"I know him, that guy is cruel and tyrannical. Not long ago, a group of pirates attacked his country, and he just abandoned it and ran away! I can't believe that guy is here!"
"Holy crap! Does scum like this deserve to live? Everyone give me 50 Berries, and I'll go kill him right now to save the air in the sea."
"Everyone, I'm cheaper! I'm near the Drum Kingdom, only 20 Berries, and I'll livestream getting rid of this trash!"
Seeing these comments, Wapol didn't even dare to speak. He had already run off to who knows where.
Ron was slightly shocked in his heart. There were indeed talented people among the masses.
In just a few minutes, someone had grasped the true meaning of live streaming!
It seemed he had underestimated the pirate world, and his anticipation for the future had also 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, so that TikTok would become more interesting. Relying solely on suggestive content would never last long.
Suggestive content is just a method, not a strategy.
Meanwhile,
Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Dormitory Area.
This is the residence for Vice Admirals. At Marine bases, as long as you are promoted to the rank of Vice Admiral, you are assigned a corresponding residence, and the same goes for Admirals. Ordinary Marines can only live in multi-person dormitories, and those doing chores can only live in large communal rooms.
At this moment, inside a certain room, the environment was quite tidy.
Garp sat sprawled on the sofa, happily shoveling handfuls of rice crackers into his mouth, occasionally taking a sip of sake. He was living a very comfortable life.
However, there was no television or entertainment programs in this era.
Apart from some old newspapers, there was nothing for entertainment.
Garp glanced at the newspaper on the table from several days ago and frowned. "What's wrong with Bogard? He hasn't delivered any new newspapers for several days."
Just as he picked up the old newspaper to pass the time, there was a loud "bang bang bang" at the door.
Immediately after, Bogard pushed open the door and hurried in.
Only he had this qualification; if it were anyone else, they would probably have been punched away by Garp long ago.
"Bogard? What are you doing here looking for me so late at night?" Garp looked at Bogard's flustered appearance and asked in confusion. "Could it be that a Four Emperor has attacked Marine Headquarters?"
"Mr. Garp, there's... there's an urgent matter!!!!" Bogard quickly took out his phone, which was playing the scene of Luffy saying he wanted to become the Pirate King.
"Mr. Garp, take a look." The video was a screen recording by Bogard.
Since getting 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, leaving Garp with no concept of what a phone was until now.
"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!" Bogard instantly pulled back his right hand and explained with lingering fear. "Mr. Garp, this is a phone! It's not some Devil Fruit ability!"
"Phone? What is a phone?" Garp was full of confusion.
Seeing Garp's confused expression, Bogard finally slapped his forehead. "Oh dear, such an important matter, and I actually forgot to report it." He looked at Garp apologetically. "Mr. Garp, I thought I had reported it, so that's why..."
"Get to the point, what's going on with your phone? How is Luffy in there, and saying such rebellious things? It seems it's time to go find that brat and let him taste the fist of love!" Garp was a bit angry.
That brat Luffy just needed a beating, but seeing that he was in good spirits, healthy and sound, he suddenly laughed. "Bwahahaha, worthy of being my grandson!"
Bogard: ??? He hadn't explained the reason yet, why was the old man suddenly laughing?
However, he still began to explain the phone. "Mr. Garp, the phone is a newly emerging entertainment tool. This small device gathers video recordings from people all over the world. Everyone can record videos and upload them to be seen by everyone. Those who see them can also comment, like, share, etc. Simply put, it's like a platform that connects many people!"
"Connect? Like making calls with a Den Den Mushi?" Garp looked at the little gadget in Bogard's hand, his face full of disbelief.
"Of course you can make calls, and you can also have video calls like an Image Den Den Mushi." Bogard had completely figured out how to use TikTok, otherwise, he wouldn't have finished watching Ron's livestream.
"Wait, wait." Garp waved his hand, his face full of shock. "Are you saying this thing can let people see what's happening all over the world? And also connect with people?"
"That's right, Mr. Garp." Bogard nodded.
"Wait a minute, I'll show you." Bogard said, tapping on messages.
His following list included Helmeppo, Coby, Onigumo, Smoker, and others.
He finally tapped on Coby's chat box.
"Mr. Garp, by tapping the video call in the + sign, you can see Coby in the phone and talk to him," Bogard explained.
"Are you telling the truth?" Garp looked at Bogard suspiciously, but his expression still showed disbelief.
"Of course." Bogard made a video call to Coby.
After a few beeps, the video connected, and Coby and Helmeppo appeared on the phone.
"Officer Bogard, it's so late, you..." Before he could finish, Garp's big face squeezed in, startling the two of them.
"Ga!! Vice Admiral Garp!!!" Coby and Helmeppo were instantly stunned.
Garp looked around in confusion, his eyes full of shock. This little thing really could show Coby, and it was the real Coby?
"Hey! Are you the real Coby?" Garp asked.
???? Coby was completely bewildered. What was going on? Did Vice Admiral Garp not recognize him anymore?
At this moment, Bogard smiled. "It's nothing, Coby. Get some rest. You can't be late for the eighty-kilometer cross-country run tomorrow morning."
"Yes, sir!" Coby saluted in a daze.
"Yes, sir!" Helmeppo also reacted quickly with good judgment and saluted.
Bogard nodded in satisfaction, hung up the video, and turned to Garp. "Mr. Garp, do you believe it now?"
"It's a bit impressive." Garp nodded.
"It's more than that. It also has a powerful camera function, and the photos taken can be zoomed in. It's extremely convenient for us to gather intelligence, and communication between soldiers is also much easier."
Bogard continued to show Garp the phone's other functions. Garp's eyes lit up as he listened, and then, while Bogard wasn't paying attention, he snatched the phone away.
"Bwahahaha, such a fun phone, let me play with it for a while."
