Daily life as a writer in the world of pirates

["Lieutenant General, the young master has been at sea for three years!" The soldier strode into the Lieutenant General's office and respectfully reported.

"Then has he given up being a pirate?" the old man known as Lieutenant General asked seriously.

"No, the young master has become the heir of the Four Emperors!" The soldier replied with a cold sweat on his face, under the authority of the lieutenant general. 】

Sickenni's body, which had been lying leisurely on the seat, suddenly sat up straight. The three sentences at the beginning of this article immediately caught Sickennie's attention.

Sickenen couldn't wait to read on. There were very few articles in this world that could be called "stories". Even if there were a few articles, they were heroic stories about justice triumphing over evil. You could tell the ending after reading the beginning. This was the first time for Sickenni to see such a dramatic story with ups and downs, full of conflicts and contradictions.

The conflict is explained at the beginning of this story. The protagonist is a young man who loves freedom and adventure and yearns for the sea. He has hoped to go to sea and form his own pirate group since he was a child; but the protagonist's grandfather is a rigid and stubborn navy vice admiral who firmly opposes it. The boy's dream, for this reason, he not only threw the boy to primitive jungles, abyss cliffs, sea areas with swarms of sea beasts and other places for training, but also sent his subordinates to monitor the boy at all times, and smashed all the boats that the boy secretly prepared to go to sea.

Even after experiencing so many setbacks, the young man did not give up. Instead, he continued to battle wits and courage with his grandfather, and accumulated strength for his journey to sea despite countless setbacks.

Sikken couldn't help but think of his dream when he was young. At that time, he was determined to be a journalist who dared to report the truth. He did not hesitate to put himself in danger many times, go deep into the center of the incident, or focus on the suffering of ordinary people. , insisting on fighting for the rights of the people. Unfortunately, in the end, his report was not published truthfully, but was whitewashed by the upper-class nobles. In the end, he became disheartened and came to Donghai to retire.

The only thing that made him feel less immersive was that the boy's dream was to become a pirate, which made Sickenni very confused about the author's intention. Until he read this sentence.

[My grandfather angrily questioned: "Why do you want to be one of those evil pirates?"

The young man's eyes were clear and he asked firmly: "The children of nobles will still be nobles, the sons of the navy must become navy, and the sons of pirates can only become pirates. Is this all destined?"

"Does the nobility have to be noble? The navy has to be just? Does the pirate have to be evil? I just want to take risks with my friends, so why do you directly conclude that I must be evil!"]

The boy's voice was deafening, and it also awakened the reality that Sickenni had been unwilling to face. For journalists like them, they know many secrets that ordinary people don't know. The boy's words may seem simple, but behind them they seem to be directed at those above - the Celestial Dragons!

Ordinary newspapers would not dare to publish an article like this, but he knew there was someone who could! And even without this sentence, the storyline of this article is definitely attractive enough. Sicken calmed down his turbulent heart and dialed the number that he had not contacted for many years.

"Hello - Morgans, I'm Sikkeny." Sikkeny's tone seemed calm, but in fact he couldn't hide his excitement.

Morgans, nicknamed "Big News", is in charge of the world's largest newspaper publishing company - World Economic News. He is a person who is keen on reporting big news. He insists on reporting what he thinks needs to be reported, and will never be ignored. Anyone can buy it.

Morgans's joking voice came from the snail phone: "Hound Sicken - has the keenest sense of smell for events. We haven't contacted you for a long time. Why did you call me suddenly?"

Sickenney got straight to the point: "I have an article here, and I will pass it on to you now. Please call me back after you read it."

As soon as Sickenen finished speaking, he hung up the phone and sent the three photos to Morgans' number. The waiting time is always long. Sickenen walked around and suddenly remembered that this article was sent by Vickers' photo snail. He immediately returned to the table and called Vickers.

"Hello - Editor-in-Chief? Do you have anything to do with me?" Velikos asked doubtfully.

"Today, your photo snail sent me an article. Who wrote it? From what I know about you, it's definitely not written by you yourself!" Sickenni has a quick temper. As soon as he answered the phone, Just ask straight away.

"Ah," Vel'Koz reacted for a while before suddenly remembering that he seemed to have forgotten to change the transmission number for Maruko's photo snail, and the result was that it was sent directly to the editor's snail by default.

Vickers explained honestly: "It's the photo I sent you before. The girl's name is Uchiha Maruko-san. She wants to write something and let me be her exclusive editor. But editor-in-chief, don't worry, I will never influence it. I work for a newspaper!"

"No!" Sickenni refused directly, "You don't have to follow the incident anymore."

