I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: End (S) Conclusion (B) Thoughts (S)
?Ke?br/>
Since there seem to be a lot of people who hate this book, I originally didn’t want to write a final statement to criticize; but after all, there are readers who like this book, and there are readers who have liked this book before, and here they are. Finally, let me give you a few words of reflection, which can be considered as an explanation for this three-million-word journey. Let us use a small tidbit as an introduction - one year and eight months ago, probably around the time I uploaded the first chapter of this book, a pirate novel author Happy Luo who did not want to be named said : Remind me when you write about getting on the ship later, and I will go to your book review area to see the excitement.
Then let’s start the first, only and last SBS of this book!
D: (Applause) (Applause), judging from your accent, does this mean that when you wrote the first chapter, you had already decided that this book would be a "follow-on"?
Y:?
D:?
Y: Your question reminds me of a little tidbit...
D: Why do you have so many tidbits?
Y: Around the time when the book was about a hundred chapters old, when Lynch and Robin passed by the Guan Island, the Transvestite Island, and the Boeing Islands one after another, I forgot where I saw a comment, which roughly meant: : Why does the protagonist keep running to the island where the plot took place two years ago? Is he following the ship behind him?
D: ...so?
Y: I mean, if you look at it from the back to the front, the smell of getting on board is actually very obvious in this book. Otherwise, why did the protagonist pass by the islands related to Straw Hat's doubts when he entered the Grand Line for the first time? Why does the protagonist hardly call himself a pirate group and never recruit new crew members? Why do we have to go all the way to Nine Snakes? Why did we not go to Fishman Island due to an accident even though we had already arrived at Shampoo Land? Things like that (laughs).
Y: By the way, Chapter 610, the title is "I don't want to be a hero." When I wrote that chapter, I felt that I was almost making it clear... The "hero theory" in Lynch's mouth is basically Luffy and Zoro's speeches are copied from the comics.
D:? Let’s not talk about the explicit ones; we didn’t go to Fish-Man Island, wasn’t it to treat Whitebeard? What does it have to do with getting on the ship later?
Y: After Whitebeard’s treatment, didn’t he still die at the top?
D: If you say that...
Y: Treating Whitebeard is just a cover-up. What is covering up is that I absolutely do not want the protagonist and Robin to go to Fish-Man Island before boarding the ship. It seems strange to mention it specifically, but I have such a kind of self-restraint when writing: If I tilted my hand while writing and asked Lynch and Robin to go to Fish-Man Island in advance to "step a bit", then I gave up and got on the boat later.
D: It’s good to give up. Why don’t you give up? That’s right...
Y: Something similar: If you accidentally write that Lynch lets people other than Robin board the ship and form a de facto pirate group, then you will also give up following the ship; even if you If you accidentally write Lynch in a style such as "I am the captain of the JOJO Pirates", then you will give up on following the ship; if you accidentally write the first half of the story in a style that is "less like a pirate comic" Wind, then give up following the boat...
D: Wait. It's written in the style of a pirate comic, is that intentional?
Y: What else? (Laughs) In fact, there was a special effort to ask Lynch to do some things that people on the earth would not be able to do but people on the straw hat boat would be able to do them. What impressed me most was that in the early stage of the show in the West Sea, Lynch would face the gunpoint. Sometimes he deliberately played with fire; he directly robbed Caesar on the flower boat; when he was fighting Haina on Kraigana Island, when faced with the enemy's strange abilities, he would not "think about the cycle" and make a "sure-fire strategy"... To put it bluntly, they deliberately made him "irregular" and "brainless". Lynch's speaking and behavioral style, while trying not to deviate too much from the protagonist of the web novel, also tries to fit in with the atmosphere of the Straw Hats.
D: If you put it this way, when Lynch faced the gang in the first chapter, he would have the kind of "seeking death" reaction...
Y: I wrote it that way on purpose (laughs), just to highlight a clever person.
D: Also, Lynch is sometimes said to be a benevolent pirate, because there are few books about how he slaughtered trash fish...
Y: If the writing is too **** and the number of people that Lynch killed is described head-on, it will feel inappropriate for the style of Straw Hat. So yes, the depiction of killing was deliberately avoided - just like in the comics.
D: Suddenly I feel so boring...
Y: (laughing) You have to talk about it from the perspective of writing. Writing a novel is inherently boring, especially when you already have the overall outline of the book at the beginning, which makes it even more boring. But looking at the story itself, when did Lynch himself decide to get on the ship? It's the battle at the top that ends. 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. Coupled with Luffy's persistence, it was natural for him to get on the ship - at least that's what I hope. the effect achieved.
