"The story is interesting...... Oda-san, what would you do if this short story got a long-form serialization opportunity? ”

After watching Junichiro Oda's short version of One Piece, Meng Zhe said - because of Meng Zhe's existence and being Meng Zhe's assistant during this time, Junichiro Oda is now drawing a short story that is much more delicate than the original short story, but the story has not changed much.

It's still Luffy-san drifting in a small boat.,A strange bird fell from the sky and sank his ship.,And then the villain of the pirate captain with six pigtails appeared.,The heroine who looks like Nami is tied to the ship...... In the end, it was naturally the villain Hexagonal Pirate who was beaten away, and the beauty that Luffy hugged returned.

The Devil Fruit did appear, but it was not the red-haired Shanks who gave Luffy the Devil Fruit, but Luffy's pirate captain Grandpa.

"Yes, yes, if I can get a long serial, I'll add more pirate captains with Devil Fruits! Increases the ...... the protagonist It will also add ......"

Junichiro Oda nodded again and again, and said his long-form idea, but after all, it was three years in advance, and he hadn't thought of the 'Great Secret Treasure' of One Piece Roger, the world's political axe, the navy, and the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty, Oda Eiichiro also hadn't thought of it either.

"Sounds pretty good, but Oda-san, have you ever thought about making the background setting bigger? For example, at the beginning of the serial, the reader is told that the basis of the pirates' great activity is actually because a certain pirate king who has hung up has hidden almost countless wealth in some mysterious place? ”

After patiently listening to Junichiro Oda's words, Meng Zhe had a rough idea of Junichiro Oda's current thoughts, so Meng Zhe opened his mouth to guide Junichiro Oda's thinking.

"One Piece's Secret Treasure...... Is it? Junichiro Oda tilted his head and thought about it very seriously, and then he felt that Meng Zhe's prompt was like it was tailor-made for him, so he shouted and continued: "Hey——, it's interesting! It's really fun! Mr. Jigi, sure enough, with this setting, the story will become very interesting! In this way, readers will have a goal to follow, and they will definitely want the protagonist of the manga to obtain this great secret treasure and become the new One Piece...... Mr. Jiji, you are a genius cartoonist! I'm too far behind you! ”

Meng Zhe actually wanted to say: Oda Yi, Oda Yi, in fact, where am I a genius cartoonist? The ideas I mentioned originally belonged to you, so it's not right for you to praise me so much.

But Meng Zhe also knew that even if he really said this kind of thing, Junichiro Oda would probably only think he was joking.

So, Meng Zhe could only continue with a slightly dark heart and a slightly strange complexion: "Oda-san, since you want to draw comics about pirates, then you should have conducted in-depth research on those pirates in the Age of Discovery, and why pirates were so prosperous, right?" ”

"I can't say that I have studied in depth, but I have only checked some information a little......"

Junichiro Oda replied more humbly, in fact, he did his homework quite sufficiently, but due to limited financial resources and the fact that the computer network is not yet developed in this era, and the omnipotent Du Niang does not exist, Junichiro Oda only understands the Age of Discovery, which can only be said to be a lot more than ordinary people, but it is only scratching the surface compared to experts.

"Hmm...... Actually, I'm also quite interested in the Age of Discovery, and I once came up with the idea of drawing a nautical manga in the past, so I was able to talk to Oda-san about it. I think that the background of this kind of comic should be set as grandly as possible, and the pirates should have the shadow of the country behind them, and the country should have a navy...... In this way, many stories can be devised between pirates and pirates, between pirates and navies, and between navies and navies...... Remember, you can't set a world political axe that dominates the world. ”

After Meng Zhe nodded, he continued to say his thoughts, if he said that he was setting up a big secret treasure or something, it was just Meng Zhe 'relaying' Eiichiro's thoughts about Oda's future. Then, these words now have some of Meng Zhe's thoughts between him.

In Meng Zhe's view, the most incredible thing in One Piece is the existence of the world political axe. Normal people should be able to imagine that if the world is unified, then under the crushing of powerful state violence, pirates will still have a fart to survive.

