Ron's phone kept ringing like crazy, making him feel a little nervous. Did something happen to Morgans?
He quickly opened TikTok, only to see a flood of private messages in his inbox—99+ and still going strong!
Clicking in, he saw they were all from Hancock!
Full of heart emojis, messages like "Ron-sama [♡♡♡♡♡] Hancock" littered the chat.
Holy crap!
What the heck is this girl trying to pull?!
"Hancock, stop sending me private messages. This is harassment, you know?" Ron finally couldn't take it anymore and called her out.
"Ah, Ron-sama… could it be… you don't like me anymore?" Caught red-handed, Hancock immediately turned pitiful, giving Ron a splitting headache.
"Look, just don't spam me unless it's important. If something serious comes up and I miss it, that's on you," Ron said helplessly.
"Okay," Hancock nodded obediently. "As long as Ron-sama says so, I'll do it."
After that, her two sisters, Boa Sandersonia and Marigold, also figured out how to use their phones and had even learned the basics of filming TikTok videos.
Ron took a peek—and was instantly stunned. Their videos had camera movement?!
"No way, how did you shoot those dynamic angles?" Ron couldn't help but ask.
"Like this," Sandersonia replied as she demonstrated again.
She transformed her snake tail, hooked the phone, and started filming in 360-degree motion, switching speeds and directions. At one point, she even fell from a high place, but still managed to catch the phone mid-air and keep filming!
After applying filters and effects, the result was a real, breathing beauty!
Ron's idea was simple: teach the three sisters first, and then have them teach the rest of the women in Amazon Lily.
There were tons of gorgeous women in Amazon Lily—what you saw in the anime was just the surface.
Also, it was important to note: the two sisters didn't actually look like that.
Zoan-type Devil Fruits had three forms: Human Form, Hybrid Beast-Human Form, and Full Beast Form. Due to their traumatic childhoods, the sisters stayed in their Beast-Human forms—because beauty had only brought them endless pain.
Even in the anime, Ron had never seen their real adult forms.
"Are they really that talented?" Ron was speechless. This was faster than unlocking a Devil Fruit power. These two were born to shoot TikToks!
At that moment, Marigold finished her video and quickly uploaded it, eager for Ron's feedback.
"Hold up. Let me take a look first." Ron tapped on the video, and for a moment, he felt like he was back on Earth, scrolling TikTok.
Marigold was thick-built and strong—the kind of woman who couldn't lose weight no matter what. She had a bold, fiery personality—straight-up tomboy material.
But in the video? She looked like a slim, tanned, wheat-skinned beauty, with a playful ponytail and wild, brownish-yellow hair. Not a trace of her usual thickset look!
"Wait, Marigold, did you crank the beauty filter to level 10?" Ron asked suspiciously.
Marigold looked a little embarrassed. She shyly covered half her face and whispered, "There's no level 10 filter… just a little enhancement."
Another prodigy. This one's got innate talent for beauty filters!
"Make sure to switch back to your real form when filming from now on. Otherwise, you'll scare viewers off."
The two sisters quickly nodded in agreement. It was just filming, nothing too hard. As long as it helped Ron, they were all in—he did save their lives, after all.
"Ron-sama, what kind of video should I film?" Hancock asked sweetly, staring at Ron and—yup, also sending a private message asking the same thing.
"Hancock, why did you DM me again about what you just said out loud?" Ron asked, exasperated.
Hancock smiled shyly. "Because I want to record every minute and second I spend with Ron-sama."
"…" Ron was dizzy from her sweetness, but he didn't forget the task at hand. "You're already stunning. You don't need any fancy filming techniques. Just stand there and shoot a few seconds, and you'll attract the whole internet."
Hearing Ron's praise, Hancock nearly fainted from happiness. Her beautiful face turned so red it looked like it was about to melt. "I… I'll follow Ron-sama's arrangements."
Then, Ron helped her shoot a video.
The video was simple. Hancock sat on her throne. The camera moved across the screen, revealing her cool side profile, followed by her breathtaking face and icy eyes.
Fifteen seconds. Perfect.
"This video is gonna blow up!" Ron said confidently. After all, in the anime, every time Hancock showed up, she stunned everyone, unless they had some insane willpower.
But Ron already had a plan for dealing with those types.
At this point, his gains were way beyond expectations.
"Ron-sama, what does 'blow up' mean?" Hancock and her sisters were all curious.
"It means you're trending. People love you," Ron explained.
Then, right in front of them, Ron bought 30,000 more phones.
That move really shocked the sisters.
"This is my ability. Don't overthink it," Ron said calmly.
The three sisters weren't too surprised. In the One Piece world, there were all kinds of bizarre abilities. Being able to conjure phones? Kinda weird, but not that weird.
Ron gave them a task: "Distribute these phones to all the women in Amazon Lily. One per person. If it's not enough, come back for more."
"This isn't a freebie. Each person must upload three videos a day. High quality. Stuff that'll attract male viewers."
"For every thousand likes, I'll give an extra thousand Berries!"
"Also, tell them to use stage names. Something short and catchy. Don't use real names. They're hard to remember and could expose your identity."
At first, the sisters thought it sounded fun. Stage names were no big deal.
But filming every day? That was a drag.
After all, they weren't just lounging around. They had to manage the country, grow food, handle security…
They couldn't live off filming videos, right?
But when Ron-sama mentioned money, their eyes lit up like firecrackers!
"Ron-sama, did I hear you right? You're gonna pay us to shoot videos?!" Marigold's booming voice rang out.
Sandersonia was stunned too. "Ron-sama, will people actually give us likes?"
Even Hancock put down her phone and looked at Ron seriously.
As the Empress of Amazon Lily, she carried the responsibility of keeping her people alive.
"I get your worries," Ron said. "I've already handed off the phone sales to someone else. Soon, a flood of users will pour into TikTok. As long as your content is good, you'll get likes and followers."
"I'll teach you more tricks. Like outfits—leopard print, high socks, JK uniforms, all kinds of styles. You can mix it up for the camera."
