Promoted to Rear Admiral

New World, Glosha Island.

This is the main base of the Flying Pirates.

Currently, the Flying Pirates are the largest power in the New World.

Unless the Golden Lion gives the order for a full mobilization.

Otherwise, at least twenty pirate ships would be in the harbor of Glosha Island every day.

In the Golden Lion's mind, if he could join forces with Roger and make Roger his right-hand man, he could conquer the world and become the king of the world!

At this moment, the Golden Lion had just woken up not long ago and was reading the newspaper.

The front-page headline on the newspaper caught the Golden Lion's attention.

Navy Captain Victor had captured Count Red alive.

"What a ridiculous joke."

The Golden Lion snorted. He had met Count Red once before.

Rocks had invited Count Red at that time.

But Count Red had refused.

Count Red's strength was not weak, but the Golden Lion was confident that he could defeat Count Red in a one-on-one fight.

It would just take a considerable amount of time and a certain price.

However, such a monster was actually captured by a twenty-year-old Navy Captain.

This was simply impossible!

"Boss, this must be a lie fabricated by the Navy."

One of the captains under the Golden Lion said.

"This isn't the first time the Navy has done something like this, is it? Isn't the hero's name of Garp derived from this?"

The Golden Lion did not believe the story published in the newspaper.

"The Navy wants to create another hero."

"The Navy didn't mention how many casualties there were."

"Perhaps Kong and Sengoku were helping too."

The Pirate Executives in the hall echoed the Golden Lion's sentiments, each expressing similar opinions.

Birds of a feather flock together.

The Pirates who were willing to follow the Golden Lion had some common personality traits.

Moreover, their loyalty to the Golden Lion was extremely high, and they believed in the Golden Lion's judgment.

"Don't pay attention to him, our target is Roger."

The Golden Lion tossed the newspaper aside and said dismissively.

Branch G5 Headquarters Commander's Office.

Knock, knock, knock.

Victor knocked continuously on the office door.

"Come in."

Hearing Nunn's voice, Victor walked in.

Nunn gestured for Victor to sit down.

"Uncle Nunn, I heard you had something to discuss with me?" Victor asked as he sat down.

Nunn handed Victor the fax from Headquarters, smiling as he said, "Congratulations, Rear Admiral Victor."

Although Nunn was usually a very serious person, he was genuinely happy about Victor capturing Count Red and being promoted smoothly.

Nunn believed that the Andersons would also be proud of Victor.

Victor took the fax and a faint smile appeared on his face after reading it.

Rear Admiral.

This was within his expectations.

At the same time, Victor was also appointed as the commander of the Headquarters' direct Special Operations Unit.

It was renamed from the Special Operations Unit of Branch G5 to the Headquarters' direct Special Operations Unit.

This was not just a name change; their authority also expanded.

Although Nunn was a Vice Admiral, after the name change, Nunn could no longer command Victor.

Now Victor was under the command of Headquarters, or more directly, under the Admirals and Fleet Admiral.

Nunn said to Victor, "Go and celebrate for a day."

"Yes!" Victor saluted and turned to leave.

Victor returned to the Special Operations Unit's camp.

At this moment, the Navy personnel in the camp stopped their work and fell silent.

"I am about to announce three things."

Victor waved the fax in his hand and said to everyone.

Eric, Kennard, and the others all looked at Victor.

Victor said, "The first thing is that I have been promoted to Rear Admiral of Headquarters, and the Special Operations Unit will now be directly under Headquarters."

After hearing this, Eric, Kennard, and the others all showed excited expressions on their faces.

As the saying goes, when one man achieves success, his friends and family benefit.

Because Victor was promoted to Rear Admiral, it meant that the Navy personnel who had followed Victor from the beginning had a chance to be promoted.

"The second thing." Victor raised his hand and extended two fingers. "Everyone will be promoted by one rank."

Eric and the others were stunned at first, then shouted loudly.

"Long live Rear Admiral Victor!"

"Long live Rear Admiral Victor!"

"Long live Rear Admiral Victor!"

The cheers and shouts of less than a thousand people echoed throughout Branch G5.

"What is the Special Operations Unit doing?"

"I don't know."

"Let's go take a look."

Some curious Navy personnel approached the vicinity of the Special Operations Unit's camp.

At this moment, Victor clenched his fist.

The moment Victor clenched his fist, the camp fell silent.

Victor continued, "The third thing."

"We will celebrate tonight, and all expenses will be covered by me!"

Victor said calmly.

"Long live Rear Admiral Victor!"

"Long live Rear Admiral Victor!"

"Long live Rear Admiral Victor!"

The Navy personnel cheered again.

"Wright, Connor." At this moment, Victor called out Wright and Connor's names.

Wright and Connor came to Victor's side.

Victor patted their shoulders and said, "Starting today, you will be promoted to Captain and temporarily serve as staff officers for the Special Operations Unit."

Wright and Connor were stunned.

They were directly appointed as Captains!

"Now I need you to do me a favor." Victor said to Wright and Connor.

As Wright and Connor looked on expectantly, Victor said, "Help me prepare the promotion list, not a single person should be left out."

"Yes!" Wright and Connor nodded simultaneously.

Eric was promoted to Vice Captain, and Kennard was promoted to Vice Captain.

Although the scale of the Special Operations Unit did not expand, everyone was promoted by one rank.

Promotion meant a raise.

Who would refuse better treatment?

Especially Wright and Connor, who were appointed Captains by Victor.

Wright and Connor had only been interns for a few months this year before being directly promoted to Captain.

Why were others only promoted by one level?

Wasn't the reason that they called him senior and were closer to Victor?

Eric, Kennard, and the others also started to stir.

They needed to maintain a closer relationship with Victor.

Or rather, they needed to show Victor their loyalty.

Only then could they be promoted faster.

The news of Victor's promotion to Rear Admiral quickly spread throughout Branch G5.

Although Sakazuki, Borsalino, and others were also promoted.

However, they only moved up one rank.

From Lieutenant Commander to Vice Captain.

In terms of promotion speed, they lagged behind Victor.

Compared to other military academy students who interned at the same time, like Wright and Connor, some were still Sergeants or Warrant Officers.

Look at Wright and Connor, they were directly promoted to Captain by Victor!

Moreover, Victor was already a Rear Admiral.

Promoted to Navy Rear Admiral at 20, and he even captured Count Red, who even Admirals found difficult to deal with.

Victor's future was incredibly bright!

Therefore, more and more officers, as well as newly interning military academy students, became restless and began to gravitate towards Victor.

Following a strong individual like Victor was the only way to have a future!
