Everyone eagerly opened the packaging, and upon seeing the new phone lying inside, a satisfied smile appeared on their lips.
Just as everyone was looking at the instruction manual, an untimely voice of doubt suddenly came from the side. "Huh? This phone is so hard, I can't even bite it. I can't bend it even if I try hard! It's amazing! Bang, bang, bang, I can't even cut it with a knife! Hiss... Is there a robot living inside!"
Luffy kept hacking at the phone with his knife, then picked it up and smashed it on the ground, having a blast.
The phone's toughness had far exceeded his imagination.
It was so much fun!
Seeing this scene, Nami completely exploded, instantly enraged!
The flames swirling around her were enough to burn through the entire ship!
"Luffy!!!!"
"Thump, thump, thump!" Nami went up and gave him a brutal beating. Luffy's wails and pleas of "I'll never dare again" constantly echoed on the deck.
Half an hour later, Luffy's face was like a pig's head, covered in bumps from the beating.
Snap!
Nami took a photo of Luffy. "Hmph, if any of you dare to damage property again, this is what will happen to you!"
Usopp and the others instantly trembled with fear. Even their captain couldn't withstand Nami's brutal beating, let alone them. They would definitely be beaten to death!
Afterwards, the Straw Hat Pirates began to learn how to use their phones according to the instructions in the manual, then couldn't wait to start browsing videos.
"Look quickly, there are so many videos on it—it's like watching a projection!" Luffy said excitedly, his eyes glued to the phone screen.
"Beauties, so many beauties! Ugh... Pfft!!!" Sanji couldn't take it anymore. His nosebleed erupted like a mountain flood, and with a "pfft," he was sent flying into the air.
While wiping his nosebleed, he exclaimed in surprise. "This... This is too captivating! Am I dreaming?! No, this feeling is too real—it's definitely not a dream. With a phone, I can see beauties from all over the world every day. It's simply too blissful. Is the phone heaven? If so, I'm willing to stay in heaven and never leave..."
If someone were to ask him now what a phone is, is it a machine?
He would light a cigarette, blow out a smoke ring, and say: A phone? No, this is heaven.
No one bothered with the excessively bleeding Sanji. At this moment, everyone was grinning and scrolling through videos.
"There are even videos filmed by the Marines! Maybe we can steal some information!" Usopp was full of shock. The impact the phone had on him was simply too great—he was completely immersed in it.
"Where, where, let me see." Luffy instantly stretched his neck and ran over, crowding next to Usopp.
Usopp immediately blocked the phone and glared at Luffy. "You have a phone, why are you looking at mine?"
"How do I look? Usopp, teach me quickly." Luffy held his phone, completely clueless about how to use it, looking at Usopp with a bewildered expression.
Usopp sighed and had to teach Luffy how to use the phone first.
After all, only by teaching Luffy could he peacefully enjoy his own phone.
"You need to register your own TikTok account first to post videos. Of course, if you're just watching videos, you don't need to," Usopp explained patiently.
"How can I not? As the captain, I must post videos!" Luffy said firmly, as if this was his duty as captain.
At Luffy's strong insistence, Usopp reluctantly helped Luffy register his own TikTok account.
Afterwards, Luffy couldn't wait to start browsing videos, while Usopp went off to the side by himself, continuing to immerse himself in the world of his phone.
Foosha Village,
Inside Makino's bar, Dadan was drinking beer in large gulps. There were already over a dozen empty beer bottles in front of her, but she showed no sign of stopping.
"Makino, another bottle!" Dadan shouted loudly.
"Dadan, is something going on today? Why are you drinking so much?" Makino smiled and brought another bottle.
"Nothing, I'm just happy. I wonder if I can see Luffy and the others on the phone. And Ace. It would be great if I could see those two kids. I wonder how they're doing." Dadan picked up the ready beer and took a big gulp.
Makino also nodded. "Yeah, who knew this thing called a phone would suddenly appear on the sea? It's simply too convenient."
Just then, Dadan suddenly got an idea and looked at Makino excitedly. "Makino, what do you think about filming your bar and posting it as a video on TikTok?"
"Can I really do that?" Makino looked at Dadan with some uncertainty.
"Of course! Your bartending skills are amazing—you just lack an opportunity. If you can film videos and post them on TikTok, more people will see them and know about your skills. Maybe your bar's business will suddenly boom," Dadan said seriously.
Listening to Dadan's words, Makino was also tempted. Then the two hit it off immediately. "How about we give it a try?"
"Of course we should try." Makino nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.
So, Dadan picked up her phone and started filming Makino's bartending process.
Under the lens, Makino operated skillfully. Various drinks intertwined in her hands, creating brilliant colors, like a visual feast.
"Makino, you're amazing!" Dadan said excitedly.
"Haha, this is just years of experience—anyone can do it," Makino replied with a smile, her eyes full of confidence.
After filming, Dadan uploaded the video to TikTok and added a caption: "Makino's Bar in Foosha Village. We have the best bartender here. Come and taste her skills!"
After the video was uploaded, the two looked at the phone screen with anticipation.
Soon, likes and comments began to appear one after another:
"Wow, this bartending is amazing!"
"A bar in Foosha Village? I must go and try it if I get the chance!"
"The proprietress is so beautiful, followed!"
Makino was immediately flattered. Was she really that amazing?
She immediately asked Dadan to reply to these comments, thanking everyone for their support.
Syrup Village,
Inside the large mansion, several servants were cleaning the courtyard.
Under the resting pavilion, Kaya's delicate figure sat there, staying for the entire afternoon, which worried the servants greatly.
"Miss, does this thing called a phone really have such great magic? You've been sitting here all these days, even playing with this thing called a phone during meal times. Recently, you haven't even been reading your favorite medical books anymore," Merry the butler said, looking at his young mistress with concern.
Kaya looked up and smiled sweetly. "Uncle Merry, I'm fine. I just want to see if Usopp is on there too."
"Huh? You can see Usopp on this little thing?" Merry was a bit incredulous.
"Of course you can. These videos on it are filmed and uploaded by people from all over the world. We can see scenery from everywhere just by sitting at home," Kaya explained patiently.
Merry was even more astonished. "Is it really that amazing?"
"Yes, Uncle Merry, you should all buy a phone too. It's not expensive anyway—only two hundred Berries. Otherwise, we won't have anything to talk about together, right, Uncle Merry?" Kaya continued.
Looking at his kind and amiable young mistress, Merry could only nod in agreement to have something in common with her. "Uh... Okay, alright."
