Ron took a deep breath, picked up the green potion on the table, his heart filled with excitement. He hadn't expected the system, though late, to give him something so real!
"One shot of potion can restore all vital functions, remove all illnesses, and hidden ailments..." Ron murmured to himself, "Only a system could produce something this good."
Without hesitation, Ron opened the potion and tilted his head back to drink it. As the potion went down his throat, a cool, refreshing sensation, like bathing in a mountain spring breeze, spread through him. His body felt like a dried-up river, now nourished by a mighty current, and the small fish at the bottom, almost dead from thirst, were revitalized!
Warm currents flowed throughout his body, reaching every limb and bone, and the illnesses that had plagued him for years instantly vanished without a trace! He immediately felt incredibly light, as if a great mountain had been lifted from him.
"Awesome!" Ron roared excitedly, then his gaze fell back on the light blue screen, and he began to study the system. Outside, Morgan, who was crafting tomorrow's news, was startled by Ron's sudden shout. However, thinking of Ron's situation, Morgan sighed. No matter what the outcome would be tomorrow, he would help Ron live out his remaining years peacefully.
"Everyone, keep working. Tomorrow's headline: 'Heartless Marine Headquarters, Admiral Fired for Slacking!'"
"Huh? Boss, what does 'slacking' mean?"
"..."

Inside the room, Ron had figured out the function of the God-tier Entertainment System. It was very simple: provide entertainment! However, looking at the system store, he was a bit confused. There was only one item in the store: a mobile phone!
- **Brand Model**: Voyage Generation One
- **Feature**: Automatically adapts to the user's body size
- **Price**: 1 Berry
- **Note**: Cannot be transported, bought, or sold through system channels. Any cheating behavior will result in the confiscation of all gains.
As for other items, they were temporarily unavailable. Yes, just temporarily unavailable. But the system clearly stated the purpose of Entertainment Value: it could upgrade the store! Presumably, after the store upgraded, there would be more entertainment options.
As for obtaining Entertainment Value, it was simple: for every user who used a mobile phone, he would gain one point of Entertainment Value! In that case, accumulating it would be quite fast.
Next, Ron's gaze fell on the system store: "Could this phone be the same kind as in my previous life?" Ron was a little skeptical, and he happened to have a 1 Berry coin in his pocket.
"How do I top this up?"
*Place it below the phone and say "Top up how many Berries."*
Hearing the system's explanation, Ron did as instructed: "Top up 1 Berry!" A black hole suddenly appeared above the 1 Berry coin and instantly swallowed it. At the same time, Ron's system store balance became 1 Berry.
"That convenient?!" Ron rummaged through Morgan's drawer and, after much effort, found a 10,000 Berry banknote. He placed it below the phone: "Top up 10,000 Berries!"
Immediately after, the 10,000 Berries disappeared, and the system store balance became 10,001 Berries!
"It worked! It must be using spatial transmission capabilities."
"System, buy one phone first."
As the store balance decreased by 1, a basketball-sized black hole appeared above the table in front, and then a mobile phone dropped from the black hole. Ron quickly reached out to catch it and looked at it in shock: "It really is a mobile phone!"
For someone from Earth who hadn't seen a mobile phone in over forty years, his current mood was more excited than seeing a hundred bikini-clad beauties running towards him!
Its size was the same as a normal mobile phone, and it could even automatically change size according to the user's body shape. This was simply too user-friendly! Otherwise, how people with huge bodies like Kaido, Whitebeard, and the Giant Tribe would use a mobile phone would be a troublesome matter. Moreover, it was ultra-thin and extremely hard. Ron tried, and with his strength, he couldn't bend it! He then used Armament Haki, and still couldn't bend it! Conqueror's Haki coating + Armament Haki, still couldn't bend it!
"So hard!" Ron exclaimed. This way, he didn't have to worry about the phone being damaged. As for waterproofing and the like, there was no need to worry. The entire phone was integrated; there were no seams to be found! Even the power button area seemed naturally formed, perfectly fitted!
"Products from the system are indeed top-notch!"
Then, Ron skillfully peeled off the film and turned it on! The phone automatically connected to the world network! But Ron noticed that there was no battery level displayed in the top bar.
"The phone doesn't use power? What happens if the power runs out?" The system's electronic explanation sounded in his mind:
*Voyage Generation One utilizes quantum battery technology and can be used continuously for a thousand years!*
"A thousand years? On Earth, this could be a family heirloom," Ron joked.
Without the worry of battery life, Ron swiped left and right and found that the entire phone had only one app: TikTok! As for other common apps like messaging, there were none! It was very clean! Even cleaner than being infected with a virus!
"So clean, even hackers would cry."
Ron had planned to play some games or watch some movies, after all, he hadn't played games or watched movies in over forty years. Before, without a phone, he didn't feel much, but after getting a phone, he didn't want to wait a second longer.
"Forget it, scrolling through videos is fine too." Then Ron clicked on the TikTok icon. It was the familiar opening screen, a large musical note, no ads, quite clean. But after entering, he found that it was even cleaner inside than outside!
It was empty, not a single video! At first, Ron thought there was a network problem, but after he posted a video himself, he found that the network speed was faster than he had ever experienced!
From this, it could be concluded that it was definitely not a network problem, so the problem could only be... Ron suddenly had a bad feeling, and then he tried and found that his guess was true!
"Damn it! So I'm the only one on the entire TikTok app!"
"I'm watching myself film myself!"
"What kind of entertainment is this?!"
Ron cursed and exited TikTok, starting to explore other functions of the phone.
Finally, he concluded that, except for not being able to make calls or send texts, it had all the basic functions of a proper mobile phone, such as taking photos, recording videos, and posting videos. However, there was no web browsing function, because no one had built any webpages to browse. Currently, the only entertainment option was the TikTok app.
"Wait! The first user of TikTok in my previous life might have thought the same thing. It was only later, when there were more users, that TikTok became all-encompassing!"
"That is to say, I can let many people use mobile phones, register on TikTok, and entertain themselves together! I can also accumulate Entertainment Value and upgrade the system store!"
Moreover, Ron believed that since the system even had a green potion that could cure all diseases, it must have other incredible things!
"This world really needs to change." Looking at the phone in his hand, the corners of Ron's mouth curved slightly: "Roger, Roger, the Great Pirate Era you started is about to be turned into the Great Entertainment Era by me! Hehehehe!"
The pirate world is too violent and bloody. The anime only portrays the happy, passionate side, just the tip of the iceberg. But a little thought is enough to guess how bad this world is, with its emphasis on pirates and its hypocritical, corrupt Marines.
Ron had wanted to change this world before, by killing Celestial Dragons and killing pirates, but the effect was minimal. Now that he had the God-tier Entertainment System, why be a pirate? Go watch videos, play games, and watch movies!
"Even the smartest college students in the 21st century couldn't escape the temptation of mobile phones. Does the mere pirate world think it can escape mobile phones?"
"When mobile phones consume all your daily time, let's see when you'll have time to be pirates!"
"Hahahahahaha! I'm a genius!"
Immediately after, Ron directly purchased ten thousand mobile phones!
Clatter!!!
Ten thousand mobile phones were thrown out of the black hole, landing on the table and piling up into a small mountain! The already small lounge was also packed full, with barely any room to stand.
Such a huge noise startled Morgan, who was outside fabricating the news draft, once again. Could it be that Ron, enraged by being expelled from the Marines, was going to dismantle his airship to vent his anger?!
Thinking of this, Morgan couldn't write another word. He turned around and angrily kicked open the door to the lounge: "Ron, you can do anything, just don't dismantle my..."
