Oda volume message:
This is volume 4 billion!! Scary number!!
It’s based off of Shanks’ bounty.
I visited a certain Takoyaki restaurant in Osaka once, and on the menu they have a set of 6 Takoyakis for 4 million yen, I gave the waitress 500 yen and she said “okay here’s your change of 1 million yen!” while handing me 100 yen. Osaka is really a fascinating city isn’t it lol
This is some crazy inflation!!!
Anyway volume 4 billion here we go!

Uta’s Story
39 years ago: Shanks was born
38 years ago: God Valley incident, a baby(Shanks age 1) was among the treasures Roger took

25 years ago: (Shanks age 14) Roger Pirates disbanded
24 years ago: Roger’s execution, “Great Pirate Era”
21 years ago: Uta was born

19 years ago: (Uta age 2) Hometown attacked by pirates, both her parents were killed. Taken by the pirates.
Encountered Shanks.
They defeated the pirates!!
Saved Uta.
Shanks: hey! What should we do?!
(Uta age 2, Shanks age 20)
Ended up raising her on the ship.
Red Haired Pirates “Musician Uta”
Mysterious voice, as if dragging people into dreams.
Shanks: daughter
everyone is out fighting, Uta stays on the ship alone, “boring” → in the world of dream created by her imagination, now it’s fine even if nobody’s around ♪

Establishing her personality(Uta age 2-9)
If she close her eyes and sing, everything will go just as how she wanted!
She desires a world of peace:
-no conflicts
-no need to worry about food, clothing and shelter
-never ending music
-will never end
The world of dream inside her head.
“Wouldn’t it great if our world is like this ♪”
I hope an era like that will arrive, a “new era”

13 years ago: Took the Gum Gum fruit from Government ship(a lot happened)
Same year, headed toward East Blue.
Stayed around Foosha village at the corner of Goa Kingdom for a year.

13-12 years ago: met Luffy (Uta age 8-9, Luffy 6-7), around the same age so they became friends
-chicken game!
Dog charging at them: woof woof!
-singing while thinking about a world of happiness
-Luffy has no interest in a imagined world
Luffy: I’m done
Shanks(age 26-27)
-will never take Luffy who’s too easily excited on a voyage

Each of their “New Era”
Uta: I’ll change the world with my songs!
Luffy: “I will…!!”
His dream(the one he told Ace and Sabo)

Luffy: “I drew Shanks’ Strawhat!!”
Uta: “it’s so bad!”
“How is this a hat??”

Luffy: “let’s make it the symbol of our ‘new era’!”
“Here! You can keep it!”

“Promise of a New Era”
[The symbol that’s on Uta’s clothing]


12 years ago: a Voyage to Elegia
While they are using Foosha village as their base, they can still go far away from it, just not pass the Red Line.

A certain location at the calm belt of the first half of the Grand Line
Elegia: (Uta age 9, Shanks age 27, Luffy age 7)
-a cheerful country of music
-Uta sang the forbidden song “Tot Musica”
-destruction of Elegia
-Red Haired Pirates stopped the demon king

Elegia:
-a country in ruins
-Uta sleeping among the rubbles
-Shanks speaking with Gordon
-Shanks taking the blame for the destruction of the country
-parting with his “daughter” that he has raised for 7 years (shanks in tears in the sketch)
-leaving Uta to Gordon’s care
-Red Hair became infamous
Uta: “where’s Shanks?!”

Luffy: “?”
“Where’s Uta?”(don’t have his scar yet)
Shanks: “she’s staying at the island for her dream”

Luffy: “if so just explain to me properly!!”
Shanks: “I’m the one who’s in pain you damn brat!!”
Hidden setting:
when Luffy gets grumpy he won’t talk to Red Haired Pirates for a while → Shanks hates to lose and is a drunkard, will take things out on Luffy (how embarrassing, Shanks)

Elegia: “Red Haired Pirates destroyed Elegia”
-Uta learned about what Shanks did
-she is abandoned by Shanks
-unable to smile
-Gordon couldn’t explain to her

3 years ago: (Uta age 18) She found a new type of Den Den Mushi
[Regarding this special Den Den Mushi]
Has mic and speaker function, shell is still artificial
SSG-Special Science Group
-prototype made by Vegapunk (you don’t came across something like this every!! Lol don’t make it too convenient)
-able to transmit signals to random mass
-Uta’s signal → received by random few dozen people “hey this is nice” → spreads, song was able to be heard by the world ♪ People who received the signals sent back everyone’s feedback → to Uta’s Den Den Mushi → Fans’ voices → Uta

Uta sent her favorite song to people around the world → she became popular. Voice of happiness. Her songs carried the power of her ability.
-saved the people from their suffering
They are fascinated by her dream world
-words of gratitude arrived
Uta is able to smile again, so happy, it’s her reason to live.
Uta learned more about the world
-people are suffering due to the Great Pirate Era
Uta wants to help ease the pain
-her song “new genesis” was very successful
Uta sang a song about her past with Shanks and his crew
-huge response for “Backlight”

-people treating Uta as “savior”
-her popularity transcends generations and races
Around the world:
“Utaaaaa!!” “Uta chan ♡”
This continues during the two years.

