Chapter 307: Big News and Teach!
"Eh—"
In the office building belonging to the Proclamation Government Institute within the World Government New Headquarters.
A Human-form White Bird wearing a Black Top Hat with a Red Feather stuck in it sat slumped in his Workstation Cubicle, sighing with his Golden Beak wide open. He paid no attention to the files on the Small Table.
He was Morgans, who just a few days ago was the renowned King of Intelligence in the Underworld and the President of the World Economic Journal. Now, he was just a small Clerk in the Propaganda Department News Agency.
As for the World Economic Journal, it had, of course, been taken over entirely, but it was said that the distribution of the World Economic Journal would not be affected, and everything would continue as usual.
If there was anything else worth mentioning, it was probably that he was actually a Human.
He was just an Ability User who had eaten the Animal System, Bird-Bird Fruit, Albatross Form. Compared to his Human Form, he preferred to live his daily life in his Beast-Human Form.
He was truly frustrated with his current Plight and had been sighing constantly these past few days.
But what could he do? He chose to accept the World Government's recruitment when faced with a Death Threat.
However, when it came to News Work that he couldn't control and whose content he couldn't decide, Morgans still held a Resistance Mentality.
He still couldn't understand why BIG MOM would obey the World Government's Order, even going so far as to sell out the entire Underworld.
"Little bird, the Warden is calling you!"
Just then, a Colleague walked over and shouted at him, which greatly displeased Morgans. "I'm not a little bird! Call me by my Name! Don't you have any manners!"
"Heh heh~"
The other person laughed dismissively.
Morgans glared at him angrily, then Stand Up and strode towards the Warden's Office, pushing the door open and entering with his Wing-like Hand.
"Alright, what is it?"
Perhaps accustomed to being a Big Shot, he was impolite even when facing his Direct Superior. Without waiting for the Warden to speak, he sat down in a chair.
Fortunately, the Warden of the Press Agency didn't mind. The staff below might not recognize Morgans, but he certainly did.
"The higher-ups have decided that you will be responsible for the Front Page Headline and Homepage Copy for the next issue. Here are the Related Information, take a look!"
Seeing his Superior push a Document towards him, Morgans frowned and reluctantly picked it up. However, as he opened the first page and quickly scanned the Content, his Pupils trembled violently.
This made him immediately perk up his Spirit and carefully read the Content.
"The World Government wants to designate all the Countries and Islands in the Whole World as Affiliated Countries? But the Heavenly Tribute can start being paid after the next Reverie..."
Just as Morgans was marveling at the Grand Gesture and flipping to the second page, his giant, long Beak suddenly dropped open in shock. He felt as though his Three Views had been shattered by the Content!
"My god, not only BIG MOM, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, World Destroyer, and Chinjao have joined the World Government? And Kaido, Bullet, Crocodile..."
"What!"
"BIG MOM's Totto Land Kingdom is affiliating with the World Government and getting a Seat at the Reverie?"
"Whitebeard wants to Found a Nation? And affiliate with the World Government? And also get a Seat at the Reverie? Has this World gone mad, or have I gone mad?"
In other words, from now on, there is no Underworld, no Yonko!
What happened? Why?
"I heard you really like making Big News. Is this News big enough?" The somewhat plump Warden of the Press Agency said with a smile like a Maitreya Buddha.
Morgans fell silent. He knew that if he accepted this Mission, it would mean abandoning his principles, and he would truly become the World Government's 'Lackey' from now on.
But this News was so big and round, it was too appealing, wasn't it?
A day later, tens of thousands of News Coos, carrying stacks of still-warm Newspapers on their Chests, flew out in all directions from the Top of the Red Line. The scene was quite spectacular, like a Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers.
Soon.
Thanks to the diligent efforts of these News Coos, the latest issues of the World Economic Journal appeared in the hands of countless people.
The first to get their hands on them were certainly the Kingdoms and Islands on the Grand Line.
In the First Half, in the Alabasta Kingdom, the young King Cobra sat on the Throne in the Main Hall with a serious Expression, holding the Newspaper he had just finished reading.
His Gaze looked towards Mary Geoise, his heart filled with complicated and heavy feelings.
Global Affiliation, and successfully recruiting those Great Pirates. Although he didn't know what the World Government was planning to do, one thing was certain: the World Government's Prestige would reach its absolute peak in the World.
