Ron heard this and suddenly burst out laughing: "Is my face that big? You think Whitebeard will listen to me?"
Beckman walked forward with a cigarette in his mouth, a meaningful smile on his lips: "Admiral Ron is too humble. With your influence, just showing up, or..."
"Also, once the great war begins, you wouldn't want those islands and families to fall into disaster, right?"
"Wait," Ron sat up straight, looking at Beckman with a strange expression, "Isn't this wrong? You're the ones asking for my help, how did it turn out like I'm the victim?"
And looking at Beckman's smirk, Ron was a bit stunned. With that tone, you really are from that 'small country'.
He pointed to his phone screen: "Look, the whole internet is looking forward to this 'Marineford War' live broadcast now. The estimated viewership can exceed 100 million, and advertising slots are going crazy..." Ron shrugged, "You think too highly of me, I have no reason to stop it."
A dangerous light flashed in Shanks's eyes: "What about those innocent islands and families? Do you have the heart to watch them fall into the flames of war?"
Ron suddenly put away his playful expression, his eyes becoming deep: "Shanks, when did you become so naive?" He stood up, his white robe fluttering in the sea breeze, "This rotten world cannot be established without being broken."
....
Ron lay lazily on the head of the Sea Kings, his fingers lightly tapping the phone screen, a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
Of course, he wouldn't easily agree to Red Hair's request, even though he had originally planned to go to Marineford. Agreeing as soon as he was asked wouldn't that make him seem too cheap?
Just as he was calculating what benefits to ask for, Red Hair suddenly spoke: "I heard you've hit a bottleneck in gaining followers on TikTok recently?" He revealed a knowing smile, "All my brothers can follow you and help you boost your traffic."
Beckman added at the right time: "Our Captain is a major streamer with 300,000 followers, his influence is not small."
Ron's expression instantly froze, as if three big question marks appeared on his forehead.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the members of the Red Hair Pirates with an idiotic gaze: "Do you think... I would care about those few followers?"
The sea breeze suddenly became awkward, Yasopp scratched his head, and Lucky Roux forgot to eat the chicken leg in his hand.
"Alright," Ron waved his hand, too lazy to beat around the bush with them, "If you want to stop the war, go to Marineford with me. As for Kaido..." He smiled mysteriously, "I have my own way to deal with him."
Red Hair's face immediately sank, and a suspicious light flickered in his eyes: "Ron, even if your strength is above mine now, stopping Whitebeard and Kaido at the same time is..."
"You don't need to worry about that." Ron interrupted him, a little impatient, "Since I dare to say this, I naturally have my confidence."
Their gazes clashed in the air, and the Sea Kings twisted its body uneasily, stirring up waves.
Finally, Red Hair took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll believe you this time." He turned around and shouted to his crew: "Adjust course, full speed to Marineford!"
Ron nodded in satisfaction and gently patted the head of the Sea Kings.
This behemoth immediately let out an earth-shattering long cry, carrying him away through the waves.
Red Hair looked at the distant white figure, his brows tightly furrowed: "Beckman, what do you think he's really planning?"
Beckman re-lit a cigarette and narrowed his eyes: "Whatever it is... this war will probably be even more exciting than we imagined."
The Red Force followed closely behind, the two sides cutting through the sea one after another, speeding towards the sea area that was about to become the world's focus.
Behind them, the last ray of the setting sun was also swallowed by dark clouds, as if foretelling the coming storm.
On the azure sea surface, Ron's white robe fluttered in the sea breeze.
He stood on the head of the Sea Kings, his gaze fixed on the sky-blue system interface in front of him that only he could see,
"System, open the store."
With a thought, the translucent system interface unfolded before his eyes, and a dazzling array of goods shimmered with alluring light.
Ron's pupils contracted slightly. Although there were not many updated items this time, every single one could be called a peerless treasure!
Ten top-tier abilities were neatly arranged on the interface:
Top-tier Conqueror's Haki: 100 million user value!
Top-tier Armament Haki: 100 million user value!
Top-tier Observation Haki: 100 million user value!
Top-tier Demon Overlord Body Physique: 100 million user value!
Top-tier Great Swordsman Sword Skill: 100 million user value!
Top-tier Dragon Elephant Prajna Fist Technique: 100 million user value!
Top-tier Phoenix Splitting Air Leg Technique: 100 million user value!
Top-tier...
...
Each ability radiated a unique halo, as if beckoning to him.
Ron looked at them, wanting every single one!
Ron gently stroked his chin, a thoughtful light flickering in his eyes. His current user value was only 130 million, which meant he could only choose one of them.
"Top-tier Haoshoku..." His finger hovered over the first option for a moment, then he shook his head.
Whitebeard's sudden declaration of war disrupted his plan. Simple Haki suppression had limited effect in this level of war.
Originally, Ron was prepared to exchange for Top-tier Haoshoku, but Whitebeard declared war on the Marine, catching him off guard, so he decided to change.
Top-tier Conqueror's Haki had limited effect on these powerhouses and could not completely suppress them.
And besides the three types of Haki, there were fist and leg techniques. Although he really wanted to exchange for one of these techniques to try, now was not the time.
His gaze continued to scan downwards. When he saw [Top-tier Demon Overlord Body Physique], Ron's eyebrows raised slightly.
"System, what's special about this physique? Is there an introduction?"
[No detailed introduction, please explore on your own]
"Tsk..." Ron curled his lip, "It's like opening a blind box."
The sea breeze brushed past his face, bringing a hint of salty air. Ron's gaze shifted back and forth between the options, finally stopping on the physique column.
"Kaido's Oni physique, Big Mom's Iron Balloon..." he muttered softly, "The physiques of top powerhouses are the foundation."
Afterwards, Ron still decided to choose the physique, because his three types of Haki were not weaker than the Four Emperors, so there was no need to insist on top-tier Haki.
Thinking of this, Ron no longer hesitated: "System, exchange for Top-tier Demon Overlord Body Physique!"
[Exchange complete! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Demon Overlord Body Physique!]
[Automatically integrating...]
In an instant, a scorching energy burst forth from within his body!
Ron's body suddenly straightened, his white robe fluttering without wind. Strange dark purple patterns began to appear on the surface of his skin, like the mysterious patterns on the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, shimmering with an eerie light under the sunlight.
"This is...?" Ron looked at the patterns spreading on his arm in surprise.
