Saint Figarland: It Seems Charlotte Linlin Is Testing Our Sincerity!

Standing at the window of this small second-floor apartment, looking at the desolate scene outside, Ortolan drank the tea in his hand in one gulp.

He then placed the teacup on the windowsill, took out his Den Den Mushi from his pocket, and dialed the number.

After the Den Den Mushi rang a few times, a slightly aged voice came from the other end. "Ortolan? What is it?"

This voice undoubtedly belonged to Saint Figarland from the Old Star. When they met in Mary Geoise last time, they exchanged communication signals.

"Holy Saint Figarland, greetings." Ortolan greeted him first, and then continued, "As per your instructions, after returning to the New World, I met with Katakuri, one of the Sweet Commander of the Big Mom Pirates, and we had some discussions."

Upon hearing this, Saint Figarland immediately perked up and praised, "Your efficiency is so high that it has somewhat surprised me."

"After all, it was a task you assigned, so of course I have to take it easy," Ortolan said with a smile, flattering him.

To be honest, Saint Figarland was really satisfied with Ortolan's work attitude. He was obedient, sensible, and a great Admiral!

"What did the Big Mom Pirates say?" Saint Figarland asked.

"Unfortunately, Charlotte Linlin has no intention of giving up her pirate identity," Ortolan sighed.

There was no surprise on the side of Saint Figarland. It would be strange if Charlotte Linlin bowed down to him after just a few words.

"That's a bit of a shame, but since you've contacted me, it means there's been some progress, right?" Saint Figarland asked again.

"I admire your wisdom." Ortolan clapped his hands casually again. These skills were the result of his careful study of Spandine's methods.

After offering a compliment, Ortolan continued, "Although we didn't achieve perfect results, the Big Mom Pirates have indeed softened their stance and are willing to engage in deeper cooperation with us. Katakuri has proposed a project that I find quite interesting, but it's a very important matter, so I haven't agreed yet and need to consult with you first."

Upon hearing this, Saint Figarland asked with a hint of curiosity, "What kind of cooperation?"

"The Big Mom Pirates are planning to build an Entertainment City in the New World. To put it simply, this concept is..." Ortolan quickly explained the Entertainment City to Old Star.

After babbling on and on for a while, Ortolan finally managed to explain the meaning behind it to the old star.

Saint Figarland remained silent for a long time, seemingly pondering these words. Ortolan did not urge him on, but simply stood by the window looking at the scenery.

After a long silence, Saint Figarland spoke up, "The idea is good, the concept of a neutral zone is excellent, so what's the difficulty?"

"The difficulty lies in the fact that the Big Mom Pirates are considering bringing in the Revolutionary Army to cooperate. They say that only in this way can the project truly become 'neutral,' which is also the main reason why I cannot make a judgment. After all, our World Government and the Revolutionary Army are sworn enemies..." Ortolan said with some difficulty.

"The Revolutionary Army ..." Saint Figarland murmured, then said, "Not long after the Mary Geoise incident, news spread from the Dark Realm that Totto Land Totto Land had allowed them to rest and recuperate in Charlotte Linlin's territory, provided they followed the rules..."

Ortolan didn't respond, and Saint Figarland didn't mind, continuing on his own, "It seems that the Revolutionary Army's burning of Mary Geoise has indeed given many ambitious people some unreliable illusions... Of course, these are understandable. If Charlotte Linlin didn't have enough ambition, she wouldn't have gotten to where she is today."

Only when dealing with a strong person will Old Star consider 'understanding' them; if it's a weakling, Old Star will only consider sending them a Holy Flame!

Ortolan remained silent. After muttering to himself for a moment, Saint Figarland suddenly asked, "Ortolan, do you think the Revolutionary Army might...?"

Before Saint Figarland could finish speaking, Ortolan said without hesitation, "Impossible! Dragon is an ambitious and ruthless man with unwavering convictions. They are not pirates and there is absolutely no possibility that they could be recruited or pacified by our mortal government!"

"That's what I think too," Saint Figarland replied softly.

