Special Operations Unit

In his past and present lives, Victor believed the most important thing was to establish a persona for himself.

In front of his juniors, he was a selfless senior.

In front of his elders, he was a person with grand ambitions.

In front of the World Government, he was a person with a stain on his record.

In front of his subordinates, he was a person worth following.

A persona could provide 'reasonableness' to one's actions.

In short, a persona was very important!

Up to this point, Victor felt he had done a perfect job.

His juniors admired him.

The Navy in Branch 191 were willing to follow him.

He had also misled his elders.

He believed the World Government would be misled in the same way.

Only by doing so could he obtain greater power, as well as higher status and authority.

Since capturing Jonathan, Branch G5 had not gone out on any missions for nearly half a month.

During this half month, Victor had selflessly imparted cultivation methods daily, while also compiling his personal insights.

Within Branch G5, both officers and soldiers of the Navy were copying Victor's books.

Whether it was for promotion or cultivation.

Victor's insights and experiences could help them.

It was like a top student's notes; for those who yearned to advance further, they were supreme treasures.

Moreover, whenever Victor went to the training grounds, many Navy personnel would gather to watch.

They were all there to attend his lectures.

The cultivation methods and practices Victor imparted could help them improve their strength more efficiently.

"Colonel Victor!"

"Colonel Victor!"

"Colonel Victor."

As Victor walked towards the mess hall, officers and soldiers along the way would proactively greet him.

His selflessness and strength had earned him the respect of Branch G5.

Victor would respond with a smile.

"Senior Victor."

At this moment, Wright and Connor, leading a group of officers, jogged up to Victor.

"It's you," Victor stopped and looked at Wright, Connor, and the people beside them. "Who are these individuals?"

"Senior," Wright introduced the people beside him. "They are Major Eric, Major Kennard, Captain Wilder, and Lieutenant Golol from Branch G5. They've all come to thank you after reading your book recently."

Victor smiled slightly and said, "We're all Navy personnel, there's no need to be so polite."

Major Eric raised his hand in a salute. "Colonel Victor, your book has been of great help to me. If there's an opportunity, please allow me to follow you."

"We are the same," Kennard, Wilder, Golol, and the others said in unison.

Why did so many people follow Garp?

It wasn't just the title of Navy Hero.

More importantly, following Garp meant receiving his guidance.

However, with so many Navy personnel, not everyone had the chance to stay by Garp's side.

But Victor was different; he was truly selfless!

If they could stay by Victor's side, they could receive his guidance when encountering cultivation problems.

Of course, besides receiving Victor's guidance, there were also opportunities for promotion.

Most of the Navy personnel assigned to Branch G5 either had no background at Headquarters or had personality issues and poor social skills.

Otherwise, those with backgrounds or good social skills would definitely not be sent to Branch G5.

This was because the casualty rate here was too high.

Therefore, in the original timeline, when Smoker requested a transfer to Branch G5 from Aokiji, most people would find it incredible.

"Mm, there will be opportunities," Victor said earnestly.

Willing to follow him? Naturally, the more, the better.

What Victor was doing now was promoting himself, letting his personal charisma influence more people.

August, Grand Line Era 1494.

Victor was called to the office by Nunn.

Nunn handed Victor an appointment letter: "From now on, you are appointed Commander of the Special Operations Unit of Branch G5."

"Mhm." Victor looked at the appointment letter, guessing it was Sengoku's idea.

Because Nunn was very rigid and never bent the rules for anyone, he wasn't very popular at Headquarters.

As expected, Nunn continued: "Admiral Sengoku's exact words were that you can pick any personnel and equipment you want."

"Thank you, Uncle Nunn." Since they were in the office, Victor didn't stand on ceremony.

"Go ahead and get to work," Nunn nodded.

"Yes!" Victor gave a military salute and turned to leave.

Victor arrived at the training grounds.

Ever since he came to Branch G5, the training grounds had been packed every day.

At first, people came out of curiosity, then to learn the training methods, and now they were diligently training, striving to improve their strength.

The desire for men to become stronger was etched into their very bones.

Therefore, when these neglected Navy members of Branch G5 were given a way to become stronger, they naturally seized the opportunity.

Now, they were all training under the scorching sun, strengthening their bodies, their sweat already soaking the ground beneath them.

"Colonel Victor."

"Colonel Victor."

"Colonel Victor."

Seeing Victor approach, the Navy members in the training grounds stopped and saluted him.

Victor walked over to where Wright, Connor, and the others were.

They were currently training with Eric, Kennard, and the others.

Based on the training methods and insights Victor had shared, they were helping each other identify their weaknesses.

"Senior Victor!"

"Colonel Victor."

Eric, Kennard, and the others stood at attention and saluted.

"Look at this." Victor handed the appointment letter to Eric.

After reading the contents, Eric's expression became excited.

Although it was just a Special Operations Unit directly under Branch G5, Victor was the commander.

Furthermore, the commander could personally select the officers needed.

Afterward, Eric passed the appointment letter to Kennard and the others.

Kennard and the others were equally excited after reading it!

Victor calmly asked Eric and Kennard, "Are you willing to join the Special Operations Unit?"

"Of course, we are!"

Eric, Kennard, and the others said in unison.

Victor said casually, "First, do me a favor and help me recruit enough people for two companies."

"Yes!" Eric, Kennard, and the others saluted.

The Special Operations Unit had a structure of two companies, with each company having a full strength of 500 men.

Victor directly chose Eric and Kennard to serve as company commanders.

Wright, Connor, and the others naturally joined the Special Operations Unit as well.

Upon hearing that Victor had become the Commander of the Special Operations Unit and that they were recruiting members, the number of applicants was exceptionally high.

In less than half a day, the Special Operations Unit was fully staffed.

The day after the Special Operations Unit was established, Victor received a new mission.

New Mission: Track the Roger Pirates!