Vel'Koz was immediately shocked. Did the editor-in-chief decide to fire him because he thought he was taking a private job? No--

"You come back immediately. I will appoint you to be the exclusive editor of this Uchiha Maruko-chan, specifically responsible for communicating with her on matters related to writing and distribution." Sickenni believes that he has some eyes for people. Such a person with huge potential has great potential. The author with thoughtful writing fell into their hands. How could he let it go? He must make this person feel the warmth of the newspaper office like spring.

Vickers never expected that what Uchiha Maruko said about becoming a writer was not a joke, and he had already sent it within a few days. It seemed that the editor had taken a fancy to him. He immediately took the nearest merchant ship to prepare to return. Branch in Rogue Town.

As soon as the phone call between Sickenni and Vickers ended, a call came from Morgans over there. The first three chapters of Maruko only have a total of more than 10,000 words, and Morgans read them in just a few minutes.

"What about the rest of the story? How did the boy named Feier end up going to sea without telling his grandfather?" Morgans skipped the pleasantries and asked directly.

Sicken showed the same tired smile: "Sorry, there are only so many, and we haven't received the rest of the content!" Not to mention Morgans, even he wanted to know the plot behind it. Only 10,000 words have been written about the battle of wits and courage between Phil and his grandfather Feip, and it has not yet written about Phil going to sea.

Morgans thought for a while and said: "Sikenny, for the sake of my old friend, I am willing to take a risk for you. Starting tomorrow, I will open a small section on the last page of the newspaper for serialization. This story will be serialized in three days according to His rhythm. But you know how many readers there are of the News of the World, so I must see the next story within three days at the latest. Do you understand?"

Sickenni understood the weight of Morgans' words. The News of the World is not a single newspaper, but a bundle of five or six newspapers. Major events that happen around the world every day are reported on it. Every Behind the small page are the movements of tens of thousands of people. At least 80% of the tens of billions of people in the world subscribe to such a newspaper every day.

Sickenni replied solemnly: "Don't worry, we probably know her movements, and we will definitely contact her within three days."

"By the way, what is the pen name of the author of this story? It will need to be published in the newspaper at that time." Morgans suddenly asked.

Sickenni had just thought of this. He knew the girl's real name, but he didn't know if the girl would be willing to use her real name as a pen name. He had to temporarily reply to Morgans: "Sorry, I'll wait for this later. I’ll get back to you.”

After hanging up the phone, Sickenni thought for a while, wrote a sentence on a white paper, took a photo and sent it to Wanzi.

[Hello, Ms. Maruko, I am Nishi Kenny, the editor-in-chief of the Donghai Branch of World News Service. Congratulations that your article has been accepted by the headquarters. I wonder if you would like to use your real name as a pen name? 】

Sickenen didn't wait long. After about ten minutes, a line of sharp handwriting came back through the photo.

[Pen name - Three Colors. 】

As an Uchiha, the powerful genes in her body make her like sweets, especially the three-color meatballs made by her grandma, which were her favorite, so when she thought of a pen name, she immediately thought of this.

However, the four words "three-color meatballs" are really too reminiscent of Nuo Nuo desserts. As an aloof author (in her own opinion), she felt that it would be more bluffing to give a name that was unclear and harsh, so she simply named it Remove the last two words.

The call wasn't over yet. After settling the pen name issue, he immediately raised new questions.

[I wonder when the follow-up to Teacher Sanse’s article will be sent? 】

Wanzi thought for a moment. He seemed to be quite calm while sailing on the sea recently, so he should have time to write.

[I’m not busy recently, so I’ll try to update every day. I'll send it to you every three days. 】

When Sickenni saw the word "Day Watch", the smile on his lips couldn't stop rising. He quickly tried to control himself and shamelessly pushed further.

[Teacher Sanse, readers are looking forward to your work! Moreover, this article was published in the "World Economic News", which has the largest sales volume in the world. The president of our headquarters requires the editor to keep the article for at least three days! So do you think you can post it once a day? 】

Regardless of whether the headquarters has such a request, Sikkeni has now said that it must be done even if it is not available. In order to see Feier's follow-up in time, Sickennie decided to sell the president without hesitation.

[That’s it, okay. Then I’ll send it to you tomorrow morning! 】

yes! Sickennie waved his right arm heavily in the office and praised himself for his wit. If he waits another day, he can see Feier's follow-up, hahaha!

[By the way, if Teacher Sanse goes to the next island, I suggest you buy a phone snail. From now on, Vel'Koz will be your exclusive editor. No matter what the matter is, you can contact him. Our society will definitely do our best. We will do our best to meet your needs! 】
