"Skulls in straw hats, wanted posters, sails... and this!"

A man put several posters on the table, holding the last one in his hand and said: "This is the most normal one, what do you think?"

Sun Minghui, who was sitting across from him, looked at it. It was a black poster with several people lined up on it. The specific appearance could not be seen clearly, only the outline of the white body. In fact, this poster only has two colors of black and white, the background is black, and the content inside is white.

In addition to the main figures, there is a white straw hat skull on the top, followed by a few words: One Piece.

"This is the title..."

Sun Minghui asked.

"Yes, the title, but it doesn't matter! What matters is... smack!"

The man slapped the poster on the table and said coldly: "Mr. He Xi's new work is really a pirate! A pirate is someone who robs and kills people at sea. What's the point of this theme? Manager Sun, let's guess who loses!" How about ordering Phoenix's new magazine?"

This is an institution of higher learning. Both Sun Minghui and the man talking are the bookstore owners of this school. There are only two regular bookstores in this school. They are discussing the issue of ordering comics. The students here are very enthusiastic about buying comics, and the competition between the two bookstores is very fierce.

After hearing that He Xi would publish a new magazine, the man first proposed the idea of ​​one family, that is, one bookstore would order He Xi's new magazine, and the other bookstore would order "Weekly Boutique", without interfering with each other.

"Do you also think that Teacher He Xi will lose to Li Xin?"

Sun Minghui was slightly surprised. The reason the two hadn't decided was because they didn't know how to divide it. Now that the content of He Xi's new magazine came out, he didn't expect the man to immediately mention the method of guessing fist games, and He Xi was still the loser.

"Isn't it obvious!" The man nodded: "The sales of "Weekly Boutique" have increased again this week. The new magazine of Phoenix Company only has "One Piece". .”

"Come on, don't procrastinate, guess your luck. No one complains."

He said that since the two bookstores compete with each other, it is better to sell them separately, since Zhongxia's "Son of Detective" was released. The sales volume of "Weekly Boutique" is soaring, and the man can't help but want to monopolize it.

"Since you have said so." Sun Minghui smiled: "I also want "Weekly Boutique\

,"Then it depends. "

He stood up, and then had a boxing game with the man, winning two out of three rounds, and the final result was - losing.

"Haha, there's no way, Old Sun, it seems that my luck is better!"

The man patted Sun Minghui on the shoulder and smiled happily: ""Weekly Youth" and "Zhongxia Daily" are still purchased together as usual. But you can no longer order "Weekly Boutique", this comic is now mine Tube."

Sun Minghui sighed and nodded regretfully.

"I see, you leave the poster to me."

He returned to his bookstore with a few posters, and his wife saw his frown. Asked curiously: "Why is your complexion so bad?"

"We won't be able to order "Weekly Boutique" in the future..." Sun Minghui put the poster on the table, then sat down weakly on the chair next to him: "Just now I met Cong Ya's boss, and he made a bet with me. We are responsible for ordering Mr. He Xi's new magazine."

"What about Weekly Boutique? Are they in charge of that magazine? Are you kidding me!"

My wife got angry. The sales volume of "Weekly Boutique" in the school was very good, at least 200 copies were sold every week, and the two bookstores added up to more than 400 copies. The profit is higher than many best-selling novels, no matter how you say it, it will be gone!

"Okay, I can't go back on it." Sun Minghui shrank his head a little weakly, and argued: "Besides, don't you like Teacher He Xi more? This is also a good thing..."

"I like it, but this..."

The wife sighed, and she spread the poster. Frowning, he said, "Ms. He Xi's new comic is about pirates. Everyone is calling it bad. I'm not very optimistic about the market...Huh? Seems a bit strange..."

She flipped through the posters and suddenly found something weird.

"What's wrong?"

Sun Minghui got up from his chair, his wife was always smart. Did you see something.

"The story of this pirate..." The wife continued to watch, she carefully compared the posters several times, and then slowly said: "It seems to be different from the pirates we know."

"Look at these two..." She pointed to the poster of the straw hat's skull and the poster of the arrest warrant: "Did you find anything in common?"

Sun Minghui didn't think much about it: "The straw hat, what's so strange about it!"

The person on the wanted poster has a straw hat, exactly like the one on the skull.

"Yes, then this character should be the protagonist, and the captain." The wife nodded and continued: "I think the skull should be the flag of their pirates...and in this picture, the straw hat boy is standing in the middle."

She took out the black and white picture again. Among the people on it was a figure wearing a straw hat.

"That makes sense, then what? What's so strange about that?"

Sun Minghui continued to ask.

"You are stupid, do ordinary pirates wear straw hats?" The wife said: "Pirates are criminals who specialize in robbing other ships at sea or along the coast. They are symbols of evil. A pirate captain wearing a straw hat, If you say it, you won't be laughed to death!"

"And his painting style doesn't feel evil." She looked at the head portrait of the protagonist of "One Piece" and frowned slightly: "Maybe just like the slogan, this is a passionate comic about friendship and dreams."

"With the word 'thief', can you still talk about friendship and passion?" Sun Minghui's eyes widened, and he reached out to touch his wife's forehead: "Do you trust Teacher He Xi too much, so you won't have a high fever?"

"Go to hell, you have a high fever."

His wife patted his hand away, and snorted coldly: "Before "Detective Conan" came out, who would have thought that detective comics could be drawn so youthfully? When I told you, you still refused to buy it. So don’t use the standards of ordinary people to judge Teacher He Xi’s thinking.”

Sun Minghui was taken aback, surprised: "You mean that "One Piece" will surprise people like "Detective Conan"?"

"It's possible..." The wife nodded and said slowly, "Anyway, try increasing the order..."

Time flies, May 8th

Amid the curiosity of many readers and the ridicule of the media, Phoenix Company launched a new magazine "Xi" and a new comic "One Piece".

These two seemingly identical things have emerged from this day, and the first opponent in front of them is "Weekly Boutique".
