In the early morning, Treasure Island was filled with coolness, and the white fog shrouded the entire island. Many people had already come out of their rooms in advance and arrived at the western district, occupying the advantageous terrain early on.
There was no scramble for seats. Everyone knew that if one's status and strength did not reach a certain level, one would not have the face to enter Wright's Bar and sit down.
A year had passed, and Wright's Bar had already become one of the most famous landmarks on Treasure Island and even in the entire Central Sea Region.
Being able to walk in, find a corner to sit down, and order a glass of wine that was not expensive was a symbol of status and value. If it were not for the sufficiently spacious street outside the bar, perhaps the poor people would not have the opportunity to listen to the divine music at all.
It was said that the bar manager, Janet, had planned to purchase a nearby block and turn the entire large area into a grand theater.
She almost succeeded. Most of the houses near the street corner were purchased by her under Mr. Wright's name, but in the end, the theater wasn't built. Instead, most of the buildings were flattened and turned into a medium-sized square that could accommodate ten thousand people.
It was said that this was Mr. Wright's intention. At that time, his original words were as follows: "Music and art, regardless of high or low, regardless of high or low, music performed in a cage-like theater has no soul. Only unrestrained music can obtain eternity in the sea breeze!"
Therefore, on the bustling trading island of Treasure Island, the newly built Wright's Square had become the most unique scenery. Every day from one to five o 'clock in the afternoon, the huge square would become completely silent, and only the ethereal and gorgeous music would resound throughout the square.
However, even if such a huge square had been expanded, it would still be full of people when Chen Guang played every day without exception.
Usually, it was extremely difficult to find a seat in the square, let alone today.
People put on their best clothes and went out early. The sun had only risen halfway, but the huge square was already crowded with people. Not only that, but the streets further away were also crowded with people who had nowhere to go. The street vendors were much more diligent than usual, shouting and selling goods and breakfast that had been rushed through the night last night.
Even the four trading halls on Treasure Island that never closed for business had chosen to close for the day. This was because none of the natives of Treasure Island who worked in the trading hall were willing to work at all. All of them had applied for leave to go to Wright Square.
A festive atmosphere filled Treasure Island. In just one night, the resident population of Treasure Island, which was about 600,000 to 700,000, doubled.
Everyone who could arrive within one day tried their best to come from all over the Central Sea Region.
It was rumored that the leaders of the Central Sea, in order to arrive within one day, had even used powerful black magic to arrive within one day. At this time, it was said that they would arrive before noon.
In addition to the three captains who were originally on Treasure Island, among the top 100 pirate forces in the Sea of Moments, seven more had rushed over overnight, and the leaders of eight other forces were on the way. Without exception, in order to rush over as quickly as possible, they had all paid a heavy price, just to witness with their own eyes the contest between musician Brook, one of the 12 Sea Emperors, and Wright.
The competition between bards was actually not uncommon. Unlike the fierce competition between pirates, the competition between bards was mainly focused on performance skills or poetry creation. Basically, no lives would be lost in the competition. On the contrary, they could gain new insights through mutual exchanges and collisions.
This was also one of the ways that bards in the Transient Sea who were close in level to improve themselves. It was just that from the very beginning, when Chen Guang appeared on Treasure Island, he appeared to be too strong, so much so that no matter how envious, jealous, or hateful they were, they dared not challenge him lightly. On the contrary, most of them came to learn from him.
Originally, these people did not have any hope of becoming his disciple. After all, there had never been a bard who was generous enough to pass on his skills. Moreover, how could the bards' skills be passed on?
Even if they remembered the sequence of all the keys, they could not remember the rhythm between each note!
It was not until ten of them had successfully become Chen Guang's disciples that they saw a musical score for the first time.
At that time, Chen Guang also expressed his astonishment. He had a dumbfounded look on his face and was puzzled. The Transient Sea had tens of thousands of years of history, so why couldn't they even invent a musical score?
But later on, he also understood that in a sense, before he came here for the first time, the entire Transient Sea did not exist.
Its previous history was a fictional reality created by the Cup Realm when it created the world.
To Chen Guang, the history of the Transient Sea was fictional, but to the people of the Transient Sea, it was real.
