I Have No Interest In Devil Fruit

Hey.

In view of the fact that there seem to be a lot of people who hate this book, I didn’t want to write any final testimonials to scold me; but after all, there are readers who like this book, and readers who have liked this book, so I will give a little testimonial at the end Let's take a moment, it can be regarded as an explanation for this journey of 3 million words. Let’s use a little tidbit as an introduction—a year and eight months ago, around the time I uploaded the first chapter of this book, an author of the pirate novel Happy Luo, who did not want to be named, said : Remind me when you write about getting on the boat later, I will go to your book review area to see the excitement.

So let's start the first and only and last SBS of this book!

D: (applause) (applause), listening to your accent, it means that when you wrote the first chapter, you have already decided that this book is a "follow the boat"?

Y:?

D:?

Y: Your question reminds me of a little tidbit...

D: Why do you have so many tidbits?

Y: It was almost at the beginning of Chapter 100 of this book, when Lynch and Robin passed by the Organ Island, the Shemale Island, and the Boeing Islands one after another. I also forgot where I saw a comment. Why do you keep running to the island where the plot took place in the past two years? Do you have to follow the boat?

D: ...so?

Y: I mean, if you look at it from the back to the front, the smell of the book is actually very obvious. Otherwise, why did the protagonist pass by the islands related to the straw hat doubts when entering the great route for the first time? Why does the protagonist hardly call himself a pirate group, and never recruits new crew members? Why do you have to turn a corner and go to Nine Snakes? Why didn't they go to Fishman Island because of an accident even though they had already arrived at Chambord Land? and so on (laughs).

Y: By the way, the title of Chapter 610 is "I Don't Want to Be a Hero". When I wrote that chapter, I felt that I was almost expressing it... The "hero theory" in Lynch's mouth is basically copied from comics Luffy and Zoro in the movie made similar speeches.

D:? Let’s not talk about what’s explicit; didn’t I go to Murloc Island because I wanted to treat Whitebeard? What does it have to do with getting on the boat later?

Y: Didn't Whitebeard die on the top after treatment?

D: What you said...

Y: Treating Whitebeard is just a cover-up. What I cover up is that I must never let the protagonist and Robin go to Fishman Island before boarding the boat. It seems strange to say it specifically, but there is such a kind of self-restraint when writing: If I wrote and wrote at that time, I asked Lynch and Robin to go to Fishman Island in advance to "step on a little bit", then I gave up on boarding later.

D: It's good to give up, it's really a crime...

Y: It’s also similar: if you accidentally wrote that Lynch let people other than Robin board the boat and formed a pirate group in the actual sense, then you would also give up following the boat later; even if you accidentally put Lynch wrote in a style such as "I am the captain of the JOJO Pirates", and then he gave up following the ship; if he accidentally wrote the first half of the story in a style of "not so like pirate comics", then I also gave up following the boat later...

D: You wait. It is written in the style of a pirate manga, but is it intentional?

Y: How about that? (Laughs) In fact, there was a special plan to let Lynch do things that people on the straw hat boat would not do, but I have a deep impression that Lynch will face guns in the West Sea in the early stage. Playing with fire intentionally at times; robbing Caesar directly on the flower boat; when fighting Haiina on Krajgana Island, facing the enemy’s strange abilities, they will not "think about the cycle" and do "sure-for-all"... To put it bluntly, it is to make him "undecent" and "brainless" on purpose. Lynch's speech and behavior style, while trying not to deviate too much from the line of the protagonist of the web novel, also try to fit the atmosphere of the Straw Hats as much as possible.

D: If you put it this way, in the first chapter, when Lynch faced the gangsters, he would have that kind of "court death" reaction...

Y: I wrote it that way on purpose (laughs), just to highlight a brain.

D: Also, Lynch is sometimes said to be a benevolent pirate, because it is rarely written in the book how he slaughtered miscellaneous fish...

Y: If the writing is too bloody and positively describes how many people Lynch has killed, I always feel that it will not fit the style of the straw hat. So yes, the depiction of murder was intentionally avoided - just like in the comics.

D: I suddenly feel so bored...

Y: (laughs) You insisted on talking about it from the perspective of writing. Writing a novel is inherently boring, especially when you already have the overall outline of the whole book at the beginning of writing, it is even more boring. But looking at the story itself, when did Lynch himself decide to get on the boat? It's the end of the battle on top. For Lynch at the time, not being able to get on the ship had little impact on him, and he himself didn't mind it very much, and with Luffy's persistence, he got on it naturally—at least I hoped achieve the effect.

D: There is no such effect.

Y: It seems so.

D: So back to the very beginning—why follow the ship? It's too outdated, what's there to do with that shitty ship from the Straw Hats?

Y: I also hate the new world chapter, especially Luffy after the Big Mom chapter, and even the whole Straw Hat gang. It doesn't feel like it used to.

