The Last Peace?

As the sun dipped below the horizon and night enveloped Sabaody, the main force returned to base one after another, but several small naval squads began patrolling the streets of the Inn Street and shipyard.

In particular, at some intersections where there is a high volume of people, a three-story observation tower has suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Three marines stood atop it, surveying three directions, with a small naval-style Den Den Mushi) behind them.

"We don't have enough Image Den Den Mushi!"

Inside the base's conference room, Vidal looked at the group of officers and soldiers before him and spoke.

At this moment, he was sitting in the main seat, with two Commodore and seven colonels sitting on either side of the long table, and about twenty lieutenant officers standing straight against the wall with their hands behind their backs!

There should have been more junior officers, but Vidal had just withdrawn a batch that afternoon.

"What I want is complete control over all streets in these two areas! Listen carefully, all, not just the main roads!"

"A room within the base must be specifically designated as a surveillance room!"

"Surveillance personnel must immediately notify the nearest patrol team to the location upon spotting suspicious individuals or criminal activity!"

Vidal understood the principle that haste makes waste.

So his first small goal is to firmly control the two areas on the left and right sides of the Marine Base, which are also the most prosperous areas in the entire Sabaody.

"But we don't have that many Image Den Den Mushi."

After returning from the parade, Brigadier General Bivis and Brigadier General Eller decided to follow Vidal for the time being.

I'll take care of that.

"The next three months are crucial. I've given you officers a schedule to take turns overseeing the Inn Street and the shipyard. Anyone who dares to cause trouble during this period will be executed on the spot!"

Vidal issued the order with a chilling air, knowing that the various factions would definitely make a move.

But he won't back down!

We'll discuss and negotiate later. Right now, we must suppress the situation for a period of time. Only in this way can we seize the initiative; otherwise, it will all end in a half-hearted effort.

"How large is the area affected by this disturbance?" a lieutenant Lieutenant Colonel asked.

Vidal looked over and said, "The navy's authority extends to its entire scope, understand?"

Some kingdoms appoint local sheriffs to handle basic incidents such as theft, robbery, and fighting, but the Sabaody Archipelago does not belong to any one country; it is a region directly under the World Government.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the navy stationed here also serves as a policing officer.

However, the navy's previous inaction has subtly led to this 'responsibility' being handed over to the security forces under various powers.

But their main concern is ensuring that no one causes trouble at their own establishment.

This creates a situation where residents have no one to turn to when something happens, such as a missing relative or a robbery, and they are helpless. In a normal country, however, they could seek help from a sheriff in such cases.

What Vidal wants to do is to take back these rights that should belong to the navy!

But doing so will definitely offend a lot of people.

But so what?

"Also, at the entrance to the shipyard area, have two warships stationed there. Any vessel entering must first verify its identity!"

This move was even more radical, because it cut off the entire financial lifeline of Area 50.

However, Vidal was determined to bring out all those monsters and demons.

This wasn't just his confidence in his own strength and power, but also his confidence in the Marine Headquarters located next to the Sabaody Archipelago!

To put it bluntly, even if he can't win, he can easily summon Admiral to take charge.

So what's there to be afraid of?

"Rogers, you three need to pay more attention to training. Those who are willing to come to training mean there's still hope."

"Yes!" Rogers, Vincent, Comil responded in unison.

"Okay, that's settled then, let's call it a day." With that, Vidal left the meeting room first, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed as soon as he left.

"I have a feeling something bad is going to happen tonight," a Colonel sighed.

"Not necessarily. I think tonight might be the last moment of peace."

Another Lieutenant Colonel analyzed, "It will take time for all parties to find out information about Lieutenant Vidal, and they will definitely communicate with each other as well."

"That's right, didn't we just find out that our adjutant is General Xian Shi's disciple?" Brigadier General Eller laughed.

They had already heard from Vidal that Sengoku supported this matter.

I also learned about the relationship between the two.

This gave everyone present confidence in Vidal, after all, he had both strength and background, which made them feel that he was reliable.

Moreover, half a day has passed, and they haven't received a call from headquarters to stop them.

With no movement coming from Antoine Vice Admiral's office, and since the base commander had fallen silent, it was natural to listen to the adjutant!

Back in his room, Vidal began to think about the Den Den Mushi.

He went straight to Antoine's office after leaving the meeting room and explained that he wanted to purchase Den Den Mushi).

But as expected, he was met with resistance. Antoine refused, citing the base's lack of funds. He could still recall the other man's expressionless, somewhat ashen face.

There's nothing we can do about that.

After all, he is the base chief, so he naturally has the final say when it comes to funding.

But isn't it just a matter of money?

Since it can't be paid for with public funds, then we'll have to pay for it ourselves.

Anyway, he's planning to treat this Sabaody as his own territory, so there's nothing to regret.

He immediately contacted Vice Admiral Dewitt of the G-8 Branch, because he remembered that they always had a large stock of Den Den Mushi), and he wouldn't take them for free, so he asked him to take a box directly from the botanical garden as payment!

However, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst; he must ensure that no major trouble arises in the next few days.

Vidal closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

He wondered, since the Sabaody Archipelago itself is a Yarukiman Mangrove, could the power of the Woods-Woods Fruit be utilized?

I haven't Awakening yet, so I probably can't control the entire Yarukiman Mangrove.

But there shouldn't be any problem with using the basic skills.

Inside an elegant hot spring hotel in the Inn Street, a naked, tattooed man with a cigar in his mouth lay in the steaming hot spring with two beautiful women in yukatas in his arms.

"Tell me, what's gotten into the navy?"

A middle-aged man with his head bowed was kneeling on a stone platform outside the hot spring.

"Yes!"

"According to the intelligence we've gathered from the perimeter, the source is Brigadier General Vidal, newly appointed adjutant of the naval base. His full name is Forrest Vidal, and his nickname is 'Horn of Justice.'" "What gives a mere bridler general the right to be so arrogant?"

The man in the spring, rubbing the tenderness in his arms, looked up in confusion.

"This Brigadier General Vidal is no ordinary brigadier general; he just defeated that Bondi Wald a few days ago!" the middle-aged man in a black kimono said solemnly.

"Bondy. Oh, I remember now, there seems to be such a thing."

"Oh, it was him!"

The man in the spring sneered and increased the pressure on his hands, causing the two beauties to show signs of pain, yet they dared not utter a sound.

"Looks like a fool who thinks he's powerful but doesn't know his own limitations!"

"Kinoshita, should we contact the Admiral?"

"Oh--"

Kinoshita snorted coldly, pursed his lips, gestured for the woman to pour him some wine, and said, "Does a mere Commodore need to bother the BOSS?"

"Being able to defeat Byrnndi World is certainly impressive, but this time I'll show him that sometimes being strong alone isn't enough."

"Yes, please give your instructions!"

Thank you Fanxing Suiyun! 1500 coins for the donation! Thank you, thank you!

Being strong isn't enough? Hmm. Well, Vidal will show him that sometimes, being strong to a certain degree is truly unstoppable.
