"Ah, Garp, this is my phone! If you want one, I can buy you one tomorrow," Bogart said with difficulty.
But Garp clearly didn't care: "I'm just looking. Are you afraid I won't give it back to you?"
"..." Bogart was speechless.
Garp chuckled, put aside the senbei he wasn't eating, and started playing with the phone: "You said it was so fun, I'll try it too."
With that, he opened TikTok.
The familiar musical note icon appeared, followed by a beautiful woman on the screen, wearing high-waisted stockings and revealing long, fair, slender legs, with a thin, silky veil subtly revealing and concealing, instantly captivating anyone who saw her!
"Pfft!!! Bogart, who is this?!" Garp's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.
"This... this, this, this..." Bogart's face instantly turned bright red with embarrassment.
"I didn't expect you to like watching these things. You're usually so cool; I thought you liked men," Garp teased.
"..." Bogart was so embarrassed he wished he could find a crack in the ground and disappear forever. "That, Garp, I..."
"It's fine, no need to explain. I've been through it all; what don't I understand?" Garp smiled indifferently.
He then swiped, and another beautiful woman popped up, with skin so delicate it seemed it could break with a touch, fair and smooth as water, and continuously jiggling large breasts that made one's mouth dry. Dressed in a JK skirt, she exuded youth and vitality, with two ponytails, energetically dancing "Little Pinwheel"!
[Are you ready?]
[Come with me!]
[Evil Dragon Roar~ Awoo!]
The explosive music, coupled with the sweet, tender voice of a young girl, made Bogart feel like he was on a hot stove!
"Hehe, let's go, let's go, I like... uh... I mean, I'm relieved about you, Bogart," Garp said earnestly.
Bogart's expression was more uncomfortable than if he had eaten a dead mouse. Are you really relieved about me?!
Garp chuckled, and without looking up, he dismissed Bogart: "Bogart, I'm a bit tired today and want to rest early. If there's nothing else, you can go back."
"..." Bogart looked at the phone longingly.
He had said he would only play for a while, but Garp never gave it back. The price of the phone wasn't important; what mattered was that the high-quality resources he had spent days browsing for were now gone just like that.
"Garp, am I really leaving?" Bogart asked tentatively.
"Go," Garp said without looking up, still staring at the phone.
Bogart sighed and reluctantly turned to leave, thinking to himself: It seems this phone isn't coming back...
....
White Island,
A desolate and silent place, rarely visited by people. Everything on the island is white, whether it's the rocks or the sand, and even the sky appears exceptionally pale.
There's no vegetation on the island; it's bare and lifeless, completely unsuitable for habitation.
Precisely for this reason, it became the secret stronghold of the Revolutionary Army.
Koala excitedly held her phone and knocked on Dragon's office door: "Dragon, Dragon!"
"Come in," Dragon's voice came from inside the room, calm and authoritative.
Koala pushed open the door and ran in, her face flushed with excitement, clearly in a very agitated mood.
However, when she saw Sabo sitting beside Dragon in the room, she paused: "Oh? Sabo? You're here too!"
Sabo usually trained intensely whenever he had time and rarely appeared in such settings.
"Yes, something came up."
Koala nodded. Though surprised, she quickly shifted her attention back to Dragon: "Dragon, did you watch the live stream just now?"
Dragon shook his head and pointed to Sabo: "No time. Sabo came to me for advice on some techniques and moves." He paused, then added: "What's wrong? Did something interesting happen? The creator of this TikTok app is not simple; they actually made this phone."
Dragon played with the phone in his hand, a hint of wonder on his face.
Regardless of its other uses, its durability alone was already unbeatable.
He even had an urge to take the phone apart and study it thoroughly.
However, he tried various methods, but the phone remained unmoving, not even leaving a single mark.
"Didn't... didn't watch???" Koala was slightly stunned, her bewildered expression causing Dragon to frown slightly. Had he really missed something?
Koala felt a bit regretful.
After watching the live stream, she only then remembered that she should have recorded the video, and she certainly hadn't expected to see Luffy on it!
"Dragon, is your son named Luffy? Monkey D. Luffy?" Koala asked tentatively.
"Yes, why?" Dragon replied calmly.
"What happened to Luffy?" Sabo, who was nearby, heard that something had happened to Luffy, and his expression instantly turned serious, his gaze fixed on Koala.
Koala shook her head, but then immediately nodded, leaving both men unsure whether Luffy was in trouble or not.
"It's Luffy! I just saw Luffy when I was watching the live stream!" Koala finally got to the point.
"Live stream? Saw Luffy?" Dragon and Sabo were both surprised at the same time, clearly not expecting Luffy to appear in a live broadcast.
"It's true." Koala then recounted in detail what she had seen of Luffy in the live stream, including the line Luffy had shouted at the top of his lungs: "I'm the man who's going to be the Pirate King!" Her imitation was so vivid that it made both men burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, as expected of Luffy, that's truly his personality," Dragon laughed.
"He acts without considering any consequences; this younger brother really doesn't make things easy," Sabo also couldn't help but shake his head, a smile on his lips.
Koala was a bit anxious, looking at the two men laughing heartily, confused: "Aren't you worried about Luffy's safety? Now almost the whole world knows that Luffy wants to be the Pirate King; he's bound to face many dangers!"
"What's there to worry about? Luffy won't let others help him; one's own dream should be defended by oneself," Sabo said.
"Don't worry about him, Koala," Dragon smiled slightly, a hint of reassurance in his tone, "How can a person grow without experiencing some setbacks? You have to believe in the will of the wind."
Koala wanted to say more, but seeing the trust and composure on Dragon and Sabo's faces, she eventually said no more.
Perhaps, as they said, Luffy always finds a way out of difficulties, just as he always has.
"Also, how are things going with what I tasked you with?" Dragon's tone remained calm, his gaze directed at Koala.
