Making a Name Across the Seas!

Nanohana, also known as Nanohana.

This is a port city in the Alabasta Kingdom, with a history as long as that of the inland capital, Alubarna.

Due to the desert environment here, there are very few houses that exceed two stories in order to reduce the impact of wind and sand.

Meanwhile, the houses were mainly made of mud mixed with sand and hay, resulting in an earthy yellow color.

However, centuries of peaceful and prosperous life have made the people here pay more attention to the city's appearance compared to other places.

Therefore, unlike other cities in Alabasta, many buildings here are painted in various bright colors.

The main colors are bright yellow, pink, and the most attractive emerald green.

They even used relatively expensive fabrics to decorate houses and streets, and filled the gaps between houses with plants like Cactus.

Because it has the kingdom's largest and most reputable port, an elite Royal Army is stationed here year-round.

This directly led to a thriving commercial scene in the area, with sailboats of all types constantly passing through the harbor, and merchants on both sides of the street enthusiastically promoting their goods to the people rubbing shoulders with them.

Fruits, spices, perfumes, blankets, traditional clothing, cigars, and alcoholic beverages are all available. You can even find weapon shops selling both cold and hot weapons.

Recently, the residents here have been very curious about something: their country's Cobra has been living here.

It's worth noting that this prince, praised by countless people for his love for the people, had previously been inspecting and helping inland cities that faced hardship and frequent sandstorms.

At first, no one paid any attention, thinking he was just there for a quick look. But who knew that Prince Cobra would stay with his guards for over a week!

"Mr. Yixiao, did Colonel Vidal, whom you mentioned, encounter some kind of accident on the road?"

On the top floor of the best hotel in Nanohana, Prince Cobra, only nineteen years old, looked worriedly at Xiao, who was sitting opposite him drinking tea.

This made Yi Xiao secretly sigh that the prince was still so kind. After waiting for so many days, he not only showed no displeasure or anger, but was also worried about Vidal he had never even met.

"Yes, Mr. Yixiao, wouldn't it be better to make a call and ask?"

The speaker was extremely terrifying. Although he was wearing a black and blue collared Gentleman's suit, underneath was a white skeleton without any flesh or blood, plus an overly thick afro.

His appearance not only surprised Cobra, but also put the surrounding guards on high alert.

Nobody knows where Yixiao found this monster from.

After spending some time with him, everyone realized that this skeleton named Brook was not a bad guy, and was actually quite interesting.

"I called, but Vidal didn't answer." Yixiao calmly picked up his teacup and said, "I'd like to apologize to everyone on his behalf."

"However, since Vidal has promised to come, he will definitely come."

"It's good that you can come, it's good that you can come!" Prince Cobra nodded emphatically.

If Colonel 'Vidal abilities can truly help the people of this country, then it would be worth waiting another month.

[Knock knock!]

Just then, a rapid knocking sounded at the door, followed by a burly man with long, curly blond hair and dressed in a sharp butler's uniform rushing in.

"Your Majesty! Prince!" He seemed to have walked too fast, out of breath, and unable to speak clearly.

"Don't rush, Igaram, speak slowly," Prince Cobra said gently.

"La mi swoosh swoosh, swoosh swoosh--" Igaram took a deep breath and hummed a tune loudly, and immediately felt much better.

"Prince, this is the World Economy News Paper that just arrived today. It seems to mention Colonel Vidal of the Marine Headquarters, whom Mr. Yixiao mentioned!"

"Oh?"

As soon as he said that, everyone's eyes were drawn to the thick newspaper in Igaram's hand, especially Ikko, who even forgot to drink his tea.

"Let me see."

Cobra took the newspaper and flipped it open. Sure enough, the headline on the first page was 'The Defeat of the World Destroyer!'

The following content is not long; after noting the time and place, it describes in detail the four-day battle between Bundy Byrnndi World and Vidal in Sleep Ancient Town.

The level of detail was so high that it was as if someone had witnessed the battle from within a hundred meters, even commenting on the power of the final 'Giant Horn'.

It even included a photo of Bundy Byrnndi World, covered in burns, lying unconscious in the water with his eyes rolled back!

Below is a brief introduction to Forrest Vidal, but even less information is provided here, only his name, photograph, and rank at headquarters.

There was no information about disciples from the Sengoku, which is normal, since neither side publicized it extensively.

However, this kind of thing will eventually come to the outside world's attention; it's unavoidable, it's just a matter of time.

"A pirate with a net worth of 500 million Beli, that's amazing!" Cobra exclaimed, handing the newspaper to Issho.

Yixiao took the newspaper, Brook walked over and stood behind him, looking down to read it together. He was filled with curiosity about Vidal, who had used his Innate Observation Haki to foresee his existence.

If it weren't for that person, I'd probably still be stuck alone on the ship in the Misty Sea, not knowing when I'd see the light of day again.

"Hehehe!"

"It seems that this Mr. Vidal is just as strong as you, Mr. Ikko." He had already witnessed Ikko's strength these past few days; he could destroy ships with a flick of his wrist and cleave the sea with a single stroke.

"No, Vidal was stronger than me before, and now he's even stronger." After reading the newspaper, Ichisho gently placed it on the coffee table and then said to Cobra.

"Now it's clear: Vidal encountered Bondi Byrnndi World on his way here, which is why he was late."

As for not answering Den Den Mushi, that's understandable. He'd witnessed Bundy Byrnndi World's strength; there was no way he could answer a phone call during a fierce battle.

I never expected that in just over a year, my old friend would be able to defeat the opponent that they could only barely hold on to when they joined forces.

Is Admiral Zephyr's Special Training Camp really that amazing?

Meanwhile, thousands, even hundreds of thousands, or even more News Coo carry large bags of the latest newspapers to every corner of the sea.

East Blue, North Blue, West Blue, South Blue, Paradise, and that sea known as the New World — Vidal's name officially debuted on this vast ocean.

After today, all factions will know that the Marine Headquarters has a Colonel named Forrest Vidal!

In the North Blue, the Germa Kingdom, formed by dozens of giant Den Den Mushi dragging fortresses and other buildings, also received dozens of newspapers falling from the sky.

Large clients like them are long-term subscribers who pay the newspaper in advance every year, so the News Coo only need to accurately drop the newspapers.

Vinsmoke Judge, who escaped from Ovendo Island a few days ago, has officially become the King of the Germa Kingdom.

"Hoo--" After finishing reading the newspaper, Judge crumpled it into a ball and threw it to the retainers waiting below, his expression extremely gloomy.

"Immediately load the gold and jewels worth 400 million Beli onto the ship and deliver them to G-8 Branch as quickly as possible!"

"From now on, it must be delivered on schedule every April, with four warships dispatched for escort. Absolutely no accidents can be tolerated!"

The retainers below were puzzled as to why this was happening, but this Judge was not as good-tempered as the previous kings, so they dared not ask and turned to leave to prepare things.

Judge stared coldly at his retainer's retreating figure. "Forrest Vidal, our Germa money is a hot potato!"

Clang! Vidal has finally made a name for himself on the high seas! Although he's only a minor figure now, one day those monsters at the top will take his existence seriously!
