The Bull-Head Warship!

"Fleet Admiral."

As soon as Vidal pushed open the door, the first thing he saw was Sou sitting behind the desk directly opposite him. He then noticed Sengoku sitting on the sofa and quickly greeted him, "Teacher!"

"Yes, you did a great job this time, greatly boosting the prestige of our navy!" Sengoku said with satisfaction, then picked up a snack bag from the table, took out a senbei (rice cracker) and handed it over, "Here, have one."

"Uh, thank you, teacher." What else could Vidal do but take the food and eat it in two bites? Kong didn't urge him, and only spoke after he finished eating, "Next, I'll tell you about the arrangements."

Vidal stood straight in the middle of the field without saying a word, looking like he was listening attentively.

"First of all, you may be disappointed, your rank won't be promoted, I think you can understand that," Kong said.

Vidal nodded. The logic was too simple. He had just defeated Bondi Byrnndi World a year ago and been promoted to Commodore. A year later, he was promoted to Rear Admiral. It was too fast. Moreover, Gecko Moria was just a pirate with 130 million bounty on the surface. He was far less significant than Byrnndi World.

Although the big shots all knew that Moria's demonstrated strength was worth more than his price tag.

"However, there has been a slight change in your position, which I believe you will like."

Upon hearing this, Vidal pondered. He was currently the adjutant stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago. If he were to be promoted in this area, the most likely scenario would be being sent to one of the Four Blues as the commander of a local base.

This might be a great thing for most people, but for him it felt more like a demotion.

Sengoku and Souichi burst into laughter upon seeing the change in the boy's expression. Sengoku, acting as his teacher, then said, "Don't worry, we're not sending you to the Four Blues!"

Just kidding. Throwing someone like Vidal into the Four Blues would be a complete waste of his talents. Even if he wanted to go, the navy and the government would absolutely not agree.

"What's that?" Vidal felt relieved after receiving the assurance, but his curiosity only grew. He asked, "You're not going to make me the commander of the G-sector branch, are you?"

If that's the case, then he must try to win over the G-8 Branch!

"Dream on, how old are you?" Sengoku shook his head and laughed, dismissing the guess.

The eight G divisions on the Grand Line must be headed by Vice Admirals. Even though Vidal's strength has reached the level of Vice Admiral, some rules are hard to change.

"Alright, I'll just tell you directly. Starting from January 1st next year, you will be promoted to the position of base commander of the Marine Base stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago!" Fleet Admiral Kong's smile faded, and he solemnly issued the appointment, while taking a document from his drawer and pushing it over.

"This is your appointment letter as base commander, keep it safe!"

"Yes!!"

Vidal was very excited at this moment, and made no attempt to hide his emotions, although he wasn't actually that excited, at most he was just a little thrilled.

"Heh, this kid isn't just a money-grubber, he seems to be a power-hungry official too. No wonder the Five Elders like him so much." Sora thought to himself as he looked at the exceptionally talented young naval officer in front of him.

"And what about Vice Admiral Antoine?" Vidal asked again, picking up the letter of appointment.

Fleet Admiral Kong casually replied that he was waiting at headquarters. In fact, most of the Vice Admiral were stationed in Marineford, and they would go to sea when they received a mission and return after completing it.

Of course, Vice Admiral like him would be far less powerful than those serving as base commanders or generals in the field. So Antoine suffered because of Vidal this time, but he felt no remorse. That's how the workplace is; he earned his promotion through his own abilities, so what?

"Huh, is that all?" Vidal noticed that Kong was silent and was puzzled.

"That's all? What else do you want?" Sora was also puzzled, and Sengoku, who was sitting on the sofa eating senbei, also looked confused.

You've been promoted to base commander at just over twenty years old, what more could you ask for? Especially considering it's a place with such immense influence like the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Um... isn't there a bonus? No other material reward?"

"For example, Famous Swords, Devil Fruits, and my military merits should have increased quite a bit, right?"

Hearing Vidal's series of questions, Sora and Sengoku exchanged bewildered glances.

The former said in surprise, "You're short of money? And what do you need Famous Sword and Devil Fruit?"

This brat not only receives a billion Beli from Alabasta every year, but those local thugs in Sabaody Archipelago also pay him a few billion Beli every year!

How much would the prize money be for defeating Moonlight Moria?

At most, they'd give him the 130 million bounty, but does that even matter to Vidal?

Vidal said, "Counts!"

"I may not lack anything, but I can't be shortchanged from what I'm entitled to," Vidal said to the Fleet Admiral with a straight face. "As for the Famous Swords, can't I keep them as collectibles, or give them to my family or subordinates later? The same goes for Devil Fruits; just looking at them is pleasing to the eye."

"."

Sora and Sengoku fell silent for a moment. It sounded reasonable, but this was the first time they had ever encountered someone who dared to ask them for a reward like this.

"Alright." Kong wasn't angry, after all, Vidal had the right to say that from any perspective.

"Consider Moria's bounty a bonus. As for the Famous Sword, let your father, Cornell, collect it before he gets off work; he's a swordsman Devil Fruit now; I'll notify the management department."

"Thank you, Fleet Admiral!" Vidal showed great joy.

"Alright, you can go now." Fleet Admiral Kong waved his hand, but as soon as he lowered his head, he suddenly raised it again. "Oh, right! There's something else I need to tell you. The Three-Three System Tactics and the Konoha Style Body Technique that you pioneered have been officially approved as part of the headquarters' regular training programs. The instructor is Assistant Colonel Ogden; you should know him, right?"

Ogden, it took Vidal a few seconds to remember that name. Wasn't he the former vice-captain of the Konoha Squad, the Captain who became the captain after he and Vincent left?

Has Ogden already Assistant Colonel?

"Well, given his merits in teaching the Three-Three System and Konoha Style at the G-8 Branch, and considering the need for him to serve as an instructor at headquarters, it has been decided to promote him to Assistant Colonel, placing him under the Marine Headquarters School. He'll essentially be a civilian officer."

At this point, Sengoku spoke up, because he was actually in charge of these matters.

As far as he knew, the four G-system branches in the first half of the Grand Line had already started practicing, so he felt it was time to popularize it within headquarters.

With Sengoku's explanation, Vidal understood. It turned out that Ogden had become Teacher Zephyr's subordinate, which was essentially a teaching job, or more accurately, an office job.

"I never expected that after a few years, this guy would become a professor and expert in the Three-Three System Tactics and Konoha Style Body Techniques," Vidal thought to himself.

"Fleet Admiral, may I have another request?"

Sengoku frowned. He felt that Vidal was getting carried away and losing his sense of propriety today. Sora felt the same way, but on the surface, he still agreed very naturally.

"Tell me about it."

"Could I modify my flagship a bit, like putting an Oxhead on the bow or something?" Vidal asked with an embarrassed smile.

He's envious of the Dog-Head Warship that Garp will have in the future.

"That's it?" Kong was stunned. What kind of request was this? It was completely absurd. This was truly the first time someone had ever wanted to modify a warship.

Upon hearing this, Sengoku smiled broadly, and his previous worries vanished instantly.

"Yeah, look at me now, I'm known as 'Ryokugyu' by the world, so this kind of pomp and circumstance is quite something, hehehe."
