Chapter 272 Are you buying or selling headlines?

Abusalom actually has some talent as a journalist.

In the original timeline, he used the pseudonym Absa and submitted many articles to the World Economic News Agency in exchange for royalties to take care of the decadent Moria.

With the ability of the transparent fruit, he can sneak into many places that ordinary people can't reach, so he has a lot of first-hand information.

Although he is not doing this job now, he has some potential in this area.

Absalom doesn't know if there are other reporters on the island, anyway, when Leliana and Whitebeard were fighting, he took a lot of photos secretly.

There is nothing wrong with authenticity, timeliness and accuracy as the three elements of news, but these three elements are sometimes not enough to attract people's attention.

Quoting out of context, making something out of nothing, exaggerating, and stealing concepts are good ways to attract attention.

With these photos in hand, there is a lot of public opinion space for what happened on Portozibalalta Island.

Whether it is the cultural propaganda on the Brook Island Whale Tour or the Power Gear's cruise work in the surrounding area, they are all fighting a public opinion war.

The benefits are not real land and money. Some things that seem to have no actual benefits are the things that can continue to generate income in the future.

A seemingly losing business can also make a small profit. The reputation gained by spending money in the early stage can naturally bring enough benefits when needed.

Absalom has always been with Orlan, so he naturally knows how to do this. Only by making good use of these photos can the value of this one be further increased.

"I didn't notice it before, Abu, you are a good photographer."

Taking the camera from Absalom, Leliana was very satisfied with the photos in it. Absalom found a good angle and grasped the proportion of people and scenery just right.

He didn't turn people into stick figures, nor did he take any abstract pictures. With this skill, he can take a position in the navy's intelligence agency.

"It's just a little hobby, it's nothing, what do you think, Princess?"

"Give me the photo, I'll go talk to Morgans later."

"Aren't you going back? Your injury"

"It's a minor injury, the old man is too worried, the fight didn't last long, this injury is nothing. But if we continue to fight, he won't be able to take advantage."

The animal system is the most direct way to strengthen the body. Although the destructive power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is strong, the advantages of the animal system will only be reflected after a protracted war.

Whether it is the enhancement of physical fitness or the enhancement of recovery ability, the animal system is top-notch, not to mention the most peculiar fantasy beast species.

"I understand why Dad doesn't like fighting on the mainland. If a fight really breaks out on Firefly Island, I won't be able to let go. By the way, who are you trading with this time?"

"It's the Revolutionary Army, but it looks like they can't come over. Don't worry about it. I can handle it."

When selling gas tanks before, Xiong and Ginny mentioned to Ivankov that they should go through the underground channels themselves. The trading channels here are too chaotic. Although the source of this batch of weapons is Orlan, no one can tell how many hands they have passed through.

There is no other impact if you sell it through normal channels. At this time, watching Whitebeard leave, the people of the Oliver family came up again.

"Please wait a moment."

"What? It's good that I don't bother you. What else do you want to say?"

"No, that's not what we mean. We want to say. Do you need a place to stay in the New World? Portozibalalta Island has convenient transportation and is a good place."

Half of the island was destroyed. Even if there are excellent ports around Portozibalalta Island, the loss is huge.

But they didn't come here to pursue responsibility, but to curry favor with someone.

In Whitebeard's mind, he chose to retreat because he was worried about other members. After all, being surrounded in this situation was not a good thing.

Even if he could easily destroy the fleet that surrounded here with the tsunami caused by the earthquake, the high-end combat power would cause irreversible consequences for the Whitebeard Pirates.

There was no reason to fight to the death, so retreating was understandable.

But it was another matter in the eyes of the Oliver family. In their eyes, it was Leliana who defeated the Whitebeard Pirates alone.

The collapse of the island was already a heavy loss. If Whitebeard came here to retaliate afterwards, they would really be finished.

Originally, they wanted to hug Whitebeard's thighs, and because of Whitebeard's power, they made an unfair decision. Now that they saw a person whose military power was not inferior to Whitebeard and who had more power to trade with them, they naturally had to take the initiative to come up.

