"So it was the Wake-shroom that caused my death?"
"And... did 80% of the world's population get transferred to Uta's world?"
Uta stood still, murmuring to herself.
Uta's world, or the virtual music world, was indeed a concept she entertained for creating a new era. However, she hadn't planned on moving the entire world's population there.
Thus, Arton's words brought her immense psychological shock.
"But if it's such a way to die, it's not entirely unacceptable."
"At least, I've created the ideal living environment for everyone."
Uta bit her lip, squatting down and hugging her knees.
Despite this reasoning, the fear of death still made her body tremble.
Just as Uta began to ponder such thoughts, Arton's diary shattered her illusion.
[It's a pity, Uta thought the world she created was what everyone hoped for.]
[Unfortunately, for many people, although they are frustrated with the real world, they can't simply move to a virtual one.]
[Once people became aware of Uta's intentions, many claimed they wanted to leave the virtual music world.]
[The Wake-shroom ultimately affected Uta's psyche, leading her to consider forcefully keeping everyone trapped in the virtual music world.]
[Moreover, she indeed took such actions.]
"How could this be, how could I have done such a thing?"
Uta's eyes widened in disbelief as she muttered.
[This is also a side effect of the Wake-shroom, as this substance can indeed make one become frenzied and stubborn.]
[Under such tremendous stress, it's quite normal for Uta to make such a decision.]
"Wake-shroom."
Uta swallowed hard, etching these three words deeply into her mind.
Without a doubt, the future Uta would stay far away from the Wake-shroom.
She did not want to be influenced by the Wake-shroom and forcibly keep the people of the world in Uta's world.
[Of course, Uta's idea was naturally not allowed by the World Government and the Navy.]
[The Five Elders arranged for CP0 agents to investigate.]
[On the Navy's side, the Fleet Admiral even sent Admirals Kizaru and Fujitora to stop Uta.]
[Hina: It seems Hina is seeing things, that man actually mentioned "Admiral Fujitora"?]
[Ain: Captain Hina, you saw correctly, what Arton mentioned was indeed Fujitora!]
[Gion: Interesting, currently there's no one in the Navy known as Fujitora. It seems in the coming years, a new powerful Navy force will rise.]
[Hina: If there's a newcomer among the Navy Admirals, then which one of the two Admirals, Akainu or Aokiji, stepped down from their position?]
[Gion: Perhaps no one stepped down, but it's also possible that one of them became the Fleet Admiral, hehe.]
[Tashigi: So, you're saying that Fleet Admiral Sengoku would actually retire? How is that possible, Sengoku wouldn't retire so soon, would he?]
[Gion: Maybe, a significant event will occur in the future.]
Although Arton merely mentioned that in the future, there would be someone in the Navy Admirals known as "Fujitora," this immediately triggered considerable thought among those with the diary.
This included not just Navy personnel like Gion and Hina but also others like Charlotte Smoothie, Whitey Bay, and Black Maria.
It's not surprising, after all, the matter involves a change in the highest combat power of the Navy.
If there were to be a figure capable of causing the Fleet Admiral and Admirals to change, it would then concern the Yonko-level pirates behind them.
Black Maria: "It seems the future will be quite interesting."
Charlotte Smoothie: "I really want to meet Arton, to have him tell me everything he knows."
Whitey Bay: "I hope that the change in the Navy's highest combat power won't involve my father."
After speaking, Whitey Bay couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Even though she wasn't currently on Whitebeard Pirates' main ship, the Moby Dick, as an old member of the Whitebeard Pirates, she was quite aware of Whitebeard's physical condition.
She understood that Whitebeard's health was no longer what it once was.
The intravenous drips often seen on Whitebeard were proof of that.
If the Navy truly had to change its Fleet Admiral due to a battle with the Whitebeard Pirates, it's likely that the Whitebeard Pirates would also face significant impacts.
"It may be worth making a trip to the East Blue to have a thorough chat with this guy personally."
Whitey Bay pondered with her chin in her hand.
