The Woman Who Came to Visit
Vidal originally thought that today's surprise would be Vincent and Comil, but when he saw the two ships of marines they brought, he realized that the surprise was yet to come!
These 1,600 marines were all skilled in using the Three-Three System Tactics, and most of the junior officers were proficient in Konoha Style Body Technique.
Especially the move "Shadow of the Dancing Leaf," which can be combined with the "Shave" move from the Six Powers.
According to Vincent, this has long been one of the four major G-class branches in the first half of the Grand Line, and is used as one of the necessary conditions for assessment and promotion to corporal.
It shouldn't be long before it's officially accepted by headquarters and designated as mandatory training for all marines.
Vidal used an hour to have Lieutenant Weini lead thirty marines from ship 404 in a sparring match against Captain Rabani's thirty marines.
The fact that the former was no match for the latter was not surprising, given that the marines on ship 404 had only been exposed to the Three-Three System Tactics for a very short time.
The most eye-catching person during the sparring session was Captain Rabani, who managed to flick Weini, who White Bear Fruit, away with just two fingers!
Even now, Vidal can still vividly recall the moment when Rabani flicked Weini's forehead with one finger, turning him into a cannonball and blasting him out of the arena!
Captain Rabani, nearing thirty, was clearly far superior to Weini, a young Captain who had only recently graduated.
This made Vidal feel like he had found a treasure, even though the man was a little older.
By the way, it's worth mentioning that Nacil is no longer a pirate. From the moment Sengoku stamped her seal on her file, she has been a private First-Class Seaman at Sengoku!
Well, I'd say I've been promoted three levels in a row.
After having dinner with everyone, Vidal called Vincent to his office on the ship and had a frank discussion with him about his qualifications.
With the other person's best interests at heart, he didn't mince words, speaking frankly and directly pointing out their problems and solutions.
But Vincent ultimately did not give a definite answer, saying he would have to think about it.
That's fine, since there's still almost a month until June. We just need to decide before heading to Sabaody Archipelago.
During this period, Vidal chose to stay at home and play with his eight-year-old Enel and seven-year-old Rosinante.
I must say, these two little boys are really cute, especially after they made two swings and a fancy wooden slide in the yard, they were ecstatic.
As Vidal gently pushed the two little figures that were tumbling back and forth, he smiled at Bullet, who was returning home from school.
"Bullet, please give them a push for me from now on. After all, you'll be entering the Special Training Camp next year, and you won't have much time left to spend with Enel and the others."
Bullet nodded silently, then after a moment, looking at the three of them enjoying themselves, he said, "Does that Special Training Camp have monsters like you?"
Vidal was taken aback, then immediately realized that the guy was referring to Sakazuki, Dragon, Borsalino, and possibly also Issho.
"What, Gion others can't satisfy you?"
"Hmph, they're too weak, they can't muster any strength at all. We have to be careful not to hit them too hard!" Bullet said disdainfully.
"But I heard from Gion that Tokikake asked his family for a Devil Fruit, so maybe he's become a bit stronger."
What fruit?
As Vidal spoke, he continued to serve the two little ones. It was clear that they truly enjoyed the feeling of floating in mid-air, and the courtyard was filled with their silvery laughter.
Hey, it would be even better if these two were little girls. Maybe I should get them a couple of dresses to try on sometime?
Hehehe.
"I don't know. This guy doesn't use his abilities at school. He said he'd wait until he's fully trained and then surprise me at the Special Training Camp," Bullet said nonchalantly, looking at the weeds at his feet.
"Alright, give me a call when the time comes. I'm quite curious about Tokikake's Devil Fruit ability." Vidal smiled.
"As for your question about whether there are any monsters in your Special Training Camp this year, well, I'll tell you, but you have to keep it a secret." He teased his eldest son, which piqued the latter's interest and made him look up.
"Really?"
"Yes, although it's hard to say how he compares to me, he's definitely no less than Sakazuki or Borsalino," Vidal commented earnestly.
If Bullet before he ate the Mahes Fruit, he might be able to say with some certainty that Bullet was somewhat inferior to Kuzan.
But now, it's really uncertain; we'll have to wait and see who's stronger.
"Also Logia?!" Bullet's interest grew even stronger, and he even took two steps forward.
Vidal hesitated for a moment, and even reduced the force with which he pushed Enel others, which made Enel and Rosinante realize that their flying plane was getting lower and lower.
"You'd better keep this a secret, kid. What I'm telling you now is all confidential."
"I understand!" Bullet's smile widened. Although Vidal didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was clear.
He's definitely a Logia Fruit user!
This made him eagerly anticipate the arrival of the Special Training Camp, but unfortunately, there were still a full six months to go.
"Dad, push harder, or we won't fly anymore!" Enel turned around and urged, while Rosinante quietly watched Vidal.
"Alright, alright, pay attention, takeoff!" Vidal laughed as he sent them into the sky again.
"You love flying so much, I'll let you fly as much as you want when you grow up!"
"By the way, how's your Devil Fruit ability?" Vidal turned to look at him. "Although I told you not to focus your energy on your ability, it would be a waste to completely ignore it."
"Not bad. Maybe it's because of the Zoan, but the power of the Sonic Boom increases along with stamina!" Bullet laughed, looking at the palm that was shimmering with golden light.
"As for handling, I haven't paid much attention to it. I think as long as it can fly and increase my speed, its destructive power is enough."
That's just his personality; he doesn't like overly meticulous procedures, preferring straightforwardness.
"Alright, then let's find some time to have a match, otherwise it'll be hard to find the time after I go to Sabaody," Vidal said with a smile.
"Hmm." Bullet nodded silently, not refuting the term "father and son."
He has now basically accepted the relationship, but he still finds it difficult to say the words "father" or "dad."
"Lord Vidal!"
Suddenly, a woman's voice called out from outside the courtyard, and Vidal and Bullet instinctively turned their heads to look.
"Nacil?"
"How did you find your way here!" Vidal looked at the woman in surprise; she must have just returned from Alabasta.
Even if you're back, you should stay on the warship. Also, why did you change your clothes? Where's that pink cheongsam and short skirt you wore before?
Why did you change into a normal knee-length pink cheongsam? And what's that thing you're holding in your hand? A gift box? What are you trying to do?!
Bullet, Enel, Rosinante also looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared with curiosity.
"Oh, who is this?" Perhaps hearing a woman's voice, Mother Enid suddenly came out.
The white coat Nacil was wearing made her feel a sense of familiarity at first glance, because she was also a doctor.
"Hmm." Vidal was speechless. What on earth was this all about?
Dear readers, did you know that Kuzan only four years older Bullet? So, if we're only considering their natural talents, who do you think is more qualified?