As long as there is the protection of the strong, these things that were lost can still be recovered.

"I destroyed half of your island."

"That's nothing. The port just happened to be not wide enough. After this attack, the port area became larger. We have to thank you for helping to expand the port. Please accept this labor fee."

The current situation in the New World, if you don't have enough ability and have a lot of wealth, you have to find a backer. Even if you are slapped in the face, you have to take the initiative to ask others to fight back.

"Abu, what do you think?"

Leliana didn't know the situation in the New World. Apart from Orlan himself, Absalom knew the situation here best.

"Princess, we do lack an outpost in the New World, and the location here is not bad. But we are not pirates, and we don't collect protection fees to protect islands.

If we can take a share of the business here, it will be almost the same."

"No problem! We can talk about this slowly, everything is negotiable."

The request for a shareholding is much more excessive than simply collecting protection fees, but for the Oliver family, this is much better than the other party being uninterested in them or wanting to destroy them directly.

Only by relying on such wings can there be a chance of survival.

"Sure enough, this sea still has to use fists to talk about physics. Abu, you handle things here, I'm leaving first."

Before Leliana and Whitebeard fought, the Oliver family did not have this attitude.

Leaving this trivial matter to Absalom, Leliana flew back to the sky and contacted others halfway.

"Sister Stussy, this is Leliana, do you have any news about Morgans? I want to talk to him."

Morgans' location is still quite changeable. Not only does it have multiple branches and backup headquarters around the world, but the headquarters it is currently using is also a special house that can be flown and transferred at any time.

After all, his job is actually quite dangerous. Sometimes after reporting the news, there are always people who want him to disappear from the world, so Morgans has developed such a running skill.

But he is also from the underground world. Although he cannot be located at any time, it is still possible to find a temporary place to stay.

Otherwise, the people sent by the World Government would not have reached Morgans smoothly. It can only be said that Morgans has a good grasp of the red line, and has always been in a state where the World Government hates him but does not want to kill him completely.

In addition, Morgans occasionally cooperates with the actions of the World Government, so he finally persisted.

As the queen of Happy Street today, the World Government has driven a nail into the underground world, and there are more or less some intelligence.

"Morgans? Wait a minute, if he has not moved, he should be near Broccoli Island now."

Stussy, who was studying a beauty magazine, recalled and then gave Leliana an address. Before she could continue, the phone was hung up.

"Broccoli Island? It's not far away. Thank you. I'll hang up first."

Morgans' intelligence network is a bit exaggerated. To be precise, everyone on the sea knows that Morgans will pay a lot of money to buy photos of big news.

Even if there is no solid evidence, it's okay if it's just a figment of the imagination.

As for contacting Morgans by phone.

It can be done, but it is not very meaningful. Morgans' personality is sometimes like schizophrenia. He can report false news for the sake of attracting attention, and he can also ignore the requirements of the World Government to report real news. He can even release Nika's photo.

Or his purpose has always been simple. From beginning to end, he just wants to report big news. To communicate with this guy, you have to use some special methods, and face-to-face interviews are the best.

When Leliana planned to find Morgans's trace, the navy of the G1 branch also completed the assembly.

Because of the existence of the Red Earth Continent, the navy will not go to great lengths to find a way to lift the huge warship over the Red Earth Continent.

Marinford and G1 Branch are the two gateways to guard Marijoa, located in Paradise and the New World respectively. When it is necessary to act in the New World, the navy only needs to send the appropriate generals there, and they can directly change ships and set off.

Anyway, they are all standard warships, and the difference is not very big.

"Garp, don't go, the mission is cancelled."

Garp, who had just crossed the Red Earth Continent and arrived at the warship, turned around and received a new order from Sengoku.

"What do you mean? It was you who asked me to come here. Now that I have just boarded the ship, the mission has been cancelled? Sengoku, are you saying..."

"I can't do anything about it. This is not something I can control. New information has come from Portozibalalta Island. Whitebeard has..."

"Are you trying to get me out of here and eat rice crackers alone?!"

Crack!

