[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 138 Lord of the Tide

The theater in Tedes is very large, divided into upper, middle and lower floors, and each floor can accommodate many people.The entire theater presents a closed semicircle, with the stage directly in front of it, and there is nothing on it yet.

People began to enter the arena one after another. Because Youxiang and the others had special admission tickets, they directly entered the VIP passage to the third floor with the best view and the fewest seats.As soon as they came in, they were told that they seemed to be the only ones on the third floor, and Captain Skylark specially gave them this floor.This is probably the special benefit of the agent and producer (Matthew).

But this is also good, after all, there is also a middle-aged and elderly navy tour group here.They seem to wrap part of the second layer.If there is no accident, I should not meet them.

"Wow~~ This place is amazing!!" Luffy immediately sat on the railing at the front of the third floor as soon as he came in, he really looked like someone who would sit in that kind of place, "Matthew! Can sing, right? That person just now, is he also a musician?"

"Mr. Skylark is more like a person who discovers musicians." Matthew raised his eyebrows, and he walked to the front and said, "This performance adopts a very special form, and the actors will use music and physical performance to express The content of the script... Anyway, I think you'll like it. It's a performance where the musicians and artists put their all into it."

"Hey~" Luffy seemed very happy, he said, "Maxiu will too! Musical instruments or something!"

"No, I just copied the music played by human musicians." Matthew replied, "I can't create music myself."

"But, Mr. Matthew does know how to play the violin... and others...?" Brooke also interjected. In the previous voyage, Matthew also used his violin.

"That's just copying." Matthew said, "It's like making dishes. Everyone always eats Mr. Sanji's dishes, but even if it is the same dish, depending on the time he makes each time, it will be different. Maybe there will be different tastes? And I... will only create dishes that taste absolutely the same, because I just follow the procedures formulated by humans and execute them exactly."

"Every small difference is the proof of being a human being. And every absolute perfection is the proof of my being an advanced artificial intelligence." Matthew paused slightly, and he said, "Maybe you will say that as long as you can do Just come out. That’s true... But humans can detect it. In terms of cooking, music, and art, no matter how perfect a copy is, someone may detect it..."

"I can't tell the reason, but it seems that something is wrong. This 'wrong' place is the 'difference' between me and everyone."

That tiny 'difference' is the gap between us that will never be 'in sync'.

"And this difference is why I can't create music and art."

"Mr. Matthew..." Brooke said seriously, "I think you can. Don't deceive yourself... No matter who can say this, they can create something they like. Music is not It will choose the performer. Anyone can use it to express."

"...You are a very kind person, Mr. Brook." You are obviously a pirate, so this is not acceptable.Matthew smiled, "But the real problem is...Although I recognize the civilization created by human beings, I can't tolerate using it to express my existence. Sorry."

After finishing speaking, Matthew ran to the back to harass Kidd.Brook watched him leave, and then said, "Mr. Luffy...Mr. Matthew, has he experienced anything bad before?"

"I don't know." Luffy didn't really understand what Matthew said just now, he pouted and said, "When I first met Matthew, he was like this."

"Mr. Lu Fei doesn't even know about it, could it have happened before that..."

"Well~~Probably. But, it's okay!" Luffy laughed, and he said, "Although Matthew is always like this, he is very reliable, Brooke! And I've known him since childhood! Ace, Sabo and Xiangxiang is all! He has always taken care of us, when grandpa is away, when no one cares about our lives...it is Matthew who helped us! So, no matter what, he is our partner!"

That's right.He, he himself is quite contradictory.What happened before must have been desperate and disappointing, but even so, he was still able to maintain his attitude and principles, he must be an amazing person.Brook paused for a while and said, "I see, Mr. Luffy. Our partners really have distinct personalities~"

"Hahahahaha! Isn't this good!"

Luffy laughed happily, Matthew raised the hammer, the captain hid behind the chair... Well, everything is normal.

