Momonga: A Love Rival Showdown? I Like It!

Ortolan, who was in G-5, had no idea that he, a high-ranking official, almost fell from power because of Rosinante, but fortunately his protector, Sengoku, was strong enough!

G-5 spent nearly two months peacefully. During these two months, many things happened, such as the Donquixote Family's looting of the Celestial Gold, which ultimately could not be suppressed by the World Government.

The news spread to the high seas, and in an instant, Doflamingo's reputation as a pirate was greatly enhanced.

Pirates fighting pirates, pirates fighting Marines, etc., are not considered big news or sensational stories.

Doflamingo is so ruthless that he took down six Celestial Gold escort ships in one fell swoop. He's truly one of a kind!

The World Government also reacted quickly. Although they suffered some loss of face, thanks to the proper handling of the CP Agency, the Celestial Gold was eventually returned to the Donquixote Family.

In recognition of Doflamingo's ability to "admit his mistakes and correct them," the World Government bestowed upon him the title of Heavenly Yaksha (Donquixote Shichibukai Doflamingo).

But everyone knows the truth of the matter.

With this, Doflamingo became the fourth Shichibukai the high seas, enjoying unparalleled fame!

As for Ortolan, he also received some gifts, including tributes from Doflamingo, as well as Devil Fruit and gold bars from Spandine.

It is said that Spandine performed well this time and was highly praised by the World Government. The Commander-in-Chief of the CP Agency even held a special commendation meeting for Spandine, patting Spandine on the shoulder in public and saying that he was the pillar of the CP Agency and the World Government, and that he really stepped up when needed!

The future is definitely bright!

Having secured his Shichibukai, Doflamingo now possesses more legitimate means to exploit Flevance's interests. Currently, Flevance is in utter chaos, with large-scale riots breaking out domestically, and Flevance Three Kingdoms neighboring countries have imposed a blockade on its borders.

The domestic aristocratic ruling class had already begun transferring personnel and assets, and had collectively fled.

On the Flevance' side, the Donquixote Family was making preliminary preparations, while Doflamingo returned to the New World. During this time, he also communicated with Ortolan, saying that he planned to take action against Dressrosa.

Dressrosa is not within G-5's jurisdiction, nor has it paid any protection money to Ortolan, so Ortolan doesn't bother with anything related to Dressrosa.

But according to Doflamingo's plan, he intends to extort 200 million Belly from Dressrosa.

This puzzled Ortolan, because in his memory, when Doflamingo attacked Dressrosa, he only extorted 100 million Belly, right?

Could it be because he extorted 200 million from Doflamingo, and now he wants to get that money back from somewhere else?

However, Ortolan didn't concern himself with these unrelated matters.

He was more focused on his business with Doflamingo. He had already made arrangements in Totto Land and developed the Calm Belt route. The first batch of warships launched consisted of five ships, all capable of crossing the Calm Belt. At present, the smuggling business from the North Blue across the Calm Belt to Totto Land Totto Land was ready.

Ortolan plans to test the waters with the first wave of amphibious warships. If there are no problems, the Shipbuilding Island will then proceed with the conversion of the ships into armed transport vessels. As a result, the business of selling pirate warships will have to be stopped.

All the pirate ships captured by G-5 were uniformly modified and equipped with the ability to cross the Calm Belt, and then formed into a transport fleet to be responsible for the stable operation of this business.

Ortolan did not handle these projects individually; he assigned them all to Colonel Tesoro.

Today, the G-5 Marine Base is calm and the weather is clear. A warship from the Ministry of Defense is slowly heading towards the G-5 naval port to anchor.

At the port, Gion happened to be free today, Smoker Logia type, the junior student from the second branch who had been brought over by Ortolan.

The flying Momonga was also free and was waiting at the port with Gion.

Earlier, the Momonga had some inappropriate thoughts about Gion, but when he came to the academy, he realized that Gion had no interest in him at all, but was very interested in Ortolan.

The Momonga was a decisive fellow; he immediately abandoned the idea and never considered it again.

Because he graduated from the ranks of the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chicks with Tokikake, now in the entire G-5, only Tokikake is still the Clown, still fighting.

However, Tokikake this time, he has been following Issho to sweep away pirates and hasn't returned much.

"Gion, Devil Fruit?" the Momonga asked casually, a cigarette dangling from its mouth.

