A hundred meters away from the Xuanwu Naval Base.
A pirate ship, a hundred meters long, lay quietly.
On it, over two hundred soldiers in iron armor, wielding long sabers, stood straight in various corners, their expressions solemn and serious.
At the same time, a burly man in golden armor with a beard over a meter long, stepped onto the deck and took the telescope handed to him by his subordinate.
Looking at the grand Xuanwu Naval Base, which was close at hand.
Wang Zhi felt a shock in his heart. Such a scale was comparable to the Naval Headquarters, and not inferior in any way.
But unfortunately, the person who owned this base was a youth, and the strongest among those around him was only a Vice Admiral, followed by a silver-haired Rear Admiral.
As for the other marines, they were proficient in the Six Powers of the Marines, comparable to the elites of the Naval Headquarters.
In terms of scale and combat power, the Xuanwu Naval Base alone had the capital to traverse the Grand Line.
But that was all.
On the Grand Line, bases of the scale of Xuanwu Naval Base were as common as sand.
However, in terms of foundation, the Naval Headquarters and the World Government were the strongest.
"What a pity." Wang Zhi handed the telescope back to his subordinate, calmly stating, and then turned to return to the cabin.
"Captain, they're here." Just then, a pirate shouted.
Wang Zhi heard this and swept his gaze into the distance.
About fifty pirate ships, a total of thirty-three pirate groups, were approaching from both sides.
The captains of these pirate ships almost all had bounties of over fifty million.
Even some captains had bounties exceeding one hundred and fifty million Berries, and were quite famous in the West Blue, South Blue, and North Blue.
Now, for some reason, they had all come here from thousands of miles away.
"Hahaha, is that the Xuanwu Naval Base?"
"Brothers, destroy it and let the Xuanwu Navy know the terror of us North Blue 'King of Soldiers'."
On the King of Soldiers pirate ship, Yelvusj, a burly man with a bounty of one hundred and eighty million, known as the 'King of Soldiers', gripped a thick, thousand-jin black iron rod and looked at the nearby Xuanwu Naval Base, laughing excitedly.
Hearing his captain Yelvusj's words, the members of the King of Soldiers pirate group all patted their chests and let out loud cheers.
They originally belonged to the Royal Guard of a certain kingdom but were persecuted and forced to take to the seas. Under Yelvusj's leadership, their years of wandering had made them very famous in the East Blue.
They even had six users of the Zoan Zoan Fruit.
Looking at the King of Soldiers pirate group excitedly howling, Bu Zi, the captain of the nearby Azure Wolf Pirate Group, narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "A bunch of barbarians."
Antley, the vice-captain, holding a curved saber, sneered and said, "Barbarians are good. Let them charge at the front as cannon fodder later."
Bu Zi smiled slightly and then looked into the distance.
There, a ship was anchored, and the person on it was a terrifying existence.
From that legendary pirate ship, his reputation, like his captain's, could not be underestimated.
However, fortunately, they were not here to become enemies this time.
About several minutes later, dozens of pirate ships gathered near Wang Zhi's Golden Tiger pirate ship.
Wang Zhi stood on the mast, looking down at the dozens of pirate ships.
Looking at the assembled fighting force, apart from the captains and a few elites, the rest were trash.
If possible, Wang Zhi did not want to cooperate with these people.
But, unfortunately, he had no choice.
Either take down the Xuanwu Navy, or be taken down and executed.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhi clenched his fist, his gaze towards the distance, his eyes flashing with anger and killing intent.
Although it was fleeting, the captains who had gathered immediately felt the fleeting killing intent from Wang Zhi.
Just this trace of aura made them feel a great sense of crisis.
As expected of the core strength from that ship, this strength was above A+, possibly even S-class.
They already possessed Admiral-level strength.
They were all B-class, equivalent to the strength of a Rear Admiral in the Naval Headquarters.
Bu Zi, Yelvusj, Madanli, and other captains tacitly came to the Golden Tiger Pirate Group.
Looking at the members of the Golden Tiger Pirate Group, with their strict discipline, cold expressions, wielding long sabers, and exuding a fierce aura, Bu Zi and the others exchanged glances, their hearts filled with shock.
The members of the Golden Tiger Pirate Group at this moment did not look like pirates, but rather like soldiers.
Even sensing the aura on them, the weakest of these people had reached E-class, and some had reached D-class and C-class.
Even the man standing under the mast as the vice-captain, wearing silver armor, wielding dual axes, and wearing a silver helmet, gave them immense pressure.
Could he be 'Silver Axe'?
Everyone was lost in thought, but no one asked at this moment.
Wang Zhi came onto the deck. With a height of two meters and a half and a sturdy build, Wang Zhi stood tall and even more powerful among the many captains.
"You all know why you are here."
"If you don't want to die, you will go all out to take it down later."
Wang Zhi's gaze swept over everyone, then he extended his hand, pointing at the Xuanwu Naval Base, and said solemnly.
Hearing Wang Zhi's direct words, Bu Zi and the others were silent for a moment before dispersing.
Yes, if they didn't want to die, they had to take down the Xuanwu Naval Base.
Otherwise, what awaited them was torment they could not bear.
On the gate of the Xuanwu Naval Base.
Benedict, along with all the members of the Xuanwu Navy, stood ready.
Buggy refused to wear a marine uniform, and his attire remained the same, the only difference being the addition of a marine cloak.
And the rank Benedict gave Buggy was Ensign, commanding 100 men.
Dozens of pirate ships were approaching the Xuanwu Naval Base, and the legend of the Rocks Pirates, Wang Zhi, might be among them.
This immediately piqued Benedict's interest, who was currently subjecting Buggy to hellish training.
Benedict did not know much about Wang Zhi.
Firstly, being a core member of the Rocks Pirates' ship, his strength was definitely terrifying.
At least, he had reached A-class, equivalent to the strength of a Vice Admiral in the Naval Headquarters, and might even be close to Admiral-level strength.
The only pity was that they had almost no opportunity to appear, and their fame was not as great as Whitebeard and others.
However, looking at his name, his golden armor, and his long beard, it made him feel a sense of familiarity.
However, this person, who had died at some unknown time and for some unknown reason, was now leading dozens of pirate ships, preparing to attack the Xuanwu Naval Base, which was quite provocative.
"Ding, the system has detected that the pirate alliance led by the Golden Tiger Pirate Group will attack the Xuanwu Naval Base in half an hour. A mission is hereby issued: Defeat the pirate alliance. Mission rewards: A pair of Destroyer Gauntlets, Reinforcement Stones * 50, Justice Points: 1000."
The sudden appearance of the system mission brought a smile to Benedict's face, who was filled with anticipation.
That's right, with such a major event, how could there not be a mission?
However, these Destroyer Gauntlets were quite interesting.
Destroyer Gauntlets: Destroyer Gauntlets from a high-martial-arts world, rumored to possess the miraculous power to shatter the sky with a single punch.
Attribute Boost: When attacking with these gauntlets, the number of consecutive hits within three minutes increases, and it can trigger triple, quintuple, and tenfold critical damage bonuses, as well as the miraculous effect of ignoring defense.
Understanding the attributes of the Destroyer Gauntlets, Benedict instinctively looked at Kenshiro. These gauntlets seemed tailor-made for him.
