Daily life as a writer in the world of pirates

The second half of the Meili is from top to bottom: the conference room on the second floor, the warehouse on the first floor and the girls' room on the first floor.

There are openable partitions between two adjacent floors.

Wanzi rubbed his eyes, and his head popped out of the warehouse partition with sleepy eyes.

"It's only what time, and I feel like an earthquake on the top of my head. Haha~ I really feel that I am getting older. If this continues, will I soon enter Alzheimer's disease?"

Nami rubbed her temples frantically: "Hey, apart from Chopper, you are the last person on this ship to be qualified to say such a thing!"

Sanji knelt on one knee in front of Maruko and stretched out a hand to help her up: "Oh no~ Maruko-chan, in my heart, you will always be so beautiful~"

Luffy turned his head in surprise: "Ah! Wanzi, it turns out you're awake~"

Wanzi's eyes were dull, and he sat down at the table as if he were sleepwalking, resting his chin on the table.

"What are you doing?"

"Our reward order is out~"

Luffy excitedly put the latest reward order in front of Maruko and laughed.

"My bounty is already 100 million Beli!"

"Not bad, not bad." Maruko patted Luffy on the shoulder encouragingly, "Keep up the good work!"

"That bastard!" Nami slammed her 600 million beli reward on the table.

"When Weiwei and I went out for a walk, that guy obviously meant to take photos, but he dared to lie to me!!"

Usopp held up his 1000 million bounty order and proudly announced: "I finally have my own bounty order. I wonder if Keya has seen it."

Chopper tried hard to hold up his bounty order: "I, I, I, I also have 10 Baileys!"

Chopper: "Zoron, what about you?"

"8000 million Baileys." Zoro replied calmly, his eyes burning with a strong desire to win. This amount is not enough for him!

Chopper opened his mouth in surprise: "Wow, that's amazing! Apart from Luffy, Zoro's bounty is the highest!"

Zoro shook his head: "Maruko-chan is taller than me, Sanji doesn't know that yet."

"I'm taller than you?!" Wanzi pointed at himself in surprise.

"No way. I feel like I didn't do anything in Alabasta this time. I just protected Vivi and controlled the people in Baroque Studio. Even Crocodile was not defeated by me."

"I think an increase of about 30 to 40 million Baileys is enough!"

Nami silently handed Maruko's latest reward order to her.

"What, isn't this still 1000 million Baileys? You guys scare me like this, hahaha!" Wanzi let out a sigh of relief and looked at everyone helplessly.

"Wanzi, count the zeros," Nami reminded with a look on her face.

"One, two, seven, eight?!" All the drowsiness in Wanzi was frightened away at this moment, and he counted it again in disbelief.

"Eight zeros? One hundred million beli?"

"No way, did the guys who issued the wanted order from the Navy have their brains caught in the door? This is too outrageous!" Wanzi scratched his hair frantically, "What on earth were they thinking? Did I do something I don't know about? Is it? Second personality? Sleepwalking? "

After a minute, Wanzi calmed down and said with a sad expression: "Everyone, I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling."

Luffy laughed loudly and patted Wanzi's weak shoulder: "What does it matter? As a pirate, the higher the reward, the better!"

"By the way Sanji, we are all wanted, where is your reward order?" Luffy asked curiously.

Usopp raised his hand and suggested: "Let's put the reward notice on the wall of the room. I want to keep it as a souvenir!"

Chopper nodded: "Yeah, I want to save it and show it to Dr. Dori later!"

Zoro: "I don't care."

Luffy: "I——"

"No, I don't agree!" Sanji's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and he silently returned to the stove and started serving rice.

"Eat three meals a day on time. Stop discussing. Come and eat quickly!"

Usopp: "Hey, Sanji, what's wrong with you?"

Sauron suddenly became interested: "It's not because the bounty is lower than mine, so you're unhappy~"

"You're so wordy, shut up and eat!" Sanji placed a large bowl of rice directly in Zoro's mouth.

Just in time, a piece of paper fell out of Sanji's body and slowly landed at Chopper's feet.

"What is this?" Chopper bent down and picked up the piece of paper. "Hahaha, this guy looks so weird, he's also called Sanji."

Usopp also came over: "But it seems that he and Sanji still look a bit similar!"

Zoro inadvertently turned his head and happened to see the paper in their hands: "Isn't this Sanji's reward order?"

"Look, there is a line of small words below." Maruko read softly, "Members of the Straw Hat Pirates are only allowed to be captured alive."

The next moment, four pairs of piercing eyes looked at Sanji, and then—he burst into earth-shattering laughter.

Maruko: "Hahaha - why is the navy so funny? Why is there such a wanted notice? Can we find someone like this? Is there really anyone who looks like this? Hahaha!"

Zoro: "Pfft - it turns out your bounty is really lower than mine, well ~ 3700 million beli, there is still room for improvement. And your bounty looks much better than mine, hahaha, you probably are The first hand-painted bounty order produced by the Navy!"

"Sanji? Is this Sanji?" Luffy laughed until he rolled on the spot, "They all look like Sanji, why is the reward order so funny? Haha!"

