Annan opened the newspaper, quickly scanned the first page of reports, and said:
"The writing is pretty good, not as exaggerated as last time."
Since it publishes second-hand information from internal navy newspapers, the content is relatively realistic.
The content of the first edition is to copy the second-hand information intact.
However, what makes Annan speechless is that the title of "Naval Rising Star" is not a nonsense made by private newspapers, but the name given to him by the Warring States Marshal in the Navy's year-end summary report. The original text is:
"During this year, many new people emerged in the Navy. They are the new blood injected into the Navy and the future of the Navy. Among them, Major August Annan of the Navy has performed particularly well. He has been promoted to the Navy in just two months after entering the Navy.
He played a decisive role in the battle to annihilate the Imperial Pirates, and can be described as a new star in the navy..."
Annan raised his head and looked at Esdeath, "Isn't this the Navy's year-end report that is reprinted every year? How could it make me completely famous?"
"This is a temporary publication, please turn to the third page." Esdeath cut the grilled fish into small pieces and fed it to Little A, "Don't worry, read slowly, you are all written on it." p>
"Huh?"
Annan opened the third page, and the title clearly read:
"The new star of the navy kills the great pirate who has a bounty of 640 million beli."
"Fuck!"
There are three photos printed on the front page. One is a photo of Annan cutting off a tsunami with a sword, which shows his profile, and the other is a photo of him and Liwa confronting each other at sea, with only his back.
The small text under the photo states that the person who took the photo is an ordinary citizen who was rescued, but the source is official from the Navy.
The third photo is a bit strange. It was at the port of the Navy Headquarters. In the photo, Annan was standing on the deck of the Iceman, and the warship was clearly photographed.
There is no source information and no photographer, which means that the third photo was taken secretly.
Although the photos are very clear, it doesn’t matter, the content is also written in great detail.
Height and weight, age, family status, great swordsman, Devil Fruit user, Zefa’s last student.
None?
There are all of them.
The newspaper devoted the entire third page to dusting off Annan’s information.
Nowadays, everyone in the sea knows a naval man named August Annan. He is 1.95 meters tall and weighs 85 kilograms. He is a great swordsman, a capable person, Zefa's last student, and an orphan.
In Annan's previous life, this situation had a corresponding term called "opening the box."
"It's done."
After reading, Annan closed the newspaper expressionlessly.
"Open the box and join the society to die. Tomorrow I will ask Kuromi to 3D print a coffin for me and then lie in it."
Tired, destroy it.
"Don't rush into the coffin yet. Besides." Esdeath leaned back and leaned on the chair.
"There are no ads in the newspaper this time."
"It seems to be true." Annan flipped through the newspaper again, and there was indeed no advertisement on it, "What's wrong?"
"Regularly published newspapers and periodicals are temporarily compiled and printed by various newspapers in order to report to readers in a timely manner the major news and special events that occur during the period between the previous issue and the next issue.
”
Esdeath said while raising three fingers.
"This kind of newspaper has three characteristics."
"First, just like the reward order, the newspaper delivery gull will release it for free on a large scale."
"Two, it is not included in the original newspaper number."
"Third, in order to win the favor of the public, advertisements will not be published in newspapers."
After speaking, Esdeath shook the newspaper in his hand and said, "The newspaper we are holding now has no number on it."
"Both the second and third points are consistent, which means..." Annan realized a terrifying scene, "Large-scale advertising, headline-grabbing, and announcement of my strength, coupled with my photos, how can this
It’s a newspaper, it’s clearly a reward for a pirate.”
"Correct answer." Esdeath said with a smile, "You will become a popular navy on the sea at this stage, and you will be a rookie navy who will become famous immediately."
"Do you know what this means?" Esdeath stood up and leaned forward, approaching Annan's eyes, grabbing his shoulders with both hands and pulling him back hard.
The two looked at each other almost nose to nose.
Annan saw the long-lost excitement in her ice-blue eyes.
"This means that countless people will come to challenge you in the future, trying to prove themselves through you. These people may be pirates, pirate hunters, or officials of the navy or the world government. Of course,
Most of them are weak and incompetent people."
"But!"
Esdeath shook Annan violently.
"Those really powerful people also know that there is a new star in the navy like you. Now your photos are all over the sea. Whenever they meet you, they either want to know whether you are the same as what is said in the newspaper, or they are simply unhappy with you.
I want to kill you."
"These powerful people will come to you, so I can fight them."
Esdeath made no secret of her inner excitement, caressing Annan's cheek with her white palms, looking at him as if she were looking at a treasure.
"Quack——quack——"
A flock of newspaper gulls flew over Rogge Town.
Newspapers fell to the square like snowflakes.
After a while, someone was holding a newspaper and pointing at Annan not far away. People around the dessert shop had already started to watch Annan.
"We can't stay in this place anymore." Annan took off the hat on Esdeath's head and said, "Lend it to me. Let's go back to the naval base to avoid the limelight."
