Don't Think Living in Mary Geoise Lets You Spout Nonsense in Front of Me!
After hanging up with Tesoro Den Den Den Mushi.
Ortolan continued looking at the report in his hand.
Below the Rear Admiral major general, the casualty figures immediately rose. Just as Tesoro said, the total number of wounded was nearly 30,000. Of course, the vast majority of them were minor injuries. If you were shot on the battlefield and it didn't cause any serious harm, it would still be counted in the statistics.
"The compensation work must be done well. At the same time, all the merits must be clearly accounted for. Those who deserve promotions should be promoted, and those who deserve raises should be raised. Anyone who dares to withhold my benefits or deceive me will be caught and punished without mercy. Even if it's just a joke, I will send them to the guillotine!" Ortolan looked at Hina beside him and gave the order in a deep voice.
As soon as Ortolan finished speaking, he saw Hina looking at him with amusement.
This puzzled Ortolan. He turned around and saw Yixiao staring at him with a completely bewildered expression.
"No, why are you sending me to the guillotine?" Yi Xiao came back to her senses and looked at Ortolan with a resentful expression.
"Hahahaha, just kidding, you actually took it seriously?" Ortolan laughed awkwardly for a moment, then asked, "What's wrong?"
Yi Xiao didn't bother arguing with Ortolan about it, and said with a smile, "Let me ask, when are you going to disband the troops? There are still many things to deal with on G-5's side. My troops have been reorganized. Except for the seriously wounded who are temporarily unable to be moved, everyone else is coming back with me."
"Is the situation similar across all departments?" Ortolan inquired.
This time, the elite forces from various bases of the New World Marines were gathered. Now that the war is over, the troops will be disbanded.
"Except for the Hoshigaki tribe, the rest are pretty much the same." Yixiao nodded, giving an affirmative response.
"Then let's disband the troops in an orderly manner. It's not good for them to stay here for too long," Ortolan said.
"I understand." Yixiao replied, then asked curiously, "Speaking of which, after such a great battle, didn't headquarters summon you back?"
Normally, after the war, Ortolan, as the Governor-General Admiral of the New World, would definitely return to his headquarters to report on his duties, and afterwards, he would certainly be rewarded.
As for his position, there's no point in even thinking about it. Unless the Sengoku Grand Marshal retires, and unless Ortolan dons the yellow robe and declares independence, his current position as Admiral is pretty much over.
Besides the official position, there are plenty of other rewards, such as medals, bonuses, and various benefits.
Now that he was free, Ortolan didn't have much need for these things, mainly because he already had everything he needed.
"Yes, the Warlord of the Sengoku contacted me the very next day after the war ended, telling me to return to headquarters immediately to receive my commendation after I finished dealing with these matters," Ortolan said with a shrug, seemingly unconcerned.
"Are you masturbating?" Yi Xiao Shi asked curiously.
After a moment of silence, Ortolan nodded and said, "It's time to go. During my absence from headquarters, all your departments should prepare for a new round of war. After I return, we should resolve the remaining issues in the New World."
As Ortolan was saying this, the Momonga walked over from not far away and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't think this situation will really lead to a wide-ranging or even all-out war, will it?"
"At most, we'll fight a localized, direct war with the Beasts Pirates, right? But that's only a possibility. If Kaido is smart, he wouldn't go to such extremes..." After thinking it over, Issho also felt that a full-scale war was unlikely.
They were all longtime subordinates of Ortolan, and they knew that the relationship between the New World Marines and the Big Mom Pirates was far more complex than a simple conflict between the Marines and pirates.
In particular, in recent years, although the Big Mom Pirates are nominally pirates, they have long since transcended the category of pirates. It would be more appropriate to treat them as a country.
After all, which pirate-controlled country has a national happiness index that ranks among the top in the world?
The two sides had long harbored the potential to unite, but Charlotte Linlin had always refused to bow to her son, while Ortolan, the dutiful son, was determined to become powerful and cure his proud old man's craving for Food Addiction.
The situation on the Marines's side is very stubborn. From top to bottom, no one has ever suggested that Ortolan should grovel. That's impossible and unrealistic; no one would agree to it.
