The New World Family Status Showdown Was About to Begin
At the port of Golden City, the Donut, which had come from afar, slowly came to a stop.
Katakuri, with his towering figure, stepped out of the cabin, surveyed the outside world, and muttered to himself, "This construction speed is truly impressive; the title of 'Labor King' is well-deserved."
The gangway was lowered, and Katakuri quickly stepped off the ship.
Hina was already waiting there. As soon as she saw Katakuri come down, she immediately went up to him and greeted him politely, "Mr. Katakuri, you've arrived."
Katakuri knew that this pink-haired girl was Ortolan's personal secretary, so he didn't put on any arrogant attitude. He nodded gently and said, "Hina, it's been a long time. Where is your Admiral?"
Hina pointed to the ship next to her and said, "The Admiral is having tea with Ms. Stussy from Pleasure District."
"Stussy?" Katakuri looked over there, and just then, he saw Ortolan, his face flushed and a smile on his face, walking out of the ship's cabin.
Stussy, who was behind him, winked at him, and the two of them said something unintelligible, as if they were flirting. Soon after, Ortolan stepped off the ship with a flourish.
As he came down, he saw Katakuri and waved happily, saying, "Second brother, you're here!"
Katakuri, seeing Ortolan's beaming face, was filled with exasperation and stepped forward to scold him, "Ortolan, how could you do such a thing? Your two wives are waiting for you on Cake Island, both pregnant, and you still came to Golden City to fool around with Stussy!?"
As soon as Katakuri finished speaking, Hina, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment, then cried out as if she had been deceived, "Admiral, didn't you say we were just going in for some tea?! Liar!!"
Ortolan was stunned. After a moment of blankness, he quickly said, "Second brother, what are you saying? How did I fool around? I have important things to discuss with Stussy!"
"Wipe off your lipstick first!" Katakuri glared at Ortolan.
Ortolan instinctively raised his hand to wipe the lipstick mark from his cheek, then protested, "It's not what you think..."
At this moment, Ortolan was truly wronged. He really hadn't discussed anything in depth with Stussy, but the Queen always liked to tease him, so when she came out of the cabin just now, she took advantage of his unpreparedness and attacked him with a bite!
I managed to explain it to Hina and Katakuri, but they clearly still looked down on Ortolan's behavior. Are you kidding me? What's your strength? What's Stussy's strength? You think she can just ambush you like that? You clearly weren't planning on dodging, were you?
Well, you know what, Ortolan really didn't intend to hide... he just happened to see Katakuri and forgot to wipe off the lipstick stain.
"So, what important thing did you discuss with Stussy?" Katakuri asked, raising an eyebrow.
Ortolan then shook the dossier he was holding and said with a smile, "Do you know what this is?"
"What?" Katakuri asked, somewhat curious.
"This is a letter of understanding and invitation signed by fifty Affiliated Nation during the World Conference, the highest meeting of the World Government held in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise last year..." Ortolan said softly.
"A letter of understanding and an invitation?" Katakuri was initially puzzled, but then seemed to realize something and exclaimed, "About Totto Land Totto Land?"
"That's right." Ortolan nodded. "This letter of understanding signifies that the World Government can forgive and forget the past actions of Totto Land Totto Land, possessing the highest legal effect. It also invites Totto Land Totto Land to join the World Government as a new Affiliated Nation. Furthermore, this document has already been signed and stamped. After the World Conference concluded, it was secretly sent to Stussy. I won't go into details. After the Marineford War on Archino Island, Mary Geoise considered recalling this document several times, but ultimately couldn't make a decision. Just now, Stussy handed this document to me as a pledge of allegiance. In other words... Mary Geoise can no longer take back this signed document..."
Katakuri looked at the dossier in Ortolan's hand and said in a deep voice, "In other words, as long as we, the Totto Land Totto Land, sign this dossier and publish it in the newspapers to announce it to the world, legally speaking, we will be Affiliated Nation of the World Government?"
"Of course, and then on the annual Celestial Gold Payment Day, the Celestial Gold must be paid on time," Ortolan laughed.
Hearing this talk of "Celestial Gold," Katakuri couldn't help but scoff and said, "Are you going to hand over Celestial Gold?"
"I won't pay. What decent person would pay for Celestial Gold?" Ortolan waved his hand dismissively.
Next year, they might even be attacking Mary Geoise, so what the hell!
However, this dossier is indeed very valuable, and it was signed by the World Conference. The Five Elders cannot arbitrarily invalidate it, because legally speaking, although the Five Elders hold the so-called highest power, the World Conference is above everyone else!
"With this file, once I return to Cake Island, cure the old woman's illness, and then become related to Kaido through marriage, we can officially become members of the same camp after the news is published. At that time, we will all be loyal warriors serving the World Government!" Ortolan exclaimed.
Kaido's decision to arrange a marriage between his daughter Yamato and Ortolan's son Ace essentially means that he is joining the game, and the stakes are his Beasts Pirates.
If he teams up with Charlotte Linlin and defeats Ortolan, the subsequent division of profits will be a matter between Charlotte Linlin and her little brother, and Ortolan will have no right to speak.
But if he loses even when he teams up with Charlotte Linlin, then the Beasts Pirates will be used as a bargaining chip and automatically go to the winner, namely, Ortolan.
As for Ortolan, he certainly wouldn't refuse, and he already had a plan in mind: after the battle, he would have Totto Land Totto Land annex the entire Beasts Pirates, completely merging the two pirate forces into one.
From now on, there will be no Beasts Pirates, only Totto Land Totto Land Island.
At that time, when this file is brought out again, Kaido be exonerated and brought ashore. Everyone will then be a member of the World Government system, a loyal subordinate of Mary Geoise.
Only in this way can it be considered legitimate, and Ortolan, as the New World Marines, can openly and legitimately engage in full cooperation with its Affiliated Nation Totto Land, Totto Land.
Of course, it was called a full cooperation, but in reality, at that time, he should have already been in charge of everything.
This is the winner's right!
Thus, Mary Geoise and the World Government have completely exploited Ortolan, and the New World Government.
Once the World Government has taken the blame, Ortolan will raise the banner of justice and launch a counterattack on Mary Geoise!
After discussing the details of this case file, Katakuri asked, "Alright, is there anything else you need to deal with?"
Upon hearing this, Ortolan looked towards Hina. Hina quickly flipped through the schedule in her hand, compared it to the schedule, and shook her head, saying, "Admiral, all your affairs in the Golden City have been taken care of."
Ortolan then looked at Katakuri and said, "That's all. Let's go, it's time to go to Cake Island to make our move!"
Katakuri's eyes crinkled with a smile as he replied, "Very well, Mom has been waiting for you for a long time..."
Soon, Ortolan and his companions boarded the Donut. Before long, the uniquely shaped Donut left the port of Golden City and headed towards Cake Island.
A family conference to decide the future of the New World is about to be held, and a family martial arts tournament to determine the leading position in the New World is also about to begin.
There are only three participants in this competition.
They are Admiral Bane Ortolan of the Marines, his wife Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, and his in-law Kaido.
