After Zefa came to the ship, Noah knew he couldn't hide. You can hide your swordsmanship level, you can hide your domineering power, but you can't hide your physical fitness. So he greeted Zefa openly.
"Adam, a famous writer? Please wait a moment"
At this time, Noah saw Zefa pull out a small booklet, which contained some classic sentences from his works. Also included was a photo cut out of a newspaper.
Zefa took it out and compared it, and found that the person in front of him was the person in the photo.
"Are you Mr. Adam who wrote "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" and "Water Margin"? Nice to meet you."
Zefa immediately became excited. Noah may not have felt it when he was in the Four Seas, but in the Grand Line, the name Adam was very popular. In the era of great pirates, it can be said that Adam was the pinnacle of the entertainment industry. Countless pirates, navies and people from all walks of life respect Adam's works.
People in the pirate era had a relatively poor spiritual life. In terms of cultural industry, it is somewhat similar to the level of Blue Star in the Middle Ages. Noah's works open the door to a new world. Once "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" was released, people knew that they could talk, do things, and have such mysterious stories. This is countless times better than the little stories spread on the sea.
Zefa himself likes the phrase "The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage, and the greatness of mankind is the greatness of courage."
Not only Zefa likes it, but also Seng Guo and other high-level naval officials like it. It's really touching. Therefore, Noah's first vest, Mr. Adam, has a large number of high-end fans in the sea, and the average strength of his fans is extremely strong.
That photo was the one-year anniversary of the release of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure". World Economic News begged Noah to take a photo, saying it was to give back to the fans. Noah thought that if he wanted to separate the two identities of Noah and Adam, becoming famous would be a good choice.
Anyway, he used waterproof makeup, one of the four magic arts of Blue Star, as long as he didn't get touched by the washing fruit.
Seeing that Zefa was still a fan of his books, Noah reflected a little on whether his plan was too successful.
Afterwards, Zefa invited Noah to sit on the warship. He had some questions about the novel that he wanted to ask the original author. Noah had no choice but to agree happily. He took his sister Haihara Ai and boarded the navy warship.
The first thing to do when boarding the warship is to hold a signing session. These young navy men were so unstable that they happily pulled out Noah's works from their suitcases. Many of them were complete bound volumes. The navy's military pay was indeed good.
He also invited Noah to the restaurant to taste the warship meal. By the way, I visited some of the not-so-secret places on the warship. Go through the visitor process.
Finally, they came to the reception room on the ship. Noah and Robin sat on the sofa, holding hot tea and eating a piece of fruit. They were very comfortable. Robin had never thought before that he would board a warship as a guest and receive such a warm welcome.
"I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. The conditions on the ship are hard and there aren't any good things. Next time you come to Ma Linfan, I will definitely entertain you well."
Noah thought to himself, I don’t dare to go to Ma Linfan Duo now. The golden lion has been arrested even if he went there. If I go now, I will deliver the goods to my door. Hurry up and say something else to deal with it, but you can't let Zefa continue to display the spirit of hospitality.
"Mr. Zefa said that he has some questions about the content of the novel that he would like to discuss. What are the questions?"
It turns out that Zefa is a loyal fan of both "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" and "Water Margin". "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" belongs to the fictional adventure genre. Although it has some supernatural powers, it is not very novel on the sea. The point is that the stories and spirit inside inspire everyone.
But "Water Margin" has a bigger problem. "Water Margin" is an adaptation of fictional historical novels. Even though some parts have been modified, a lot of content related to the economy, people's livelihood and public security are also included in the overall framework. During the Demonic Reform, some place names in the Northern Song Dynasty, as well as some political system and official titles were changed, but many things did not change.
Zefa has accumulated a lot of problems in this regard. In Zefa's view, the era of great pirates has never been eradicated. However, through Mr. Adam's novels, we can see some roads that we have never seen before. It is worth discussing with Mr. Adam. Fan.
The economic development during the Northern Song Dynasty was very good. It mentioned many things that are taken for granted in novels, which are an inspiration to people in this world.
