"President, our newspaper sales have skyrocketed lately!"
"Um?"
Morgans, who was reading a document, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, then put down the document and said, "Let me see it."
Upon hearing this, the subordinate immediately brought over the latest data report and respectfully handed it to Morgans.
Morgans took it, looked at it for a while, then slammed his hand on the table and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, it's actually tripled?!"
"This is so exciting!"
At that moment, Morgans felt as if countless coins were beckoning to him.
money!
It's all money!!
"President, are we still printing this issue of the newspaper?"
Morgans did not answer immediately upon hearing this, but thought about it carefully for a moment.
He then looked at the man beside him and said, "Any good intelligence lately?"
The man thought for a moment, then said, "Yes."
"explain!"
"Gecko Moria was recently surrounded and attacked by the Navy, and his whereabouts have been unknown since," the man said. "Some speculate that he has been killed, while others speculate that he successfully escaped the Navy's pursuit."
"Former Shichibukai 1:: "
Morgans stroked his chin for a moment, then nodded and said, "Hmm, that's a good piece of news."
"Anything else?"
"The situation in the New World has changed dramatically," the man said. "Because of Whitebeard's passing, the Whitebeard Pirates' base has been invaded by many pirate crews, including the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates."
"After several major battles, the Whitebeard Pirates have lost a considerable amount of territory."
Morgans paused for a moment after hearing this, then said with some emotion, "It seems that without Whitebeard's intimidation, anyone would dare to take a bite."
That makes sense, after all, without Whitebeard... the Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't be considered a Yonko crew anymore.
In this way, one of the Four Emperors' positions will be vacant!
This is a deadly temptation for those ambitious people.
Thinking of this, Morgans' eyes began to gleam.
He then continued, "Any other news?"
"Have the black-bearded guy and Crocodile made any moves?"
Especially the black-bearded guy who killed the white-bearded one, that guy is more likely to cause trouble!
"The Blackbeard Pirates disappeared temporarily after the turn of the century," the man said. "So there's no news about them yet."
"No?"
A question mark appeared above Morgans's head; he clearly hadn't expected the Blackbeard Pirates to do nothing.
"This guy killed Whitebeard himself... why is he still hiding?" Morgans muttered to himself.
This doesn't make sense.
Could it be that guy is planning something big?
Thinking of this, Morgans' eyes lit up.
"That would be best, so I'll have better news to report, hahahaha!" Morgans thought to himself, laughing out loud.
Although I don't know what that guy will do, it's definitely big news!
Hahaha!
Then Morgans asked, "What about Crocodile?"
"Someone saw him in the New World, but he didn't do anything noteworthy," the man said. "Perhaps he's planning to keep a low profile for a while."
"Keep a low profile?"
Morgans chuckled and said, "Do you think someone who dared to attack Whitebeard during the Marineford War would keep a low profile?"
Stop joking, okay?!
This guy is definitely brewing some big move, just like Blackbeard!
"He certainly doesn't seem like the kind of man who would settle for the status quo," the man nodded.
Maybe that guy is preparing something too.
"Hmph, once Whitebeard uttered those words, these ambitious men will never be content with the status quo," Morgans said.
"Indeed."
The man nodded, then said, "So...Mr. President, should we still print this issue of the newspaper?"
"Hmm... let's print another batch," Morgans said after a moment's thought. "But we'll need to add some things."
"What should I add?"
"Just write down what happened with Gecko Moria and the Whitebeard Pirates," Morgans said. "Remember to polish it up a bit."
"Yes, President!" the man said.
After saying that, the man turned and left, clearly intending to go to work.
After watching the other party leave, Morgans muttered, "With this new content, sales should continue to rise."
Just then, the Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) rang from the drawer.
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"A Den Den Mushi?"
After skillfully taking out the Den Den Mushi and the white Den Den Mushi from the drawer, Morgans said, "Anyone who can contact me directly... must be someone important."
As he spoke, Morgans connected to the Den Den Mushi.
"Kaka~"
"Hello, I'm Morgans, and who are you?"