Gion shook her head and said, "I've put it away, but I haven't decided yet whether I want to become Devil Fruit or something..."

"That's the same ability as Kaido's. It should be a great improvement and help to you. Back then, Teacher Zephyr said you had the potential to be Admiral. If you become a Mythical Zoan user, becoming Admiral in our Marines in the future is practically guaranteed," Momonga remarked.

"Perhaps, but I don't have any particular attachment or pursuit regarding whether Admiral. If possible, I would like to become someone like Sister Tsuru in the future," Gion said with a smile.

Just then, the ship's gangway was lowered, Gion said with a smile, "Let's see what this troublesome junior who's giving headquarters a headache is really like..."

Gion had an expectant smile on her face, but after taking only two steps, she froze when she saw the figure coming down the gangway.

Huh? Rouge!?

That's right, the first ones to disembark from the ship were not Smoker, but Rouge and Robin, along with Ace, whom they were holding, who was looking around with wide eyes, full of curiosity about the world.

Smoker, behind them, thoughtfully reminded them to watch their step as they went down the stairs.

Upon seeing Gion, Rouge smiled and waved from a Gion, saying, "Gion, it's been a long time!"

Gion quickly realized what was happening and greeted Gion with a bright smile, but the Momonga beside her felt that Gion's aura seemed to have changed.

He even wondered if he had seen things wrong. Did he see a murderous aura in Gion's eyes?

"Could this be a chaotic scene? Rouge worried that Gion and Ortolan might get involved in something inappropriate while hanging out in G-5 for too long, so she's personally getting involved?" Momonga had a look of schadenfreude on his face, then slipped aside, took out Den Den Mushi, and started contacting Ortolan.

At this moment, Ortolan was in his office processing today's documents when the Momonga's Den Den Mushi came in. He answered calmly and asked, "What's up? Did you get that kid?"

"It's not just that kid, your wife and kids came looking for you, Ortolan," the Momonga said gloatingly.

"My wife?" Ortolan was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and said, "Rouge is here!?"

"Yeah, hahaha, are you surprised? Unexpected?" the Momonga laughed loudly.

Ortolan was also a little confused. Wait... what's going on?

Meanwhile, at the naval port dock, Smoker was just about to greet Gion when Gion waved and said, "Wait here for a moment, I have something to say to Ms. Rouge..."

When Gion said this, her tone was firm and unyielding. Smoker was instantly intimidated by her inexplicable aura and, without any sense of being a troublemaker, obediently nodded and said, "Yes, Gion- senpai!"

Rouge out and ruffled Robin's hair, then handed Ace to Robin, saying, "Robin-chan, why don't you wait for us up ahead? I need to have some private conversation with Gion."

The clever Robin also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Although the two beautiful women had gentle smiles on their faces and the weather was very sunny, he still felt a chill around him.

So Robin didn't dare linger and quickly left with Smoker she had already become familiar with.

After everyone else had left, Gion's smile quickly vanished, and she looked at Rouge with a gloomy gaze, asking, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh?" Rouge feigned confusion and said, "As a wife, is there a problem with coming to find your husband who is busy working away from home?"

Gion had only had some doubts at first, but these words revealed Rouge's thoughts without a doubt.

Gion said somewhat indignantly, "You and Ortolan aren't really husband and wife!"

"That was before. Now I want to make this marriage real!" Rouge said without backing down.

"You've barely had any contact with him, you could even say you don't know him at all, how could you do this? This is a betrayal of me, of Mr. Garp, and of Ortolan!" Gion angrily questioned.

"Perhaps I know him better than you think," Rouge calmly retorted before continuing, "I'm sorry, what I did was indeed somewhat betrayal of you, but I don't believe I betrayed Mr. Garp or Ortolan ..."

As Rouge said this, a hint of apology appeared in her eyes. She knew Gion's feelings and thoughts towards Ortolan, but now, she had taken advantage of Gion's feelings for her, which could indeed be considered a betrayal.

After a slight pause, Rouge said, "So, it's only you whom I can completely accept and acknowledge, Gion- san..."

Upon hearing this, Gion gritted her teeth and said, "I don't need your approval. In that case, let's see who has the best skills!"

Seeing Rouge nodded seriously and said, "I'm sorry, I will do my best."
