Chapter 334: Three Years
The year 1515 of the sea calendar.
New World, the headquarters of the World Economic News Agency, the president of "Big News" Morgans, is yelling at his subordinates: "Big news, I want big news!" How long has it been since there been any big news? Are you all a bunch of rice buckets?! ”
Morgans is not a human being, but a very strange creature.
He's a big talking bird, and no one knows if he's a fur tribe or a real vulture that eats the "fruit of all", or ...... Is it a human who disguises himself as a big bird?
He himself is "big news".
Since last year's quadrennial World Conference, the "Monchi Murphy" was held. After D. Dorag was positioned as "the world's most vicious criminal", it has been a long time since there has been a big news that moved the whole world on this sea.
"The sales of the newspaper have fallen below the red line, and if it continues like this, believe it or not, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish?!"
Morgans's face was red-eared, his teeth and claws, and the president, who was "not human" in the first place, trained his editors to tremble like quails in the face of eagles.
After a chilling silence, one editor cautiously raised his hand.
"Say!"
Morgans glared at the man, his red eyes so red that the editor couldn't help but shrink his neck.
"The kingdom of Jerma in the North Sea has successfully conquered another country......"
Although Morgans's newspaper is called the "World Economic News Agency", their newspaper is actually a comprehensive newspaper, and the circulation is huge, not limited to the New World, as long as it can attract people's attention, they will stuff the newspaper into the newspaper.
But this time, Morgans was clearly not very happy with the news: "Readers have long been accustomed to the expansion of the territory of the 66 family, and there is no need to report it in the future, and when the page is rich, the news about them can be kept to make up the number." Next! ”
"The World Government has a large explosion of unknown cause at the experimental base of Punk Hazard, and a large amount of poison gas is filled with the island......"
"The subject matter is okay, but how can this kind of news be expanded? A simple report can only make up a number, and in-depth analysis is not looking for death? Next! ”
Although Morgans has a strong background, he generally does not care about the eyes of the world government.
For example, two years ago, when a powerful pirate cut off the right hand of the former admiral "Black Wrist" Zefa, Morgans unceremoniously appeared in the newspapers.
At that time, he also fought hard for the sales of the newspaper, and even related the destruction of the kingdom of Sikaiar on the island of Kulegana, the great voyage of the same year, to the pirate named "Edward Weibull".
Later, the world's No. 1 swordsman "Hawkeye" Jorakol Mihawk ran to the ruined kingdom of Sikaiar to settle down.
With the help of the writers, this really greatly increased the sales of the newspaper at that time.
But on a topic like today, which the people don't care much about, he can't afford to offend the world government.
In the midst of troubled times, how many people would be interested in caring about the explosion of an experimental base?
But in addition to this, Morgans also had times when he was deflated.
Two years ago, the world's number one "empress" Boya Hancock seemed to be addicted to playing since she went to the "Golden City" Gran Tezzolo once, and she would go there for a spin when she had nothing to do.
At that time, Morgans thought that he had caught the scandal of the "world's number one beauty", thought that there was a leg between Hancock and Tezzolo, and even made up the title "The story that has to be told between the world's first beauty and the world's richest man".
As a result, within a week, several of Morgens's branches in the park were destroyed, and all the journalists were mercilessly reduced to stone by the woman, and even if he later mobilized the world government to intercede with Hancock, he could not get the woman to turn the petrified employees back.
It was a month of panic, with employees everywhere, especially the journalists in Paradise, in danger and the World Economic News Agency almost going out of business.
As a result, it was Morgans's hemorrhage that saved most of the staff — the biggest loss Morgans has suffered since the news agency was founded.
He still couldn't figure out what kind of magic the woman named "Boya Hancock" had mastered. After only seeing one moment, the officials of the world government obediently withdrew, and instead talked about their own mistakes.
There are times when your background doesn't work?
This is really evil!
Morgans rubbed his temples with his eyes closed and said, "Is there any news that can arouse the great interest of the public, such as who is fighting with whom again?" ”
After a brief silence, a young editor stood up: "My uncle is a colonel in the navy, and he said that the navy has just recently established the seventh candidate for the 'Seven Martial Seas'. ”
"Your Majesty's Seven Martial Seas?"