It was actually very simple to explain why they did not have a musical score. It was because Chen Guang did not understand this thing at all. He did not have this concept in his mind at all. He had forgotten about it when the Heavenly Holy Grail was creating the world!
Sometimes, being carefree was a very happy thing. At this time, no matter how excited the people outside were, Chen Guang himself was sleeping soundly.
After making the first cup of devil juice last night, he did not stay idle. He spent the whole night training two of his ten disciples, Shauna and Celelin.
The scene at that time was like this.
"Teacher, why can't I wear clothes when I play the piano?"
"You can wear clothes when you play outside, but when you study with me, every inch of your skin must be exposed to the air. This way, every pore of your body is breathing, and you will be able to experience the artistic aura emitted by your teacher's body."
"Yes teacher, but why do David and the others wear clothes when studying with you?"
"Because their realm is too low, so they temporarily cannot experience my precious artistic aura. Shauna, when you play, spread your legs a little wider, use your strength to breathe, use your heart to feel, that's right, that's it. "
"Teacher, your pants are torn."
"It's okay, I also need to breathe."
"Teacher, the piano collapsed."
"It's okay, buy a new one tomorrow."
Crack.
"Teacher, my elbow is broken!"
"This time, something happened."
After a moment of chaos, Chen Guang and Celelin carried the accidentally injured Shauna back to the room.
Chen Guang said, "Actually, when I was teaching, I accidentally touched her elbow. I really didn't mean it!"
If he had a choice, he would rather all of his disciples be beauties. Unfortunately, his heart was higher than the sky, and his life was thinner than paper. After so many choices, he could only find these two girls.
Shauna's appearance was pure, and she was seventy to eighty percent similar to the Hollywood star Emma Watson in his memory. Celelin was more charming, and she looked very much like Scarlett Johansson.
As for how talented these two were in the piano, Chen Guang said that he had no idea. His own music theory was zero, so he had no right to evaluate other people's talent.
The reason he chose them as his disciples was very simple. Appearance was justice!
As for the other eight male disciples, Chen Guang felt that he could not only accept female disciples, otherwise it would be too obvious and damage his image. Therefore, after eliminating more than ninety percent of the people who came to learn from him, he kept these eight men.
There were two reasons for choosing them. First, they were to make up the numbers, and second, they were ugly enough.
If the world knew that Mr. Wright's standards for accepting disciples were like this, who knew how many of his fans would have their dreams shattered.
Of course, as a modern person with a thick skin, Chen Guang definitely could not let people find out that there was something fishy about him.
"You are the disciples that I have chosen! One in ten thousand! If you can inherit even a ten thousandth of my talent, you will become the legends of the Sea of Moments! Do you remember? This is the staff! This is the greatest treasure I have left for the Sea of Moments! From today onwards, the bards of the Sea of Moments will completely change their current situation of thinking alone. Instead, they will be able to record their own inspiration using the staff and pass it down! "
When Chen Guang accepted disciples, he said this to the ten people below the stage who were looking at him with admiration.
"I am satisfied with your talent, but you must remember, only those with the most sincere hearts can become the greatest bards! Therefore, I absolutely forbid the love between apprentices. Once discovered, they will be expelled immediately! "
The ten people looked at him with even more admiration.
"If you want to understand the true meaning of art through love, you can only love me!"
The eyes of the ten people seemed to have stars. What a great teacher.
"Don't look at me like that. In my hometown, same-sex love is not accepted!"
Finally, when the noon bell rang, a huge ship hanging a huge pirate flag suddenly appeared outside the port of Treasure Island. Brook had arrived!
The people who had been waiting here for a long time cheered in unison. The reputation that Brook had accumulated for many years was not an undeserved reputation.
Unlike Chen Guang who rose rapidly like a comet, Brook had used his dedication day after day, year after year, to win the respect of every pirate in the Sea of Moments.
His strength was tyrannical, yet he was humble, courteous, and generous.
Even the royal family of the Central Earth government, who had arrived earlier than Brook, chose to stay at the port and wait for Brook's arrival.
Chen Guang originally didn't intend to come, but he really couldn't resist Bob's tearful pleading.
