The Strongest Dad on the Seas Was Sengoku!

After thinking silently for a while, Dragon shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I still can't offer you any help with this situation."

Trust is a difficult hurdle; Dragon cannot simply trust Ortolan after listening to only a few words from Ortolan.

In reality, Dragon was merely trying to make contact with these scholars, but the scholars also found it difficult to trust Dragon and remained wary, unwilling to engage in any further communication with Dragon.

"Is that so?" Ortolan sighed softly and waved his hand, saying, "Never mind, I won't make things difficult for you."

Seeing that Ortolan didn't press the matter further, Dragon smiled and said, "I'm glad you understand."

In truth, there was nothing more for the two to say. Ortolan handed the newspaper back to Ivankov, then looked at Dragon and said, "We've become friends through this misunderstanding, how about exchanging Den Den Mushi?"

Dragon seemed interested in Ortolan as well, and immediately exchanged Den Den Mushi signals with Ortolan, saying, "Although this meeting was not pleasant, I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Ortolan grinned and said, "I hope so too."

Soon, Dragon and Ivankov watched as Ortolan and Gion left the deserted island belonging to the Freedom Army, using Geppo.

Standing on the shore, watching Ortolan and Gion's figures gradually disappear from sight, Ivankov asked, "What do we do now? Should we move? But it doesn't seem like they're planning anything against us."

"Perhaps." Dragon shook his head and then said, "We can't trust them. We may not be hostile now, but that may not be the case in the future. This base is no longer discreet. It's time to give up and find an island to settle down on."

Dragon would never gamble his life and the future of the Freedom Army on Gion and Ortolan.

Whether or not they report the situation here, Dragon is going to move.

"What I'm worried about right now isn't the island itself, but the scholars. The World Government has started paying attention to them. Also, this was originally supposed to be a mission for the CP Agency, but now the Marines has gotten involved. This means the World Government is taking this seriously, and the scholars are likely to run into big trouble... Especially that Bane Ortolan, he's not only powerful, but he also seems to have good management skills." Dragon said with some helplessness.

"It would be great if scholars were willing to cooperate with us," Ivankov said regretfully.

Both situations resulted in death, but Ohara's actions ultimately led to his demise, while Dragon and his group transformed the Freedom Army Forces into the Revolutionary Army, causing headaches for the World Government, a problem they couldn't solve even after twenty years.

This is the difference in ability. As the saying goes, "A scholar's rebellion is doomed to fail," which describes the bookish scholars like Ohara.

In Dragon's mind, if a full cooperation could be reached with these mysterious scholars, it would be much more difficult for the World Government to solve these problems. This would be a win-win situation for everyone!

On the other side, aboard the warship, as soon as Ortolan landed on the deck, he instructed his men to quickly find him a newspaper, as he hadn't finished reading the one he was reading earlier.

Gion asked with some curiosity, "Why did you exchange Den Den Mushi with Dragon? You don't really think there's a possibility of cooperating with him in the future, do you? Their Freedom Army is now on an increasingly dangerous path. I think there's a high probability that we'll become enemies in the future."

"Does our Marines have a regulation that forbids us from possessing the enemy's Den Den Mushi communication) contact information?" Ortolan asked with a smile.

Gion's lips twitched, and she replied, "Indeed, no."

"That's settled then, isn't it? Mr. Garp and the Admiral Sengoku both have ways to contact Dragon, don't they? Even you, I think you do too, so I just need a signal wave, it's no big deal..." Ortolan said, trying to fool him.

Gion Ortolan seemed to be trying to bluff, Gion didn't press the matter further and instead asked, "What's the plan now?"

"Continue investigating the scholars' whereabouts. If possible, I hope to find a way to communicate with them," Ortolan said directly.

"I think you're dreaming. You can't even find them, yet you want their contact information?" Gion retorted.

Soon, the warships began to move, their target being the 146th branch of the Marines stationed in the South Blue. Ortolan planned to go there to rest and replenish supplies, while mobilizing the manpower and resources of the branch Marines in the South Blue to cast a wide net and search for the scholar's whereabouts.

It is worth mentioning that the 146th branch of the Marines stationed in the South Blue is located within the territory of the Sorbeth Kingdom.

