Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 385 The Actions of the World Economic News Agency

Among the flowers.

This is a magnificent palace.

Deep within this palace stands a throne symbolizing the king of the world.

Eight hundred years ago, the twenty kings who founded the World Government left the throne empty, forbidding anyone from sitting on it. But at that time, a figure sat high on it.

The strange thing is...

The Five Elders did not offer any comment.

The group of old men knelt respectfully before the dark shadow seated on the void throne, listening quietly to the commands given by the other party.

Im.

The world king hidden deep within Mary Geoise.

This is a figure deeply hidden by the World Government. The World Government and the Five Elders have always been guided by Im to eliminate factors that cause unrest in the world.

same…

To avoid the world finding out…

Im also forbids anyone from knowing of his existence.

Anyone who knows of its existence will be thoroughly eliminated.

The King of the World sat quietly on the Void Throne, listening intently as the Five Elders reported on the Golden Palace of Alabasta, shrouding everything around him in darkness.

"As you all say..."

"Is Mu's existence... now known to others?"

"This…"

The five elders exchanged glances and then lowered their heads again.

"I'm afraid that's the case..."

The Five Elders dared not lie about this matter and could only mention their remedial measures: "We will immediately dispatch the Navy to intercept and hunt down all pirates who know about this..."

"But there's still one problem..."

An old man could only softly voice their concerns: "That newly emerged Konoha Pirates are just as powerful as Rocks was back then. Even with two admirals, Sengoku couldn't capture them, and there's still a possibility of information leaks..."

Another old man raised his head and spoke in a deep voice about his thoughts: "I believe we can use the Buster Call to destroy Alabasta and bury all its inhabitants first. However, the Fleet Admiral and the two Admirals are also aware of this..."

An old man also raised his head and voiced his dissenting opinion: "Doing so might alert the pirates, causing them to spread news of Lord Im, and even if we destroy Alabasta, it will be to no avail..."

"So... it means there's only remedial work..."

The shadows on the Void Throne fell silent. A finger tapped lightly on the throne, and then a voice suddenly rose again: "Enough... Mu also wants to know... Lily's words... the true hidden secret of Alabasta..."

"We... do not yet know."

An old man lowered his head and cautiously reported, "After all, the information from the underground palace involves Lord Im, so we dare not handle it without authorization..."

"It's alright."

The shadow seated high on the Void Throne paid no heed to any of this, waving his hand to show the Five Elders his stance: "Let Mu know... Lily's words... the rest will be dealt with one by one."

"..."

The five elders lowered their heads, not daring to speak further.

The rest of the people cleaned up one by one…

This obviously includes admirals and fleet commanders!

If the secrets recorded on the Alabasta Golden Inscriptions are too astonishing, are these people also among those to be eliminated by Im?

but…

They had no choice but to do it.

In order to bring back the secrets of Alabasta, the Five Elders plan to make a collective trip to the Golden Palace in Alabasta.

If those blank histories are too shocking, the Five Elders can use their power to eliminate Sengoku the Buddha and the two Marine Admirals who know the truth!

but…

The Five Elders will soon no longer have to worry about this problem.

World Economic News Agency.

The news industry across the entire ocean is extremely developed, all thanks to Morgans, the president of the news agency, who is a user of the Bird-Bird Fruit, Albatross Form.

As a leading figure in journalism, Morgans always appeared in his orc form, traveling the world to gather information, even risking his life to do so. Many major events were first reported by his newspaper, directly igniting the entire ocean…

thus…

Morgans was also known as "Big News".

Morgans was well aware that journalism was a very difficult profession, but he didn't care about that; he only cared about creating big news stories...

As a media professional, Morgans always hoped his newspaper would be extremely influential, capable of easily disrupting the course of events at sea…

For example, the case of the Celestial Dragon being assassinated.

Morgans reported the news immediately upon receiving it, knowing it would cause a sensation, and as he predicted, that issue of the newspaper sold out...

Having tasted the sweetness once…

Naturally, they would be eager to enjoy the benefits a second time.

During this time, Morgans felt that something big was about to happen, and he traveled around the sea hoping to produce another truly big news story.

but…

Morgans also learned a piece of news from a newsbird.

The last time Buggy the Clown was assassinated by a Celestial Dragon was actually passed on to him secretly by the world's greatest swordsman and Shichibukai, Dracule Mihawk. This made Morgans feel that there were still secrets about Mihawk that could be uncovered, so he secretly wanted to infiltrate Mihawk's vicinity.

I have to say…

The owner of this news agency works incredibly hard.

However, Dracule Mihawk never returned home. Instead, he sailed off in a small boat to the New World, the latter half of the Grand Line, leaving Morgans, who had been waiting near his home, completely disappointed...

but!

Morgans received new news!

The news agency staff delivered to him a piece of news even more shocking than Bucky the Clown's assassination of a Celestial Dragon—a news that, once revealed, would be enough to completely ignite the world!

The whole world…

It will definitely be completely detonated!

Morgans was extremely curious about what kind of news would ignite the sea, so he hurriedly returned to his company and eagerly opened a strange scroll.

then…

Morgans was terrified.

The story told in this scroll was far too astonishing; any casual message from it could become a newspaper headline and cause a sensation across the ocean, especially since it involved the founder of the World Government eight hundred years ago!

"This is a huge problem..."

"Is this fake?"

Morgans looked at the scroll in his hand, sweating profusely.

Although he was an incredibly audacious individual, he knew that if the contents of this scroll were published as news, he, as the editor-in-chief, would have to constantly worry about being assassinated…

however…

Another person also sent the same message.

Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Although Bucky the Joker, another insider, had never considered this possibility, Crocodile was very quick-witted. Knowing the nature of the World Government, he directly sent the secret of the Alabasta Golden Palace to the World Economic News Agency.

The World Government will definitely abolish his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and will definitely send a Marine Admiral to hunt him down. Crocodile simply went all out and revealed the World Government's secrets, giving the World Government a huge problem first!

Compared to that scroll…

Crocodile's submissions were very well organized.

[Big News! Morgans, anyone who knows about the Void Century will be dealt with by the World Government. Now you're one of them...]

"Threatening me! We won't be threatened like that!"

Holding Crocodile's letter, Morgans loudly ordered his employees, "Work overtime immediately! We need to release this big news as soon as possible!"

"One article..."

"News that could truly ignite the entire world!"

Morgans' heart trembled with excitement, as if he could see his newspaper causing a worldwide sensation: "Whether it be the peaceful seas or the final destination of the Grand Line, this news report will shake the world!"

"The blank century of history will be revealed in our hands! The secrets of Laugh Tale will be unveiled by us! The revival of the Goddess of the Rabbit will begin with our pens! The whole world will tremble because of our news reports!"

Morgans was absolutely certain of this!

No one, absolutely, could possibly ignore its newspaper!

Everyone will definitely buy its newspaper and read the big news and major events happening in Alabasta from it!

"Aren't you going to verify it?"

An employee of a news agency cautiously raised his questions.

"What's the point of verification? Just report it first!"

Morgans angrily rebuked his employees.

Morgans would fabricate news to create a big event, let alone a news submission from Crocodile and Mystic!

certainly…

Morgans wasn't without brains.

News reporters in Alabasta did indeed release some information, including news about Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, attempting to usurp the throne. However, Crocodile quickly disappeared without a trace, and no one knows his whereabouts…

same.

The Straw Hat Pirates also left Alabasta.

Bucky the Joker, who had always been relegated to a minor role, and his crew also left.

The atmosphere in Alabasta did not ease after the pirates left; instead, it became even more tense in the desert kingdom!

Naval warships were continuously mobilized from various places, and tens of thousands of naval personnel landed directly in this desert kingdom to help quell the Alabasta rebels. Martial law was declared directly within the kingdom, strictly prohibiting anyone from leaving Alabasta!

Obviously...

There's definitely something wrong in Alabasta.

The World Government is very likely to do something to Alabasta. Once they realize that the World Economic News Agency has some secrets about Alabasta, they certainly won't let the World Economic News Agency off the hook. Morgans is ready to release a super big news story!

and…

The sooner the better!

If the speed is too slow, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the world government!

However, Morgans clearly underestimated the World Government's espionage capabilities; one of its agents had infiltrated its newspaper!

Just as these news articles were being distributed to various employees for sorting, one newspaper employee looked at the content that had been assigned to him in horror!

A sinister glint flashed across the employee's face. He abruptly stepped forward, raised his gun, and pointed it at Morgans: "Morgans, in the name of the World Government, I order you to immediately cease publishing this news!"

"Have the World Government's people infiltrated my territory?!"

Morgans narrowed his eyes, then suddenly lunged forward, flapping his wings to knock down the infiltrated agent!

"do not be afraid!"

Morgans stood in the center of his newspaper office, looking at his terrified employees. A fierce look suddenly appeared on his face: "If we don't publish this news, we won't survive. The World Government will definitely find a way to eliminate us! Only when the entire ocean knows about this news can we survive!"

"but…"

One employee was still somewhat worried.

"rest assured."

Morgans comforted his employees, saying softly, "The World Government is too busy taking care of itself to have time for us..."

"maybe…"

A smug look even appeared on Morgans's bird-like head as he nonchalantly declared, "The World Government will need our help someday!"

Morgans acted quickly.

If we're even slightly slower, the world government might come knocking.

The ocean may have separated the islands from each other, but it could not stop the birds from flying in the sky. Flocks of seagulls flew out from the World Economic News Agency.

This flock of sales seagulls from the World Economic News Agency delivered newspapers that could influence global affairs, bringing the world both past history and the unknown future.

The second half of the Grand Line.

This is a sea area called the New World.

A small boat slowly moves forward against the waves.

The world's greatest swordsman, Djokovic, sat on a boat, steadily holding a glass of red wine in his hand, his elegant life unaffected by the turbulent sea.

This was a leisurely trip.

Mihawk plans to travel to the New World to find Shanks and chat with his old friend about Monkey D. Luffy. He also wants to secretly find out if Shanks has ever heard of a group called the Konoha Pirates…

after all…

This pirate crew forced Mihawk to join...

Mihawk needs to know exactly what kind of organization he's joined, right?

A seagull landed on the bow of his boat, sold him a newspaper, and then flew off to another place, seemingly in a hurry to finish its work.

"Any other interesting news?"

Mihawk squinted and opened the newspaper in his hand.

Click!

The wine glass suddenly shattered on the boat!

The fragile wine glass shattered, spilling red wine onto the deck!

"Those guys..."

"Do you want to turn the entire ocean upside down?"

The world's greatest swordsman stared at the newspaper headline in disbelief, unable to believe what he was seeing. He felt as if he had arrived in the new world far too early!

If only I had known…

I should go to Alabasta myself!

The hidden truth behind The Great Myth: The Secret of Bravedru!

[The last words of Nefertari D. Lily, one of the twenty kings who founded the World Government eight hundred years ago, have been revealed!]

I'm going to create an climax tomorrow...

Write it properly...

I broke up a couple of days ago, and I'm still finding it a bit hard to adjust. I'll get back on track soon...
