The Pirate Garen

Rogue Town Pier.

After Smog reorganized the former garrison in Rogge Town, the battle plan to conquer the dragon's territory finally came to fruition.

Although many soldiers in the original garrison were corrupt elements who joined forces with Major Hammer, Smoker managed to organize the remaining available people under his command after some cleaning, making him, the colonel of the headquarters, finally pull up Formed a team of one hundred people.

And after taking over the Rogge Town base, Smoker's ship finally changed from that pocket civilian armed ship to a standard warship equipped with dozens of artillery pieces.

Smoker finally had the dignity of a high-ranking officer.

Naturally, senior military officers would not deal with those tedious matters in person.

So Smog smoked leisurely at the bow alone, while his adjutant Da Siqi was busy directing the navy soldiers to move supplies, overhaul equipment, and count personnel, making preparations for the warship's departure.

At this time, the busy movements of the naval soldiers suddenly stopped, and immediately there were unconscious soft praises one after another.

Da Siqi followed the eyes of the soldiers, and saw a burly man in a white suit, imposing and majestic, walking towards here slowly.

"Senior Galen!"

Da Siqi waved his hand from a distance, and greeted Galen in a respectful tone with a bit of excitement.

Galen also nodded slightly.

However, the focus of attention of the navy soldiers is naturally not the same as that of Da Siqi. Their eyes are all closely following the orange-haired girl in a pure white off-the-shoulder dress next to Galen.

After doing some shopping with Galen yesterday, Nami actually changed her short-sleeved skirt that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, and put on the one she chose that Galen rated as "amazing" at the beginning. Short shoulder princess dress.

"How about it?"

Nami enjoyed the admiring eyes of the people around her, and asked Galen beside her with some pride:

"Do I look good in this dress?"

"good."

Galen subconsciously tightened his nerves when he heard this familiar question, and his tone became stiff.

"snort!"

Nami pouted with dissatisfaction: "That's not what you said when you bought it for me yesterday."

Galen paused, but told Nami his true thoughts:

"Good-looking is good-looking"

"But you show your arms and legs."

"How can anyone dress like this and go to sea to fight?!"

"kindness?"

Nami, however, looked down at her exposed thin shoulders and slender legs protruding out of her skirt without knowing why, and said innocently:

"Is there anything wrong with wearing it like this?"

"Many girls go to sea like this, right?"

"Forehead"

Looking at Nami's upright expression, Galen couldn't find any words to refute.

Compared with the dressing style of "future" Nami in memory, Nami who is only wearing a short off-shoulder dress now is indeed extremely conservative.

And the beauties from all walks of life in the sea are also dressed in cooler clothes.

I really can't imagine what kind of special skills these bold girls used to keep themselves from getting naked in the fierce battle.

"You can wear it if you want."

Galen, whose thinking is rigid and can't keep up with the open atmosphere of this world, simply doesn't express his opinion on Nami's way of dressing.

Anyway, Nami dressed like this is indeed a lot more eye-catching.

“Back to Cocoyasi Village this time”

Nami's expression suddenly became serious, and her voice was firm:

"I want them to see a different me."

Standing beside Galen and in front of that warship, Nami's whole body was completely new at this time.

Not just a gorgeous new outfit, but also the inner hope for a new life.

She finally had the courage to confront the dragon head-on.

"Miss Nami?!"

Another surprised voice suddenly came from beside him.

Galen and Nami turned their heads to look, but it was Wallace who had arrived at the pier at some time.

He had already made a decision two days ago that he would go to Cocoyasi Village with Galen, a humanoid news maker, to follow up and report on the heroic deeds of Knight Galen.

Wallace exclaimed in amazement: "Miss Nami has changed so much!"

"Can I take a picture?"

"sure!"

Nami gladly accepted the request.

But Wallace didn't take out his camera like before, instead he took out a strange big snail and put it in his hand, and then he posed for a photo with Nami and Galen.

Both Nami and Galen were slightly taken aback.

Galen carefully looked at the big snail in Wallace's hand, which was obviously a living thing, and asked in some amazement, "Is this a phone bug?"

"That's right!"