D: There is no such effect.
Y: It seems so.
D: So back to the beginning - why follow the boat? This is too outdated. What's so good about Straw Hat's crappy ship?
Y: I also hate the New World Chapter, especially Luffy after Big Mom Chapter, and even the entire Straw Hats. I don't feel the same internal smell as before.
D:?
Y: That’s why you miss the Straw Hats in the first half even more, isn’t it? If the Straw Hats in the first half and the Straw Hats in the second half are divided into Straw Hat A and Straw Hat B, then I think the reason why I want to write about the boat is that on the one hand, I feel that there are some things in the story of Straw Hat A. It would be better if it were done (for example, keeping Merry and bringing Rab), and Straw Hat B's terrible and unlikable story would only be better if it didn't happen at all, or if Straw Hat A replaced it. People's thoughts are clear... For example, just to make Luffy say that Xiaoyu is disgusting with her ability, and to make Luffy say that Oden is too naive, I didn't write uncomfortable...
D: Okay, okay, "I made these dumplings just for this bit of jealousy" is a bad joke...
D: You haven’t answered the previous question: Why follow the boat? Do you have any hobbies?
Y: I actually read very few Pirates fandoms. I have read Naruto the most, and I have written it; I like it the most among Dragon Ball fans, but I don’t read it much (because there are so few people who write about it), and I have written it myself, and I have written two more; about One Piece fans... I can still think of it. The ones that impressed me most were "One Piece: I Am a Devil" and the other was "One Piece: The Legend of the Mage"... Unfortunately (laughs), both of them are so-called "following the boat", Especially the latter. The protagonist of the latter also takes the risk first and then gets on the ship.
D: ...Are these two books dug out of ancient tombs?
Y: So I don’t see much. In addition, I have never written a pirate novel before. This is my first attempt. Is there any reason not to write a genre that I prefer?
D: Oh. So I wrote follow the boat. oh.
Y: When I decided to write about the boat flow, I encountered a very difficult problem.
D: Is this something that no one likes to see?
Y: Personally, I don’t really like the nanny-style protagonist who follows the ship. Although the above I am a demon and a mage legend, especially the mage legend, are a bit nanny... On the other hand, other pirate novels, even if they are not about ships, sometimes encounter plot characters who clearly have nothing to do with the protagonist. The protagonist will still go all the way to pay without asking for anything in return. This feeling is actually quite annoying.
D: Didn’t you say you read very few pirate novels?
Y: It’s true, but it’s not like I haven’t seen it before. Many of them are just glanced at casually and thrown away if they don’t like it, so they don’t leave much impression on their minds.
Y: Since I don’t like the protagonist who does this, I try to avoid similar feelings when I write. Take the plot in this book as an example. The design that I am most proud of is the arrangement of Momonosuke in the Wano Country Chapter. Subjectively, Lynch has never thought about targeting Momonosuke, a little brat. The fate that Momonosuke will fall into is closely related to the incident of Lynch killing 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, the plot in Windmill Village where Garp takes Shanks and the others to meet Ace. This is of course a plot I intentionally wrote, but on the surface it has nothing to do with Lynch. But if it weren't for Lynch, Tulip wouldn't have gone to Windmill Village alive. If it weren't for Tulip, Garp wouldn't have returned to his hometown in the East China Sea early, and he wouldn't have met Shanks who hadn't had time to leave. Now that Garp has met Shanks, the rest will fall into place...
D: Aren’t you talking about the ship when you pull so many hammers?
Y: Since I don’t like nanny-style protagonists, the first plan to kill her is to follow the boat’s approach from the beginning of the story. I followed the boat from the beginning and wrote one or two million words. It seemed a bit difficult not to take care of the babysitter.
Y: On the other hand, with this method of following the ship at the beginning, there will be a problem that is difficult to deal with: Should the BOSS encountered be fought by Luffy or by the protagonist? Call Luffy, then why is the protagonist here? Give it to the protagonist. The limelight and experience have been given to the protagonist. What did Luffy do here? ―And if you choose to follow the ship, it is obviously because you like the Straw Hats, but in turn you want the protagonist to **** Luffy's BOSS and experience pack, steal the limelight and grab the highlight moment. This 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 flow and don’t like to write about the flow of the boat, haven’t you noticed? This subject matter is inherently deformed in online articles!
