"Hm... Yes that is quite true. Making others happy is great until youre the one that's unhappy. I'm glad my sings can make people happy but it only hides the sad truth if my past"
Though Denjiro's expression still spoke of worry, he shook his head, gaze lowered. "Isn't that just the truth. Persevering through hardship is the most difficult challenge of them all.
Making others happy is almost as good as the real thing, isn't it?"
" I believe so but it forged me into who I am now. My songs get heard worldwide and that makes me happy"
Her past may have been horrible but she had all the truth she needed.
"I take it you were quite young when it happened...? That is terrible, I'm so sorry, Lady Uta.
A young child should not have to bear the pain of such a tragedy, but neither should it have to come to hate the one it loves..." Denjiro sighed. Even if he had the means to help, +
To the world. But now that she has control she's travelled around the seas.
"Since then tot musica has been sealed away. From where he truly came from I have no clue. His musical sheet has since been ripped up and put in the elegia archives"
"Ah... Well from the sing sing fruit. It is called tot musica and I released it without knowing that I did. That was back then before I understood anything about my devil fruit"
Before then she hadn't been trained to use her fruit. She just loved singing and bringing joy+
Well, to her she had believed for a long time shanks abandoned her.
"I grew up on elegia. Learned music there. Burned it down without realizing I did and thought shanks did it so I ended up hating him for no reason. He meant well I suppose"
"That is phenomenal! This shall go straight into our history books!
Alright, first off, where did you all grow up? And to what kind of place did Sir Shanks bring you?" In asking such, he pondered; it couldn't have been easy on either of them to be separated.
"Fufu~ of course I can answer all your questions. I always have time for that"
She could never say no. She enjoyed answering anyone's questions no matter what they were
"Shanks raised me. Luffy is my childhood friend that I was partially raised with "
"Hold on a second- Shanks? You mean the emperor Shanks, red-haired Shanks? Lady Uta, you grew up around such significant historical figures!?" Already, a fire burned in Denjiro, fists clutched in excitement at what this could entail.
"I have so many questions. +
Devil fruit to sing across the seas but this time nowadays she never activates her fruit. Shes afraid of letting tot musica out again and burning down another village.
" i sure do. I grew up with him for a while before shanks put me on an island to protect me "
She always loved the challenges Luffy would give her. Since then shes loved any kind of challenge
"I bet your village would love to hear my songs. "
Normally she would use her++
"Perhaps." Denjiro chuckled. "Flames burn the brightest when stoked.
Ah--! You know Sir Luffy? That would be a splendid way to introduce you to my people. They can be a little squeamish when it comes to new things."
"Is that a challenge? Because I could totally win. I always beat Luffy in his challenges. "
A soft chuckle. She did love playing games and giving people joy.
"I'm sure I could bring quite a lot of joy to your people then. They sound amazing"
"Pleased to meet you, Lady Uta." He bowed, a hand to his heart.
"My name is Denjiro, samurai of his lordship Kozuki Momonosuke. I'm sure my people would love to get to know you as well! But I must warn you; for the title of the greatest isn't easily earned~"
This would be the first time she's been near wano. She was never allowed to leave her island til lately.
"Fuf. Well, perfect! I'm uta the biggest songbird around the seas. "
The world surely knows her. A voice so perfect that it gives people joy.
"Id be happy to perform"
"I would be happy to keep an eye out for scoundrels that attempt to disturb your peace, my Lady.
That said, you are a perfomer? That's lovely, I haven't visited a good show in a long time." Mostly because Orochi tended to execute all those with a sense of humor.
"Youd be surprised how many pirates come after me during my concerts"
She shrugged. She'd been used to it by now.
"Well.. If you aren't gonna harm me then you're welcome to stay"
"Fan?" The samurai repeated curiously. "Perhaps by default, yes. Though I cannot say the sight of you rings any bells.
More importantly, who would think to harm such a lovely girl as yourself?"
@NappingBorzoi
"Hm... Another fan perhaps? Or are you like the others and wish to harm me? "
She tilted her head giving him that soft yet determined look.
