Before they could even be shocked, Queen casually found a user who had enabled TikTok Shop, clicked into his shop, and found that the items there were indeed cheap; each item only cost one hundred Belli!
"Then place the order!"
As he clicked to place the order, the entire hall suddenly fell into a strange silence; everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the phone in Queen's hand.
"Next is the moment to witness a miracle!" As soon as he finished speaking, the air about a meter above the phone began to distort, and a dark vortex appeared out of thin air, slowly rotating and emitting a mysterious glow.
"This… this is…" Who's-Who subconsciously took half a step back, his fingers instinctively touching the hilt of the sword at his waist, instantly entering combat mode!
Black Maria's red lips parted slightly, and her pipe slipped from her fingers unnoticed.
Even the usually calm King couldn't help but lean forward, his eyes behind his mask glinting with disbelief.
Kaido also widened his eyes; the vortex had appeared silently, and even he hadn't noticed when it materialized.
"Don't be nervous, it's just an item transmission channel." Queen motioned for the others to relax, "This is the magic of TikTok Shop; it can instantly deliver goods right to you!"
Upon hearing Queen's explanation, although still somewhat shocked, their tension eased slightly, and they looked at the spinning vortex with eyes full of wonder.
Just then,
A beautifully packaged robot toy suddenly dropped out of the vortex, landing with a "thump" at Queen's feet.
The sound was exceptionally crisp in the silent hall, startling Page One so much he almost jumped.
"Wah!" Ulti shrieked, instinctively hiding behind her brother, "Something popped out!"
Kaido abruptly stood up from his throne, his sake gourd clattering to the ground, his eyes wide: "What exactly is going on? Is this some kind of Devil Fruit ability?!"
Queen looked at everyone's panic, especially King's ghost-struck expression, and his heart was practically blooming with joy.
He deliberately slowed down as he picked up the toy, weighing it in his hand, the fat on his face trembling uncontrollably from stifling his laughter.
"Don't be nervous, everyone~" He stretched out his tone, proudly shaking his phone, "This is the amazing thing about TikTok Shop!"
He cleared his throat and began to explain: "As long as your followers reach 1000, you can enable the TikTok Shop function. This is like… uh… a portable store!"
He gestured clumsily: "The buyer places an order, the seller ships, and then the item can…" He pointed at the toy on the ground, "...be delivered directly to the buyer's hand, just like this! As for the principle…"
At this point, Queen shrugged, a hint of helplessness in his tone: "To be honest, even a genius scientist like me can't figure it out." He spread his hands, feeling very frustrated, "I've studied it carefully, but haven't figured out a single thing."
Then, he suddenly became excited again: "But that's not important! What's important is…" Queen suddenly raised his voice, spitting as he spoke: "This thing is even more amazing than a Devil Fruit! And anyone can use it!"
He stole a glance at King, finding him still immersed in shock, and immediately puffed out his beer belly proudly.
"Heh heh!!"
Who's-Who suddenly let out a disdainful sneer, which sounded particularly harsh in the silent hall.
"Since you can't figure it out…" His slender fingers squeezed the phone, veins bulging on the back of his bony hand, "Then let's just take it apart and see!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly tightened his grip, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the phone in his hand.
However, to everyone's surprise, the seemingly fragile phone remained completely intact, not even a scratch left on it.
Who's-Who's pupils suddenly contracted, a flicker of astonishment on his face.
"Hmph!"
He snorted coldly, and dark Armament Haki instantly wrapped around his entire right arm, veins bulging on his muscular limb.
With a "crunch crunch" of bones grinding, he exerted force again, and the ground slightly trembled from his power.
But the phone remained as good as new, its smooth screen even clearly reflecting his face, contorted with annoyance.
"Damn it!" Who's-Who was utterly enraged, and suddenly raised his hand, unleashing several sharp Finger Pistols.
With a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" through the air, several deep pits were instantly blasted into the ground, sending shattered rock flying.
When the dust settled, everyone was shocked to find the phone still lying quietly on the ground, not even its screen protector was broken.
"This… this hardness is too exaggerated…" Black Maria lightly covered her red lips, forgetting to smoke her pipe.
Page One rubbed his eyes hard, wondering if he had seen wrong, and even the usually composed King instinctively looked at the phone in his hand, his brows furrowed beneath his mask.
"If we cover our whole body with phones…" Sasaki suddenly slapped his thigh excitedly, his eyes gleaming, "Wouldn't it be like wearing armor?"
Queen shook his round head, the fat on his face jiggling: "I already tried that."
He pouted, pulling out a severed phone lanyard from his Arms: "The phone is hard, but these cords connecting the phones…"
As he spoke, he pulled at it casually, and the lanyard snapped: "They're very brittle."
He looked around at everyone, adding with rare seriousness: "For people at our level, even a tiny gap…" He made a throat-slitting gesture, "...is enough to kill you several times over."
Silence once again fell over the hall, with only the sound of their breathing filling the air.
Everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to the seemingly ordinary but indestructible phone on the ground.
The mysterious function of TikTok Shop combined with this incredible hardness made these battle-hardened individuals feel a power beyond their comprehension for the first time.
The hall echoed with gasps of surprise.
Queen proudly shook his phone: "Come on, come on, everyone open TikTok! I'll teach you how to use it."
The Tobiroppo all lowered their heads and fiddled with their phones. Ulti frowned, poking the screen with her fingernail, while Page One carefully held his phone with two fingers, as if afraid of crushing it.
Black Maria elegantly curled her pinky finger, her red lips slightly parted: "How… how do I register?"
"Watch closely!" Queen shouted, his voice hoarse, spitting as he spoke.
He demonstrated the registration process step by step, occasionally having to help someone who pressed the wrong button, working up a sweat.
Kaido sat on his throne, propping his chin with one hand, watching the scene with interest, forgetting to drink the sake from his gourd.
"Alright!" Queen wiped the sweat from his forehead and added everyone to a newly created group chat.
His eyes darted around, and he smiled fawningly: "Lord Kaido, you should definitely be the group owner!"
With that, he deftly transferred the group ownership to Kaido.
