A Life Spreading Gossip on the Grand Line

Expected to go premium on the 19th. Thank you all for your support~ Q: What should you do if you transmigrate to a time several decades before Luffy was born? A: Join the Rocks Pirates and keep a low profile while you grow stronger. After the Rocks Pirates disband, build friendly relations with the World Government, the revolutionaries, and others. Then stick close to the Straw Hat kid and transform into a winner in life and the world's richest person :) * Erin was lucky enough to be chosen by the Career Planning System, just in time to catch the wave of transmigration into anime worlds. The System offered her several career options: pirate, Marine, pirate hunter, Marine hunter, and so on. She had watched One Piece and knew the waters here ran deep. She wasn't equipped to handle them. Becoming a pirate or a Marine were both bad choices. So after a brief moment of thought, she chose to become... a journalist! Not the kind of righteous reporter who risks her life on the front lines to expose the truth and the nobles' crimes. No, she chose to be a gossip reporter who made things up, with a pitch-black conscience. Unverified rumors from the fringes of the mainstream, pairing up people who had never met just to stir up gossip: the sort of stories where nothing but the punctuation could be trusted. But there were countless bigwigs on the seas. What if her gossip really did hurt their fragile feelings...? Erin came up with a plan. And so the bigwigs of the seas would finish reading the eye-watering World News, only to hear a subordinate report moments later: “That Erin who writes for the paper has sent another apology letter!” Erin: No way~ Surely no one actually wants to beat me up after reading an apology letter, right? Things to know before reading: 1. This isn't a story where the heroine is invincible from the start. It's a growth story where she will face setbacks. I wouldn't call her a strong female lead, so please don't assume she is one just because there's no romance and she focuses on her career T-T 2. Don't set your expectations too high. At heart, this is a lighthearted story. 3. The heroine will first join the Rocks Pirates. After the God Valley Incident, she'll become a gossip reporter. The story will include her surpassing Morgans to become the owner of the world's number-one newspaper company. 4. The original work doesn't provide much detail about the Rocks Pirates, so Rocks's personality will be largely invented, as will the pirate crew's internal power dynamics. I can't promise he'll match the image you have of him. 5. Uta will appear later in the story. I personally like her a lot, so if you don't, please be warned. That's all. If you don't like it, feel free to drop the story without telling me~ Blurb screenshot: 2023.8.6 Theme: Even gossipmongers need a conscience
