Chapter 116: An Eventful Autumn and a Golden Lion Who Doesn't Speak of Martial Virtues! (New volume for subscription)
World Economic News (Special Issue, September 14, 1495)
Hello to all of you who are reading this newspaper and those who are planning to book this newspaper!
I am Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency, and on this special day, on behalf of all the staff of our company, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you who have supported our newspaper! Without you, our newspaper would not be where it is today!
Some readers may still be puzzled, is September 14 a special day?
Special, of course! Because just this morning, a new record was set in the arena of the Kingdom of Dressrosa in the New World - the sword fighter Cyrus reached 100 consecutive victories!!
This--of course it's a joke~
But it's really a piece of real news that happened this morning – after all, "don't miss a single valuable news in the world, so you can connect to the world without leaving your home", that's what we, World Economic News, are all about!
Ahem, a little off topic, let's get down to business – is September 14 a special day?
The answer is yes, because two years ago today, on September 14, 1493 in the Haiyuan calendar, our "World Economic News" underwent an unprecedented overhaul.
What you see today are the "Entertainment Section", "Food & Travel Section", "Celebrity Interview Section", "Comic Section" ...... And so on, all of these things that are now highly sought after by our employees since that reform.
If you have subscribed to our previous newspapers, then you must be amazed that compared with today's "World Economic News", the previous newspapers are simply inferior to toilet paper!
That's right! Your thoughts are exactly what we think! The "World Economic News" before September 14, 1493 in the Haiyuan calendar, even if we were to judge for ourselves, we must say that they sucked – because that's the truth.
After all, what kind of newspaper is a newspaper that doesn't even publish comics? (Just kidding~)
From 1493 to 1495, the two-year period was as short as it was short, and as long as it was long. To put it shortly, two years is only one-fiftieth of our company's goal of "providing excellent newspapers for the people of the world for at least 100 years"; In the long run, in the past two years, our "World Economic News" has developed from a news agency with average competitiveness to "the only cooperative news agency designated by the world government", and our "World Economic News" has also become the best-selling newspaper in the world with an absolute crushing advantage......
"As long as you read the newspaper, you have definitely read the World Economic News......"
"The captain's loyal companion, the competent guide of the tourists, the messenger of all - the World Economic News ......"
"Since reading the World Economic News, dating my girlfriend, and chatting with my friends, I don't have to worry about the topic anymore......"
"Don't just drink! Let's talk about the World Economic News! ”
……
The objective evaluation made by you is the best affirmation of the efforts made by our society in the past two years! We will make persistent efforts to make every day better than yesterday's World Economic News! All the best of the first issue!
Of course, on this special day, we also have some thoughts that we would like to express to our readers:
On the one hand, we will conduct an annual selection of the world's three major news every year from this year, that is, after 1495 of the Haiyuan calendar, to select the three blockbuster news that attract the most attention!
Moreover! We will do our best to interview the people involved in these three annual news.
Whether it's a high-ranking admiral who represents justice, or a vicious pirate who might put the life of the interviewer at risk – if you want to see it, we will do everything we can to bring you the first big news!
As for the other side......
I'm Morgans, your faithful big news provider! Thank you for subscribing to our newspaper! See you next time!

The Holy Land, Mary Joy, Between the Powers.
"I still think it's a bit inappropriate to hand over such a huge profit to a mere newspaper......
"But they're going to hand over 90 percent of their profits to our government, isn't that enough? They only took 10% of it......"
"That's because your granddaughter actually controls the newspaper, and nearly two-thirds of that 10% of the revenue goes to your family's income, that's why you say that, right?"
"You can't say that, this benefit belongs to our family, but it's also shared by all of our world nobles, isn't it?"
The knife-wielding Wu Lao Xing smiled, "What's more, in recent years, the government's various expenditures have become larger and larger, and the collection time process of heavenly gold has become longer and longer, this stable and expensive income can well alleviate the government's financial pressure......
"That's right...... The bottomless pit of the Navy aside, Incelton's annual maintenance costs alone are a headache. ”
"As the face of our government, the judicial ship has not expanded its funding for almost two years!"
"The last time the weapons and equipment of the army were replaced was the last ......"