Morgans's eyes lit up, this kind of news involving both the Navy and the pirates could make up a lot of stories.
"That's right, the new king of the Seven Martial Seas is a pirate called 'Blood Demon' Klose, with a bounty of 280 million Bailey!"
"Only 280 million Bailey?"
Morgans's face pulled down again, he had seen a lot of pirates in the New World, and he was a little indifferent to this kind of pirates with less than 300 million Baileys.
The young reporter was full of confidence: "Yes, but this 'blood demon' Klose has a bounty of 280 million Bailey for the first time!" ”
"So powerful?" Morgans was taken aback.
He still remembers that the last time such a fierce pirate was the "ghost" Carl, who soared from 81 million Baileys to 500 million Baileys and then to 1 billion Baileys in one year.
But since defeating Charlotte Katakuri, that Karl hasn't made any big news, and for a journalist, Morgans is a little disappointed.
"Yes."
The young reporter Zhengse said: "'Blood Demon' Klose, a superhuman 'Blood Fruit' ability, can temporarily improve his combat effectiveness by absorbing other people's blood in battle, and his weapon is a supreme fast knife called 'Demon Knife Muramasa'!" ”
Morgansmo rubbed his chin and thought to himself that "blood fruits" and "demon knives" were excellent subjects for compiling news: "Very good, keep talking." ”
"It is said that this man is a madman similar to the 'Hundred Beasts' Kaido, looking for strong people everywhere to challenge, regardless of whether he is a navy or a pirate, he will kill if he can fight, and run away if he can't beat him.
However, apart from three losses to Mihawk 'Hawkeye' so far, 'Bloodfiend' Klose has not lost to anyone else. ”
"Is the message accurate?"
"Absolutely reliable and accurate!"
"Good!"
Morgans' expression finally returned to normal.
Compared to the Big Bang in the laboratory, the battle between the strong on the sea is the content that can really attract the reader's attention!
……
For this "Blood Demon" Klose, Karl also noticed this newly rising "King Seven Martial Seas" for the first time.
Now Hawkeye is not as eager for quick success as before, and will not kill the challenger at every turn.
After losing his last opponent, red-haired Shanks, Hawkeye is also bored.
However, there are very few swordsmen who are strong enough to keep Hawkeye alive.
But how could such a madman-like character have been obscure until now?
This guy can't be a spy of the Revolutionary Army breaking into the navy again, right?
And unlike Bartholomy Bear's gentle personality, this "Blood Demon" Klose has an extremely bad personality, if he is a member of the revolutionary army, then his only role is to use it to divert the attention of the Navy and cover for the Great Bear.
But after all, it also occupies the position of a king's Seven Martial Seas, and it will be a good thing for the revolutionary army.
With Carl's contact with the Revolutionary Army in recent years, Robin has already investigated that the main departments of the Revolutionary Army are all on the Red Clay Continent!
No wonder the Navy has never been able to find a hiding place for the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, because that is the pot of the Army!
Baldigo, the white soil island of the New World, is probably just a dispensable pseudo-headquarters of the revolutionary army.
However, even so, Robin only investigated that the main force of the revolutionary army was on the Red Clay Continent, and their real headquarters was still a mystery.
Carl didn't let Robin reveal his true identity to the Revolutionary Army, but only gave them some historical texts that Robin had studied, which was of little use to Carl anyway.
The Red Earth, which circles the planet and cannot be easily crossed, divides the entire planet into two parts.
East China Sea, South China Sea and Paradise.
The West Sea, the North Sea and the New World.
The Navy's special warships have been modified to safely cross the windless zone, which allows the Navy to travel from the Great Shipping Route to the East and South China Seas at will.
The West Sea and the North Sea are on both sides of the New World, and even if the navy wants to go to the West Sea and the North Sea, it must rely on the Fish-Man Island on the bottom of the sea or the occasional countercurrent of the Upside-Down Mountain.
