The interview had ended, and reporter Yazhe, filled with excitement, nervousness, and anticipation, sped off on his sea motorcycle into the distance.
On the other side of Long Ring Long Land, there, Morgans had arranged for seabirds to transport his camera containing photos of the gold obtained by the Night Pirates.
The video of the interview had already been sent to the headquarters of the World Economic News via Transponder Snail).
Although the images also contained scenes of gold, these photographs were intended for publication in newspapers as important evidence. Unlike newspapers, which focus on overall composition, images are viewed in terms of quality.
These high-quality photos alone are worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of Beli.
"Lafitte, follow them, just in case anything unexpected happens." Watching the departing reporter, Teach turned to Lafitte and said.
This kind of thing doesn't need to be surprising; there are quite a few pirates on Long Ring Long Land.
Lafitte nodded, his figure flashed, he spread his wings and flew into the air, following high behind the reporter.
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the World Economic News, people were waiting, including Morgans, who had already attended the Big Mom tea party.
From the moment he assigned the reporter this task until now, not much time has actually passed. The moment the Transponder Snail was turned on, their headquarters had already received the news and knew that the reporter's mission was not far from success.
From that moment on, they had been waiting. Morgans did not inform Teach beforehand because he did not know whether Teach would agree. This journalist was, in effect, a scapegoat if he failed.
At that time, Morgans will personally call Teach to communicate. He is confident that he can get Teach to agree. It's nothing more than an exchange of benefits, some compromises, and the question of how much information about the Night Pirates will be exposed. These things can all be negotiated.
Fortunately, they agreed, which saved us some trouble.
After all, he made this promise solemnly in front of so many big shots at a tea party hosted by Big Mom. If he failed to keep his word, he would truly lose face.
"It's here! It's here!" one of the editors exclaimed excitedly upon seeing the image and the number displayed.
It's like a computer projection, showing an image that looks like a document, with a mark that only they know indicating which Transponder Snail belongs to.
Most of them are gibberish, only special Transponder Snail, such as those produced by their internal system, have special markings.
It's like the title of a video.
Just then, a nearby editor seemed to have also received the news. "The reporter's mission is complete, and the camera is being transported back by seabirds. It won't be long before it arrives."
"Hehe! Okay, let's see then. I can't wait any longer, haha." Morgans' sharp eyes gleamed as he excitedly rubbed his hands together, letting out a sound like a bird's chirp.
Maintaining Human-Beast Form for an extended period can also affect one's abilities to some extent, or rather, become a habit.
As he spoke, Morgans manipulated the buttons.
The current Transponder Snail only uses buttons to move up, down, left, and right, and an OK button to control the video; there's no mouse. This makes it a bit cumbersome to use, but only for Teach.
However, it is said that such technology is already under development, creating more convenient and multifunctional Transponder Snail).
Now, the Transponder Snail has undoubtedly become the core of all Den Den Mushi, undergoing rapid upgrades and improvements.
Open the video; the video will start playing immediately.
The interview video was short and ended quickly, but it didn't contain much information.
However, it was extremely exciting.
The existence of Golden Land has been confirmed.
The Night Pirates obtained a massive amount of gold—five small mountains of gold—that was practically blinding to their eyes.
Today, the Night Pirates have achieved a remarkable feat, stunning countless people. It's easy to imagine that this will only intensify in the future.
They were well-traveled and knowledgeable people; billions of Beli were nothing to them. But where had they ever seen so much gold?
Not to mention the Golden Bell was; how big could a bell possibly be?
With their discerning eye, although they couldn't see the true value of this gold, they could roughly estimate that it could be exchanged for at least hundreds of billions of Beli.
Hundreds of billions of Beli —that's enough to buy countless heads of sea kings.
What followed, Teach's words, made them tremble with shock and disbelief.
More than 10,000 tons of gold are buried deep beneath the seabed in the waters around Gaya Island. Compared to the amount of gold on the Night Pirates' ship, this is a true treasure.
No, this can no longer be called a treasure; it's a gold mine, a large gold mine, and this gold mine doesn't even require time to mine or refine.
All they need to do is search.
This is absolutely a huge shock; no one would let such a fortune slip by.
"Hahaha, this Big News Morgans will definitely shock the whole world! It's amazing! What will this interview make the world look like? This is going to be interesting, I can't wait!" Morgans exclaimed excitedly, his eyes shining as he watched the video and opened his arms wide.
Morgans is the kind of person who is inherently chaotic and neutral. Although he maintains neutrality in his stance, he enjoys chaos, Big News Morgans that affects the world and causes a stir around the world.
That's why, under certain circumstances he would comply with the World Government's orders, but under such news, he was willing and dared to ignore even the World Government.
That's why he dared to promote the title of "Five Emperors" to Luffy, even though the title was largely undeserved. He did it anyway, making the sea restless and chaotic, so that Big News Morgans would keep emerging.
Compared to the calm sea, Morgans yearned for chaos; he was essentially that kind of person. Therefore, he became the dark king of the world, a figure who stirred up storms across the globe.
The World Economic News wasn't like this before.
However, it was precisely because of Morgans that the World Economic News reached its peak, and it could be said that it controlled the entire news industry. It wouldn't be long before it truly controlled the entire news industry.
"Quick, quick, put everything else down and get ready for this Big News Morgans! This time, this news will definitely blow the world away!" Morgans shouted anxiously after regaining his senses, waving his fist and leading his men and the others around him to get busy.
This time, they were all full of energy; nothing felt more meaningful than creating a world-shaking Big News Morgans.
