Marine Trash Can G-5!

In Marine Headquarters's office at Marineford, Admiral Sengoku.

At this moment, the Admiral Sengoku was dealing with his work, while nearby, Ortolan was tossing a draft of a document around, teasing the Admiral Sengoku's beloved goat.

"By the way, Admiral, what about what I told you last time? What have you thought about?" Ortolan suddenly asked.

The Admiral Sengoku didn't even look up, asking with a hint of doubt, "What is it?"

"A whole roasted lamb?" Ortolan said matter-of-factly.

The Admiral Sengoku said calmly, "It seems I need to send you to the New World as soon as possible, otherwise, if you stay here, my sheep will be lost sooner or later!"

"Hahahaha..." Ortolan laughed loudly, then fed the manuscript to the goat, plopped down on the sofa, and poured himself a cup of tea.

Ortolan sat leisurely on the sofa, sipping tea, while the Admiral Sengoku buried himself in piles of documents, working hard. The scene made one think Ortolan was the leader.

About ten minutes later, the Admiral Sengoku finally finished processing the documents in his hand. He sighed wearily and said, "That bastard Garp, if he were willing to be Admiral, I wouldn't have to work so hard..."

Ortolan smiled and said, "Stop focusing on Mr. Garp. Do you think I have a chance?"

The Admiral Sengoku glanced at Ortolan, picked up his teacup, and said, "You're still a long way off. If you want to become Admiral, you need to have grassroots experience. This time, you're being sent out to be a base commander. You'd better put in the effort and achieve good results. If there's a real opportunity in the future, you'll be more competitive."

"I came here today to inquire about this matter. How exactly will my posting be arranged? Will it be like Sakazuki's, like G-1?" Ortolan asked.

The importance of G-1 is beyond doubt. It was an alternative headquarters in Admiral Sengoku's plan. If anything happened to Marineford, the Marines could immediately "take over" G-1.

However, Ortolan didn't really want to go to a place like G-1. Firstly, it was too close to the Red Line, just like Marineford, and right under Mary Geoise's nose, making many things difficult to do.

At the same time, G-1 also has a development plan that has been determined in advance, which is to move closer to the concept of the headquarters.

Moreover, there is a group of veteran Marines there, making it inconvenient for Ortolan to mix in and build his own crew.

At present, Ortolan thinks it would be best to let him directly undertake the construction of a Marine Base, and the Marines already has related plans.

"You want G-1?" the Admiral Sengoku asked.

"To be honest, I don't really want to. The situation in G-1 is already set. It's unlikely that we'll make any mistakes, and it's also highly unlikely that we'll get any credit," Ortolan immediately shook his head and said.

"The G-1 model is moving closer to headquarters. If you work there, it will help your dream of becoming Admiral," Admiral Sengoku said after thinking for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Ortolan hesitated slightly. What he said was true. It was precisely because G-1 aligned with the headquarters' development concept that it felt even more like a 'training of Admiral '.

Seeing Ortolan's hesitant look, Sengoku smiled and said, "Regarding your transfer to the New World, there are currently three options. The first is G-1, which we are talking about now. The second is that you will be responsible for the construction of a Marine Base in Abyss from scratch. The third... is a bit special, but if you can achieve great results here, it will better demonstrate your abilities."

"What's the third one?" Ortolan asked directly.

"You know G-5, right?" Sengoku raised an eyebrow.

"Trash can!?" Ortolan asked Sengoku with some surprise.

Sengoku's face stiffened, and he quickly said, "Watch your words. How can you call your colleagues 'garbage cans'?"

Although he gave Ortolan a lecture, judging from Sengoku's expression, he clearly didn't know what G-5 was. In fact, it was undoubtedly the most special place in the Marines base.

Because G-5 Marines is located at the forefront of the Marines's deployment in the New World, it can be said that it is directly facing the pirate forces, and the pressure is enormous. That's one reason. Secondly, it is what Ortolan just meant by "trash can".

