"Who is it?"
Kong Tai did not answer.
He responded to Uta's question with his actions.
In the two worlds, which were two sides of the same coin, his right hand and left hand, from Kong Tai's perspective, were separated by a phantom parallel world.
If it were ordinary strength, even Whitebeard would have come, no, even if Red-Haired and Whitebeard had both come, if all the powerhouses in the world had come, they would not have been able to break through the void of reality and connect to Uta's virtual world.
But unfortunately, Uta's ability, which was arguably invincible in this world to a certain extent, seemed insignificant in front of Kong Tai.
In the azure blue pupils of the two Kong Tais in the two worlds, nebulae began to spin simultaneously.
A special fluctuation, not belonging to either world, suddenly spread outwards in wave-like patterns from Kong Tai's hand.
As the wave-like patterns spread, it was as if space was being pulled and gradually drew closer. Then, the void fluctuations of the two worlds actually connected, finally forming a swirling vortex of void.
"No, no, impossible..."
The two Utas, though spiritually connected, had never seen each other face to face. But now,
They actually saw each other for the first time through Kong Tai's ability.
Although somewhat distorted, Uta could clearly feel the unique aura of the two worlds.
Of course, she not only saw Uta from the outside, but also saw Kong Tai, and Guina and the others in Uta's world, who had been standing behind Kong Tai, either calm, curious, or astonished since entering Uta's world.
"Who am I?"
Retracting his hands, the Kong Tais of both worlds looked at their respective Utas, their azure blue pupils fixed on Uta.
In a daze, Uta saw a pair of azure blue pupils, azure blue pupils adorned with nebulae in their depths.
At this moment, her vision was abruptly pulled closer, the azure blue pupils enlarging, enlarging, and enlarging.
When her vision cleared again, she found herself in a starry expanse where space stretched infinitely in all directions.
And at an infinite distance below her feet, two stellar seas resembling the Milky Way, composed of azure blue nebulae, were slowly rotating.
If one were to describe what Uta saw at that moment, it would be something more shocking, more vast, and that made her feel a sense of powerlessness and insignificance more than her own Uta world.
"Who am I?"
Silently, Kong Tai's figure appeared before Uta.
"Do you know who I am now?"
"God..."
Uta stared at Kong Tai, at the nebulae in his eyes that were identical to this starry sky, and asked with a bitter tone, "Are you truly a god?"
The shock in her heart could only be described with this word for the young man before her.
Otherwise, she truly did not know what kind of existence possessed such power.
She had been to sea before.
She had experienced all sorts of adventures with Shanks. Of course, the sea was vast, and there were many pirates. Even though she was young, she had experienced battles.
And after being abandoned by Shanks in Elegia, although she was busy learning and making music every day, this place was in the New World. Although not many, over the years, enough pirates had come here.
These pirates were sometimes ferocious, sometimes arrogant, sometimes cautious...
Despite their differing personalities, they all had one thing in common: greed and cruelty.
She had certainly shown no mercy to these pirates, pulling them all into her Uta world, and killing them all without exception.
In her mind, no one in this world could be immune to her voice, because even Shanks, when she had obtained her Devil Fruit and was still young, could be easily pulled into her Uta world by her.
Although Shanks was not yet one of the Four Emperors who ruled the New World with his might, he was already a world-renowned pirate.
Such a powerful individual, even if he only wished to be pulled into her Uta world, could still explain the power of the Uta Uta no Mi.
Therefore, from the very beginning, she had not taken Kong Tai and the others seriously. Although she did not sense greed from Kong Tai and the others, pirates were pirates.
As long as they were pirates, they were existences that deserved to die in her eyes.
However, now...
Looking at the silver-haired youth before her, Uta knew that she had misjudged this time.
This group of pirates was clearly not ordinary, small-time pirates. Especially the one before her, such unprecedented and unseen power, far surpassing Shanks, made her unable to find any words to describe it.
Thus, all she could say was to describe him with the word "god" from mythology, a word that transcended this world.
"God..."
Upon hearing this, Kong Tai first nodded, then shook his head. "To describe me with the understanding of this world, I can indeed be considered a god. However, I believe I am human, a true human, because I do not wish to be a high and mighty god devoid of emotion."
Saying this, Kong Tai looked at Uta and smiled for the first time. "Uta, your name is Uta, right?"
"How do you know my name?"
Uta was first confused, then seemed to remember something. She suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with expectation as she looked at Kong Tai, her voice carrying a rare urgency since meeting Kong Tai and his group. "Did Shanks mention me to you?"
"Did he?"
As if afraid Kong Tai hadn't heard clearly, she asked again.
"Did Shanks mention me to you?"
In truth, the girl's heart was complex. She both resented her adoptive father Shanks for abandoning her and missed him dearly.
Initially, the girl was unwilling and did not believe that Shanks would have slaughtered Elegia and abandoned her.
But the observable facts and the surrounding ruins served as a reminder that besides Shanks, who else could have done this?
Even though she knew the character of Shanks and his crew, and knew they were incapable of such an act, facts were facts, and her wishes could not change them.
Thus, Uta gradually accepted this reality, remained in Elegia, and began learning the music she had always dreamed of with Gordon.
Facing the girl's anticipation, a hint of hesitation flickered deep in Kong Tai's eyes.
He hesitated whether to give the girl hope.
However, this hesitation was quickly erased by himself.
The truth might be cruel, but gaining hope only to lose it would be even more so.
Strictly speaking, they were currently in an adversarial relationship.
However, Kong Tai's heart could not remain cold when facing Uta.
Overall, Uta was an ordinary person who grew up wrapped in hatred. Although she had seen the vastness of the world with Red-Haired when she was young, she had also witnessed the cruelty of the world.
Therefore, she understood the harm pirates brought to the world even more.
Just like most ordinary people in this world, Uta attacked them merely out of hatred for pirates.
It's not that most ordinary people don't attack pirates, but rather they lack the strength to do so.
If they had the strength, their cruelty towards pirates would undoubtedly be more ferocious and brutal than that of the Marines.
