I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Oh? What big news? You're planning to give us an exclusive interview?"

Morgans sounded excited on the other end of the phone.

"No, I have a lot of juicy scoops, all big news and big secrets."

"However, I'm afraid that such big news will have too much impact and your news agency won't dare to publish it."

"Sig said."

These words immediately filled Morgan with longing.

As a news king, he craves all the big stories, the bigger the better, but he also asked somewhat cautiously:

"Is the big news you're talking about related to the World Government? Or to those sea emperors?"

“Neither,” Sieg said softly.

Upon hearing this, Morgan on the other end of the phone immediately became bolder.

"As a media professional, it is my mission and pursuit to report the truth to the public. How could I possibly be afraid of the powerful and wealthy and dare not speak out?"

"Sieg, if you have any big secrets, you can tell me."

"Then I'll tell you..."

Sieg's expression was a half-smile.

"This matter is related to the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Hawkeye Mihawk."

"Huh? Could this be related to your duel in Loguetown?" Morgan was immediately surprised.

Although the duel in Loguetown is known to all, the exact outcome is still debated.

If Sieg is planning to reveal the truth about that duel, that would indeed be big news!

"This... does have something to do with the duel, but I'm afraid you won't dare to publish it in the newspaper."

Sig said seriously.

“Mr. Sieg, please do not question the ethics of us journalists,” Morgans said seriously.

"Okay, then I'll just get straight to the point."

A smile appeared on Sieg's lips.

"Hawkeye Mihawk has a small boat that he has always used to travel the seas, and he has even crossed the Calm Belt."

"So here's the question."

"Hawkeye's ship has no oars and no one else on it. What powers him to sail the seas?"

Sieg posed a question.

"...Without oars, how can we rely on the waves?" Morgans replied, somewhat puzzled.

"No, I can tell you that Hawkeye once crossed the Calm Belt alone in a boat. There are no waves in that kind of hellhole."

Morgans remained silent.

"Let me remind you again, although Hawkeye doesn't have an oar, he does carry a very large black knife..."

"So, do you dare to publish it in the newspaper?"

On the other end of the phone, Morgans was speechless.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are all lawless individuals, and the consequences of provoking them are not good.

Especially this Hawkeye Mihawk.

If such news were published, the news agency's headquarters might be blown up by Hawkeye in a few days.

"I'm not forcing you to publish such sensational news, I just want to show that I have a lot of juicy material."

Sieg smiled slightly.

Hawkeye's bombshell revelations were just talk; he didn't really intend to expose them.

If this gets exposed, he'll probably be targeted by Hawkeye again.

Chapter 163 Shocking! Doflamingo's True Colors!

Through the Den Den Mushi, Sieg and Morgans had an in-depth discussion.

Sieg knows a lot of things, but most of his secrets involve some big shots.

Revealing it rashly is like revealing Hawkeye's bombshell—it's suicidal.

Therefore, what Siegfried needs to do is not to continue to drop bombshells, but to reveal some information that is not so dangerous, but extremely attractive.

Morgans grew increasingly silent on the other end of the phone.

The big news he had been searching for was all coming out of the man on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, which gave him the creeps.

Morgans, a media mogul and a kingpin of the underworld, possessed a comprehensive intelligence network, but everything Sieg said shocked him.

"You mean, you want to become a columnist for our World Economic Herald, so that our newspaper can have a special column to publish your juicy scoops or other articles?"

Morgans considered for a moment, then shook his head and rejected Sieg's suggestion.

"The World Economic Herald is a serious, world-class newspaper, while your sensational reports are closer to dubious gossip, rumors, and tabloid tidbits... This doesn't align with the World Economic Herald's positioning, so please allow me to refuse, however..."

"Perhaps we could have another way of collaborating..."

Morgans pondered for a moment.

With Morgans' keen sense of news, he naturally knew how sensational Sieg's news was, making it difficult to refuse to cooperate with Sieg.

But if we were to actually cooperate... the risks would be too great; it could backfire.

He then spoke up and proposed a compromise:

“We can join forces and create a new special issue in your name.”

"Content is provided by you."

"Sales, promotion, distribution channels, etc., will be handled by our World Economic News Agency."

"How about we split the profits 50/50?"

“A good suggestion.” Sig nodded with pleasure.

This sounds more plausible than him becoming a columnist or something.

This not only connects them with Morgans, but also helps them establish a strong brand for the special issue.

Profitability is secondary.

In this world, newspapers cost 100 Berries each, which is incredibly cheap. To accumulate 100 million Berries from them, you'd probably have to sell millions of newspapers.

"I've already thought of a name, let's call it 'Tieba Gazette'."

"Sig said."

After a period of discussion, both parties finalized the details of the cooperation.

The newsletter on Tieba is mainly handled by the news agency branch of Wanwudao.

To this end, the news agency's Wanwu Island branch even established a special department.

Shocking News Department.

A few hours later.

The inaugural issue of the Baidu Tieba newsletter is now available!

The branch editor-in-chief broke out in a cold sweat the moment he saw the sample copy.

"Mr. Sig, are you serious?"

“Of course I’m serious.” Sieg chuckled and patted the middle-aged gentleman on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I, Sieg, will take full responsibility for the consequences of this newspaper's publication. I've already discussed it with Morgans, so you don't need to worry about it."

"Your World Economic News Agency doesn't need to worry about being threatened by that guy Doflamingo."

"If something happens, come find me."

Sig said indifferently, as if he didn't take Doflamingo seriously.

The first issue of the Baidu Tieba tabloid is no small matter; Sig needs a sensational story to make a name for itself.

From the moment Higuma mentioned the Celestial Dragons' national treasure and the "Another Piece" in Loguetown, his conflict with Doflamingo was already irreconcilable, destined to be a fight to the death.

Even if Sigurd didn't release the newspaper and begged for mercy in front of Doflamingo, he would never be forgiven.

We'll have to face each other sooner or later, so why not test the waters now?

Sieg wasn't afraid at all.

...............

Day two.

Newsbirds, with their global reach, deliver the day's newspapers to all corners of the world.

On that day, the World Economic Herald featured a headline that caught the eye.

Shocking! The Man Behind the Queen of Pleasure Street

"What? There's a man behind the Queen of Pleasure Street? This is blatant objectification! Tears welled up in my eyes..."

"Huh? The real owner of Pleasure Street is actually Sieg, who became famous not long ago?"

"When did he quietly take control of the entertainment district...?"

"So he was the mastermind behind the entertainment district! This guy is no ordinary person!"

This news deeply moved many people.

But then they noticed that Newsbird also carried another tabloid.

"A tabloid? What a strange name. Does such a small newspaper cost 100 Berries?"

The Baidu Tieba Gazette is just a small newspaper with limited content.

But when they saw the headline on the front page, countless people were deeply attracted.
