----------
The sunlight shone on his body, giving his outline a golden edge, making him look particularly dazzling.
"Retreat... retreat!" The captain's hands began to shake. "Anyone who can use a Sea King as a mount must be either a Shichibukai or... at least a strong one."
But the trainee pirates on the ship had already excitedly pulled out their phones. "Boss! This is perfect material!"
He hurriedly opened TikTok and pointed the camera at the shocking scene in the distance. "The curious track will definitely be popular!"
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!" The other pirates also took out their mobile phones and started filming.
Although the captain was afraid, when he saw his men were so enthusiastic, he took out his mobile phone and started filming.
Soon, their video was sent successfully.
Everyone held their breath waiting for the traffic to burst, but suddenly the screen went black.
[You are suspected of posting illegal videos, and the official will ban your account.]
[Countdown to the ban period: 99th day of the 99th month of the 99th year!]
"What the hell?!" The entire ship of pirates went into a state of panic.
The trainee pirate frantically clicked on the screen, trying to save the situation, but there was only one line of small words on the screen: "This account is permanently banned for filming forbidden content."
The captain snatched the phone away, his face pale. "What did we take a picture of? Just a guy riding a Sea King..."
The voice stopped suddenly, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He realized that they might have made someone angry that they shouldn't have.
A chuckle suddenly came from the sea, with a hint of ridicule and disdain in the voice.
Everyone looked back in horror and found that the Sea King had swum away at some point, leaving only a long trail of water.
The sunlight shining on the sparkling sea is particularly dazzling.
When the sea calmed down, the only sound on the pirate ship was the wailing.
"My account!"
"My thirty fans!"
"The account I have maintained for so long is gone, my goddess!"
The pirates all looked pale. They had not expected that a seemingly ordinary photo shoot would lead to such serious consequences.
They looked at the mobile phones in their hands, and the account ban information displayed on the screen was like a bolt from the blue, making them lose all hope in an instant.
"...."
...
The island was covered in mist in the early morning, and the sunlight shining through the mist looked particularly soft.
Ron stretched and stood up from his makeshift bed of palm leaves.
The giant Sea King was curled up in the shallows. When it saw him wake up, it immediately sprayed out a small column of water in a flattering manner. The splashing waves reflected colorful light under the morning sun.
"Pretty good." Ron casually threw it a fish bone left over from last night, but the Sea King held it carefully as if it had found a treasure, with a look of anticipation in its eyes.
At this moment, the system prompt sounded in my mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the number of TikTok users has exceeded 100 million!]
[Do you want to upgrade?]
"Upgrade!" Ron answered without hesitation, and then an illusory screen appeared in front of him that only he could see.
[Upgrade completion countdown: 0 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds.]
"Do we need to wait another hour?" Ron paused slightly. On the translucent blue light screen, the progress bar was slowly moving forward.
The system's notification tone made him feel helpless. "The system also does this? Forget it, forget it, let's eat first since things have come to this."
After a while, the aroma of barbecue drifted, the Sea King meat on the grill sizzled, and the fat dripping into the fire splashed sparks.
Ron took a deep breath and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. "This tastes really good."
He picked up a piece of golden roasted meat, took a light bite, and the rich aroma filled his mouth.
Ron then took out his phone and started checking the latest updates on TikTok.
When he saw the amazing fan growth curve of Zephyr's account, he whistled. "Brother really has the potential to become a big internet celebrity."
The number of fans increased to 10 million overnight!
The degree of terror is only slightly less than that of the original empress, which shows that people's patience with the Marines has reached the breaking point.
In the hot comments section, a comment was pushed to the top, and the number of likes was still soaring at a rate of hundreds per second.
"Don't they know whether the Neo Marines are good or not? They have endured the Marines for so many years, and finally Neo Marines came, but you say it is not regular. Don't we know whether it is regular or not?"
Ron chewed his barbecue and laughed vaguely. "Everyone in the comment section is really talented!"
Suddenly, a video became a hot topic on TikTok at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Posted by: Blackbeard Teach.
Title: So what if you are an Emperor? So what if the bounty is sky-high? I'm the next Shichibukai!
"Marshall D. Teach?" Ron squinted his eyes and clicked on the video.
In the picture, Blackbeard is standing next to a huge rock, and next to him is Ace who is handcuffed with seastone.
"Look, this is what happens to those who chased me, Blackbeard!" There was a hint of pride in Blackbeard's voice and a bit of arrogance in his eyes.
"Zehahahaha!" His iconic laughter made the phone vibrate. "What are the Emperors? What is the sky-high bounty? I'm going to hand him over to the Marines right now and make myself one of the Shichibukai!"
The video ends with Blackbeard, with the crew behind him dragging Ace onto the pirate ship step by step.
The comment section exploded instantly. Many people did not expect this result. This guy actually survived the whole network's pursuit and even counterattacked!
Capture Whitebeard's captain Ace alive!
This is outrageous!
"Are you kidding me? The captain of the Whitebeard Pirates is so useless?"
"It's so embarrassing to be captured alive by this ugly guy!"
"What about the Shichibukai? Is this guy disconnected from the internet? Everyone wants to kill the Shichibukai now."
"I think some of the Shichibukai are good, like my goddess, Empress Hancock~~"
"Hahaha, I've already entered the Empress's foundry."
"Damn, bro, is that you, the security guard at the door?"
"..."
Watching this video, Ron's barbecue fork froze in mid-air. He looked up at the horizon and saw that the system countdown showed only 30 minutes left.
But the sky had darkened, and it was not dark clouds, but countless news birds flying towards Marine Headquarters.
The wings of these news birds gleamed in the sunlight, heralding the coming of a storm.
"Things are going to change..." Ron whispered to himself, with a hint of worry in his voice. "Is the war at the top coming early?"
A complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He knew that once the war broke out, it would cause turmoil in the entire ocean.
"That's not good. In this case, mobile phones still can't solve the violence in the pirate world." Ron fell into deep thought.
He originally hoped that through the power of TikTok and mobile phones, more people would see the truth and reduce unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings.
However, Blackbeard's move made the situation more complicated.
The Sea King seemed to sense the change in atmosphere as well, and it slapped the water surface with its tail fins nervously, making low chirping sounds.
Ron patted its head gently and said soothingly. "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
