General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 710 Morgans’ overture
"Eh? Hibari, didn't I ask you to take Yamato to bed? Why did you come to my bed again?"

The next morning, Rorschach stared blankly at Skylark, who was curled up in his arms like a cat, sleeping soundly.

At yesterday's banquet, everyone ate, drank, and chatted from five or six in the afternoon until midnight. Basically everyone was drunk and went back to sleep.

Yamato, a woman who was more straightforward than men, refused to refuse anyone who came, and drank several rounds with everyone at the drinking table. After drinking, she didn't even know who she was.

Because she had just arrived, Rorschach hadn't had time to arrange a place for her to stay, so she simply asked Skylark to take her to Skylark's room for one night.

But who knows...

Skylark murmured vaguely in his sleep, changed his position, and lay on Rorschach's spacious chest.

Her head rested on Rorschach's chin, and a few strands of her naughty long hair were blown by the morning breeze outside the window sill and rested on Rorschach's face, tickling him a little.

"Hey, it's time to wake up, lazy pig."

Seeing Yunque's cute and innocent look while sleeping, Luo Xia couldn't help but reach out and pinch her nose, trying to tease her.

"Dasqi, do you have anything to do with me?" Luo Xia asked curiously.

Seeing her shy look, Rorschach moved his index finger, and a few naughty fingers involuntarily touched Skylark's soft waist.

"Yes, it's here. My mouth smells of alcohol. If you don't believe me, Skylark can check it out."

"No, why didn't I smell it?"

"Hmph, Brother Rorschach bullied me again. I'm going to tell dad."

Dasqi looked a little dumbfounded and forgot to answer Rorschach's question for a moment. It wasn't until Rorschach asked the question for the second time that she hurriedly pushed up the glasses on her nose and said quickly: "Yes. ...It’s Morgans, the president of World Economic News. He has arrived and wants to see you.”

"No, Brother Rorschach, Yamato is still...next door."

Luo Xia felt hot all over and quickly looked away.

Luo Xia was stunned, and walked out of the bathroom with a toothbrush in her mouth. She came to the balcony on the third floor and looked down. She saw Dasqi in a snow-white military uniform, standing outside the yard and looking inside, as if she wanted to come in. Hesitating like he didn't dare to come in.

Feeling the satin-like smoothness and softness on her palms, Rorschach coughed twice and looked sideways at the room opposite the balcony.

Yunque covered her red face with the quilt, only revealing her two dark eyes and looking at Luo Xia. She hid her mouth in the quilt and muttered: "I won't sleep in the same room with her. She drank so much yesterday. I smell like alcohol all over my body. It smells terrible. Now my room probably smells like alcohol. It’s so annoying.”

"Hug...hug the grandchild?" Yunque blinked blankly at first. When he realized the logic in Rorschach's words, his pink and tender face was so embarrassed that he almost smoked, and his whole body softened. Go down.

He saw Hibari's frowning and angry expression when he looked at Yamato.

The distance between the two rooms was less than five or six meters, so there was no need for Haki to investigate. Rorschach saw the small bed filled with various dolls in Skylark's room, and the Yamato guy was lying on his back. He was sleeping with his legs hanging outside, sleeping as heavy as a dead pig, and drool was still drooling from the corners of his mouth.

"No... no, you haven't even brushed your teeth."

Skylark said weakly, and at the same time, he twisted his nephrite-like body, trying to break away from Rorschach's clutches.

Needless to say, Xiao Nizi's figure is getting better and better, and Luo Xia feels that if she continues like this, she really may not be able to bear it.

The corner of Rorschach's mouth twitched, "What do you tell your father? Tell him that we have moved in together so that he can prepare for his grandson?"

On Rorschach's chest and abdomen, you can still see many criss-crossing hideous scars, which are tyrannical wounds that even Rorschach's monster-like body cannot completely eliminate.

"Morgans? What does that birdman want with me?"

Rorschach was stunned.

Dasqi was frightened when she heard Rorschach's voice. She quickly raised her head and saw Rorschach with his upper body bare, revealing a body of solid muscles like a steel barrier.

"Lieutenant General Rorschach! Are you at home?"

Just when he entered the bathroom and began to brush his teeth and wash his face, Dasqi's call suddenly came from outside the yard downstairs.

This little girl, without saying a word, would come to me every day. Did she completely regard him as the Queen Simmons?
He looked down slightly and saw the delicate white collarbone of Skylark, as well as the valley and snow peak squeezed out from the collar of his pajamas with buttons unbuttoned.

"I can't even brush my teeth. I have to get up! I have to go to the shipyard to settle the bill today."

"Then I'll go brush my teeth. You wait here." Luo Xia stood up with a smile and walked to the bathroom.

Rorschach sat up suddenly, wrapped his two big hands around Yunque's waist, pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and opened his mouth towards her, intending to bite her.

Fortunately, Rorschach just teased her and had no intention of in-depth communication.

