Pirate: I partnered with Zefa to build a new navy!

After a brief exchange of greetings with Stusi, Ortorun took her around the construction site of the Golden City in a business-like manner.

He introduced the situation here to her in great detail, and also asked Tina to hand her the plan for the Golden City.

It's as if Ortorun is actually handing over the reins here to Stussy.

Stussy was completely open to all comers. At least on the surface, she showed the confidence of being the designated person in charge of the world government and had no intention of giving in to these powers.

At the same time, Ortorun also introduced many people in charge here to Stussy.

For example, Shichibukai, Moonlight, and Moria are responsible for the labor.

Tezolo is responsible for coordinating logistics, Master Tom is responsible for the modification of the island's ships, and Fisher Tiger and other partners of Fishman Island who will cooperate in the future.

"In two days, someone will be sent from Cake Island. If nothing else happens, it should be Totland's Candy Minister Perospero. He is the person in charge of Totland's Golden City project. .." Ortorun walked Stussi through the construction site, describing the situation.

"This project is nominally proposed by Totland's side, so after he comes, I have to cooperate with him, right?" Stussi raised a brow.

"I think Perospero has no interest in this place. If I hadn't strongly requested that someone come over there to at least go through the motions, I'm afraid none of them would be interested in coming. So the Queen doesn't have to worry about anyone doing anything here. If anything unpleasant happens, you can completely decide everything here." Ortorun said with a smile.

But Stussy has understood what he meant, that is, Totland will fully cooperate with the process here, and no one will interfere with other people's business.

The so-called "she has complete control" actually means that she can perform here with peace of mind, without having to worry about anyone coming to ruin the place.

"If you say that, General, I feel relieved." Stussy nodded clearly.

After a short pause, Stussy continued: "Although I shoulder the orders and responsibilities from Mary Joa, I know very well that my abilities are limited, and I may not be able to shoulder all the heavy responsibilities of the Golden City, so I also hope that the general can give me more guidance."

This means that although I am here from Marie Joa, I have no intention of meddling in other people's business. I will listen to whatever arrangements you have.

Both of them secretly expressed their sincerity, and the atmosphere became more pleasant.

There is really nothing to wander around in this construction site, and Her Majesty the Queen doesn't really want to know more about the situation here.

So after hanging out for a while, Ortorun invited Stusy to have lunch with him on his warship, and Stusy naturally agreed.

This lunch was not in the warship's mess hall, but in Altorun's reception room on the warship.

The two were sitting opposite each other at a dining table, and Ortoron enthusiastically helped Stussi pour a glass of red wine.

Tina originally wanted to keep an eye on her here, but Altolen gave her a job and asked her to leave.

After Oltorun and Stusi were left in the room, Oltorun took out a black box from the bookcase on the side and glanced at Stusi.

Seeing this, Stussi rolled her eyes at Ortorun charmingly and said, "Is the general so distrustful of others?"

Oltorun took the box and sat back at the dining table, laughing and saying: "How could it be? It just makes us both feel at ease, right?"

As he finished speaking, he pressed a button on the black box, and then heard a hissing sound, as if something spread out.

As a top agent, Stussy naturally knows what this black box is. It is currently the most advanced anti-eavesdropping and interference recording technology. As long as this box is activated, no signal waves can enter or be transmitted within a range of fifty meters. At the same time, all sound sources will be blurred and cannot be retained by currently known recording methods.

But just as Ortorun said, once the device was turned on, both of them felt relieved.

After all, although Ortorun has a certain foundation of trust in Stussi, because Queen Stussi has helped him clean up his mess many times.

But the two of them still didn't have enough contact. Ortorun was usually a very rough person, but when it was time to be careful, he was still very careful.

After opening the black box, the two did not start a conversation. It seemed that once the black box was opened, their disguises were stripped away, and the two of them were somewhat uncomfortable with it.

The food on the table exuded a tempting aroma, but neither of them really wanted to eat.

After looking at each other in silence for a long time, Oltorun put a smile on his face and said: "There were many omissions in our work before. I really want to thank the Queen for helping me deal with those flaws. All along, I really want to thank Her Majesty the Queen in person, and today I have the opportunity."

"Everyone says that General Benn is the mainstay of the World Government. He is loyal and brave. He is personally praised by the Five Old Stars as a 'loyal and righteous man'. Many people say with emotion that the World Government is really blessed to have you join us. Well..." Stussi first praised Ortorun, and then changed his tone and said: "But, in my opinion, the general does not really seem to be what everyone said..."

"Then what do I look like in the eyes of the Queen?" Altorun raised his eyebrows.

"In my opinion, the general is a very scary person..." Stussy said softly: "Most people who don't know you well think that the general is a rough and unruly martial artist who is brave but lacks carefulness. Some people who know you well know that you are a tiger at heart, but can smell the roses. You can also be said to be an all-rounder in life. You have many friends in the world, and you are interested in power, wealth, and love. You have a strong interest in status and make no secret of your pursuit of these. You are bold and generous. Countless people want to be your friend..."

But it was obvious that Stussy had not finished her words. After a brief pause, she looked into Oltorun's eyes and said seriously: "But in my opinion, these are not enough to describe you. We Although I haven’t had much face-to-face communication or contact, maybe I am the one who has truly understood and analyzed you in detail..."

"Really?" Ortorun held the red wine glass on the table and took a sip, noncommittal.

"Ambitious, deep-minded, and even unscrupulous...this is your quality." Stussy smiled and said: "You do want power, status, wealth, fame, etc., and you do want them all. You are all trying to get it, and you have already got too much, but it is still not enough to satisfy your appetite..."

Ortorun didn't speak, he just held the wine glass to his lips and looked at Queen Stussi.

Then, Queen Stusi said in a calm tone: "The combination of this power, this status, this wealth, this reputation, and all these things is what you want..."

"If you combine these things, what is it?" Altoron asked softly.

"World!" Stussy responded without hesitation.

Ortorun was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

But before Ortorun could speak, Stussy shrugged again and said: "However, these are just my guesses. I claim to have a detailed enough understanding of you, but who can guarantee that this is not the case?" What appearance do you want to show me? Fortunately, it doesn't matter. Whether it's a naval admiral, the overlord of the new world, or the king of some world, what you want actually doesn't matter to me. It doesn't make any sense...I just, very...very optimistic about you, so I want to provide some help before you start to gain momentum, in exchange for your favor, and to seek some things I want...that's all That’s all.”

"What do you want?" Ortorun asked, looking at Stussy.

This is not the first time Altorun has asked Stussy this question. The two met for the first time at the Big Mom Pirates' tea party on Cake Island.

Ortoron asked Stussy this very question.

At the time, Stussy said she wanted to be his friend.

Now, they can already be regarded as friends.

So Ortorun asked the question again.

"Freedom!" Stussy no longer used the vague and obscure description like last time, but responded accurately but powerfully.

"How can I give you so-called freedom?" Ortorun asked calmly without any surprise or doubt in his eyes.

"The first step is to kill Barkin Stussi for me. From now on, I want to be a unique Stussi!" Queen Stussi also responded with a very calm face.

Ortorun nodded and said, "No problem."

Although Stussy used the term 'first step', after Ortorun agreed, he did not mean to say the second step.

Altorun smiled upon seeing this and said: "It seems that the Queen still has some concerns, so let's wait until I kill her before continuing to deepen our friendship."

Seeing this, Stussy smiled and said, "Thank you so much, General, but although Whitebeard has never admitted anything, doing this may offend him."

Ortorun laughed and said domineeringly: "It doesn't matter, then I just happened to be named the strongest!"