Youxiang confirmed the situation. She found a comfortable seat and sat down. She didn't know what kind of opera it was, so she looked forward to it!Speaking of which, where did Rossi go... I'm not used to not having him by my side!Still thinking about it, Youxiang felt someone approaching behind her, and she immediately turned around with a smile on her face: "Rosie—huh?"

"Sorry. It's me." Kira raised his hand and waved, and he said, "May I sit next to you?"

"Hmm." What a surprise!It was Mr. Kira... Youxiang nodded, and she said, "Where did Mr. Kira go just now?" She disappeared on the way to the theater.

"Kidd said let me deal with the crew." Kira explained a little bit, and he sat on the right side of Youxiang, and he said, "Actually... there is something I want to tell you, Youxiang ...Although Kidd forbids me to say it, I think I should tell you."

"Did something happen, Mr. Kira?" The atmosphere was so serious!You Xiang asked, "Um... the captain, he was seriously injured before? Everyone... where did they go?"

"It's the new world. Kidd is a guy who can't rest...There were some situations before, although it was indeed serious, but it's okay now. Don't worry," Kira said lightly, "What I want to say is to continue There is incense in the matter of coming down. Did Kidd ask you if you want to come back to the ship? I don’t know if you gave him a clear answer...but I...I hope you don’t come back. "

"..." Youxiang didn't speak immediately, she knew that Kira didn't mean any harm.He is a rare calm and serious person on Kidd's ship.He must have thought of his own.

"I'm sorry to say that to you. I don't hate you..." Kira didn't look at Youxiang, but because he was wearing a mask, Youxiang couldn't see his expression, "But it's because you don't I hate you, that's why I want to say these words to you. The new world is really dangerous, and everyone is stronger than we imagined before. I don't know what Kidd thinks, his thoughts should be very simple... "

"But I don't have the confidence to protect you well. Youxiang. I'm sorry. I...you saw Kidd's injury. At that time, I really couldn't do anything. It was like a miracle that he survived. He He's a rough man, it doesn't matter if he becomes like that, but you are different. I don't want to see you become like that."

"Mr. Kira..."

"Kidd...he wants to be the One Piece. You know that?" Kira turned his head at this moment, and he said, "So he will keep challenging those monsters who are as strong as monsters." Guy. The others don't matter...but you're different. Even I can see that you're different, you're not like us. You don't care about that, you're after things we never imagined .”

"So I can't watch you go where you can't get out anymore. Can you promise me? Youxiang? Don't...don't go back to the boat, don't even go to the straw hat's boat. Don't be a pirate, don't go near this basically The 'world' like a whirlpool. You really...you really don't belong here. No...no."

"It should be... this 'world' doesn't deserve you. Don't come here. Promise me."

Although she couldn't see Kira's eyes, Youxiang could feel his gaze.He is really, really worried... But, but, Mr. Kira.I've been sucked into a darker vortex.Whether it was before or now, I have long been unable to escape from the darkness of this world.

Thank you for thinking of me.Thank you for trying to protect me.

But it was too late.Whoever it is, it's too late - there's no way I can be 'saved'.This curse has penetrated deep into the soul.

"Mr. Kira, I have already told the captain that I will not go back to the ship." Youxiang replied, "But it's not because I'm afraid of the new world and think the captain and Mr. Kira can't protect me. Rather It's because... I still have important things to do, and this thing, because it's too dangerous, too confusing, too complicated, is far less simple and firm than One Piece's dream..."

"I shouldn't use it to bother the captain and Mr. Kira." Youxiang smiled, and she said, "I also want to protect the captain and Mr. Kira. So ~ Mr. Kira promise me too. Let the captain Become the Pirate King? Don't tell Luffy, he will be angry with me."

"..." Kira might have been a little surprised, he looked at You Xiang without saying a word for a long time.It took a few seconds for him to speak, "It's too late, isn't it? You Xiang? It's been too late since we first met, isn't it?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kira. I can't promise you."

