Benedict was willing to help, partly due to Roger.
Secondly, Benedict wanted to see if Ace's life would change if Portgas was still alive.
Furthermore, Ace was within his jurisdiction, and he could intervene in Ace's development as he grew older.
"Robin, from now on, he is your younger brother. Take good care of him, understand?" Benedict said with a smile, seeing Robin's curious gaze at Ace.
He brought the mother and son, Portgas D. Rouge, to the Island of Knowledge and arranged a house for them right next to Robin's family.
Rouge had a gentle yet cheerful personality.
After a brief interaction, Olvia and Rouge became like sisters.
Robin, naturally, was also full of anticipation for her younger brother, Ace.
Or rather, this fulfilled a small wish for Robin.
Before this, she was alone, and other children were not very friendly towards her.
Later, some things happened, and although she now had companions, she still felt it wasn't enough.
If only she had a younger brother or sister, how wonderful that would be.
Unfortunately, her mother would not have another child.
At this moment, Ace's appearance filled her with immense anticipation.
"Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, I will take good care of my brother," Robin nodded repeatedly.
"Brother is so cute," Robin reached out, poked Ace's face a few times, and smiled.
Rouge looked at the scene before her, a smile gracing her face. This feeling made her feel warmth and security.
Benedict gave some instructions and then bid farewell to Rouge.
By the sea on the Island of Knowledge.
Garp was waiting for Benedict's arrival.
Benedict stood beside him and said with a smile, "Your request has been fulfilled."
"Do you need me to send you back?"
Garp chuckled and said, "See you in the New World."
"However, you need to be careful of the Five Elders' retaliation."
"I can't help you much, but I can try to reduce some of your pressure."
Benedict nodded, placed his hand on Garp's shoulder, and the next moment, they both vanished.
When they reappeared, Benedict had brought Garp to the Flame Island.
Garp was silent for a moment and said, "Such enviable abilities."
"However, it's not enough to realize your dreams."
"Such abilities can only ensure your survival."
Benedict smiled and faced the sea, saying, "Don't worry, you can't imagine my strength."
Garp's large palm slammed down heavily towards Benedict. Benedict didn't move at all. After a moment, he said, "I underestimated you."
Benedict's lips curved upwards. Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, he instantly disappeared.
Garp glanced at Benedict's previous position. Two deep footprints were clearly visible.
"This brat is becoming more and more terrifying."
"Perhaps, he really can achieve it."
Garp murmured, turned, and left.
Over the next month.
The actions of the Xuanwu Navy in conquering the South, North, and West Seas were also coming to a close.
More and more islands were being garrisoned by the Xuanwu Navy, with well-defined plans to quickly gain the trust of the island residents.
Meanwhile, the pirates on the seas were increasingly cornered, gathering on certain islands.
This also led to the continuous growth and integration of these pirates, forming alliances.
Such alliances were also a powerful force.
If it were only this, the Xuanwu Navy would simply need to gather their fleet and bomb them into oblivion.
However, to deal with the Xuanwu Navy.
The forces of the World Government, the Big Mom Pirates, the Beast Pirates, and other New World pirate factions began to participate among these pirate forces.
Therefore, Sakata Gintoki, Kenshiro, Yelyusji, Namazi, and other high-ranking personnel had no choice but to take them seriously.
However, unlike their previous individual actions, during this operation, Bai Qi was stationed at the Xuanwu Navy base, coordinating all forces to help them better defeat these pirates.
At the same time, the intelligence department was also operating at full capacity.
Not only that, but the Ghost Squad was also mobilized.
Hanma Yujiro's strength was formidable. After joining the Ghost Squad, he did not immediately head to the New World but instead began challenging famous experts in the four seas.
As a result, Hanma Yujiro was now somewhat well-known in the four seas.
Because Hanma Yujiro publicly claimed to be a marine and was accompanied by a team of ten elites, many people harbored some hostility towards Hanma Yujiro's challenges.
This hostility did not matter to Hanma Yujiro.
After all, he could kill marines, and it also gave him people to fight.
"This battle-crazed guy, does he intend to barge in alone?" Daizhi said, unable to comprehend, watching Hanma Yujiro lead his team towards Swan Island.
"He's overconfident due to his skill." Jing Ke, with a blade of grass in his mouth, said, "Since he's willing to act, let him go."
"Our target is still their high-level combatants."
"It's also good to have him attract attention."
Yasuo, wearing a hat and a mask, watched Hanma Yujiro land on the island and said, "This is a very powerful expert."
"To fight against such an expert, one must maintain twelve points of focus."
The three of them fell silent for a moment.
Daizhi became invisible, turned into a gust of wind, and disappeared.
Approximately several minutes later, Daizhi returned.
"Those people are still there."
"There's no movement at all, as if they're still waiting for us."
Daizhi reappeared and then said to the three of them.
The reason the three of them had not acted was due to the presence of those people.
This was also a force that they were wary of after receiving intelligence.
"Do you want to play with them?"
"These people have been searching for our whereabouts and have been tracking us for quite some time."
"If we don't give them a welcome gift, it feels wrong."
Daizhi looked at Jing Ke and Yasuo with some anticipation and said.
"I cannot expose my identity yet," Yasuo mused slightly, "However, I can lend you a hand."
Daizhi looked at Jing Ke.
Having cooperated with Jing Ke for some time, their abilities could complement each other well, allowing their strength to be fully utilized.
Jing Ke smiled upon hearing this and said, "In that case, let's play with them."
During this time, both Jing Ke and Daizhi had been trying to capture Doflamingo.
However, to their surprise, Doflamingo had remained well-hidden. They searched for a long time without finding him.
Instead, at Doflamingo's stronghold, there were some CP0 agents, who were also quite strong and had excellent reconnaissance capabilities.
Daizhi's actions had alerted them, and thus a force quickly appeared and began constantly searching for their traces.