"Mary Joy's plan to renovate the new town can't be put on hold because of lack of funding, right? I don't want to deal with that bunch of garbage. ”
"Okay, okay, I see what you mean,"
The five old stars with the knife carefully wiped the famous knife in his hand, "Take out two-thirds of the two-thirds of the income as CP0's talent training and activity funds, of course, the execution department I am responsible for does not participate in the distribution of this fund." ”
"Hmm...... If you think about it, there is still a lot to be said about this program, called the 'World Government Welfare Lottery'......"
"The investment in the CP sequence is always worth it, and it always needs to be expanded."
"Programs like this that can not only bring revenue to our world government, but also build a good image of our world government, must be strongly supported!"
"Seconded."
……
In the office of Marin Fando of the Navy Headquarters, Polusalino, who had been promoted to Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, put the "World Economic News" in his hand on his desk with satisfaction - this guy Morgans is really naturally suitable for the news industry, and Polusalino only gave him a few words, and he made this special issue look good.
Of course, satisfaction is not 100%, and Porusalino has some regrets. As soon as he thought of these regretful points, he couldn't help but sigh.
(Due to the constraints of time, it is still a little worse after all...... )
(The year 1493, 1494, or 1495 in the Haiyuan calendar is also good...... There's no real big news, Gensokyo is as calm as ever...... )
(Originally, this time in the plot was a big event of killing his father after many flamengo blackened, but now this plot has been changed by me...... And even if it hadn't changed, this kind of thing would never have been in the newspapers......)
(As for the rest of the news...... Tsk, there are some future celebrities born during this time, such as Nicole Robin, Hody Jones, Hancock, Hawkins...... And so on, but these are all people who will only be famous in the future, and there is nothing too noteworthy now......)
(Even Kuzan, who officially joined the Navy service sequence the year before last, is not big news...... Gu Yan
(It seems that the hope of a surge in newspaper sales can only be pinned on next year, and in the year 1496 of the Haiyuan calendar, Roger will challenge the great voyage...... Although he was not necessarily famous at that time, fame was like the birth of the Five Emperors. Nine points to tout, one point to see strength...... )
Porusalino was thinking about the World Economic News when there was a knock on the door of his office.
"Come in."
Pushing open the door came Polusalino's secretary, Major General Fina, who had become as attractive as a peach in the past two years.
By the way, the reason why Major General Fina has become as attractive as a peach today is entirely because Polusalino has succeeded in stealing peaches from monkeys in the past two years.
"Colonel, you're reading the newspaper again......"
Fina said to Porusalino helplessly, "It's the 15th today, it's the middle of the month, if you don't take us out to catch some pirates, we will be ranked first from the bottom in this headquarters competition......"
"Huh? Is the situation so serious? ”
Polusalino was a little surprised, "Isn't this just the middle of the month?" ”
"You don't know that Colonel Kuzan is a particularly hot-blooded marine, and that he doesn't deal with Rear Admiral Sakasky...... Under the influence of the fierce competition between him and Major General Sakasky, all the current generals in the headquarters are working hard to capture pirates and enforce justice......
(Rest assured, his blood won't last long...... )
"I'm obviously working...... And, Fina, let's not be on par with those roll kings! Just compare yourself to it! ”
"Hehe, do you believe what you say?"
Fina gave Polusalino a blank look, and then her expression was a little puzzled, "But what does 'King of Volumes' mean?" ”
Porusalino was about to use the real situation of the pirate world to show Finakop what a "roll" was, when suddenly, the text transmission phone bug he wore on his right wrist moved.
Fina turned around sensibly - this extremely rare text-transmitting phone bug was a tool used by the Navy's top brass to transmit classified information, and anyone who used it must ensure that only they could see the text displayed on the phone bug.
Although she was Polusalino's secretary, she would definitely know about this secret later, but the rules are the rules, and Fina still knows this very well.
Polusalino watched intently as the eyes of the text transmission phone bug slowly beat one character after another, and when all the characters were displayed, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.
"That's it, Fina."
Major General Fina immediately turned around, "Then let's continue to talk about this month's competition, Colonel." Seriously, you've got to be a little more diligent......"
"There is no need to talk about this problem anymore, because it has already been solved......"
Polusalino smiled and stood up from his office chair, "My silver bullet has good news for me......"