When it comes to economics and people's livelihood, no one in the Pirate World combined can beat Noah. It's a good time to take this opportunity to spread the fire to Zefa. Leave a little revolutionary seed in Zefa's heart.
Noah starts with the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty. Urban industry and commerce flourished, commodity-currency relations flourished, and the role of commerce in the entire national economy continued to increase. This impacted the original closed economic structure to a considerable extent and changed the government. The material basis of rule forced the country's commercial policies to make corresponding adjustments.
I kept talking until it got dark before I could finish. This made Zefa sigh repeatedly, he is indeed a great writer. It turns out that there are so many settings in the novel, and this comprehensive framework makes it seem like there really is such a country in the world.
A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Zefa recorded all of Noah's words in his notebook. In fact, Zefa didn't understand much of what he heard, but he wrote it down so that he could ask the headquarter's staff officer, Lieutenant General He. Ah He's wisdom will definitely enable him to understand this knowledge.
Originally, I had many questions to ask, but it’s already very late today, so I’ll ask them another day. Mr. Adam is going to Cigu Island. I will just drop him off on the warship.
After sending Noah back to the guest room, Zefa continued to study the notes alone. The more he read, the more immersed he became, and he didn't sleep all night. From Mr. Adam's words, we can see a lot of truths about the national economy and people's livelihood. I didn't expect that a young man could study the world so thoroughly. It was amazing.
After that, every day on the warship, Zefa would take time to ask Noah for advice, and he would gain something different every time. Zefa admired Noah's knowledge reserve. He was truly a wise scholar.
As they approached Drum Island, Zefa and Noah discussed several very sensitive issues. One is for recruitment, and the other is for birthdays.
The recruitment is due to an internal issue within the World Government recently. The Shichibukai Project.
Recruit seven big pirates to form the Shichibukai Plan, use pirates to contain pirates, and also allow legal plunder. This is something that Zefa's justice cannot accept.
"For example, I mean for example, if the world government lets pirates suppress pirates, do you think it's feasible?"
"To allow pirates to suppress pirates, we must give up the interests and the official name. The interests will probably also come from civilians. I am not optimistic about this plan. The nature of pirates is not that easy to control. The more The bigger the pirate, the greater his ambition. Will he finally achieve a world where only civilians are injured? That’s ridiculous.”
Zefa was convinced. Unexpectedly, after just a brief talk, the plan was analyzed. Zefa wanted to pull Noah's vest into the navy. It was not an exaggeration to give him the rank of staff officer.
The topic of birth dates is even more sensitive.
The birth chart is very similar to the Celestial Gold of the Celestial Dragons. They all collect money from the people, plunder a large amount of wealth and give it to a few people. Many countries that have joined the World Government have had rebellions while collecting heavenly gold, and the methods used by the government to force people to rebel are basically the same. After the rebellion, a large number of pirates went to sea, and many of them were forced out. Zefa had caught many such pirates, which made him very sad. So I wanted to ask Mr. Adam if there is anything he can do.
"Essentially speaking, the current world government cannot solve this problem. Even if the heavenly gold is not handed over, the country that should rebel will still rebel. When those in power are searching for the heavenly gold, don't they themselves gain benefits? It is impossible Yes. Just another way, not so intense, so that the civilians who can’t survive in the end will die a little later.”
"Or you can reject the heavenly gold. If all the countries in the world unite, there will be no heavenly gold. Another possibility is to unite all the people of the world."
Zefa was silent when he heard the reason. Noah was right. Both those in power and the Celestial Dragons benefited from the heavenly gold. Who cares about the lives and deaths of ordinary civilians? The only one left is to uphold justice.
Zefa's hair stood up when he heard Noah's last words. Suddenly he stood up. Just imagining Noah's last words made him feel a twinge of fear. When that time comes, every corner of the sea will be shrouded in flames of war.
"Don't be nervous, just talk casually."
"That's right, just saying casually."
The two of them tacitly avoided this topic, and Zefa no longer wanted to pull Adam into the navy. He always cared about that sentence.