"No need to apologize to me. You Xiang. I didn't know it was going to be like this... I... no. Maybe I should have thought. I should be the one to apologize." Kira said, "Then promise me this... …never lose that smile. No matter what happens… don’t.”

"Yeah. This is fine! Although I'm a little shy..."

"Haha... this is good, you are fragrant. This is good." Kira's tone was a little sad and slow, his voice became very soft, and he always felt that he was hesitating, "just...just don't change yourself, okay?"

Youxiang nodded, Kira seemed to be smiling.He stood up: "Okay, before anyone else finds me, I'm going to Kidd's side. See you later."

"Hmm..." You Xiang waved at him, and he left.At this time, someone suddenly approached Youxiang and said, "Hey~~ That person is different from what he looks like, he's quite gentle!"

"Yeah! Rosie!!" Shocked me! !Youxiang pushed his face away, "Where have you gone!!"

"Miss Nami is too scary, so I hid." Rossi said seriously, "I haven't had a chance to talk just now... The cabbage field is really huge and scary!"

"No~~ no!"

"Not yet? Does Mr. Ace or Sabo-kun have to hang someone up and roast someone before the cabbage will admit it?"

"They wouldn't do that kind of thing!"

No, absolutely will.Just won't let you find out.Rossi shook his head. He said, "Forget it, forget it...it's okay if the cabbage doesn't care. After all, no matter how scary people are, they won't do anything to hurt you." Whoever sees you immediately Cowardly.This is probably magic.

"That's right~ Does Rossi want to do something?"

"Well... you can't say that you don't want to at all, right? But when you think that Cabbage will cry and be sad, you will definitely not do it." Rossi actually smiled a little badly, "I'm just kidding, don't show that kind of expression to Cabbage... ...I would never do anything to you. Wouldn't it be rude to you if I just said I didn't want to?"

"Rosie is really cunning." Mingming would be very rude no matter what.Youxiang said, "But since I asked the question, please forgive me! Don't be too complacent!"

"Hahaha... I understand! But, Youxiang." Rossi said suddenly and seriously, "Next time... don't leave me with Miss Nami. I'm so scared..."

"What did Miss Nami do to you..."

"She is really a strong, independent, powerful and beautiful woman." Rossi admired from the bottom of her heart, "But I really can't, I'm not good at dealing with her type. I'm so scared."

I don't know what happened, but thanks for your hard work.Youxiang thought so in her heart, and the lights in the theater were turned off. It should be that the performance was about to start. When the surroundings were suddenly dark and Youxiang was a little uncomfortable, someone suddenly came over and held her hand. Come from behind and pull her up from the seat: "Come on, let's go to the front, Youxiang!"

"Hmm, um!" Youxiang couldn't see clearly, but she wasn't too worried about following Ace.When the eyes had almost adapted to the darkness, the lights on the stage also turned on, and Youxiang was taken by Ace to the railing for the third time, with Luffy sitting on the railing beside him.At this moment, Luffy turned his head and showed a big smile.

Youxiang saw this smiling face, and then saw the smile of Sabo on the other side of Luffy, she also laughed: "Luffy, do you want some candy?"

"I want to eat~~" It is impossible for Luffy to say no.

"Here's the candy~" Youxiang took out the candy from his pocket, but there was only one candy, "Don't tell Ace and Sabo!"

"Ace and Sabo are watching from the side, it's delicious!" Ace said immediately, "It's too obvious that you are biased!"

Youxiang didn't say anything, just smiled at him, and Ace couldn't help showing a slightly confused smile, then raised his hand and poked her cheek.At this time, the curtain of the stage was drawn and the lights were turned off again. Everyone in the venue knew that the performance was about to start and stopped talking.

