Pirates: How Many Divisions Do the Five Elders Have? He Fought Kizaru
Sure enough, after playing for half an hour, the Snake Garp almost half the length of the screen, and he still seemed to be playing with ease.
The old men in the world of One Piece are truly terrifying!
Watching Garp's nimble fingers perform godlike maneuvers, Ma Qiao felt like he was back in an arcade watching the coolest kid in town playing arcade games.
Are these old men really suitable targets for online scams?
Ma Qiao was gripped by deep doubt.
[Your phone balance is less than 500 Beli. Please top up promptly.]
Just then, a notification text message appeared on the Den Den Mushi's screen.
With his vision obstructed, the Snake controlled by Garp died by its own tail.
Garp turned around angrily and asked, "Scarf brat! What's going on?! How did something in the way jump out like that?"
"It means exactly what it says: your phone credit is running low, you need to top it up..."
Before Ma Qiao could finish speaking, Garp pulled a handful of Beli from his pocket and stuffed them into the mouth of Den Den Mushi, just like Sengoku eating senbei.
[You have successfully recharged your phone credit with 1,055,000 Beli. Your account balance is now 1,055,490 Beli. Enjoy your internet browsing!]
Ma Qiao used his hand to straighten his drooping jaw, silently retracting his doubts about the financial resources of the semi-retired military tycoon and his overestimation of the Monkey D. family's intelligence...
·
The Snake game, of course, comes pre-installed on the Big Bird Den Den Mushi), and theoretically, it doesn't involve any communication costs.
However, the game designed by Ma Qiao can steal data...
Oh no!
It allows players to upload their scores in the backend, enabling friends around the world to exchange and compete.
On his first time playing, Garp actually broke the game's highest score.
With the guidance he received, the old scoundrel Garp proudly claimed the top spot on the [Gluttonous Sea Kings Leaderboard].
ID: [Tekken Garp]
Results: [5000 Sea Kings]
The second, third, and fourth place winners in this game are [Please Call Me Princess], [Karoo], and [Middle Finger Mountain's First Deepest Affection], respectively.
Ma Qiao originally intended to remind Garp he didn't need to use his real name.
However, the old man waved his hand dismissively, "Names and such don't matter. I wouldn't care about such trivial matters!"
Since that's the case, Ma Qiao had no choice but to let him go.
In any case, Big Bird Network is still in the stage of unregulated growth and does not yet have a real-name registration system.
Even if someone saw an ID like "[Iron Fist Garp]", they probably wouldn't think it was the real Garp... right?
Ma Qiao thought about the average IQ of people in the One Piece world and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
I, Roger, the One Piece, want money?
This clumsy trick won't just wipe out these naive natives of the Great Pirate Era, will it?
Ma Qiao felt that it might be time for him to design an anti-fraud app.
Phase One: We declared that nothing had happened.
Phase Two: We say something might happen, but we shouldn't take any action.
Phase Three: Perhaps we should take action, but there's nothing we can do.
Phase Four: Perhaps we could have done something back then, but it's too late now.
As a righteous man who cherishes justice and amasses wealth to uphold it, Ma Qiao would naturally not resort to the Britain's pointless tricks.
He skipped the first stage and went straight to the second stage.
Anti-fraud apps might be useful, but not now.
After all, I, Ma, haven't yet cleaned up my act and made my initial capital accumulation complete.
Fighting fraud—isn't that just going against me?
However...
Ma Qiao thought he was on the second level, but he was actually on the third level.
Because the first online scam in the One Piece world was happening silently without his knowledge.
"A beautiful female naval swordswoman who loves to eat meat?"
In a cramped single dormitory room, Sanji, who had just finished stuffing cotton balls into his nose to stop the bleeding, looked at the beautiful girl holding up meat on the screen, and his eyes turned into hearts.
"Kami-sama, it must be my righteous heart in pursuing the path of chivalry that moved you, which is why you sent down this magical Den Den Mushi to save me, a young man who has tossed and turned countless times in the dead of night..."
After spending a long time calming himself down, Sanji followed the instructions and tried sending a message to the [meat-loving beautiful female naval swordswoman], a message from a stranger.
Garp reluctantly turned off the game and returned the Den Den Mushi to Tashigi.
Tashigi held up her new Den Den Mushi, smiled, and shook her head. "Mr. Ma Qiao gave me another one."
Ma Qiao added, "This one is for you, Vice Admiral, after all, you've been very hospitable to so many people from our 16th Branch!"
There was another half-sentence that Ma Qiao didn't say, "For a tycoon who recharges over a million Beli in one go, a phone is just a free gift!"
He even considered sending a few more to Garp so he could return to Marineford and sell them to those wealthy and easy-going military bigwigs.
However, considering that going too far could be troublesome and could lead to suspicion of ulterior motives, it's best to leave the matter at that for now.
"Well then, I won't stand on ceremony!"
Garp wasn't one to mince words; he found a rope, hung the Den Den Den Mushi around his neck, and looked very happy.
"As expected of newcomers jointly recommended by Momonga and Comil, you guys are truly a fascinating bunch of little guys..."
Garp fetched a jug of sake, and while drinking, said, "That Momonga guy said you've run into a little trouble. The remnants of the Sun Pirates are in the East Blue?"
"That's right, their allies even burned the supplies of our 16th Branch!"
Ma Qiao reiterated the charge against the great pirate Captain Kuro for burning military supplies.
A lie only becomes true when repeated a thousand times, Ma Qiao naturally seized every opportunity to reinforce people's impression of the matter.
This trick was a little trick he learned from the classic Third Brother movie "Sheep Without a Shepherd".
Even Jianghu like Garp fell for it, nodding instinctively. "What a bunch of lawless bastards!"
"Scarf Kid, are you going to take down the remnants of the Sun Pirates?"
Just then, Smoker, with a cigar in his mouth and a serious Smoker, walked over.
He had actually been secretly observing Ma Qiao's side the whole time.
Smoker is a proud person, and feeling indebted to Ma Qiao, he felt embarrassed to appear in front of him.
However, when he heard the keywords "Sun Pirates," Smoker couldn't just sit idly by.
Ma Qiao nodded seriously. "Yes, it's a guy named Arlong. They say he once escaped unscathed from Admiral Kizaru's clutches!"
"Can you really go toe-to-toe with that Borsalino kid?"
This time, it was Garp's turn to be surprised.
The East Blue is his home base, and he sneaks back every now and then to see his grandson. Having such a powerful pirate entrenched in the East Blue would indeed be very troublesome.
"Can he go toe-to-toe with Borsalino?"
"I don't know the specifics either..."
Ma Qiao shook his head. "However, one thing is certain: Arlong did indeed fight Admiral Kizaru."
