Each Gets What They Need

"If we can't reach an agreement..."

As he spoke, Kuta's face darkened. "You know that."

"We can talk to each other, we can talk to each other, we definitely can talk to each other."

Firebird looked at Kuta and her face turned pale.

"Our editor-in-chief specifically instructed us reporters to follow you closely and take lots of pictures! Anyone who gets a photo of you will not only receive a bonus, but also a promotion."

"Then hurry up!"

Kuta was getting impatient looking at the Firebird.

Anyone would be unhappy if they were treated like that!

Besides, the person who thinks he's that kind of person is such an ugly bastard.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!!"

"What are you thinking! Even a handsome man won't do."

This is an action-packed anime, not a BL romance!

Firebird looked at Kuta with an impatient expression and quickly pulled out a red...

Den Den Mushi (a type of Den Den Mushi).

He opened the cover, and the fiery red Den Den Mushi's drooping head instantly snapped back to reality.

He then reached out and pinched the lever next to the back of the Den Den Mushi and shook it a few times. The Den Den Mushi dialed the number amidst a series of "beep beep" sounds.

"Is this Den Den Mushi? How amazing!"

Den Den Mushi are very rare in the Four Blues; their Isshin Dojo doesn't have a single one.

So this was the first time Kuta had ever seen someone so close to him since he was a child.

"Once we've settled things with Big News Morgans, we absolutely have to make sure he sends him a few."

We can install a Den Den Den Mushi) on the ship to play videos, turning it into a movie theater.

That way it won't be so boring.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the World Economy News Paper, even in the dark of night, the lights were still on, and countless people News Coo were coming and going.

In the President's Office, Big News Morgans had just finished writing a news article and was now reclining in his chair, drinking Coffee and resting.

Just then...

"Brubrub..."

The Den Den Mushi) in front of him suddenly rang.

Big News Morgans slowly put down his Coffee, gracefully took a napkin, wiped his lips, and then reached for the receiver on the Den Den Mushi.

"Moshi Moshi! This is the World Economy News Paper, President Big News Morgans."

"Greetings, President! I am Firebird Vance."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing it was Firebird, Big News Morgans immediately sat up straight. "Is there more news about Silver Hair?"

"President."

Bass Island.

Firebird glanced cautiously at Kuta and said into the Den Den Mushi, "Silver Hair, Silver Hair - Kuta, he's right beside me."

"What did you say?"

Big News Morgans was startled.

"I said the Silver Hair brother is right beside me."

Seeing that the call had connected, Kuta quickly stepped forward, took the Den Den Mushi from Firebird's hand, held it up to his eyes, stared into the Den Den Mushi's eyes, and spoke.

"I suppose the person opposite me is the Daimyo 'Big News Morgans,' one of the emperors of the Underworld!"

Big News Morgans looked at the Den Den Mushi's head and suddenly it changed, especially its pair of Azure eyes.

He suddenly became excited.

"Silver Hair Kuta".

Yes, that's me.

"So it seems you're looking for me, not the Firebird."

Big News Morgans looked at the Den Den Mushi with interest in his eyes.

"Hey! What can I do for you?"

Chapter 26 Each Gets What They Need

As he spoke, he leaned back in his chair, a smile playing on his lips.

Since it was Kuta took the initiative to contact him, he must have something he wanted his help with, otherwise these Pirates wouldn't call him so easily!

Kuta stared at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, his eyes narrowing.

He's being too optimistic. Judging from the guy's tone, it seems like he knows he needs something from him.

As expected of someone in the news industry, just from the fact that he made the phone call first, I knew a lot about the situation.

He shouldn't have made that call so hastily.

Since the other side also wants to follow him, he might as well wait until this guy contacts him; that way, he might be able to get more benefits.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Let's fight then!

He can wait, but Bass can't. Even if the other party wants to follow him, they might not necessarily report on Bass's affairs.

Compared to the Grand Line, where Big News Morgans is constantly breaking, what happened in the Bass Kingdom three years ago was actually nothing.

The Bass Kingdom is just a small country with tens of thousands of people; it's not worth Big News Morgans making an enemy of the World Government.

