The Furious Five Elders, Marine Liberalism!

Ortolan's words left Sengoku with no way to refute them.

Sakazuki is very strong, that's for sure. After all, he's a man who sits in the position of Marine Admiral, how could he be weak?

In a one-on-one situation, Sakazuki might be able to hold his own against Charlotte Linlin and Kaido.

If it's a one-on-two situation, Sakazuki really can't handle it.

Putting aside the question of Sakazuki's strength, another crucial element of war must be considered: is changing generals on the eve of battle reasonable and appropriate?

Sakazuki is currently in the New World, but he has no foundation. When Ortolan took office, he swept through the New World Marines, sending away all those who were not his own people, leaving only Ortolan's loyal followers.

Even if Sakazuki were to be transferred to the New World as Governor-General Admiral, it would still take him a long time to integrate all of Ortolan's loyal followers under his command, to direct their actions, and to understand their situation.

Moreover, the situation of the New World Marines is extremely complex, and it can almost be said to be a separate system independent of the Marines. It will take Sakazuki two or three years to figure out this problem.

In this state of complete confusion and ignorance, sending Sakazuki to the New World and forcing him into battle is nothing short of a joke.

If Sakazuki fails to maintain order, the current favorable situation in the New World will instantly collapse.

If the defeat is severe, the situation will be even more dangerous. Having devoured many of the New World's treasures, the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates will grow to an unimaginable level of terror.

At that point, forget about suppressing them anymore; they might even attack Mary Geoise!

In this situation, considering the relative threat levels, is it better to let Marine Admiral Ortolan, who has some problems, return to the New World to reorganize the situation and reach new heights?

Or should Sakazuki go on an adventure?

Is there even a need to think about the answer?

"The reason is a good reason, very valid." Sengoku first affirmed that Ortolan had created this situation.

He then sighed softly, saying with some helplessness, "The Five Elders aren't fools. By doing this, you're essentially raising an enemy and inviting disaster upon yourself. At the same time, you're negating your own so-called loyalty on some level. After this war is over, they won't trust you anymore..."

Ortolan laughed heartily, picked up the tea on the table, and drank it all in one gulp. "Fleet Admiral, after this battle, the New World will be unified, and we will have no enemies in our rear. We will be secure and worry-free. At that time, why would we need that little bit of trust from Mary Geoise?"

From the day he was transferred to G-5 and started causing trouble, Ortolan was very cunning. Sooner or later, he and Mary Geoise would have to face each other. Before that, Ortolan's forbearance, acting, and even so-called 'loyalty' were all just to buy more time to accumulate his own power.

Now, this power is enough. When he wipes out the New World, he will have no worries. Just as he said, when that time comes, what need will there be for trust?

Sengoku listened to Ortolan's confident words and remained silent for a long time before looking at Ortolan and saying, "In that case, let's go all out! Admiral Bane Ortolan, listen to my command!"

Upon hearing this, Ortolan immediately stood up from the sofa and stood at attention.

"By order of the Fleet Admiral, you are hereby ordered to return to the New World immediately to take charge of the overall situation and deal with the war between our Marines and the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates' pirate alliance. You must end this war as quickly as possible and in a victorious manner!" Fleet Admiral Sengoku solemnly instructed.

Ortolan's expression was resolute as he saluted. "Yes, sir! I guarantee to complete the mission, all for justice!"

After a moment, Ortolan looked at Fleet Admiral Sengoku, smiled, and whispered, "Loyalty!"

Fleet Admiral Sengoku paused for a moment, then looked behind Ortolan, at the top of the wall of the distant office where the calligraphy was hanging.

"The Justice That Reigns Supreme"

A moment later, the Fleet Admiral Sengoku smiled and nodded, "Loyalty!"

Ortolan didn't linger any longer; he hadn't even been at the Marines Headquarters for half a day before he was about to leave again.

After he closed the door and disappeared completely, Sengoku sat at the Fleet Admiral's desk, sighed, and shook his head. "Now, it's my turn to help you deal with the pressure from Mary Geoise..."

After saying this, a resolute look flashed in Sengoku's eyes. He picked up the Den Den Mushi on the table and called the Five Elders.

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

Panger Castle, the top floor, the Chamber of Power.

At this moment, the Five Elders, including Saint V. Nusjuro, was listening to the report from Fleet Admiral Sengoku Den Den Den Mushi.

His expression was extremely gloomy at this moment, with a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. However, after Sengoku finished explaining the situation, he suppressed his temper and spoke in a very steady, even gentle tone. "Is that so? That is indeed difficult to handle. In that case, let's let Ortolan deal with the situation in the New World first..."