A busy tone came from the microphone in Garp's hand. Sengoku had just accidentally crushed the microphone in his hand. Then Sengoku skillfully took out new parts from the drawer of the table and installed them on the Den Den Mushi, and then reconnected the call.

Judging from his speed and proficiency in replacing parts, this is not the first time.

"Sengoku, what did you say about Whitebeard just now?"

Sengoku was about to scold Garp, but Garp's tone suddenly became serious again.

"Whitebeard seems to have been repelled. The specific information is not clear. Anyway, you don't need to go there. You just..."

Beep——

The busy tone of the Den Den Mushi indicated that Garp hung up the Den Den Mushi again. With a crisp sound, there were more fragments of parts on the table.

"Kuzan, it's me. Are you in Piltover? Ask Dr. Sidilier for me about the progress of the Pacifist."

This time, Sengoku did not contact Garp again. As long as he was sure that there was no major event, Garp would dare to refuse directly.

Rather than continue to sulk, it is better to see if there is any news that makes him happy.

During this period, there are also many finished products on parts. Maybe some model machines can be assembled. Even if they cannot be put into actual combat, they can be pulled over for use first.

When the events on Portozibalalta Island began to ferment gradually, Leliana came to the vicinity of the Broccoli Island. The permanent pointer here was borrowed from the Navy G12 Branch.

The vice admiral of the branch here happened to be Bruglas. The vice admiral who was originally in charge of the affairs of the G6 branch had been transferred to the New World at this time. She and Leliana were also familiar with each other, and borrowing the pointer was just a matter of words.

And near this island, Leliana also saw many news birds.

Based on this, there are so many news birds gathered here, which is enough to show that there is no problem with Stussy's intelligence. Following the traces of those news birds, Leliana quickly found the headquarters of the World Economic News Agency .

"It's so annoying. It's another day without big news. Hey, isn't there any new news? How can this kind of news attract people's attention! Who did this layout? A mere pirate worth tens of millions can be caught alone. Exclusive edition?

And this, a new song by a well-known singer as the headline? You might as well report that the King of Soul slipped on a 45 degree tilt! "

Morgans was criticizing his reporters, but at this moment, there was a knocking sound outside the window.

"President, I think someone may be looking for you."

The reporter who was being trained pointed at the back of Morgans. Due to her size, Leliana couldn't get in here, so she had to use this method.

"hiss!"

Morgans gasped when he saw Leliana, and all his feathers stood up.

"Princess Leleliana, why are you here? Are you here alone?"

Morgans still didn’t know what was going on in Porto Zibaralta Island, but as a daily attendee of tea parties, he had the privilege of seeing how Leliana treated Charlotte Lingling, who had an outbreak of siphoria.

It was not wise to provoke two of the most difficult groups in the underground world at the same time. Moreover, the incident was not big news in Morgans' eyes, so Morgans did not report it.

Morgans didn't know what Leliana wanted to do when she came to her door, but he knew very well that running away at this time was impossible.

While opening the window, Morgans was still looking around and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure he didn't see a certain little white cat. At least the other party wasn't using a notebook to sort things out.

"It's a good thing. I'm here to bring you big news. Take a look at these."

Leliana handed over a stack of photos.

The cracked sky, the broken island, and Leliana and Whitebeard wrestling.

"This is"

"Whitebeard's men robbed our things, and then I gave them a lesson. Later, Whitebeard came over, but finally chose to retreat. How about it, it's enough for you to write a report."

"That's enough. You are my timely help. I am worried that there will be no headlines to use tomorrow. How much do you want for the right to use these photos?"

"I'm not interested in money, but I want to review the content of the report, and I also want to specify some other content."

It is unrealistic to seduce Leliana with money. For example, the money that the Oliver family can offer may not be as much as Leliana's new year's money.

Morgans understood what Leliana meant and did not reject her. As long as such big news could be reported, some errors were acceptable.

"Of course, you are the party involved, of course you can take a look. But it's best to have a resounding nickname at this time. How about Long Ji?"

"I'm not interested. Just write your name. I'm not a pirate. By the way, remember to write your full name. It's Sidiril Leliana."

No more now
