Outside the Xuanwu Naval Base.
Fifteen naval vessels were arrayed, standing ready.
Beyond these fifteen warships, there was another vessel.
This warship was five nautical miles away from the fifteen warships, hidden in the darkness.
There were few people on this warship, but everyone's strength was formidable.
And at this moment, a man was leaning quietly against the mast, his gaze deep as he looked into the far distance, holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand.
In the faint light, it could be seen that it was a golden Den Den Mushi.
"The time has come."
A woman's voice rang out, followed by the sound of footsteps as a shapely leg, encased in black stockings, emerged from the darkness.
It was a voluptuous, nearly perfect blonde woman.
And her voice served as a reminder to the burly man leaning against the mast.
"What a pity." The burly man heard this, and in the faint light, one could see his devilishly charming smile, his words filled with amusement and disdain.
The main gate of the Xuanwu Naval Base.
"Buster Call!"
"They really are going all out!"
Benedict recalled Garp's words and now he somewhat understood.
The World Government, from the very beginning, intended to erase the Xuanwu Navy from this world.
The massacre of villagers on Liulu Island was the start of the World Government's preparation to use the Buster Call.
"As expected."
"One still cannot underestimate the World Government."
Benedict murmured to himself, his gaze towards the fifteen naval vessels becoming deeper.
"Gin-san, let the swords fly for a while," Benedict said suddenly, looking at Sakata Gintoki.
Sakata Gintoki immediately understood.
"Alright!"
Sakata Gintoki responded with a smile, and then instantly drew his sword.
Gasps followed.
The Xuanwu Navy personnel all felt the sword aura of Xuanwu beside them at that moment.
But what shocked them even more was the countless appearances of Benedict.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
A Buster Call.
Even if the Xuanwu Navy had many warships to contend with, the Xuanwu Naval Base would still be attacked and destroyed.
Indeed, when fighting, one must fight on the enemy's territory, so one wouldn't feel heartache when their own side was damaged.
Hundreds of Benedicts landed precisely on the sword aura.
Sakata Gintoki, holding his sword, shouted with a somewhat wild expression, "Marshal, are you ready?"
"We're flying!"
"All swords, fire!"
Ten thousand swords were impossible.
But it was easy to transform small objects into hundreds of sword auras.
In an instant, Benedict's clones flew out with the sword aura.
The secret intelligence personnel on the three pirate ships were shocked by the sight of the countless Benedicts flying past.
Why were there so many identical Naval Marshals?
Why could they all fly in the sky, and so quickly?
Why weren't they attacking them?
Three questions echoed in their minds, filled with confusion.
But soon, someone reacted, pointing towards the warships several nautical miles behind them.
"Damn it, notify them immediately to prepare for defense."
"The Xuanwu Navy is launching a surprise attack, tell them to initiate the Buster Call immediately."
...
These people clearly knew about this operation.
And that was why their presence was actually for the final cleanup of those who remained alive after the Buster Call.
Especially for powerful fighters like Wang Zhi.
At the same time, they firmly believed that Wang Zhi and the others, after the Buster Call, would be unable to withstand their combined attack.
Concurrently, the golden Den Den Mushi's call was made.
A silver Den Den Mushi in someone's hand was answered, and a man's voice came through: "Buster Call, initiate!"
The man who received the order immediately said in a deep voice, "All warships, in five seconds, fire."
The order was given, and the fifteen warships immediately prepared to fire at any moment.
"Five"
"Four"
"Three"
"Two"
"Boom boom boom..."
As the countdown reached one, continuous booming sounds erupted.
There were the sounds of cannon fire, the sounds of warships being struck by heavy objects, and vibrations and tilting.
The barrages of swords were still somewhat off, not covering the fifteen warships.
Therefore, some warships unleashed their firepower.
But Benedict's clones also charged onto the approaching warships.
The sword auras that had flown several nautical miles landed on the warships with clinking sounds.
"Thank you for the warships you sent, we accept them."
The soldiers who launched the Buster Call, although a special unit with formidable combat power, were mostly required to have precise control and artillery strikes.
But even so, such combat power was too weak against Benedict's clones.
Benedict's clones, having landed quickly, swung their fists, rapidly taking lives and moving swiftly.
Their division of labor was clear, yet they possessed powerful combat capabilities.
Within moments, the fifteen warships lost the ability to continue the Buster Call.
At this time, on the Xuanwu Naval Base, Sakata Gintoki and Yelu Siji also led warships and engaged in fierce combat with the secret intelligence personnel from the three pirate ships.
On the other side.
The location of Azkaban.
With the initiation of the Buster Call, nearly a hundred CP6 members who had been approaching and lurking also launched an attack.
But at this time, Jianzhirou, leading special forces, also moved swiftly.
Another group of forces approaching the rehabilitation base clashed with Wang Zhi's Golden Tiger Squad.
For a time, almost the entire Xuanwu Naval Base was engaged in combat.
Benedict ascended to the highest lookout tower of the Xuanwu Naval Base, using his Observation Haki, he gained a general understanding of the combat across the entire base.
"Indeed, one cannot underestimate the World Government's resolve."
"They mobilized such formidable manpower and material resources into the East Blue, yet our intelligence did not detect it."
"It seems this intelligence channel still needs to be strengthened."
"However, while your resolve is commendable, you have still underestimated my Xuanwu Navy."
Benedict looked at the battle before him, a smile appearing on his face.
He smiled with satisfaction.
Of course, for the recently established Xuanwu Navy, their current reaction was satisfactory to him.
But if a full-scale war were to break out and they were to directly confront the World Government, the current Xuanwu Navy would certainly not be enough.
Especially since the power displayed by the World Government was merely the tip of the iceberg.
On the warships that launched the Buster Call, apart from a few individuals with decent strength who could contend with Benedict's clones, almost everyone was dealt with in a very short time.
Therefore, this Buster Call ended as soon as it began.
It did not serve its intended purpose.
As such, this Buster Call only caused some damage and casualties to the Xuanwu Navy.
In this regard, it was enough.
At the very least, the World Government still had fifteen warships as compensation.
"Hm? Some troublesome individuals have gotten so close?"
"They actually managed to evade my Observation Haki and approach me."
"However, I must thank you for the warships you brought, I will accept them without politeness."
"If possible, I would also like to invite you for tea at Azkaban."
"There shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Benedict's eyebrows slightly twitched, his gaze swept over several locations, and then he chuckled.
He had been discovered.
From the darkness, several figures slowly emerged.
"Benedict, the creator of the Xuanwu Pirates, who threatens the World Government's rule."
"You are under arrest."
