Chapter 288 A story of a man's anger for a woman

After Vivi ate the Sand-Sand Fruit, Ning Yuan no longer needed to handle the rest; he could simply be a quiet, handsome man.

Moreover, if he were to follow Weiwei, it would be somewhat of an overstepping of his authority, since they are not married yet!

The rebels might not even recognize him as a prince.

Therefore, the original plan for Ning Yuan and Weiwei to subdue the rebels together was changed to Weiwei setting off alone.

Fortunately, Alabasta is a desert country, and users of the Sand-Sand Fruit are practically invincible in this environment.

However, he didn't sit idle. He first wrote the manuscript and sent it to Morgans. Then he helped Robin establish the organizational structure of the Kingdom Intelligence Agency, improved the charter for building the Alabasta Army, and also formulated a development plan for Alabasta for the next two years.

To be fair, Robin is an exceptional talent in internal affairs; he wouldn't be wronged to be prime minister.

Moreover, the Flower Fruit is also well-suited for domestic affairs talent, as she can simultaneously reach out and look at dozens or even hundreds of documents while making comments.

Baroque Works was less of a Crocodile organization and more of a creation of Robin.

This work group seems a bit weak, even somewhat comical.

But in reality, this organization is already terrifying.

In less than ten years since its founding, this organization has had nine Devil Fruit users besides Crocodile and Robin, with both core and grassroots members, and even has a good talent recruitment mechanism and profit-making methods.

If you only look at this point, you can't see how powerful Robin's abilities are.

Then you'll know the difference if you compare him to Doflamingo next door.

Doflamingo started his career in the North Sea, founding his family at the age of 6, and it has been 33 years since then.

Over 33 years, the Donquixote Family had a total of 13 Devil Fruit users, with virtually no lower- or middle-level power, and no talent admission mechanism or recruitment methods.

Compared to the Baroque Works, the Don Quixote Family was practically a makeshift operation.

It's important to understand that the resources the two possess are completely different. Doflamingo was born a Celestial Dragon and became a king, with his subordinates selling weapons and ammunition everywhere. In short, he has both manpower and money.

Robin, on the other hand, was born into a commoner family and only had the title of Shichibukai. When she started her business, she was all alone and didn't even have any followers. She can be described as starting from scratch!

Is Doflamingo a piece of trash?

Obviously not. In terms of strength, methods, and political maneuvering, he is already above average in this world.

If Doflamingo isn't weak, then it can only be that Robin is too strong, a true talent fit for a king!

Such talented people definitely need more responsibilities. For example, Ning Yuan should be in charge of formulating development plans, and Robin should be in charge of execution. This way, Ning Yuan will have time to go out and have fun!

The draft was completed quickly, and then faxed using a fax machine. In less than half an hour, it was in Morgans' hands.

Morgans actually already had news of Crocodile's death, but he didn't rush to release it.

Firstly, he lacked complete information and was unaware of many situations.

Secondly, he saw that the person who killed Crocodile was Ning Yuan, and he even received photos of Ning Yuan taken by other reporters.

Ning Yuan himself is a reporter, so he will definitely pass on the whole story.

If he doesn't wear it, he should at least call to explain why, since Ning Yuan, as a reporter, should be well aware of the power of public opinion.

Here it is, the manuscript has arrived!

"So long!" That was Morgans' first impression.

Eight pages, 600 words per page, that's about five thousand words!

"The handwriting is still so beautiful, and the writing style is so elegant!" Morgans lay comfortably on the recliner, reading Ning Yuan's manuscripts was always a pleasure.

Not only is his writing excellent, but his handwriting is also very beautiful, unlike many journalists whose handwriting looks like a dog's crawl.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do. The world of One Piece was rife with illiteracy and had a low literacy rate, while the educated were almost always descendants of nobles or officials.

Top talents all go to become government officials; why would they want to be journalists?

The first half of the manuscript seems to be Ning Yuan's autobiography.

Now he understands why Ning Yuan has such excellent writing skills and beautiful handwriting.

It turns out he was originally a printing factory worker, and from a young age he read a lot of literary works and books, and his handwriting was learned by copying model characters.

Because of his rich cultural knowledge and beautiful handwriting, he quickly left his worker status and became a proofreader in a printing factory.

