Will peace come if Joy Boy appears?
The excitement always belonged to them, while the common people had nothing.
For countless years, they have remained a neglected group.
If we look back on Chopper's experiences, who pays attention to the doctors who were captured and killed?
When Nami's Bellemere is remembered, who will feel pity for the utterly destroyed town of Kosha?
When we think of Wang Luffy in his childhood, who pays attention to the scavenger at the uncertain final destination?
nobody!
Never!
Then Ghost Shark came; she wanted to sing a song for those who couldn't go on living.
As Specter Shark prepared to begin their performance, a storm was brewing in the hearts of the audience below.
I once thought about ending it all?
As is typical for Ghost Shark, she mainly sings her own original songs.
In other words, did Ms. Ghost Shark really have considered ending her life?
Hey, are you kidding me? Such a strong and beautiful woman has ever had suicidal thoughts?
In an instant, the faces of all the naval personnel turned solemn.
Crane and Kuzan straightened up a bit, and the lark and peacock also stopped playing and became serious.
Tina was startled, and immediately recalled the lab slide experience that Ghost Shark had mentioned, and sand got into her eyes.
"You must know something, right?" A haughty yet urgent voice came from beside me.
Tina looked up and saw the Empress, who had moved to her new position at some point.
"Boa Hancock? What does my sister's matter to you?"
“Of course, I am her most beloved woman!” Hancock crossed her arms, her ample chest almost bursting out. “How could I not know about her past?”
untie..."
“I once thought about ending it all, but it was because of the mournful cries of black-tailed gulls at the dock.”
"Birds that drift with the tide, peck at my past and fly far away."
"I once thought about ending it all, because the apricot blossoms bloomed on my birthday."
"If one were to doze off in that sunlight, would one be able to turn to dust along with the dead remains of insects?"
Just like the lyrics of this song, which express utter despair, only one beam of light remained, shining alone on the head of the ghost shark.
Heavy, oppressive, suffocating.
The audience felt as if an impenetrable dark cloud was hanging over their heads.
In the eyes of someone determined to die, even the most beautiful scenery is tainted with a deathly aura so thick it's dizzying.
why?
Why such despair?
Tina's eyes were red, like a girl who had just had a good cry.
Hancock felt extremely suffocated and could only gasp for breath.
The ghost shark incident had already enraged her, but then she remembered how she had vented her frustrations to her that night...
Is this a song written for me? Is it meant to remind me to cherish life?
Tears welled up in Hancock's eyes, and she laughed and cried at the same time, her expression out of control.
Backstage, Ain and Alice were also deeply moved. Both of them had terrible pasts, and their most desperate moments were just like the lyrics.
Even the ghost shark on stage had a choked voice.
This song is perfect when sung with a sobbing tone, and besides, the sobbing tone isn't faked.
She truly had a painful past, a dark and desperate one, where she was cut into pieces and suffered inhuman treatment.
Even the doctor I remember was once seriously ill, spent time in the intensive care unit, had a high fever of 41 degrees Celsius, suffered respiratory failure, and almost died.
Unlike his own hazy memories in the lab, the doctor's memories were very clear. He remembered how disgusting the potassium solution in the hospital tasted and how the suffocating feeling of the tube going through his nostrils and into his lungs was still vivid in his mind.
The suffering of ordinary people is different from mine, but is the thought of suicide any different?
Shouldn't this song that sustained the PhD student be spread across this vast ocean?
Anyone who has experienced utter despair, cried in the dead of night, and completely lost hope should listen to this song.
"Today is just like yesterday."
"If you want change tomorrow, you must change today..."
Just when everyone thought it was a simple continuation, a sudden, shocking cry shattered their senses.
"I know, I know everything, but..."
BBB felt a chill run down her spine, overwhelmed by this pure and utter despair, and almost stood up.
The singing is indescribable; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it has reached the pinnacle of music. What a creative genius this is! No, more than just a genius; this is the pinnacle of music, reaching the realm of the divine.
After the crying and shouting, there is another scene that is extremely close to real life.
I once thought of ending it all, because of my hollowed-out heart, because of my untied shoelaces, because I'm a cold-hearted person...
"The ringing of the telephone, the tightly plugged ears, and the boy in the cage."
"Fighting against an unseen enemy, he is the Don Quixote of the three-square-meter room."
"The ultimate goal, anyway, is something ugly and despicable."
On stage, Ghost Shark sang with a sob in his voice, allowing the audience to experience firsthand the world of the desperate.
