Chapter 701: The Most Familiar Stranger

"Oh, you want to hear the inspirational story of how I embarked on the path to becoming a professional cartoonist?"

"Uh, sort of, but more precisely how you transformed from a taxi driver into a cartoonist overnight."

"Well, I did drive a taxi for a while, but not for long before I started serializing One Piece."

"On Shonen Jump?"

"That's right."

"1996, Shonen Jump, you were serializing One Piece in Japanese?"

"The magazine saw my potential and paired me with a Japanese translator," Qi Yu said, as if this wasn't the first time he'd answered this question.

"Or did you plagiarize the work that was supposed to be published by Eiichiro Oda in 1997?" Ma Youyou said.

Qi Yu was shocked, "How did you know?"

He didn't even try to hide it, which surprised both Ma Lu and Ma Youyou.

Ma Lu said, "So One Piece isn't really drawn by you, are you a Time Traveler?"

"What's a Time Traveler?" The perplexed look on Qi Yu's face didn't seem feigned.
