Tokikake: I Don't Want to Be a Clown Here Anymore. I Want to Fight Whitebeard!

Looking at the internal publication in his hand, Ortolan quickly arrived at the office building, and then he was a little confused.

The original dilapidated two-story building has now completely disappeared.

Instead, there is a tall and magnificent building that, at first glance, does resemble the former G-5 Marine Base building.

"It's finished so quickly?" Ortolan asked in surprise.

Since he left here to find Doflamingo, and then went to the North Blue, he has now gone in a big circle, which has only taken about half a year.

A nine-story building, and it's already done?

Hina smiled and said, "In order to enable Admiral to handle official business better after you arrive, the construction team has been working overtime. Not only that, the living area has also been completed."

"Amazing," Ortolan exclaimed, then, led by Hina, entered the building, took the elevator, and arrived at the ninth floor.

The ninth floor is a spacious, single-level floor with only one function: it serves as Admiral Benn's office.

Although it felt somewhat novel, Ortolan wasn't unfamiliar with such places, so after a casual glance around, he stopped investigating the office.

Hina had already categorized all the documents he needed to handle on his desk according to their importance and urgency.

Seeing the resentful look in his secretary's eyes, Ortolan abandoned his original idea of taking a day or two off and sat down at his desk to start working.

In fact, Ortolan had a very clear understanding of the structure and composition of the New World Marines. He knew exactly what each base commander under his command should do and how much autonomy they had.

However, the number of things he actually needs to handle is not very large. The vast majority of the matters are already arranged, but require his signature to be effective for the administrative orders.

Therefore, Ortolan's busiest work right now is hunched over his desk, constantly signing various documents.

"Tokikake guy, is he slacking off? I've already authorized him to sign so many of these documents; he could have easily signed them for me..." Ortolan muttered and complained as he signed.

"Before you arrived, Tokikake had already signed many documents," Hina explained with a smile. "These were all backlogged documents from the past week. After Tokikake that you were about to arrive, Kakei stopped using the authority you granted him."

"So what has he been doing lately?" Ortolan asked.

"The day before yesterday, he confessed to Gion for the ninety-ninth time at the restaurant," Hina said after thinking for a moment.

Ortolan paused for a moment, then looked up at Hina: "Is this guy provoking me?!"

Hina found it somewhat amusing and said, "However, Gion- senpai has already rejected Kaji's offer Tokikake an explanation and publicly announced her relationship with you. At Rouge. Rouge's invitation, she moved into the newly built manor, yours."

Ortolan????

He hadn't heard of this!

Did Rouge go with Gion Yakuza? Have their relationship been repaired?

Although somewhat surprised, Ortolan was still very happy. Regardless of the reason, this was a great thing for him.

While Ortolan was pondering these thoughts, Hina continued, "Tokikake learning about this situation, Kakei Senpai also announced that she would no longer pursue Gion- senpai..."

After a pause, Hina's face fell. "Then yesterday, within a single day, we received protests and complaints from twelve female Marines officers, saying Tokikake the Kageshige had sexually harassed them in the workplace, which was very distressing for them."

"Huh?" Ortolan was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Is this guy, Tokikake, really that brave?

He sued twelve female Marines in one day?

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Ortolan said with some confusion, "Tokikake is a bit outrageous, but in my memory, he was actually quite popular. Back in the Second Division, he often went on dates with other pretty female Marines. How could he get a complaint?"

That's right, Tokikake, although he's Clown in front of Gion, is actually a pretty good guy. He might be a bit ugly, but he's very gentle, considerate, and romantic.

Furthermore, he is Vice Admiral with real power in the Marines and is quite powerful. Even when Ortolan left the Navy, he authorized him to take charge of affairs in the New World, which shows that he is a very trustworthy and reliable person.

Therefore, although he was a Clown in Gion, he was still very popular when he was at headquarters. Many beautiful female Marines had dated him, and his reputation was not bad.

How did it turn into workplace sexual harassment here?

Has he changed? Has he become a monster?

