【Eagle Red】Lifetime

The veteran gossip weekly SailorBuddyShow has recently encountered a great difficulty. A semi-monthly magazine of the same type called OnePieceMagazine has only published two issues, and it has greatly seized the share that originally belonged to SBS.Mr. GFabricate, who was hired as the editor-in-chief of SBS not long ago, was overwhelmed by this as soon as he took office.

"I have inquired through reliable channels." At this moment, Mr. Faber was holding his chin solemnly, and the end of the quill pen held by his fingertips was brushing the tip of his nose. He suddenly felt itchy in his nasal cavity and couldn't help it. Sneezed, and sorted out his thoughts for a while, "The reason why OPM magazine became popular is because they exclusively invited the legendary Mr. Ome as a guest. After all, it is Mr. Ome..."

"Mr. Ome? Is that the great prophet who predicted the future by breaking the fourth wall?"

Mr. Faber glanced at the editor-in-charge who spoke approvingly, "That's right, that's him. Since the beginning of the era of great pirates, none of the things that Mr. Ome predicted have ever come true, and he is more powerful than Ms. Xiali from Fishman Island." The big prophet. It’s just that he doesn’t know the beginning and the end, and he rarely accepts interviews, and he hasn’t left any video materials. I’ve seen a lot of publications under the guise of Mr. Ome as a gimmick, but OPM this time, maybe it’s true I have invited the deity..."

"Actually, I don't even know what breaking the fourth wall Dafa is." The editor in charge spread his hands, "Is he really that amazing?"

Mr. Faber sneezed again, and finally dropped the quill in his hand belatedly, "That's not important, our SBS can't emulate OPM, so we need a brand new project to save our own weekly newspaper. Come on, let's talk freely, it's time for brainstorming." He clapped his hands, frowning and woke up two editors who were about to fall asleep.

A few days later, an advertising leaflet mixed in various newspapers spread all over the entire Great Airway——SailorBuddyShow, an old-fashioned weekly entertainment newspaper loved by people all over the world, is about to hold a super-large popularity poll, starting from the era of great pirates Since then, all intelligent creatures that have lived or have lived in the four seas and the great sea routes are eligible to be nominated. The next three SailorBuddyShows will come with blank ballots, and the weekly magazine will announce the top [-] votes in one month. luxury list.

"It's time to express our love for idols!" This slogan was printed on the flyer in a large size. Pirates can also participate with confidence.

"I believe this will be a successful plan!" Mr. Faber said confidently, rubbing his hand on the Vol.

Somewhere along the great route, a pirate ship named "Advance Luffy Senpai" is bustling with activity, and the green-haired captain is crying with excitement.

"The time to contribute to Senior Luffy has finally come!" Bartolomio clenched his fists, "Brothers, quickly use all the money exchanged for Senior Luffy's merchandise to buy SBS! We must send One Piece to On the throne of number one!"

"yeah!"

"Don't forget to also fill in Zoro-senpai, Sanji-senpai, Nami-senpai...every Straw Hat Pirates' seniors! How can One Piece have no partners?!"

"Wow!"

"Senior Luffy's brothers and allies should also vote! All those who partner with the Straw Hat Pirates are doing well!"

"Yes!"

"Don't forget in the end!" Bartolomeo stretched out his hand, pointing to the pirate flag hanging high on the island he just left, "Senior Luffy's idol! Senior Shanks must also On the list! Senior Luffy will definitely be more happy!"

"Yeah! Long live the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Let's mobilize the residents of the next island to vote together!"

……

Three and a half weeks later.

Mr. Faber frowned at the list submitted by the editor, "Why do the members of the Straw Hat Pirates get so many votes?" He asked puzzled.

"Maybe...they organized a collective fan vote?" He got an uncertain answer.

"The rest of the list is still expected... Wait, who is No. 40 No. [-] Farafra?"

"I don't know him. Most of his votes come from the Kingdom of Albastan, and there are quite a few people in the Kingdom of Albastan who voted for the Straw Hats."

"Our part-time contributor, Pandaren, is also on the list."

"That's right, Ome-san from OPM also got a lot of votes."

"..."

"Mr. Farber, what are you thinking?"

"The newspapers sold well in the past three weeks, and this week must be very good. The Straw Hat Pirates' full summit will definitely trigger great discussions..."

"Should we lower the number of votes for the Straw Hats as a whole? Will it be considered that SBS is siding with them if it is published like this?"

This question caused the editor-in-chief of SBS to ponder for a while, but finally, Mr. Faber shook his head, "No, there will definitely be fan groups of other celebrities who are dissatisfied with this result. Face back..."

"However, we can make another big news," he smiled, picked up the quill, looked around for a few times, and finally crossed out a name in the front row, "remove this one, and put the one behind People will mention one in turn..."

This action made the editor who witnessed the whole process tremble, "Why... is it him?"

"Because..." Mr. Faber looked thoughtfully at the sample booklet of "One Piece" Vol.3 in hand, "I believe that the disappearance of this person will cause a sensation, and the person involved will not come to trouble us."

"Haha, I remembered, even if it was the article "The Four Emperors and the Qiwuhai..."" The editor who had reviewed this manuscript couldn't help but omitted the words after that, and asked curiously, "Then why not another article?" One? The ranking is even higher."

"Compared with a boatload of people, of course you have to choose one person," Mr. Faber said confidently. "Generally speaking, no one will be particularly emphatic about the latter."

After half a week.

"I really care..." Shanks pushed the wine barrel aside, threw the newspaper that Jesus handed over with a smile on the table, spread it out completely, and read it carefully up and down twice.

