and their steady breaths echoed in each other's ears.
"You've worked hard." Tina patted Ghost Shark on the back. She had a lot to say, but only these two words came out.
it is more than words.
As the hug ended, Ghost Shark suddenly noticed an eyepatch-wearing man also reaching out his hands.
"Get lost!" the girl said succinctly.
"Oh dear~ That's really too much, how dare they insult their superior."
Kuzan feigned annoyance, but upon seeing Crane's glance, he burst into laughter.
Holy crap, how did this guy become a radiant, sunny ice bird?
The ghost shark cast a questioning glance at the crane.
He shook his head and smiled helplessly, "After listening to your song, Kuzan's whole demeanor has changed. I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing..."
