At the center of Onigashima, a huge bonfire was burning fiercely.
The flames wantonly licked the surrounding air, making a "whooshing" sound, and the blazing fire shot up into the sky, illuminating the originally pitch-black night as if it were day.
The scorching light spread outwards, illuminating every dark corner of Onigashima.
Kaido tilted his head back, chugging an entire barrel of strong liquor, the amber liquid dripping down his beard, then suddenly stood up.
His massive shadow enveloped the entire stage, and the TikTok live stream camera shook along with it.
"Kurolo-lolol... My subordinates!" Kaido's voice echoed in the night sky, and everyone fell silent, listening carefully.
Kaido slowly pulled three bizarre-looking Devil Fruits from his embrace.
These three fruits emitted a mysterious aura in his hands, making people involuntarily captivated.
The surface of the fruits was covered with mysterious spiral patterns, which appeared particularly eerie under the blazing firelight.
"I'm happy today! I'm drawing three lucky viewers, and if you eat it, you can become an intern of the Beasts Pirates!" Kaido's voice boomed in the live stream.
This single sentence was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar throughout the entire live stream.
The entire live stream instantly boiled over, and the originally calm screen was immediately submerged by a tsunami-like surge of bullet comments.
The emotions of countless viewers were completely ignited, and they all excitedly typed on the screen:
"Oh my god! It's a Devil Fruit!"
"Lord Kaido, look at me! I'm in Wano Country!"
"Pick me, pick me! I'm willing to go through fire and water for the Beasts Pirates!"
Just then,
Queen's corpulent body quickly squeezed into the camera.
"Friends, pay attention! Follow + share + send bullet comments saying 'Beasts Strongest' to participate in the lucky draw!"
As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if a door to a world of madness had opened.
The number of viewers in the live stream soared at a visible speed, the numbers rising like a rocket, seemingly without end.
And the bullet comments on the screen were now completely dominated by the four words "Beasts Strongest"; dense bullet comments fell like snowflakes, making it almost impossible to see other content on the screen.
After all, this was a Devil Fruit!
It was something rumored to grant the user various magical abilities!
Possessing it was equivalent to possessing the power to change one's destiny.
For those who craved power and longed for a comeback, this was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to defy fate!
This opportunity was right before their eyes; who wouldn't go crazy for it!
Soon,
The lucky draw began!
The scene was silent, everyone's eyes were tightly focused on the screen, and the whole world seemed to stand still at this moment, with only the tense atmosphere of the impending reveal remaining.
"The first lucky winner, Richars!" Queen read out the ID.
In an instant, it was as if an invisible current instantly spread throughout the entire live stream.
In a luxurious courtyard in North Blue, deafening screams erupted.
"Hahahahaha!"
This nobleman, Richars, was in the courtyard, surrounded by incredibly luxurious decorations; exquisite carvings, gorgeous silks, everything highlighted his noble status.
However, at this moment, he had no time to pay attention to these things, his eyes fixed on the faintly glowing phone in his hand, his expression a mix of disbelief, surprise, and ecstasy.
When he saw the clear winning notification on his phone, his hands involuntarily trembled violently, almost causing him to drop the phone.
He couldn't believe his eyes; he never thought such good fortune would actually fall upon him!
"I won! I really won!"
At this moment, the live stream was already packed with people, at least a million or more.
People from various Islands gathered in this virtual space, some eagerly praying that they would be the lucky one, while others watched the constantly scrolling winning information with envious and jealous eyes.
Everyone's face was filled with a longing for the Devil Fruit; as long as they could obtain a Devil Fruit, their lives would be completely changed.
Richars' luck was so overwhelmingly good that it was astonishing.
He stared blankly at the green fruit with a pineapple pattern on the screen; the fruit seemed to have a life of its own, shimmering with a mysterious light in the screen's glow, as if warmly beckoning him.
Next, the wheels of fate continued to turn.
"Carlos" and "Swordsman Ed" were also successively read out by Queen.
With each name read out, a small ripple would be stirred in the live stream.
As Swordsman Ed's name was announced, this exciting lucky draw also came to an end.
The Devil Fruit would be quickly sent to these lucky winners via a shopping cart link.
However, for those who didn't win, the live stream was now filled with lamentations.
Countless people beat their chests and stamped their feet, full of regret.
Some kept complaining about their bad luck, while others secretly vowed in their hearts that they would try harder to seize this opportunity next time.
The sighs and complaints filled the entire live stream.
Kaido stood in front of the camera, laughing loudly.
The smell of alcohol spewed from his mouth, forming a hazy white mist on the camera.
"Those of you who didn't win! I'll draw lucky winners every month from now on! As long as you follow my TikTok account, you can participate!"
The live stream erupted in another cheer!
As the banquet gradually drew to a close, Queen's follower count soared like a rocket, finally breaking the five million mark.
He didn't forget to shout loudly to his followers: "Friends, remember to follow! Devil Fruits will be drawn randomly! If you win, you can join the Beasts Pirates!"
His voice was full of temptation, making the fans' hearts boil once again.
As the camera slowly closed, the final shot froze on Kaido wildly drinking.
Although the live stream had ended, in every corner of the New World, countless eyes were still tightly fixed on their now black-screened phones.
The same thought kept echoing in their minds: Next time there's a lucky draw, I must be the lucky one!
This thought was like a burning flame, blazing fiercely in their hearts.
...
In the Marineford Fleet Admiral's office,
The atmosphere was as oppressive as the sea before a storm, heavy and solemn.
Sengoku's face was terrifyingly grim, filling the entire office with a chilling aura.
"Kaido, that madman..." Sengoku squeezed these words out from between his teeth with difficulty.
"I knew this live stream wasn't just about the banquet! So this was their real goal!"