As a result, the navy's forces in the West Sea and North Sea are stretched, and the Kara family and the Vince Mock family have gradually gained true dominance in the dark world of the West Sea and North Sea.
But unlike the revolutionary army, which is roaming around the world to develop power, Kahlert's main development now is military power.
Under the research of many scientists such as Frankie, Tom, and Asier, although the Devil Fruit artificial intelligence has not yet been realized, the transformation of propeller-propelled ships has been fully realized!
It was only this year that the Navy relied on the genius scientist Vegapunk to invent a propeller-propelled ship capable of crossing windless zones.
They didn't know that at an altitude of 10,000 meters, there was already another group of forces that had also obtained one of the same technologies that were "500 years ahead of the world" as them!
Not only that, but because of Sky Island's specialty "Jet Shell", Kahlert's ship even has a total of three powers!
Sails, propellers, and sails!
Even because of Frankie's genius, the energy of the Kahlert ship can rely on Coke instead of diesel, which is extremely environmentally friendly!
As for the efficiency of fuel, it is even higher than the internal combustion engine or steam engine of the Navy, which relies on diesel or coal!
In order to transport resources from the ground to the island, the three scientists even invented a flying machine called a "rotary-wing cargo plane" based on Karl's suggestion, and also installed a jet shell in case of energy shortage.
The principle is the same as that of a helicopter, but the appearance is 108,000 miles different from a real helicopter.
In addition to Kallert's invention, Chopper, who was far away on Magnetic Drum Island, also invented a pill called the "Blue Wave Ball".
Eating one for animal-based Devil Fruit abilities can change the wavelength of the Devil Fruit's transformation, increasing the number of transformations to seven, but the duration is only three minutes.
Eating the second one within six hours will disrupt the morphing wavelength and will not be able to control the Devil Fruit ability.
If you eat three in a row, you will lose consciousness and enter a state of "rampage", becoming a giant beast that only knows how to destroy, and if you don't use anesthetics or sea building stones to stop it, or if you push the capable person into the seawater, the capable person will be in danger of life.
At this time, the side effects of the blue wave ball are extremely large.
However, Karl liked it, because he might be able to pit Kaido's animal army at that time......
Watching the forces that he was linked to develop day by day, Carl's heart became more and more steady.
Now even if he is just facing the Four Emperors, Callert will not be easily defeated by them.
The only pity now is that I haven't absorbed a smile into Kahlert.
Two years ago, a smile had left Carl to return to the New World.
He said he wouldn't join Kahlert until Carl won the bet between them.
But Karl is not in a hurry at all now, because that day ...... Soon!
"Hey, Carl, so you're here!"
Karl had just finished confirming the safety of the Thunder Fruit when he was lying on top of the head of the Lord of the Sky (the name of the serpent) with his eyes closed.
The Lord of the Sky, who was also closing his eyes and recuperating, didn't even move when he heard the familiar voice.
"Frankie? Can I help you? ”
Karl jumped off the Sky Lord's head, confused.
"The current artillery and muskets are super powerful that I have modified, and I have also made rifled guns for you, when can I think of a way to do a world government?"
Ever since Frankie learned that Carl was younger than him, he stopped calling Carl Big Brother.
"Why are you in a hurry? With your small body, the Admiral can scratch you to death with one claw! ”
Frankie, who has not modified his body, has a figure similar to that of his normal peers, and he doesn't even have the iconic three chins after the transformation.
"But I can't wait!" Frankie was wearing only a pair of pants, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.
"I can't wait, I have to wait!"
Carl said solemnly: "Think about the damage you did to Mr. Tom before, isn't it because you can't hold your breath?" ”
After being lectured by Carl, Frankie left the place dejectedly.
However, when he thought that he could make "General French" after researching the "Tun Factory", he became excited again.
He couldn't even wait to eat the "swallowing fruit" himself.
Looking at Frankie's back as he scurried away, Carl smiled and shook his head.
Back at the temple at the top of the giant bean vine, Carl made phone call after call.
"It's almost time to close the net!"