Totto Land Totto Land is different. People like Katakuri, who have long understood the situation, don't really care whether Charlotte Linlin, their mother, or Ortolan, their brother, should be the leader.
They're pirates, and they're all family. So the strong one has everything, and as the head of the family, it's perfectly reasonable for him to be unreasonable.
Therefore, in the eyes of Momonga, Issho, and others, as long as Ortolan can prove himself equal to Charlotte Linlin, and as long as he can subdue Charlotte Linlin, this old mother, there is no need to break out of the war with the Big Mom Pirates. They will soon become an integrated entity.
"I also hoped for such a development." Ortolan sighed for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "But this is the best-case scenario. We cannot be complacent when we do things. We must prepare for the worst. Therefore, we must be ready to deal with the full-scale war that will follow in the New World at any time. If I cannot solve the problem in the way you expect, then we will take up the army, iron and blood, and crush all enemies that stand in our way!"
"I understand," the flying Momonga replied.
After finishing his conversation with the Momonga and the others, Ortolan dialed Den Den Mushi again.
A short while later, the Den Den Den Mushi) answered the call.
Before Ortolan could speak, a charming voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
"The Admiral is truly majestic; no wonder he's destined to stand in the heavens," Queen Stussy's charming laughter came from the Den Den Mushi.
Ortolan's face darkened, somewhat embarrassed. He had been caught up in the heat of the battle with Whitebeard, and then entered his Sulong form. He had indeed acted impulsively.
As a result, he made a ridiculous declaration in front of the entire world's live broadcast, saying that he wanted to stand in the sky. Thinking about it now, it's incredibly embarrassing.
After composing himself slightly, Ortolan said with a hint of helplessness, "Your Majesty, please don't tease me like that. Speaking of which, since you saw the live broadcast, you should know that what I promised you has been taken care of, right? That Bakin Stussy is now in my hands, still alive. So, are you going to come and finish her off yourself, or should I do it for you?"
After Ortolan finished speaking, Queen Stussy remained silent for a long time.
About a minute later, Her Majesty spoke again, saying, "I'll have to trouble you, Admiral, to lend me a hand."
Her tone remained unchanged, still charming and steady, but for some reason, Ortolan seemed to detect a hint of relief in her words, as if... the cage holding the canary had been opened.
Ortolan smiled and looked at Hina beside him, saying, "Give the order to take care of Bakin Stussy."
"What about Edward Weevil?" Hina asked after thinking for a moment.
Ortolan didn't speak, but looked at the Den Den Mushi and said, "Do you want this person?"
"Yes!" Stussy said with a hint of excitement, "Yes, I can control this person!"
"Understood." Ortolan then looked at Hina and said, "When you send Moria away, take Weevil with you and deliver him to the Golden City."
That's right, such a big thing happened in the New World, but Her Majesty the Queen is still firmly in charge of the Golden City. Moria will definitely continue to work in the Golden City afterward, so taking him along is a good idea and he can be given to Stussy.
Before Ortolan could speak, Stussy's voice came through the Den Den Mushi again. "It shouldn't be long before the Admiral arrives at headquarters, right?"
"Yes, sir," Ortolan replied casually.
"I have some important information that I can share with you, Admiral, as a token of my appreciation for your help this time." Stussy smiled, then his tone turned serious. "The Mary Geoise authorities have considered that the power you displayed this time was too... fierce? In any case, the Five Elders are currently considering how to transfer you from the New World."
Ortolan paused for a moment, then laughed and said nonchalantly, "I understand."
Stussy, hearing Ortolan's nonchalant tone, didn't say anything more, and changed the subject, saying, "After you're done with your work, I will personally visit you. Then we can move on to the second phase of cooperation."
"I'll be waiting anytime," Ortolan replied, then hung up the Den Den Mushi.
At this moment, Hina, standing beside her, asked with a worried expression, "Admiral, what should we do? If the Five Elders want to transfer you out of the New World..."
"What are you afraid of?" Ortolan waved his hand and said, "Don't think that just because you live in Mary Geoise you can talk nonsense in front of me. I don't give face to anyone who doesn't like what I say. Who in the Marines doesn't know my name, Ortolan? If you have the guts, go ahead and force me to transfer you. I want to see if those five have the courage!"
