The hottest is a clip video:
On the left is a serious scene of the Marine ambush troops standing ready in the northwest corner, and on the right is a live broadcast of the Straw Hat Crew having a barbecue party in the southeast corner, with the background music "Wild Wolf Disco" precisely timed to be cruel!
...
Coastal Bar on an Unnamed Island
The setting sun dyed the entire Sea area blood red. The salty sea breeze, carrying laughter, drifted into the semi-open wooden bar. Red-Haired Shanks had one foot on a wine barrel, his phone screen emitting a dazzling light in the twilight.
"Pfft—hahaha! Beckman! Look at this quickly!"
He laughed so exaggeratedly that precious rum spilled from the rim of his glass, splashing amber spots on the oak floor.
On the screen,
Commander Jonathan's stiff face was photoshopped with a pink lace apron, and a flashing subtitle "Specially Hired by Marine Mess Hall" was placed above his head.
Lucky Roux leaned over and took a large bite of a meat leg, grease dripping down his beard: "Wow, this photoshopping skill is more professional than the wanted poster Yasopp made last time."
Benn Beckman in the corner slowly exhaled a perfect smoke ring. The smoke from the Marine-issue cigar formed a skull pattern in the sunset. He squinted at the frantically refreshing comment section on his phone, laughing uncontrollably,
"Those old fogeys..." Beckman lightly tapped his temple with the gun barrel, sparks falling with the movement, "They think they can predict everything just because they have a script."
He suddenly pulled the trigger, the bullet accurately hitting the phone of a small Pirate who was secretly filming 500 meters away, "But they forgot that freedom never makes sense."
Shanks suddenly reined in his smile, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "Just as Captain Roger said..." He raised the wine bottle, the glass refracting colorful light spots, "The most fascinating thing about the Sea is that the next second is always full of surprises."
Behind the bar, the owner silently turned up the volume of the live broadcast.
On the phone, the news anchor was reporting in an exaggerated tone: "...It is reported that among the stolen items is the 'Diamond Sea Salt' reserved by the Celestial Dragons. The World Government has..."
Beckman's cigar suddenly went out in his whiskey, making a "hissing" sound.
"When the mood is good, the weather gets better too." He looked at the dissipating thunderclouds in the distance, "Head, what's next..."
"—Let's have a party!" Shanks suddenly jumped onto the table, the liquid in the cup swirling into a perfect vortex, "For the troublemakers of the new era!"
...
The setting sun dyed the entire Sea area honey-colored. The deck of the going merry was covered with spoils.
Luffy lay sprawled on a stolen Marine flag, the pure white flag serving as his picnic cloth, stained with barbecue sauce and juice.
He was trying hard to reach the grill three meters away with his rubber arm, his nose constantly twitching, tracking the aroma of the king crab in Sanji's hand.
"Hey! Sanji! Leave that piece with the crab roe for me—"
"Shut up and wait!" Sanji snapped back without turning, his chef's knife drawing a silver arc in the sunset.
He was standing on a half-box of stolen Diamond Sea Salt, humming his self-composed "Seafood Cooking Song," occasionally adjusting the heat of the portable stove with the tip of his leather shoe.
The crab shells made an enticing "sizzling" sound in the hot oil, mixing with the aroma of minced garlic that filled the entire ship.
Zoro was swaying in his self-made hammock, woven from three layers of Sea Stone net, giving off a dangerous bluish-gray sheen in the sunlight.
One foot hung out of the hammock, wado ichimonji clenched in his mouth, as he frowned at the wanted poster pushed by the News King's TikTok account: "Tsk, why did it only increase by so little..."
"Be content, moss head." Sanji tossed over a plate of crab meat salad, "If it weren't for Miss Nami's plan, you'd still be playing hide-and-seek with the Marine now."
Nami sat amidst a small mountain of treasure, her orange short hair gently swaying with the clicking sound of the calculator.
She pressed the calculator with her left hand while simultaneously flipping through three ledgers: the stolen Belli, the live stream donation revenue share, and also tallying the Eternal Poses pilfered from the Marine warehouse.
Suddenly her eyes lit up: "Everyone! The net income this time is enough for eighty-five million Belli!"
Usopp looked at his phone: "Wow! Someone in the comment section said our video of stealing ingredients got over 100 million views!" He suddenly lowered his voice, observing the distance with stolen Marine binoculars, "However... it looks like there's a fleet chasing us... but it's not the Marine."
Luffy suddenly sprang up with a carp jump, wiping his greasy hands on the military flag: "Hahaha, could it be our fans? Then let's have a party! Invite them to finish the crab meat!"
The sea breeze suddenly shifted direction, and the Merry's main sail billowed with a "whoosh."
The little sheep statue at the bow seemed to blink its eyes. The Straw Hat Pirate flag on the mast and the stolen Marine flag fluttered intertwined in the twilight, like the clash of two eras.
In the shadow of the kitchen, Robin chuckled softly and closed her book, looking at her lively companions, feeling fortunate for her choice back then.
As the sun completely sank below the horizon, warm lights lit up on the deck of the Merry.
Luffy's loud laughter, Zoro and Sanji's arguments, Usopp's bragging, mixed with the aroma of food, drifted into the distance on the sea breeze.

Marineford, Marshal's Office
"Marshal, the latest statistics are out. The internet is full of people scolding us, saying we're incompetent..."
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's fist slammed heavily onto the desk. The solid wood desktop instantly cracked with a spiderweb pattern.
His phone was repeatedly playing the live broadcast footage that had caused the Marine to lose face. The scene of Straw Hat Luffy using the Marine flag as a tablecloth was deliberately enlarged, accompanied by the flashing subtitle "Thanks to the Marine old-timers for the ingredients."
"What kind of behavior is this!" Sengoku's roar made the windows hum, "This was a global live broadcast! The kings of the World Government's affiliated countries were watching! We've embarrassed ourselves before the whole world!"
Staff Officer Tsuru, standing nearby, silently pulled up the data panel: "According to current statistics, the video on'Sea Sound' (the Pirate World version of TikTok) has reached 300 million views,
The hashtag #MarineMessHall has remained at the top of the trending list for 72 hours."
She pushed up her glasses, "By the way, the Science Unit reported that the Diamond Sea Salt reserved by the Celestial Dragons..."
"Now is not the time to talk about that!" Sengoku's face tightened slightly as he issued the latest order: "Immediately relieve the G8 Fortress Commander of his duties! Demote him to Colonel!"
Marine Internal Briefing Meeting,
Akainu's magma fist submerged his entire phone in lava: "Useless!" The word "Justice" on his military coat was distorted by the scorching air, "You knew the script beforehand and still got robbed?"
Aokiji lazily raised his hand: "Um... actually, Straw Hat and the others..."
"Shut up, Kuzan!" Sengoku slammed the table, clearly genuinely angry, "Now the whole world is talking about this!" He shared the video in the TikTok group. The cover image was clearly photoshopped—the three Marine Admirals dressed as chefs chopping vegetables, with the title "New World's Best Culinary Team."
