"System, use the Special Forces Summoning Stone."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for consuming a Special Forces Summoning Stone and successfully summoning the special forces 'God of Slaughter' Bai Qi."
Boom!
A roar echoed on Dras Island.
It was as if someone had descended from the sky, causing the ground to shake.
At the same time, an extremely dense killing aura permeated the entire island.
The Xuanwu Navy soldiers and the arrested pirates on the island trembled with fear under this chilling aura. Some with weaker nerves were even scared to death and fainted.
Ken Jiro, feeling the incredibly dense killing aura, became extremely solemn.
He moved at an incredible speed and soon arrived at a high ground.
Ken Jiro looked down at the person in the deep pit, as if seeing countless vengeful spirits lingering around. When his eyes met the other's pupils, Ken Jiro's pupils contracted sharply.
An aura of killing intent taken to the extreme.
Just a glance, and the feeling of being on the verge of death was particularly apparent.
Benedict flew over, looking at the person in the deep pit, his shock still lingering.

Looking at the information of the God of Slaughter Bai Qi, Benedict revealed a smile.
Compared to Ken Jiro, Sakata Gintoki, Jing Ke, Daizhi, and Yasuo, the God of Slaughter Bai Qi was not only a powerful general but also a well-rounded commander.
Such a figure was more suitable to lead the navy.
After so many summons, he had finally acquired a commander-type talent.
The confrontation with the World Government was unavoidable.
For now, it was only a small-scale friction, but what about the future? It would definitely be a larger-scale war.
"In darkness, I yearn for light."
"My soldiers, it's time to rise and fight."
A faint voice echoed, solemn and heavy.
In just a few words, hell turned into a battlefield.
Ken Jiro subconsciously took half a step forward and assumed an offensive stance.
With Ken Jiro's current strength, although he knew Bai Qi was strong, if they were to fight, he wouldn't be afraid of Bai Qi.
This was Ken Jiro's feeling.
"Ken Jiro, he's one of us." Benedict glanced at Ken Jiro and said with a smile.
Ken Jiro was slightly stunned, then retracted his fist.
Bai Qi leaped out of the deep pit and appeared before Benedict, cupping his fists and saying, "Bai Qi reports to the Marshal."
Benedict nodded, a smile on his face, and said, "Bai Qi, I've been looking forward to this for a long time."
"With you here, the command of the navy will be temporarily handed over to you from now on."
Ken Jiro, standing beside them, was somewhat shocked.
He did not expect Benedict to trust the bearded Bai Qi so much, to the point of temporarily handing over the authority to command the Xuanwu Navy to him as soon as he reported for duty.
Bai Qi did not refuse. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Marshal, for your trust."
Benedict nodded and laughed heartily, "Since you're here, let's head back to headquarters first so everyone can meet."
Three major events had been accomplished today, enough to shock the world and give the Gorosei a headache for a while.
With Ken Jiro and Bai Qi on his shoulders, Benedict directly activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, constantly teleporting. In a short time, he returned to the Xuanwu Navy base.
Before returning, Benedict had notified Sakata Gintoki and Kaku to return to the Xuanwu Navy base.
However, what surprised Benedict was that Buggy could not be contacted.
Not only him, but the Xuanwu Navy soldiers on the warships were also unable to contact him.
Initially, Benedict just thought they might have entered a special zone and lost contact.
Therefore, he didn't pay much attention.
However, five days later, when Sakata Gintoki, Yelu Siji, Kaku, and other high-ranking officers returned, and Buggy was still nowhere to be seen, Benedict realized that this matter was not simple.
"Does anyone know any news about Buggy?" Benedict looked at everyone and asked.
Ken Jiro and Kaku shook their heads, indicating they had no contact.
Sakata Gintoki raised his hand and said, "We had contact half a month ago. At that time, he was still in the West Blue."
"And, from what I know, they encountered the Red Hair Pirates at that time and fought on a certain island."
"Except for a few casualties, everyone else was knocked out. Buggy was defeated but not captured."
"One of the Lieutenants recalled that Buggy seemed to have had a conversation with Shanks. After they woke up, Buggy's personality had changed somewhat."
"When the last message was sent back, Buggy had a conflict with the Eight Treasure Water Tribe, and then there was no more news."
Listening to Sakata Gintoki's words, Benedict frowned slightly.
Shanks the Red-Haired and Buggy the Clown. Their relationship was that they were once apprentice pirates on the same ship, and their relationship was quite good.
Secondly, Shanks the Red-Haired's identity was rather special. Before Roger died, he had given Shanks some instructions.
It was for this reason that when he discovered Shanks and Buggy, he kept Buggy and did not forcibly detain Shanks.
Now, it seemed that Shanks must have said something to Buggy.
Otherwise, Buggy's personality would not have changed.
Buggy's cowardly and timid nature was because his strength was insufficient.
As long as he was given enough strength, he would dare to do anything, even make grand claims.
Furthermore, Buggy had a strong knack for picking up opportunities, always managing to escape from various dangerous situations miraculously.
It was as if he possessed great wisdom disguised as foolishness, making him unfathomable.
However, any problems Buggy had were often written on his face, and everyone knew he had issues.
Benedict rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before deciding to ignore that guy for the time being.
After the Skypiea arc, he had intended to let Buggy have his own way.
To put it bluntly, it was a form of fishing.
He just didn't know if this guy could surprise him.
Besides him, Enel had been restless lately.
He had brought Enel to the North Blue, where he witnessed true war. Then, he had a spar with Sakata Gintoki, and as a result, he was thoroughly beaten.
Now, he was staying in the North Blue, leading a small team to clear pirates and combat gangster forces.
He seemed to be working hard, but at his young age, he had also attracted attention. It remained to be seen how he would make his choices.
The powerful forces in the North Blue were not just the Vinsmoke family.
There was also the 'Joker' who was lurking and stirring up trouble in the underground world.
