The Elimination Operation!

"Admiral Candidate, how many years until he becomes a full Admiral?"

Looking at the newspaper, Judge sat on his throne and sighed. He had basically given up on the idea of breaking free from Vidal's control.

The reason he said "basically" is because he felt that neither the Roger Pirates nor the Flying Pirates would give up easily, so who knew when Vidal might encounter an accident?

Regardless of the circumstances, Judge had no choice but to submit until this possibility became a reality. Even though the clone army was mostly ready, he understood that the number of troops was meaningless when facing Admiral- level force, not to mention that in this world, the Navy was the strongest in terms of sheer numbers.

It remains unclear what Vice Admiral Vidal wants the Vinsmoke Family to do.

This matter weighed heavily on Judge's mind; he couldn't believe it was really for such a small amount of money.

"Mama~, Roger must be furious right now, hahaha!"

In the castle on Totto Land Whole Cake Island in the New World, Charlotte Linlin stared wide-eyed at Vidal's photo in the newspaper, grinning from ear to ear.

A few days ago, the Roger Pirates stormed into her Totto Land and barbarically forcibly copied the contents of the Road Poneglyphs, which has kept her fury burning ever since.

Now that Vidal had personally killed two of the already few members of Roger Pirates, her mood improved considerably, and she also developed a strong interest in Vidal, this newly Admiral Candidate.

"If I could catch him and take a look, maybe I could have another husband, and the child I'd have would probably be very strong, right, mama~"

However, Charlotte Linlin thought it best to wait and see, since Vidal had completely offended two of the world's top pirate crews at the same time, and the ensuing retaliation would be incredibly fierce.

But thinking about it carefully, as long as Vidal doesn't actively enter the New World, it seems like Roger and Shiki can't really do anything about him, right?

The location of the Sabaody Archipelago is too perfect. Not only is Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, right next door, but Holy Land Mary Geoise, the World Government's holy site, is also towering above it. If Vidal were attacked, it would be almost equivalent to openly fighting against the entire World Government and Marine Headquarters!

Charlotte Linlin's mood improved as she thought about Shiki and Roger having to swallow their anger this time, and her appetite was whetted. She grabbed a piece of the cream chocolate grape cake on the table and took a big bite.

"Mama~, Roger, what are you going to do?"

"Hateful!!"

In the New World, on some nameless island, a roar was followed by an explosive boom.

"Calm down, Roger!" Rayleigh warned the captain, who had smashed the newspaper and the ground to pieces with a single punch.

You should know very well what the most important goal is.

Hearing this, Roger, panting heavily, slowly composed himself, gripped the hilt of his knife tightly, and replied in a deep voice, "I know, I know what I should do. Don't worry, I won't act impulsively."

But as soon as he finished speaking, his eyes swept over the gloomy-faced crew members around him, and he fiercely vowed, "But I swear, once we find the legendary Laugh Tale and bring our voyage to a close, I, Roger, will offer this bastard's head as a blood sacrifice to Mulian and Langram, even if he becomes Marine Admiral by then!"

After hearing this, Rayleigh remained silent, because he felt that Roger's plan was most likely unsuccessful.

He had fought Vidal before and knew very well that the other was not a simple-minded brute, but rather a rather cunning type.

If this kid is transferred to Marineford to oversee headquarters, or if he's with Garp or Sengoku, the chances of successfully killing him are extremely low.

However, on the other hand, if Roger were to actually do that one day, Rayleigh would definitely fight back to the end, at least helping to block one of his opponents.

[Poluporu, Polluporu]

Just as the outside world was in an uproar over the latest issue of the World Economy News Paper, Vidal received a phone call from headquarters in his office on the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Teacher?"

As soon as he saw that the Den Den Mushi had transformed into an afro and was wearing round-framed glasses, he immediately knew who was calling.

"Yes, it's me. In light of the Flying Pirates' widely acknowledged large-scale attack on the G-3 Branch, after discussion, we've decided to teach them a lesson. Our main objective is to eliminate all Flying Pirates' assets outside the New World, with the Sabaody Archipelago being a key target!"

Sengoku's expression was very serious, and his tone was quite heavy.

Vidal laughed after hearing this. He knew this matter wouldn't end easily. The Flying Pirates would retaliate, and the Navy wouldn't let it go either. After all, the Navy was the military overlord of this sea.

