Let’s Talk About the Plot with Everyone (Please Watch It if You Have Time!)

I was already preparing to type the manuscript of Chapter 3. When I saw the comments from two readers in the background, I really felt that there was something I wanted to talk about.

The general idea is that I don't quite understand why I arranged a minion to show off for a whole chapter, and don't talk about anything to introduce the content. I don't want to see some idiots talking nonsense, and I am sober when everyone is drunk.

The following is what I want to say, so as to discuss with you the issue of whether the plot is good or not:

First, regarding the navy’s current actions and plans, I can’t just write that we will fight xx today and xx tomorrow, right? Everything has causes and consequences and a complete logic, right? Since Porusalino has proposed a plan to be implemented on Fishman Island, and the Navy is also preparing to implement this plan, there must be preliminary work, mid-term implementation, and subsequent effects. The slave traders themselves are an important entry point, because one of the main conflicts between Fish-Man Island and humans is slaves. This is a battle of public opinion, preparation for the battle, and an important part of the logical plot. With such content, should I directly write about destroying the xx slave market? But there is no such thing as destroying the slave market in the pirate world, because that is legal. Or do you think it is more reasonable to say that there is no need for slaves to enter, the navy can move in directly, and the Fish-Man Island jumps with joy?

Secondly, it is the end of the year 1502 of the Hainan calendar. The last big plot brought Robin back to the headquarters in 1500. In two years, do we need to explain her changes? Do we need to explain her interpersonal relationships? Going on missions with Rosinandi, does that count as a side profile? Do you mean that I want to ignore this kind of character and just treat it as a passerby who will be gone if the harem is collected in a harem stud novel? Dr. Vegapunk entered the Navy, right, so he studied pacifists? Just studied the ancestry factor? Is he such a flat character? Personally, I think it is reasonable and necessary to explain that he made the mermaid-type propeller, in order to facilitate the navy's operations on Fish-Man Island, as well as the continuous new scientific research results, right? What's more, Rosinandi is also a character who spent a lot of ink in the early stage and played an important role in my outline. Do his actions, words and deeds reflect his current situation, and that he is a former Draco from Polusali? What about the changes that Nou got here? Or do you mean that this kind of description is not needed and you can just skip it? Directly dozens or hundreds of chapters later it was shown that Rocinante was firmly against slaves?

Third, the specific situation of the Whitebeard Pirates, such as the prohibition of slaves and drugs on the territory, how Whitebeard and the pirates under his command formed an alliance, how they formed an alliance, how the Whitebeard usually operates, and the main problems they face What are the problems and actions? These are official settings in themselves, but in fact, comics and animations rarely show content. How many fan novels will write about it? Or should we say that as soon as Roger died, the whole world went looking for the treasure, and no one had other ideas or ambitions, right? The tone I set for this book from the beginning is to try to present a pirate world that is logically self-consistent and restores the settings. This is also a better point in my opinion. Without these contents, would it be possible to fight whenever you want and forever display the stereotyped character image of that plot timeline? But I am only in 1502, and there are still 18 years left before Luffy goes to sea. And again, I have a story line and a timeline. If I do something a, there will inevitably be something b, and the follow-up c - there is a description in the anime of Whitebeard lending the flag to Fish-Man Island, right? Could it be that he borrowed it suddenly one day? Just like suddenly having a fight one day? Can everyone borrow it?

Maybe some fans are like this? Is this how things like this happen? But this was not the case from the beginning of this book. I have written the story of Teach and Sachi before, interspersed in the middle. In fact, a lot of the content is dialogue, and then the communication between the subordinates and so on, maybe it is quite "watery"? But this plot explains a lot of things that are not shown in the anime according to the official settings. Why did Teach kill Thatch? Not only because of the Devil Fruit, but also because Thatch discovered Teach’s secret; why did Thatch have such a good relationship with Ace? Because Ace ate the Shao Shao Fruit that Thatch wanted most, and it was the most helpful to Thatch's cooking; why did Blackbeard give the transparent fruit to Ame no Shiru? Not only because the fruit is delivered to the door, but also because the transparent fruit originally meant a lot to Blackbeard; will the pirates be rewarded for killing pirates? Yes, the specific method is to deliver it to the navy through an intermediary; apart from the captains, does the white team have any other outstanding characters? Yes, there are intelligence personnel who act like think tanks, and a lot of information is contained in content that some people may find watery.