Only when the world is divided into countless countries, can piracy have a chance to run rampant, the most obvious example is the Somali pirates, if it is not for Somalia's own waste wood, and the countries that run to escort the ship, including China, have their own small abacus...... Just with those pirate scum speedboats, AK47s, rocket launchers, and just two warships sent by China, you can make a clear Haiyan River, right?

Of course, Meng Zhe reminded Junichiro Oda not to engage in the setting of world politics, but he wanted to bring some private goods into Eiichiro Oda's version of "One-Piece".

If in the alternate world of One Piece, there is no world political axe but is divided into multiple countries, then it is a matter of course that a character with an ancient Chinese background appears, right?

"Huh?! Mr. Jiji, I think it's a good idea to set it up as a unified world political axe, right? In this way, you can design a lot of characters with few appearances, and you can save a lot of time thinking about the main story......"

Oda Eiichiro said a little weakly, under Meng Zhe's 'reminder', he felt that setting up an organization like the World Political Axe seemed to be much simpler than setting up many political axes.

"Stupid! Have you seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Only about three countries will appear, and the other countries will only mention their names a little when they need them! In this way, the characters are actually not more troublesome than setting a single world political axe...... A country with a Spanish background, a country with a British background, and a country with an oriental background are all working! ”

Meng Zhe was a little crazy, he first felt that being a responsible editor was a very laborious thing, he was obviously checking and correcting bugs for Oda Eiichiro, but Oda Yi's thinking was still crooked.

"That...... Mr. Jiji, I haven't watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" yet. ”

Eiichiro Oda replied in a weaker voice.

“？！” Meng Zhe's eyes widened, he felt that this should not be done, didn't he like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms very much, and admired Liu Guanzhang?

So, after taking a deep breath, Meng Zhe continued: "It's okay, if you haven't read it, I will ask someone to help you get a set of Chinese versions, and I will also ask someone to get the information about those famous pirates in the Age of Discovery!" By the way, there is also the information of the maritime powers of the Age of Discovery......"

"Teacher Jiji, please don't do so much for me, it's too rude for you to trouble too much!" Eiichiro Oda jumped up and began to bow, saying that he had cultivated the kind of indifferent surname that he had cultivated after World War II and did not want to help others in trouble, but he had maintained it quite well.

"It's okay at all, I did it because I was optimistic about you!" Meng Zhe waved his hand very arrogantly, but then he showed his fox tail: "Oda, this short story of yours will be published in the next issue of "Anime Boys"......"

According to the rules that have been agreed upon by Tianjiao Society's "Anime Boy" magazine, all authors who publish comics on Anime Boys, whether they are short or long, must sign a contract - and one of the contracts for short serialization clearly states that "Anime Boy" has the right to publish the long serialization of this short story first.

In other words, as long as Eiichiro Oda signs this contract, Meng Zhe is equivalent to getting the long-form serialization rights of One Piece in the entire Chinese mainland.

"Huh?! Mr. Gigi, you're not kidding me, are you? Are you really going to make this Romance-Dawn of my anime shon?! ”

Meng Zhe's words, but made Oda Eiichiro's happy little heart flutter and jump, Tianjiao Society's "Anime Boy" now has its sales of 600,000 copies, and it is still growing every month, looking at the entire continent, there are almost no other anime magazines that can compete with "Anime Boy".

This is clear, it is even more domineering than Shueisha's weekly "Shonen Jump", the first animation magazine in China's animation industry!

Also, since "Anime Shonen" established the monthly censor system, Meng Zhe, who is the president, has long stopped reviewing whether short comics are published!

Therefore, in Eiichiro Oda's view, Meng Zhe said that his "Romance-Dawn" would be published in the next issue, which is clear...... It's clearly a hundredfold more glorious than winning the Tezuka Prize!

Poor Eiichiro Oda didn't know at all that Meng Zhe personally opened his mouth to publish this short story, where he was giving him a hundredfold honor for the Tezuka Prize, but giving him a wow...... In this way, Eiichiro Oda, who was so excited, signed the contract for the publication of short manga, which was actually not harsh.

