What's going on?
Ron heard his phone ringing incessantly, feeling a bit flustered. Could something have happened to that guy Morgans?
He quickly opened TikTok, only to find his backend private messages showing 99+!
Clicking into the messages, he realized they were all sent by Hancock!
They were full of dense heart emojis and content like "Ron ❤️ Hancock."
My goodness!
What exactly is this girl trying to do!
"Hancock, stop sending me private messages. This is harassment, you know?" Ron finally couldn't stand it and told Hancock to stop.
"Ah, Ron-sama, could it be... that you don't like me anymore?" After being discovered, Hancock immediately became pitiful, giving Ron a headache.
He couldn't stand women acting cute, especially beautiful women!
"My point is, send fewer private messages unless it's important. If we miss something important, it'll be too late," Ron explained helplessly.
"Alright," Hancock nodded obediently. "As long as Ron-sama asks, I will definitely do it."
Afterward, the two sisters, Boa Sandersonia and Marigold, also learned how to use phones and had mastered the basic techniques for filming TikTok videos.
Ron took a look and was immediately surprised, because he found that the two sisters' videos actually had camera movements?!
"No, how did you guys film these camera movements?" Ron couldn't help but ask.
"Just like this," Sandersonia said, demonstrating it again.
She transformed her snake tail, hooked the phone, and began 360° omnidirectional camera movement filming, even speeding up and slowing down at times. Several times in between, she fell from a high place, but she caught it steadily and continued filming!
After adding beauty filters and effects, a living, breathing beauty was born!
Ron's idea was simple: first teach the three of them, and then have the three of them teach the others on Maiden Island.
There are many beauties on Maiden Island—what's shown in the anime is just the tip of the iceberg.
It's important to know that although the two sisters' appearances are not great normally, that is not their original appearance at all.
Zoan Devil Fruits have three forms: Human Form, Beast-Human Hybrid, and Beast Form. Because of their tragic experiences in childhood, the two sisters knew that beauty would bring endless trouble, so they had been maintaining their Beast-Human Hybrid form.
So even Ron had never seen their adult appearance in the anime.
"Are they really that talented?" Ron was speechless. This was faster than mastering a Devil Fruit power—they were practically innate camera movement users!
At this moment, Marigold also finished her video and quickly uploaded it, eager for Ron to evaluate it.
"Don't rush, let me see first." Ron clicked on the video, and he instantly felt like he was back on Earth, scrolling through TikTok.
Marigold's physique was sturdy, the type that couldn't lose weight no matter what. Her personality was fiery—simply put, she was the tomboy type!
But in the video, she was a slim-figured, healthy-skinned, wheat-colored beauty, with a playful ponytail and brownish-yellow hair carrying a hint of wildness. Where was there even a trace of a sturdy girl's appearance?!
"No, Marigold, did you turn on level ten beauty filter?" Ron couldn't help but ask.
This made Marigold a bit embarrassed. She shyly covered half her face and whispered, "There's no level ten beauty filter—it's just a little bit of beauty filter."
Ron: ...
Clearly, this was another talented individual, an innate beauty filter user!
"Remember to remove your abilities and return to your normal state when filming videos in the future, otherwise people will be scared away by you."
The two women quickly nodded in agreement. After all, it was just filming videos, nothing much. As long as it could help Ron, they were willing to repay this life-saving kindness!
"Ron-sama, what kind of video should I film?" Hancock looked at Ron affectionately, not forgetting to send him a private message to ask.
"Hancock, why did you also send me a private message about what you just said?" Ron asked helplessly.
Hancock smiled shyly. "Of course I want to record every minute and every second with Ron-sama."
Ron suddenly felt dizzy, but he didn't forget the main point. "You are already very beautiful. You don't need any filming techniques at all. Just stand there, shoot a few seconds of video casually, and you can attract everyone!"
Hearing Ron praise her like this, Hancock nearly fainted from happiness, but she held on. Her pretty face was as red as a tomato. "I... I will follow Ron-sama's arrangements."
Then, Ron helped Hancock film a video.
The video content was simple: Hancock sat on the throne, the camera passed through the screen, and Hancock's cool profile slowly appeared, followed by her stunning face and cold eyes.
Fifteen seconds, perfect!
"This video will definitely go viral!" Ron was very confident, because in the anime, whenever Hancock appears, everyone is captivated by her beauty, except for those with strong willpower, of course.
However, Ron had already thought of a way to deal with these people.
As of now, Ron's gains had exceeded his expectations!
"Ron-sama, what does 'go viral' mean?" Hancock and the three sisters were all very curious.
"It means you are very popular, that many people like you," Ron explained.
Then, in front of the three sisters, Ron purchased thirty thousand more phones.
This action truly shocked the three sisters again.
"This is my ability, don't be surprised," Ron said.
The three sisters were not surprised—after all, there were plenty of strange abilities in the pirate world, and being able to conjure phones seemed... not that strange either.
Ron gave them a task. "Distribute all these phones to the women of Maiden Island, one for each person. If it's not enough, come ask me for more."
"This isn't free. The task every day is that each person must film three videos. The quality must be high, the kind that can attract men to watch!"
"For every thousand likes a video gets, I will give an extra thousand Berries!"
"Remember to have them use stage names, like Xin'er, Mei'er, etc. Don't use their real names. On one hand, long names are hard to remember, and on the other hand, it avoids exposing their identities."
At first, the three sisters found it fun, and names didn't really matter.
But upon hearing they had to film videos every day, they were a bit unhappy.
Because they weren't idle—if they filmed videos every day, how would their country survive, how would they eat?
They couldn't possibly live by filming videos, right?
But when they heard that Ron-sama was going to give them money, their eyes lit up!
"Ron-sama, I didn't mishear, did I? You're going to give us money for filming videos?" Marigold roared in her thick voice.
Sandersonia was also stunned. "Ron-sama, will people give us likes?"
Hearing this, Hancock took her hands off her phone and looked up at Ron.
As the Empress of Maiden Island, she had the responsibility to lead the entire country to survive.
"I know your concerns," Ron then explained. "The matter of selling phones has been handed over to others, and soon a large number of users will enter TikTok. As long as your video quality is high, it will definitely attract a large number of people to follow and like!"
"I'll teach you some other things, like clothing. There's leopard print, high socks, JK uniforms, 'little sister dresses,' and so on. You can film with different variations."
