After receiving Zhao Haoâs order, Taojia activated the fruitâs ability without any hesitation and entered the ground.
Going deep into the ground to search for treasure was something that Taojia had done often in the past, so she was already very familiar with it.
Her Devil Fruit allowed her to walk freely on the ground.
Zhao Hao took out his Den Den Mushi and called Tsuru, asking her to gather information about Captain John using the Marines.
After an hour, Taojia appeared in front of Zhao Hao again.
âI found a large number of pirate corpses. Itâs obvious that there was a battle. Captain John isnât among them, and judging from the degree of decay, itâs been about a month.â
Zhao Hao sat on the rock and listened to Taojiaâs report.
Then, he took out a cigar and smoked it while thinking.
Zhao Hao remembered that in the original manga, Captain John wanted to keep the treasure for himself but was killed by his own subordinates.
It seemed like a leopard couldnât change its spots. Captain John had this habit since a long time ago.
Things like internal strife and killing each other because of wealth were common among pirates, and pirates went out to sea for treasures.
If they really found a large treasure, it was hard to say how many people would be able to resist the greed in that instant.
There had been many pirate groups that had disappeared by killing each other.
Zhao Hao asked Taojia after thinking for a while, âDo you think that with the piratesâ spending habits, theyâve spent quite a bit this month after obtaining a large amount of wealth?â
Taojia was stunned for a moment. She thought for a moment and replied, âThatâs for sure. A pirate like Captain John must have spent at least half of his money.â
A sinister smile appeared on Zhao Haoâs face.
Since the pirates were rich and could spend freely, he could do something to them.
Since he was already here, Zhao Hao definitely wouldnât leave if he didnât achieve something.
Zhao Hao took out his Den Den Mushi and called Kong.
âHello, itâs Fleet Admiral Kong.â
The call was connected, and Kongâs voice was heard.
Zhao Hao didnât want to waste time. Since the Marines had already punished him, he was still a Vice Admiral.
âFleet Admiral Kong, I need you to send some men over. Also, give me the contact information of the news agency.â
âWell, if you want manpower, I can assign them to you. What do you want the contact information of the newspaper?â Kong said with a frown.
He already had a bad feeling in his heart.
âItâs nothing. Iâm looking for a newspaper to publish a piece of news,â Zhao Hao said calmly, as if it was a small matter.
Hearing Zhao Haoâs relaxed tone, Kong also relaxed a lot. He was really afraid that this guy would cause him trouble.
âDo you want a big newspaper or a small one?â
Zhao Hao replied without hesitation, âA big newspaper, the bigger the better. Itâs best if itâs well-known all over the world.â
The call ended.
Zhao Hao successfully obtained the phone number of the biggest newspaper in the world from Kong.
âHello, this is the phone number of the President of the World Economic News. Iâm his assistant. The President is dealing with official business now. If you have an urgent matter, you can tell me or call me later.â
A very pleasant female voice came from the other end of the phone.
âLook for your President. By the way, ask him how much it costs to publish a piece of news privately,â Zhao Hao said calmly.
On the other end of the call, the assistant politely replied, âIâm sorry. Weâre not a small newspaper. We donât accept such private matters.â
âIâm from the Marines, Zhao Hao.â
âUm.â
After a short silenceâŠ
âPlease, please wait a moment. Iâll go and look for the President now.â
Zhao Haoâs reputation was known by everyone in the world.
Not to mention the worldâs largest newspaper. Recently, it was because of Zhao Hao that the newspapers had been selling well.
The assistant took the Den Den Mushi and ran to the Presidentâs office.
The Den Den Mushi was silent for a while, then a very rough male voice suddenly came through.
âHello, Iâm Morganz. Vice Admiral Zhao Hao, nice to meet you.â
âHello, letâs cut to the chase and get straight to the point.â Zhao Haoâs tone was also very calm.
With his current strength, he didnât need to be respectful to anyone.
âHahaha, youâre welcome. As long as itâs a big piece of news, our news agency will definitely not miss it,â Morganz said arrogantly.
âCan you release private news?â asked Zhao Hao.
âA private one? Are you going to expose a secret side of the Marines?â Morganz said excitedly.
âNo, I just want to borrow your platform to release a piece of ordinary news to the world.â
Zhao Hao was rendered speechless.
âMay I know what kind of news it is?â
Morrigan instantly lost interest.
âItâs the treasure hideout of a very rich pirate. It was accidentally found at Deathknell Mountain. I want to publish this news on the front page of your newspaper.â
Zhao Hao revealed his plan.
If he were to announce a treasure trove to the world, the pirates who would hear the news would definitely swarm over. He wouldnât even need to take the initiative to search for them, as they would line up to die.
âUm.â
Morgans was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. He then spoke to the Den Den Mushi in a relaxed manner. âIâm guessing that must be fake news, right?â
âYes, thatâs right.â
Zhao Hao didnât have any intention of hiding it.
âThis⊠You know that our news agency values credibility more than anything else. This will damage the reputation of our newspaper.â
â50,000,000 Berries,â Zhao Hao said calmly.
âThis isnât a matter of money. After all, our newspaper is the worldâs largest newspaper and has a lot of power. If people think that the news they get from our newspaper is fake, no one will buy it in the future,â Morganz said tactfully.
âNews like a pirateâs treasure hideout is always uncertain. Whatâs the point of whether itâs true or not? 80,000,000,â added Zhao Hao.
Morgans continued. âThatâs true, but what you want is still the front-page headline. If something really happens, people will blame us.â
âDonât worry. No one will come to you alive. 100,000,000.â Zhao Haoâs tone already carried a trace of anger.
âThis is a little difficult. If you only want to send the money to a certain sea area, itâs fine, but the whole world⊠To tell the truth⊠youâll have to pay more.â