As Matthew said before, this is a performance told by music, so there are no side voices, no introductions by actors, and the music plays directly.With the help of a ring-shaped venue, the music moves from far to near, as if something is approaching. As the sound stretches to the front, the stage lights are turned on, the curtain is opened, and a pirate ship appears in the sea 'on-

The music began to become cheerful and compact, the sound of the violin sounded, and the actors on the stage began to perform dances and movements to perform pirates sailing on the sea and having a banquet. After a burst of carnival, the music became lingering and melodious, as the ships sailed Arriving at the territory of the sea monster, the beautiful sea monster floated up from the water to the rock and sang a beautiful song.

I didn't realize before that the half of the stage near the inside turned out to be a huge pool, and the siren looked like it was played by a mermaid!The beautiful Miss Mermaid is sitting on the reef and singing, her big shiny tail splashes the water from time to time, not only the 'Pirate', even the audience will be attracted by her 'charming singing voice'.

Accompanied by this song, another sea monster climbed onto the side of the pirate ship, seducing the pirates who were intoxicated in the singing, and the music began to become cruel and gloomy, because the pirates were about to die because of the temptation of the sea monster. The whole army was wiped out, and at this moment, the music changed again, and the captain appeared!

Surprisingly, the captain of the pirate ship is a woman. She has long fiery red hair and a determined face that is unmatched by anyone. She tries to wake up the crew. The music becomes urgent and urgent, and the crew They started to argue with the captain, the singing of the sirens became more seductive and beautiful, and everyone fell into madness——

Only the captain was fighting alone, she made the crew sober, and wanted to leave this tempting sea area, but who knows, the master of the ocean rose from the bottom of the sea holding a trident, and he summoned a huge sea monster, a sea monster with countless tentacles. The monster seized the pirate ship, the captain began to lead the crew to fight the sea monster, and the music became passionate and fast again!

In the end, the pirates won, and their ship was far away from the temptation of the sea monster. As if it was the last struggle, the sea monster sang a melodious song again. However, the pirate ship has sailed to the sea of ​​freedom. The voice sounded again...

There is no actor speaking in the whole performance, and of course there is no narration or commentary. All the plots are expressed by music and the movements of the actors. Even the siren song has no lyrics, but is replaced by beautiful harmony.The lighting and sound effects also match the plot one after another, and even when the sea monster appeared on the stage, even the walls and ceiling of the narration in the auditorium were cast with shadows!

When the performance ended, the audience erupted in applause and cheers, and it seemed that the Canglan Opera Company lived up to its reputation.

"Is this the show you planned?" Kidd asked Matthew beside him in disbelief.

"Of course not. I can't create such a work full of 'human color'." Matthew raised his eyebrows, he said, "I copied it. Where I stayed before, there are a lot of operas and plays that can give I copied it. Most of them are classic masterpieces created by the most outstanding and greatest creators in human history. But here, those people never existed at all, so no one will sue me. Isn’t it just right?”

"You are really... bad." Worse than a pirate.

"But it works. Only humans can empathize with humans. Those creators are experts in expressing this empathy through art. As a result, the Canglan Opera Troupe that performed it can quickly become a first-class star—— This is also expressing human characteristics." Matthew said, "This is not a sin. God will forgive me."

"You don't believe in the existence of God at all, do you?"

"Of course. Otherwise."

"bad."

"Thank you for the compliment."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Matthew's performance copied "Master of Tides" by American modern violinist and performance artist Lindsey Stirling. Pure music tells an impassioned story of adventure at sea, highly recommend everyone to check it out!Only a few minutes!But really awesome! !All to see!must see! ! !

Master of Tides means the master of tides. The theme of this song is also an adventure on the sea. Is the real master of tides the sea god holding a trident in the sea, or the adventurer who rides the waves on a boat and sails towards his dream?This also fits the story of One Piece very well.

Next, the Canglan Opera Troupe will also perform in Dressrosa. What kind of programs will they perform there? !Cang Cang also selected tracks that are very suitable for Dressrosa's style! (This is not taking advantage of Amway, really not)
