Recently, the number of TikTok videos has exploded exponentially, leading to the emergence of various top lists such as the TikTok Hot List, Same Island List, Live Stream List, Sales List, Brand List, and more.
Among them, Empress Hancock ranked first on various lists, but besides her, many newcomers also entered the rankings.
Sales List: The top three spots were all occupied by Amazon Lily, with others only appearing from fourth place onwards.
Fourth place: Alvida's Second-Hand Clothing Store, specializing in worn clothes with guaranteed authenticity!
Brand List: Second place: Chopper Brand Potions, high quality, low price, and guaranteed efficacy!
Many other newcomers have also made it onto the lists, and the overall quality of TikTok videos is rapidly increasing!
...
During this period,
a video quickly went viral on TikTok, its popularity directly landing it on TikTok's hot search.
Video Title: "Pirate King"
Uploader: Luffy
Video Content: It's over, we've declared war on the Shichibukai!
The video content was roughly as follows:
The Straw Hat Pirates arrived at Whiskey Peak, a bar that was ostensibly for gathering information, but was actually full of pirates. They got the Straw Hat Crew drunk and knocked them out, ultimately leading to Zoro's invincible feat of slicing a hundred men!
After the fight video montage ended, the scene switched, and Nami appeared on screen, looking dejected: "Good thing I was careful and didn't get drunk, otherwise those guys would have succeeded. But we've also landed ourselves in big trouble."
Suddenly, a blue-haired beauty appeared in the frame,
"Hello everyone, it's all my fault for letting the Straw Hat Crew get targeted by Crocodile of the Shichibukai."
The blue-haired beauty Vivi appeared, marking her first appearance on TikTok.
Although she had used her phone before, to keep her identity hidden, she had never filmed videos or even commented; she simply scrolled through videos for entertainment.
But now the situation had changed; her identity was exposed. Without a doubt, by this time tomorrow, Crocodile would know of her existence and would surely send people to kill her.
At this moment, Luffy snatched the phone, yelling angrily at the screen: "Crocodile, you bastard, how could you harm Vivi like this? I will definitely send you flying!"
Then, the other members of the Straw Hat Crew appeared one by one, but all of them looked troubled and lacked any fighting spirit.
After all, they had just set sail and were about to fight the legendary Shichibukai. What new pirate crew wouldn't be afraid!
But now they had nowhere to hide; they could only face the challenge!
In fact, before uploading this video, the Straw Hat Pirates had given it deep thought.
Clearly, this video was a declaration of war against Crocodile of the Shichibukai. Once uploaded, they would have no retreat.
But for Vivi, for the justice in their hearts, and also for the one billion Belli reward Nami wanted,
they took the job!
However, this time the video ended with Nami's segment:
"The Straw Hat Pirates' Road to Advancement, follow us and let's defeat the nation-overthrowing Shichibukai Crocodile together!"
Logically, Zoro should have delivered the ending for this video, but Zoro wasn't interested and was too lazy to say it, so Nami's closing remarks were used instead.
As soon as the video was released, it immediately caused a huge stir on TikTok.
After Luffy shouted, "He wants to become Pirate King" last time, many people started following them.
Now they finally waited for the Straw Hat Crew to update their video, and they were ready to watch the show.
"I have to say Nami has a great figure, she ranks second in my book!"
"A bunch of kids playing house. You'll only know what real pirates are when you can reach the New World!"
"These kids dare to go after Crocodile? I think they're tired of living, that's a Shichibukai!"
"One hundred-man slayer, that's Zoro's achievement. What are you jumping around for, Luffy!"
"You wet-behind-the-ears kid, I'm the one who's going to be Pirate King. Tell me where you are, don't worry, I don't mean anything else, I just want to say hello to you guys."
"Pirate King? Get out of the way, don't block the camera, we want to see the navigator Nami!"
"Nami is still beautiful. How could such a beautiful lady end up with such an idiotic Captain."
...
The video's discussion heat was very high, and at the same time, the Straw Hat Pirates' fan base was rapidly growing, already exceeding a hundred thousand followers.
However, anti-fans accounted for a large portion of them, all coming to watch the spectacle. After all, such idiotic newcomers are rare, and everyone wanted to see how long they could last.
...
At the same time,
at the entrance of the Grand Line, waves gently lapped against a warship, slowly entering the turbulent waters.
On the deck, Smoker stood by the ship's rail, a cigar held between his fingers, slowly exhaling a puff of smoke that gradually dissipated into the sea breeze.
At this moment, he expressionlessly finished watching the Straw Hat Pirates' latest video.
In the video, the Straw Hat Pirates had just left Whiskey Peak. The familiar scene made Smoker's lips curl slightly, revealing a cold smile.
"Hmph! Just left Whiskey Peak? Good, I finally know where you went."
Beside him, Tashigi's eyes flashed with excitement, "Mr. Smoker, should we immediately order a pursuit?"
Smoker's gaze shifted from the video to the sea, "That's right, full speed ahead! I want to personally capture that Luffy guy and wash away my previous disgrace. I absolutely cannot let others know that such an idiotic fellow escaped from under my nose!"
Tashigi paused, she could feel Smoker's anger.
That day, she accidentally walked in on Smoker having a video call with Colonel Hina.
Because Luffy had previously shown his face in a live stream, Hina also knew of his existence, and somehow even learned that he was Vice Admiral Garp's grandson, which made her even more curious about Luffy.
Then, when she learned from Smoker that a newcomer like Luffy had escaped from him, Hina laughed at Smoker for a long time!
One didn't even need to think to know how embarrassed Smoker was at the time; he wished he could crush his phone, but he used all his strength and the phone remained undamaged...
From that day on, Tashigi noticed that Smoker was glued to his phone from morning till night, specifically watching for updates on the Straw Hat Crew's TikTok account.
Finally, he had waited for it!
So, Smoker's anger was not hard to understand.
Tashigi nodded solemnly in response: "Understood, I'll issue the order now." She turned and quickly walked towards the communication room, ready to relay Smoker's command to the entire crew.
As Tashigi's order was given, the warship's engine roared instantly, the massive hull began to accelerate, and the propellers at the stern churned the seawater, raising a flurry of white foam.
The sea wind howled, and the warship charged forward at full speed, pursuing in the direction of Straw Hat Luffy!
