Regarding the Sea Train incident, Ortolan gave Umit a very positive answer, telling him to go and talk to Doflamingo, and he would definitely help mediate.

Although they were to cooperate on this matter, Ortolan's trust in Umit was only so-so, so he didn't intend to expose himself and would use Doflamingo as a cover.

After discussing Doflamingo and the Sea Train, Umit had no further requests, and the conversation shifted back to Rupert Feld.

Lou Field's visit to Ortolan was partly to introduce his friend Umit, and partly to assess the situation within the G-5's jurisdictional waters.

Along the way, he could indeed feel that although G-5 was at the forefront of New World battle between the Marines and pirates, it was actually a relatively safe sea environment because of Ortolan's tough style, G-5's strong combat power, and the deterrent effect of its connections and influence.

He now needs to find such a place, a safe environment where prosperity can flourish. Unlike other sea areas, the rise and fall of the New World are extremely rapid.

Once a certain sea area suddenly becomes stable, it will quickly attract all kinds of resources from the entire New World. Subsequently, its population, economy, culture, and other aspects will develop at a rate far exceeding that of other sea areas, becoming prosperous at an incredible speed.

In this way, such prosperity will collapse quickly once a security problem arises. The various resources and funds that flow in will not hesitate at all. As soon as they sense danger, they will withdraw without hesitation, causing a prosperous sea area to decline in a very short period of time.

All of this is due to the unstable situation in the New World, so capital in all aspects is very flexible, focusing on 'quick and easy'.

Totto Land Totto Land, for example, is like this. Because of the presence of the Big Mom Pirates and Charlotte Linlin's reputation, Totto Land Totto Land settled down at an extremely fast pace. Now, Totto Land Totto Land can be said to be frantically absorbing the essence of the New World to continuously strengthen itself.

One very obvious argument is that Ortolan was eager to work with Charlotte Linlin.

This is driven by profit-seeking!

According to Lu Field, a similar trend is emerging in the G-5 region. For example, Umit's initiative to seek cooperation was a clear signal. Once such a powerful entity makes a move, it gains influence, and a large number of people will follow suit. Once the opportunity arises, the G-5 region will flourish rapidly, just like the Totto Land of Totto Land.

This is how any powerful nation or sea region in the New World rises!

Therefore, Lu Field really wanted to invest here. His loan sharking business also needed to be diversified. However, he was well aware that different industries are like different worlds, so his so-called 'diversification' was mostly based on lending as the core project, and then derived from it.

This includes the entertainment and gambling industry!

That's right, Gamblin Island, currently the largest gambling island in the New World, is owned by Luther Field.

However, due to its geographical location, Gamblin Island is situated in the western sea area of New World, which is deep in the ocean. That place was originally Shiki's territory, and it was relatively safe and stable during the time when Shiki started his power base, so it developed quite well. Later, after Shiki fell, that place inexplicably became Whitebeard's territory. In fact, with Whitebeard protecting that sea area, it was still relatively stable.

The problem is that the area is quite close to Kaido's territory, and right now, the Beasts Pirates are acting like they're on steroids, always ready to fight the Whitebeard Pirates (because of Kozuki Oden's influence). Although neither Kaido nor Newgate have personally intervened, no one can be sure what the trend will be.

After all, if Whitebeard and Kaido were to personally intervene, and a fierce conflict were to break out, given their abilities and strength, it would be easy for them to wreak havoc on an entire sea area.

Therefore, in Luther Field's view, Gamblin Island was no longer safe, no longer stable, and could even be destroyed at any time. As the core derivative of his loan sharking business, he needed to find a safe place to replicate the glory of Gamblin Island.

In this situation, the G-5 sea area, with Bane Ortolan, one of the most influential figures in the New World, in charge, immediately became Lu Field's favorite.

In particular, compared to the even more chaotic pirates, although Ortolan has a notorious reputation, he is not a good person either. After all, how could someone who can make a name for himself in the New World be a good person?

They are more trustworthy than pirates, after all.

So Lu Field really wanted to find a place within the G-5 district to open Entertainment City, and it was obvious that this was something that couldn't be done without Ortolan.

After all, without Ortolan's guarantee, who would dare to go to his Entertainment City located in G-5?

Therefore, after the Uton incident, Lu Field also subtly mentioned this idea, and Ortolan naturally supported it.

Ortolan had always wanted Tesoro to replicate his original story's path to success, to establish the Golden City and become a tycoon.

However, there are two difficulties in this matter. The first difficulty is that Tesoro's identity is now that of Marines, and many people know this. He is also Ortolan's chief steward, and G-5 cannot do without him.

If Tesoro were to establish something like the Golden City, anyone could see that this was G-5's job, and how could the World Government not get involved?

The second challenge was the issue of start-up capital. Although Ortolan was still thinking about the huge amount of gold he could control on the Skypiea, that gold reserve was intended to deal with any sudden crisis that might occur in the Marines.

For example, if one day, before they are ready, something happens and they turn against the World Government, the huge reserves of the Golden Country can play a crucial role and hold out the Marines for one or two years.

With this buffer, many problems can be solved.

Therefore, although he initially used the Golden Country as his start-up capital, things didn't go as planned. In such situations, Ortolan actually regarded the Golden Country as a last resort.

Without considering using funds from the Golden Country, given G-5's current debt situation, it would be a pipe dream to try and restart the Golden City project.

So although Ortolan has been considering this, there has been no substantial progress.

His original idea was to postpone it and think about it when he had a chance later, but Tianlu Field suddenly brought up the relevant matter, which gave Ortolan more inspiration and ideas.

If Tesoro can't make a public appearance, wouldn't Lou Field be a better fit?

Let him, like Doflamingo, represent G-5 and stand on the stage of the Golden City as a decoy and cover... At that time, G-5 was short of money, but this big money god was not short of money at all!

If he wanted, the Golden City plan could be launched at any time!

However, putting aside these positive factors, one difficult point is that Ortolan cannot trust Lu Field as much as he trusts Tesoro.

Because Tesoro was someone who lent a helping hand and saved him during the most painful period of his life, and Tesoro was not yet corrupted at that time. Now he and Stella are living a happy life, and his character and personality are generally righteous, bright, and kind.

What about Lou Field?

This guy is the king of loan sharks in the Underworld, what kind of good person can you expect him to be?

The reason he is so respectful and polite to Ortolan now is because Ortolan has something that can keep him in check, but this is still only superficial and has no deeper constraints.

So once the benefits are great enough, or if the World Government investigates something, it would be perfectly reasonable Ortolan a wolf like Luther Field to betray him and stab him in the back.

Therefore, there must be a way to truly control Luis Field, using both kindness and severity to completely subdue him before Ortolan can release him to do this.

Fortunately, Luffield only had an idea. How could such a big thing be accomplished in less than a few years?

Therefore, Ortolan still has room and time to think things through.

After that, Uton and Lu Field stayed at G-5 for three days. During this time, Ortolan became closer to the two of them. When both sides felt that it was time, the two of them took their leave and left G-5. Thus, the matter concerning the two of them came to a temporary end.