If it were a large country like the Alabasta Kingdom, the situation would be different.

Even if it were a god, let alone the World Government, it's unlikely they could keep these Newspaper Office silent!

With that in mind, he didn't want to waste any more words and went straight to the point.

"I'd like to make a deal with President Morgans."

"A transaction?"

"Right."

Big News Morgans picked up his Coffee, took a leisurely sip, and looked at the Den Den Mushi.

"Tell me about it!"

"What happened in the Bass Kingdom three years ago, especially the Celestial Dragons —I want your newspapers to publish this entire story."

"Gah gah gah gah!! Matters concerning the Celestial Dragons are no small matter!"

Big News Morgans, holding his Coffee, chuckled softly at the Den Den Mushi.

"And what happened three years ago in the Bass Kingdom."

"Um..."

Kuta's lips curled up, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Don't tell me you don't know.

"Of course I know, but... why should I report it!"

"That's the deal we're making today. As long as you report on Bass, I can allow you to take close-up photos of me in the future."

Kuta stared into the Den Den Mushi's eyes, suddenly unleashing an overwhelming aura that seemed to shoot into Big News Morgans' eyes through the Den Den Mushi.

He said softly, "And I can guarantee that I will definitely be the World's Strongest in the future."

Big News Morgans tensed up under the intense gaze of the Den Den Mushi, then a look of extreme excitement appeared on his face.

His hand trembled, and he dropped his Coffee. He stood up, laughed loudly, and quickly made a decision.

"Gaga gaga gaga!!"

"Okay, I agree."

He believed in Kuta's potential; even if he couldn't become the strongest, he would definitely become famous in the New World. Such a person was worth cooperating with.

Exclusive news about important figures isn't so easy to get your hands on.

If their Newspaper Office could portray the Silver Hair- haired man as a Four Emperors Sea), that would be far more pleasing to him than news about a minor Pirates!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

But remembering that the person on the other end was still listening, she quickly covered her mouth.

Hehehehe...

Now is not the time to get carried away.

"Phew~"

Kuta breathed a sigh of relief without showing any emotion. It was always best to be careful when dealing with these old foxes, even though it seemed like he was in control.

That's not entirely true, because he does need the other person.

Only when the events in Bass become known to the world will Bass Island truly be safe.

Otherwise, even if he saves the Bass Kingdom, it will still become a paradise of war once he leaves.

Because this is not the New World; this is the first half of the Grand Line, which is relatively well controlled by the Navy and the World Government.

Not only is the Marine Headquarters located here, but there are also numerous Marine Branch, and even World Government agents are present on every island.

They could destroy a small country in a very short time.

Here you go!

Kuta returned the Den Den Mushi to Firebird, yawned, and disappeared.

"I'm going back to sleep now. I hope that news from Bass will spread throughout the Sea in the next few days, along with my message."

"Okay, goodnight, Silver Hair brother."

Firebird took the Den Den Mushi, stared at the empty rooftop, and paused for a moment in surprise.

Then, speaking into the Den Den Mushi, he said, "President, what should I do next?"

"From now on, you'll specialize in photographing Silver Hair!"

"I'll assign you a filming team, and you'll be the Team Leader from now on."

The Den Den Mushi paused for a moment, then continued, "Following someone is fine, but you have to be careful. Important people are unpredictable; don't easily upset them!"

"Big News Morgans, battles, you can film those, but don't film everyday things. The other side isn't a celebrity, but a world-class powerhouse. Can they tolerate that?"

Filming doesn't tolerate daily surveillance!

Firebird stared at the Den Den Mushi, her face flushed, and said excitedly, "Okay, President, I'll definitely follow the Silver Hair guy closely."

"Okay! Do it well."

"Oh! By the way, boss, I just got Big News Morgans about the Silver Hair guy."

"Oh!"

Big News Morgans' expression changed drastically.

News about Silver Hair has surfaced so quickly?

No wonder he wants to be the World's Strongest Man.

"What news?"

"Just now, the Silver Hair brother clashed with the Pirate Alliance on Bass Island."

"Conflict?"
