Overview

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.

Role

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.

Notable Members

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.
