I'm a pirate in Tokyo

The two took the subway back to their apartment in Jimbocho. Wu Sheng asked Sanji to wait at his house playing games while he went to Nami's house.

"Ding dong."

"Here we are." Nami opened the door: "Why are you here? Didn't you promise to come here at 5 o'clock?"

"Well, there was an accident. Mr. Hattori has arrived?" Wu Sheng didn't explain much.

"I just arrived. Not long after, I was letting him read your latest book "The Shaman King"."

"Hey!" Wu Sheng stopped in the middle of changing his shoes and looked at Nami in surprise: "Didn't you say you would make a line draft and show it to him?"

Nami walked into the room, looked back at Wu Sheng with a blank look on his face, his eyes revealed a strange pride, and smiled quietly without answering.

"Could it be that..." Wu Sheng touched his chin, put on his other shoe, walked into the entrance hall, and looked at Nami who was smiling without saying a word in surprise: "You've finished the painting now?!

"

"Yes." Nami nodded reservedly, with an expression as if she would come to praise me and worship me.

"You are using a cheat!" Wu Sheng couldn't believe it at all: "Two days?!"

"Hahahaha!" Nami couldn't hold back her laughter and whispered: "When you were trapped in the hall, I couldn't sleep at all, so I just started painting..."

Wu Sheng followed her into the living room: "That was also four days... Isn't that too exaggerated?"

"It's just a line drawing, not colored." Nami walked in front and greeted Hattori who was sitting on the sofa: "Mr. Hattori, Takeda is here."

Hattori raised his head and glanced at him: "I'll talk about it after watching it..." Then he lowered his head and continued to watch the follow-up storyboards of Shaman King.

Wu Sheng said hello to the two assistants who were working nearby, took a small chair and sat on the other side of the coffee table, while Nami returned to her painting table and continued working. Their completion level was normal, and there was no problem.

Because accidents have occurred frequently these days, progress has been delayed.

Wu Sheng originally came here to hand over the serial manuscript, in case Hattori had any opinions, so that he could make timely modifications. By the way, I wanted to ask about their readership ranking for the first episode. Unexpectedly, Nami actually put the Shaman King's character and the line draft for the first episode.

Made it.

He was a little worried that Hattori would think they were too ambitious, after all, Death Note had only been serialized for one chapter.

Seeing that Hattori was looking at it seriously, he simply stood up and poured himself a glass of water, then ran to Nami to check the progress of "Death King's Notes", and whispered: "You are too presumptuous! "Death King's Notes"

"Notes" is only the first episode, and you gave Mr. Hattori a new story."

"Huh?" Nami looked up at him with a natural expression: "Didn't I tell you the day before yesterday to show it to Mr. Hattori first, and you agreed."

"I mean in the future..." Wu Sheng's balls hurt.

Nami looked indifferent: "I've already done it, why wait until later."

"You're swollen, Nami..." Wu Sheng shook his head and sighed.

"No, I am confident in us. Didn't Mr. Ohana say that a chef must have absolute confidence in his own food, otherwise he will not be able to make excellent food." Nami said while holding a paintbrush to the

Wu Sheng nodded in the air.

Wu Sheng wanted to say something else, but at this time Hattori had already finished reading and shouted: "Mr. Fukada, Mr. Takeda, I've finished reading here..."

"Oh!" Wu Sheng and Nami agreed quickly and walked over together.

Hattori looked at Wu Sheng and sighed: "There is no problem with the latest chapter of "The Notes of the Death King". I have confirmed that I have received it."

"Hehe." Wu Sheng smiled happily and asked: "What is the final readers' voting ranking for our first episode?"

"Ah, first place, but..." Hattori was stuck. Before he came, he had prepared a lot of rhetoric to deal with Wu Sheng's pride after hearing the first place, but now he was handed over by Nami.

He was hit hard by "Shaman King" and was at a loss. He no longer knew what to say to the two of them.

This part

The new work obviously follows JUNK's most typical shounen kingly style, and its supernatural world view setting is very brilliant. It is weird but does not have the horror of horror comics, but allows readers to feel an atmosphere full of joy and leisure.

, the character creation is also very interesting, and some of the dialogues in it clearly show the author's understanding of Buddhist reincarnation.

He didn't expect that the two of them could actually create such a comic. After all, "Death King's Notes" is a purely evil reasoning comic, not a battle comic based on the kingly style of shonen comics.

"...However, it is normal for the first chapter of a new series to rank first." Hattori Qiang said: "The key is to see the ranking of the second chapter..."

However, he stopped talking in the end because the young man in front of him was obviously a monster, and he initially doubted whether he had the energy to balance both part-time work and serialization, which was simply nonsense.

Because the new work "Shaman King" in front of him has clearly shown him that even if he is working part-time, Wu Sheng still has the energy to create.

After all, there is no need to think about copying homework. How can copying homework be as difficult as writing homework?

"Forget it, it's up to you, but you have to pay attention to your health and don't ruin your body by staying up late at a young age." Hattori advised.

Seeing that Hattori seemed to be giving up on persuading him not to work, Wu Sheng smiled and lifted up his school uniform, showing off his six well-defined abs under Ma Chao's strict guidance: "Hey, I'm in good health!"

Wu Sheng has always longed to have six-pack abs in his last life. He also opened a gym and took private lessons for a while. However, it was obvious that the amount of exercise could not keep up with the workload and he spent a lot of money. The abs just did not show up, so he has six-pack abs in this life.

The abdominal muscles make him feel very good, and he often praises himself after taking a shower...

Hattori looked at the abdominal muscles that symbolized health and strength. He felt that he had really lived like a dog in his life, and his aura dropped again. He even didn't want to talk to Wu Sheng who was showing off his muscles.

