After some time had passed and everything was cleaned up—it turns out that restoring a destroyed forest is a lot easier than it sounds… when you have a giant stuffed teddy bear.
Lyra now sat alone, the air filled with a bittersweet sadness. The Straw Hats had gone off to prepare supplies, getting ready for their next departure.
(• Lyra, you currently have two unchecked system notifications. Would you like to view them? •)
Lyra's eyes widened. How could she have forgotten something so important? Of course there would be notifications after completing her first performance!
"Great Sage! Why didn't you remind me earlier?!" she practically bounced where she sat, excitement washing away the gloom of the impending goodbye.
(• Lyra, I attempted to notify you three times... then you destroyed a forest and rendered an individual named Nami unconscious... •)
Lyra puffed her cheeks into a pout. Then, realization dawned on her. "If Nami hadn't interrupted me, I would've checked them already!" she huffed, shaking her fist at the sky. "Nami, I've written down this grudge!"
Meanwhile, Nami—currently at Belle-Mère's grave having a sentimental moment—suddenly sneezed. Her expression soured, ruining the atmosphere. Turning her head quickly from Luffy, she muttered, "Who's cursing such a beautiful woman like me? I bet I only stole a few Beli... so stingy!"
Back in the forest, Lyra gave her best performance yet: her patented groveling expression. "Oh mighty Great Sage, please forgive my rudeness! Bestow your divine guidance and show me the notifications!"
(• Is it just me, or are you even better at groveling than last time? •)
(•…Sigh. Very well. Here are your notifications: •)

__
Lyra was stunned by the info-dump dropped on her by the Great Sage. After three re-reads and using every last one of her available IQ points, she finally understood.
She threw her hands into the air and spun around gleefully.
"Great Sage! Look! I'm a super awesome musician with fans! I actually have fans! And look at all those Fame points—hahahaha—I'm famous!"
(• Lyra... Fame Points have nothing to do with how famous you feel. Have you already forgotten what I told you? They're used in the Store to buy items and in the Gacha system. Also, the system is called the Great Multiverse Musician Cultivation System, not the Great Single Island in East Blue Cultivation System. You're barely a rookie with a meager 72 fans. •)
Lyra snorted and crossed her arms with a huff.
"You're just jealous of my overnight success! Besides, everyone has to start somewhere, right?"
(• Whatever helps you sleep at night, Lyra. Now, would you like to know what your new skill does, or what hidden achievements are? Then again… since I'm so jealous, maybe I shouldn't tell you anything... •)
Her brain short-circuited for a second. She had been so caught up in celebrating that she nearly forgot to ask! Immediately, she activated her secret weapon: the patented groveling expression.
"Pwetty please, Great Sage! I'm super-duper sorry!" she begged, eyes wide and watery like a kicked puppy.
(• Okay, no—there's no way you haven't practiced that… •)
Sweat rolled down her forehead. She definitely couldn't admit she stood in front of a mirror rehearsing for situations just like this…
(• …I can hear your thoughts, remember? …Haaaaa. Listen closely: •)

|∆ Hidden Achievements ∆|
Definition:
Hidden achievements are secret objectives that aren't listed in the system. They're often triggered by unusual or emotional circumstances, and offer bonus rewards when completed.
In other words: Sometimes, doing cool or emotionally impactful things = surprise loot!
---
|∆ Skill Unlocked ∆|
Instrumental Summoning -
Utilize your life energy—granted by your skill "Immortality"—to create and summon musical instruments as needed. You must have the instrument unlocked beforehand.
Current Instruments Unlocked:
Voice
Piano
Violin