Usopp: "Hey, you face-blind guy, you don't need to express your feelings."

Sanji held a pan in one hand and a shovel in the other, looking at everyone with a faint red light in his eyes.

"It looks like everyone is very energetic!"

"How about stir-fried vegetables for your next meal? Stew greens, spinach, and cabbage."

"I just purchased bitter melon in Alabasta and I'm wondering how to make it? Do you like the stir-fried bitter melon with meat?"

Everyone's expressions changed immediately and they sat upright in their chairs. Even Luffy covered his mouth severely to control his emotions.

At the critical moment, Nami stood up again and changed the subject.

"Wanzi, look at today's newspaper. The Navy is going to hold the "First Author Contest"!"

"Nani? Why is the Navy suddenly holding this?"

Why does it feel like today’s Navy is so out of line with common sense?

Nami handed the newspaper to Maruko to read.

Right next to the news about the failure of the Yonko Big Mom marriage, a special section was dedicated to introduce the "First Author Contest".

[Cooperated by the Navy and World News Service, the competition is open to everyone around the world and is divided into three rounds.

The first round is free creation without a theme, with a word limit of 30,000 words.

Regardless of identity, age, race or gender, all interested people can submit articles to World News. Those who sign up for the competition only need to put their manuscripts in the Newsbird backpack that delivers newspapers daily to be considered as participating in the competition.

The first round of entries lasts for half a month. The editors of World News will make an internal selection and select the best 100 nominations. The nominated works and creators will be announced in the newspaper.

World News Agency will also produce a hundred nominated works as an "Amway Works Collection" for sale, and the nominated authors can receive part of the dividends.

The second round is the creation of a designated theme. The theme is "Praising the Navy's Style", and the word limit is also 30,000 words.

When the results of the first round are announced, the second round begins. The second round of writing takes only three days, but top authors are encouraged to start preparing from the first round. After the deadline, those who fail to submit their submissions will be deemed to have given up the competition.

In the second round of works, World News will produce an "Excellent Special Issue" newspaper for sale. In the second round, a public selection method will be used to vote for one or more works that you support.

For each "Excellent Special Issue" purchased, you will receive a voting voucher. The voting voucher is exclusively issued by World News. If there is any fraud, not only will the validity of the voting voucher be cancelled, but ten votes will be deducted from the work supported by the voting voucher.

The ten works with the highest votes were shortlisted for the finals.

For the ten shortlisted works, World News will separately produce a hardcover version of the "Highly Recommended Works Collection" for sale, and the shortlisted authors will also receive dividends.

The third round of the finals will be held live at the "City of Seven Waters" on the Grand Route.

The finals will be broadcast live, and ten authors will perform on the spot according to designated requirements. In the end, five professional editors, five employers, and one hundred live viewers voted to determine the final winner.

Bravely pursue your dreams and live up to your time, you will be the next literary superstar! The world's first author competition is waiting for you! 】

"Huh -" Maruko let out a long breath, "I want to get to know the people behind this competition."

"World News is indeed a monopoly in the press industry. This planning and marketing are amazing!"

Nami held her chin with her right hand: "Who says it's not the case? With so much money, they will definitely make a fortune!"

Several boys looked confused: "What are you talking about? Why are you making so much money?"

Nami held Maruko's hand with both hands: "Maruko-chan, although you can't eat meat, you can still drink soup. You can participate! Go and get the championship back!"

Wanzi nodded vigorously: "Not only will I participate myself, I will also let my brother participate!"

"Your brother?" Nami was puzzled, "When did Maruko-chan have a brother?"

Wanzi shook his head, with an incomprehensible expression: "You don't understand, this is called a cunning rabbit's three burrows."

"Ninjutsu Wood Release - Mu Fen | Body Technique!"

"Ninja method - transformation technique!"

Not only did Wanzi transform into a clone that looked exactly like him, but he also transformed himself into a handsome young man with black hair and blue eyes. This boy looked absolutely nothing like Wanzi.

Maruko, who transformed into a young man, said: "During the process of participating in the author competition, the avatar was me, and I am my long-lost brother Senju Genko!"

"Uchiha Maruko's pen name is Sanshiki, and Senju Genko's pen name is - Gomi!"

"As expected of Teacher Sanse, you are so resourceful!" A mature female voice sounded, her tone was unhurried and easy to catch people's ears.

"Hahaha, blah blah blah, it's mainly organized by the Navy, so it's always good to be careful." The voice seemed a bit familiar, and Wanzi didn't think much about it, scratching his head in embarrassment and laughing.

But Sauron drew his sword instantly, stopped in front of everyone, and squeezed out a name from his mouth: "msallsunday!"

"Robin?" Maruko's eyes widened in surprise, "Didn't you leave with Sabo?"

Robin smiled and shook his head, speaking in a friendly tone: "I am used to freedom, and I would rather wander on the sea. And as a historian, the archaeological process always has to be personally involved to be interesting, right?"

"so--"

Robin sat elegantly across the table and smiled softly: "Can I join you?"