Y: You can’t just give up when you encounter a problem, right? Think about it again. Then we need to consider another question: When the protagonist wants to get on the ship, what range should his strength be positioned in? If the protagonist's strength is less than or equal to that of Luffy and Zoro when he gets on the ship, then this is obviously a way of writing that they grow together - but this will lead to the fact that if the protagonist's growth rate is not as fast as that of Luffy and Zoro, he will look a little useless and his strength is not as good. , then obviously the quality of the monsters on the road is not as good as Lusuo, and the highlight moments and BOSS are handed over to Luffy. Although I personally don’t think there is anything wrong, but I also know that it is definitely not suitable for the reading habits of online books; and if the protagonist It is even more nonsense that the growth rate of Lusuo is faster than that of Lusuo. In this case, what is the meaning of Lusuo's existence? The characteristics of these two characters, Luffy and Zoro, lie in fighting. Characters who lose their characteristics will be boring...
D: You make it sound like Lynch is not as powerful as Lu Suo...
Y: When it exceeds too much, it doesn’t 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 after the battle on top. After officially boarding the ship, the protagonist only participates in the second half of the new world process.
D: Have I lost my memory? How do I remember that I also wrote the first half?
Y: Because I really want to write. I mentioned it in my acceptance speech, how could Meili just give up? ? ?
Y: But this also raises another new problem: since it has been decided that the protagonist will officially board the ship after the top, then obviously the protagonist’s strength is already in the first echelon at that time, but we still have to write the first half of it. Story, in this case, will the protagonist board the ship before the New World Chapter, or in the first half? If it's the latter, the nanny seems to be the protagonist...
D: Doesn’t Lynch stop being a nanny now? He directly upgraded Luffy and his group to the full level without taking care of themselves...
Y: If you take a closer look, isn't it because Lynch didn't want to be a nanny and felt that it would be boring, so he spent a year to upgrade everyone to the full level?
D:?
Y:?
Y: (laughing) It’s precisely because Lynch is too strong that he has enough time to give up all the bosses in the second half to Luffy. It’s also precisely because Luffy has directly reached the full level, so he doesn’t need Lynch. Go out of your way to help with the BOSS.
D: If you give up all the bosses in the second half to...then there will only be one Kaido? Oh, and a black beard. Auntie and Dover have been booked a long time ago, Caesar on Ice and Fire Island is gone, Dressrosa is not going, and Zou Island is not going either...
Y: It was precisely because they knew that the Straw Hats would not go to Zou in the follow-up, so Lynch and Robin went there in advance and got the red stone; it was precisely because they did not want to write the Tokushima chapter, so Lynch solved it in advance After discovering the hidden dangers of Tokushima, he went to the North Sea to kill Doflamingo... This is actually a bit like the "looking for trouble" type I mentioned above, but after all, it is not to help the plot character for free, but to find trouble for nothing. I just trampled someone to death without causing any trouble...so I felt okay. The former is a pure white benefit for the protagonist, and the latter can also gain some combat experience and the like.
Y: Back to the topic just now. What is before us now is this situation: when the New World chapter comes on board, the protagonist must be extremely strong, preferably to the point of transcendence; I really want to write the first half of the story, but to be honest, I The impression is very good, and I don't think there is any need to make huge changes - but instead of making changes, I need a reason. My first reaction was: wouldn’t it be nice to give the protagonist a reason not to act casually?
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 entirely designed for boarding?
Y: Let’s divide the protagonist into two people! It's such a simple idea. So to write it like this, the other protagonist must temporarily go offline, otherwise there is no reason to think of a way to solve the reason why he can't take action casually, and just stay on the ship... At that time, I happened to be watching the fifth JOJO animation Golden Wind, and I felt The avatar 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 to be "related" to Robin and Luffy, hoping to reduce the discomfort of boarding the ship later; why do we meet Robin at the beginning and only have Robin as a companion for a long time? In fact, it is to pave the way for the protagonist to drop out in the mid-term. The original plan was to attract the World Government to pursue Robin because of his identity being exposed... However, after reading this, it seems that this point is not convincing enough, and there is no way to let the protagonist. I was disconnected and had no choice but to introduce Im in advance. In terms of setting, Lynch is a fan of Robin. I'm sorry that I'm not. I like all the beautiful characters in One Piece. But unfortunately, in the plot arrangement of this book, the heroine at the beginning can only choose from Robin and Na. As for Misato, Nami is obviously not as suitable as Robin. It was actually an accident that the Empress became the second heroine... When I wrote about Nine Snakes, I suddenly remembered this thing. Because of the heart-throb setting of the Empress, I was able to convince myself and let Lynch, who had no harem mentality, embrace her. Because only the exceptional empress has a slight possibility for Robin to accept it. Other female characters, such as Haina, Ayu, Nami, Shirahoshi... No matter how much I think about it, I have no choice but to forget it.
