Chapter 159 - Chapter 159: Straw Hat Luffy's Background? The Prince Travels the Grand Line on a Budget!

Under the morning sun, TikTok's hot search rankings were completely dominated by topics related to "One Piece."

Countless analysis videos emerged like mushrooms after rain, among which the most popular was the topic #Straw Hat Luffy's Identity Revealed#, with over a billion views in just a few hours.

Trending Video 1: "Shocking! Straw Hat's True Identity Is Actually..."

In the video, a well-known analysis blogger, "King of the Ocean's Understanding," was excitedly waving a laser pointer:

"According to the hint in Chapter 37 of the novel, Luffy's Straw Hat was inherited from Red-Haired Shanks!

And the latest updated Chapter 89 even reveals—his grandfather is Marine Hero Garp!

Also, in Loguetown, that man like the wind, could he be Luffy's father? His back looks a lot like Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army!

The barrage instantly exploded:

[Holy crap! His background is even harder than the Celestial Dragons!]

[No wonder Kizaru went easy on him, this is the Crown Prince!]

[@Koby, brother, you looked really cool blocking Akainu!]

[I thought it was a commoner's rise, turns out it's the Crown Prince slumming it on the Grand Line!]

[No wonder Garp and Dragon weren't worried when Luffy was imprisoned in Impel Down, turns out they had already arranged a way out!]

[Damn it! @Marine, hurry up and pull out all of Luffy's backup plans, it's infuriating to watch!]

[Marine: Received, processing now!]

Seeing the comments on TikTok,

Vice Admiral Yamakaji, the head of intelligence, had fine beads of sweat on his forehead. The tablet in his hands displayed the top ten trending topics on TikTok, all uniformly related to "One Piece."

The most glaring one was: #Marine Incompetent! Impel Down Is a Sieve#.

"Rep-report, Fleet Admiral!" Yamakaji's voice trembled slightly, "Public opinion has spiraled out of control. The entire network is now discussing Impel Down's security loopholes, especially... especially that 5.5th floor..."

Fleet Admiral Sengoku's temples throbbed. He snatched his phone, his fingers scrolling through the shocking comments:

[@Marineford Are your prisons public restrooms? Come and go as you please?]

[It's one thing for Luffy and them to escape, but even Blackbeard can just break in and bust people out?]

[Suggest Magellan switch careers and become a tour guide (dog head emoji)]

"Ga-Garp!" Sengoku squeezed the name through his clenched teeth, abruptly turning to look at his old friend who was secretly eating senbei, "Were all these backup plans arranged by you?!"

Garp looked up blankly, senbei crumbs still clinging to the corner of his mouth: "Huh? What backup plans?" He leaned over to look at the screen, then suddenly slapped his thigh and burst out laughing, "Puhahaha! So that's how Straw Hat Luffy escaped! Creative!"

Sengoku's fists clenched, cracking his knuckles: "I'm asking you, that ability user who can dig tunnels..."

"Oh, that one." Garp picked his nose, "That's Dragon's man, has nothing to do with me." He suddenly his eyes lit up, "But that kid did a great job! Much more exciting than the things I did back then!"

"Shut up!" Sengoku slammed his desk, shattering it, and roared at the waiting orderly, "Immediately execute three orders."

"First, rebuild Impel Down, with all walls reinforced with Sea Stone concrete; second, completely abolish the 5.5th floor, filling all secret passages with lava; third—" his voice suddenly rose, "Confine that 'Pass-Pass Fruit' ability user in a specially designed cell in the deepest part of LEVEL 6, with three shifts of guards watching him daily!"

Staff Officer Tsuru suddenly frowned: "Wait, isn't that ability user already..."

"Report!" The communicator rushed in frantically, "Just received an urgent telegram from Impel Down! The 'Push-Push Fruit' ability user, 'Tunnel Man' Mori, last night... dug a tunnel and disappeared!"

The office instantly fell silent.

Garp's senbei 'plop' dropped to the floor. He mechanically turned to look out the window—at some point, a dark cloud had drifted over Marineford, with faint lightning flickering within.

"Dragon, you rascal..." Garp muttered softly, "Your actions are even faster than yours..."

Sengoku slowly took off his glasses, looking as if he had aged ten years: "Find him! Find him immediately!"

"Also, notify the Science Unit." His voice was terrifyingly hoarse, "Initiate the 'Absolute Barrier Plan.' I want to turn Impel Down into an iron barrel where not even an ant can crawl out!"

Just then, Kizaru strolled in, legs crossed: "Yeah~ Do you need this old man to go hunt down the Revolutionary Army~" He gave Garp a meaningful look, "My salary is negotiable~"

"Wait! Didn't you go to find the author of 'One Piece'?"

Borsalino rolled his eyes at Sengoku: "Is this something I can find?"

Sengoku's response was a thick "One Piece" novel thrown directly at Kizaru, but Kizaru caught it: "You first explain to me clearly, in the Sabaody Archipelago arc, why it says you went easy at the Sabaody Archipelago!!"

Kizaru:....

At the same time, more trending videos caught everyone's attention,

"Those Unlucky Guys Defeated by Luffy"

The editing master "New World Editor" compiled the battle scenes from the novel into a montage, accompanied by rousing BGM:

- Foxy of Long Ring Long Land was sent flying with one punch

- All CP9 members were utterly defeated at Enies Lobby

- Gekko Moriah's shadow army was completely annihilated

In the comment section, the accounts of the involved parties appeared one after another:

[Foxy:??? I'm going to strengthen my defenses right now!]

[Rob Lucci: I'm done for, after undercover for over ten years, I'm exposed! Author, come out and fight me!]

[Moriah: Bullshit! My zombie army is invincible!]

Long Ring Long Land,

Long Ring Long Land was shrouded in mist in the early morning, and the Foxy Pirates' flag fluttered in the wind.

Suddenly, a sharp alarm blared across the entire island—

"Beep—beep—Emergency assembly for all! Repeat, emergency assembly for all!"

Foxy stood on a high platform, his signature long nose twisted with anger, every strand of his pink afro standing on end, looking like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He held up his phone in his right hand, the screen clearly showing the "One Piece" Long Ring Long Land arc—"Two out of Three Falls! Straw Hat Luffy Brutally Beats Silver Fox Foxy!"

"All of you, look closely!" His voice became shrill with hysteria, his finger frantically poking at the illustration on the screen of himself being sent flying, "This is the consequence of underestimating your enemy! This is the consequence of not upgrading your equipment!"

The crew members below were silent with fear. Hamburg cautiously raised his hand: "B-boss, that's just a novel..."

"Bullshit!" Foxy ripped off his cape, revealing a new, glittering golden battle suit underneath—this was the "Anti-Straw Hat Special Attack Gear" custom-ordered overnight from a craftsman in Water 7, with a gold-stamped "NO.1" logo on the chest.

"Starting today!" He jumped onto a newly assembled holographic projector, "Training volume tripled! All traps upgraded!"