G-5 Marines was formed by a group of troublemakers in the Marines. It can be said that this is a tradition that has been developing for more than ten years. Sending the most unruly and troublesome Marines personnel to G-5 is a way to keep them out of sight and out of mind, while also keeping them at the forefront of the New World!

It's full of thugs from the Marines, whose behavior is comparable to that of pirates, and they don't have a good reputation within the Marines.

This is also why the Sengoku said, "If you achieve results there, it will further demonstrate your ability."

Of course, these alone are not enough to make G-5 the most bizarre and special military base under the Marines. The most outrageous thing about this base is that, apart from the necessary armed logistics supplies, the Marine Headquarters does not even provide it with any military funding!

That's right, in the entire Marines system, only the G-5 is completely self-sufficient.

This is why G-5's style is similar to that of pirates, because they also make a living by plundering, except that they basically rob pirates!

Although no military funds are allocated, the economic performance of G-5 is exceptionally good. All the Marines serving in G-5, from top to bottom, are incredibly wealthy. After all, how much money they have depends entirely on their own abilities, and their initiative is immediately apparent!

Thus, a group of troublemakers, with their military budget still self-sufficient, were incredibly unruly. It was fortunate that they couldn't build their own warships or produce weapons and ammunition, and that their personnel needed to be replenished by the headquarters from time to time by "sweeping in the trash"; otherwise, they could have easily broken away at any time.

Thinking about these things, Ortolan's interest was immediately piqued. Wasn't this exactly what he wanted?

Although the base commanders in various locations wield great power and feel like local emperors, they are still subject to the control of headquarters to varying degrees, and the control is quite significant.

Only G-5 is truly far from the emperor's reach; the orders from headquarters are useless there!

I can hit whoever I want, and I can rob whoever I want. If you don't like it, shoot me! Without us on the front lines, do you think the other base commanders would be able to have it so easy?

Soon, Ortolan snapped out of his reverie and looked at Admiral Sengoku Taisho with suspicion, "You want to send me to G-5? You don't mean you don't want to pay me, do you?"

"Leaving aside the rest of G-5, the base commander certainly won't have his benefits withheld!" Sengoku glared at Ortolan.

If even the base commander is excluded from the Marines's system, can the G-5 still be called the Marines?

"Go to G-5, and if you can build a force with excellent discipline..." At this point, Admiral Sengoku seemed to realize he was being too difficult, so he paused, "Ahem, let's not talk about discipline for now. If you can build a strong and disciplined elite force there that obeys headquarters' orders and establish itself on the front lines of the New World, that will be enough to demonstrate your ability."

"Isn't G-5 already quite powerful?" Ortolan frowned, seizing the key point as he asked.

As the Marine Base at the forefront of the New World, G-5's location is not static. Wherever the Marines front line is, they will be based there, facing the most severe pirate situation. Although they have a bad reputation, their combat power is indeed among the strongest in various bases. They are all desperate people who lick blood from the blade!

"A little over a month ago, the main force of G-5 was wiped out by Bullet," the Admiral Sengoku said in a somewhat somber tone.

Rouge was giving birth at the time, and Ortolan hadn't been following these reports, so he was somewhat surprised. "What about the losses?"

"The losses are huge; it's almost like the entire unit was wiped out. Former G-5 base commander Vice Admiral Wolf was seriously injured and disabled, and can no longer serve. So it's very necessary to send a capable and outstanding person to rebuild this elite force," said Admiral Sengoku.

I've never met Vice Admiral Wolf Ortolan, but I've heard the Momonga mention him. They say he's the idol of Yuberman and Dalmatian, Zoan type Devil Fruit user in the form of a giant gray wolf. He's incredibly strong and is one of the Elite Vice Admiral vice admirals.

Judging from what the Admiral Sengoku said, he is probably going to withdraw from the front-line Marines forces. This is the cruel reality of the Marines. The treatment is good, but the risk of injury and sacrifice is also extremely high. Even a high-ranking officer like Vice Admiral can fall down at any time.

While somewhat surprised by G-5's tragic fate, Ortolan also keenly noticed that after Roger's execution, Bullet had truly begun to let loose...
