Amidst laughter, in lewd and vulgar words, they shamelessly toyed with young boys and girls and women.
Like pigs and dogs, they were bound and slaughtered, hung up and whipped under the sun, or chopped into pieces to feed crocodiles.
For power and profit, they slandered others at will, concealed the truth, and single-handedly altered the destinies of other nations.
Maliciously spreading rumors and gossip, they grievously wounded national heroes to strike at the justice upheld by other countries, to sabotage their thriving city economies, and their ongoing technological developments that benefited humanity.
To achieve their goals, they resorted to any means to commit all evils and conceal the truth, all while portraying themselves as saviors.
Such ugly visages were, however, exposed to the world without reservation by the Xuanwu Navy.
Anyone with a shred of justice in their heart, after this, felt nothing but resentment and anger towards the World Government and the Marines of Marine Headquarters.
The faith they held dear was collapsing.
The rebellious hearts within them grew ever more resolute.
The generals of Marine Headquarters remained silent, unsure how to refute.
Explain?
They could explain, even employ such tactics to cover up the truth and accuse the Xuanwu Navy of slander.
However, some things could not be lied about.
Some things could not be changed.
Benedict had, through his actions, delivered a harsh lesson to the demoralized populace and the corrupt 'justice.'
"He is truly an extraordinary person."
"But doing this is too risky."
"The mighty power of the World Government and Marine Headquarters is not something you can withstand."
Hidden among the crowd, watching the broadcast of those unbearable and despair-inducing scenes, Monkey D. Dragon felt both shocked and a hint of pity for Benedict's actions.
Even he, with his many recruited companions, would not dare to stand so openly against the Marines.
To overthrow the rule of the World Government, this alone was not enough.
Whitebeard Pirates.
"Old man, I've become interested in this Xuanwu Navy Marshal."
"How audacious, to directly challenge the World Government and Marine Headquarters."
"It's a shame he's a Marine and we are pirates, otherwise, I'd like to meet him sometime, have a grand banquet, and get thoroughly drunk."
Marco the Pineapple Head, looking at the newspaper and the astonishing actions of the Xuanwu Navy, couldn't help but exclaim with admiration.
Jozu the Diamond also exclaimed with a smile, "He's quite a character."
"Resisting the World Government, resisting Marine Headquarters, establishing the Xuanwu Navy, doing righteous deeds, and showing no mercy even to people like us. Hahaha, why do I suddenly think of someone who seems to be doing the same thing?"
Satchi ran a hand through his hair and said with a smile, "It's Dragon, that guy visited Old man a while ago."
"However, he's much more cautious, a true pragmatist."
Whitebeard put down the newspaper, falling into a brief contemplation.
Satchi and the others did not disturb him, instead continuing their own conversations below.
Lately, Old man had been acting a bit strange.
He seemed to be showing some concern for matters concerning the Xuanwu Navy.
Whole Cake Island.
Charlotte Katakuri held a projected Den Den Mushi, playing the truth revealed by the Xuanwu Navy.
An hour later, Big Mom crushed the Den Den Mushi and said dismissively, "To make enemies of the World Government, they are still too naive."
"Continue to monitor the Xuanwu Navy, and when necessary, fan the flames."
After a pause, Big Mom added, "If it means the World Government suffers heavy losses, I don't mind helping the Xuanwu Navy put them in their place."
Charlotte Katakuri replied calmly, then turned and left.
As Big Mom's second son, Charlotte Katakuri possessed exceptional wisdom, strategy, and combat prowess, and was the most valued among all her children.
Therefore, many matters required his arrangements.
An island on the outskirts of Wano Country.
Beasts Pirates.
They were currently conquering Wano Country, engaging in daily battles with the samurai, and intended to make it their base.
"Governor, the Xuanwu Navy has done something truly remarkable."
"They've shown absolutely no respect to the World Government or Marine Headquarters."
"It's truly exhilarating to watch."
King handed a newspaper to Kaido and laughed heartily with excitement.
Kaido quickly scanned it, a smile appearing on his face, followed by a booming laugh.
He would show no respect to the World Government or the Marines, no matter who they were.
As long as they dared to fight, he would fight.
Until they could kill him.
But to this day, no one had managed to do so.
Yet, even so, he remained filled with dissatisfaction towards the World Government and Marine Headquarters.
After all, they had brought him humiliation.
Therefore, seeing the World Government and Marine Headquarters so thoroughly slapped and humiliated by the Xuanwu Navy naturally filled him with excitement.
Xuanwu Navy Base.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission, acquiring Soldier Enhancement Stones*5, Special Forces Trainers*10, Justice Points: 1000"
As one truth after another was laid bare before everyone, restoring the reputation of the Xuanwu Navy Base and clearing their name of wrongful accusations, the rewards for completing the mission also arrived.
