I'm a pirate in Tokyo

Wu Sheng finished wiping his hair and took a breath on the sofa.

Not in a hurry to go to sleep now, he got up and burned a stick of incense in front of the bodies of Takeda Asahi's parents to express his gratitude.

After finishing the incense, he took out his mobile phone and lay back on the sofa. He remembered that Nami said that he would continue to draw when he got back. He quickly cheered up and began to search online for how new cartoonists should submit their manuscripts.

There were many and complete instructions online, and he found it out after a while. If he was going to submit a manuscript, he would probably only need to prepare the original painting of the first episode to let the editor understand the painting level, and the rest of the storyboards would be barely usable.

After all, Nami gave up her part-time job and now has zero income. She even spends her school time learning comic creation. He must let her see the results quickly. No matter how mature she is, she is only a high school student. She cannot be patient and draw a few pictures.

It takes several months to harvest the fruits.

Nami has a strong learning ability. At the current rate of progress, it is estimated that within two to three weeks, she will be able to finish the original storyboard for the first episode. The first episode has a full 50 pages!

Besides, after a few months, they no longer knew what their situation was, especially Wu Sheng, who had experienced three near-death encounters in just over a month. Such risk probability made him not go at all now.

Think about what the future will be like.

Do you want him to stop taking risks and put safety first? Impossible. After experiencing all this in just over a month, his heart and will have become as firm as a rock, and his fighting spirit has completely burned.

Especially after tonight, after Wu Sheng experienced the exhilarating feeling of constantly improving himself in the ultimate battle and then breaking through his own limits, it was impossible to quit. He had already entered the extraordinary and it was impossible to set up a street stall.

------

After knowing how to submit a manuscript, he picked up a set of "CROW" single volumes that he bought yesterday and prepared to do a simple survey on people's aesthetics of comics in this world and relax his nerves at the same time.

Unexpectedly, I became fascinated while watching it. "CROW" is indeed famous for its excellent storyboards and lens language. Even without dialogue, readers can clearly perceive the development of the story.

He had finished reading one book and was about to pick up the second one when a message from Nami came through.

He opened it and saw that she sent a character picture, which was indeed the character of Yue, the protagonist of "Death King's Notes".

I saw an exquisite comic character popping up on the paper: the character has short hair, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and sharp eyes. The overall look is a bit like Mr. Sakamoto in his previous life. If you look closely, he looks a bit like wearing

Wu Sheng of glasses.

This was certainly not consistent with the protagonist "Yue" in his mind, so he started typing to describe his impression of the moon.

The two discussed back and forth, and the time had reached 12 o'clock before they knew it. At this time, the protagonist in Nami's painting was very close to the original appearance, and it clearly had her own painting style. The "moon" looked like

It is softer and more rational, not as sharp and evil as before.

Wu Sheng nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, he was doing the follow-up storyboarding and already discovered that after changing the plot of not killing the detectives, the subsequent plot was also greatly affected!

It’s not like I took it for granted at first that it wouldn’t affect the rest of the world, but that it would affect the whole body.

First of all, the story of Yue who "does not kill innocent people" must be adjusted later when he ruthlessly exploits the heroine, otherwise the character will collapse. In the past, he did not kill innocent people for the sake of justice, but why is he so ruthless in the later stage?

Because of L's pressure? Don't be kidding, the whole character will develop in the direction of cowardice, and [mentality deformed due to pressure] will be worse than the original callousness, right?

Fortunately, Wu Sheng is not planning to make a second part, so he is still modifying the scope of his abilities. He is planning to let Yue and L die together.

This development may be the best ending to this story. The showdown between [Justice] and [Justice] has no winner or loser.

After thinking about it, he lay on the sofa and fell asleep with the pillow in his arms.

Busy days always go by very quickly.

Time is the most incomprehensible machine. It is always buzzing, humming, flying high, roaring, diving deep, and then being buried in the soil. After people pour their enthusiasm and efforts, green trees grow.

Branch seedlings.

On the second day after returning, the four of them went to the boutique restaurant where they ate last time. While eating, they decided on their next course of action.

