He Is the Second Sengoku

Sengoku also possessed Conqueror's Haki, yet he still became Fleet Admiral. It's not as if Conqueror's Haki is a rare Haki in the New World.

As long as he doesn't let those people in Mary Geoise see his true intentions and ambitions, there shouldn't be much of a problem with outwardly supporting them.

It's nothing more than putting on an act.

He just needs to make everyone believe he's the second Sengoku.

When the time is right, he can realize his ambitions. With the mantle of Justice and a positive public image, coupled with a deeply cultivated persona of positive energy, he'll surely attract many righteous individuals when he calls upon them. Isn't that better than starting from scratch?

He can also make the World Government bleed.

The main reason is that Wilton has his sights set on the Marines' combat power and legacy. While it's undeniable that there are many corrupt elements within the Marines, a minority still possess Justice.

It's just that their ideals differ.

Once corrected, they will become a significant force.

Furthermore, there's the "Justice" that the Marines possess. It's a banner, and whether one admits it or not, when the Marines are mentioned on the seas, they represent Justice.

Whoever holds the banner of "Justice" is the legitimate one.

This is deeply ingrained.

Pirates are evil, and Marines are Justice.

Naturally, people are more inclined to believe in and support Justice.

"Yes."

Facing Wilton's orders, not a single Marine questioned him. Since Vice Admiral Wilton said they would flatten Spiders Cafe Town, then they would flatten it.

Even if they only had a little over fifty people.

Five directions.

Led by Sadi, Minotaurus, Minotaur Koala, Minotaur Rhino, and Minotaur Zebra respectively, they advanced together, commencing indiscriminate arrests of Pirates.

As the saying goes.

It's too easy to distinguish Pirates from ordinary people; their demeanor and aura make them easy to identify. The Pirates, who were initially watching the show, were all bewildered when Sadi and the others suddenly attacked.

"According to Vice Admiral Wilton's orders, flatten the Pirates in Spiders Cafe Town."

"Charge!"

"It's time to make a name for ourselves."

Facing the numerous Pirates in Spiders Cafe Town, Sadi's group of just over fifty was like a drop in the ocean. However, their fearless spirit was awe-inspiring.

Especially the four Jailer Beasts, who took down one Pirate with each strike, leaving them either dead or injured.

"Have these Marine Tough Guys gone mad?"

"Flatten Spiders Cafe Town? That's a pipe dream."

"Brothers, let's fight back."

"Captain, we should leave quickly. Even the Shichibukai were repelled by these Marine Tough Guys. It's better for us to avoid their edge for now."

In this purge.

There were Pirates who remained clear-headed, and there were those who took advantage of the chaos.

Some believed that Wilton was severely injured after his fight with Doflamingo and was now at the end of his rope, even actively attacking Wilton in an attempt to gain fame.

But who would have thought that Wilton would join the fray like a ferocious beast, wielding two dumbbells and charging wildly, leaving a trail of fallen Pirates in his wake?

Occasionally, black and red lightning would flash, and a sweep of Conqueror's Haki could clear out a large area.

Some Pirate crews who were observing saw how ferocious Wilton was and fled without a second word. This hardly looked like someone who was at the end of their rope.

At the same time.

A Marine base near Spiders Cafe Town received orders and dispatched five warships to head towards Spiders Cafe Town. A Vice Admiral's authority was greater than imagined.

Of course.

These were not fully equipped combat warships, but ordinary ones, as they were merely used for escorting Pirate criminals.

For a full day and night, the sounds of shouting and various cannon fire in Spiders Cafe Town gradually subsided. This time, Wilton truly went on a killing spree.

But he felt no psychological burden, as these were all extremely wicked Pirate thugs who deserved to die.

Not a single one of them was a good person.

As the first rays of dawn broke.

Five warships were docked at the dilapidated port, led by a Rear Admiral who brought along seven to eight hundred Marines.

But at this moment, all the Marines were wide-eyed, swallowing hard, their eyes reflecting shock and fear.

Everywhere they looked.

The scattered streets were stained red with blood, and piles of human-like mountains were stacked together, some dead, some still gasping for air.

Or perhaps cursing and swearing.

At the forefront.

Wilton, Sadi, the four Jailer Beasts, and over thirty Marines were covered in blood, as if they had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, exuding a murderous aura.

After a day and a night of fighting, all but the majority of pirate crews who had already fled were almost completely wiped out by them.

These pirates were either arrogant and conceited, or they had no other choice but to fight with their backs against the wall.

Unfortunately, their strength was too weak.

Even so, Wilton's subordinates suffered considerable losses. There were originally over fifty Marines, but now only a little over thirty remained, with more than ten of them severely wounded and on the verge of death.

"Vice Admiral Wilton, I am a Rear Admiral from XX Base."

The leading Rear Admiral, with a solemn expression, stepped forward to salute Wilton.

As a Vice Admiral from Headquarters, Wilton had the authority to request Marines from various bases or fortresses to assist in military operations.

Before coming to Spiders Cafe Town, Sadi had already obtained the contact information for several nearby Marine bases, so she only needed to make a phone call to relay Wilton's orders to the nearby bases.

Moreover, Wilton's reputation had soared during this period, not only within the Marines but also across the seas.

After all, the world's most evil man and the Shichibukai were figures renowned throughout the world.

"I apologize for the trouble. These behind me are all heinous pirates or criminals. Please verify their identities and process them according to procedure."

Wilton's face was resolute. After a day of cooldown, he could use Recovery, Heal, and Justice Potential again.

The impact of his battle with Doflamingo had completely disappeared.

He was now at his peak.

Therefore, when facing opponents of equal strength, he had no fear of attrition warfare; he only needed to survive for 24 hours to be fully revived.

"Yes."

Soon.

Six hours passed.

With the diligent efforts of seven to eight hundred Marines, a list appeared before Wilton, and the results were quite considerable.

There were over four hundred individuals with bounties ranging from ten million to thirty million Belly.

Over a hundred individuals with bounties from thirty to fifty million Belly.

More than fifty individuals from fifty to seventy million Belly.

Over twenty individuals from seventy million to one hundred million Belly.

Three individuals from one hundred million to two hundred million Belly.

Excluding those who had already died, a total of over five hundred pirates were captured this time, a feat not seen on the Grand Line for five to six years.

After all, it was rare for someone like Wilton to launch a carpet-style cleanup of a pirate island.

One could only say it was brave and fearless, or foolishly stubborn.

Unfortunately, there were still many who escaped. Those pirates who fled in advance were the most valuable, as they understood how to assess the situation and were not so arrogant.

Of course.

Spiders Cafe Town was vast, and Wilton couldn't possibly clear out every single person. There were certainly still pirates hiding, but Wilton was too lazy to waste any more time.

He had made up his mind to conduct large-scale cleanups and arrests from time to time in the future when carrying out missions or arriving at islands where pirates gathered.

On one hand, it would strengthen his persona as an enemy of evil. On the other hand, it would also show the World Government his unwavering support for Justice.

The only pity was that he didn't encounter Enel on his trip to the Sky Island. He didn't know where that guy had run off to; he waited all day but saw no sign of him.

However, the gold was extremely important.

It would be of great use in the future.
