What is SWORD actually? One Piece?
One Piece 1080 sheds light on what this unique group of Marines actually is.
Here’s the explanation!
1. Explanation of what SWORD is
Prince Grus and the members of SWORD. (Doc. Shueisha/One Piece)Kuzan explains what SWORD is One Piece in chapter 1080.
SWORD soldiers like Koby are members of the Navy… who at the same time aren’t members of the Navy.
The SWORD members have already let go Marine Code they.
SWORD are soldiers who have actually handed in their resignation letters. This uniqueness allows them to fight without having to wait for orders from their superiors.
They can even face Yonko without permission.
SWORDs are also capable of ignoring various orders. In short, SWORDs are a guerrilla force that can move freely.
However, the Navy is not responsible for their actions. The Navy can also dispose of SWORD members at any time.
2. SWORD members revealed

It was later discovered that a figure like Helmeppo was also part of SWORD.
Other known SWORD members after that were Prince Grus, Hibari, and Kujaku.
3. Currently most of the known SWORD members are in Hachinosu
Hachinosu Island/Fullalead in One Piece. (Doc. Toei Animation/One Piece)In One Piece 1080, most of the SWORD members we know are in Hachinosu.
Koby was held there by Blackbeard’s group. Then Prince Grus, Hibari, Kujaku, and Helmeppo came to the island to save Koby.
The SWORD member who was not present in Hachinosu was X Drake, who the other SWORD members have not been able to contact.
