"Sakazuki, are there any video Den Den Mushi on the ship?"
After hanging up the phone, Ross looked at the exhilarated Sakazuki.
He knew Sakazuki was eager, but it wasn't the time for impatience.
The audience wasn't in their seats yet, so the actors' anxiety was pointless.
"Yes, I'll go get it now."
After saying that, Sakazuki left in a hurry.
This was his best chance to gain public attention, and he didn't want to miss it.
If he missed this opportunity and tried to climb to senior admiral step by step, he might have to wait ten years to build up enough seniority.
How many decades did one have in a lifetime?
The sooner he became an admiral, the sooner he could rise to Fleet Admiral and fulfill his dream.
A short while later, Sakazuki returned, holding a yellow snail-shaped Den Den Mushi in his hand.
There are many types of Den Den Mushi (snail telephones), including those with functions such as photography, communication, surveillance, eavesdropping, projection, and live streaming.
To conduct online live streaming, you need to utilize the video features of the Image Den Den Mushi.
The Image Den Den Mushi can project images onto specially designed screens around the world. The projection range can be controlled, and different levels of Image Den Den Mushi have varying permissions.
Normally, screens around the world play singing and dancing programs, using the most basic video Den Den Mushi (snail phones).
Higher up the hierarchy, major events in a region are broadcast via video Den Den Mushi. Pirates in the New World also use this method to communicate with civilians, much like holding a press conference.
However, all of the above can only broadcast locally and cannot go live worldwide.
Only through the highest level of authority controlled by the World Government, such as the Image Den Den Mushi, can it spread across the globe.
The World Government monopolized these Den Den Mushi a long time ago.
Or perhaps, when the screens were built around the world, the World Government had already seized control of public opinion.
The trial of Roger two years ago, and the trial of Ace in the future, would both be broadcast live worldwide via these Den Den Mushi (snail phones).
However, both times things went wrong, and some unfavorable news leaked out.
Ross wasn't very good at these things, but there were specialists on Sakazuki's ship to handle it.
It was set up in no time.
Buzz!!
With the video Den Den Mushi function fully activated, images of Ross and Sakazuki instantly appeared on screens in member states around the world.
South Blue, Goa Kingdom, Royal Capital.
"What happened? Weren't they just playing Miss Raya's concert music a moment ago?"
"What? Why are the Marines suddenly appearing?"
"Where is this in the picture? Why is there such a big tree?"
"..."
The noise was incessant, and the changes on the various screens in the capital drew the attention of many people.
A couple walking down the street also noticed the shift on the screen.
"Dragon, what's that?"
The woman was only about 1.5 meters tall, with round eyes, black hair, and a comical smile.
"The Marines...that's the Tree of Knowledge on Ohara, and they're going to destroy that island."
Dragon was around 30 years old with red tattoos on his face. He never expected that a trip back to his hometown would lead to him stumbling upon the Marines doing a live broadcast.
He had heard about Ohara from Saul.
He wanted to save Ohara, but with his limited power, he couldn't, so he could only pretend not to know.
According to his original plan, he intended to wait until Ohara was destroyed before going there to see what might be left.
But unexpectedly, the Marines were going to publicly execute the island this time.
However, there was nothing Dragon could do; he could only watch the scene on the screen in silence.
Without realizing it, his fists were clenched, but then the woman next to him quietly took them and made them loosen.
Hello everyone!
On the screen, Ross, tall and imposing, wearing a black suit and a World Government cloak, stood in front of the camera, smiling slightly:
"My name is Saint Jaygarcia Ross, a Celestial Dragon!"
These words caused an uproar among viewers around the world watching the live stream, with some even instinctively kneeling on the ground.
The live broadcast screens were mostly in the member countries, and due to the influence of the World Government's 800 years of propaganda, the image of the Celestial Dragons had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Especially among the weakest of the Four Seas, even the pirates watching the live stream couldn't help but feel fear when they saw Ross.
Many of the madmen in the New World showed disdainful expressions.
"According to the laws of the World Government, anyone who studies forbidden history of the past century is guilty of a capital offense!"
"The scholars of Ohara who violated the ban have all been executed. The list of those executed includes..."
Hearing the long list of deaths, most civilians were stunned.
This was the significance of this live broadcast, and the reason why the Five Elders agreed to it.
Studying history was a minor matter; defying the bans of the World Government was a major one.
If anyone dared to defy the World Government, the world would fall into complete chaos.
It was enough to let some pirates stay in the New World and breed their own nemesis, thus prompting member states to actively pay the Heavenly Tribute.
Those who lacked the power but still wanted to commit crimes should think twice about the consequences.
Since Roger's death, the Great Pirate Era had begun, and the judgment against Roger had failed to achieve its intended purpose.
Therefore, the purpose of Ross's live broadcast this time was to demonstrate the power of the World Government and ensure that the member states continued to have confidence in it.
At the same time, Ross could also take this opportunity to gain prestige and become an elite among the Celestial Dragons who could be promoted and cultivated.
This was the tacit understanding between Ross and the Five Elders.
To achieve this, the live stream had to be of high quality.
North Sea, Russell Island.
"Fufufufufufu! It was actually a Celestial Dragon personally carrying this out. Even the World Government couldn't sit still after what Roger stirred up."
Doflamingo laughed arrogantly, but his sinister eyes, hidden behind sunglasses, were fixed on Ross on the screen.
If it weren't for what happened back then, he would also be one of the Celestial Dragons. Why would he be working so hard to accumulate power from scratch now?
In what way was he inferior to those good-for-nothings? It was just that his father had grown tired of being a Celestial Dragon, so he lost his birthright status.
Damn it! That bastard dad!
On the screen, Ross continued speaking calmly and unhurriedly:
"With this, all the villains who have offended the dignity of the World Government have been eliminated. Now, let's begin the Buster Call on Ohara!"
What is the Buster Call?
"It's the Buster Call!"
"Ah! Ohara is going to be gone!"
"The Buster Call is a destruction order issued by the World Government. Once issued, at least the Marine fleet's firepower can easily destroy an island."
"..."
The term "Buster Call" sparked ongoing discussions around the world.
Some were afraid, some remained silent, some couldn't bear it, and some...
But everyone had one thing in common: no one had ever seen what a Buster Call truly looked like.
At this moment, whether they were commoners, pirates, or royalty, they all wanted to see what the real Buster Call was like.
"This Buster Call will be carried out by Admiral candidate Sakazuki."
"Sakazuki, begin executing the Buster Call!"