D:?

Y: That's why I miss the Straw Hats in the first half even more, doesn't it? If the straw hat gang in the first half and the straw hat gang in the second half are divided into straw hat A and straw hat B, then I think the reason why I want to write the boat is that there are some things in the story of straw hat A that can be It would have been better if it had been done (e.g. keep Merry and bring Raab), and Straw Hat B's terrible, unlikable story would have been better if it hadn't happened at all, or had Straw Hat A replaced it. Human thoughts are clear... For example, it is to make Lu Fei say to Xiaoyu that her ability is annoying, and to make Lu Fei say that Mita is too naive, so I don't feel uncomfortable...

D: All right, all right, "I made this dumpling for the sake of this bit of vinegar", if you use a rotten stalk, it's...

D: You haven't answered the previous question: Why did you follow the ship? Do you have any hobbies?

Y: I actually read very few pirate fanfic. Naruto has read the most, and I have written it myself; Dragon Ball fans are my favorite, but I don’t read much (because there are few people who write it), and I have written it myself, and I have written two books; The ones that sound impressive, one is "One Piece I am a Devil", and the other is "Legend of One Piece: The Master of One Piece"...Unfortunately (laughs), these two books are so-called "following the boat", Especially the latter, the protagonist of the latter is also the mode of taking risks first and then boarding the ship.

D: ...Are these two Duan Geng Wen dug up from some ancient tomb?

Y: So I don't read much. In addition, I have never written a pirate article. It is the first time I try it. Is there any reason not to write about the genre I prefer?

D: Oh. So write with the boat. Oh.

Y: When I decided to write about the flow of ships, I encountered a very difficult problem.

D: Is it because no one likes to watch this stuff?

Y: It's because I personally don't like nanny-style protagonists who follow boats. Although I am a devil and mage legend above, especially the mage legend, I am a bit of a babysitter... On the other hand, other pirate novels, even if they are not related to ships, sometimes when they meet plot characters, they obviously have nothing to do with the protagonist. The protagonist will still go all the way to give without asking for anything in return. This feeling is actually quite annoying.

D: Didn't you fucking say that you read very few pirate novels?

Y: It's rare, but it's not like I haven't seen it. Many of them are casually glanced at, and if they don't like it, they are thrown away, so they don't leave any impression in their minds.

Y: Since I don't like the protagonist who does this, when I write, I try to avoid similar feelings. Taking the plot in this book as an example, the design that I am more proud of is the arrangement of Momonosuke in the Wano country chapter-Lynch subjectively never thought of targeting Momonosuke, a kid, but Momonosuke's fate is closely related to Lynch's killing of Doflamingo. To sum up, I just like this feeling: no matter how much I want something to happen, if it is not suitable for the protagonist to do it, then I will not force the protagonist to do it himself.

Y: For example, Garp in Windmill Village took Shanks and the others to meet Ace. This is of course a plot that I wrote on purpose, but on the surface it has nothing to do with Lynch. But if it wasn't for Lynch, Tulip wouldn't have gone to Windmill Village alive, and if it wasn't for Tulip's scruples, Garp wouldn't have returned to his hometown in Donghai ahead of schedule, and he wouldn't have met Shanks who hadn't had time to leave. Now that Garp met Shanks, the following things will be logical...

D: With so many dry hammers, isn't it about the boat?

Y: Since I don't like nanny-style protagonists, the first plan to kill is to follow the boat from the beginning of the story. From the beginning, I followed the boat and wrote one or two million words. It seems that it is a bit difficult not to have a babysitter.

Y: On the other hand, this way of following the boat from the beginning, there will be a problem that is difficult to deal with: the boss you encounter, should you fight it for Luffy or for the protagonist? Calling Luffy, why did the protagonist come here? Call the protagonist, the limelight and experience are given to the protagonist, why is Luffy here? ——And if you choose to follow the boat, it is obviously because you like the Straw Hats. On the contrary, you want the protagonist to grab Luffy's BOSS and experience packs, grab the limelight and grab the highlight moment, which seems to be putting the cart before the horse.

D: ...

D: So this is the reason why others don't like to follow the boat and don't like to write about the boat, don't you find it? This subject matter is inherently deformed in online articles!

Y: If you can’t just give up when you encounter a problem, right? Think again. Then there is another question to consider: when the protagonist wants to board the ship, what range should his strength be positioned at? If the protagonist's strength is less than or equal to that of Lu Fei Zoro when he boards the ship, then obviously this is a way of growing up together - but this will lead to the fact that if the protagonist's growth rate is not as fast as that of Lu Suo, he will look a bit useless, and if his strength is not as good as , then obviously the quality of the monsters brushed on the road is not as good as that of Lu Suo, giving up the highlight moments and bosses to Lu Fei, although I personally don’t think there is anything, but I also know that it is definitely not suitable for the reading habits of online articles; and if the protagonist It's even more nonsense to grow faster than Lu Suo. In this case, what is the meaning of Lu Suo's existence? The characteristic of the two characters of Luffy and Zoro is in the battle, and the characters who lose their characteristics will be boring...

