The intrusion into the East Sea Navy base to abduct a World Government secret agent, and then publicly execute that secret agent, was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Marine Headquarters and the World Government.
And the instigator of all this was none other than the recently established Genbu Navy.
Such explosive news was incredibly attention-grabbing.
Therefore, the number of eyes gathered was countless.
But for Benedict, this was nothing at all.
At this moment, he was watching a rather interesting movie.
This was a real memory, stained with sin, plundered from the memory of a prisoner.
The user of the Nightmare-Nightmare Fruit, Aifulkennedy, could enter others' dreams only when the enemy was asleep, plunder their memories, create false memories, view others' memories, and even transfer plundered memories.
PS: I made up the Devil Fruit. The main purpose is to serve the protagonist, so don't mind it, my friends.
Aifulkennedy, though he didn't play a significant role in the Soldier King Pirate Group, his role was magnified infinitely at the re-education base, in Azkaban.
Therefore, Benedict directly appointed Aifulkennedy as one of the administrators of Azkaban.
Under normal circumstances, Azkaban only needed to send prisoners in, and Dementors would patrol and punish them, requiring no administrators at all.
But in Benedict's view, Aifulkennedy's abilities were very suitable for stealing intelligence.
"Scum worse than beasts!"
"These people deserve to die!"
Gintoki Sakata, after watching all the video projections, was filled with rage towards these members of the World Government's secret intelligence agency, CP9.
These people were simply inhumane.
They trafficked people, wantonly trampled on others' dignity, disregarded human life, collected all sorts of intelligence to sell, and so on. Their crimes were spread throughout the East Sea.
"Marshal, give me a team of five hundred men, I'm going to wipe them out," Clown Buggy shouted, banging on the table, his face flushed red with indignation. "How detestable, they wouldn't even let such cute children go."
"I'm so angry, damn traffickers, damn Navy, colluding with the wicked."
Kenshiro, Wang Zhi, Gin Axe, and Yelü Sijin remained silent, saying nothing.
Regarding the actions of the Navy and the members of the World Government's secret intelligence agency, CP9, they possessed strong discernment and a clear perspective.
Once these things become widespread and entrenched, regardless of what organization you are, these things will appear.
Even the Genbu Navy would not be an exception.
The World Government and Marine Headquarters had existed for countless years, and their roots, from the very beginning, were rotten.
"Since we know, and the evidence exists, let's take action."
Benedict was also extremely enraged by the crimes committed by these CP9 members.
Since Clown Buggy had volunteered, Benedict would not stop him.
As Benedict nodded, Gintoki Sakata, Kenshiro, Wang Zhi, Gin Axe, and Yelü Sijin also stood up and walked out.
Wearing this military uniform, bearing the word 'Justice', they also carried a responsibility to uphold justice in their hearts.
A moment later, at the port of the Genbu Navy base, Gintoki Sakata, Kenshiro, and other members had assembled their respective forces and boarded their warships.
Seeing this scene, Benedict smiled with relief.
As Marines, they had many things to do, but more importantly, they needed to have a 'just' heart.
Outside the Genbu Navy base.
A dog-headed warship was slowly approaching. As the harbor gates opened, it blocked the path of Gintoki Sakata and the others.
Karp, standing on the dog-headed warship, looked at the ten warships setting sail, and at Kenshiro, Wang Zhi, Gin Axe, and Clown Buggy on board, his face instantly fell.
At the same time, Bogart and other Navy members immediately entered a combat state.
Although they had already considered that there would be no fighting on their way here, and they were only here to negotiate.
But at this moment, seeing these warships and the powerful individuals on board, they couldn't help but feel nervous.
After all, not one of these people was weak.
"Marine Hero, Karp!"
Wang Zhi was very aware of Karp's combat prowess.
He had lost count of how many times he had seen Karp in action. Even when facing the universally acknowledged strongest man, Rocks, Karp's fists had never faltered.
Especially now, Karp had reached the peak of his combat strength.
No, this man's fists seemed to have no period of decline.
Wang Zhi and Kenshiro wore solemn expressions.
Even though they hadn't made a move yet, they could clearly feel the pressure emanating from him, a pressure that individuals with Admiral-level strength could perceive.
"Yo, sending such a grand formation to welcome my arrival, you truly honor me."
"Hahahaha!"
Karp placed his hands on his hips, puffed out his chest, and burst into laughter.
The atmosphere, amidst its subtlety, eased slightly.
Wang Zhi looked at Kenshiro.
Kenshiro nodded, stepped forward, and asked Karp, "Admiral Karp, this is the Genbu Navy base. May I ask the reason for your visit?"
It seemed that a fight would not break out, and they did not wish to engage Karp at this moment.
After laughing heartily, Karp then said loudly, "There's nothing much, I'm just here to have a drink with your brat of an Admiral."
Brat of an Admiral?
If it were anyone else using such a term, they would have taught them a lesson without hesitation.
But, Karp, standing before them?
It was better not to.
Gintoki Sakata said calmly, "It's Admiral Benedict!"
"Hahaha, Benedict, that's the kid. I know him, we've even sparred before."
"He's truly a formidable kid."
Karp said, laughing heartily.
Gintoki Sakata and the others exchanged glances upon hearing this.
Marine Hero Karp had sparred with their own Admiral?
When did this happen?
What was the outcome?
Did their Admiral win or lose? He was truly monstrous.
"Old man, I didn't expect the Five Elders to send you here."
Benedict, sprinting across the sea, made several leaps and arrived at the warship where Kenshiro was. He looked at Karp not far away with some surprise.
Hearing Benedict's words, Karp waved his fist and said displeasedly, "Brat, I'm only forty-nine years old now, not so old that I should be called an old man."
PS: I've estimated that it's currently Marine Road Year 1498. Zephyr is 48 years old this year. Karp, Sengoku, and Zephyr are comrades from the same era, with an age difference of only one or two years.
Benedict heard this and laughed heartily for a moment, then gazed at Karp and said, "Old man, do you want to fight?"
"Last time wasn't enough. This time, let's find a new place and fight to our heart's content."