I don’t know if delicious food can always give people inspiration and courage. In the next two weeks, the four of them put aside their worries and went to the world of crime three more times.

Every time after routine cleaning of the negative shadows in the oasis where the school is located, they would go straight to the transmission network site and continue their unfinished battle at the bottom level of the giant scarlet tree.

The teachers and students in the real school also wonder why those bad boys turn around one after another, apologizing to the people they bullied and immersing themselves in studying again. It seems that they want to go to college...

Wu Sheng and the other two looked at the thriving atmosphere in the school. They were happy and satisfied and began to carefully start the journey of spawning monsters and upgrading on the first floor of the site.

What reassured them was that no accidents occurred three times.

However, the Sin Realm transmission site is a projection of the subway after all. There is always no shortage of negative emotions here, and the number of shadow monsters born from negative emotions every day is still huge!

Even though they killed a lot every week, the next time they came to the site, they saw an endless sea of ​​monsters that they couldn't kill all.

But what is gratifying is that with the improvement of soul power and the rapid growth of combat power, their efficiency in clearing monsters is getting higher and higher.

With increasingly stronger combat effectiveness and increasingly skilled teamwork, the number they eliminate each time will be much greater than the previous one.

The last time was last Thursday

, they have been able to kill the wave of shadow monsters to a halt!

At this time, Luffy, the lowest level among the four, had already reached Level 41 in Resistance Will. The panels of the four had also undergone tremendous changes, and the one who had made the most progress was naturally Wu Sheng.

Not to mention his growing tacit understanding with Elige, he and Ma Chao also gradually became familiar with each other during the battle.

Under Ma Chao's teachings and experience, in a battle that was so crazy that there was no gap, his fighting skills jumped several levels and improved qualitatively! Originally, with the spear in Wu Sheng's hands, stabbing was the strongest attack, because

After all, Eligo uses a Western-style lance fighting method, so it also affects Wu Sheng's fighting skills.

However, under the indoctrination of Ma Chao, a master of martial arts, Wu Sheng's spear skills have been improved in all aspects. He can stab, split, and hit. When stabbing, he can grow a spear, when he cuts, he can become a razor, and when he cuts, he can become a hook and sickle!

What surprised Wu Sheng even more was that Uncle Ma Chao not only had superb spear skills, but also had a unique style of swordsmanship and boxing skills! Unparalleled in the world!

In particular, Ma Chao's swordsmanship "skill" is a swordsmanship similar to the famous sword technique "drawing the sword" in District 11. According to a historical record recorded in "Wei Lue", it can be inferred that Ma Chao's "sleight of hand" is very likely

This is the prototype sword technique of "Iaijutsu"!

Chapter 59 of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" also mentions: "The five generals all came out with swords. Chao stepped out of the tent, and the five generals surrounded and killed each other. Chao alone waved his sword and defeated the five generals. Where the sword shined, blood spattered

Fei: Cut down the horse for fun, chop down Liang Xing, and the three generals will escape."

During a siege, he could block five generals with one sword, cut down two generals, and drive away three generals. This is not an ordinary cheat. Those who could be generals in the west of China in ancient times were more capable than others. Ma Chao really deserves to be called

General Kamuiten, with his terrifying arsenal of martial arts and coverage of martial arts, both Luffy and Zoro were envious.

After training among thousands of armies, Wu Sheng can now compete purely with martial arts skills. He can fight Sauron with a sword and only lose a few points. If he uses a gun, Sauron is no match for him!

Zoro was so angry that he started to pay attention to the increasingly lazy Rakshasa and began to learn the Nodachi technique from him.

Yes, Rakshasa's one-sword style is not an ordinary one-sword style, but a nodachi technique on the battlefield. Originally, Zoro and Rakshasa cooperated just to gain Rakshasa's power bonus. In fact, they still used their own kendo school.

.

Luffy has also made great progress in these rounds of training to spawn monsters and upgrades. Luffy's own combat power has become very strong. In several melee battles with monster waves, he has created a variety of group attack moves, which makes up for the loss.

My own shortcomings in group combat.