Fourth, what is the significance of this so-called minion - he can betray Whitebeard, contact Kaido, and also contact BIGMOM. With such a plot arrangement, is he a minion? Who was the last person to betray Whitebeard? What caused the War on Top? Who was the last person whose deal with Kaido went wrong? What's behind it? With Whitebeard's character, his subordinates betrayed him, and with Kaido's character, the deal failed. Isn't this arrangement obvious enough? You should be able to figure it out if you watch anime and manga, which are relatively complete, right? To take a step back, don't look back, even forward - I specifically stated that this person loves money extremely, and before him, I focused on describing the Golden Emperor Tezzolo, the big boss in the movie version. This relationship is obvious enough. I can't really just release the outline, right? I am writing a novel, not serving food, not to mention that the food must be served one by one.

And the so-called pretentious content - some readers may not be familiar with the plot of One Piece. Many of the settings of this character are basically taken from the original plot. It is a pieced together character, including his speeches, many of which are It is similar to the original lines, so many people laughed knowingly after watching it. Moreover, any character who appears, even if he only appears for one second and only serves the plot for one second, his speech and actions must be in line with his personality. If, for the sake of so-called "immortality", the character is turned into a goal-oriented line-reading machine that only talks about dry stuff, and he has no personality, only actions and words, then do you think it will be interesting to read?

In other words, as a slave trader to be described, for the so-called "not water", why not write that he has subordinates and secretaries, and let him pick up the goods by himself? Instead of writing about his appearance, just write about who this person is? Instead of writing about his performance when receiving and inspecting the goods, just write about him paying the money, taking the goods and leaving? Instead of writing about his motivations for his position and his thoughts on how to act, just write about him betraying Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world, and engaging in slave trading? I'm afraid that such a character is not only flat, but also has a brain problem, right?

Fifth, a cliché point is that my timeline is very advanced. In 1502, even if I wanted to write about the big shot in your eyes, he had to be born. I can’t jump directly to 1520, right? Then you can no longer write 100,000 words? And in the past 18 years, the characters I used to promote the plot and describe could not always be the big characters who have already appeared, right? And to put it bluntly, even in the previous Golden Lion chapter, some readers felt that I wrote too much about this person, the Golden Lion. He is a character that only exists in the theatrical version. Because he has never seen it, he feels it is unnecessary. .

I also want to write about plot characters, big names, and big events—but in 1503 of the Hainan calendar, which is the next year of the current plot, the four Sanji brothers and Zoro were born. Including Crocodile's challenge to Whitebeard, which I wrote in advance, that was also in 1503. There is no way I can write that Luffy traveled through time and came to this point in time, or that Porusalino took a nap and Luffy got the Onepiece directly in 1523?

Sixth, the author can clearly see the subscription and data in the background. How many people are willing to continue to read in 24 hours? To put it bluntly, the data represents the majority of readers. I cannot take care of everyone. I am responsible for most people. manner. As far as the current situation is concerned, this fan novel has not included Luffy going to sea so far. There are still many people supporting it, and the number is gradually increasing. Thank you!

By the way, many chapters ago, I introduced a character named baby5. How many people still remember it? Such a character is relatively well-known, right? I have a lot of plot arrangements for her in the future. Should I explain her situation and profile her in a few words from time to time? Or were you suddenly brought up to ask her to do something? Or should we write about her growth experience bit by bit? Or should I stop writing it and just pretend that this character has never appeared? Want to hear your thoughts.