Some older people, in their fifties or sixties, felt ten years younger.
While the events at Gaya Island and Golden Land are gaining traction and spreading, what will truly ignite and shock the world is this video interview with "Dark Emperor" Teach.
Nothing is more appealing than clearly visible gold.
At this point, truth or falsehood is not important; the evidence is already laid out before them, and the mountain of gold piled up by the Night Pirates cannot lie.
More than ten thousand tons of gold—how tempting! Did "Dark Emperor" Teach need to lie? Absolutely not.
Therefore, it is true that more than 10,000 tons of gold are hidden in the waters around Gaya Island. Gaya Island will become a treasure-hunting and gold-panning land that countless people dream of.
"So, President, should we get involved with the gold on Gaya Island?" one of them asked Morgans. They felt a pang of resentment if they didn't participate and let it slip away to others.
"We're journalists, from a newspaper. Why would we get involved in such a turbulent future?" Morgans shook his head, seemingly refusing. He had already envisioned the chaotic future of Gaya Island. A large amount of gold represented a large amount of profit, and that profit would lead to a struggle among various parties. The struggle would then cause chaos. Without sufficient power, it would be difficult to gain enough profit from such chaos.
World Economic News is ultimately an intelligence organization, and in terms of strength, it is difficult for it to compete with other forces, as Morgans clearly understood.
However, changing the subject, he added, "Although we can't directly intervene, establishing a branch of the newspaper on Gaya Island is still an option." Establishing a branch would naturally involve getting involved and could yield considerable profits.
More importantly, the intelligence and news on Gaya Island are extremely valuable, and it will be a battleground for various parties, Morgans will naturally not let go of.
The interview footage was quickly edited and given a catchy title. In reality, there wasn't much to edit; the entire interview was only a few minutes long, and there wasn't much time left to cut.
Next, all that's left is to wait for the photos to arrive. As for the newspaper's layout, with so many big names in journalism, this is no problem at all, especially since such a Big News Morgans is being handled personally by Morgans.
The newspaper must be published before the video; otherwise, newspaper sales will drop after the video is broadcast.
Moreover, this isn't breaking news; it doesn't matter if it's released a few days later. The only firsthand information is in their hands!
So although they were anxious, they weren't in a hurry.
They were eager to send out the newspaper as soon as possible so that the news could be made public to the world.
There's no rush; there's no need to compromise the newspaper's quality by letting a little time slip by. These photos are absolutely crucial; this newspaper's success hinges on them.
The next morning, countless News Bird, carrying small bags filled with newspapers, flew all over the world.
At this time, the World Economic News's newspapers were still being printed at a frantic pace.
Morgans and the entire World Economic News are very confident about the newspaper's sales this time.
Regardless, the dissemination of images still has a certain impact on newspaper sales, especially after the images are broadcast, when newspaper sales will drop sharply.
However, this is also a sign of progress; the combined profits from both are far greater than those from selling newspapers alone.
At the same time, all the newspapers under the World Economic News published brand-new World Economic News Report, and the front page featured a photo of a "golden mountain" on the deck, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Adding to that the huge headline, "Shocking! Did the Night Pirates obtain the Golden Land?"
In a short period of time, the whole world quickly became abuzz with excitement, making this morning a morning that everyone was destined to pay attention to.
The news spread, waking many people who were still fast asleep from shouts from neighbors and on the street.
"Is this real? So much gold?"
"Isn't this too much?"
No one could believe it. Looking at the scene in the photo, it was undoubtedly the deck of the Night Pirates, and the gold was placed on the deck of the Night Pirates.
Several other pirate ships of the Night Pirates can also be seen. These photos were undoubtedly taken from the Lucky Goddess, the central Night Pirates.
It's quite remarkable that a reporter from the World Economic News was able to board the Night Pirates' ship.
However, most people could tell that the Night Pirates were definitely behind it; the gold on those five pirate ships was simply taken out and arranged neatly.
Otherwise, why would the Night Pirates be so bored as to leave all the gold on the deck? Wouldn't that attract unwanted attention?
This news quickly caught the attention of the Navy, the World Government, and other Great Pirate around the world.
They were very attentive to news and intelligence, and someone informed them immediately after the newspaper published the article.
However, their first thought wasn't that the Night Pirates had obtained so much gold and so much wealth.
Instead, I was wondering why the Night Pirates would release such a message through the World Economic News, and why they would reveal that they had obtained so much gold?
Was there any ulterior motive behind this?
What exactly is the Night Pirates trying to do?
Big Mom, along with the other dark figures who had attended Big Mom's tea parties, realized that Morgans' interview had been a success, and that this newspaper was just a prelude. Later, the video footage of the interview would be shown, and the footage would surely be even more shocking than the current newspaper.
"Let's see what they're up to." Rhine, the "Uranus" of the Golden Lion Pirates, smiled.
"Let's wait, there should be more to come later." Krell of the Beasts Pirates wasn't in a hurry at all, having already guessed it.
Undercurrents were stirring, and everyone was waiting. The Night Pirates wouldn't do something like this without a reason, nor would Morgans. In that case, they would just wait and see.
Sure enough, not long after, about half a day had passed since the newspaper was published.
The World Economic News, through a video link, directly released a message to all the video feeds, stating that an interview with "Dark Emperor" Teach would be broadcast an hour later, which would also include information about the secrets of the Golden Land.
The news spread around the world even faster, since compared to buying a newspaper, the Transponder Snail was right there beside you, and you could see it as soon as you turned it on.
Furthermore, the number of people who own Transponder Snail) is increasing, and they are now found all over the world.