Nami, on the other hand, turned to the group attack mage and never returned. As her soul power soared again, her wind and thunder magics combined to derive various extraordinary spells. At the same time, she understood the ice system when a wave of monsters broke out.

Control spells have changed from purely violent output to a violent mage who can be defended and attacked.

The respective panels of the four people will be released at the appropriate time in the future, so I won’t go into details here to avoid feeling that the words are too short.

The transfer site will not deliberately maintain the specific number of shadow monsters in this layer, it will only continue to spawn a fixed number of shadows.

Because they killed more and more people, the density of monsters in the last time has become much less dense without decreasing.

This also gave them hope of exploring the negative and second floors after clearing the first floor.

The rapid growth of the will to resist further affects their real life.

It’s hard to say how much they have grown physically, but mentally, they have gained a lot.

The countless repeated real-life battles with monsters in the criminal world have made Zoro's swordsmanship significantly improved, especially his momentum. When sparring with members in the club, with the shouts of killing thousands of enemies, he was almost unstoppable.

The enemy of unity.

Luffy made great progress in learning the drums with Brooke at school, causing Brooke to call him a drum genius; when he got home, he started fighting with his brother. According to Luffy, he had entered an unstoppable state: "Ace was also surprised.

Why have I made so much progress hahahaha!”

As for Wu Sheng and Nami, they are on the subway.

Today they put aside everything else and headed to a place together.

Of course, they are not going on a date, they are going to submit articles.

They spent all the non-combat time in the two weeks discussing with each other and working hard on creation. Finally, they completed the first chapter of "Death King's Notes" yesterday! A full 50-page manuscript!

This efficiency far exceeded their own expectations.

There are many reasons, Wu Sheng’s clear storyboarding and painting guidance, the spiritual growth gained in the criminal world, the money earned from part-time work bought convenient brushes and tools... and so on.

But more importantly, it’s Nami’s extraordinary talent and her hard work, day and night.

Wu Sheng looked at the heavy dark circles on her face, and then at her right hand holding the original document bag. It was covered with black ink marks. The joint where she held the pen had turned from blisters to calluses in just two weeks.

, completely unlike the hands of a high school girl.

"What are you doing?" Nami saw him staring at the bag in her hand and asked, "Are you nervous?"

"No..." Wu Sheng raised his head and touched his nose, and said a little apologetically: "Your hands..."

"Ah?" Nami was stunned for a moment, then looked down at her messy right hand, "These ink marks can't be washed away no matter how you wash them, you can only wait for them to slowly disappear on their own."

"You didn't understand what I meant. I meant I'm sorry for dragging you into this. Thank you for your hard work."

Nami was still confused and didn't know what he was talking about: "Huh? What's this? I like drawing. Isn't this the effort that should be put in to achieve results?"

"Hahaha, that's right." Wu Sheng realized clearly that she was not an ordinary female high school student at all.

"Don't underestimate everyone's own consciousness. Unnecessary sympathy will only make people feel

Just despise her." Wu Sheng thought randomly in his mind, then took out his phone and checked the time.

Yesterday, Wu Sheng had called the editors of Shuyingsha to express his wish to submit articles and let the editors take a look at their works.

Because it was his first time submitting an article, and he revealed that he was a high school student, he could clearly feel that the other party was not very enthusiastic.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he can have a face-to-face opportunity, he believes that he will succeed.

...

Shueisha, JUNK Weekly Editorial Department.

On a table piled with various paper manuscripts and document bags, a tall man answered the phone at the front desk: "Hello, um, I am, yes, arrived early? Okay, then you take them to the reception desk.

Come on, I'll be down right away, okay, thank you."

"Oh? Is the high school student who said he was going to submit an article yesterday arrived?" A young man behind him wearing a red sportswear and orange hair turned around and asked.

"Yes, I said I arrived early. I don't have anything particularly urgent at hand right now. Let's go see them first." The tall man tidied the table and said.

The orange-haired young man stretched his body and said, "Since Shinzuma and Ajou Mumenha became famous, more and more middle school students have come to submit articles."

