A One-Man Buster Call! (Thanks to Scripture-Hoarding Patriarch for the Alliance Leader

Before leaving, Vidal had a sudden thought: should he teach these manatees something before he went? It would make it a little more difficult for anyone who wanted to subdue them.

He thought the idea was very interesting!

Without a doubt, he chose to stay overnight by the river, since he could always find a three-bedroom apartment wherever he went.

However, they discovered that things weren't that simple. First of all, they definitely couldn't teach Konoha Style Kicking Techniques because the sea cows didn't have legs or feet. Teaching them ordinary fist techniques wouldn't be very interesting either, and sword techniques were even less of an option, as the sea cows weren't interested at all.

So after some thought, he remembered the 'Black Arm Fist Technique' that Enel had used a few days ago.

Of course, Vidal didn't know if that was the correct name.

According to Enel's explanation and demonstration, it would be very difficult for an average person to complete a full set of this boxing style, but once completed, it would result in a considerable improvement in physical fitness, which should be very suitable for these Kung Fu Dugong.

Well, in the future, the Mimic Baboons will practice Mihawk's swordsmanship, while these Kung Fu Dugong will practice Zephyr's boxing. He's thinking of having the two sides fight it out; it should be very interesting!

Not only that, Vidal also took the time to create several Wood Clones to demonstrate the Three-Three System Tactics to the manatees five times.

As for how much they can ultimately learn, that depends on themselves!

The next day at noon, as Vidal left with his manatee, he was very curious about how future generations would tame these enhanced Kung Fu Dugong. Hehe.

To speed things up, he had the manatee sit on his shoulders and used Geppo to fly at high speed through the air towards Erumalu.

The manatee, barely a meter tall, sat incredibly steadily on his broad shoulders. However, the little guy seemed to be terrified because it was its first time flying, its face pale with fear, and it clung tightly to Vidal's arm that was supporting it.

"I wonder if manatees can learn Geppo?" Vidal pondered as he flew.

"Shigan probably won't work, since it doesn't have fingers. Well, if it doesn't have fingers, then its little fist can serve as a relatively thick finger, right?"

Erumalu, hailed as a green town by the people of Alabasta, remains unchanged despite his departure and return. The trees are still lush and green, shielding people from the scorching sun, and the streets are still bustling with people of all backgrounds. The people here live happily.

It must be said that Alabasta is probably the kingdom with the highest national happiness level in this world. It has wise monarchs throughout the ages and hundreds of thousands of loyal Royal Army who protect the country!

Upon returning to the estate, Vidal first met with the children. Seeing that Camille were curious about the manatee, he had it play with them. Then he immediately summoned Woonan to the port.

"Master, what is this?"

Woonan saw Vidal stop in front of the Oxhead Battleship and asked in confusion.

"Didn't I say before that I would prepare a good ship for you? I'm leaving soon, so I'm going to give you the ship before I go." Vidal led Woonan a few more steps to the edge of the waves next to the warship.

"This"

Looking at the empty sea, Woonan wanted to ask, "Where's the ship?"

However, he wasn't stupid. He immediately thought of Vidal's Devil Fruit ability, but he was still somewhat skeptical.

"Are you going to build me a huge ship right here and now?"

This made Vidal raise an eyebrow, and he said meaningfully, "Don't easily reveal the surprise your boss is preparing for you. That's not good, not good at all."

"Uh, sorry, just pretend I didn't say anything, I don't know anything either!" Woonan smiled awkwardly.

"And don't even suggest that your boss act like a fool." With that, Vidal ignored him, took two steps forward, and clapped his hands heavily.

[Smack!]

He shouted, "Come out, Morifune—"

[Thump, thump, thump]

Logs of varying thicknesses and lengths emerged from beneath the sea, numbering in the thousands. They were rapidly and systematically assembled in reality, following the ship's structure that Vidal had envisioned in his mind.

He obtained the structural diagrams of the ocean-going vessel from several craftsmen he consulted in Forest City a few days ago.

The construction of Forest City required thousands of craftsmen, some of whom were skilled in shipbuilding. After all, in this world, being a craftsman isn't enough if you only know how to build houses; the most important thing is to know how to build ships.

Even if their skills can't compare to those of the masters in Water 7, they are still professional craftsmen who serve Alabasta. They can draw the design of a ship with their eyes closed!

Vidal is building for Woonan now is a medium-sized ship with a displacement similar to that of the Four Blues Division-class warships. After all, if you build it too big, you won't have enough manpower to operate it, and a large ship means a slow speed, which is not a good thing.

However, this was also Vidal's first time handling a sea vessel by hand. Not being very skilled, he could only proceed slowly, and it took him more than two hours to finally get the ship safely moored next to the Oxhead Battleship.

"Alright, let's go, let's go up and take a look!" But just as Vidal had taken a satisfied look at the ship and turned to call out to Woonan, he found that the area around him was already filled with layers upon layers of people.

Some of them were his subordinates, Rogers, Rabani, Isoka and other naval officers of various ranks, and others were some old and young men dressed in local clothing. Who knows how long they watched?

"Commodore, is this... is this ship really usable?" a burly Senior Sergeant asked curiously.

"Whether it works or not, we'll find out by trying!" Vidal smiled confidently, then gestured with his right hand toward the forest boat, from which a long plank extended and rested in front of him.

"Walk!"

He took the lead and stepped onto the plank, followed excitedly by Woonan, then by Major Rogers, Rabani, and others who were equally curious. The Senior Sergeant who had just asked the question also walked onto the deck with a group of people.

As for the local residents, although they also wanted to go aboard, they gave up the idea of causing trouble when they saw the strong marines around them. They figured they would just have to see if the ship could move later.

"Hey, no sails!" Rabani suddenly said, pointing upwards as he walked onto the deck. Vidal and the others looked in the direction he was pointing.

Sure enough, this boat had no sails.

Vidal was exasperated. Yes, he was certainly skilled at shipbuilding, but to make a ship move, it needed sails, and he couldn't make sails.

It seems we need to pay attention to this issue in the future.

Just as he fell silent, Isoka, being a girl, was very understanding and quickly called over a sailor from below the ship to bring over a sail.

Several sets of these are stored on the West Army, since sails are easily damaged in battle or accidents, so this is considered a consumable item.

While his men were busy attaching sails to the ship, Vidal was thinking about something.

"If I could get my hands on the blueprints for warships, could I just sculpt a few warships at will, and then equip them with various plant-based bean-shaped projectiles and chili bombs?"

The moment the last word surfaced in his mind, the corners of his mouth gradually turned up.

"A One-Man Buster Call!"

The groundwork for Alabasta is finally complete!!

Finally, a huge, huge, huge thank you to the 100,000 patrons of the Zangjing Laozu!!
