Under Victor's command, the Special Operations Unit began their landing.
They had only one mission: kill anyone they encountered, leaving no survivors.
In the village closest to the beach.
Sporadic gunfire rang out at any moment.
Survivors were found and immediately shot dead.
At this time, a Marine Soldier named Omar discovered a cellar.
The cellar door was closed.
Omar opened the cellar door.
As light shone into the cellar, Omar saw the faces of over a dozen children.
These children were all frail, and had purplish-red pustules on their faces, which looked terrifying.
At the same time, Omar noticed their eyes were filled with fear, and they were all crowding into the corner of the room.
"Anything?"
A Second Lieutenant arrived outside the cellar and asked Omar.
Omar turned around and reported, "Sir, there are many children inside."
"Then execute them all," the Second Lieutenant ordered, frowning.
"But... but... they're just children." Omar's hand holding the gun trembled. How could he kill these sick children?
The Second Lieutenant commanded, "Obey orders."
"These, they're all children." Omar gritted his teeth, still unable to bring himself to fire.
If he had to risk his life fighting Pirates, he would do so without hesitation.
But to kill sick children...
"If you can't do it, get out of the way." The Second Lieutenant had no patience to persuade him, and then ordered several Marine Soldiers to act.
"You're not allowed in!"
Omar blocked the cellar entrance, preventing anyone from passing.
"Arrest him." The Second Lieutenant lost his patience.
The surrounding Marine Soldiers swarmed forward, intending to arrest Omar.
However, Omar raised his gun, as if to resist.
"Put down your gun!"
"Omar!"
"Are you crazy?"
The Marine Soldiers hadn't expected Omar to aim his gun at his comrades.
At this moment, Victor walked over.
"What's wrong?" Victor asked the Second Lieutenant.
Upon seeing Victor, the Second Lieutenant immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Rear Admiral Victor, children were found inside, but Private Omar is trying to stop others."
Victor walked up to Omar.
Seeing Victor, Omar's hand holding the gun trembled.
He could use his gun to force others back, but he couldn't threaten Victor.
"Never point your gun at your comrades, and never point your gun at your superior."
Victor reached out and grabbed the rifle. He gave a gentle pull, and the rifle was in his hand.
Omar didn't dare to resist at all.
"Don't feel guilty. They've all been infected with the virus. If it spreads outside, more people will die."
Victor casually fabricated a reason in front of everyone.
Of course, his subordinates would believe it was a reason provided by the World Government.
"I can help you transfer to another unit."
Victor patted Omar's shoulder, then handed the rifle to another Marine Soldier.
"Blow it up," Victor said to a Marine Soldier.
"Yes!" The Marine Soldier threw an explosive towards the cellar.
The cellar collapsed.
There could be no survivors inside!
Omar stared at all of this, dumbfounded, then knelt on the ground.
In a small alley in the town, Wright found a diary.
The diary's owner was a doctor who recorded a strange disease that broke out in the Kingdom of Ratar.
All citizens infected with the strange disease suffered from festering skin.
The doctor investigated and discovered the problem was with the water source.
The water source of the Kingdom of Ratar was polluted.
And the source of the pollution came from the mining area.
The minerals produced in the mining area were the main source of economic revenue for the Kingdom of Ratar in the past.
It was precisely because their resources were depleted that the Kingdom of Ratar was unable to pay Celestial Gold and lost the protection of the World Government.
Furthermore, when the Kingdom of Ratar sought help from the outside world, no doctors came to assist them.
The entire country was under the control of the World Government's Army.
All ships were destroyed.
Nearly a million people in the entire country were quarantined.
Wright handed the diary to Connor.
After Connor quickly read through it, he frowned and said, "It has something to do with the World Government."
Wright said, "That's why they issued the Buster Call."
"Give it to Senior first."
At this moment, Wright said to Connor.
Connor nodded.
Immediately, Connor and Wright found Victor.
They were responsible for clearing the east side and searching for survivors.
"Senior." Wright handed the diary to Victor and whispered, "The World Government is hiding the truth."
After Victor finished reading, he threw the diary into the bonfire.
Victor patted Wright's shoulder, "Do you remember what I told you?"
"Obey orders." Wright stood at attention and replied loudly.
"Mm." Victor continued to walk forward.
This scene was watched from afar by someone.
Nearly a million people in the Kingdom of Ratar all died under the Buster Call.
However, no one cared about it.
Because they had already been forgotten by the world.
For years, the World Government had isolated the Kingdom of Ratar, and no information could reach the outside world.
Similar incidents occurred in the country known to the world as the "White Town," Flevance.
The World Government had deliberately and for a long time concealed the toxicity of Lead Poison and its characteristic of accumulating in the bodies of those with prolonged exposure.
As a result, the residents of Flevance all suffered from "Lead Disease," characterized by abnormally pale skin, shortened lifespans, and ultimately, the inability for patients to have children.
Moreover, due to the World Government's deliberate neglect, coupled with neighboring countries mistaking Lead Disease for a terrible infectious disease, they successively implemented quarantine measures against Flevance, and even killed Flevance residents who contracted the disease.
Mary Geoise, Pangu City.
Within the halls of power, the Gorosei were reading a report from CP0.
According to CP0's surveillance, Victor performed excellently during the Buster Call.
He resolutely carried out orders and transferred all soldiers who refused to obey orders out of the Special Operations Unit.
All evidence that could potentially endanger the World Government was also destroyed by Victor.
The old man with straight white hair smiled and said, "He truly did not disappoint us."
"This is within our expectations," the old man with glasses chuckled.
The bald old man chuckled, "The youngest and most powerful Admiral in Navy history will be the new face of the World Government."
The old man with curly hair said, "Indeed, he is much more reliable than Garp."
At this moment, the old man with blond hair asked, "Then should we transfer him to the New World?"
The bald old man said, "Let him accumulate more military achievements; this is necessary and will also enhance his deterrent power."
The old man with straight white hair said, "Yes, I think so too."
"Hahaha."
The Gorosei exchanged knowing glances.
Victor was a sharp sword they had forged.
He needed not only immense strength but also terrifying prestige!
Just like Garp, pirates would tremble at the mere mention of Garp's name!
