One Piece: I'm Destined to Be the Son-in-Law King!-Chapter 220: The Five Elders’ Decision!

In East Blue, the Karnell Kingdom was in chaos.

The kingdom was tearing itself apart, a brutal revolution underway. Soldiers and rebels fell daily, their lives wasted in the relentless fighting.

Suddenly, a children's choir echoed through the war-torn land, singing, "We are the world."

The innocent voices pierced the hearts of the battle-hardened warriors. They paused in their brutal work, deeply moved by the simple truth.

Smoke filled the air, and the town lay in ruins. Children cried for parents they would never see again. Overwhelmed, the warriors dropped their weapons, falling to their knees in anguish, tears staining the ground.

"What... what are we doing?" one cried out.

This was their home, their country. They were all citizens, yet they were slaughtering each other.

They couldn't understand it anymore. After hearing Uta's song--no, after hearing the children's voices--they couldn't bring themselves to fight. They refused to raise their blades against their own people.

The Kingdom Army's fighting spirit vanished.

The rebels, too, lost their desire to fight.

That night, Betty, a leader in the Revolutionary Army, sought out the Kingdom Army's commander. Looking at her own tired fighters, she hesitated to use her Devil Fruit powers to force them to continue. I can't make them fight when they clearly don't want to.

"Let's talk," she proposed.

The next morning, a white flag fluttered above the Kingdom Army's camp.

The bloody conflict in the Karnell Kingdom was over.

Similar scenes played out across the globe. Soldiers in warring nations felt a growing desire for peace, all thanks to the power of the Sing-Sing Fruit.

Somewhere in the East Blue, the Revolutionary Army's flagship, the Winter Grima, sailed steadily.

Inside the ship's conference room, Information Minister Kildeo was bursting with excitement.

"Dragon!" he exclaimed.

"Victory reports are flooding in! Karnell Kingdom in East Blue, the Suka Kingdom in West Blue, the Lop Nur Kingdom in South Blue... multiple countries!"

"We've won!"

In just a few days, revolutions had succeeded in several countries, and peaceful talks were underway in many more. This was far beyond the Revolutionary Army's wildest dreams.

"Ah, I see," Dragon murmured, staring at a newspaper.

The paper detailed Uta's concert, calling the final grand performance the "Song of Peace."

It was this song that had sparked the anti-war movement, making the revolutions so successful.

Dragon had never imagined that a song could cause such a turning point while he was so focused on the revolution.

He had heard that song himself.

He could feel the immense power it held.

And Red Hair had made it all possible.

Roya... are you the light of the revolution? Dragon wondered.

The impact of the Song of Peace was only beginning.

---

In the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, the meeting of the fifty Kings was underway, lasting the usual week.

Inside a large hall, the Kings watched a recording of Uta's concert, their eyes glued to the final performance.

"That song is so powerful!" exclaimed King Cobra of Alabasta, among many others who longed for peace.

The song's message resonated with their deepest desires.

However, some Kings found it incredibly irritating.

Wapol slammed his fist on the table, scowling. "This is awful! We're holding a World Conference, why do we have to listen to this trash!"

"Wapol, you jerk!" several Kings snapped, glaring at him.

In the Power lobby of Pangea Castle, the Five Elders also watched the concert recording, their faces grim.

"Uta's song holds terrifying power!" one declared.

"If I'm not mistaken, she must have eaten the Sing-Sing Fruit!" another added.

"We cannot allow her to act unchecked!"

Multiple kingdoms had successfully revolted through peace talks and surrenders.

This was no coincidence!

It had all started after this "Song of Peace" spread.

Ordinary singing couldn't achieve this, couldn't make soldiers lay down their weapons.

Most frighteningly, even they had been affected by Uta's singing, their emotions shifting as they listened to her other songs.

The Five Elders could only attribute it to the power of a Devil Fruit.

Saint Saturn spoke, his voice cold, "We must obtain Uta. If her power falls into the hands of the Revolutionary Army, it will shake the entire world!"

"Agreed!" the other four Elders responded, their eyes hardening.

Uta had already caused them significant trouble with her music, leading to countries falling to the rebels.

Out of the 170-plus member states, only a few could afford to pay the Celestial Tribute themselves. Most relied on plundering resources from non-aligned nations to maintain their status.

Oppression meant stability!

But Uta's song had disrupted the balance.

If countries tired of war and stopped plundering resources, how could they maintain their prosperity?

A failing kingdom couldn't pay the Celestial Tribute, leading to its removal from the World Government's rule, upsetting the balance between member and non-aligned states.

There were over three hundred countries in the world, half of them member states. This proportion was carefully controlled.

The World Government's prosperity was built on the exploitation of the other half.

"The problem is Black Hair!" one Elder pointed out.

"He possesses the power of an Admiral!"

Black Hair was protecting Uta. Given his attitude towards Kaido's daughter, he wouldn't let her go easily.

Admirals and Warlords were the only forces capable of facing Black Hair, but he was a Marine, and they didn't want to lose such a valuable asset.

Therefore, seizing Uta couldn't be done openly. Not only Black Hair, but Uta herself had a massive influence, and a misstep could damage the World Government's reputation.

Saturn's gaze turned icy.

"Send CP!"

"We lost three top Agents to Doflamingo last time. Is it wise to send CP against Black Hair again?"

"It doesn't matter. This time, we aren't trying to stop Black Hair; we don't need a direct confrontation. If we can't get Uta, then assassinate her!"

CP was an intelligence agency, skilled in assassination. Killing Uta was easier than dealing with Red Hair.

"Just in case, send that agent too!"

"The CP0 Captain!"

"He has the power to defeat Black Hair!"

"For the stability of the world, we cannot stand by!"

"Good!"

In the New World, in the giant country of Elbaf, the Red Hair Pirates gathered, arms around each other, singing along to Uta's song. They were all incredibly happy.

The little girl from their past had grown up healthy and strong.

"Chief, let's go see Uta's concert!" one shouted.

"Idiot, Uta is still in East Blue!" Shanks replied, laughing as he walked to the window, wine in hand, and gazed towards the East Blue.

"Don't be impatient. We'll meet again!"