When she opened her sleepy eyes and saw Luo Xia's narrow eyes, she couldn't help but puffed up her cheeks angrily.

Rorschach smiled and glanced towards Skylark's own room.

"Ahem, Hibari, why didn't you sleep with Yamato?"

Skylark, whose nose was pinched and couldn't breathe smoothly, was finally forcibly awakened from his sweet sleep by Rorschach.

Morgans is the president of World Economic News, the world's leading news giant.

Taking advantage of Rorschach, the big devil, to leave, Skylark, who had briefly escaped from the clutches of the devil, quickly climbed over the balcony of the room and escaped to his room.

Skylark quickly turned away to avoid Rorschach's attack.

"Really? But, I drank a lot yesterday, and I still smell of alcohol on my body." Luo Xia said a little embarrassed.

But how is she Rorschach's opponent?
After only a few struggles, he collapsed in Rorschach's arms, biting his lips, his face as red as a ripe apple, which made people want to take a bite.

Skylark poked his head out from under the quilt, twitched his nostrils, smelled Rorschach, shook his head and said, "I'm not going to lie to you, Brother Rorschach, I really didn't smell the smell of alcohol."

At this moment, in Dasqi's eyes, the dense scars on Rorschach's body not only did not make Rorschach look ugly and scary, but instead gave the somewhat handsome Rorschach the air of a battle-hardened iron-blooded man. His demeanor makes him look more mature, stable and reliable.

"what?"

In a sense, the power he holds to manipulate public opinion can easily reverse the right and wrong of a war or a regime.

That's definitely a huge amount of power, so the world government has been trying to control him.

But Morgans has a stubborn temper and is not afraid of threats at all. In order to avoid the harassment of CP agents, he even put the news agency headquarters on a hot air balloon and traveled around the world.

Why did you take the initiative to find him now?

Rorschach didn't remember any other friendship between him and Morgans.

But soon, Dasqi answered his doubts.

"President Morgans came to see you to take some photos. He said he would use them to illustrate our navy's world recruitment news."

"World conscription?"

Rorschach suddenly realized.

Indeed, if Daschi didn't mention this, he would have almost forgotten that a few days ago, when Akainu came to power and took the position of Navy Marshal, the first Marshal's order he issued was the Navy's worldwide recruitment.

Moreover, this time's large-scale recruitment not only expanded the number of military and naval branches on a large scale, but Akainu also decisively put the recruitment model of exceptional selection on the table. In other words, in this recruitment, as long as those who are capable and have not committed too serious mistakes in the past can directly obtain high military ranks, ignoring the military merits that were highly valued in the past in the navy.

As long as you are strong enough, you can even directly surpass decades of accumulation of military exploits and become a naval admiral as soon as you join the army, standing at the pinnacle of power in the navy.

When Rorschach came to his base director's office, he saw a fat man with a bird's head and a big belly, wearing a black double-breasted leather jacket. He was holding his hands behind his back, with a curious look on his face on the office wall. Look back and forth on some hanging calligraphy and paintings.

Seeing Rorschach coming in dressed in lieutenant general's formal attire, Morgans grinned, revealing a very exaggerated smile, trotting over, stretching out two white wings shaped like palms, and shook Rorschach's hand in a very familiar manner.

"Hahaha, Lieutenant General Lan Lin, I finally meet you. I am Morgans. Do you know? I have been paying attention to you since I witnessed your grace in the G1 sea battle.

Your growth rate is truly astonishing. You surpass my expectations every time and achieve results that shock the world. I've wanted to see you for a long time, but unfortunately I always missed it.

Now I finally got my wish and saw you in person. You are indeed a talented person, much more handsome than the photos taken by my reporters. "

"President Morgans is too complimentary. Come on, come on, sit down and talk."

Morgans is truly a giant in the journalism industry. He speaks nicely and is always full of compliments.

The two smiled and sat down on the sofa in the office. Rorschach personally picked up the tea on the table and poured Morgans a cup of hot tea.

"Oh, how can I ask you, Lieutenant General Lan Lin, to pour me tea? I'll do it myself. Just do it myself."

Morgans stood up hurriedly, snatched the tea from Rorschach's hand, and without saying a word, poured Rorschach a cup first, then poured himself a cup, and then sat down humbly.

Rorschach sat opposite Morgans with a smile on his face, "President Morgans, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Rorschach, Lieutenant General Lan Lin."

Morgans smiled heartily and said, "That would be disrespectful."

Rorschach took a sip of tea, and after a few polite words with Morgans, he went straight to the point and asked: "President Morgans, are you here just to take some photos with me?

You are the dignified president of the News of the World. For such a trivial matter, just send a few reporters over. Or just give me a notice and I can just take a few pictures and send them to you. "

“The main reason is that we are close. Recently, there has been one breaking news in the new world, so I have been staying in the G1 sea area and Totland recently.

