Chapter 18 Let me show you what the strongest musician is
……

Looking at Uta who was talking with Luffy, Dick fell into deep thought.

Uta's ability is extremely important for the evolution of the Flame-Flame Fruit.

When Uta was at its peak, it pulled 70% of the world's population into the Uta space.

If this were to brainwash the Flame-Flame Fruit, then the Flame-Flame Fruit would evolve to an incredible level in an instant.

In other words, even if Dick worked hard all his life, he might not be able to influence as many people as Uta.

Dick rubbed his chin.

We must find a way to establish a good relationship with Uta, and it would be best if we could trick Uta into joining us.

How to do it?

Dick rolled his eyes.

Humming the melody of the song.

Just kidding, with so many high-quality songs on Blue Star, Dick doesn’t believe that he can’t attract Uta.

“Hehehe, hehehe, hehehe…”

Uta, who was competing with Luffy in eating, kept stuffing food into his mouth when suddenly a strange and beautiful melody came to his ears.

Uta was stunned for a moment.

I turned my head quickly and found Dick at once.

"Ahahaha, I win." Luffy shouted.

It’s not easy, this is his first win recently.

"Hahaha," Luffy laughed.

"Hey, hey, be careful."

The red-haired man screamed and quickly picked up Uta to avoid the charge of the bison behind him.

"How's it going Uta?"

Uta didn't care at all. She turned over and jumped out of the red-haired man's arms and ran straight to Dick.

"Dick, what's that song you're humming?"

"Oh, that's just a song I made up on my own," Dick said without blushing.

"Just random thoughts." Uta froze.

You know, Uta loves music the most, and everyone who knows her musical talent praises her.

Especially with the existence of the Song Song Fruit.

Anyone who hears Uta's singing, no matter how young she is, finds it extremely pleasant.

And then, Uta has not produced a song yet.

No, not even a thought.

Just want to sing.

"Well, well, can you teach me?" Uta was embarrassed, and her fair face turned red.

"sure."

Dick said.

Then, just hum.

The song title is "We Are!", the theme song of the One Piece animation.

Dick was very familiar with it.

Of course, because of his poor foreign language skills, he only knows the melody but not the singing.

The redhead looked at Dick in surprise.

The redhead had been surprised far too many times lately.

Definitely the most surprising time for redheads.

In Red Hair's opinion, this melody is almost as popular as "Binx's Wine", the most sung song on the sea.

"Binx's Wine", what level of music is that?

It is the most popular, best-sung and most loved song among pirates in decades.

Does Dick have talent as a musician?

I can't think of it.

Uta's eyes were excited.

This melody, this feeling, this sound, this is the music she expects.

Benck Punch opened his mouth in surprise. Mengshida dropped the banana in his hand.

One man and one monkey, they are musicians in the Red Hair Band.

Or a group of musicians.

"Did you do this?"

"Of course. Have you heard it anywhere else?"

That's not the case. Benck Punch shook his head subconsciously, and then thought about the songs he made and compared them with those made by Dick.

What kind of shit music is that.

"Is there a tune? And lyrics?"

"No, I can't compose music. I just hum along when inspiration strikes."

Can't compose music.

Bunker Punch was stunned.

It turns out that Dick is a complete layman.

"In addition to 'We Are!', I also made a few melodies," Dick hummed some more music.

"Believe", "Towards the Sunshine", "Bon voyage!"

All of them are the theme songs of One Piece animation.

Bunker Punch was a complete mess.

One song could be considered a coincidence, but four songs in a row, this definitely cannot be called a coincidence, but a manifestation of strength.

So the question is, a layman, when inspired, can create four melodies at a time, which he would never be able to create in his entire life. What does that mean to his musical talent?
What am I as a musician?
Trash? Or a clown?
Especially the song "We Are!", which is a perfect match for the Red Hair Pirates. When the members of the Red Hair Pirates heard it, they felt that it was tailor-made for them.

Benck Punch knew he would never be able to do it.

How could it not fit?

In a certain animation with dozens of levels, as soon as the song "We Are!" starts playing, the Red Hair Pirates appear at the beginning of the animation, which is of course a perfect match.

Dick hasn't released the theme song "New Era" from the movie Red-Haired Diva yet, otherwise it would be a killer move.

Benk Punch stammered, his body and mind were severely hurt, and he fell into self-doubt. The monkey Mengshida also stopped eating, whimpered, and curled up in Benk Punch's arms.

"Dick, join me and be my partner." The red-haired man said excitedly, his eyes shining.

Just look at that song "We Are!", who dares to say that Dick is not suitable for the Red Hair Pirates?
"That's right, join the Red Hair Pirates," Ben Beckman said, "Let Punch help you, and you will be the musician of the pirate group in the future."

Bunker Punch sobbed and covered his face.

"I refuse." Dick shook his head.

He wants to be the boss.

"Okay," the redhead said in great disappointment.

Drinking wine gloomily.

"You are so awesome." Uta's eyes were shining, her face was red, and her body was shaking.

Music, beautiful music.

"It's just so-so." Dick spread his hands nonchalantly.

"All I can do is hum some melodies and write down my inspirations. I can't even compose music."

"That's already pretty impressive. Unlike me, I only thought about singing and never thought about writing songs." Uta kicked the stone lightly with her toes.

"So, lovely and beautiful Miss Uta, can I ask you for a favor?" Dick said seriously.

"What's the deal?"

"I can't compose music or write lyrics, so I would like you to help me write lyrics and compose music, and complete these songs together."

"Really?" Uta asked in surprise.

Then there is a lack of confidence.

"Can I? I haven't learned it."

At this moment, Uta hated herself extremely for never having thought of learning to compose music or write lyrics before.

Are you still a musician?
This is a serious dereliction of duty.

"I don't have time to write lyrics or compose music. I believe you. I can see that you love music."

"Uta, let's play." Luffy shouted.

Uta: ε=(o'ω')ノ

What's your business here?

"Go away, Luffy, don't bother me." Uta waved his fists, wishing he could beat Luffy up.

Luffy:? ? ?
Uta adjusted her hair and held her head high.

"Since you said so, I will mercifully agree to your request."

"It's a deal." Dick said evilly, bah, he actually stretched out his finger.

"Okay, let's make a promise and stick to it for a hundred years."

Immediately, Uta went to see Benck Punch and the Zweissda duo to learn composition.

But...

Benk Punch looked at the music score in his hand like a madman, rubbing his hair with red eyes. By the way, it seemed that Benk had no hair; Mengshida had messy hair and yelled from time to time.

"Ahhh, this is so annoying, why can't I do it?" Bunker Punch yelled.

"Crazy, crazy." Uta muttered to himself.
