The next day.
Japan.
The day Shōnen Publishing's manga magazine went on sale.
In the editorial department of Shōnen Publishing, everyone was present.
"Teacher Tanaka."
"I'm counting on you."
"Good luck."
"It all depends on today."
"The whole of Asia is watching us now."
"Yes, there definitely won't be any problems. Everyone has seen Tanaka-sensei's continuation."
"Hahaha, I think it's better than Zhang Ye's."
"That's true. Teacher Tanaka is a professional cartoonist, while Zhang Ye is at most an amateur hobbyist. How can he compare? What does he have to compete with us? "
Everyone cheered each other on. Some were nervous, but some were looking forward to it.
The most excited person had to be Tanaka Kentaro. He was the cartoonist that Shōnen Publishing had invited to continue writing One Piece. In the Japanese comics world, Tanaka Kentaro was not the most famous, nor had he produced any top-notch comics before. Otherwise, he would not have taken on this job. However, Tanaka Kentaro's drawing skills and foundation were recognized as one of the top cartoonists in the comics world. He was also especially good at imitating.
In the past, none of his works had been very popular because his drawing style was not obvious and he did not have much creativity. From his works, one could always see the shadow of him imitating the excellent works of others. But it was different now. The continuation of One Piece required him to imitate, to be similar, the more similar, the better. As such, there was probably no one in the entire comics world more suitable than Teacher Tanaka. Tanaka Kentaro himself was very willing to take on this job. To him, this was an opportunity, a great opportunity to reach the heavens in a single bound!
What kind of work was that?
It was the Pirate King!
It was a national cartoon!
He knew that if he painted it well, his name would go down in history!
At this moment, Tanaka Kentaro's mood was blooming like a flower. Zhang Ye, oh Zhang Ye, since you're going to be a eunuch, then don't blame me. Haha, I, Tanaka, will be taking advantage of this great deal!
In the morning.
Shōnen Publishing will be serialized and sold.
The Asian people were looking forward to it!
…
Japan.
"It's out!"
"Got it!"
"I'll look at the pirates first."
"Wow, not bad."
"Yeah, it's quite similar."
"Is this really a continuation? Not bad! "
"Hahahaha, well done!"
"Tanaka-sensei is awesome!"
"Just like that! I'll be relying on you in the future! "
…
Korea.
"Haha, well drawn!"
"There will be no need for Zhang Ye in the future!"
"Yeah, draw Naruto and Slam Dunk too!"
"We definitely have to continue. If the response to the continuation of One Piece is good, then we'll have to continue the other six cartoons. I heard that they're already looking for a mangaka."
"Haha, Zhang Ye must be dumb!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to draw it. Someone else will!"
“GOGOGO!”
…
China.
"Teacher Zhang is dumbfounded!"
"He must be dumbfounded!"
"Haha, I'm delighted!"
"To be honest, Tanaka's drawing is pretty good."
"It's fine as long as there's something to see."
"Don't bother with that damned eunuch."
"Teacher Zhang, please go. We don't need you anymore!"
"Hehe."
…
Asia was in a heated discussion.
The people cheered.
The sequel to One Piece had garnered a lot of attention.
The officials, the media, and the people all had good reviews.
Although there were some parts that were definitely not perfect, as it was not Zhang Ye's original version, this continued version was still acceptable. At least it was above the passing mark, so everyone gave it a very high evaluation.
Shōnen Publishing was filled with jubilation!
The crisis had been resolved!
Things were finally back on track!
Tanaka Kentaro was also overjoyed!
I'm on fire!
I'm on fire!
I've finally made a name for myself!
In an instant, Tanaka Kentaro's reputation soared!
The news kept popping up.
"One Piece's continuation is a success!"
"The people are impressed!"
"According to reports, Detective Conan has begun looking for a mangaka to continue the series!"
"Gundam releases news that it will be continued!"
"Will the biggest eunuch controversy in history be quelled just like that?"
The situation was gradually calming down.
Everyone thought that this was the end of the matter. One Piece would continue to be updated, and the story of Luffy and his companions would continue. The other comics would also be continued. But no one could have expected that at this moment, Zhang Ye's Studio, which had not made a move for the past few days, would issue a statement!
Zhang Ye had made a move!
With this move, he stirred the waters even more!
The studio's statement was none other than the new chapter of One Piece!
Zhang Ye, who was already a eunuch, had fucking left the palace!
Asia immediately blew up!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
"Holy shit!"
"What did I just see?"
"Zhang Ye has updated!"
"One Piece has been updated!"
