"Are you interested in becoming a reporter?"
These were the first words Arne heard after opening his eyes in the white ward.
reporter...
This profession sounds a bit different from being a pirate.
Arne can't think of any advantages he has as a journalist.
At most, I studied with an old adventurer for a few years in my hometown, a small island in the South China Sea, and could read some words and understand navigation charts.
However, among the group of pirates, they are already considered to be highly intellectual.
But it’s nothing like the journalist industry.
Arne's eyes were full of doubts.
"I...am not a navigator?"
"Candidate!" Bucky emphasized, "Well, you'd better be interested. After all, I bought you here, so whether you are willing or not, you have to become this reporter."
Bucky felt that he still respected the other party very much.
At least he asked.
"As for whether it's suitable or not, you don't need to think about that."
Bucky lay back on the hospital bed minding his own business, but Arne, the patient, stood up blankly.
"After all...we don't need to chase the news."
"We make news."
All right.
Former navigator candidate and former pirate Arne got a new career plan after leaving the iron cage.
The first step in this career plan is to become a reporter.
How do you count as a reporter?
You have to at least apply for a job at a newspaper, right?
Arne followed the advice given by Sergeant Jacques. He was familiar with the situation in the Chambord Islands and came to the area of Hotel Street No. 35.
This was where the sailors who were awaiting permission to pass Mariejoy stopped temporarily.
Applying for permission from the World Government and then using a specially designed bubble elevator to cross the Red Continent is the safest way to travel between the first half and the second half of the Grand Line.
Another way is to go to the Fish-Man Island in the 10,000-meter-deep sea.
It was a hollow in the deep sea of the Red Earth Continent, and it still held the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates.
For the newspaper, the benefits of choosing to be stationed on Hotel Street are also obvious.
The crew members traveling between the New World and the Paradise section were talking and spreading the news about what happened somewhere.
Al felt a little uneasy in his heart.
I wonder if newspapers discriminate against people who have been involved in the pirate industry?
As for why you want to be a reporter...
Arne was too lazy to think about it that much.
The experience on the warship told him that just follow Bucky's instructions. The more you think about it, the faster you will die.
He looked at the round, multi-story building in front of him. There was a simple wooden sign on it that read: World Economic News Agency's Shampoo Islands Branch.
My heart skipped a beat and I walked straight in.
———————
In a nursing home at the naval base.
Bucky now faced a rather difficult problem.
A question that many people will encounter is about titles.
What should I call myself, the father of Major Yarrow?
Lao Deng?
Or tell him...
I'm so sorry. I threw your son into the sea of fire. What you hear now is the voice of Li Gui who replaced your son.
"Have the people from District 1 come to see you?"
When Bucky was hesitating, the anthropomorphic phone bug in front of him had already started asking questions with a straight face.
There are clear notes on the volute.
His Excellency Baron Fyodor Lux.
As for District 1…
Bucky naturally thought of the human auction venue located in Area 1 of the Shampoo Islands.
Strictly speaking, they are peers.
And as we all know, colleagues are all enemies.
Unpopular exclusives are the secret to stealing points!
"They... are quite interesting." Bucky thought for a while and said truthfully.
"interesting?"
"Don't underestimate it, and don't believe the rhetoric of this group of people! Behind the auction venue in District 1 is the Don Quixote family that ranks among the Shichibukai!"
"What does that have to do with me... us?"
Bucky is now thinking about how his rebellious self faced his alcoholic and domestically violent father.
"Of course it matters!"
The phone bug's tone suddenly rose.
"That bastard Doflamingo wants to buy my auction house for a mere 300 million beli. How is this possible!"
The roaring voice of Baron Lux was like that of a hoarse insect, and his expression was ferocious.
"The pirate auction house in Area 4 is an important source of income for our family! It is a valuable property inherited from my father, your grandfather's generation!"
When the word inheritance was mentioned, His Excellency the Baron couldn't help but pause.
"Xiao Yaluo, although you can't inherit the family property, you are still part of the family."
Oh haha.
It seems that the identity of the guy who was thrown into the fire by him is a bit "special".
No wonder there is little mention of family matters in the diary.
With such a relationship, no wonder the major captain would take the initiative to contact me, and the Sicilian major general behind him...
Bucky rubbed his chin, thoughtfully.
"So be it."
During his silence, His Excellency the Baron took the lead in making a decision for him.
"Don't come into contact with the people at Auction No. 1 for now. After a while, I will find a way to transfer you from the judicial detention center to the Chambord Islands."
The Judicial Detention House, the place mentioned in Yarrow's diary, was a prison built on a small island not far from Judicial Island.
When arrested criminals are awaiting the dispensable trial process on the Justice Island, they will be temporarily held in a detention center.
After a period of time, they will be uniformly transported to the underwater prison.
Yaro's original duty was to be responsible for escorting people between the detention center and the underwater prison.
This also leaves a lot of room for maneuver.
For example, one or more pirate prisoners may have died in the detention center due to a serious illness that was difficult to treat, or they may have suddenly lost their mind and jumped into the sea while being escorted.
These are acceptable.
The pirates don't have any human rights organizations to advocate for them.
Another reason is that almost all pirates' sentences are permanent.
This was also the greatest role Yaro played for His Excellency the Baron previously.
Of course, it was this Baron who single-handedly supported Yaro's promotion from joining the navy.
But what surprised Bucky even more was the Baron's influence in the navy.
The Baron seemed certain that Bucky would agree, and said to himself, "With you at the base in Area 66, our family's property will be more secure..."
"Of course, of course."
His Excellency the Baron heard the answer he wanted.
The only thing that's a little strange is that his good son's tone today seems a little strange.
It seems to be in a weird mood.
It shouldn’t be…
Baron Lukes could only attribute the reason to the fact that he was frightened by the explosion of the escort warship that occurred some time ago.
A fugitive actually caused such a terrible thing.
That pirate clown is really scary!
