SWORD

SWORD is the Marine Headquarters Secret Special Force (機密特殊部隊) seemingly led by X Drake. Their overall mission and objectives are currently unknown.

Duties
Their operations involve undercover missions to monitor Four Emperors activity. Koby and X Drake were shown contacting each other to discuss urgent developments. SWORD uses code words to verify secure channels.

They are not informed of Cipher Pol's operations and their covert activities.

Strength
Although the current strength of the group is unknown, the accomplishments of its members are notable.


 * X Drake: Captain of SWORD and former Marine Rear Admiral, formerly undercover as a member of Kaidou's Beasts Pirates, and an infamous member of the Worst Generation. Within two years of joining Kaidou's crew, Drake was able to become a member of the Tobiroppo, a group that is considered the strongest of the Shinuchi.
 * Prince Grus: A Marine Rear Admiral who was able to easily take down Gotti, a member of the Fire Tank Pirates with a bounty of 90,000,000.
 * Koby: Marine Captain and an important figure during the Rocky Port Incident, who had also been deployed to assist in the arrest of Boa Hancock.
 * Hibari: Marine Commander and an associate of Koby.
 * Helmeppo: Marine Lieutenant Commander and partner of Koby.

"Gang" Bege's Oh My Family
Prince Grus and his squad were sent to Dressrosa after Bege and tracked down who they believed to be his wife, Charlotte Chiffon, and captured her. Gotti, a member of the Fire Tank Pirates saw the squad and gave chase, only to be defeated by Grus. Gotti later attacked their ship and rescue Chiffon's sister, Charlotte Lola.

Wano Country Arc


X Drake contacted Koby from Wano Country to debrief him on the progress of an unknown mission. He also updated Koby on Kaidou and Big Mom's alliance. Drake revealed that CP0 was also present in Wano, to which Koby reacted with shock and foreboding. Koby would inform Drake, that he was assigned to capture Boa Hancock following the Abolishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, making his way alongside a fleet of Marines towards Amazon Lily.

Egghead Arc
Though the fleet initially arrived alone, they were soon ambushed by the Blackbeard Pirates, who were aiming at capturing Boa Hancock and steal her Devil Fruit powers. Though both the Marines's and Blackbeard Pirates's goal of capturing Boa Hancock would ultimately fail, the Blackbeard Pirates would accomplish to abduct Koby instead.

As a result, both Helmeppo and Hibari begged Prince Grus's help in rescuing Koby, but were denied due to Grus's unwillingness to go to war against the emperor in their own territory, even with a Seraphim unit, and Drake's unavailability.

Trivia

 * Their name, SWORD, contrasts them with CP0, whose full name is Cipher Pol Aigis Zero. The word "Aigis" comes from the word "Aegis", meaning "Shield" in ancient Greek.