Seeing Ortolan's puzzled look, Hina explained with a hint of helplessness, "Admiral, Tokikake is indeed quite nice, it's really despicable of him to keep confessing to other girls after being rejected, okay? Although everyone admires Gion- senpai, if he were to accept her under these circumstances, it would still seem a bit... embarrassing. And Mr. Tokikake doesn't care about that, so naturally he'll be disliked and rejected by girls..."

Upon hearing this, Ortolan thought about it and realized it made sense. It was as Tokikake Kaji had become desperate after being rejected, and the other female Marines would naturally be unhappy to be confessed to in this situation.

In particular, he confessed his feelings to twelve women in one go, so it's perfectly reasonable for them to jointly report him for sexual harassment.

Just as Ortolan and Hina were chatting about this amusing incident, there was a knock on the office door. Ortolan answered, and then Tokikake and Yixiao walked in together.

The Tokikake Jiaji saw Hina, he went berserk, suddenly pulling out a bouquet of flowers from behind his back and exclaiming, "Beautiful..."

"Mr. Tokikake, I refuse." Hina refused firmly before Kakei could Tokikake speaking.

At that moment, her expression became very cold, with a hint of disgust in it.

"It hurts, it hurts so much!" Jiaji didn't feel ashamed Tokikake all. He clutched his heart and pretended to be in great pain.

At that moment, Ortolan picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and laughed, scolding, "That's enough, you bastard. If you keep going like this, I'm going to put you in solitary confinement."

"Damn it, you're such a winner in life, you can't possibly understand our suffering. I get angry just looking at you!" Jia Ji cursed Tokikake he sat down on the sofa.

Yi Xiao looked at Jia Ji Tokikake amusement, then asked, "Then why did you come to see him?"

"Give all the powers that should be transferred back to him, and then I'll apply..." Tokikake said, standing up from the sofa and walking to the desk. He placed a document in front of Ortolan: "I'm applying for a field mission, any kind of mission is fine. I don't want to be Clown here anymore. Even if I have to fight Whitebeard, I'll do it. I don't want to stay here any longer. This place only brings me pain..."

"Rejected." Ortolan didn't even look at it before throwing the Tokikake report into the wastepaper basket next to him.

Tokikake was stunned for a moment, then slammed his fist on the table and questioned Yu: "Why? Why are you rejecting me? I've been rejected so many times these past few days, why do you have to reject me too?"

"Don't go crazy here." Ortolan rolled his eyes Tokikake Jiaji: "Because I'm coming back this time and will be leaving again soon, so I need you to continue to stay here and oversee things."

"Huh?" Jiaji Tokikake, somewhat confused, "Who's the Admiral, you or me? And what are you going to do?"

"Precisely because I am Admiral, I need to do more things." Ortolan glanced at Tokikake, then said, "This time I'm back, first I need to meet with Ms. Stussy of Pleasure District to discuss the follow-up cooperation with Golden City. The World Government has already handed over the authorization to her. Secondly, I need to leave the New World with Yixiao Yiyi. Therefore, according to the old rules, when I'm not here, you will handle my daily work."

This guy, Jiaji, could still distinguish between what was important and what was urgent. Tokikake Ortolan's reasoned argument, he sighed slightly, "I'm starting to regret coming here from Mr. Garp's place to work for you. I haven't gotten any benefits, and I'm already putting up with this..."

"How could you not get any benefits?" Ortolan grinned and said, "When I returned to headquarters this time, I already submitted your promotion application to the Fleet Admiral..."

"Huh?" Tokikake was taken aback at first, then a glint of light appeared in his eyes. "Admiral Candidate?"

"That's right." Ortolan nodded. "So you better do your job well. After the Fleet Admiral finishes discussing with the other generals at headquarters, you'll most likely be Admiral Candidate. At that time, just pray that I get killed one day, so you can rightfully take my place..."

"Don't worry, I'll set up an altar at home as soon as I get back, and I'll curse you every night before I go to sleep!" Jiaji said Tokikake hesitation.

His words caused Ortolan, Yixiao, and Hina to burst into laughter.

To reiterate, although Ortolan and Tokikake Gion are 'sworn enemies' when it comes to matters of the heart, they actually have a very good relationship, so these jokes are not considered excessive by them.

Nobody will take it seriously.