The Soldier Enhancement Stones fell into the spatial warehouse, and the Special Forces Trainers reported to duty at the training base.
Benedict immediately went to inspect these ten Special Forces Trainers.
Their imposing physiques, even their appearances, were almost indistinguishable from the summoned special forces soldiers.
However, the strength of these ten individuals was such that each possessed combat power no less than that of a Rear Admiral.
Furthermore, these ten were proficient in the Six Powers of the Marines and excelled at training others in the Six Powers of the Marines, enabling them to train Marines who mastered the Six Powers of the Marines at the fastest possible speed and in the shortest amount of time.
Indeed, their abilities, as described by their attributes, allowed them to train individuals in the Six Powers of the Marines in sixty days.
The Xuanwu Navy would constantly grow stronger and expand into other seas, requiring a vast number of naval soldiers.
Relying solely on the daily summons from the system, who could say for certain that their future needs would be met?
Therefore, the existence of Special Forces Trainers at this juncture was exceptionally necessary.
Benedict lovingly incorporated these ten individuals into the ranks of instructors, granting them the rank of Colonel and the benefits of a Rear Admiral, before departing.
As for the criminals undergoing execution, those matters would naturally be handled by Kenjiro and the others.
The identity of CP0 was rather special, and they held many secrets, which was why Benedict did not intend to execute them so quickly.
After being confined to Azkaban, Ever Kennedy had been working very diligently.
Now, he was curious about what secrets CP0 held.
After all, knowing more secrets could never be a bad thing.
Azkaban.
Ever Kennedy rushed forward to greet Benedict upon his arrival, saying, "Marshal, the consciousness of these three CP0 agents is very firm. Even when they sleep, and I enter their dreams to excavate their memories, they quickly awaken."
"Have you not obtained any useful intelligence?" Benedict inquired with some curiosity.
"The gains are minimal," Ever Kennedy replied with a hint of helplessness.
"But it's not as if there's been no gain at all," Ever Kennedy added. "I have managed to find some useful information from one of them."
"It seems to be related to information from a hundred years ago, and a place called Ohara."
Benedict blinked slightly at this, then began to recall.
In Marineford year 1500, Ohara was destroyed by a Buster Call, and eight-year-old Robin escaped.
In the same year, Ace was born, and Golden Lion escaped prison.
At this time, Shanks was 17 years old.
With these pieces of information flashing through his mind, Benedict immediately understood.
Ohara, a renowned archaeological sacred land in the West Blue, was the hometown of Nico Robin.
It was home to the world's largest number of scholars and the library with the most extensive collection of books, the Tree of Knowledge.
However, because the World Government sought to conceal the truth from 800 years prior and prevent its exposure, upon learning that these scholars possessed the ability to decipher Poneglyphs and were actively searching for them, they unhesitatingly issued a Buster Call.
And at this current juncture, the scholars of Ohara were increasingly pushing themselves towards a dangerous precipice.
"Ding! Randomly triggered mission: Save Ohara and ensure that the destruction of the Tree of Knowledge's collection does not exceed 30%. Mission deadline: One month to complete the mission. Mission rewards: Soldier Enhancement Stones*20, Golden Treasure Chest*1, Justice Points: 1000. Does the host accept the mission?"
Benedict frowned slightly upon hearing this, realizing that completing the mission within a month was rather tight.
The journey from the East Blue to Ohara in the West Blue was long, and with the current status of the Xuanwu Navy, they would undoubtedly face obstruction.
Especially to evacuate the scholars of Ohara and ensure that less than 30% of the collection was damaged, it was clear that the obstacles encountered would be far from minor.
However, completing the mission within a month was not impossible.
After all, the rewards of 20 Soldier Enhancement Stones, and especially the Golden Treasure Chest, were quite worth looking forward to.
"Accept mission." After a brief period of thought, Benedict agreed.
"Ding! Due to the host's intervention, the fate of Ohara has changed. The World Government will also accelerate its measures, and will launch a Buster Call towards Ohara within one month. The host must endeavor to complete the mission before the Buster Call is launched."
"If the mission fails, one of the host's abilities will be immediately revoked."
Hearing the system's voice echo in his mind, Benedict's face instantly darkened.
He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he hadn't expected it to be this ruthless.
It was one thing for the World Government to be ruthless, but even the system was so predatory.
"Excavate all information regarding Ohara. I need to know how far their actions have progressed," Benedict said sternly to Ever Kennedy.
Ever Kennedy quickly responded, "Yes, Marshal. I guarantee the mission will be completed."