"Luffy is number one, boss, what is your reaction?" Jesus Bu was a little puzzled, but couldn't help but add, "Look, look, No. 15 is my son!".

"Congratulations..." The red-haired pirate didn't look up, "but..."

"Don't look for it, what kind of look is this? You are No. 11, and Beckman is No. 54. They both deserve their names!"

"But...why is there no Hawkeye?" Shanks gave up looking, looked up at his sniper, "Can you believe it? Hawkeye isn't on this list."

"What?" Jesus pulled back the newspaper and read it carefully again, "Really...is it?"

"Forget it..." Shanks waved his wrist, "It's just an unreliable vote..."

"The boss doesn't want to send a copy to Hawkeye to watch his excitement this time?" The fat man who had been watching didn't think it was a big deal.

"What's the point of posting this? It's just a boring vote." Shanks immediately opened his eyes wide, pulled the newspaper back, and rubbed it with one hand. "Don't worry about it."

Lackey and Jesus looked at each other. "The maritime postal system won't serve pirates like us." Jesus Bu murmured again, but the red-haired pirate seemed to be in a daze, and didn't even pick up the glass full of rum at hand immediately. .

Locke Star, who was on duty that night, said that the lights in the boss's tent were abnormally on for half the night, and he didn't know why the boss didn't fall asleep until the early morning.

With his hands behind his back, Mr. Faber looked at the mountain of replies about the results of the popularity vote brought back by the newspaper delivery bird in front of him. The editor roughly divided them into several categories, among which the two highest piles were the ones that questioned the Straw Hats. Why did one guy get such a high number of votes, while the other group questioned why the world's number one swordsman, Hawkeye, Joe Rachel Mihawk, was not on the list.

Mr. Faber calculated very well. After this week, there will be a major holiday in the country where the SBS newspaper is located. SBS will be closed for one week as usual. After one and a half weeks, he can publish the statement and apology he has already prepared. The words of the newspaper expressed that the counting of votes by the newspaper is accurate and rigorous, and hard work for idols will be rewarded. Just like Monkey D Luffy who reached the top this time, his fans must have attached great importance to this vote and participated enthusiastically... As for mistakes, there are indeed some One, that is that the great swordsman Hawkeye was originally No.20, and this needs to be seriously apologized to the readers.He believes that in every corner of the world, many eyes will be paying attention and looking forward to such a statement.This time, the appetite of readers has been whetted, and the presence of SBS Weekly will definitely be improved for a while.

Mr. Faber showed an inscrutable smile in his imagination. He took out a letter and read it roughly. The ugly handwriting was full of enthusiasm for the Straw Hats' high ranking, and he also mentioned inexplicably " Grandmother in my hometown".

"We can select a few passages from readers' letters." He threw the letter paper aside, walked to the front of another pile, and pulled out a piece of crumpled paper. "We will make a comprehensive analysis of the voting results and discuss Take a look at the hidden meaning behind the people's votes..."

His words suddenly stopped, his face turned pale instantly, and the hand holding the letter trembled.The editor who sorted out the letters behind him didn't know why, so he leaned over and concentrated on identifying the crooked content on the letter paper:

Dear SBS Editorial Office:

I was very happy to see some of my favorite names in the popular vote column published in this issue of SBS Weekly.But I want to ask, why is Hawkeye not on the list?As far as I know, Mihawk is a very personable swordsman, generous and considerate, very funny, although occasionally he can play a little narrow-minded, and he is very good at tricking people... But overall, he is a very good person, I don't know what to say about him, but I think he should be on the list.

Also: I can't use my dominant hand, so the writing is ugly. I hope you can understand this letter.

From: A Puzzled Reader

"When I was traveling in the New World, one of my favorite places to visit was the Life Card Shop, because there are many signatures of famous people there, they are very useful, and when necessary, some news and evidence can even be forged... ..." Mr. Faber murmured with absent-minded eyes, and he suddenly grabbed the hand of the editor beside him, "Quick! Hurry up and send out the account! Correct that Hawkeye is No. 22 in the popularity poll! Don't delay for a moment! Hurry up! !"

The editor was stunned by the icy fingertips of the editor-in-chief, "Don't wait until the next issue of the weekly magazine? It will increase the budget cost..."

"This is no longer the time to worry about costs! If you don't want to be troubled by one of the most famous big pirates in the world..." Mr. Faber suddenly stopped, and thoughtfully said to himself, "I might... ...he really wrote the truth of a fact..."

Mihawk took off the straw hat on his head, put the hoe aside, and took the extra newspaper from the smiling little girl, and then he heard the little girl's gleeful voice: "You will be killed by the whole world. I'm paying attention..."

In the laughter of "He Luo He Luo" going away, he unfolded the account, and saw "22 Chora Kermi Hawks" published in the eye-catching initials on it, and a very huge " I'm sorry," Mihawk frowned. He has read newspapers for decades, and he has never seen such a poorly typed extra.

After reading all the content, the world's number one swordsman felt bored and handed the very eye-catching account card to the baboons who were farming beside him, and let a few baboons jump up and tear it up excitedly.He thought for a moment, then walked towards the castle.

In the mailbox outside the door, Mihawk found the latest issue of SBS Weekly, which he often left aside although he was still subscribing. He quickly scanned the long list of popular votes, and the second place was is a familiar name.He unknowingly stretched his brows, and then fixed his eyes on No.11.

What a boring vote, the world's number one swordsman finally thought.He found the scissors, neatly cut out a small part of the newspaper, and pasted it into a collection of newspaper clippings as usual.