"Huh?"
"There's a situation in the new world...... Or, to be more precise, more than three sea pirates are about to start a melee......"
“!!!”
"Whether they can fight or not, it's always good for us to fan the flames and reap the results...... Tell the boys to get ready! ”
……
After two years of tempering, Frazier "Scimitar" Fraser, who once joined the Flying Pirates as an undercover agent sent by Polusalino, has become a senior cadre of the Golden Lion Fleet. Although there is still a certain gap compared with the "pillars" of only three people, it can be regarded as a real powerful figure in the Golden Lion Fleet.
His rapid rise in status is not only due to his strength, but also because of the proud exploits he has accumulated in that major operation two years ago.
That's right, it was the Golden Lion who had made his men carnival for weeks before it suddenly started a big operation.
- Didn't the Golden Lion secretly reach a certain agreement with several sea pirates? In fact, the content of the agreement is very simple, that is, to maintain a certain degree of peaceful development without aggression against each other in the short term.
As for how short this short term is, these pirates didn't ask for a specific time - for a figure of their level, adding a specific time doesn't actually make sense, but it seems very incommensurate with their image.
After all, as long as there is still fear and deterrence towards each other, this short-term ten years is not too much; And once these things are lost, this short-term may even be the next day or every other meal......
But Big Mom never imagined that the Golden Lion would launch a surprise attack on her territory on the twentieth day after the agreement was reached. And Fraser made a beautiful result in this attack, he cooperated with his captain Bloodaxe Pencrov and successfully killed at least three cadres of the Big Mom Pirates with a bounty of more than 100 million.
- This old lion really thinks that I am a bully? If you really can't do it, you will be shipwrecked!
It took a long time for Big Mom, who was stunned by the sudden attack, to react, and with such an idea, she was ready to take her subordinates to start a fierce duel with the golden lion.
But she never expected that her angry punch seemed to hit the air - the figure of the Golden Lion Fleet disappeared without a trace on the sea, and all the members were transferred to the air by the Golden Lion.
It was only at this time that the rest of the sea pirates understood that the Golden Lion had been uneasy and kind from the beginning. His so-called short-term peace is indeed a short-term peace, just to prepare his fleet to move all its troops into the air, and then use the air mobility advantage to launch a sneak attack.
The more I think about it for a while, the more angry I get, and the more I think about it when I take a step back, the more I lose! Bigmom is not an elegant and easy-going person, she can fly into the sky with great anger, and she hit the Golden Lion Fleet alone.
But the golden lion is a golden lion after all, and the king who dominates the sea from the sky is not an exaggeration for him now - Charlotte Lingling, who rushed up rashly, was directly beaten down by him and almost fell into the sea and drowned......
And the golden lion, who took advantage of a big wave, did not harass Big Mom anymore, or attacked other forces in the New World, and BigMom did not dare to rashly launch an action anymore...... Therefore, this big incident two years ago can be regarded as ending with the complete victory of the Golden Lion side, the defeat of the Big Mom side, and the silence of the rest of the sea pirates.
As for why there was a scuffle of sea pirates in the new world two years later...... The reason is very simple, the golden lion, who has eaten a wave of economy and has been obscene for two years, is very inflated, and he plans to make himself, the pirate admiral, directly become the king of the pirates!
And the big mom who lost to him two years ago, or the one who is the best bully among the sea thieves at present, is the candidate he plans to stand up......
Of course, knowing that he can't win, Big Mom in a sober state will never choose to fight against the Golden Lion alone. After paying a certain price, Kaido's Beast Pirates were pulled into the water by her and became allies with her.
Hitting one is fighting, and hitting two is also fighting - Lao Tzu has developed for so long, are you still afraid that the two of you will not succeed?
What's more, the increase in fame and actual benefits brought by defeating two sea pirates are far more than winning a target......
With this in mind, the Golden Lion summoned the senior cadres of the Grand Fleet last night to talk about it. Fraser waited a long time after the banquet before finally finding an opportunity to relay the news to Polusalino.
In such a big scuffle, there are dangers and opportunities - Porusalino is going to go to the edge and pick up the leaks.
If you can fan the flames and do something, it would be best to reap the benefits of the fisherman...... If you can't, it's not a loss!