Wallace proudly introduced his new equipment:

"It's a video phone bug with a camera."

"No need for film, not only can take and store a large number of photos, but also record video."

"After linking to special external communication equipment, photos and images can also be remotely faxed back to the headquarters in real time."

"Video phone bug?"

Nami was taken aback, and asked with a little surprise: "Is this thing expensive?!"

Indeed, phone bugs are already considered rare creatures in the East China Sea.

In the impression of Nami, the low-level working people, the video phone bug with as many functions as a digital camera plus a fax machine is a legendary treasure.

Nami is such a professional thief, but she can't even find out the specific price of the video phone bug. She only has a "very expensive" impression of it in her mind.

Because the levels are too far apart.

"yes!"

Wallace nodded slightly, and said:

"Our newspaper office doesn't have much equipment like this, and only high-level reporters are qualified to use it."

"The news value captured by ordinary reporters is not very high, and there is no need to use this expensive real-time fax equipment."

"oh?"

Galen heard Wallace's overtones: "You have been promoted?"

"Thanks to Lord Galen, I have captured world-class news."

Wallace nodded gratefully to Galen, and said excitedly:

"I'm not talented, I've already been promoted to become the vice president of "Donghai Daily"!"

"The vice president of the "Donghai Daily" newspaper?"

Nami yelled out in surprise, "That's true."

The gold content of this position is much more powerful than it sounds.

Because of the existence of special creatures like "news birds", almost every island in the sea except the windless zone is covered by newspapers.

Big news similar to the execution level of One Piece can spread throughout the world within three days, reaching the point where women and children know about it.

In this case, the newspaper office that controls public opinion has actually controlled the direction of the situation in the sea to a certain extent, and its influence is self-evident.

And "Donghai Daily" is the newspaper with the largest circulation in the East China Sea.

Although its influence is not comparable to those of the big newspapers on the great waterway, it is also enough to dominate the direction of public opinion in the entire East China Sea.

Coupled with the weak ruling power of the world government and inadequate news supervision, the sense of existence of local newspapers is even stronger.

Nami looked at Wallace's face who was too young compared to the position of vice president, and said in disbelief:

"Is the news we've made these two days so big?"

"It actually directly promoted you to become the vice president?"

"this."

Wallace said with some embarrassment:

"Actually, there are a small number of other reasons as well."

"The behind-the-scenes funder of Donghai Daily is my father."

"Well"

Nami's expression suddenly became weird, and she thought of the huge interview fee that Wallace took out before:

"No wonder you, a little reporter, are so generous."

"Ha ha."

Wallace said here with a shy smile:

"Miss Nami and Lord Galen have helped me a lot."

"Father has never supported me as a reporter. It was you who helped me prove my ability as a reporter, and finally changed his opinion."

Wallace waved the video phone bug in his hand again, and said:

"Stop talking, let's take a picture, both of you!"

"Your image is perfect now. I want to take a photo and fax it back to the agency, and use it as a picture for that special report."

"oh?"

Galen was a little strange: "Haven't you sent that news yet?"

"not at all."

"After all, this is world-class news involving naval heroes and the crew of One Piece. Naturally, it needs to be treated with caution."

Wallace explained seriously:

"And Ms. Nami is also involved in the news, considering the concealment of our next bandit suppression operation."

"I specially arranged the release time. The delivery of this news report will probably arrive at Cocoyasi Village at the same time as our bandit suppression team."

"I see."

Nami nodded gratefully to Wallace.

"Speak up"

Galen suddenly said curiously: "Since it's about me, can I read the press release in advance?"

"no problem!"

Wallace readily took out a stack of manuscripts from his briefcase:

"This is a news sample I wrote, take it and read it!"

"From the steel knife to the clown Bucky to the corrupt garrison in Rogue Town, all the heroic deeds of Lord Galen are recorded in it!"

"very good."

Galen nodded in satisfaction, and eagerly took over the press release handed over by Wallace and began reviewing it.

After all, this is the first time he has become a news figure, and Galen is still looking forward to it.

a moment later

"I said."

Galen's face was gloomy and watery:

"This '50-50 Open' and 'One Way Swordsman'."

"What the hell are they?!"