"Damn, didn't you say you weren't drawing anymore? Didn't you say you were too busy with work and couldn't draw anymore? Your grandpa! Who are you lying to! "
"How did it get updated, damn it!"
"Motherfucker, it's so well drawn!"
"I've finished reading it. It's so touching!"
"It's indeed much better than Tanaka's. Furthermore, the plot is going in a completely different direction!"
"Isn't this a face smacking!"
"Yeah, I thought that Tanaka's continuation was pretty good, but it really can't compare to the original version. The plot is also different, so Zhang Ye's is still better! This fellow's character isn't that great, but his ability is the real deal. Over in Japan, they still claim that Tanaka is a professional mangaka and that his continuation is definitely better than an amateur like Zhang Ye. Hur hur, everyone knows that they're just lying to themselves. One Piece was created by Zhang Ye in the first place, so who could draw it better than him? Isn't that bullsh * t! "
"Continue updating!"
"Hurry up and update!"
Japan.
Korea.
China.
The latest news about One Piece spread like wildfire!
Countless people's hopes were rekindled as they cheered.
And then — and then there was no more and then!
One Piece had only been serialized for one chapter before it was canceled again!
Zhang Ye and Zhang Ye's Studio returned to silence. There was no more movement from them!
It was only at this moment that everyone finally understood what Zhang Ye's intentions were. All of them were so angry that they wished they could tear Zhang Ye to pieces!
…
Shōnen Publishing.
The editorial department's staff were dumbfounded!
Tanaka finished reading the original version of the latest chapter in a daze. Then he spat out a mouthful of blood!
"That bastard!"
"Bastard! He's such a bastard! "
"This fellow is too hateful!"
"Zhang! Are you going to die or not! "
"Fuck your sister!"
"Teacher Tanaka, ignore him!"
"Right, continue drawing!"
Tanaka Kentaro had already started writing the second chapter, but now, he couldn't even put down a single stroke. Should he continue? Draw, my ass! He had already planned out the rest of the plot and was already in his rhythm. But who could have fucking expected that Zhang Ye would actually come back to life? This fellow had actually updated the plot and even drew a completely different plot from Tanaka Kentaro's! Zhang Ye's original version of the latest news had already spread. The Japanese people had all gone to watch the China pirated version. If Tanaka ignored Zhang Ye and continued to follow his previous continuation, how many people would buy it? The basis of the continuation was based on the original story, and he had already broken away from it! But if Tanaka followed Zhang Ye's latest line of thought and continued writing? Then the continuation would have to be overturned. Moreover, who knew if Zhang Ye would fucking come back to life again the next day! Even if he didn't come back to life every day, if he did it every now and then, you wouldn't fucking be able to take it!
He could do it!
He would definitely do something like that!
So Tanaka cried. He couldn't continue drawing anymore!
How could he continue drawing?
At POO Studios.
His cell phone rang.
"Teacher Koi."
"About the continuation, you guys should find someone else."
"Why? Didn't you agree to it? "
"Let's — let's just forget about it."
At Shūkansha Studios.
"Teacher Yoshida, that won't do!"
"You guys should find someone better."
"We've already agreed on it."
"Hai, can't you all tell? No matter who comes to continue the continuation, no matter which of Zhang Ye's comics they choose to continue, he will always have a way to make it impossible for you to continue drawing! "
On the same day.
Kentaro Tanaka resigned from his work on the continuation of One Piece.
On the same day, Naruto, Gundam, Detective Conan, and many of the other cartoonists who had already negotiated for the continuation of their work also rejected this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
They couldn't draw it at all!
With Zhang Ye's "coming back to life" method?
None of them could draw it!
It was only now that they finally understood what kind of a hooligan he was. Zhang Ye's shamelessness had reached a point where it would anger even the gods. You're not going to continue drawing it, but you're not going to let others continue drawing it? You're still coming to make trouble? I've never seen anything like this before! I've really never seen anything like this before!
All of the continuation plans were put on hold!
The seven comics continued to be canceled indefinitely!
The people were cursing like crazy!
"He's doing it on purpose! He's doing it on purpose! "
"Zhang Ye! You're so wicked! "
"I curse this fellow to fail sooner or later!"
"You won't be able to find another person as shameless as him in all of Asia!"
"It's over. There's nothing to see again!"
"Motherfucker, everything has been ruined by Zhang Ye!"
"This fellow is so infuriating!"
"I'm so pissed off! Ahhhh! "
"They've really fucking canceled it this time. They can't even continue writing anymore!"
The scolding that had died down earlier erupted again. This time, it was ten times, a hundred times more explosive. Zhang Ye was once again surrounded by the Asian people!
