"I know him. That guy is brutal and tyrannical. Not long ago, a group of pirates attacked his country, and he just abandoned it and ran away! I didn't expect him to be here!"
"Holy cow! Does such a scumbag deserve to live? Everyone give me 50 Belli, and I'll go kill him right now to save the ocean's air."
"Everyone, I'll do it cheaper. I'm near Drum Kingdom. For only 20 Belli, I'll livestream getting rid of this trash!"
Seeing these comments, Wapol didn't even dare to fart. He had long since run off to who knows where.
Ron was slightly shocked. There truly were talented people among the masses.
In just a few short minutes, someone had grasped the true essence of livestreaming!
It seemed he had underestimated the pirate world, and his expectations for the future had increased significantly.
"Alright, friends, the livestream ends here. I hope everyone's videos get better and better. See you next time."
Afterward, Ron ended the livestream. He hoped that future videos would improve and diversify, making TikTok more and more interesting. Otherwise, relying solely on suggestive content would never go far.
Suggestive content is merely a style, not a method.
...
At the same time,
Marineford Vice Admiral Dormitory Area.
This is where the Vice Admirals reside. In a Marine Base, once promoted to the rank of Vice Admiral, one is allocated a corresponding residence, and the same applies to Admirals. Ordinary Marines can only live in multi-person dorms, and even more so, those doing miscellaneous tasks can only live in open barracks.
At this moment, inside a certain room, the environment was quite tidy.
Garp sat grandly on the sofa, happily shoveling rice crackers into his mouth, occasionally taking a sip of wine. His life was truly comfortable.
It was just that in this era, there were no televisions or entertainment programs.
Aside from some old newspapers, there was no form of entertainment.
Garp glanced at the newspaper on the table from several days ago and frowned, "What's wrong with Bogart? No new newspapers have been delivered for several days in a row."
Just as he picked up an old newspaper to pass the time, the door knocked loudly.
Immediately after, Bogart pushed open the door and hastily walked in.
Only he had this privilege; anyone else would probably have been sent flying by a punch from Garp.
"Bogart? Why are you coming to find this old man late at night instead of resting?" Garp asked, seeing Bogart's flustered appearance. "Could it be that one of the Four Emperors attacked Marineford?"
"Mr. Garp, there's… there's an urgent matter!!!!" Bogart quickly pulled out his phone, which was playing the scene where Luffy said he wanted to be the Pirate King.
"Mr. Garp, please take a look." The video was a screen recording by Bogart.
Ever since he got the phone, he had been cooped up in his room for several days, figuring out how to use it, which was why he hadn't delivered newspapers to Garp. As a result, Garp still had no concept of a phone.
"What, how did Luffy get sucked into this little thing? What kind of Devil Fruit ability is this?" Garp was furious, reaching out to snatch the phone and "rescue" Luffy.
"Wait! Mr. Garp!" Bogart instantly retracted his right hand, explaining with lingering fear, "Mr. Garp, this is a phone! It's not some Devil Fruit ability!"
"A phone? What's a phone?" Garp looked utterly confused.
Seeing Garp's confused expression, Bogart slapped his forehead. "Oh no, I forgot to report such an important matter." He looked apologetically at Garp. "Mr. Garp, I thought I had already reported it, so I…"
"Get to the point. What's going on with your phone? How is Luffy in there, saying such rebellious things? It seems it's time to go find that kid and let him taste the Iron Fist of Love!" Garp was somewhat angry.
That kid Luffy just needed a beating, but seeing that he looked healthy and well, Garp suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, truly worthy of being this old man's grandson!"
Bogart: ??? He hadn't even explained the reason, why was the old man suddenly laughing?
But he still began to explain the phone: "Mr. Garp, a phone is a new entertainment tool that has recently emerged. It's such a small thing, yet it gathers video records from people all over the world. Everyone can film and upload videos, which are then seen by everyone. Those who watch can also comment, like, share, and so on. Simply put, it's like a platform that connects many people!"
"Connect? Like making calls with a Den Den Mushi?" Garp looked at the small device in Bogart's hand, his face full of disbelief.
"Of course you can make calls, and you can even do video calls like a visual Den Den Mushi." Bogart had completely understood how to use TikTok; otherwise, he wouldn't have watched Ron's livestream.
"Wait, wait." Garp waved his hand, looking shocked. "Are you saying this thing can let people see what's happening all over the world? And connect with people?"
"That's right, Mr. Garp." Bogart nodded.
"Wait a moment, I'll show you." Bogart said, clicking on messages.
The follow list included Helmeppo, Koby, Onigumo, Smoker, and so on.
He finally clicked on Koby's chat box.
"Mr. Garp, if you click on the video call option within the + sign, you can see Koby on the phone and talk to him," Bogart explained.
"Are you serious?" Garp looked at Bogart suspiciously, his expression still unconvinced.
"Of course." Bogart dialed a video call to Koby.
After a few beeps, the video connected, and Koby and Helmeppo appeared on the phone.
"Officer Bogart, so late, you…" Before he could finish, Garp's large face squeezed into view, startling both of them.
"V-Vice Admiral Garp!!!" Koby and Helmeppo were instantly stunned.
Garp looked around in confusion, his eyes filled with shock. This little thing could really show Koby, and it was the real Koby?
"Hey! Are you the real Koby?" Garp asked.
???? Koby was completely bewildered. What was going on? Did Vice Admiral Garp not recognize him?
At this moment, Bogart smiled, "It's nothing, Koby. Get some rest. Don't be late for tomorrow's eighty-kilometer cross-country run."
"Yes!" Koby saluted in confusion.
"Understood!" Helmeppo also had the presence of mind to react, giving a salute.
Bogart nodded in satisfaction, hung up the video, and turned to Garp. "Mr. Garp, do you believe it now?"
"It's quite impressive." Garp nodded.
"It's not just that; it also has a powerful camera function, and the photos taken can be zoomed in. It's incredibly convenient for us to gather intelligence, and communication between soldiers is also much easier."
Bogart continued to show Garp the phone's other functions. Garp's eyes lit up as he listened, and then, while Bogart wasn't paying attention, he snatched the phone away:
"Hahaha, such a fun phone, let this old man play with it for a while."
