"Hmph! To put a bounty on me, the nerve!"
When he opened TikTok and saw that he had become a wanted man across the entire network, his fleshy face instantly turned pale.
"Zehahahaha..." His laughter clearly lacked confidence. "These fools... they don't understand my dream at all..."
Before he could finish speaking, over a dozen pursuing ships appeared on the horizon.
Teach jumped up in a panic. "Set sail quickly! Now!" His subordinates fumbled to untie the ropes, while pirates in the island's tavern, comparing their phones to the video, had already recognized him.
Meanwhile, Ace was sailing at full speed in a small boat he had borrowed temporarily.
He scrolled through the constant stream of updated clues on TikTok, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Teach, let's see where you can run to this time!"
Flames jetted from the stern, pushing the small boat through the waves like an arrow shot from a bow.
The entire sea was boiling because of this bounty video, countless eyes fixed on their phone screens, searching for the whereabouts of that black, fat man with missing teeth.
The favor of the Whitebeard Pirates was like a giant magnet, attracting all greedy or ambitious gazes.
Teach hid in a dark cave on a remote island, water droplets dripping from the damp rock walls onto his newly bought phone.
His thick, short fingers clumsily slid across the screen, and when he saw:
#BlackbeardTeachBountyOrder#, large beads of sweat immediately rolled down his forehead.
"Zehahahaha..." His laughter was dry and forced, his fingers shaking uncontrollably. "W-what kind of joke is this..."
On the screen, his wanted video had already passed 200 million views, and the comment section was full of messages threatening to take his life.
Suddenly, a recently posted video caught his attention.
The owner of a small tavern had secretly filmed him drinking yesterday, and the location clearly showed the coordinates of this island!
The video had only been posted for ten minutes, but already hundreds of replies indicated that people were on their way.
"Damn it!" Teach jumped up suddenly, his body knocking over a nearby wine barrel.
He frantically packed his belongings, while shouting to his subordinate keeping watch outside the cave. "Laffitte! Prepare to set sail quickly! We've been discovered!"
Laffitte hurried in, leaning on his cane, his face equally grim. "Captain, three unfamiliar ships have appeared in the harbor, all holding phones and comparing something..."
Teach gritted his teeth and shoved his phone into his chest, dark energy angrily overflowing from his body, corroding the surrounding rocks into hissing pits.
He never dreamed that this small metal square would make it impossible for him to move an inch in the New World!
"Interesting..." He forced a smile, but his eyes were filled with anger. "Once I get that power... I'll definitely... this damn TikTok..."
Before he could finish speaking, the roar of cannon fire came from the distance.
Teach dared not delay any further, and fled in a panic with his subordinates towards the hidden small boat.
As the small boat quietly left the shore in the night, Teach looked back at the long line of torches gradually gathering on the island.
Each of the pursuers held a phone, the screen lights connecting in the darkness to form a terrifying sea of stars.
For the first time, he truly felt the horror of this new era...
"Faster! Head for the most remote route!" Teach roared at the helmsman, while secretly feeling glad that he had learned to use a phone beforehand.
At least now, he could use TikTok to detect the movements of his pursuers in advance.
This realization made him laugh in a twisted way. "Zehahahaha... Let's see who's playing who!"
.....
In the huge party hall on Onigashima, Kaido leaned drunkenly on his throne, his thick fingers poking at the phone screen.
There was a hint of drunkenness in his eyes, but also a touch of boredom.
When he scrolled to Whitebeard's bounty video, his dragon-like eyes suddenly got smaller, and he immediately became interested, two streams of white mist coming from his nostrils.
In the video, Whitebeard's majestic face looked somewhat tired, but his eyes still held an unquestionable authority.
"Worororororo..." Kaido took a gulp of strong liquor, the liquid dripping down his chin with a "drip-drop" sound.
"That old man Whitebeard, he can't even control his own son!" There was a hint of disdain in his voice, and a touch of provocation in his eyes.
He swiped heavily on the screen with his thumb, leaving an arrogant comment.
[Your own pirate crew has a traitor, Whitebeard, you're really pathetic!]
After posting the comment, Kaido still felt it wasn't enough, so he clicked the report button and poked several times fiercely on the "Violent and Bloody" option.
After doing all this, he then threw the phone to Bao Huang beside him. "Look! That's how you insult that Whitebeard guy."
Meanwhile, on the Moby Dick, Marco was scrolling through the comment section, searching for messages about Teach or other clues.
His eyes were focused and tense, his fingers sliding quickly across the screen.
When he saw Kaido's comment, blue flames instantly ignited from his body, his voice extremely angry. "Pops! That jerk Kaido actually dares to..."
Whitebeard waved his hand, signaling Marco to calm down.
He took the phone and looked at it, the corner of his mouth slowly rising, laughing and shaking his head. The Murakumogiri beside him gently tapped the ground, making a dull sound.
Under Marco's amazed gaze, Whitebeard, with an IV drip in his arm, lightly tapped the screen and replied.
[Kaido, be my son!]
And he attached a picture!
As soon as this reply was posted, the entire TikTok instantly exploded.
The number of likes soared at a visible speed, breaking through a million in the blink of an eye.
In the comment section, pirates from all walks of life were frantically watching:
"Emperor clashing online!"
"Whitebeard Pops is awesome!"
"Kaido-sama, fight back quickly!"
"..."
On Onigashima, Bao Huang shakily handed the phone back to Kaido. "B-boss, Whitebeard replied to you..."
There was a hint of tremor in his voice, and a touch of unease in his eyes.
Kaido narrowed his eyes and read the reply, then suddenly let out an earth-shaking roar that shook the entire Onigashima. "Whitebeard!!!"
He squeezed the phone tightly, dragon scales appearing from under his skin, his eyes filled with endless rage. "I'm going to kill you!!!"
King silently took two steps back, watching the enraged Kaido smash the party hall to pieces.
There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but also a touch of amusement. It had been a long time since he had seen Boss Kaido frustrated.
Looking at this, the confrontation between Kaido and Whitebeard was already unavoidable.
And Whitebeard, thousands of miles away, was leisurely drinking sake, watching the frantically refreshing comments and likes on TikTok, and letting out a hearty laugh. "Gurarararara... It seems I'm not too old to handle these newfangled things!"
This Emperor clash unfolding through TikTok made the entire New World hold its breath.
Countless pirates refreshed the page, waiting for Kaido's next response.
And the most miserable was Blackbeard Teach, caught in the middle. He desperately discovered that the turmoil he had caused had multiplied the number of people chasing him several times over...