"My name is west Yan," west Yan said with a faint smile. "Of course, you can also call me the Blood-Eyed Ninja."
Morgans: !!!
Upon hearing that it was Xiyan speaking, Morgans' pupils immediately shrank to the extreme.
Then, he excitedly said, "Hahaha, I never expected the famous Blood-Eyed Ninja to contact me."
"I wonder what brings you here?"
"Of course, I have a business deal to discuss with you."
Hearing west Yan's words, Morgans' eyes showed a hint of interest, and he said, "Tell me first."
Whether or not to proceed depends on the specific business they are discussing with him.
"Your Mightiness..
.
"Just call me Morgans," Morgans said with a smile.
Morgans was willing to have a proper conversation with the man who had provided him with a lot of news material.
"Okay, Mr. Morgans." Xi Yan nodded and said, "You should have some white Den Den Mushi there, right?"
"Of course," Morgans nodded.
People of their status would be dead without white Den Den Mushi!
"That's good."
"Just tell me what you want to do," Morgans said.
If he is interested in the other party's proposal, he wouldn't mind collaborating with this news figure.
"I plan to wreak havoc on Mary Geoise and take down a few Celestial Dragons along the way," west Yan said. "Do you dare report this news?"
"Boom!"
west Yan's words struck Morgans like a thunderbolt, leaving him stunned and frozen in place.
"Making a scene in Mary Geoise?"
"Kill a few Celestial Dragons?"
This kid... how could he be so bold?
This isn't just being audacious; this is trying to tear the sky apart!
But... why is he so excited?
As if recalling a certain scene, Morgans' eyes sparkled with excitement.
However, he didn't answer west Yan's question immediately, but instead asked, "You're just telling me this news like that?"
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell the World Government about this?"
After saying that, Morgan paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and said, "You should know that the World Government is willing to spend 500 million Berries to buy your information."
"I still have great faith in Mr. Morgans' professionalism," west Yan said. "Besides... would you be so short-sighted?"
Shaki had already given Morgans a rough idea of how much profit a big news story could bring.
Therefore, west Yan doesn't think he would do that!
Of course, if Morgans is really that short-sighted, west Yan wouldn't mind going to the New World to have a good chat with him!
Morgans felt a slight ripple in his heart after hearing west Yan's words.
Trust my professional ethics...
How long has it been since he heard something like that?
That's truly... a compliment that gets the blood pumping!
Hahaha!
After laughing, Morgans said, "You're right, 500 million berries is nothing to me, so I don't need to offend you for that amount of money."
"However... Mr. Xiyan is really brave."
At the end, a look of emotion appeared on Morgans' face.
He could tell that this man was genuinely unafraid of him leaking the other party's information.
"If I want to cooperate with you, I will naturally show my sincerity." west Yan said calmly, "Besides, I'm not afraid that you will tell the World Government, because they can't stop me at all."
Using hypnosis and transformation techniques, west Yan can easily infiltrate Mary Geoise, so he is not worried about the information being leaked.
The only thing to worry about is whether Morgans will publish the newspaper on time.
"From his words, I can tell this guy is willing to cooperate," west Yan thought to himself.
This way, I don't have to make an extra trip to the new world, which saves me trouble.
Morgans paused for a moment upon hearing this, then muttered to himself, "What a confident fellow."
It seems the opponent has even more powerful trump cards up their sleeve.
Thinking this through, Morgans nodded and said, "I see your sincerity, so I won't do anything unnecessary."
This matter is very beneficial to him, so he won't make things difficult for himself.
"So... you've agreed to cooperate?" west Yan raised an eyebrow.
"Why not agree?" Morgans grinned. "This wouldn't do me any harm at all."
Such sensational news would make his newspaper sell like hotcakes, which means a lot of money!
Who would turn down money?
"I thought you'd be afraid of the World Government and wouldn't dare publish a newspaper," west Yan joked.
Upon hearing this, Morgans immediately flew into a rage—a real rage!
His hair stood on end, and a rare look of anger appeared on his face.
"What a joke!" Morgans roared. "How could I possibly fear the World Government?"