Seeing Hattori's gloomy expression, Nami quickly interrupted Wu Sheng's showoff, slapped his hand away, and quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Hattori, how about this new work?"

Hattori was shocked. He was still very confident in his own vision. Seeing that Nami asked about his professional field, he didn't get entangled with Wu Sheng: "It's very good. As for episode 5 now, it feels a little bit like that."

, but I felt it was a bit delayed at the beginning. Although this little character is the support of the protagonist and brings out the world view, it feels a bit forced."

"Oh, what if he also finds a contracted soul in the next few chapters?" Wu Sheng asked.

Hattori picked up the storyboard and read a few pages, touched his chin and closed his eyes to imagine, and finally nodded: "That's okay, then the little delay in the front is just a foreshadowing for the story behind."

"Yeah." Wu Sheng nodded: "I know, I'll revise it later to make the rhythm tighter. I'll show it to you after I've revised it."

"Okay..." Hattori was about to nod when he suddenly woke up: "Wait a minute! Are you planning to do a dual series?"

Hattori was about to say that it was impossible for him to agree to let two high school students play dual games, but Wu Sheng interrupted him decisively: "No, there are still 20 chapters of Death Note anyway, and I don't have anything special to do during this time.

I wrote it just for fun."

"Yes, we have no plans to do a double release at the moment. My current level is not yet able to take care of two comics at the same time. Especially "Shaman King" has a lot of fighting. I need to study hard to turn Takeda's storyboards into a good-looking one.

Comics." Nami also knew her current shortcomings, and explained to Hattori with a smile: "He made it, and we also wanted to know what the shortcomings of this story were, so we showed it to Mr. Hattori for you to read."

"Oh, I wrote it for fun..." Hattori breathed a sigh of relief and advised: ""Death King's Notes" has just begun, you still have to take it seriously."

"We know, don't worry." Wu Sheng nodded and reassured him: "The quality of "Death King's Notes" must be the first priority."

Hattori felt that coming to pick up the manuscript today was like riding a roller coaster. The responsible cartoonist is too evil to be responsible.

It’s also a burden to write on my heart...

He looked at the time and saw that it was getting late, so he stood up and picked up the manuscript of the latest chapter of "Notes of the Death King": "It's getting late, and I have to go back to the editorial office, so I'll leave first. Come on."

"Okay, let's see you off." Wu Sheng and Nami also quickly stood up and saw him to the door.

Hattori changed his shoes, said goodbye to the two of them, walked to the elevator, and suddenly thought: "How about asking Takeda to provide storyboards, and then find another cartoonist to draw it?"

With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened.

He walked in hesitantly, but in the end he did not go back to ask them for the storyboards of "Shaman King": "The cooperation between Takeda and Fukada has just begun, so I don't want to get involved blindly. If a new cartoonist is found, Fukada is thinking

If you have an idea, it would be bad if it affects "Death King's Notes"."

So the news that Wu Sheng and others were working on a new manga was firmly suppressed by Hattori, and he did not tell anyone in the editorial department.

Otherwise, those editors who usually edit results would definitely come to lobby Wu Sheng. After all, good paintings are often available, but good story creations are relatively scarce.

"What a terrifying genius." Hattori sighed inwardly, and rode the sunset back to the editorial office to finish the week's work.

------

Wu Sheng and Nami discussed the line draft of "Notes of the Death King" again and made sure there were no other problems. They briefly talked about the long stay and said goodbye with Nami looking worried: "Then I'll leave first.

Sanji and I will go find Mr. Ohana later and tell them what happened so that they can be prepared."

"We are still too weak." Nami sent Wu Sheng to the door. The two of them were in the corridor of the apartment, watching the neon lights that lit up Tokyo one by one in the evening, and sighed.

"Rome was not built in a day." Wu Sheng said: "Time is on our side. As long as we don't relax and proceed steadily step by step, we will always reach our goal."

"I hope so." Nami squeezed her right fist lightly to encourage herself: "Tomorrow, the special training will be doubled for Sanji and Usopp!"

Wu Sheng regretfully mourned for Sanji and Usopp, praying that they could walk out of the world of crime tomorrow.

...

Sanji looked at Wu Sheng's strange expression and asked, "What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

"No, have you talked to Mr. Ohana? Are you sure they are at home now?" Wu Sheng grabbed the trolley ring and they were heading to Chef Renzi's house.

"Yes, Mr. Kyono and Mr. Aizawa are here too," Sanji said.

Wu Sheng was curious: "Oh? Why are they two there?"

“It seems like we are going to make new seasonal dishes based on the new wines we decided on during this wine exploration trip.”

"Cooking based on wine?" Wu Sheng was stunned. He was not familiar with French food, so he asked based on his own knowledge: "Dishes to go with wine?"

Sanji shook his head: "You have been working here for a while, you should know these basic common sense..."

Wu Sheng stretched out his hand, indicating please tell me.

"Many people think that in French cuisine, food is the protagonist and wine is the supporting role. However, in French cuisine, some chefs believe that wine is also a dish, so some chefs specifically create appetizers to accompany wine to highlight the fact that wine is the protagonist.

The special flavor of excellent wine, and this is what the chefs are doing now.”

"Oh, isn't it just the appetizers in Chinese food?" Wu Sheng said, aren't you just talking about the appetizers when you say so many things?

Sanji: "..." How to explain to an inexperienced person? He thought for a while and finally thought of how to explain: "Unlike Chinese food, there is no such thing as appetizers in French set meals.

, so Master and the others must be doing this in a unique way."

"Oh..." Wu Sheng knew a little about it and didn't ask any more questions. He thought that he should learn more about it later. After all, working here, doing what you do and loving what you do is the basic professional ethics.
