Only G-5 Bullies Others-No One Dares Bully G-5!

In the office of the G-5 base commander, Ortolan had just taken a lighter out of his pocket and was about to light the cigarette he was holding when the door was pushed open without any politeness.

Who is this person? Why are they showing such disrespect to me Ortolan?

Ortolan looked up at the doorway and saw Gion with a dark expression leading Smoker in from outside.

It's Gion? Is everything alright then?

Gion entered, she first saw the lighter in Ortolan's hand, which she had given him, which made her feel slightly happier. However, the next second, she noticed the tie around Ortolan's neck.

She knew Ortolan quite well; without even thinking, she knew that such a neatly tied tie couldn't possibly have been made by Ortolan himself—he didn't do that!

"Hmph!" Gion's newly risen good mood vanished instantly. She snorted coldly and stood in front of Ortolan: "Raise your head!"

Ortolan was a little confused and didn't even dare to light a cigarette. Gion raised his head with a puzzled look, holding a cigarette between his teeth.

Then, Gion raised her hand and untied Ortolan's tie, then tied it back on its own. "Your tie is tied crookedly, you don't care about the shape at all."

Ortolan????

Is it crooked? It was fine when I looked in the mirror just now.

However, he didn't think much of it, assuming that he had made some movement that had crooked his tie or something.

Gion tied Ortolan's tie before asking, "Why is Rouge here?"

Ortolan casually replied, "They said Robin and the others missed me..."

After a pause, Ortolan proudly raised his head and said, "But I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like Rouge seems to miss me a little too? Could it be because my handsome charm is too irresistible?"

No sooner had he finished speaking Gion suddenly grabbed Ortolan's tie, tightening the collar so much that it nearly choked Ortolan.

"Cough cough cough..." Ortolan coughed incessantly, struggling to say, "Hey, are you trying to murder your superior?"

Gion looked at Ortolan with icy eyes and asked, "You don't have any ulterior motives towards Rouge, do you?"

Ortolan, being an honest man, struggled as he said, "I'm a man, you know? Isn't it reasonable for me to have some unusual thoughts now and then?"

"Have you ever had any inappropriate thoughts about me?" Gion asked Gion gritted teeth.

These words startled Ortolan, who stopped struggling and looked up into Gion's eyes. Gion's eyes held anger, grievance, and even a hint of tears.

This made Ortolan suddenly feel a pang of heartache, and his tone softened as he earnestly said, "Of course I do. Like I said, you're so beautiful and have such a great figure. As a man, it's perfectly reasonable for me to have some inappropriate thoughts, isn't it?"

To be precise, although Ortolan wasn't focused on matters of the heart and was more concerned with his career, he actually had some inappropriate thoughts about beautiful women. This wasn't limited to Gion and Rouge; he even considered Stussy, the queen of the Pleasure District.

And he felt there was nothing wrong with his thinking, right? Could it possibly be illegal?

Gion was a little confused when she heard Ortolan's words. In her mind, Ortolan was like a block of wood, but today, after being questioned, she actually heard him say that she was beautiful and had a good figure, and that he had other thoughts. It was really a bit strange.

For a moment, Gion, who was already feeling irritable and somewhat annoyed, was left only with shyness and embarrassment.

Her gaze drifted, no longer looking at Ortolan. She loosened her grip, straightened her tightly clenched tie, and mumbled, "If you want to... if you want to... you can be bolder. How will you know if you'll succeed if you don't try? Courage... cough... don't be afraid of failure... good luck."

After saying that, Gion's face turned even redder. She didn't care what Ortolan had to say anymore and ran away in a flash.

Smoker, watching this scene from the doorway, felt a tremor in his heart. Wait, is this a free segment I can watch without paying? A G-5 love triangle? The base commander's romantic entanglements?

Will Senior Ben kill me to cover his tracks later?

Also, something doesn't seem right here. Why is Gion- senpai so confident? Isn't Rouge the wife of Rouge -senpai?