"However, I am indeed very interested in the concept of this neutral zone. If it can be accomplished, it will greatly expand the influence of our New World government in the New World, and at the same time, it will demonstrate our tolerance. This is also a test of sincerity for the Big Mom Pirates. Perhaps Charlotte Linlin specifically emphasized bringing in the Revolutionary Army to see our spirit. If we can even tolerate the Revolutionary Army in this matter, then she should feel much more at ease... What do you think?" Saint V. Nusjuro asked softly.

Ortolan was quite surprised that the old man, Saint V. Nusjuro, could analyze his offhand remarks so logically, and upon closer examination, they even seemed to make a lot of sense!

If Charlotte Linlin really brought this up, then it does seem like she's testing the tolerance of the World Government!

After all, compared to the Revolutionary Army, her Big Mom Pirates are not an irreconcilable enemy of the World Government.

The fact that the World Government is even willing to tolerate the involvement of the Revolutionary Army and hopes to cooperate with the Big Mom Pirates is itself a sign of sincerity and tolerance.

This further demonstrates the importance placed on the Big Mom Pirates; their sincerity is truly remarkable!

Unfortunately, all of Saint V. Nusjuro Sheng's analysis was useless, because all of these things were made up by him, Ortolan, and had nothing to do with Charlotte Linlin.

All I can say is that Saint V. Nusjuro is outsmarting the air.

However, this did not prevent Ortolan from admiring the wisdom and political acumen of the Saint V. Nusjuro.

"Your insight is truly remarkable, Commander." Ortolan exclaimed in admiration, "I hadn't considered any of this before. I even thought it was Big Mom Pirates's way of rejecting us, using this kind of cooperation that we couldn't tolerate to politely decline our invitation... But now it seems that there might indeed be a deeper meaning behind it, and you've seen further and deeper."

"Hehehe..." Saint V. Nusjuro smiled with satisfaction, then said, "Although you are strong and capable, you are still too young. There are many things you lack experience in..."

"You're right, I was too shallow," Ortolan said modestly.

Say whatever you want, I'm not losing out anyway.

After a brief pause, Ortolan asked again, "So, how should I respond to the Big Mom Pirates? What should we do?"

"Whether they are politely declining our invitation or testing our sincerity, the answer is simple: ask them to produce a plan. If the plan is comprehensive, meticulous, and has the potential to be effective, then it proves that they have given this matter considerable thought and careful consideration. It also means that this is not just a casual excuse to decline us, but a genuine test of their sincerity. However, if the plan is empty, uninteresting, and full of wild ideas, then there's no need to discuss it further. Perhaps, as you said, they are just making up a reason to politely decline us," Saint V. Nusjuro replied.

"I understand. After that, I will convey your will to the Big Mom Pirates and have them submit at Rear Admiral one relevant plan. I will then send the plan to Mary Geoise for you to review and discern their intentions," Ortolan said earnestly.

"Okay, let's arrange it this way. If the plan is truly feasible, there's no harm in doing it in this neutral zone," Saint V. Nusjuro agreed.

From beginning to end, he never mentioned anything about the Entertainment City's profits. This shows that, at least in this matter, he didn't value profits, but rather the political objective of maintaining a 'neutral zone'!

"Yes, I understand. We will implement it as soon as possible." Ortolan immediately gave an affirmative response. After a pause, he continued, "In addition, we also have some preliminary plans regarding the Sea Police Force that I mentioned to you before. Would you like me to give a report?"

"No need. You can handle this yourself. We trust your abilities. However, don't get too distracted by this matter for now. The most important thing is to find a way to resolve the issue between us and the Big Mom Pirates. That's the most crucial thing!" Saint V. Nusjuro added.

Obviously, in the eyes of Saint V. Nusjuro, the so-called "chicken Sea Police Force" is just a small-scale operation. After all, the government of the new world will not spend a single penny on this matter. Can the kingdoms of the New World make any big splash?

Therefore, in the eyes of the Five Elders Saint V. Nusjuro, this matter was a trivial one, not worth his attention as the highest authority. The matter of the Big Mom Pirates was the real issue, and resolving it would greatly benefit the government of the world!

"I understand, thank you for taking the time to guide my work." Ortolan offered another compliment.

Saint V. Nusjuro smiled, offered a few words of comfort to Ortolan, and then hung up the Den Den Mushi.

"That old man really has some ideas..." Ortolan remarked as he put away the Den Den Mushi.
