For Uta, a top-tier Ability User, her powers when activated aren't just as simple as affecting an entire island. Through Radio Snails and broadcasts, merely singing a few syllables can plunge even the Radio Snail into hypnosis.
And through the Radio Snails, those listening from around the world similarly enter this Song Song World, continually spreading further.
As for those receivers and broadcasts, they can't see the visuals, just need to sing along. She enjoys singing, synchronizing with the Spiritual World to sing a few songs that can still lead people into her mental ocean.
Once everyone in the world enters the Spiritual World, her dreams of peace and happiness can be realized.
"I know the skill of stepping over ants without crushing them."
Sage extended a finger, "Don't get it wrong, it's I who am giving you the opportunity to summon Tot Musica. If you don't take this chance, then from now on, you won't ever have a similar opportunity."
"Of course, renowned disaster you are? Rarely attending my concert, how could I not perform another song?"
With a corner smile, Uta directly began, "Bubble Lullaby, my new track!"
BANG!
As she opened her mouth, before any syllables escaped, the door to the captain's cabin of the Death Star was sliced open by a brilliant light. A thunderous figure leaped forth; the fierce wind pressure swept over the watching Buggy's head, causing him to lose control and fall straight into the sea.
Simultaneously, rhythmically rich song lyrics burst forth, and the radiant light swiftly zipped to Sage's side.
CLANG!
Lily, who had fallen asleep with eyes closed, wielded her sword in a slashing posture, yet the two-finger width sword blade was firmly blocked by Sage's single blackened finger.
WHOOSH!
At the moment of blocking, the ground beneath him suddenly caved downward, with sand replacing the stone slabs blowing outward in a spiral. Before Sage could pull his foot free, the swirling sand formed Crocodile's figure, a single hand morphing into a Sand Blade, swiftly slicing Sage's shoulder.
CLANG!
With a crisp sound, the Sand Blade exploded upon Sage's shoulder. Sage didn't even turn his head; his other hand, shaped like a hand blade, swiftly pointed with Haki directly at the center of Crocodile's head.
With a bang, Crocodile's entire head crumbled into exploding sand, swiftly spreading throughout his body, and then reformed in the not-so-distant ground as Crocodile's body, albeit with a fresh wound on his forehead.
"Oh? Not even the point on the Divine Court stopped it, it seems pulling into the Spiritual World can't awaken oneself." Sage voiced his surprise.
It wasn't merely a simple hand blade but a precise strike at a Secret Hole, specifically targeting the Divine Court in the human body. This Secret Hole has many functions, causing tremors, palpitations, headaches, dizziness, lethargy, absence... and can even explode.
Due to its nature as Assassination Fist, the forward effect is always negative, while reverse may be therapeutic.
This strike aimed at 'sleeplessness', able to rouse even the most deeply asleep; Sage's hit was intended to last for three days, where if struck, regardless of exhaustion, one simply cannot sleep. The same applies to those already asleep.
But ability is a 'miracle' surpassing technique.
WHOOSH!
Just as he thought this, the wind attacked again, with Mihawk and Boa Hancock charging from the left and right.
The former unsheathing his Black Blade in a horizontal slash, while the latter feigned a bow-drawing charge, creating a heart with her fingers, and firing numerous pink arrows.
"Ha!"
This time, Sage let out a low shout; Haki emanated from his body, forming a barrier to block Mihawk's horizontal Black Blade slash, intercepting those pink arrows.
After blocking, Sage swiftly flickered away, faster than a blink, causing a subtle shockwave around both figures, which were sent flying away.
"Even abilities can be employed, huh."
Sage glanced towards Uta, who kept singing and praised, "Impressive! Among the Ability Users I've met, you seem to have the highest level of Ability Development; I, Sage, am willing to call you the second in Ability Development."
A commendation deservedly given, this ability truly was finely developed.
As for who's first?
No need to ask.
Already evolved into a singing-dancing Uta continued to raise her voice, but her eyes showed signs of urgency as numerous slumbering Pirates aboard the Death Star and on the island collectively leapt forward, swarming to encircle Sage.
The knocked-back Mihawk and Boa Hancock flashed towards Uta, while Crocodile reformed as sand above Uta's head, facing Sage.
Lily again drew her sword, attacking alongside the Pirates who unsheathed their weapons.
Controlled was the body, akin to puppets, regardless of how injured they become; as long as the spirit remains, they're continuously manipulated.
Piercing Secret Holes were futile since controlling them wasn't by their own will, resembling Doflamingo's string-controlled puppets, moving despite crushed bones.
No need for experimentation, Sage understood the potency of this ability.
Indeed an impressive Ability User.
"But mere ability isn't sufficient. On the sea, there are countless mysterious abilities, yet those truly capable of negating them aren't through countermeasures, rather..."
Sage extended a single hand, gripping tightly with a menacing grin, "Haki!!"
BOOM!!
A formidable Haki Shock expanded outward like a tempest, instantly blowing away those minions. With his other hand, he caught the sword swung by Lily, twisting it aside, elbowing Lily's chest firmly, embedding it deeply, and with precise skill, launched her flying far off, crashing into the captain's cabin.
