Hina: The Last Person to Mess with My Admiral Was Red-Hair, and He's Already Dead
Without any delays on the way, and with calm seas and gentle breezes, Ortolan returned to his command center.
As soon as he disembarked, Ortolan saw his secretary Hina, waiting for him there.
"Admiral, welcome back." Hina greeted Ortolan with a smile.
"Oh, Hina, it's been a long time. How have you been lately?" Ortolan greeted Hina in return.
"I have so much backlog of work that I'm almost overwhelmed. Admiral you don't come back soon, I'm about to Den Den Mushi to urge you," Hina said, feigning a complaint.
"Hahahaha..." Ortolan chuckled slightly awkwardly, then asked, "Is there a lot of work piling up?"
"Of course, many matters require your approval..." Hina responded first, then walked to Ortolan's side, giving him no chance to rest, and directly took out a document from the briefcase she was holding, saying, "Something like this, a report sent by Vice Admiral Kaisa, requesting funding for the construction of a Marine Base ..."
Ortolan took the document, glancing at it as he walked towards the office building, asking with some doubt, "Weren't these matters entrusted to Tesoro to handle?"
"Mr. Tesoro only has the authority to verify, not to approve. According to the standards of our Marines, only you, Admiral, have the authority to approve the allocation of these military funds, or they can send the report to headquarters for approval by other Admiral or commanders-in-chief. But as the Admiral of the Governor- New World, I don't think anyone would bypass you to do such a thing," Hina reminded her.
"I see..." Ortolan nodded, then raised his hand.
Hina, being very cooperative, immediately handed a pen to Ortolan.
Ortolan barely read the document; he simply flipped to the last two pages, glanced at the signatures, and, seeing that Tesoro had already signed it, knew that he had verified everything.
Without further hesitation, he took the pen, signed his name on the last page, and then returned the document to Hina.
Regardless of whether Ortolan had actually read it carefully, Hina put the document away and then handed it to Ortolan again.
"This is an application from Major General Vergo Rear Admiral Dressrosa. The document includes the plan for establishing the Sea Police Force and the corresponding funding requirements. Mr. Tesoro has already verified it." Hina handed the document to Ortolan and gave a brief overview of the situation.
This time, Ortolan actually took it seriously.
The Donquixote Family is quite efficient in this regard. Although Doflamingo was not present before, having gone on a mission with Ortolan, Vergo still managed to keep the plan running effectively.
Currently, twelve kingdoms in the New World have signed the Marine Security Plan agreement, seven of which are allies under the World Government, while the rest are 'wild'.
However, as mentioned before, Ortolan doesn't care whether the other party is under the jurisdiction of the Qi World Government or not. As long as his army can control them and they are in the New World, he treats them all equally.
In recent years, several of the New World's allied nations have been wondering why they still pay Mary Geoise the "Celestial Gold" every year, given this treatment.
In the past, the Celestial Gold was handed over to seek the protection of the World Government and the Marines, so as to avoid being harmed by pirates.
Now, Admiral Bane is clearly a very righteous and good person. Even if you are not an ally, as long as you are willing to cooperate with him and cooperate with his various strategies in the New World, he will include you in his protection.
This means that even if you don't pay the Celestial Gold to Mary Geoise, but only pay protection money to Admiral Ortolan, you can still do very well in the New World!
Therefore, in the past two years, some allied countries have been considering whether to cut off Celestial Gold and not renew their subscriptions.
But so far, no one has dared to take the first step. After all, they know that doing so would be a slap in the face to the World Government. What if the World Government gave Admiral Bane some orders? Wouldn't that put the Admiral in a difficult position? If the Admiral is in a difficult position, how can they expect to do well?
Fortunately, thanks to Ortolan's various favorable policies and the relatively stable environment within its territory, the various kingdoms have been developing in a positive direction and are much wealthier than before, so they can still afford to pay the Celestial Gold.
The plan sent by Vergo outlined the plans for the Sea Police Force, with each of the twelve kingdoms expected to send 10,000 people to participate in the project, totaling 120,000 people.
Meanwhile, the Donquixote Family will gradually recruit manpower in the North Blue, with an initial plan to recruit 50,000 people to New World and form this Sea Police Force.