"Mr. Wright, I'm begging you, go take a look, even if it's to show a little bit of basic respect, so that if we lose … No, no, of course we won't lose! You are the most powerful bard. Brook crossed two seas to listen to your teachings, and the great you took the initiative to go to the port to welcome him. Regardless of victory or defeat, this will surely become a legend! "
"Sir, think about it. Tens of thousands of years later, there will be such a story circulating in the Sea of Moments. It was a sunny noon, and the greatest bard in history, Mr. Wright, and the second greatest bard, Lord Brook, met for the first time on Treasure Island, opening a new chapter in the history of the Sea of Moments! How about it? Don't you feel excited just thinking about it? "
Although today's Bob was no longer the destitute intelligence merchant of the past, and was also a respected figure on the island, his eloquence hadn't fallen, and his flattery had become even more exquisite.
Chen Guang was also pleased with the flattery, "There's still a bit of truth to it, let's go."
But when he really stood at the forefront of the port, looking at the huge pirate ship that was more than ten feet tall, not inferior to the Titanic cruise ship, he still received a great shock.
What shocked him wasn't the size of the ship, but the very familiar pirate flag on it!
The skull on the flag made his consciousness pass through the barrier of the plane in an instant. It was as if he had returned to the time when he was still a primary school student, squatting at home with Zhu Zhifa and a group of people. They were filled with anticipation as they inserted the CDs they rented from the video store into the VCD player of Bubugao.
It was a scorching hot summer, and a dozen of his friends squeezed together in a room without air conditioning. Although they were sweating profusely from the heat, their eyes were shining as they watched the TV, unwilling to even blink.
They were touched by Luffy's persistence, shed tears because of Zoro's strength, cupped their hearts because of Chopper's cuteness, laughed at Sanji's curly eyebrows, peeked at Nami's perky breasts like thieves, and almost got into a fight over who had a better figure between Nami and Robin.
Time flew, and youth was gone, never to return to that day.
He once thought that Luffy didn't exist in this world, but when he saw the pirate flag, Chen Guang felt as if his memory had been devoured.
It was a grinning skull wearing a straw hat with a red rim.
It was the pirate flag of the Straw Hat Pirates.
At this moment, Chen Guang's nose instantly turned sour. Crossing the barrier between two worlds had dealt a heavy blow to his heart.
"Mr. Wright, what's wrong?" Baldev, who was behind Chen Guang, noticed that Chen Guang's shoulders were trembling.
Chen Guang rubbed his eyes, "No … nothing."
"By the way, Bob, was there a pirate named Luffy in this world?" Chen Guang asked Bob.
Bob carefully thought for a long time, then said, "Sir, you really asked the right person. Only the well-informed Bob can answer your question. Nearly two thousand years ago, there was indeed such a great pirate group. If they hadn't suddenly disappeared, Captain Luffy might have become the greatest king of the sea after Gole Roger. But the sea is forgetful. Although Luffy was powerful, he disappeared too abruptly and didn't leave any treasures behind. No one sang praises of his glory, so he was gradually forgotten. But the older generation of Neptune all know of him. "
"Can his body grow longer? Is he a rubber man? Did he eat rubber fruits? "Even though he knew it was impossible, Chen Guang still couldn't help but ask.
"Rubber fruits? What's that? "
"Nothing, pretend I didn't ask."
Finally, the giant ship stopped completely, and a small boat was put down from the side of the giant ship. It had no sails, but it moved quickly on the sea like a water snake.
A hearty laugh came from the boat far away.
"Oh, hahaha! I finally meet you, Mr. Wright! "
A tall but thin figure suddenly appeared in front of Chen Guang.
Chen Guang looked up at the man. His eyes were deep, his eyes were almost invisible, his cheekbones were high, and there was almost no flesh. He was so thin that only a bag of skin was left.
"Skeleton Brook? Where did Luffy go? "Chen Guang blurted out.
Musician Brook's smiling face froze in an instant, and an invisible momentum emerged from him. The sea behind him shook fiercely, and a pit of hundreds of feet deep and hundreds of feet in diameter suddenly appeared. His Poseidon Class Haoshoku Haki was out of control!