At 18, a year ago, Ning Yuan, who was still working, received devastating news: due to the lack of rain for years, the printing factory's production costs had skyrocketed, making it unable to continue operating and leading to its closure.

Ning Yuan thought he could easily find another job with his abilities and knowledge, but the reduction in water supply affected not only this industry, but all aspects of the city.

Even the street sweepers couldn't continue sweeping.

Left with no other choice, Ning Yuan had to leave for distant lands.

After drifting at sea for more than half a year with his savings, Ning Yuan discovered that the journalism industry was good; one could make money by writing articles, and Ning Yuan himself was good at writing articles.

So he began searching the world for news, until he heard in the East Blue that a pirate crew called Arlong had been captured, and Ning Yuan finally produced his first article.

After Ning Yuan arrived in Luoge Town, he published a second and a third article, and his journalism career flourished.

However, things changed after he returned to the Grand Line via the Reverse Mountain.

He encountered Nefertari D. Vivi, the princess of his own kingdom, who had infiltrated Baroque Works.

Ning Yuan had long heard of Weiwei's reputation for loving the people, not to mention that Weiwei was also very beautiful.

In the manuscript, Ning Yuan described Weiwei as: graceful as a startled swan, agile as flowing clouds, a sea spirit, an Alabasta goddess.

Naturally, Ning Yuan fell in love with the princess at first sight.

After learning the reason why Weiwei went undercover, Ning Yuan was furious, because the reason he lost his job was because it wasn't raining in the city.

Only now did he realize that the culprit was Crocodile.

At this moment, for the princess's sake, and for his own, Ning Yuan decided to assassinate Crocodile.

The two then secretly returned to Yu Yan, and after a thorough investigation, Ning Yuan determined the assassination route.

Today, after learning that pirates were lurking in the port, Ning Yuan realized that the opportunity to assassinate them had arrived!

He put on his most tattered clothes, disguised himself as a young man who would do anything for fame, and then blocked Crocodile's only way out. With a bullet filled with salt crystals, he killed Crocodile with a single shot!

In the end, the crowd cheered, and the boy and the princess kissed.

"Hiss!" Morgans flicked his feathers and realized he had finished reading when there was no next page.

As for how you felt after watching it?

It was exhilarating and exhilarating.

And some little sweet moments?

This doesn't sound like a press release; it sounds more like a story of someone risking everything for a woman, and the ending perfectly matches people's expectations.

That is a longing for a better life and a better love.

All of this is reflected in this manuscript.

This article is not newsworthy at all, because it is not objective at all, but rather full of words that try to manipulate public sentiment.

For example, the devastated lives of the people when everyone in the city was unemployed, Princess Vivi's beauty and resilience, and the repression and tension she felt while undercover.

All these emotions combined will transform into one ultimate emotion: hatred for the culprit Crocodile!

But in Morgans' view, this was an excellent manuscript, the best it could be!

After all, Morgans has never had any journalistic ethics.

Moreover, this manuscript has a story, a love story, a conflict, and beauty.

It could not only boost Morgans' sales, but it also has the potential to become a famous story or a classic.

It might even be adapted into songs, operas, novels, and movies, passed down forever, and forever engraved in the cultural genes of everyone in this world!

If this article is not published, it's not the reporter's loss, but the loss of the World Economic Herald!

"Publish it! Publish it without changing a single word! And it has to be a supplement!" Morgans slammed his fist on the table excitedly. "Someone, add this article to today's edition, front page, headline! Start the printing presses immediately, print as many as you want, no need to wait until tomorrow!"

"That's it!" Morgans thought for a moment and decided to revise the manuscript.

Of course, it's not about changing the content, but changing the title.

The original title was: The whole story of Crocodile's death.

It wasn't the kind of shocking style Ning Yuan used to love, but it was shocking enough that it involved the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

However, such a beautiful story is somewhat spoiled by this title.

Morgans extracted a sentence from Ning Yuan's manuscript and added it to the original title.

An hour later, a brand new, still-warm newspaper landed in the hands of the Five Elders.

This is a story of a man's rage for a woman: The whole story of Crocodile's death.