"Well, they are just children's play-house works. They are not even eggs, let alone hatching golden chickens." A fat editor opposite them also intervened in the conversation and said full of complaints:

"What a waste of time."

"Those "playing house" works are mostly concentrated in the winter and summer vacations. I have never seen any submissions during the semester. They should be more serious works." The tall man said, "But it's hard to say. Geniuses can easily appear.

If so, he wouldn’t be called a genius.”

"Hattori, go ahead! Then we'll find another Ajou Kimonoha! The new wife doesn't seem to have much energy lately." The orange-haired young man said.

"Okay, I'll go down first." The tall man put on his coat and walked to the elevator.

------

Reception desk No. 2 downstairs.

It was the first time for Nami to enter such a dignified office building. She was a little nervous sitting in the meeting room. Looking at Wu Sheng who was reporting their progress to Luffy and Zoro on the phone with a nonchalant expression next to her, she couldn't help but ask: "Takeda,

Aren't you nervous at all?"

"No." Wu Sheng looked at her sideways and said, "I have seen the original painting. What level are we at? How can we be nervous about something that is sure to happen?"

"Huh? It will definitely work? Are you going to make FLAG with such nonsense?" Nami patted his shoulder angrily, "What if our work is said to be worthless?"

"It's impossible, give yourself some confidence, you are a talented beautiful girl." Wu Sheng was hit so hard that his body tilted, but he still did not avoid it. Two hits could divert Nami's attention and relieve her tension.

The mood is also good.

But Nami didn't feel any relief, and instead became more and more nervous.

When she faced thousands of shadow monsters and Jizo in the crime world, she didn't feel too nervous. But since she entered this building, her heart began to beat faster and couldn't stop. Probably the more she paid attention to it, the more

The more you think you will succeed, the more nervous you will be.

These 50 pages of manuscripts carry too much hope for her. “So much time has been spent, and all the money Takeda earned from his part-time job was used to buy brushes, tools, manuscript paper, and materials. It would be really bad if it was ruined this time.

"

The manuscript in her hand, not to mention the accumulation of their hard work and efforts, the economic time cost in the early stage has exceeded 500,000 yen: she quit her part-time job and had no income, and Wu Sheng invested all her income.

Purchase brush tool information.

"It's okay. Where did this go? If it is serialized in the future, it will be the beginning of hell." Wu Sheng continued to comfort her: "I have to draw 20 manuscripts a week! Then I will draw for several years!"

"Hey! How many years will this hell last?" Nami exclaimed.

She is now drawing at home all night and sleeping when she comes to school, so that she can produce a 50-page original drawing in almost 16 days. If she hadn't still ranked first in several tests, the teachers also knew that her family's situation was complicated, and she

I had already been dragged to the office for oral education.

When she thought that life like this would continue for another two years, she suddenly felt that life might be nothing but pain.

"Or maybe we work harder during the summer vacation and finish the painting directly?" Wu Sheng said with a teasing smile.

"Oh, yes, you don't have to go to school during the summer vacation, so you can have a lot more time." She now has to commute to school for nearly three hours.

"Hahaha......"

Tetsu Hattori, comics editor of Shueisha's JUNK weekly, 28 years old.

Without a girlfriend, comics and work are his entire life.

He received a call from a high school student yesterday, saying that he was coming to submit an article. Although he didn't pay much attention to it, he was still looking forward to it.

After all, he was the one who discovered the famous middle school student group "Yacheng Mumengye" in the industry. The youthfulness and firm eyes of those two teenagers made him unforgettable to this day. Although he is no longer their editor-in-chief, he still

Pay attention to their growth and struggles.

So he had always been looking forward to high school students submitting articles. But when he heard the boys and girls fighting in the reception desk and swearing about what would happen after serialization, the veins on his forehead bulged, "This shouldn't be

Is it because you want to chase girls and then play tricks on me? Don’t underestimate the comics, you bastard!!”

He knocked gently on the glass door to signal that he had arrived. When he saw the two of them sitting upright, he thought for a while, he was already here, let's take a look before going back.

If he really came to chase girls, he would start squirting today for the first time in a long time.
