That familiar tone instantly turned Sengoku's face ashen. The veins on his forehead bulged like they were trying to burst out of his skull.
He slammed the desk, scattering documents everywhere. Papers fluttered through the air like autumn leaves in a storm.
But the game had already started. If he quit now, his reputation would take a hit.
Sengoku clenched his teeth and forced himself to sit back down, selecting Luban No.7 with trembling fingers.
Gripping his phone like a weapon, he growled, "I'll prove through strength alone that justice always prevails!"
But Kaido clearly had no intention of playing this match seriously.
He immediately locked in Daji... and didn't play her like a support at all.
As soon as the match started, Kaido's Daji followed Sengoku's Luban to the bottom lane, then casually cleared the wave with one spell.
Sengoku had been about to last-hit a minion when Daji stole it right out from under him.
"Kaido! What are you doing?! Those are my minions!"
"Oh? Your minions? You got proof?"
Sengoku was shaking with rage. What kind of proof?! How is a marksman supposed to farm without gold?!
Then it got worse.
Every time Sengoku was about to secure a kill, a Daji charm would fly in and steal it at the last second.
"KAIDO!!!" Sengoku bellowed, his mustache standing straight up in fury. His voice echoed through the entire office. "You are openly disrupting the game's balance!"
Meanwhile...
In the palace on Onigashima, Kaido was laughing so hard he bent over backward, his massive dragon tail thumping the ground rhythmically.
"Wororororo... Let's see how you plan to win now, old man!"
He even typed in all-chat:
[Fleet Admiral-sama, do you need assistance?]
To add insult to injury, when the enemy team grouped up to push high ground, Kaido's Daji was hiding in the fountain—dancing.
"REPORT! I'M REPORTING YOU!"
Sengoku was forced to fight solo. In the end, the big, taunting word Defeat flashed across the screen.
He slammed his phone down on the desk. With a loud crack, the desk instantly shattered.
His furious roar echoed through Marineford:
"YOU SCOUNDREL!!!"
At that moment, the TikTok clip titled #FleetAdmiralVSFourEmperorsRageMatch went completely viral.
Netizens lost their minds in the comments. Laughter filled every corner of the platform.
>"The most miserable Fleet Admiral in history! HHHH!"
>"Kaido playing Daji support is the funniest thing I've ever seen."
>"Protect Sengoku's psychological damage zone!"
To make matters worse, Kaido sent Sengoku a friend request after the match:
[Old man, same time tomorrow 😏?]
Sengoku nearly crushed his phone. But then, his anger twisted into something more... strategic. A cunning smile crept across his face.
"Very well... Next time I'll pick a hero better at stealing kills than Daji. If we're losing anyway, might as well make it both our losses!"
He turned and shouted at the door, "Someone! Get all the tactical analysts from the Staff Office!"
...
The next morning.
Before the sun had even fully risen, an unprecedented "entertainment storm" had swept across the seas.
TikTok's trending page was completely dominated by:
[Fleet Admiral VS Emperor Kaido: Canyon Love-Hate Relationship]
The match replay spread like wildfire. Play counts exploded past ten million in just hours.
At a bar on the Sabaody Archipelago, pirates had gathered early around a large screen, laughing uproariously.
On the screen, Sengoku's frustrated expressions were on loop, sparking bursts of laughter from everyone watching.
"Look at Sengoku's face! Hahaha!"
Someone joked, "Kaido's kill-stealing is straight criminal!"
The iconic moments of the match were quickly turned into memes that exploded across the pirate world:

These became the most popular reaction stickers in pirate chat groups.
...
In the Marineford mess hall,
Young recruits were red-faced from trying not to laugh. They peeked under the table at their phones, scrolling through the comment section.
One line after another made it harder and harder to keep a straight face:
>"What kind of fate is this?!"
>"I ship them! I ship them!"
>"Just let them get married already!"
"Y'all trying to die? The Fleet Admiral reads the comments!"
A suffocating atmosphere of repressed laughter filled the entire mess hall, ready to erupt at any moment.
Back in Sengoku's office, the old Fleet Admiral was visibly trembling with rage. His hands were clenched tight, knuckles white as stone.
Every time he refreshed TikTok, the comments got worse:
"Shocking! Centenarian and Yonko—Sweet Duo Queue in the Canyon!"
"10,000 Scenarios of an Age-Gap Romance!"
"Sengoku, don't be mad! Kaido just really cares about you~"
"This is outrageous!!!" Sengoku slammed the table, shattering his third teacup. Tea spilled across his papers in a chaotic mess.
He furiously hit the report button... but a system prompt appeared:
[Detected: Your intimacy level with Kaido has reached 'Bestie'. Report feature temporarily locked.]
That was the final blow. Sengoku was left speechless, quaking with fury.
Meanwhile...
Kaido's arrogant laughter echoed through Onigashima.
Lounging on his dragon throne, he scrolled through the comments section with glee, even liking a few of the most ridiculous ones.
"Wororororo... That old man must be seething right now!"
He reposted the most viral video with the caption: [Still gonna troll you next time!]
And that wasn't even the worst part.
Overnight, some genius netizens made a meme video.
In it, Sengoku's Luban No.7 and Kaido's Daji were photoshopped into a wedding scene, complete with romantic background music. The views exploded instantly.
Even Whitebeard reposted it, commenting:
"Gurararara... Should I bring a gift?"
Which instantly sent the trend to a new peak.
Marineford's Staff Office scrambled to hold an emergency meeting about this PR disaster.
But the young strategists were shaking with suppressed laughter. They were completely useless.
No one could focus. The entire room was filled with shoulders twitching and stifled snorts.
Some tried to suggest damage control, only to burst into laughter at their own words.
Meanwhile, on a certain ship in the New World...
Ron was laughing so hard he couldn't stand straight.
"These netizens are insane! Too much talent!"
Tears of laughter ran down his face as he boosted the algorithm.
"Looks like I need to match more of these 'fated pairs' together."
Sengoku finally had enough and turned off TikTok notifications, trying to find peace.
But every time he opened Honor of Kings to blow off steam...
That cursed notification was still there:
[Strongest Creature Kaido (Online)]
Those four words stared back at him like a blood pressure gauge—one that never went down.