As a result, the first step of the plan, which is expected to be around this time next year, is that the Sea Police Force established by Vergo will reach a size of 170,000.
These are all new recruits!
To ensure the quality of recruits, Vergo also hopes to establish a joint force with the New World Marines, which involves recruiting some New World Marines soldiers who intend to retire to the second line and Sea Police Force.
Most of these soldiers are experienced in combat, but due to their advanced age or post-war psychological problems, they are no longer suitable to stay on the front lines of high-intensity combat.
Transferring them to second-tier Sea Police Force, allowing experienced personnel to mentor new recruits, and improving combat effectiveness, is still a good option.
Vergo hopes to have around 30,000 people in this group, which means he plans to have 200,000 Sea Police Force by this time next year!
After reviewing the plan, Ortolan asked Hina with some doubt, "Hina, can our New World Marines provide these 30,000 men? Do we have enough spare capacity?"
"If we simply follow Vergo's suggestion and recruit so-called voluntary second-line soldiers, that probably won't be enough. But we can transfer a certain number of the 'new recruits' stationed in various countries to the Coast Guard. Some of these combat-capable soldiers, who are not nominally part of our Marines reserve, will be transferred to the Sea Police Force. That will be sufficient. After this transfer is completed, those royal families should also be motivated to replenish their so-called 'new recruits' due to security concerns, without us even needing to urge them," Hina suggested.
"Then let's do it this way. You're quite clever, aren't you?" Ortolan laughed and signed his name on the document.
Hina blushed slightly, a little embarrassed, and then said, "These are all methods I heard Tokikake Mr. Kaji and Mr. Ichisho when they were talking about this matter not long ago."
"Has Yixiao already arrived on our side?" Ortolan raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, Yixiao Xian has been here for half a month," Hina replied.
At the same time, she took the signed document from Ortolan, put it into the document bag, and then handed Ortolan an internal publication. "This is a summary of our New World Marines's internal publications during your absence. It records some things that happened in the New World. You can take a look."
Ortolan hadn't been paying much attention to the major and minor events in the New World lately, so he picked up the internal publication and started reading it.
The first thing is the movements of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Kaido, perhaps drunk and acting out, went alone to cause trouble in the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, only to run into the Moby Dick, leading to a fierce battle.
As a result of the destruction of Franky Island within the territory of Whitebeard, Kaido was defeated and fled.
Enraged, Whitebeard led his fleet in pursuit of Kaido, fighting all the way into Kaido's territory and killing Emperor Crocodile Neptune, a high-ranking officer of the Beasts Pirates. This conflict finally came to an end. After looting the area, Whitebeard Pirates returned to their own territory.
"So, having a reliable leader is very important. Look at this Neptune, he died so unjustly... Kaido caused trouble, and now he's paying for it with his life." Ortolan said with a slight smile.
"Yes, that's right~" Hina replied with a smile.
Ortolan continued reading, and the second entry stated that the Titan Nation of Elbaf had caused some unknown disturbances, essentially creating some chaos. Consequently, the Colossal Titan known as 'San Juan Wolf' was expelled from Elbaf.
The Big Mom Pirates are currently searching for San Juan Wolf. The two sides had a brief encounter in the New World's Sdra Island Sea Area, but it seems they couldn't reach an agreement. San Juan Wolf then brutally beat up Charlotte Daifuku, Katakuri's younger brother.
Katakuri is currently searching the entire world for this guy, wanting revenge!
"This guy is so arrogant?" Ortolan was slightly surprised, then said, "He dares to hit my second brother and my younger brother, isn't that slapping my face? Let's all be careful, if we see this big guy, we'll teach him a lesson!"
Hina hesitated slightly upon hearing this. "Admiral, what exactly is this idea? How much attention do we need to devote to it?"
"Get our Intelligence Department, CP, and the Underworld all mobilized. With a guy this big, as long as he doesn't isolate himself from society, he should be able to find someone..." Ortolan said.
"I understand. We'll dig him out as quickly as possible." Hina nodded immediately.
At the same time, I felt sadness and pity for San Juan Wolf. Was it because Elbaf was too isolated? This giant from the countryside, who does he dare to mess with? He even dares to provoke Admiral! In the New World, the last one so arrogant Shanks Red-Hair.
The grass on his grave is already two feet tall!