D: What you said seems like Lynch's strength is not as good as that of Lu Suo...

Y: When it exceeds too much, it will not affect it (laughs). It is based on this view that the current plot line is finally finalized: the first half is the protagonist’s own adventure, and the middle part is officially boarded after the top battle. , the protagonist only participates in the process of the second half of the new world.

D: I lost my memory? How do I remember that I also wrote the first half?

Y: Because I really want to write. It was also mentioned in the testimonial on the shelf, how could Meili just give up like that? ? ?

Y: But in this way, there is another new problem: since it has been decided that the protagonist will officially board the ship after the top, it is obvious that the protagonist's strength is already in the first echelon at that time, but the first half of the story needs to be written, so First, does the protagonist board the ship before the New World Chapter, or in the first half? If it's the latter, the protagonist's nanny seems to be the one...

D: Isn't Lynch no longer a nanny? Immediately raised Luffy's group to the full level, this is not a babysitter...

Y: If you taste it carefully, isn't it because Lynch doesn't want to be a nanny and thinks that would be meaningless, so it took a year to upgrade everyone to the full level?

D:?

Y:?

Y: (laughs) It is precisely because Lynch is too strong that he has the leeway to give up the second half of the bosses to Luffy, and it is also because Luffy has already reached the full level, so there is no need for Lynch to intervene to help Brush bosses.

D: Give up all the bosses in the second half...then there is only one Kaido? Oh, and a black beard. Big Mom and Dover have already been booked, Binghuo Island Caesar is gone, Dressrosa is not going, Zou Island is not going either...

Y: It is precisely because we know that the Straw Hats will not go to Zou in the follow-up, so Lynch and Robin went there earlier and got the red stone; it is precisely because we don’t want to write the Tokushima chapter, so Lynch solved Tokushima in advance I took a trip to the North Sea and killed Doflamingo... This is actually a bit like the type of "seeking trouble for nothing" I mentioned above, but after all, it's not just asking for trouble to help the plot characters for free, but looking for trouble for nothing trampled one to death... so it feels okay. The former is purely beneficial to the protagonist, while the latter can gain some combat experience and the like.

Y: Back to the topic just now. This is the situation in front of us now: when the new world chapter is on board, the protagonist’s strength must be particularly strong, preferably to the point of transcendence; I really want to write the first half of the story, but the first half of the story tells me The impression is very good, and I don't think there is a need to make huge changes-but I don't want to change, but I need a reason. My first reaction was: Let the protagonist have a reason why he can't shoot casually, wouldn't it be fine!

D: ...waiting here? So the reason why "B.I.B" has a setting of "the longer you leave the main body, the more fatigue you will accumulate", is it designed for boarding?

Y: Divide the protagonist into two people! It's that simple idea. So if you want to write like this, the other protagonist has to go offline temporarily, otherwise there is no reason to think of a way to solve the reason why you can’t just shoot casually, and stay on the boat honestly... At that time, I happened to be watching the fifth animation of JOJO, Golden Wind, and felt The stand-in is very suitable for this idea, so I used it.

Y: Why did you stay in Nine Snakes for so long? Because I want the protagonist, Robin and Luffy to be "relatively related", I hope it can reduce the discomfort of getting on the ship in the later stage; why did you meet Robin at the beginning and only have Robin as a companion for a long time? In fact, it was to pave the way for the protagonist's disconnection in the mid-term. The original plan was to attract the pursuit of the world government because of the exposure of Robin's identity... But as it is written, it seems that this point is not convincing enough. There is no way to let the protagonist Dropped, had to introduce Im in advance. Lynch is a fan of Robin, I’m sorry I’m not, I like all the beautiful characters in Pirates, but unfortunately in the plot arrangement of this book, the heroine at the beginning can only be from Robin and Na Miri chooses the first one, and Nami is obviously not as suitable as Robin. It was actually an accident that the empress became the second heroine... When I was writing Nine Snakes, I suddenly remembered this matter. Because of the empress's heartthrob setting, I convinced myself to let Lynch, who didn't have a harem mentality, hug him left and right. Because only the exceptional female emperor has a slight possibility for Robin to accept it. Other female characters, such as Heina, Ayu, Nami, Shirahoshi... No matter how I think about it, I have to forget it.

D: ...I haven't recovered from the sentence that the protagonist must be disconnected.

D: Speaking of which, do you have a tendency to abuse masters? The last book was abusive, this one is coming again, is there any end?

