----------
The video begins with a stunning montage:
Four Emperors Kaido dominates the game with his limited edition skin, the scene suddenly switches to Aokiji and Kizaru secretly playing together at Marine Headquarters, and finally freezes on a shot of the entire Revolutionary Army training camp seriously studying tactics!
Morgans' magnetic voice, personally providing the narration, rings out: "Dear viewers and friends, the times have changed!"
The screen switches to a street interview,
A Pirate waves his phone at the camera: "Now when I meet people, I ask about their rank. Who still looks at bounty posters?!"
Just one hour after the video was released, it surpassed a million likes.
The comment section exploded:
[User "I want to be Pirate King": Morgans, please analyze Luffy's hundred-year Tough Bronze rank!]
[User "Marine Headquarters Soldier": Admiral Akainu was reported yesterday for going 0-10 with Dian Wei, hahaha]
[User "Rayleigh is not an old man": Suggest holding a Marine Headquarters eSports tournament, it's much more civilized than fighting]
Morgans looked at the surging data and excitedly plucked a feather: "Quick! Prepare the next special issue: 'From Bounties to Ranks: An Analysis of the New Era's Power Assessment System'!"
He turned to the cameraman and shouted: "Go contact that Marine Lieutenant Commander who got a penta kill with the Sengoku skin, we're doing an exclusive interview!"
The newspaper's printing presses roared all night, and the front page of the latest issue prominently featured a screenshot of Kaido and Whitebeard soloing in the game, accompanied by Morgans' personally written sharp commentary:
"Bounty posters? That's ancient history! The most hard currency in the New World now is a rank screenshot! According to this newspaper's investigation, two certain Four Emperors have been staying in the Sea for over half a month just to reach the Super King rank..."
...
Various professional game analysis videos bloomed, almost overwhelmed by the surging traffic!
The video [Advanced Guide to Ranked Matches] has already hit the trending list,
The streamer "Strongest Support Takes No Blame" updates the tier list of currently strong heroes every half hour and is considered relatively authoritative in the game video circle!
Moreover, scrolling down reveals the latest videos,
[Technical Discussion] Buddha Sengoku Luban's second flash initiation tutorial! Includes practical GIFs!
[Hero Analysis] In-depth review of Red Hair Li Bai's skin: This wave of nostalgia is worth five hundred thousand Berry!
[Climbing Rank Tips] 108 details for solo queuing to Eternal Diamond, a must-read for newbies!
Suddenly,
A new video, promoted with paid traffic, quickly attracted significant attention,
"Tough Bronze to Noble Platinum in Three Days, who else can do it?" - by Whitebeard is my Dad
The user even posted a screenshot of their match history: three full pages of MVP markers, the last one being the Noble Platinum rank certification image!
Soon someone replied arrogantly: "So what if you're a Sea Emperor? In the King's Canyon, I'm the dad!"
In less than five minutes, replies surpassed five hundred:
"Is that all? I dominate with the Kaido skin, activate my ultimate and get penta kills until my hands are soft!" [Includes Eternal Diamond rank screenshot]
"Is the OP playing against bots? My main account is Super King, and my alternate is already Eternal Diamond." [Shows comparison image of two accounts]
Heh heh, it's fake, right? Ranked matches have only been out for a few days, and you're already Super King? [Nonsense!]
Suddenly, an account with the verified ID "Red Hair Pirates - Yasopp" descended into the comment section:
"Our Captain just got a penta kill with Li Bai and now insists I post a video"
[Blurred game screenshot, vaguely visible ID "Red-Haired Shanks"]
This completely exploded the comments, and the discussion instantly shifted from technical comparison to a large-scale family reunion scene:
"Holy crap, a live Four Emperors crew member!"
"Shanks, please stream!"
"Does Red Hair scratch when he's jungling?"
...
Water 7,
In the shipyard, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the wooden roof, casting dappled light on the unfinished ship hull.
The air was filled with the fragrant scent of tung oil and sawdust, but at this moment, the workers' attention was completely diverted from the tasks at hand.
"Look at Kaido's build when he streams!" An old shipwright with a full beard waved a brush, splashing paint everywhere. "Broken Sword + Infinite Edge, activate ultimate and flash in, two hits and one little kid is down!" He mimicked Dian Wei swinging an axe in mid-air, nearly knocking over a nearby paint bucket.
"That's a Tough Bronze playstyle!" A younger apprentice quickly held down the wobbling paint bucket, his other hand still tightly gripping his phone. "High-rank games build Thornmail + Witch's Cloak, didn't you see Marco's Phoenix Dian Wei tanking five yesterday?" His phone screen was paused on a highlight replay of a professional match.
Two carpenters simply put down their saws, brought over toolboxes as tables and chairs, and started a solo match on the spot.
"Come on, come on, I'll go full damage, you use your turtle shell build!" The older carpenter shouted. "Whoever loses treats us to drinks tonight!"
The sounds of argument startled Iceberg Mayor, who was inspecting the site.
He watched helplessly as several workers argued heatedly, their faces red, forgetting to continue painting the waterproof layer on the bottom of the ship.
Just as he was about to speak to stop them, he suddenly glimpsed the game screen on their phones.
"Wait..." Iceberg adjusted his glasses and couldn't help but lean closer. "Doesn't Dian Wei's second skill have lifesteal now?" He pointed at the skill description on the screen. "If you build an End of the World, even a semi-tank has burst damage."
The entire place instantly fell silent.
The workers stared with wide-open mouths at their usually serious Mayor.
"Mayor, you... play too?" The old shipwright asked cautiously.
Iceberg cleared his throat and straightened his tie: "Occasionally... just researching." But the sharp-eyed apprentice had already seen the shining Eternal Diamond rank emblem on his phone screen.
"Holy crap! Iceberg Mayor is Eternal Diamond!"
"What, he's already Eternal Diamond rank after just a few days? Doesn't that mean Iceberg Mayor has Four Emperors level strength!"
"Friend, were you a tongue in your last life?"
"Quick! Iceberg Mayor, please teach us builds!"
"I told you semi-tank is the truth!"
"..."
Soon, the entire shipyard turned into a large-scale tactical discussion meeting.
The workers simply put down their tools and gathered around Iceberg for advice. Someone brought a blackboard and drew equipment synthesis routes, and others used wood scraps to set up a jungle sandbox.
"Actually..." Surrounded by enthusiasm, Iceberg rarely showed a smile. "We could organize a shipyard team. Maybe we can apply to host the Honor of Kings City Tournament in Water 7."
Cheers startled the seagulls by the dock,
Outside Water 7, at Franky's House,
Franky, passing by, saw this scene, adjusted his sunglasses, and grinned: "Super~ Looks like I need to design a new skin for my robot!"
He opened his phone, took a picture of his latest work, and uploaded it to the game video section.
There, he was already a big shot in the ship modification world, admired by countless younger followers!
