Kaido watched the furious barrage of comments flooding the live stream, then suddenly burst into a thunderous laugh that made all of Onigashima tremble slightly.
"Worororo! Look at you pathetic worms!" Kaido wiped away tears of laughter, his rough voice full of mockery. "Alright, alright, I'm in a good mood today…"
He deliberately drew out his words, watching the live stream instantly quiet down, and nodded in satisfaction. His thick fingers rubbed his chin, and his dragon whiskers swayed gently with his thoughts.
"Let me think…" Kaido said slowly, deliberately rubbing his chin, "Whose secret should I tell? Red Hair's embarrassing stories? Or Whitebeard's old man's secrets?"
The live stream's comments immediately exploded again:
"Tell us about Luffy! Tell us about Luffy!"
"Please tell me about the One Piece!"
"Marine Headquarters' secrets! It must be the Marine!"
"Lord Kaido, look at me! I want to know who Shichibukai Empress Hancock married!"
Kaido's gaze swept over the wildly scrolling comments, and he suddenly revealed a ferocious smile: "It's decided!" He slapped his thigh suddenly, "Let me tell you…"
At this moment, the whole world held its breath.
Marine generals unconsciously straightened their backs; Revolutionary Army cadres clenched their fists; Shichibukai narrowed their eyes; Supernovas stared intently at the screen. Even the Gorosei, far away in Mary Geoise, all leaned forward in unison.
Kaido deliberately paused for a full ten seconds, savoring the thrill of controlling the situation. He slowly raised his sake flask and took a large gulp, the liquid trickling down the corner of his mouth, glinting dangerously in the morning light.
...
The entire world's attention was now focused on Kaido's live stream.
The Governor of the Beasts Pirates, the man known as the "Strongest Creature in the World," was sitting cross-legged on the summit of Onigashima, a giant dragon-shaped shadow enveloping him. In his hand, he closed the "One Piece" novel on his phone, frowned, thought for a moment, and then looked at the live stream:
The live stream comments scrolled wildly:
"Finished reading? Quickly tell us what's inside!"
"Lord Kaido, quickly tell us what important things there are, what happened to the One Piece?"
"Could it be… he discovered something?!"
Kaido frowned, his thick fingers swiped a few times on the screen, then he snapped his phone shut with a "thud." He slowly raised his oppressive eyes, a dangerous smile spreading across his lips.
"Wororororo…" His laughter was low and intimidating, and all the viewers in the live stream involuntarily held their breath.
"I just finished reading all the chapters of 'One Piece,'" he slowly began, his voice like rolling thunder, "And then—I discovered a major secret."
Boom!
These words were like a bomb, instantly igniting the entire live stream!
The comments exploded instantly, countless people frantically spamming:
"What secret?! Tell us, quickly!!"
"Is it the truth of One Piece?!"
"It can't be related to the World Government, can it?!"
On an island in the New World, Red-Haired Shanks's wine glass suddenly paused, his eyes sharply fixed on the live broadcast; at Marine Headquarters, Sengoku abruptly stood up, his face grim; and in the power hall of Mary Geoise, the Gorosei stared intently at the live stream, the air seemingly solidified in an instant…
Kaido looked around, seemingly enjoying the tense atmosphere that gripped the entire world because of his words. He slowly stood up, his dragon scale tattoos gleaming with a cold luster in the sunlight.
"This secret is—" He deliberately drew out his words, the number of viewers in the live stream soaring. Everyone held their breath, afraid to miss a single word.
"This secret is that the current Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks, is actually a Face-Face Fruit user!"
After a brief moment of stunned silence,
The live stream comments instantly exploded.
"Wororororo!" Kaido slapped his thigh, roaring with laughter, his dragon scale tattoos jiggling with his exaggerated mirth. "Didn't you idiots notice? Every time that red-haired brat appears, his first words are always 'Give me some face'!"
The viewers in the live stream were stunned at first, then comments surged like a tsunami:
"Holy crap! It seems true!"
"He said it to the Marine during the Marineford War!"
"He even said it to the mountain bandits in Windmill Village!"
"Even Whitebeard gave him face!!!"
"Hiss… terrifying, so Red-Haired Shanks has always been a Devil Fruit user!"
Kaido triumphantly took a swig of strong liquor, the liquid dripping down his chin onto the rocks of Onigashima.
"Worororo! I've scoured the entire 'One Piece,' and that red-haired brat always demands face every time he appears! What else could it be but a Devil Fruit ability?"
At this moment, on a certain red pirate ship in the New World, Benn Beckman's cigarette suddenly dropped onto the deck, and Lucky Roux stared in shock, holding his roasted meat: "Boss… so you…"
Red-Haired Shanks himself rubbed his forehead helplessly: "Hey, hey, are you joking like this?"
In the live stream, some serious viewers had already started looking for evidence in the novel:
-Mountain Bandit Arc: To the mountain bandits, "Please give me some face."
-Boarding Whitebeard's ship: To Whitebeard, "For my sake."
-Marineford War: To the Marine, "Could you give me some face?"
"See that?!" Kaido slapped his large hand, even the Three Disasters behind him were bewildered. "That red-haired brat definitely ate the Face-Face Fruit! Worororo! I always found it strange why even that old stubborn Sengoku would give him face!"
However, dissenting voices quickly appeared in the live stream:
"We want to hear the secret of One Piece!"
"Who wants to hear this boring analysis?!"
"Is Lord Kaido drunk?"
"Hm…?" Kaido narrowed his eyes, then suddenly swung his spiked club and smashed the giant rock next to him. "What I say goes! What do you mere nobodies know?!"
Just then,
A golden comment suddenly floated across the live stream:
Red-Haired Shanks: Give me some face, and let this farce end here.
The entire live stream instantly fell silent.
Kaido's wild laughter ceased abruptly. He stared at the comment for three seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter, looking up at the sky: "Worororo! See that?! That's the power of the Face-Face Fruit! Even my live stream has to give him face!"
The live stream instantly exploded!
The viewers who had been questioning Kaido just a second ago were now dumbfounded—Red-Haired Shanks himself had actually appeared and even posted a "Give me some face" comment?!
"Holy crap! It's confirmed!"
"Even the man himself admitted it?!"
"What kind of magical realism is this?!"
The comments scrolled frantically. The viewers who had been mocking Kaido's nonsense were now all plunged into self-doubt—could the Face-Face Fruit really exist?!
