"Video Through Anime: Inventory of the Top Ten Combat Ceilings"

Chapter 9: 9: The Legendary Pirate Whitebeard



[Due to the outstanding performance of the previous edited video in the Multi-Dimensional Anime Projection, the official platform has classified it as a viral short video.]

[This video will automatically be recommended to a large number of dimensional users within the Multi-Dimensional Anime Projection. We hope creator Bei Feng continues to strive for even better content. The official platform expresses its sincere appreciation!]

Upon successfully uploading the video, Bei Feng received the system notification from the platform and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"This is definitely another viral hit. With this kind of exposure, it's impossible not to blow up!"

Bei Feng smirked smugly, clicking his tongue a few times.

"So this is the power of a positive feedback loop? I love it. Tonight, I'm definitely going to unwind and enjoy myself to the fullest."

After completing all necessary operations post-upload, Bei Feng shut down his computer and muted notifications for the Multi-Dimensional Anime Projection app.

If he didn't, the constant ding-ding-ding of notifications would drive him crazy.

Pulling out his phone, he dialed Wang Hai's number and shouted into the receiver.

"Hey! Wang Hai, bro! I'm taking you out tonight—let's party! Call some girls, go all out! The bill's on me!"

He hesitated for a moment before adding awkwardly,

"If you don't help me spend this 700,000 yuan tonight, I'm not calling you my bro anymore."

On the other end, Wang Hai was completely stunned. After a long pause, he finally spoke, concerned.

"Bei Feng, how much have you had to drink? Do you need me to come pick you up? You sound delirious."

Bei Feng scoffed and let out a cold chuckle.

"Cut the crap. I'll send you the location. Be there in twenty minutes!"

Wang Hai found it impossible to believe that someone who had been living in a run-down rental apartment could suddenly throw around 700,000 yuan like it was nothing.

Blowing money like a king? Paying for everything?

Even in his dreams, he had never imagined Bei Feng doing something like this.

"Alright, alright. I actually have something to tell you, too. Our higher-ups want to meet you tomorrow night. Their attitude did a complete 180—they can't believe how much of a big shot you've become, but they're also scared of missing out on real talent. It's hilarious!"

Meanwhile, in the One Punch Man world, inside King's apartment, King sat expressionless, extending a single finger toward a bald-headed Saitama.

"I only need one finger to defeat you, Saitama. You're way too weak—I'm getting sleepy here."

Saitama gripped his game controller tightly, his face turning bright red with frustration like a steaming dumpling.

"I'm not done yet! You noob! I just got careless! I didn't dodge! Let's go again! I refuse to believe I can't beat you at least once today!"

Despite Saitama's burning fighting spirit, King remained utterly unfazed.

"Even the three-year-old kid in my building could destroy you with one hand. Saitama, you seriously have no talent for gaming. That combo just now—you must've been practicing it for a whole week. It was way too predictable."

"Shut up and pick your damn character already!"

King shook his head helplessly as his phone lit up with a notification from the Multi-Dimensional Anime Projection's trending section.

"Saitama, have you seen that trending video on the Multi-Dimensional Anime Projection? The one ranking the top ten strongest characters in anime?"

Still red-faced and furiously working his controller, Saitama grumbled.

"Nope!"

King yawned lazily.

"The creator mentioned the 'strongest shadow assassin of the Xuanwu Kingdom' in the video. But I've never heard of that person before. He's not in the Hero Association, and he doesn't look like a monster either."

Saitama, too busy getting beaten down in the game, didn't respond.

"By the way, what if this video exposes you, Saitama? How do you plan on handling the Hero Association?" King asked nonchalantly.

Saitama finally calmed down, considering the question.

"Handle what? I'm just a hero for fun. The only thing I need to handle is fighting monsters."

King was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

That was true.

A true hero only needed to fight monsters and protect people. Everything else was irrelevant.

Saitama selected his game character again, muttering,

"But still, your 'Emperor Engine' is kinda sus…"

"Focus your energy, wield the scissors with precision!"

After dispatching three unknown assassins, Wu Liuqi's phone buzzed with a new notification. He checked the screen and sighed dramatically.

"I wonder which unlucky fool is getting roasted this time. Ooh~ Director Jiang, you look so beautiful in your transformed state. But what was that kiss supposed to mean, huh~?"

Thunk!

A plum blossom dart struck Wu Liuqi right in his rear end. From the treetops, Meihua Thirteen leaped down, her blade-sharp hair dancing wildly in the air.

"You bastard! Prepare to die!"

"Mei… Mei, my dear! That wasn't what I meant! It was Director Jiang who forced me!"

Without any hesitation, Wu Liuqi abandoned resistance and bolted for his life under Meihua Thirteen's furious pursuit.

Naruto's shadow clones also received the Multi-Dimensional Anime Projection's notification.

"The strongest man in the world?"

Naruto broke into a cold sweat the moment he read the title. His first thought was of the battlefield… and Uchiha Madara.

A lone warrior, standing against an 80,000-strong ninja alliance.

The latest battle report had just come in.

Reanimated Madara had appeared on the battlefield, displaying overwhelming might.

Summoning multiple meteors, he obliterated the ninja alliance and left Tsuchikage Ōnoki gravely injured.

Was it him?

Kakarot: I really want to fight this assassin… but this guy looks even stronger. I wonder how powerful he actually is.

Zoro: One day, I'll become the world's strongest swordsman too! I'll make sure my name appears in this video!

Rimuru: The strongest man? Well, it's definitely not me—I don't even have a gender anymore.

Ainz: My name has to be ranked even higher on the list!

Somewhere in the One Piece world, aboard the Moby Dick, the Whitebeard Pirates were sailing across the open sea.

"Pops! Check this out! That video creator uploaded a new ranking—#9, titled 'The Strongest Man in the World'!"

Third Division Commander Jozu excitedly ran over, holding his phone.

"Pops, it's you! Look at this!"

"Hm?"

Whitebeard gazed at the night sky before shifting his attention to the screen.

As expected, the video featured him.

The title itself was a name that had belonged to him for years.

As the words faded, the screen revealed an apocalyptic battlefield—engulfed in flames.

Edward Newgate's eyes widened. His normally unwavering gaze trembled, and a faint shimmer of tears reflected in his pupils.

"This is… the God Valley battle?"