Moreover, it must also be closely related to Garp's official return to action. With Garp now stationed at the front-line base in the New World, the threat posed by Golden Lion Shiki has been greatly reduced. In addition, Sakazuki is also there, so dealing with the remaining Grand Governor shouldn't be a big problem.

In addition, Vidal knew that Charlotte Linlin was busy giving birth in Totto Land, Kaido, who had just escaped from Punk Hazard a few years ago, and his Beasts Pirates had only recently taken shape and were not a threat. Roger Pirates were still searching for other Road Poneglyphs, and the Whitebeard Pirates had been out of contact since entering Wano Country.

This directly resulted in the Navy only needing to deal with Flying Pirates at this point, even if the opponent was the strongest pirate force at present, it was not a big deal for the Navy.

"I see!"

Just when Vidal thought he was done for, Sengoku continued, "Don't enter the New World easily for the time being. You've just been promoted to Admiral Candidate and need to settle down for a few years."

"Uh, I understand, I understand."

Vidal chuckled wryly at these words, which sounded as if he was being criticized for being too troublesome. However, he knew that Sengoku was doing this for his safety.

"Okay, that's it. Make sure the mission is done cleanly." After saying that, Sengoku didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.

After the Den Den Mushi closed its eyes, Vidal placed the receiver on the phone and then called Isoka in from outside, asking, "Who are the officers and soldiers currently stationed at the base?"

"Brigadier General Bivis had taken a month's leave, so the only general officer is Brigadier General Eller. On the field officer side, Major Rogers is staying at the base today to oversee training."

"Um."

Vidal nodded and immediately gave the orders.

"Order Brigadier General Eller to take four warships and blockade the ports leading out to sea in District 70!"

"Order Major Rogers to begin assembling the team. In twenty minutes, seize all merchant ships, cargo ships, and warehouses belonging to the Flying Pirates and arrest all related personnel!"

"Order all district captains to lead teams to seal off the bridges connecting Area 70 to other districts, and temporarily prohibit any personnel from entering or leaving!"

"Order Major Comil and Major Vincent to lead their teams to surround the Flying Pirates' headquarters and shops in Area 70. If they resist or attempt to break in, they are authorized to kill or capture them on the spot!"

"Notify naval intelligence to monitor all targets in real time, and notify me immediately of any important developments!"

Upon hearing such a long list of orders, Lieutenant Isoka's pupils dilated, realizing that a major operation was about to take place. He quickly jotted them down in his notebook and then hurried out to issue the orders.

Meanwhile, Vidal remained seated comfortably in his recliner, showing no intention of making any move.

He is the base commander, a lieutenant general, and a candidate for general. Unless someone emerges who even Brigadier General Eller and his men cannot handle, he will not easily take action.

Besides, the entire Sabaody Archipelago is now his home turf; sometimes, even if he takes action, he doesn't necessarily need anyone to show up.

Let me explain why I've been on hiatus this time. Before, while I was in Korea, I tried submitting my resume to a few companies that interested me, and then, inexplicably, I received an offer from one. I was actually quite conflicted at the time, but when my family found out, they strongly urged me to take the job, hoping I could have a stable job and income. Ultimately, I chose to take the job, only to find that working is not as simple as I imagined. From day one, I was incredibly busy, always exhausted. However, when my first month's salary came out, well... 2.8 million Korean won, far more than the few thousand I earned writing novels.

I've hit a roadblock with writing the novel. I simply don't have the energy or stamina. But I'm too embarrassed to tell the group that I'm going to stop updating again, or even that I might never write a novel again. I was really distressed at the time, and in the end, I just bury my head in the sand like an ostrich, because I'm too afraid to face it.

Over the past few months, I've gotten used to my work and become quite adept at it, so I had some energy left. Then, while looking at this book, "Ryokugyu Fleet Admiral," I wondered if I could finish it as a side hobby. So, I tried writing two chapters. Since I still had the outline, I felt it was a shame that I hadn't written out many of the interesting plot points that friends in the group had mentioned before.

Well, that's about it. Here, I most want to say sorry to my friends in the reader group. I'm so sorry!

By the way, thank you so much for the 1000 Qidian coins reward from "Humble So Fixed". But please don't reward me anymore. I'm already happy that you're willing to continue reading this book.