D: ...I haven’t recovered from that sentence that the protagonist must be disconnected.
D: Speaking of which, do you have a habit of torturing your master? The last book was a torture, and this one is coming again. Is it going to be finished?
Y: Regarding this point, I can only say that I couldn’t stand the early stages of the previous book... This book, as mentioned above, has a lot of explanations, and the purpose is not to torture the protagonist. But to make Lynch's body go offline. I also spent as much time as possible during the period when Lynch was offline...
D: One of Robin's only character labels is "Nicole Robin's ten years of autism". You call this nourishment...
Y: It can only make her autistic. Should it be written like this: the protagonist is sitting in jail, 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 it would not be inconsistent to write it at this time. For the same reason, I think the plot must also be unfolded from Robin's perspective... If you put the perspective on Lynch's side, after ten years in prison, he looked up and saw that his wife was leading a group of people. Come to find yourself in a lively manner. The look and feel is a bit strange. Considering that after writing this way, some people even joined the group to rant about "cuckolding" and "giving away my wife" and other arguments that are difficult for me to understand, I really can't imagine what it would be like if I skipped Robin's perspective and only wrote about Lynch. Reaction...
D: In short, in one sentence: You want to write about the boat, but now this is the only way you can think of and are willing to write the way you like to write about the boat, is that right?
Y: Pretty much.
D: In that case, why didn’t you indicate in your profile that you were following a boat?
Y: In that case, there will inevitably be a situation like this: people who want to read Follow the Boat come in because of the introduction, and read tens of thousands of words, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of words, why the **** haven’t Follow the Boat yet? , anxious to death? On the other hand, I also have this idea after all: 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 watch the second half when they get on the ship. , it’s easier to accept... Taking a step back, even from a utilitarian point of view, if you mark "Following the Boat" in the introduction, someone might boo "It's boring, anyway, the back is following the boat, the front looks better." The less interesting it is." If I receive feedback like this all day long, I doubt whether I can finish writing this book.
D: It sounds so nice, don’t you just want to trick more people into coming in to see it?
Y: It’s okay if you insist on saying so. I would also like to apologize to the readers who cannot accept it and are "hurt" even after reading this. I really didn’t mean it subjectively, and I feel a little helpless that even though I am a fan of One Piece, I regard elements such as "following the boat" and "leaning towards the Straw Hats" as smelly **** that I am afraid of avoiding and that requires special warnings... There is a trend. To put it bluntly, when I wrote this book, I felt quite tired of the One Piece theme...
D: Will you stop writing pirate stories in the future?
Y: I will write two more books.
D:?
Y: (laughing) This is an idea I came up with when I was upset in the second half of writing this book. I used Lily to give birth to Lynch at different points in time to create two other fan stories. The general direction of the two books. I almost thought about the ending without paying attention. It would be a pity not to write it down. In particular, the title and introduction of one of the volumes have been finalized, ["Commodore Qilin, why did you choose such a remote South China Sea branch instead of the naval headquarters in Marineland? I think everyone knows that with you His talent can easily pass Marine Fando's enlistment test. ""Because it's closer to home." Even just for this introduction, I want to develop it.
Y: But it shouldn’t be written right after the next book. Because when I say I’m bored with the pirate theme, I mean it sincerely… Take a breath first.
Y: As for the third One Piece book, I decided to wait until Oda finishes drawing One Piece and the manga story is settled.
D: You think a lot. Okay, I have written so many testimonials, which should be enough to push the word count of this book to three million. Anyway, there is no charge for testimonials, so there is no need to add any more. Let’s stop here and make a final summary!
Y: (laughing) According to the set outline, I didn’t deviate from the track, and I successfully finished writing a novel. This is different from the previous writing that was done in a haphazard manner and has never been done before. experience (especially after I finished playing Haina, I thoroughly improved the follow-up outline at that time, so the update speed suddenly became steady and fast after that). In short, I am very happy to have finished writing this book. .
D: What else?
Y: Chapter serialization is such a genius idea! Mr. Luo from next door said that this thing is very easy to use! The "Darkness Attack" chapter at the top of the battle is my favorite. The chapter chapter serialization and the main text are perfectly synchronized. It's awesome!
D: What else?
Y: Follow the boat, only idiots write this. I'm an idiot!
D:……
Y: It’s great that this is my first pirate novel about the flow of ships. See you in the next book!