"Rear Admiral Bane, here's the newspaper you requested!" A Marine Admiral commander approached Ortolan and handed him the newspaper.

"Thank you," Ortolan replied with a smile, taking the newspaper and continuing to read.

There's still quite a bit of interesting information in today's newspaper.

Like Sand Crocodile Crocodile and Douglas Bullet, who were mentioned earlier.

The clash between these two men at Jadenzburg directly led to the destruction of the island and the casualties of nearly 20,000 people, which was absolutely brutal.

However, Jadenzburg is an island located in the New World, and it is not a member of the World Government. According to the ridiculous laws of this World Government, it has no human rights, so probably no one will take them seriously.

Besides information about these two guys, there are also some things happening in the North Blue, such as the conflict between the two major villains in the North Blue, which has led to several countries in the North Blue being plunged into war.

These two major villains are Germa 66, led by Vinsmoke Judge, who escaped from the MADS research team, and the Donquixote Family, which has grown stronger over the years and has basically monopolized all kinds of businesses in the North Blue Underworld.

The newspaper did not publish a photo of Judge, but it did publish a candid shot of Doflamingo. In the photo, Doflamingo is standing on the war-torn dock with an evil and arrogant smile on his face. In the background, there are people crying and screaming, which contrasts sharply with his evil smile.

Ortolan wasn't very interested in Judge, but he was quite interested in Doflamingo.

"A born evil Donquixote brat, huh? Interesting..." Ortolan chuckled softly.

"That guy's identity is complicated. As long as he doesn't do anything particularly outrageous, the World Government won't touch him." Gion Station, behind Ortolan, also saw the photo in the newspaper and said with some annoyance.

"If I remember correctly, the adopted son of the Admiral Sengoku, the junior student currently taking classes under Teacher Zephyr, the guy named Rosinante, is his younger brother, right?" Ortolan asked.

This news was actually very closely guarded secret. Only a very small number of people in the Marines knew that Admiral Sengoku had an adopted son, and coincidentally, Ortolan was now one of those very few people.

After all, he is now considered a person with deep connections and a strong background in the Marines. He was personally recruited into the Marines by Garp, is a disciple of Admiral Zephyr, a direct subordinate of Admiral Sengoku, and a good comrade-in- Fleet Admiral and incomparably brave bodyguard of the Fleet Admiral. His connections are incredibly strong, okay?

Because Rosinante was studying under Teacher Zephyr, and because Ortolan had entered this high-level circle of connections, he was not unfamiliar with Rosinante; the two had even met a few times.

Putting aside the impressions in the original story, Ortolan only talks about his few simple meetings with Rosinante, and his impression of Rosinante is still very good.

That guy is polite, gentle, and kind. He may seem a bit naive or foolish in many things, but he is definitely a good Marines with a strong sense of justice.

"Yes, that's right. Compared to his older brother, Rosinante is practically a saint..." Gion exclaimed.

Whether Rosinante was a saint or not, the Ortolan tribe would not comment, but whenever he thought of this matter, he had immense admiration for the Admiral Sengoku!

On this vast ocean, who is the strongest "Father King"? Many people would probably immediately think of Whitebeard, that old guy who likes to act as a godfather.

But Newgate is far inferior to the Sengoku.

His most remarkable achievement was adopting Roger's son, but in terms of seniority, he was in a Dragon position. Garp was a complete scoundrel; he made Ace his grandfather, dragging his old rivals Roger and Newgate down the ranks Roger Newgate in one fell swoop. It was utterly outrageous.

Compared to the others, Sengoku was much more refined. He didn't have as many sons Newgate, but his only one was of exceptional quality, a genuine descendant of the ten kings, a purebred True Celestial Dragon of the Yellow Banner Mary Geoise.

So in a way, Sengoku was acting like a grandson to the Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise, but back at Marine Headquarters, he was the Celestial Dragons' father.

"Do you think it's possible that after being bullied by Admiral Sengoku Mary Geoise, she might return to our Marine Headquarters and beat up Rosinante to vent her anger?" Ortolan suddenly asked Gion with a mischievous glint in his eye.

Gion paused for a moment, then stroked her chin and said, "The way you're saying that makes me want to go back to Marineford and beat up Rosinante."
