"Ah! Mr. Garp, this is my phone that I bought. I can buy you one tomorrow if you want," Bogard said awkwardly.
But Garp clearly didn't care. "This old man is just taking a look. Are you afraid I won't give it back?"
"..." Bogard was speechless.
Garp chuckled, put down the rice crackers he wasn't eating, and started playing with the phone. "You said it was so fun, I'll give it a try too."
With that, he opened TikTok.
The familiar music note logo appeared, followed by a beautiful woman wearing black stockings and revealing long, slender white legs on the screen. The thin silk gauze was subtly revealing, instantly captivating the viewer!
"Pfft!!! Bogard, who is this!" Garp's eyes widened, his face full of shock.
"This... this, this, this..." Bogard instantly turned bright red with embarrassment.
"I didn't expect you to like watching these things. You're usually so cool, I thought you liked men," Garp teased.
"..." Bogard was so embarrassed he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and never come out. "Uh, Mr. Garp, I..."
"Alright, no need to explain. I have been alive for so many years, I understand," Garp smiled indifferently.
Then he swiped, and another beauty popped up. Her skin was flawless and fair as water, and her bouncing movements made people's mouths dry. Dressed in a JK uniform, she was youthful and vibrant, with two pigtails, energetically dancing to "Little Pinwheel"!
[Are you ready?]
[Let's set off together!]
[Dragon roar~ Ow!]
The exciting music, coupled with the sweet, tender voice of the girl, made Bogard feel like he was being roasted over a fire!
"Hehe, let's set off, set off, this old man likes... uh... this old man means I'm relieved about you, Bogard," Garp said earnestly.
Bogard's expression was more uncomfortable than if he had eaten a dead rat. 'Relieved about me'? Is that what you mean!
Garp chuckled, not even lifting his head, and gave Bogard his marching orders. "Bogard, I'm a bit tired today and want to rest early. If there's nothing else, you should go back."
"..." Bogard looked at the phone longingly.
They had agreed he would only play for a little while, but Garp was completely engrossed. The price of the phone wasn't important; the key was the high-quality content he had spent days finding, just gone like that.
"Mr. Garp, I am really leaving?" Bogard asked tentatively.
"Go ahead," Garp said without looking up, still staring at the phone.
Bogard sighed and turned to leave helplessly, thinking to himself: This phone, it seems, isn't coming back...
Baltigo,
A desolate and silent place, rarely visited by people. Everything on the island is white, whether it's the rocks or the sand, and even the sky appears exceptionally pale.
There is no vegetation on the island; it is bare and looks lifeless, completely unsuitable for habitation.
Precisely because of this, it has become the secret base of the Revolutionary Army.
Koala excitedly held her phone and knocked on Dragon's office door. "Mr. Dragon, Mr. Dragon!"
"Come in," Dragon's voice came from inside the door, calm and authoritative.
Koala pushed the door open and ran in, her face flushed with excitement, looking particularly thrilled.
However, when she saw that Sabo was also sitting there besides Dragon, she paused. "Huh? Sabo? You're here too!"
Sabo usually trained intensely whenever he had free time and rarely appeared on such occasions.
"Yeah, something came up."
Koala nodded, a little surprised, but quickly turned her attention back to Dragon. "Mr. Dragon, did you watch the live stream just now?"
Dragon shook his head and pointed at Sabo. "No time. Sabo came to ask me for advice on some moves and techniques." He paused, then added, "What is it? Did something interesting happen? The creator of this TikTok app is quite something, to have made this phone."
Dragon fiddled with the phone in his hand, a hint of wonder on his face.
Regardless of its other uses, the sheer durability of this thing was already unbeatable.
He even had an impulse to take the phone apart and study it thoroughly.
However, he tried various methods, but the phone remained completely still, not even leaving a single mark.
"Didn't... didn't watch???" Koala was slightly stunned, her look of surprise causing Dragon to frown slightly. Had he really missed something?
Koala felt a bit regretful.
After watching the live stream, she had remembered that she should have recorded the video, and she hadn't expected to see Luffy on it at all!
"Mr. Dragon, is your son named Luffy? Monkey D. Luffy?" Koala asked tentatively.
"Yes, why?" Dragon replied calmly.
"What happened to Luffy?" Sabo, hearing that something had happened to Luffy, instantly became serious, his gaze fixed on Koala.
Koala shook her head, but then immediately nodded, leaving the two of them unsure whether Luffy was in trouble or not.
"It's Luffy, I saw Luffy when I was watching the live stream just now!" Koala finally got to the point.
"Live stream? Saw Luffy?" Dragon and Sabo were both taken aback, clearly not expecting Luffy to appear in a live stream.
"It's true." Koala then gave a detailed account of seeing Luffy in the live stream, including the line Luffy had shouted at the top of his lungs: "I'm the man who's going to be the King of the Pirates!" She imitated him vividly, immediately making the two burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, that's Luffy for you, truly his character," Dragon laughed.
"He acts without considering any consequences. This little brother really doesn't make things easy," Sabo couldn't help but shake his head, a smile on his lips. (T/N: Sabo didn't get his memories. He just knows him because Dragon mentions him)
Koala was a little anxious, watching the two laughing heartily, and asked in confusion, "Aren't you worried about Luffy's safety? Now almost the whole world knows that Luffy wants to be the King of the Pirates, he will definitely face a lot of danger!"
"What is there to worry about? Luffy won't let others help him. He should defend his own dream himself," Sabo said.
"Don't worry about him, Koala," Dragon smiled slightly, a hint of reassurance in his tone. "Without experiencing some setbacks, how can a person grow? You have to believe in the conviction of the wind."
Koala wanted to say more, but seeing the trust and composure on Dragon and Sabo's faces, she ultimately didn't continue.
Perhaps, as they said, Luffy always managed to find a way out of difficulties, just as he always did.
"Also, how are things going with what I asked you to do?" Dragon's tone remained calm, his gaze fixed on Koala.