Y: Regarding this point, I can only say that in the early stage of the first book, I couldn't stand it myself... The words of this book, like the ones mentioned above, have a lot of explanations. The purpose is not to abuse the master, but to Let Lynch's body go offline. I also lived as much as possible during the period when Lynch was offline. It belongs to...

D: Robin’s only two role labels, one of which is “Ten Years of Nicole Robin’s Autism”, you call this moisturizing…

Y: It can only make her autistic. Do you want to write like this: The protagonist is in prison, and the heroine is playing happily outside... This is actually the reason why Robin was chosen at the beginning. To put it bluntly, the character Robin itself has autistic genes in the comics, so writing it at this time will not violate harmony. It is also for the same reason, I think the plot must be unfolded from the perspective of Robin... If you put the perspective on Lynch, after ten years in prison, I looked up, and my wife led a group of people Come to find yourself lively. The look and feel is a bit strange. In view of the fact that after writing like this, some people even joined the group to express incomprehensible arguments such as "cuckold" and "send a wife", I really can't imagine what it would be if I skipped Robin's perspective and only wrote about Lynch repercussions……

Y: Other than that, this is the way I can think of to get on board in such a situation: take advantage of Luffy's character traits. If Luffy believes that Heizi is already his partner, he will not give up easily, and the role of Luffy is also convincing enough, he really regards Lynch and "B.I.B" as the same person.

D: In a word, in a word: you want to write about the boat, but now this is the only way you can think of and you are willing to write about the boat you like, is that right?

Y: Almost.

D: If that's the case, why didn't you indicate in the introduction that you were with a boat?

Y: In that case, it is inevitable that there will be such a situation: people who want to see the ship come in because of the introduction, and read tens of thousands of words, hundreds of thousands of words, hundreds of thousands of words, why the hell haven’t followed the ship yet, and they are anxious to death ? On the other hand, after all, I also have this idea: as long as I try to write the atmosphere of the first half of the story in a more comic style and more "straw hat", it may not be impossible for people to see the atmosphere of the second half of the story. , it's easier to accept... Take a step back, even if it's only from a utilitarian point of view, if you put a "follow the boat" in the introduction, maybe someone will boo "It's boring, anyway, the back is the boat, the better the front The more boring it is”, if I receive such feedback all day long, I doubt whether I can finish writing this book.

D: You put it so nicely, don’t you just want to trick more people into watching it?

Y: It’s okay if you insist on saying that. I would also like to apologize to the readers who couldn't accept it even after seeing this and were "hurt". Subjectively, I really didn’t do it intentionally. This is a fundamental contradiction in the structure of this book. I have tried my best to improve the reading experience around the line of getting on the boat. If more than one million words are unacceptable, then I didn't recruit anymore, at least I have more than one million words, so let's just finish the book there! In the end, I personally feel a little helpless for my colleagues who are obviously One Piece, but they want to treat the elements of "following the boat" and "straw hat" as stinky shit that can't be avoided, and need to be specially marked for warning... There is something to say, this After writing this book, I am quite bored with the theme of One Piece...

D: Will you not write pirate novels in the future?

Y: I will write two more.

D:?

Y: (laughs) This is an idea I came up with when I was distracted in the second half of the book. Based on the different time points of Lily giving birth to Lynch, two other fan stories are differentiated. The general direction of the two books and the ending If you don't pay attention, you will almost think about it. It seems a pity if you don't write it. In particular, the title and introduction of one of the volumes have been finalized, ["Commander Qilin, may I ask why you chose such a remote branch in the South China Sea instead of the Navy headquarters in Marlin Vanduo? I think everyone knows, and you With his talent, he can easily pass Marin Fando’s military enlistment assessment.” “Because it’s closer to home.”], even if it’s just for this brief introduction, I want to figure it out.

Y: But it should not be the next book. Because it is true that I am bored with the pirate theme... Take a breather.

Y: As for the third book of One Piece, I decided to wait until Oda finished drawing One Piece and the dust of the manga story has settled.

D: You think a lot, you. Well, so many testimonials have been written, which should be enough to increase the word count of this book to three million. Anyway, there is no charge for testimonials, so there is no need for more water. That's all for now, let's make a final summary!

Y: (laughs) According to the established outline, I almost did not deviate from the track, and finished writing a novel smoothly. This is another kind of experience that I have never had before, which is different from the previous experience of writing like a headless chicken. ( Especially after I finished fighting Heina, I completely perfected the follow-up outline at that time, so the speed of updating after that also suddenly became stable and fast), in short, I am very happy to finish writing this book.

D: What else?

Y: It's a genius idea to serialize chapters! The neighbor Luo said that it is very easy to use this thing to count words! The chapter head of the battle of the top is my favorite. The serialization of the chapter head and the main text are perfectly synchronized, which is great!

D: What else?

Y: It's only a fool who writes like a boat. I'm an idiot!

D: ...

Y: It's great that the first pirate manga was written with the boat. See you next book!