Lyra was grinning from ear to ear, practically vibrating in place. She totally skimmed the part about hidden achievements—she'd leave that up to fate! But summoning her own custom instruments? That was next-level cool!
"Maybe I can make a bubble-shooting ukulele with rainbow strings and a glittery aura—"
(• Instruments can't do special effects, Lyra. Only appearance are customizable. •)
Her dreams of a bubble-blasting ukulele died a swift and tragic death.
Lyra pouted, crossing her arms.
"Fine. But my instruments are still going to look super duper fabulous."
Now, there was only one thing left to do—obviously.
Time for a spending spree.
There was absolutely no point in hoarding all those Fame Points. She could already imagine the treasures waiting in the store...
But just as she was about to command the Great Sage to open the shop interface, a voice called out to her.
"Lyra!" Genzo shouted from a distance, jogging up the path. "The Straw Hats are waiting at the port—they're about to set sail!"
Lyra froze mid-pose, one hand still dramatically outstretched toward the heavens, ready to summon the shop menu.
"Wait—what did Genzo say?!"
She spun around, panic rising. "The Straw Hats are leaving?! Now?!"
She summoned her wings and fluttered frantically as she tried to take off—only to immediately spin out mid-air like a confused hummingbird and crash straight into a tree.
"Ow… stupid wings , I really need to practice more." She groaned, pulling herself up by a branch. "Okay, so flying is out."
She turned to Chastifol that was floating beside her.It poofed into a soft, floating cushion.She hopped on dramatically.
"Onward, My pillow steed!"
The pillow drifted forward at an excruciatingly slow pace.
"…This is not dramatic enough!!" she shouted, hopping off.
With wide, determined eyes, she turned behind her.
That left only one option.
"Chastifol." Her voice was dead serious "Spirit Spear Chastifol : Fourth form Guardian"
The ground trembled.
With an adorable yet ominous PUUUUUUUUU!, An enormous teddy bear mount burst from the trees, eyes glowing and stitched mouth curved in a derpy grin.
Lyra leapt on top, pointing forward like a general charging into battle.
"TO THE PORT! RUN LIKE YOU'RE LATE FOR A LIMITED-TIME SALE!"
---
Meanwhile, aboard the Going Merry…
Luffy leaned over the railing, his usual grin gone.
"She's really not coming, huh…"
Usopp sighed dramatically. "I was sure she'd make it in the most sparkly, explosive way possible."
Sanji lit a cigarette, a somber breeze blowing his bangs. "Guess we were wrong."
Nami crossed her arms, a strange flicker of guilt in her eyes. "She might still be upset about destroying that forest."
Zoro looked away from them all. "…She's not the type to say goodbye properly anyway."
Silence.
"WAIT—WHAT IS THAT?!"
A giant figure crested the hill, barreling toward them in an explosion of sparkles, flower petals, and violent teddy bear bounce.
"IS THAT—?!" Usopp pointed, slack-jawed.
Luffy's grin came back with a vengeance. "IT'S LYRA!!"
From the hilltop, Lyra rose heroically on Chastifol's head, hair flying in the wind like a shounen protagonist.
"STRAW HATS!!" she shouted. "DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE WITHOUT MY DRAMATIC FAREWELL!"
---
Moments later, she skidded to a stop at the very edge of the pier, panting but triumphant.
Luffy laughed so hard he nearly fell off the ship. "LYRA! You made it!"
"Duh," she wheezed, striking a pose. "I never miss my own finale."
"Come with us!" Luffy shouted. "Join my crew!"
She beamed—but shook her head. "Nah… I've got things to figure out. But when we meet again, I expect more adventures, more choas, and most of all a spa and a fairy garden "
Nami narrowed her eyes. "More chaos?!"
Lyra winked. "Always."
As the ship began to drift off, the crew waved. Lyra cupped her hands around her mouth and yelled,
"MAKE SURE NOT TO GET BEATEN UP BEFORE WE MEET AGAIN, OR I'LL HAVE TO COME SAVE YOU MYSELF!"
"WE WON'T IM GONNA BE THE PIRATE KING AFTER ALL!" Luffy shouted back, fists in the air.
"FAIRY QUEEN OUT!!" she shouted, attempting a backflip and landing in a bush with a squeaky "ow."
Chastifol quickly turned into a pillow and caught her.

Authors notes-
I hope the system isn't to complex , I had a hard time designing a music system after all I don't have many examples to go off but I can't think of anything better than this.
This is the end of the cocyashi island arc , As for the rest I've decided to go back to the islands that Luffy behind and then they will meet up again on the grand line . Lyra is not ready to join the straw hats yet and this is Lyra's story in the one piece world so I'm not following there canon but she will still get involved in major events in her own fair queen way
