Sengoku and Zephyr!
"Good, very strong."
"My God, that giant was knocked down with one punch?!"
Who is this navy officer?
At some point, a giant virtual screen appeared in several major districts of the Sabaody Archipelago, displaying the scene after Vidal appeared in Grove 53.
Initially, only a few curious people from the neighborhood gathered around, but as the giant Keji appeared, more and more people came, since even the people of Sabaody rarely had the opportunity to see a 'Giant Tribe'.
The moment Keji was blasted away by Vidal's massive green fist, the atmosphere around the crowds on each screen instantly reached a fever pitch.
Their attention had shifted from the pirates causing trouble to Vidal's presence!
This was precisely one of Vidal's reasons for having this live stream started.
Since the island was filled with Image Den Den Mushi at this time, this operation was very easy. Vidal had previously discovered that he was not well-known in the Sabaody Archipelago, and his 'popularity' was basically concentrated among the local bigwigs.
That won't do!
Vidal probably understands the power of fame better than anyone else in the world.
Although it may not have a direct effect, once its fame reaches a certain level, it can have immeasurable value if used properly!
Moreover, fame is like a jar of wine; the longer it ages, the richer its aroma becomes.
If Vidal, who understood this principle, didn't take this opportunity to "promote" himself, he really wouldn't be considered wise.
Marineford.
"That kid's causing trouble again."
Sengoku looked helplessly at the image projected by the Image Den Den Mushi on the table.
He had already received news of what happened on the Sabaody Archipelago, but it was nothing special to talk about, since besides Vidal, there was also Antoine there.
But who knew that Vidal would actually start a live broadcast that was broadcast to the entire world?
This is something to be concerned about. If his disciple wins, all will be well, but if he loses, not only will his reputation gained from defeating Bundy Byrnndi World be ruined, but he might even be accused of tarnishing the reputation of the Marine Headquarters.
Therefore, the Sengoku viewed this as a huge gamble!
"But since you're so confident, I'll give you another push."
Sengoku, as Sengoku, clearly understood Vidal's intention in starting this live broadcast: he was preparing for his future promotion to Fleet Admiral.
But Sengoku didn't care at all. First, he was broad-minded enough not to be deterred by his disciple's ambition. Second, no matter what, Vidal could not possibly shake his chances of becoming Fleet Admiral.
Vidal's age, experience, and ability, it was only possible for him to be promoted to Fleet Admiral after Vidal.
If that's the case, isn't it a wonderful story that the disciple of Fleet Admiral became Fleet Admiral?
[Poluporu, Polluporu]
"Hello?"
"It's me, Zephyr."
"Sengoku?" Zephyr, sitting in the naval academy principal's office, looked at the Den Den Mushi on the table with a puzzled expression.
"You're buried under mountains of documents every day, so you must have something to call me about!"
"Yes, it's about Vidal. Turn on your Image Den Den Mushi, and I'll send you a live stream."
What's up with Vidal this time?
As Zephyr pondered this, he casually turned on the Image Den Den Mushi on his desk, and the next moment the Den Den Mushi projected a clear virtual image into the air.
"Is this Sabaody? Huh, Vidal?" Zephyr raised an eyebrow in surprise upon seeing the image in the video.
He was always busy teaching at school and didn't really pay attention to these insignificant external matters.
Meanwhile, Sengoku briefly explained the significance of Vidal's live broadcast, and then suggested, "Could you organize something so that all the students can watch it?"
"This"
Zephyr paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought.
He already knew that Vidal was preparing for his future promotion to Fleet Admiral; the kid had publicly declared his Fleet Admiral ambitions back in the Special Training Camp.
To be honest, he felt that doing so was pointless. Fleet Admiral wasn't something you could just become because of your fame; the most important things were ability and the recognition and support of the higher-ups.
That's what I thought, but since the Warring Sengoku had personally called, I should still help them if I could.
Moreover, Vidal graduated from his Special Training Camp and was considered his student. In addition, he had also nominally taken Vidal's two sons as disciples. So Zephyr agreed without much consideration, just to let the school's kids get a sneak peek at a decent-quality real-world combat scenario.
[Slap]
After hanging up the phone, Sengoku looked up at Vidal on the screen, who was blocking the 'Giant Fist' of Keji with one hand, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"This is all the help I can give you as your teacher. The rest is up to you."
This is the role that Sengoku could play as Vidal's teacher!
Although he couldn't lead his disciples on adventures to earn military merit like Garp, nor could he teach Vidal combat like Zephyr, he was simply too busy.
But what Sengoku could do, Garp and Zephyr couldn't.
He was able to quickly grasp the meaning behind Vidal's various actions, fill in any gaps, or provide support in case of unexpected events, becoming the most trustworthy backer.
Just like now, Vidal started this live stream with the sole purpose of making a name for himself in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Sengoku, however, was thinking of broadcasting the live stream from the naval academy.
He believed that most of the students at the school were future naval officers, and that they were the future that Vidal should value!
The Marine Headquarters School, also Marineford Navy Academy.
Students in various classes, who were waiting in the Teaching Building for their next theory class, suddenly noticed their teacher walking in with an Image Den Den Mushi).
"Orders have come down from above to change this lesson to a practical observation session."
"The main purpose is to watch this battle, which is currently taking place in Grove 53 of the Sabaody Archipelago."
"The two combatants are Commodore Forrest Vidar, the current vice-commander of the naval base stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago, known as the 'Horn of Justice'; Corgi, the captain of the Giant Fist Pirates, with a bounty of 83 million Berries and a Paramecia-type Megata-Mega Fruit user; and Ifrit, the 'Twin Hammers' of the Giant race, with a bounty of 51 million Berries!"
The teacher, also draped in a school-level Justice Coat, spoke while manipulating Den Den Mushi to project an image.
Upon hearing the teacher's words, the students in the class all showed expressions of surprise and delight—they didn't have to attend class!
Gion Tokikake subconsciously glanced at Bullet, who was sitting in the last row.
Bullet was also surprised, but he maintained his aloof demeanor, staring expressionlessly at Vidal appearing on the screen.
As all the trainees gasped in amazement at the sight of Vidal knocking down "Giant Fist" Keji with a single punch, he suddenly found himself feeling a little happy, a little proud.
What kind of mood is this?!
Bullet's lips twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, "I want to fight two giants sometime in the future!"
No, hit three!
Four, I guess. Oh well, never mind. I'll just beat up Giant Tribe I see from now on. By the way, there seem to be quite a few Giant Tribe in the navy.
Zephyr was acting strangely, even though Sengoku had said the live stream would be broadcast to Marine Headquarters.
Even the elementary school students at the Navy Elementary School were watching.
Enel and Rosinante were initially shocked, then became excited, especially the former, who excitedly shouted to the surrounding classmates that it was his father!
