The old man's voice carried a hint of excitement and nervousness, yet his eyes gleamed with intense exhilaration.
That was a Four Emperors!
How many could be noticed and paid attention to by a Four Emperors!
What a tremendous honor!
As he spoke, his movements became more vigorous, the hoof trimming knife carving perfect arcs on the donkey's hoof.
He seemed to already see the popularity of his live stream soaring, his heart filled with anticipation.
Meanwhile, on the throne of Onigashima, Kaido was completely immersed in this peculiar sense of healing, his usual tightly furrowed brows now relaxed.
"Comfortable! So comfortable!" Kaido murmured, his voice laced with contentment.
He had never imagined that such a seemingly ordinary live stream could make him feel so relaxed.
And just like that,
the TikTok following list of Four Emperors Kaido gained an obscure hoof trimming master.
And in a corner of the New World, an ordinary hoof trimming live stream, due to the sudden visit of this prominent figure, saw its popularity instantly skyrocket.
In the old man's live stream, the number of viewers instantly surged from dozens to thousands, or even more, and the comments also increased.
"Hoof trimming, a man's parking lot!"
"I have to say, watching hoof trimming is very appetizing, I've already eaten a pot of rice!"
"Even the Four Emperors couldn't escape hoof trimming…"
"I've been watching since morning, and I still owe the old man a gift, I'll send one now!"
"Me too, I owe the old man a pair of sunglasses, sent!"
"I'll follow suit!"
The old man looked at the rapidly scrolling messages on the screen, his heart filled with gratitude; he knew his life would no longer be ordinary from now on.
…
The next day,
the Beasts Pirates' grand feast!
As the video released by Queen swept across the TikTok platform like a storm, it instantly topped the trending list!
It even surpassed Empress's video of gaining ten million followers!
The bright red "Hot" tag was particularly eye-catching on the trending list.
The number of viewers in the live stream soared at an astonishing rate, showing the extraordinary power of TikTok's promotion.
The video was liked, commented on, and shared in large numbers.
"Four Emperors Kaido? I didn't see wrong, did I?"
"Lord Kaido is mighty! Please let me join the Beasts Pirates!"
"The program list also includes Plague Queen singing, dancing, and rapping?! I'm dying of laughter hhhh"
"Brother, don't talk nonsense, otherwise you might really be sought out by a Four Emperors."
"Bah! What's there to fear? I even dared to curse the Celestial Dragons, why would I fear a Four Emperors?"
"Awesome…"
In the video, Queen excitedly said to the camera: "Dear viewers, this feast today is an exclusive live stream from the Beasts Pirates, with Lord Kaido personally presiding, and my wonderful performance, Queen, it's absolutely not to be missed!"
…
In a certain turbulent sea area of the New World, the Red Force of the Red Hair Pirates gently swayed with the waves.
On the deck, Yasopp and others, led by Shanks, gathered in a circle, a dozen pairs of eyes fixed on the small phone screen.
Beckman leaned against the ship's rail, the cigarette dangling from his lips flickering in the night; after saving money for so long, he finally managed to buy a phone.
"This Kaido fellow…" He exhaled a perfect smoke ring, his voice tinged with amusement, "He's actually playing with live streaming? I really wonder if he drank fake alcohol."
"Pfft ha ha ha!" Yasopp suddenly burst into laughter, vigorously slapping his sturdy thigh, his mouth stretched to his ears, "It's hard to imagine how hilarious Queen looks when he dances, ha ha ha!"
He pointed at Queen, who was wiggling his plump body on the screen, laughing so hard he was bent over, "What is that thing dancing in front? It looks just like a drunken fat penguin!"
Lucky Roux, his mouth full of meat, mumbled indistinctly: "Mmm… this dance move… it's even worse than my barbecue skills…" Grease dripped down his plump chin, splattering a few oil spots on the deck.
"Hey, hey, look at that!" Rockstar suddenly pointed at a corner of the screen, his voice rising by eight octaves, "That thing on the ground… could it be a Devil Fruit?" He widened his eyes, a hint of shock flashing in them.
Beckman's pupils sharply contracted; he quickly reached out to zoom in on the image, only to see a strange fruit rolling at Queen's feet, and the clumsy fat man was clumsily trying to block the camera.
Shanks also saw the Devil Fruit. "Interesting, Devil Fruits are just thrown around everywhere." He smiled slightly, then his eyes lit up. "Hey, Beckman, how about we start a live stream too?"
"Don't be silly." Beckman rubbed his temples, a headache brewing, but then he saw his Captain excitedly pulling out his phone. "Wait! You're not serious, are you?"
"Ha ha ha, Beckman, you're still so cautious." Shanks shook his head, put away his phone, then looked up at the sea, his expression also becoming solemn. "Speaking of singing, no one can compare to Uta, and I wonder if Uta has received the phone yet."
"Don't worry, Uta is so smart, she'll definitely know it's from you."
"…"
…
Alabasta,
Inside the top-floor VIP room of the Rainbase Casino "Spice Bean," Crocodile was deeply reclined in a leather sofa, a half-burnt premium cigar held between his slender fingers.
The entire room was bathed in dim yellow light, with only the cold light from the phone screen illuminating his distinctly contoured, somber face.
"Boring."
The phone was playing a video of the Beasts Pirates' upcoming feast. Crocodile took a puff of his cigar, exhaling a smoke ring, his golden hook faintly visible in the smoke.
"If it's just this, why would Kaido be bored enough to live stream?"
At this moment, he saw the Devil Fruit that seemed to have accidentally fallen, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. "Interesting, could it be that he wants to expand his power through TikTok?"
Just as he was pondering,
the Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly opened its eyes, emitting a "Poru Poru Poru" sound.
Crocodile frowned, picked up the Den Den Mushi, and answered the call. He also suspected whether TikTok would leak information, so for some important conversations, he would still choose the Den Den Mushi.
"President." Mr.1's voice came from the Den Den Mushi. "Smoker just entered Rainbase with a Marine squad and is searching every casino." The Den Den Mushi's eyes narrowed slightly. "They seem to be particularly focused on Princess Vivi's whereabouts."
"That damn White Hunter…" Crocodile abruptly snuffed out his cigar, the expensive tobacco twisting and deforming in the glass ashtray.
He stood up, his black fur coat flapping behind him, and strode towards the floor-to-ceiling window.
Through the bulletproof glass, Rainbase's brilliant night view was fully visible, but at this moment, his gaze was fixed on the moving Marine uniforms on the distant street.
"Have Mr.2 and them go." Crocodile's eyes were cold. "These Marines are really troublesome, give them some clues."
"Yes."
