Chapter 262 Morgans
This resulted in newspaper sales being almost unrestricted by any weather conditions or any forces.
Whether it is the Revolutionary Army, pirates, navy, world government, or even ordinary people, they can get newspapers from it. Especially the Revolutionary Army and pirates, they can get newspapers and know the major events in the world.
It must be the contribution of the World Economic News.
Just thinking about being able to sell newspapers all over the world will reveal how huge the profits are.
Money is money, no matter where it comes from.
Because of this, in OP's closed world, information is not so closed. People from anywhere can learn about the situation at sea from newspapers. Sometimes, information is just a "weapon".
In fact, from another perspective, the newspaper seagull can also become a spy that can discover the movements of others and undertake some simple espionage work.
Therefore, the World Economic News should not only be regarded as a newspaper publisher, but also as an intelligence agency with considerable independence.
Therefore, it is reasonable that Morgans can become a big boss who straddles both the black and white worlds and is treated as a guest of honor by the aunties.
2. Morgans
This character was probably designed to fill a hole - why Roger's last words were made public, leading to the birth of the Great Pirate Era.
Originally, Roger's execution was intended to deter pirates, but once he revealed the problem of the great secret treasure, the situation changed drastically.
If the Five Elders were still smart, they should have found a way to stop the spread of the news before it was broadcast, but the whole world found out through newspapers. So the biggest suspect is naturally the only media mogul in this OP.
Judging from Morgans' two performances, money is the most important thing to him. As long as the newspaper sales are good, he will do anything.
Morgans' nickname is "Big News", which reveals that he likes to attract attention and does not care about the gains and losses. For this reason, he repeatedly offends people from the World Government. It is normal to change positions after shooting. So with this kind of personality, it is natural for him to do the above things.
There is no doubt that Morgans appeared directly in Wano Country, so they must be the first to know what Luffy did.
It can be said that Morgans has been eyeing the Straw Hat Pirates for a very long time. Calling them the Five Emperors is certainly a personal thing, but Morgans is absolutely clear that the Straw Hat Pirates have this potential.
Even Aokiji could make such a judgment, so how could Morgans ignore the reports of the Straw Hat Pirates every other day? The whereabouts of the Straw Hat Pirates may have been monitored by the World Economic Daily for a long time.
When Morgans left Wano Country, it was obvious that he believed Luffy had the qualifications to replace the Four Emperors, so naming Luffy the "Fifth Emperor" was nothing more than a marketing strategy.
However, selling newspapers was just a way to make money, and the information Morgans possessed was valuable in itself.
Judging from the fact that news is transmitted to the underground world first, Morgans will also screen the release of important information, making eye-catching information public, and trading information with added value underground.
Therefore, I have always been very suspicious of Big Mom's intelligence network. After all, how could Big Mom, who can't even find Lola, have such a large intelligence network?
Wouldn't it be easier to buy intelligence directly from the World Economic News?
But it is also an important reason why he becomes the aunt's guest of honor and is even treated friendly.
Another point is that it is a coincidence that Big Mom did not go to Wano Country earlier or later, and she walked down the waterfall after the Straw Hat Pirates successfully landed once. There is also suspicion that she was followed by people from the World News and sold information to Big Mom.
This is probably the real reason why Big Mom Pirates has such strong intelligence.
3. Flame Photographer
In this world without computers, intelligence must be obtained from real sources. Then you have to accept a terrifying fact: there are people from the World Economic News in almost every scene of OP.
So even when there were no navy or intelligence personnel present, some photos were taken, for example, the bounty orders for Sanji and Franky exposed the presence of people from the Seikei newspaper on Fish-man Island.
This passerby with a bit of a role can be regarded as a representative figure of the intelligence personnel under the World Economic Daily.
The Flame Photographer officially appeared after the Enforcement Island plot. Unfortunately, it seemed that his professional ability was not good at that time. He forgot to take off the lens cap when taking a picture, which caused a big mistake and resulted in Sanji's bounty order being hand-drawn.
4. Absalom
This person was originally a member of the Moria Pirate Group. After his abilities were exposed after the war at the top, his whereabouts became unknown.
Afterwards, he apparently used the alias "Absa" (the ship had the mark of the Terror Bark), and conveyed the news of the alliance between Kidd, Hawkins, and Apu to the newspapers.
Since the ability of transparency is very suitable for espionage, Absalom worked part-time as a reporter for the past two years. Whenever he made some money, he would go to Beehive Island to spend it.
What is very interesting is that during these two years, Moriah’s information apparently never appeared in the newspapers until Moriah ran to the Hive.
At this time, Absalom's power had been taken away by Shiryu.
Well, a reasonable explanation is that Moriah used Absalom's ability to make a deal with Morganus not to reveal his whereabouts, and after Absalom's death, the deal broke down, so Morganus no longer covered up for him.
etc etc....
It can be said that Morgans is an indispensable character in One Piece. He is also an underestimated character...
He could use intelligence to make friends with Big Mom, so he could also use intelligence to gain the friendship of other forces, or even the help of those powerful loners.
With the monstrous amount of money he earns, is it difficult to attract some powerful people who are chasing money to join his side?
After all, there are many powerful people in One Piece who are chasing after money.
Therefore, Morgans and the World Economic News in his hands are definitely not to be underestimated. Anyone who underestimates him will regret it...
Of course, this is also why Will is targeting him.
Of course, at this time, Will hadn't shown it yet. Because, with this guy's intelligence ability, once Will showed it.
There will be no chance to contact him.
at the same time.
Bruno opened a space door in the air, and everyone stuck their heads out. But when they saw that the place where the island was supposed to be was already a vast ocean.
Everyone was a little dumbfounded.
As Enel's companions, they knew that Enel was very strong. But they never expected that he was so terrifyingly strong!
And what about Kaido?
Everyone looked puzzled.
After all, in their hearts, Kaido is one of the Four Emperors and the strongest creature in the world. He is definitely a person who stands at the top of the world... So, deep down, they don't think that Enelu can defeat him by himself.