With the contract here, Meng Zhe began to talk about Eiichiro Oda, although ninety percent of the content he talked about was the content of Eiichiro Oda's original One Piece, and only about one percent of the original modifications, but Eiichiro Oda He is not a reborn!

Therefore, during Meng Zhe's explanation, Eiichiro Oda let out exclamations again and again, and he felt that the One Piece world conceived by Meng Zhe was what he really wanted to paint...... Mr. Jiji is worthy of being a genius who only comes out of ten years in the comics industry, and it shouldn't be one in a hundred years!

The One Piece world that Meng Zhe 'conceived' caused a very high resonance in Oda's heart, and at the end of the explanation, his gaze at Meng Zhe had completely changed - if Oda Eiichiro originally worshipped Teacher Jiji at the ordinary level, then now he has been completely transformed into the first fanatic believer of the 'worship of Mengjiji God Cult', and he is also a god-level fanatical believer.

"Teacher Gigi! Please allow me to make the original work of this manga you, and I will make the original drawing! I'm so lucky to be able to use your story as the original art! Please promise me...... Please, Mr. Jigi! ”

Eiichiro Oda, a fanatical believer, was extremely emotional when he said this.

That look, it is clear that if Meng Zhe doesn't agree, Oda Eiichiro will go to find death and life, and he will go to seppuku!

So, after Meng Zhe repeatedly resigned, he could only reluctantly accept Eiichiro Oda's request, and it became the original work of One Piece that was basically absolutely serialized.

After Meng Zhe agreed to become the original, Eiichiro Oda, who was so happy that he was about to faint, said goodbye with his beating heart.

Looking at Eiichiro Oda who was going out, Meng Zhe suddenly felt that this thing was really interesting, so he ran to call Kishimoto Kishi to his office again.

"Kishimoto-san, Oda, he drew a very interesting short story, and I have decided to publish it in the next issue of "Anime Shonen". Oda said that you seem to be drawing some kind of short story as well, how are you doing now? ”

After pouring a glass of water for Kishimoto Qishi, Meng Zhe asked with a smile.

"That guy Oda, it's really unreliable! But he's so lucky! Kishimoto Qishi first complained in a low voice, and then answered Meng Zhe's question with some embarrassment: "Mr. Jiji, that guy Oda didn't lie to you, I am indeed creating a manga with our samurai as the protagonist." However, Kazuki-sensei's "Rogue Kenshin" has been serialized on Shonen Jump since April, and now it seems to have been a big success, and it's completely impossible to make a debut with this kind of manga......"

Nani?!

Kishimoto Kishimoto, this guy actually wanted to draw samurai manga before drawing "Naruto"?

In this way, Nobuhiro Kazuki, the undisciplined man, indirectly contributed to the birth of "Naruto".

Meng Zhe, who was thinking like this in his heart, said like this on his mouth: "Kishimoto-san, are you worried about what kind of comics to draw now?" ”

Of course, Kishimoto Kishi was worried about this question, so he replied without hesitation, "Yes, Jiji-sensei!" I'm really distressed right now...... Being an assistant to the teacher has taught me a lot of things, and I really want to draw something myself and show it to everyone! But I never thought I could draw anything other than samurai manga......"

Very good! Very good!

Kogishimoto, if you've already figured out what you're going to paint, didn't I call you here for nothing?

Thinking like this, Meng Zhe smiled and opened his mouth again, and said in a very seductive tone: "Kishimoto-san, in fact, in addition to the samurai of your country, we also have a lot of themes in China that can be used!" Well...... Do you know Qin Shi Huang? ”

After Kishimoto Qi Shi replied that Xu Fu, who was sent by Qin Shi Huang, was the first naturalized person to arrive in Yueben, Meng Zhe continued: "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period before Qin Shi Huang, there were many kingdoms and Confucianism, Legalism, soldiers, Mohists, doctors, Taoists, and miscellaneous families...... A hundred schools of thought contend. You may not know that the ninjas in your country actually have a lot to do with the Mo family among the hundred schools...... The martial arts of the Mo family, the mechanism of the Mo family......"