"You publish newspapers without being controlled by the World Government?" west Yan probed.
"Hmph, they do sometimes restrict me, but I don't necessarily have to listen to them," Morgans said.
"Aren't you afraid they'll cause you trouble?"
"What kind of journalist are you if you're afraid of this and that?!" Morgans snorted.
What is the most important thing for a journalist?
It is about revealing the truth to the public!
If he can't do that, what's the point of him being the head of the press?
Thinking this, Morgans continued, "Even the World Government can't shut me up!!"
If he, as one of the kings of the underworld, were afraid of the World Government, he wouldn't be able to survive.
Upon hearing this, west Yan glanced at Xia Qi, who was smiling, and then said with a smile, "It seems that Mr. Morgans is still an upright person."
"upright?"
Morgans paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I don't deserve those two words."
"I do have my principles, but that doesn't mean I'll be a good person."
How could he, one of the kings of the underworld, be a good person?
If necessary, he would also deliberately exaggerate some news content to attract attention.
So... he's not a good person at all.
After hearing Morgans' words, Xi Yan smiled and then said, "Anyway, being a qualified partner is enough."
"Of course," Morgans nodded. "As the president of the World Economic News Agency, I also have a sense of ethics!"
"Since I agreed to cooperate with you, I will definitely distribute the newspaper!!"
This is also his principle, and the promise he made to Xiyan.
"Then it's settled," west Yan said.
"it is good."
Morgans nodded, then asked, "What kind of content do you want me to post?"
"Just some photos," west Yan said. "As for the content, you can decide for yourselves."
His main purpose in contacting this guy was to pass on those numbers; everything else was secondary.
"Photos...."
3
Morgans thought for a moment, then said, "Then send me the photos via fax Den Den Mushi."
"You know how to use a fax machine, right?"
Upon hearing this, west Yan glanced at Xia Qi, who was leisurely smoking there, and only after seeing her nod at him did he say, "No problem."
"That's good."
Morgans said, "If you know how to use a fax machine, it will be easy."
In this way, he can get the latest news about what's happening in Mary Geoise as soon as possible, and publish the information immediately!
Morgans then gave Xi Yan his fax number, instructing him to make sure he entered the correct number, otherwise the photos would be lost.
"Don't worry, I know that." west Yan nodded.
"Okay." Morgans nodded, then said, "I will give you some reward after you succeed."
"remuneration?"
A strange look appeared in west Yan's eyes. Why was the other party still willing to pay under these circumstances?
"You give me information, I pay you—that's perfectly normal," Morgans said earnestly. "It's also my principle; otherwise, who would be willing to provide me with materials?"
Intelligence is money!
Therefore, he was willing to pay that portion of the compensation.
Besides... befriending someone like the Blood-Eyed Ninja wouldn't do him any harm, would it?
As for whether the other party will die in Mary Geoise?
This wasn't something he needed to worry about; he just needed to wait for the other party to provide the materials and pay him.
If the other party dies, the money will be given to the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates; he won't renege on his debt anyway.
west Yan paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "Mr. Morgans is indeed a man of principle."
"Of course!" Morgans said proudly. In their line of work, principles are extremely important!
"So...it's a pleasure working with you?"
"Hahaha, it's a pleasure doing business with you!" Morgans laughed heartily. "I've been waiting for your good news!"
"good!"
"Kaka~"
Looking at the Den Den Mushi that had been disconnected, Morgans' smile gradually faded, and he said, "To actually dare to cause such a ruckus in Mary Geoise... what a madman."
However... he actually quite likes these crazy people, after all, they provide him with plenty of news material, don't they!
Morgans then turned his attention to the A4 paper on the table, pondered for a moment, and then picked up a pen to start writing.
"Let's get a few newspaper pages done first," Morgans muttered. "We'll try to get the finished product out as soon as the photos arrive!"
In that case, the world government wouldn't have time to stop him from publishing the newspaper.
Thinking of this, Morgans's smile returned.
"Hahahaha!"
"This kind of big news will definitely make my sales skyrocket!"
"Hahahaha!!"