Would this be a good thing?
At the same time.
As the Newspaper's spread range grew wider, Exclamations soared one after another on various Islands.
It was like a Mental Shockwave that kept expanding, sweeping across the Major Seas.
"'Whitebeard', 'Golden Lion', 'BIG MOM' have surrendered to the World Government!"
"The Yonko of the 'New World' have been swept away!"
"Byrnndi World has become an Army General?"
Clearly, compared to Global Affiliation, the Recruitment of these Great Pirates was more eye-catching to the people. This was also the Effect the Propaganda Department wanted to achieve.
Using the Popularity of 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate and the others to suppress the Discussion Frequency of Global Affiliation, allowing it to Transition Completion naturally.
As long as the majority of the Citizens didn't have large-scale Resistance and Opposition, then the Royalty and Nobility alone wouldn't be able to cause any Waves.
Even if there were, they could be 'replaced' at any time!
In the New World, the Whitebeard Pirates had returned to Peach Blossom Spring Island. They had been notified that Administrative Officials and Construction Teams from the World Government would arrive soon.
The former's Mission was to teach them how to manage a Kingdom, while the latter would build some Kingdom Essential Buildings and Facilities.
"Now This Old Man has completely lost face. From now on, there will be no more 'Whitebeard', the World's Strongest, only the King of the Whitebeard Kingdom who chose to bow his head..."
Edward Newgate lay on a patch of lush Grass Court, feeling depressed. The latest Newspaper was placed beside him.
Marco and the others in the distance saw their Old Man like this and didn't want to disturb him.
"Damn it, how could he do this? How could he just be recruited like that?"
In the crowd, Marshall D. Teach slightly lowered his head to hide his angry Gaze. If the Whitebeard Pirates were gone and no longer adventuring, where would he find the opportunity to get the Dark-Dark Fruit?
"No, I can't waste time here. I must find a way to leave this place."
He had actually considered how low the possibility was of finding a Devil Fruit somewhere in the vast sea, the Infinite World. It might be better to honestly stay here and be a 'Good Son' for the rest of his life.
But the unwillingness in his Heart was so painful!
If it were like before, Voyage while waiting, he would have nothing to say. But now they were completely staying in one place.
So he wanted to leave. He really had no interest in playing any Nation building game.
However, an unexpected event occurred again.
When the World Government's Fleet arrived at Peach Blossom Spring Island, the High-Ranking Official leading the Fleet first introduced the various upcoming Nation Building Plans to Edward Newgate and his 'Sons'.
Finally.
He suddenly looked at Teach, who was standing behind the crowd, looking unhappy.
"We heard that Mr. Teach's Physique is quite special, and he doesn't need to sleep every day. Therefore, the Medical Academy wants to give Mr. Teach a Full Body Examination to see if they can cure this Symptom of his."
"This..."
Edward Newgate, Marco, Jozu, and the others were stunned. All their Gazes focused on Teach. They had actually known for a long time that his Body was an Anomaly.
Being watched so intensely by so many people, Teach felt very uncomfortable. For years, he had kept a low profile, not contending or snatching anything, not seeking attention, but now he suddenly became the Focus.
However, he quickly reacted, greatly rejoicing in his Heart. Wasn't this an opportunity to leave?
"Teach, you decide for yourself. Do you want to get examined..."
After hesitating for a moment, Edward Newgate decided to give the Right to Choose to his Son.
"Old Man, I agree!"
Marshall D. Teach answered loudly, then put on a surprised look and smiled, "I haven't wanted to live like this, unable to sleep, for a long time. If it can really be cured, then I'll be a Normal Human like everyone else!"
But what he was thinking in his Heart was that once he got on the World Government's Official Ship, he would find a way to leave, whether by sneaking away, jumping into the sea, or forceful departure, anything would do.
However, around six in the afternoon, Teach, carrying his Package, arrived at the Dock with his 'Partners' Seeing Off him harmoniously and happily, ready to board the Ship. There, he saw a familiar Marine Officer standing on board.
At this time, the High-Ranking Official introduced them.
"Next, Vice Admiral 'Aokiji' will be responsible for the Escort. You should all recognize him, right? He is a Navy Admiral Candidate and can absolutely guarantee Mr. Teach's Safety throughout the journey!"
Teach: "..."
