Great Voyage: Luffy’s voyage is revealed at the beginning Chapter 014

Chapter 14: Headquarters Quota

On the news ship, Ling Long was writing furiously, quickly penning down the headline: “Shocking! Because He Was Loved, Two Brothers Loved and Hated Each Other.”

Looking at the headline, Nami’s eyes twitched involuntarily. She thought, wasn’t it just about Buggy and Shanks?

How did “he” appear again?

And what the hell was “loved him”?

Two men fell in love with one man? And then the two men turned against each other?

This was outrageous, could it be any more absurd?

Ling Long noticed Nami’s odd expression and smiled, “Don’t mind it, this headline is just to attract attention.”

“Mhm.”

Nami nodded unnaturally, silently standing aside and quietly watching Ling Long write the news.

Time slowly passed. As Ling Long continued to write, lines of characters leaped onto the paper, and Nami’s expression grew increasingly strange.

Half an hour later, when Ling Long put down his pen, Nami finally couldn’t help but ask, “Ling Long, does that Buggy have a grudge against you?”

Ling Long stretched lazily and smiled, “No, today was my first time meeting Buggy, how could there be a grudge?”

Nami’s expression grew even stranger, and she said speechlessly, “No grudge? If this news gets published, even if Buggy doesn’t die, he’ll only be able to hide and flee from now on.”

It was at this moment that Nami truly understood what it meant for a pen to kill. This Buggy was truly going to be miserable.

However, this Ling Long was too insidious, wasn’t he?

He had unknowingly dug so many pits for Buggy, and Buggy had fallen into all of them. This guy was truly beyond help.

While transmitting the news back to the branch office, Ling Long said, “Based on what Buggy did in Orange Town, I have no psychological burden in messing with him.”

“That’s true.”

Nami nodded in agreement and smiled, “Once this news is out, Buggy should be on the run, and Orange Town will return to peace.”

“Perhaps…” Ling Long smiled and asked, “Nami, how long will it take us to get to Syrup Village?”

“We’ll arrive tomorrow. Is there big news there too?”

“There’s a…”

Before Ling Long could finish speaking, the Den Den Mushi rang. As soon as he picked up the call, he heard Editor-in-Chief Sta’s excited voice:

“Ling Long, is, is this news of yours real?” Editor-in-Chief Sta tried his best to keep his voice calm, but he couldn’t hide his excitement.

Ling Long revealed a faint smile and said, “It’s real. I just came out of Orange Town. Buggy is there, and didn’t I already send back the recording?”

Ling Long had indeed sent back the recording, but it was a “carefully” edited recording.

“Good, good, I truly didn’t misjudge you, Ling Long. I want to recommend this news of yours to the headquarters.”

“Alright, then I’ll trouble the Editor-in-Chief.”

“No trouble, no trouble at all. Ling Long, do you have any intention of working at the headquarters?”

Ling Long’s eyes lit up slightly, and he asked in surprise, “Editor-in-Chief, aren’t this year’s recommendation slots already full?”

“Hmph, there were three old geezers who dared to secretly sell slots. They’ve been… In short, there are still three slots, and I can apply for one for you.”

“Alright, then thank you very much, Editor-in-Chief Sta.”

…

After hanging up the phone, Nami’s eyes slightly turned, and she smiled, “Congratulations, Ling Long, you’re about to start working at the headquarters.”

“Mhm, I’ll trouble you then. I don’t want to take the headquarters’ ship.”

Ling Long had long decided that he would go to the headquarters alone, collecting various news along the way, and become a great swordsman before entering the New World!

“You’re going to the headquarters by yourself? Didn’t you say the headquarters is in the New World?” Nami was a little surprised that Ling Long planned to go to the New World by himself.

Ling Long nodded, looking directly into Nami’s eyes, and said seriously, “Nami, will you accompany me to the ends of the world?”

Nami rolled her eyes. Was this pervert flirting with her?

“I’m your navigator. If you’re going to the ends of the world, I naturally have to follow.”

“Hahahaha, then I’ll leave it to you.”

…

Early the next morning, countless news birds took off from all over the world, carrying newspapers to every corner, and the news on them shocked countless people.

In Orange Town, just as dawn broke, Buggy was already at the harbor, hands behind his back, pacing back and forth on the road.

Although anxious inside, he appeared very calm on the surface.

A pirate yawned, rubbed his red eyes, and said, “Captain Buggy, there are still a few hours until the news birds arrive in Orange Town. How about we go back and rest first?”

A cool sea breeze blew, and a pirate shivered, agreeing, “Yeah, Captain Buggy, how about we go back to sleep first? It’ll be the same if we come back later.”

“Captain Buggy, you’ve been waiting here since yesterday afternoon. For the sake of your health, I hope you can go back and get some good rest.”

“Yeah, Captain, rest a bit.”

“Captain Buggy, you’re an apprentice on the Pirate King’s ship, you must take care of your body.”

The pirates all started to persuade Captain Buggy. Even if Captain Buggy wasn’t tired, they were tired, hungry, and sleepy.

After the World Economic News reporter left yesterday, Captain Buggy called everyone to the harbor, saying he wanted to see his news immediately.

At first, no one cared much, but soon, everyone regretted it, because they hadn’t brought any food or drink, and Captain Buggy wouldn’t even let them sleep.

He said, “If the Captain isn’t sleeping, where do you get the guts to sleep?”

So, a group of people shivered, squatting at the harbor, enduring hunger and cold, not even allowed to sleep, only able to look at the eastern sea with red eyes, hoping the sun would rise soon.

“Rest?”

Buggy glanced at his subordinates, smiled coldly, and said, “Alright, whoever wants to close their eyes permanently, I’ll let them sleep enough.”

“Hiss~”

Everyone shivered, so scared that their sleepiness vanished, and they all shook their heads in refusal.