"What the hell?!" Izanbaron V. Nassjuro, the financial martial god holding his sword, squinted. "Has the World Economic Daily run out of news to report? Why are they starting to report on love stories now, and it's even a special edition??"

"Wait!" the Science Defense Warrior beside him suddenly asked, "Who is Crocodile?"

"Crocodile, that sand crocodile?" Marcus Mazs, the environmental warrior, prompted.

The establishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was several years ago. The Five Elders have a lot of things to do every day, so they really can't remember the names of some of the less prominent Warlords.

The previous reports about Jinbe specifically mentioned him as a Shichibukai (Shichibukai) in the headline.

When only Crocodile was mentioned, several people didn't immediately realize it!

"So, he's dead?" Izambalon V. Nassuro's face darkened.

No matter how little they valued Crocodile, he was still one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea appointed by the World Government.

How could a dignified Shichibukai be killed like this?

This is a slap in the face to the Five Elders!

However, not knowing the whole story, Izambaron V. Nassuro Sei didn't rush to get angry, but continued to read on.

"Ning Yuan?" The main text of the manuscript made no mention of Crocodile, but instead talked about the growth history of a person named Ning Yuan.

"What is this again?" Izambaron V. Nassuro was speechless. I am one of the Five Elders, I have a lot of things to do every day, can you please stop wasting my time by writing this kind of nonsense?

However, Ning Yuan's writing was so good that he was able to read even the most mundane content.

It wasn't until he saw Ning Yuan switch careers to journalism and write his first article that Izambaron V. Nassshuro realized what was going on.

"The one who pointed out Jinbe's intention to usurp the throne was actually him?"

He glanced back at the author of the article, Zhiyuan.

"It really is one person!" Izanbaron V. Nassjuro nodded and continued reading.

"Conqueror's Haki, Luck, Backstage King!" Izambaron V. Nassshuro was speechless. It turned out that these terms were invented by this reporter.

To be honest, it's quite interesting.

Then it describes how the reporter rescued a woman in distress at the beach, and after chatting with her, Ning Yuan learned that she was actually a princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta!

"Vivi!" Izanbaron V. Nassshuro thought for a moment. He seemed to have seen this little girl before, but it was a long time ago.

She's grown up! I never expected her to be so beautiful now.

Or is it that this reporter has simply not seen enough beautiful women?

But why would a princess of a nation go undercover in a criminal organization?

"I see!" Continuing to read, Izambaron V. Nassshuro Sei realized why Vivi had gone undercover and who the main villain of this article was.

Crocodile!

As you can tell from the title, Crocodile ultimately died.

But here's the problem: Crocodile is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and a Logia-type Devil Fruit user. You two are a printing factory worker and a princess, so even if you're not completely helpless, you probably don't have much strength.

So the question is, how exactly do we kill him?

The article described Crocodile as too terrifying, like a desert emperor, to the point that even the Five Elders began to worry about Ning Yuan and Vivi.

Until Ning Yuan offered his opinion.

Logia-type Devil Fruit users, relying on their Logia-type abilities, don't care about attacks from weaker individuals.

If my attack can kill a Logia-type Devil Fruit user in one hit, then there is a possibility of killing Crocodile.

He found a crystal in the sea, polished it into bullets, changed his beautiful clothes into a dirty sailor uniform, and finally ambushed Crocodile on his inevitable route.

"Bang!" Izambaron V. Nassshuro slammed his hand on the table: "Well done!"

"This child is really clever; how did he come up with such a method?"

The other five elders nodded in agreement: "That's right, if it were me, I definitely wouldn't have come up with such a good idea!"

"It seems that Logia-type Devil Fruit users do have this problem, including the three admirals. If someone were to shoot them with a gun loaded with Seastone bullets, they might not necessarily dodge!"

"So none of us ate Logia-type Devil Fruits!"

"Yeah, natural-type foods, even dogs wouldn't eat them!"

"Hahahaha!" Laughter immediately filled the hall.

Under Ning Yuan's powerful persuasive writing, the Five Elders had unknowingly sided with Ning Yuan and Vivi, and naturally began to regard Crocodile as the villain.

So much so that after reading the article, none of the Five Elders thought Ning Yuan's killing was wrong!