Soaring popularity → soaring expectations!!
Uta: “I have to save everyone!!”
-happy she is acknowledged
-sense of responsibility for the expectations placed on her
-the sadness from Shanks abandoning her is slowly healing
Gordon watching over her: I’m glad she’s cheerful again

Desperate wish from an unfortunate girl
→the message that caught her attention
“Hey Uta-chan, I want to get away from here”
“I want to stay in Uta-chan’s world forever”

1 year ago: one day, she suddenly learned about the truth
Tone dial: “In hopes of passing down the knowledge of the incident at Elegia, a message from a victim”
The truth that’s completely different from what she has heard.
Remembers “Tot Musica”
-“I’m a murderer?!”
-the applause from fans kept coming
-Shanks took the blame for her..!! (She has been hating on someone who saved her all this time)
-it hurts. I want to die!! No that’s not right
I want to run away, I want to be saved
Uta: “I want to see Shanks again!!”
-it’s now too late to change her public image of “Hating on pirates”
-now knowing the truth, she remembers all her memories with Shanks
-when she used to love pirates

And so she now has two faces.
Public: representative of the people. The righteous singer, everyone’s hope.
There’s no turning back, she has to go on singing. “I hate pirates!!”. Painful, but it’s for the fans
Private: “I have no right to dislike pirates”
I want to see Shanks again!!

“The sleepless mushroom I once read about”

Uta realized the compatibility between Song Song fruit and the sleepless mushroom.
Song Song fruit:
-take people to virtual space “Uta World” through song, where they can forget about reality
-Uta World disappears when Uta falls asleep
Sleepless Mushroom:
-no longer able to fall asleep, and dies several hours after consumption
-becomes violent ← Uta didn’t know about this

Uta’s Determination
A huge plan for a never ending world!
Eat Sleepless mushroom → suicide(crossed out) → escape
She is a someone who committed genocide(a devastating fact)
“I will save everyone!! I want to be saved too”
-unleashing her ability to its limit at a big concert that’ll involve the whole world!! Save everyone that admire her from this cruel reality!!
-Uta World will end if she falls asleep. But this concert will end with her death without falling asleep, so Uta World won’t close →the truth of the big concert →a never ending Uta World, everyone and herself will be able to escape from reality! Only the world of happiness will continue. “This is my New Genesis”
(Uta doesn’t consider the destruction of physical body to be death)

Another goal of the big concert:
-people will be coming from all over the world
-maybe Shanks will notice, maybe she will be able to see him one last time
She wants to tell him
“Thank you for everything, and I’m sorry”

The big concert is about to start!!
ONE PIECE FILM RED

Big Concert(maybe it needs a name, something to do with Red) Set List

1, New Genesis: opening song, very flashy
She bites the mushroom, no hesitation

2, I’m Invincible: Increased violence caused by an effect of the mushroom that Uta didn’t know about(unexpected event)

3, Backlight: mad at Luffy because he got the strawhat from Shanks and side effect of the mushroom
-looks for Shanks
-her expression darkens
-a song she can’t sing with her heart

4, Fleeting Lullaby: Uta starts to get weird, her words has now a religious feel to them.

5, Tot Musica: the worst situation has happened again. The tragedy that occurred on Elegia repeats itself!!
Crazy Uta → Use the power of the demon king to stop anyone who stands in her path.

6, The World’s Continuation: goes back to normal → turns down Shanks’ medicine
It’s all too painful and she just wants to escape to the dream world.
Song of angels that stop everyone’s rampage

7, Where the Wind Blows: A song from her childhood. Dying Uta

Summary:
It’s not “to die” but “to escape”. I hope it makes sense.

The dark part of the Great Pirate Era.
The entertainment that saved the suffering citizens…is video making!!
Even though she was taken by a tragic era, she’s still trying her hardest looking for a place she belong, searching for a way to happiness.
This is the story of a girl that tries to save everyone by guiding them to the dream world.

Uta: “what is virtual? What is reality?
Is it really wrong to look for a way out?”

The only villain here is Tot Musica.
Uta’s plan ended in failure, and that’s a good thing. We still have Luffy who also made a promise for a New Era. And maybe Shanks too…SECRET

Man this is feckin weird. So Uta, a quasi-canonical character is being tossed into the backstory of Shanks and Luffy?

I thought Luffy's early childhood was supposed to be marked by loneliness which is why he clung onto Ace so much even though the latter was a complete dick at the start but it later turns out that Luffy had a best friend his age before Ace?

Oda should really just stop with these retcons. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
