Nicknamed the Island of Music, Elegia is the main backdrop of One Piece Film: Red and the site of Uta's grand festival. In non-canon lore it once held the Elegia Kingdom under King Gordon, whose people were annihilated twelve years prior when Tot Musica escaped its seal.
Known to the world as the Island of Music, this place anchors the events of Film: Red and hosts the concert built around Uta. Away from the canon timeline, it formerly held the Elegia Kingdom under the rule of King Gordon. That realm was undone some twelve years earlier: when Tot Musica slipped free of the seal binding it, almost every resident perished, and Gordon alone was left alive. Three connected landmasses make up the island, the largest of them rebuilt so that most of its surface became an open-air concert hall walled in by great arching rock.
Long after the catastrophe, Uta selected the island to debut her very first public performance, and a huge audience answered the call, the Straw Hat Pirates and other crews mingling with Marine personnel. She launched into New Genesis, unveiled who she truly was, and proclaimed that the festival would never end. Secretly she drew on the Uta Uta no Mi to trap every listener's mind within Uta World while their bodies lay senseless below, her aim being to preserve her fans forever in a flawless realm untouched by pirates or grief. Wary both of her bond with Shanks and of the dormant threat buried below, the Five Elders sanctioned a Marine strike led by thirty warships under Kizaru and Fujitora.
Gordon ruled the vanished kingdom and endures as the disaster's only survivor. Uta, abandoned on the island as a child by the Red Hair Pirates, came back to mount the ill-fated concert and eventually called Tot Musica forth once more to protect her dream. The Demon King of Songs surfaced both in Uta World and above the island until Luffy's allies and Shanks' crew combined their assaults to destroy it. With the battle over, Uta gave a performance of The World's Continuation, freeing her captive fans as she collapsed from the wake-shrooms swallowed to keep herself awake, whereupon the Red Hair Pirates bore her away and left the island empty again.

When I first decided to commit to watching One Piece seriously, I knew I was embarking on one of anime's longest and most beloved series. With over 100...

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
Twelve years before the events of Film: Red, the seal binding Tot Musica broke and the creature killed nearly every resident of the Elegia Kingdom, leaving only King Gordon alive.
Elegia, nicknamed the Island of Music, is the setting of One Piece Film: Red and the site of Uta's massive debut concert, formed from three connected landmasses.
The Elegia Kingdom's backstory and the Tot Musica incident are largely non-canon, tied specifically to the events of One Piece Film: Red rather than the mainline story.
Elegia is the central setting of One Piece Film: Red, where Uta hosts her first public concert on the island.
The Five Elders grew wary of Uta's bond with Shanks and the dormant threat buried beneath Elegia, so they sanctioned a Marine strike on the island led by thirty warships under Admirals Kizaru and Fujitora.
