One Piece has a surprisingly large number of supporting characters who have appeared over the series' two decades of existence. Many have been forgotten because they appeared early in the story, while some have remained secondary characters closely tied to the lore's past. The character that will be the subject of this article is an omnipresent character who hasn't had much screen time but is an exceptionally important background force, as he is responsible for printing wanted posters and all the news. This is, of course, Morgan "Big News," and in this article, we'll tell you what you need to know about him and his role in One Piece.

"Big News" Morgans is the series' news mogul

Big News Morgan was born in a place on the Red Line. After growing up, he founded his own newspaper, introducing News Coo to disseminate information over great distances. Thirty-six years before the beginning of the story, he was already an established journalist and had written an article on the God Valley incident.

During the Whole Cake Island Saga, Morgans is invited to Charlotte Pudding and Vinsmoke Sanji's wedding. He arrives on Whole Cake Island aboard a ship and is greeted along with the other Lords of Hell by Perospero and Smoothie. Later, like the other guests, he offers a chest to Big Mom, who decides to open it at the banquet planned as a post-wedding event.

The Empress then shows them the pearl chest, stating that she intends to open it with the others. He witnessed all the events that occurred at the so-called "wedding" and of course reported on them, but this was only a brief glimpse into his past; we focus on what happened to him in the Wano Country Arc, as these events showed how important Morgans is.

While aboard a ship with Vivi, Wapol contacts the World Economy Newspaper, claiming to have secret information regarding the recently concluded Levely. The king then asks Vivi where she is going, and when the princess replies that she is heading to the Kingdom of Eigis, Wapol tells Morgans, who replies that he will approach under the pretext of seeking news. Wapol tells him that he owes him a favor, then Morgans points out that it is excellent news that the World Government is targeting a king's head.

He then accommodates Wapol and Nefertari Vivi aboard his flying newsroom. While the journalists are busy writing articles on the recent events, Morgans receives an envelope from the World Government containing a large check to keep the incident secret, but he refuses, saying to return it to the sender. At this point, an undercover Cipher Pol agent reveals his identity but is beaten by Morgans, who then decides to relocate his headquarters and continue with the planned publication.

He then learns that Luffy, Law, and Kidd defeated Kaido and Big Mom, which is why the three of them were awarded a new bounty of 3,000,000,000 Berries each. He therefore refuses to remove the D from the first man's name on the poster and not to use the photo taken by CP0 as requested by the Five Elders. He comments that Luffy's appearance is mystical, asking News Coo to spread the news far and wide, and pointing out that CP0's last report to Wano spoke of the arrival of Big Mom's ship.

Finally, he states that he will not allow the manipulation of information because the world is changing and facts are the only thing that matters, being delighted to experience something like this.

Aboard the flying editorial office of the World Economy Newspaper, Morgans is informed that the World Government wants to assassinate Vegapunk, which he considers a scandal like what happened to Ohara, pointing out that it will be worse for them as the scientist is very famous and has developed all forms of energy. He also adds that Luffy is with him in Egghead, which is why he decides to write an article in which he will accuse the Straw Hat Emperor of kidnapping the scientist, thus entering into war with the Marines.

Believing the World Government will appreciate this, he orders his subordinates to ask for a contribution. Vivi, however, calls this idiocy, as Luffy would never do it, adding that things like this are the reason society sucks. Wapol asks the princess to lower her voice in case the World Government is listening and reminds her that Morgans is hosting them.

The latter replies that until the day before he had been complaining and asks him not to interfere in his work, because he is the one who decides if and when to shake the world, explaining that it does not matter whether the news contained in the newspapers is or is not truth or lies, because they constitute a form of entertainment.

Morgans then intercepts a conversation between Egghead and Mary Geoise, which he listens to with Vivi and Wapol: the three are astonished when they hear Luffy declare to the Five Elders that he is the future king of the pirates and that he has allied himself with Vegapunk. , in addition to asking them to withdraw the Marine fleet, the Marine fleet is concerned about York's safety.
