The craze for novel continuations swept through Onigashima like a storm.
When King walked into Kaido's wine cellar, displaying the latest issue of "TikTok Literature Weekly" on his phone, the Four Emperors was guzzling sake from a gourd.
"Lord Kaido," King adjusted his mask, a hint of helplessness in his voice, "there's a new event now..." He unfurled a holographic projection, explaining in detail the "Continuing Pirate King" project launched by Ron.
Kaido's drunken eyes suddenly widened, and veins bulged on his forehead: "What?!" He crushed the sake gourd in his hand, amber liquid flowing down his dragon-scale tattoo. "I paid so much money for membership, and now you're telling me I have to write it myself to see the continuation?!"
The entire Onigashima trembled with his roar, and stalactites from the cave ceiling rattled down.
King, already prepared, spread his wings to block the falling debris, continuing calmly: "According to the rules, if our continuation is close enough to the original..."
"Close to the original?" Kaido let out a deafening sneer. "If I were to put pen to paper, the plot should be—" He abruptly stood up, his spiked club slamming heavily onto the ground:
"Chapter One: Kaido Massacres Marine Headquarters!"
"Chapter Two: Whitebeard Begs for Mercy on His Knees!"
"Chapter Three: That Kid Red Hair Cries and Hands Over the Road Poneglyphs!"
"Grand Finale: I Sit on the Throne of Laugh Tale and Drink My Fill!"
King's feathers trembled slightly as he barely suppressed a sigh: "But Lord, that definitely won't pass the review..."
"Bullshit!" Kaido spewed sake fumes, suddenly grabbing the projection screen. "Let that useless Queen write it! Didn't he always boast about his literary talent?" He was about to call Queen.
Just then, Yamato's shout came from outside: "Kaido! I've signed up! My 'Chronicles of Wano Country's Dawn' has already received 100,000 likes!"
Kaido's expression instantly froze, his beard trembling violently: "You... what did you write?!"
Yamato ran in excitedly, holding her phone: "I described in detail Momonosuke leading Wano Country to open its borders, and Luffy and them..." Before she could finish, Kaido's roar shattered all the windows:
"Get out and write your self-reflection! I'm going to write it myself today!"
Half an hour later,
All members of Onigashima watched in stunned silence as their governor, the "Strongest Creature" who could sink a battleship with a single club, clumsily poked at his phone screen with two fingers,
muttering curses: "This damn input method... King! Come help me type 'Annihilate the Marines'!"
....
When the video of Kaido continuing the novel suddenly appeared on the TikTok platform, the entire network instantly exploded.
In the video, the legendary "Strongest Creature" was sitting cross-legged on the summit of Onigashima, his huge hand awkwardly tapping on a phone. The camera zoomed in, and the screen clearly displayed the title: "This is the True Path to the Pirate King—By Kaido Himself."
The video set an astonishing record just one hour after its release:
- Over 100 million views
- 30 million likes
- #KaidoWritesNovel# trended at number one
The comment section completely erupted:
[Am I drunk? Kaido is writing a novel?]
"Life is hard, Four Emperors are performing!"
[Are the Four Emperors starting side hustles these days?]
[Quick, let me see what he wrote!]
But soon, netizens discovered that things were not simple; Kaido had actually set a "read after following" restriction on the novel content! This cunning move made countless people grit their teeth:
"A dignified Four Emperors playing such tricks?"
"Unfollow, unfollow! Wait... let me finish this chapter first..."
"Damn it! I have to follow to read the novel..."
Despite this, driven by curiosity, Kaido's account follower count surged at a visible rate.
Data showed:
- 5 million new followers in 1 hour
- Surpassed 10 million in 3 hours
- Reached 20 million followers in 24 hours
Those readers who gritted their teeth and followed soon saw jaw-dropping content:
Chapter One, "The Doomsday of Marine Headquarters," began with:
"Kaido transformed into a blue dragon, a single Heat Breath blasting through Sengoku's office, half of Garp's beard singed..."
Chapter Two, "The Submission of Totto Land," described:
"Big Mom looked at the spiked club in Kaido's hand and obediently handed over the Poneglyph rubbing, not even caring about her favorite cake..."
The most outrageous was Chapter Three, "Red Hair's Tears":
"Shanks knelt before Kaido, crying, 'You are the true Pirate King,' and even willingly offered the Straw Hat he gave to Luffy..."
These wildly imaginative contents left readers bewildered and amused:
[This isn't a continuation, it's clearly a dream journal, isn't it?]
[It's outrageous but strangely captivating, what's going on?]
[Lord Kaido, would you consider releasing a side story?]
On Onigashima, Kaido was smugly watching the constantly rising data.
King stood by, hesitating to speak: "Lord, won't writing like this..."
"Less nonsense!" Kaido took a swig of sake. "Go tell Jack to open an account and write 'The Conquest of Zou'!"
Meanwhile, in Dressrosa, Ron laughed, slapping the table as he looked at the backend data: "This is true 'Four Emperors-level' creation!" He casually added the tag "Magical Adaptation Masterpiece" to the video and pushed another wave of traffic.
...
In the Marineford Marshal's office,
Sengoku slammed his hand down, shattering the solid wood desk, his donuts scattering across the floor.
Veins bulged on his forehead, his eyes behind his glasses wide as he stared intently at the "novel" content Kaido had posted on his phone screen.
"Outrageous!"
Sengoku's roar made the office windows hum. "That bastard Kaido! He kills me off in the first chapter?!" His trembling finger pointed at the passage describing his office being blasted by Heat Breath. "And 'Sengoku turned to ash without even leaving a last word'? Why doesn't he just write that I kowtowed and begged for mercy from him?!"
Garp, sitting on the sofa, was already laughing so hard he couldn't breathe, his senbei falling to the floor: "Hahaha... Sengoku, your death is quite heroic... *cough cough*... didn't even leave a complete corpse..." He wiped away tears of laughter, then suddenly saw his own part. "Wait! When did I ever have a beard? I just shaved last night!" He then touched his smooth chin. "Did that old man Kaido drink fake sake? He can't even make things up properly!"
Staff Officer Tsuru elegantly pushed up her glasses, calmly analyzing: "According to the event rules, such wildly adapted content that completely deviates from the original won't even pass the preliminary selection."
Sengoku's goatee trembled with rage. He directly opened the comment section, his fingers tapping loudly on the virtual keyboard:
[@BeastKaido] Why don't you just write that you became the Pirate King?
And blast Marine Headquarters with one Heat Breath? Why don't you write that you flew up and stood shoulder to shoulder with the sun?!
