In the blink of an eye.
Wilton had been back at the G-8 Branch for ten days.
Dalmatian had left on the second day after Wilton returned to the G-8 Branch. He had left quickly and in a hurry.
He had been transferred to another branch in the New World.
In the New World.
Only vice admirals were qualified to command a branch or fortress, and with the rise of the Four Emperors, the branches the Marines had deployed in the New World had come under frequent attack in recent years.
In the end, their numbers had steadily dwindled. It could be said that the situation was very unfavorable for the Marines.
Wilton was actually a special case. Perhaps because his record was somewhat impressive, Marine Headquarters believed he had the ability to hold a New World branch.
Even so, he had chosen the G-8 Branch because he was more familiar with it, rather than being transferred directly to some unfamiliar branch.
Marine Headquarters had taken that into consideration.
Other officers who had just become vice admirals would generally first spend time polishing their credentials at a fortress in the first half of the Grand Line. Only after passing an assessment of their strength would they be assigned to guard a branch in the New World.
It could be said that even Marine Headquarters vice admirals varied in strength.
Veteran vice admirals like Onigumo, Dalmatian, Momonga, and Momonga possessed combat power and experience far beyond that of ordinary vice admirals. That was why they were the main force stationed at New World branches.
Vice admirals with weaker combat power mostly lingered in the first half of the Grand Line. Only after further improving their strength could they possibly be sent to the New World.
Whoooosh~
