Chapter 221: Worshippers? Bartolomeo!
I have to say that the story of "The Biography of Thunder Sword Hero" is indeed quite fascinating.
The short text description, accompanied by photographs to illustrate the scene, is an incomparably novel mode that not only attracts readers, but also comes to an abrupt end at a critical moment, completely arousing the reader's appetite in the form of serialization, and beginning to look forward to the publication of the next issue of the magazine.
However, to Vivian's dissatisfaction, the story depicted in this issue of People Magazine accounts for one-third of the "love story" between him and Garrett, from how they met to how they got engaged.
Of course, only half of the content is relatively real in Vivian's opinion, and the remaining half is almost all made up.
For example, the article says that Garrett is a slut who is extremely fond of men, and after seeing Vivian for the first time, she began to covet Vivian's appearance, and tried to make Vivian succumb to it again and again, but Vivian was very clever in resolving it, so she kept her innocence and so on.
I have to say that Gordon still has a hand in making up stories, otherwise, it would be really difficult for Vivian to explain in front of the two girls now.
Back to the magazines.
On the last page, the photo freezes on Vivian, who defeats Blackbeard after his identity is revealed, and draws his knife and sprints to BIG· MOM of the moment.
Looking at the "to.d" in the lower right corner, and the preview on the title page: "Next issue: "The Legend of the Thunder Sword Heroes II. - The Four Emperors of the Bloody War", Vivian couldn't help but touch his chin, and there was a little emotion in his heart.
This guy.. It's really a talent that he values, and even he is a little curious about the content of the next issue of the magazine, so the rest of the readers who bought this magazine must not go crazy?
And indeed it is.
Not only in towns outside the G1 headquarters, but all over the world at the same time, everyone felt the following two kinds after reading the magazine: excitement and discomfort.
The excitement is that they are thrilled by the plot of Vivian going undercover in the story to enter the Four Emperor Pirates to crusade against Blackbeard.
And the uncomfortable thing is that the story ends with Vivian officially reporting to BIG· When MOM launched an attack, it was over, just like halfway through and suddenly becoming constipated, and the remaining half was stuck in the stomach, telling you to keep it for next time, so can the reader not feel uncomfortable?
New World, on an island, in a very ordinary small town bookstore.
"Hey, boss, when will the next issue of this magazine come out?"
A young man with green hair and a nose ring hurried to the counter and asked the bookstore owner.
"What magazine? Ah, you said "The Legend of the Thunder Sword Hero"? The second part will probably be out next week, and the newspaper that sold it told us that they would update it weekly, and that the printed magazine would be delivered to the bookstores in the evening of the eighth day."
"Eight days later?"
The green-haired young man pursed his mouth in frustration when he heard this.
It's going to take so long, but now he's so curious about the follow-up that his heart is about to explode.
"Captain Bartow, supplies have been procured, shall we continue on our way? Or do you want to spend the night in town and then leave? ”
At the same time, a pirate with a full head of white hair ran in from outside the door, carrying a large bag of things and said to the green-haired youth.
Yes, that's right, these two are Bartolomeo and Gambia, who had a relationship with Vivian in Rogue more than two years ago.
Here is another person to ask, more than two years ago, that is, the Gambia that appeared in the first chapter, isn't he a bald head and a big waist and a round image, why has the whole person changed so much after more than two years?
In fact, the reason is very simple, after being exposed to the variety of the great route, Gambia decided to start losing weight, and through day and night exercise, he transformed his physique into the lean type he is now.
In addition, he also has long hair, and when he got a haircut in the town some time ago, he had the barber dye it gray and white, and he can barely be regarded as a trendy person.
It's Bartolomeo..
This character, who originally won many scenes in the original book as the image of "Luffy's brainless fan", has now lost the opportunity to perform well in front of his idol because of Vivian's repeated interventions.
As a result, Bartolomeo, who had just entered the New World and passed through the Kingdom of Dressrosa, had not encountered any difficulties and obstacles along the way, and seemed a little lost at the moment.
Hit the road?
Where should they go now?
I think the reason why he went to sea in the first place was precisely because he witnessed Luffy's smile that was not afraid of life and death under the execution table, so he was infected, which strengthened the idea of wanting to be a pirate as well.
But now...
His idol is not just Luffy.
Vivian, who is also not afraid of life and death, and brazenly goes to death on the top battlefield, has also become another object of his worship.
Especially after learning that this Vivian was the navy in Rogue Town, he even developed a lot of intimacy.
"You say. . . What if we went to the World Draft? ”
Holding the "Legend of the Thunder Sword Hero" in his hand, Bartolomeo suddenly said such a sentence, and immediately shocked the jaws of the crew members who followed him.
"Captain Bartow, you're not kidding, are you?"
"Participation in the World Conscription .. Once passed, don't you have to join the Navy? But we're all pirates, and besides, you still have a bounty order, so if someone finds out, won't it be a self-defeating trap? ”
"That's right."
Bartolomeo came to his senses when he heard this.
I've been a pirate for almost two years, and now it's too late to regret going back and become a navy.
"In that case, let's continue on our way and go to Cake Island."
"To Cake Island?"
Hearing the Four Emperors BIG· The name of MOM's base camp, everyone was suddenly taken aback again.
"That's right." However, Bartolomeo nodded, and said with a smile on his face, "Both of my idols have appeared on this island before. It's been a few days, but now that it's passed, maybe I'll be able to find out where Luffy's predecessor is going. And.."
"And what?" Gambia asked.
"Moreover, the Thunder Sword Hao Vivian, maybe it doesn't matter if he still stays on that island?"
Pulling out a handsome photo of Vivien drawing his sword and slashing at the enemy, Bartolomeo muttered to himself, "That way, I'll be able to ask him for an autograph then." ”