Everyone suddenly felt that simply being alive was such a precious thing.
Many girls in the audience sobbed, and some residents of Round Moon Island also burst into tears. They were the ones who had survived the painful past, and no one understood it more deeply than them.
For almost the entire song, a dark, iron-gray cloud hung over the stage, and the audience fell silent.
No one cheered. Cheered for what? Cheered for despair?
No one applauded, so why applaud? For suffering?
Those who glorify suffering deserve to die!
If I were to bring you hardship and wipe out your entire family, would you be happy?
"Those who constantly think about death must be taking life too seriously."
BBB stood up instantly when he heard this lyric.
It must be because I'm taking life too seriously...
That short sentence seemed to explode in the heart of this man who was over fifty!
The melody slowed down and became softer, nearing its end.
But Ghost Shark continues to recount the bits and pieces of despair.
BBB gripped the table tightly with both hands, her eyes fixed on the figures on the stage.
Why? The melody is almost over, yet the emotion remains so somber.
How will you cleave through the dark clouds and deliver hope?
Is it supposed to be through crying and yelling? Doesn't it seem abrupt to add the last sentence?
BBB shook her head and sighed inwardly. Regardless, this song was timeless; even if the ending was a little sloppy, its merits outweighed its flaws. After all, no one would question God.
Was the result still just a little short?
No, wait!
"I once thought about ending it all, but I hadn't met you yet."
"Because there are people like you, I've come to like this world a little bit more."
"Because there are people like you, I've started to look forward to this world a little more."
As BBB finished singing, he laughed with satisfaction, a few tears still lingering in the corners of his eyes.
I see, I see.
Even in the end, only a glimmer of light appeared, and only a slight expectation remained for this world.
I was too focused on the courage of the grieving to open the door, and too eager for the blazing sunlight to pierce the darkness.
But they overlooked the true state of mind of the person contemplating suicide.
Just like the light above the ghost shark's head, it was cleverly set to be a dim beam.
Just this
A sliver of light, yet for many, it remains something unattainable.
As the song ended, Ghost Shark wiped his sweat, smiled quietly, and composed himself.
At that moment, the entire audience was as quiet as a forest after the rain.
Even the filth in one's heart seems to be purified and cleansed by this song.
Chapter 150: A Salute to the King's Birth (Bonus Chapter for Romanov)
The next moment, the enthusiastic cheers and thunderous applause finally arrived.
Everyone has their own despair and suffering; it is a lonely ordeal, but Ghost Shark gave them a glimmer of light through music.
Because of the existence of people like her, people have a glimmer of hope for the world.
As Ghost Shark bowed in thanks, the audience suddenly stood up, offering their highest respect.
"This song is ahead of its time!"
BBB, who was also part of the event, was very proud and radiant, clapping her hands non-stop.
"Moreover, it transcends class and even the heavens and earth. From the sky islands in the sky to the fish-man islands thousands of meters below, different species have found a common language."
Keep a low profile, keep a low profile.
Ghost Shark blushed slightly at the praise and quickly waved his hand discreetly.
“I am honored to be a part of this moment when humanity shines like stars in the sky.” A female judge clapped her hands like a seal, her eyes sparkling. “But I don’t think the title of World Diva is suitable for you.”
Ok?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then a thick death stare was cast over the female judge.
To everyone's surprise, she was completely unfazed and said in an almost fanatical tone, "She should be a siren! A queen of music! Only a king is worthy of your status!"
The flood of gazes vanished instantly, and the audience beamed with joy—it turned out to be one of their own.
The hundred-meter-long sword was almost impossible to retract.
"The Siren! The Queen of Music!"
The audience went wild, their deafening roar drowning out all other sounds as they surged toward the Specter Shark at the center of the stage.
Bang!
The lights on the stadium's dome were lit up in rows, and golden rain swirled down on the girl's head.
"A salute to the birth of the king!"
Major Ain's soft shout bestowed upon Specter the crown of the King of Music.
Of course, being socially awkward, Ai Yin could only hide in the broadcasting studio and give orders.
Through Morgans's Den Den Mushi live broadcast, 60% of the world's population watched this moment in silence.
A music queen, one of a kind in the world!
As for Uta, she had long been forgotten in the backstage dressing room, and the audience had even lost interest in lifting her veil.
"Colonel Ghost Shark, when will your album be released?" an audience member asked eagerly.
"Yes, we've been waiting forever." Many audience members urged, clearly wanting to hear "I Once Thought of Ending It All Again" one more time.
