Chapter 19: 19: Give Me Some Face!
[Congratulations to Blue Planet's only short video creator, Beifeng! The latest video you posted has sparked a trending topic in the Comprehensive Anime Projection, with characters from the One Piece world joining in. Due to the overwhelming number of likes, comments, and shares breaking the set limits, the official system has now unlocked your live-streaming privileges in the Comprehensive Anime Projection.]
This message immediately caught Beifeng's attention. Without overthinking it, he quickly bid farewell to Wang Hai and returned to his rental apartment.
Underneath his posted video, numerous familiar characters from One Piece had uploaded their own response videos.
The Four Emperors' Beast Kaido raised a massive sake barrel with one hand, gulping it down fiercely, his expression filled with rage.
[Whitebeard! Wait for me at Marineford! I'll twist your head right off your shoulders! Wahahaha!]
Black Charcoal Orochi: Lord Kaido is still as formidable as ever! The title of the world's strongest man should really be updated!
Drought Jack: Long live Lord Kaido! The Whitebeard Pirates are about to sink into the ocean!
Plague Queen: I heard Wildfire got slashed into unconsciousness by Shanks! I'm rushing to the battlefield now! Lord Kaido, hurry up and get there!
For many citizens, this was their first time seeing the Four Emperors' Kaido appear in the Comprehensive Anime Projection.
His sheer size alone was enough to terrify tens of thousands, appearing even more monstrous than the rumors suggested.
"Kaido is terrifying! Just looking at him makes my legs go weak. He's bigger than the high-rise buildings in my city—absolutely horrifying!"
"Marineford is doomed! I heard the Whitebeard Pirates are almost there, and the civilians around the area have been evacuated. The battle of the century is about to begin!"
In the conference hall of Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral Sengoku sat with a solemn expression. Beside him were Garp and the three Admirals.
Admiral Kizaru stretched his face into a wry expression and dragged out his words lazily.
"Ooooh~ The Four Emperors' Kaido is so scary. If he crashes the party, we'll be working overtime for days… Fleet Admiral Sengoku, my overtime pay better not be short~"
Admiral Aokiji exhaled deeply, his cold breath forming a frosty mist.
"Things just got a lot more lively. Kaido's been getting a little too arrogant lately… but honestly, he does have the strength to back it up."
Admiral Akainu scoffed coldly, his expression hard as he turned to Sengoku.
"Fleet Admiral, we should just go with my plan—execute Ace in secret. That way, we minimize the risk."
Sengoku remained silent for a moment until the Den Den Mushi rang. After answering the call, his tense expression finally eased slightly.
"No! I absolutely disagree with that proposal! The public execution represents the authority of the World Government. If we alter our decision just because of the Whitebeard Pirates and Kaido, it would be a display of weakness! I will not allow it!"
Sengoku slammed his palm onto the table and stood up abruptly. Garp, casually eating a bag of chips, glanced over with amusement.
"The entire world is watching us. If we back down now, the World Government's reputation will be shaken in the eyes of the people. That's something we cannot afford.
On the other hand, the Revolutionary Dragon would love to see that happen. I will not let history repeat itself. The lesson from Rocks should only happen once!"
Sengoku shot a glare at Garp as he spoke. Akainu, unimpressed, inwardly cursed.
"What a stubborn old man!"
With the truth about the Summit War now exposed in the videos, the Marines had no real advantage in assembling additional forces.
But Whitebeard… who knew what trump cards he still had?
"Kaido shouldn't be able to leave Wano."
At Sengoku's words, Akainu and Aokiji both froze, even the usually indifferent Kizaru widening his eyes in surprise.
Kaido was undoubtedly one of the strongest forces in the world, and Marine Headquarters had already gathered its own top combat power.
What exactly did Sengoku mean by that?
Did he know of another hidden powerhouse?
Back in his creator dashboard, Beifeng found the newly unlocked Livestream Feature for the Comprehensive Anime Projection.
[Live-streaming unlocked: One Piece World. Available for Comprehensive Anime Projection.]
"Livestream feature? What does that mean?"
If he interpreted it literally… did this mean he could broadcast everything happening in the One Piece world from a god's perspective?
Curious, Beifeng clicked on One Piece World, setting the livestream's visibility to all major anime dimensions.
A massive world map appeared on his computer screen. His eyes were immediately drawn to a red cross-sword marker.
"This… is Wano Country?"
Seeing the label on the map, Beifeng clicked into it.
At the same time, in various anime worlds, countless characters suddenly noticed that the original video creator had just started a livestream.
Even Beifeng himself was stunned by what he saw in the live feed.
Red-Haired Shanks, alongside his crew, was utterly dominating Kaido's subordinates.
One of the Three Calamities, Wildfire King, was already unconscious, his face shoved into the ground beneath Ben Beckman's foot. His dull, lifeless expression made it clear he had lost consciousness.
"Oi, oi, oi, where's your boss? Is he just gonna let you all die like this?"
Ben Beckman casually pointed his gun at the other pirate officers and spat out the cigarette from his mouth.
"No need to be so rude, Beckman."
"We're here to talk, not to immediately start a fight. If you go knocking out his subordinates the moment we arrive, Kaido's going to be fuming when he gets here."
Jesus Burgess, Usopp's father, chuckled leisurely as he strolled around.
Shanks, resting a hand on the hilt of his sword, remained silent—until he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze turning sharp.
"Kaido is here."
A tremor shook the earth as if a natural disaster had struck.
The massive form of Hundred Beasts Kaido loomed like an unshakable mountain.
"Shanks!!! You dare lay a hand on my subordinates?! Are you tired of living?!"
The sight of Kaido's arrival sparked intense discussions across the various anime worlds watching the livestream.
Shanks, still smiling, relaxed his grip on his sword.
Looking at the furious Kaido, who was on the verge of losing control, he calmly spoke.
"Give me some face, Kaido. Just stay in Wano."
