Marine Crusaders

Crusaders
        Crusaders  are a army of marines set up by Fleet admiral SakaZuki (Akainu) to spread the word of Absolute justice through biblic instruction and eliminating any that oppose World Government laws through suffrage. They are the World Government poster childs to the fight against pirates. There set up is in the grand line to make up for the transfer of Marineford to the new world. The number and size is a small fraction in the comparison to the marines. Due to this they emphasize in qaulity over qauntiny. E ven raising their knights from youth to adult on their head qaurters. The organization has been a 200 years in the making before revealing itself. The best time was during the chaos of the time skip where they took control of maintaining peace and hunting down pirate crews from fresh brand new ones to notorious killers.

Duties
The crusaders ( Iron knights) duties expand from holding sermans on how the world noble's were choosen to ceate the laws that keep all commonders safe from criminals  foreign or domestic, to hunting down pirate crews leaving only a destroyed ship as evideince of the crew's exsistance and all who have assisted the specific crew. Amongst their duties is also enforcing the people's ideas of justice by holding sermons for the youth and bring books that are more " WG Friendly". They even allow children to join as squires and teach them skills for army mainteince.

One dutie is Capturing Pirate captains alive to have them "Rehabilitated" through vegapunk's Cyborg studies to create the ultimate symbol of the power of Justice. Due to this Marines and Crusaders are now in competition on the grand line to capture pirates. Thou the Crusaders are lower in number, they make up for it for most grunts  being students in the Rokushiki art Tekkai(thus the nickname). Therefore making ingenuity the best way to beat them. Like let's say a direct cannon to the stomach or a few bombs. Other than hunting pirates and making propoganda by destruction or sermons at villages they have few duties.

Crusader units are made up of Squires that maintain the ship, armor, food and rehabilatated cyborg soldiers. Squires are young children that joined up from a sermon mostly orphans who have no parents to advise the otherwise. Swords who are millitants in training that are usually back in their headqaurters or on patrol parties. Knights which serve as officers and are all Rokushiki users even some haki or devil fruit users. All three are diffrent caste of military and only the squire is found in all unit. As in some ships or outposts would be squires and low-high ranked swords. Some would squires and low- high ranked knights only. Only on hunting parties and Holy warships are all three found on sea together. Than there is a special unit called war priests which serve as the equivlant to vice admiarls, being haki users they are considered the most dangerous to find on seas. Being granted even the extra power of special weapons with destructive capability. There main purpose thou is to lead and the spread the word. The war is for the lower ranked. Finally on the top is the high eldar and his council. Old marines picked from the top that strategize on which sea should the crusaders focus on and how. The elder council is unkown and perfer shadow work..