Oh dear, this relationship is too complicated. Is this what the extravagant and chaotic upper class is like?

Ortolan took a breath, then scratched his head in confusion. "What do you mean by 'darer'...? Gion I shouldn't just think about it? Can I try it out?"

Does she mean I should put these outrageous ideas into practice? Isn't that implying I can have multiple wives? The bolder the man, the greater the harvest?

"I was indeed bound by the times and the times, limiting my vision!" Ortolan slapped his thigh and sighed.

To be honest, although he knew about it, he had never really thought about it carefully. This world is not some advanced era. Neither the law nor morality requires a person to have only one wife, right?

Let alone one wife, his mother has countless wives, and no one has ever said anything about it.

"I guess I was too conservative after all. Our family should have this kind of tradition..." Ortolan stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

When we have some free time, how about we go out for a meal together in Gion? It's been a long time since I've had a vacation... It would be nice to go on a trip together, wouldn't it?

While Ortolan was pondering these questions, Smoker felt rather embarrassed, as if he had been forgotten. So he cleared his throat lightly and asked, "Senior Bane?"

Ortolan then snapped out of his daze, looking somewhat embarrassed at Smoker, and beckoned, "Come, come in and sit down. Don't be so reserved. Like you said, we're like junior and senior. Nobody in the military protected you, and those bastard nobles took their anger out on you. But don't worry, G-5 is completely different. Once you're here, it's me, Ortolan, who's protecting you. In this New World, it's always been G-5 that bullies people, and nobody dares to bully G-5!"

Smoker was deeply moved upon hearing this. Regardless of whether Ortolan's words were merely polite formalities, the fact that he, as the base commander and one of the Marines's top figures, was willing to speak to Smoker in this manner already demonstrated considerable sincerity and care.

Anyway, Smoker had never enjoyed this kind of treatment in the Department.

As for his previous conflicts with those royals, the troublemaker Smoker didn't think he had done anything wrong. Those bastards didn't treat people like human beings, and as Marines, his sense of justice made him stand up for those noble servants who were often beaten to death. Was he wrong?

"Yes, thank you very much, senior Bane!" Smoker said gratefully.

After Smoker sat down, Ortolan smiled and said, "Teacher Zephyr even contacted me specifically, telling me to take good care of you, saying that you are a promising guy, and if you can grow up in the future, you will definitely be a pillar of our Marines."

Hearing this, Smoker scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "I will try my best not to disappoint you, teacher."

Ortolan nodded first, then asked, "You were able to graduate from Teacher Zephyr as the top student, so your foundation must be quite solid. I don't need to give you any special advice on that. As for strength, you need to practice diligently and cultivate combat experience. There are no shortcuts. As for your status, you are a top Lieutenant Commander, and it's not good for anyone to have the rank of major. When the time is right, I will restore your rank to colonel... So let's talk about your personal wishes first. What are your expectations for the position at G-5?"

"Yes!" Smoker nodded without hesitation, then said, "I want the front lines where the conflict is most intense!"

"That's ambitious!" Ortolan slammed his fist on the table. "That's more in line with our G-5 style: fight the toughest battles, kill the most ruthless enemies, pay the highest bounties, drink the best wines, and sleep with the most beautiful women!"

Smoker was completely confused. Wait, doesn't this have anything to do with justice at all?

Before Smoker could even process what was happening, Ortolan said, "In a few days, Rear Admiral Issho G-5 will be back. He'll be in charge of the front lines, the most intense battles. I'll arrange for you to train under him then."

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, senior!" Smoker immediately saluted.

"Don't be so polite. You call me 'senior,' so we're practically family. Here, don't suppress your personality. Our G-5's main characteristic is being unruly. If the headquarters can do something, we can do it too. If the headquarters can't do something, we'll still dare to do it. When we're out here, I only have one requirement: don't embarrass G-5. As for anything else, even if you chop off the head of Affiliated Nation family, I'll cover for you!" Ortolan said Haki.