"Thank you for your understanding," the Fleet Admiral Sengoku replied softly.

After comforting Sengoku for a while, Saint V. Nusjuro hung up the Den Den Mushi.

However, the moment he placed the Den Den Mushi on the table, his expression turned ferocious. He grabbed the ashtray from the table and smashed it onto the soft, delicate carpet.

The ashtray shattered instantly, demonstrating the immense force involved!

"That bastard Ortolan just returned to Marine Headquarters, and the Great Pirate War broke out in the New World. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?!" Saint V. Nusjuro roared angrily.

Betray!

He felt betrayed!

Of course, he was the one who strongly supported Ortolan, and was even the first to suggest that when the time was right, he should be given the status of Celestial Dragons.

At that time, he truly believed in Ortolan!

But at this moment, this situation, the current circumstances, have completely deviated from his original expectations!

That damned bastard Ortolan betrayed his expectations!

That's right, loyalty that isn't absolute is absolutely disloyal!

Previously, Ortolan had never embarrassed Mary Geoise even once; he was absolutely loyal to Mary Geoise.

But now, he has disrupted the Five Elders' original plans in this way. Even if he didn't do anything too outrageous, this kind of defiance is already disloyalty to the Five Elders!

Ortolan is no longer as subservient to the Five Elders as he used to be!

Saint M. Jaygarcia crossed his arms and leaned against the windowsill, watching the furious Wu Qiu Saint V. Nusjuro. After a moment, he spoke, "It's not just Ortolan. Haven't you noticed yet? Even Sengoku, whom we've always trusted so much, is no longer loyal."

"Without a doubt, Sengoku wants to use Ortolan's power in the New World to, to a certain extent, break free from the constraints that Mary Geoise places on him..." Saint Nashuro voice.

"The CP has already reported the results of the East Blue operation: a resounding victory. The Revolutionary Army's Eastern East Army headquarters in the East Blue has been almost completely wiped out. Even the East Army Commander, Ginny, has been captured and is being escorted to our Mary Geoise... Previously, after the Whitebeard Pirates were wiped out, I thought the chaotic situation on the high seas had been somewhat salvaged. Next, we just needed to stabilize the situation and proceed step by step. Before long, we could suppress the global chaos again. But now it seems that while we created the Revolutionary Army and wiped out the Whitebeard, we've also allowed the Marines's liberty cause to rise again... This trend cannot be allowed to continue. It's a problem that deserves more attention than the Revolutionary Army!" Saint Saturn said with a gloomy expression and a cold tone.

In fact, the World Government have existed for over eight hundred years, and the history of Marines is just as long.

Throughout this long history, there have been many Marines elites who dared to fight, trying to break the shackles that the World Government had placed around the Marines's neck and fight for a better future for the Marines.

This force has always been referred to by Mary Geoise as the 'Marines Liberty'.

However, the Marines's freedom of action has never defeated Mary Geoise even once. On the contrary, it has gradually disappeared under repeated suppression. To this day, there are many, even hundreds, of naval personnel in the Marines who have not shown any signs of such a thing.

Now that Ortolan has gained momentum, Sengoku Fleet Admiral Sengoku probably wants to do something too. Thus, Marines libertarianism has been revived.

For Mary Geoise, for the Five Elders.

The Marines's freedom of movement is a far more terrifying force than the Revolutionary Army; it must be eradicated!

I believe that allowing this kind of thinking and this trend to spread will destroy the foundation of the World Government military power, and is a force that can truly destroy the World Government!

Upon hearing this, the bald-headed Saint Nashuro gritted his teeth and said, "We can no longer tolerate these troublemakers in the Marines. We need to come up with a solution to these problems immediately. Neither Ortolan nor Sengoku, nor even Zephyr, Garp, and the others, can be allowed to remain in the Marines any longer!"

Saint Nashuro didn't dare to make any wild claims, such as saying he would kill Ortolan, Sengoku, and the others.

That's unrealistic, and we don't have that capability.

However, they cannot remain in the Marines. Whether they are transferred out of the Marines or expelled from the Marines, it doesn't matter. They cannot continue to serve as high-ranking officers in the Marines!

This will undoubtedly greatly weaken the Marines's strength, but considering the current situation, once Ortolan has dealt with all the Great Pirate of the New World, it is not unacceptable that the Marines's strength will be weakened.

Moreover, this situation is not without a solution. If all else fails, we can always start World Military Draft!

Even if World Military Draft brings hidden dangers, it is still better than letting these Marines libertarians continue to hold Marines power!
