Wapol's "Comeback Declaration" Video
In front of the camera, Wapol, with his round belly and flushed face, held up a thick stack of order forms and proudly waved them at the screen.
"Folks! See this?!" he yelled at the top of his lungs. "My products have been bought out! Everything cleared in one go! Who still dares to say there's a quality issue?!"
To add credibility, he even deliberately waved a purchase order from Vegapunk's lab (with parts obviously censored) in front of the camera—although no one could see the specific details, the words "Vegapunk" were faintly visible. The comment section instantly exploded:
"Holy crap? Is this real? Vegapunk buying Wapol's junk?"
"Couldn't be photoshopped, could it?"
"Maybe he bought it back as a negative example?"
But Wapol didn't care about these doubts. With a wave of his hand, he directly announced:
"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I've decided—to put another hundred items back on the shelves!" He grinned, revealing a mouth full of gold teeth. "But... as for the price... it's been adjusted just a little!"
The camera switched to his newly listed product page. The "Wapol Special Clockwork Penguin," originally priced at 998 Berries, had now transformed into the "Limited Collector's Edition · Munch-Munch Fruit Certified · Mechanical Art Gem" for 2998 Berries.
"Don't complain about the price!" Wapol brazenly yelled at the camera. "This is high-end stuff that even Vegapunk approves of! Buying it is making money!"
However, reality soon dealt him a heavy blow—this time, after the items were listed, sales were dismal.
"What's going on?!" Wapol stared at the backend data, his face full of disbelief. "Didn't everyone go crazy buying last time?"
The comment section revealed the truth:
"LOL, does he really think we're fools?"
"Last time we bought it for fun, this time he's just milking us like leeks?"
"If Vegapunk were really buying, he'd buy the genuine ones from Clockwork Island. Who would buy your counterfeit goods?"
Wapol was so angry he stamped his feet, his belly fat shaking violently, making the floor beneath him thump.
"Something's not right!" He scratched his head, his eyes flickering with suspicion. "Could it be that old fox Vegapunk is messing with me?"
Just as he was lost in thought, his phone suddenly chimed with a notification sound.
Wapol looked down, his eyes almost popping out—his shopping cart items were once again completely sold out!
Furthermore, the purchase record clearly showed the same buyer: "Vegapunk Lab Official Procurement Department."
"This time I've got proof!" Wapol fumbled to turn on the screen recording function, his trembling fingers meticulously recording the entire transaction process.
He even deliberately zoomed in on Vegapunk's ID to ensure every detail was clearly visible.
In less than ten minutes, a video titled "Hard Proof! Vegapunk Buys Out Again!" shot up to the top of TikTok's trending searches.
In the video, Wapol's greasy, chubby face was flushed red with excitement:
"Folks, watch closely! This time it's a real screen recording! If I'm faking it, I'll swallow this crown!" Saying this, he even shoved the rusty iron crown towards his mouth.
The comment section instantly blew up:
"Holy crap! It's actually real!"
"Vegapunk must be crazy? Why buy so much junk?"
"Could it be he bought them back to study how to improve them?"
The most incredible thing was that Vegapunk himself actually left a comment under the video: "Interesting idea, worth collecting."
Although it was only eight short characters, the world's smartest mind still instantly propelled this comment to the top of the hot comments.
Wapol looked at the skyrocketing follower count and the flood of private messages, feeling completely on top of the world.
He immediately announced that he would hold a special live stream featuring "Vegapunk's Favorite" items, and he even deliberately raised the product prices by another 50%.
"This time it's endorsed by Vegapunk!" He guaranteed, patting his chest in the live stream. "Buying it is making money!"
...
Onigashima,
Queen stared at the phone screen, dangerous red light flickering in his eyes.
As the chief scientist of the Beasts Pirates, he keenly sensed that there must be something fishy behind Vegapunk's series of abnormal actions.
"That old fox never makes a loss..."
Queen chewed on his cigar, his massive body pacing back and forth in the lab, making the floorboards creak.
His thick, stubby fingers quickly scrolled through Wapol's TikTok homepage, repeatedly watching the videos of those crudely made toys.
"What's so special about this junk?"
To find out the truth, Queen decided to take matters into his own hands, thinking of buying a few toys to study. But he suddenly discovered that Wapol's shopping cart was always empty!
He couldn't get any at all!
Fine beads of sweat trickled down his greasy forehead. He stared intently at the product page on his phone, ready for the next wave of panic buying.
"Listed!" Queen's fingers tapped the screen at an astonishing speed, but at the moment of payment, a "Sold Out" notification popped up.
He widened his eyes in disbelief. "How is that possible?! I have modified reaction speed!"
In the following days, Queen pulled out all the stops:
He arranged for all his subordinates to stake out Wapol's shop and grab the toys!
He even followed Wapol's online notifications!
However, each time ended in failure. The most infuriating time was when his finger was just 0.01 seconds away from the "Buy Now" button, but Vegapunk still got there first.
"Damn it!" Queen furiously smashed his fifth phone case, black smoke fuming from his head due to anger.
He gnashed his teeth and glared at Vegapunk's ID on the screen. "What kind of black technology is this old geezer using?!"
What drove Queen even crazier was that in Wapol's latest bragging video, Vegapunk actually left a comment himself: "Interesting idea, worth collecting," accompanied by a smiling emoji.
This was practically deliberate provocation!
"I refuse to believe this!" Queen gnashed his teeth and continued to stake out Wapol's shop page, persistent red light flickering in his eyes.
His massive body almost crushed the control panel. He operated two phones simultaneously, even deliberately softening his breathing, terrified of missing a single moment of listing.
"This time I must..." His mechanical finger hovered above the screen, ready to click 'Buy' with nano-level reaction speed at any moment.
The moment the "Buy Now" button lit up, Queen's mechanical arm erupted with astonishing speed—
"Ding! Order successful!"
"Hahaha! Finally!" Queen burst into wild laughter, springing up from his chair and almost hitting the lab ceiling. He eagerly tore open the newly arrived package, inside which was a crudely made "Wapol Special Clockwork Penguin."