No, as soon as Marshal Akainu mentioned to me about the recruitment of your navy, I thought of you. Of course, in addition to wanting to come and meet you in person, I also want to express my gratitude to you in person. "

Morgans was smiling all over his face, but it was difficult for him to show such a lively expression despite his bird-like albatross face.

Rorschach was surprised: "Oh? Thank me? How do you say this?"

Morgans smiled and said: "It's very simple, because your appearance can be said to have saved my newspaper.

Rorschach, you probably don’t know that before you came into being, my newspaper had experienced a sharp decline in sales for more than ten consecutive years.

The performance of this newspaper is getting worse year by year, and the sales of newspapers are also declining year by year. Until your appearance, especially the performance in the G1 sea battle, directly brought my newspaper back to life.

That time alone, the sales of our newspapers around the world tripled.

And you have successively done many major events, such as the annihilation of the Big Mom Pirates, the killing of Doflamingo Tenyasha, the battle with Kaido, and this time the battle with Marinefando, and even your arrest and imprisonment , my newspaper was sold out of stock, and my newspaper’s printing factory couldn’t even print it.

You think, should I come to express my gratitude to you in person? "

Morgans said with a smile, reaching into his arms and taking out a check from the World Government Bank. He held it with both hands and pushed it in front of Rorschach.

Rorschach's expression changed, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly, "What is this, President Morgans?"

"This little thought is my thanks."

Luo Xia glanced at it and took a deep breath.

Good guy, ten billion Baileys!

Rorschach almost thought he was blinded.

Ten billion Baileys is not a small number.

You may not be able to appreciate the amount of money just by looking at the numbers.

Take the fleet being formed by G5 as an example. The main ship of a large warship costs one billion Baileys. Morgans has ten ships at his disposal, which is enough for Rorschach to arm the fifth fleet.

Now the cost of the improved Pacifist has dropped, only 300 million Baileys per unit, which can buy 33 units.

Kaido's bounty is only 46 billion, and 100 billion can buy two Kaidos.

Is a newspaper owner so rich now?

Just for a thank you, casually give yourself 10 billion beli?
Rorschach was a little unsure of what Morgans really thought.

Unexpectedly, the benefits provided by Morgans are not limited to this.

Just listen to him continue to say with a smile: "I hope you don't feel too little, Luo Xia. In addition, I would like to give you three shares of the news agency in my own name. Although it is not much, if the sales volume can maintain the current level, It will also allow you to receive a dividend of 3 billion Baileys every year, and I hope Lieutenant General Luo Xia will not dislike it. "

Luo Xia was really confused now.

What is this called?
People sit at home, but military expenses come from the sky?
Morgans received a check of 10 billion, plus three points of shares in the news agency. If this were the case, ordinary people would be shocked and speechless just by hearing this huge number, right?

It's also a shame that Rorschach has never paid much attention to things like money.

He is not short of money either. Tens of thousands of tons of gold transported from the sky island are still on the G5 island.

However, Rorschach is not arrogant enough to really feel that his charm can impress even the world's leading businessman like Morgans.

So, Morgans... wants to invest in himself in advance?
Rorschach thought about it and could only think of this possibility.

Thinking of this, Rorschach smiled and picked up the check handed over by Morgans, "Then I will be disrespectful. President Morgans, if you and your news agency encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to come to me. If it can be solved, I will never sit idly by.”

"Okay, okay, that's cool enough. What I'm waiting for is Lieutenant General Rorschach, ah no, it's General. What I'm waiting for is General Rorschach's words." Seeing Rorschach accept the money, Morgans was overjoyed and raised his head. Rorschach touched the tea and drank it in one gulp.

After noticing that Rorschach was still calm and composed, not losing his composure at all because of the checks and shares he gave out, Morgans secretly praised Rorschach in his heart and thought more highly of Rorschach.

In fact, Rorschach's guess about him was only half correct.

The reason why Morgans made a special trip to come here and gave Rorschach such a large sum of benefits was that in addition to wanting to bet the future sales of the news agency on Rorschach, another important reason was that he wanted to borrow Rorschach. This relationship, which would play an important role in the navy in the future, provided shelter for his news agency.

Although he himself is stubborn, he often disobeys the World Government's attempt to tamper with real news. He also places the news agency's headquarters on a hot air balloon with no fixed address to avoid being tracked by CP personnel.

But his news agency has huge printing plants and branches all over the world. If he really wants to completely confront the world government and be liquidated by the Five Old Stars, he can run away, but neither can the branches around the world.

Therefore, Morgans would make some investment before Rorschach fully reached the peak of naval power.

Morgans achieved his goal, and Rorschach got the benefits. Both the host and the guest were very happy, and the conversation immediately became more lively.

After talking for dozens of minutes, Morgans seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, Lieutenant General Rorschach, I heard that you have been looking for the missing Blackbeard? I have a very interesting news here, It may be related to the Blackbeard you are looking for. "

Luo Xia narrowed his eyes and said in surprise: "Oh? Really?"
