"He actually attacked such a cute little girl?"
Bagi swayed, escaping the momentary illusion, and felt the activation of the Uta Uta no Mi's ability, the soul-shattering sound, and felt shocked.
"Those who achieve great things are not bound by trivialities."
"If you don't want the World Government to use that Devil Fruit ability, then it must be in your own hands."
"If you were to possess an ability like Benedict's, would you still hesitate to act?"
Rocks was also somewhat shaken by the ability of the Uta Uta no Mi user.
Because, just now, Bagi was attracted by the sound and entered an illusion.
Even with Bagi's current strength, he couldn't escape. How powerful was this?
Just now, if his second personality hadn't remained clear-headed, Bagi might have been indulging in debauchery in that illusion.
"That's for sure."
"Any power that can be used by me, what is a mere child?"
Bagi said without thinking.
Bagi had thought about possessing an ability like Benedict's.
He had even thought that once he possessed such an ability, he would hunt Devil Fruit users worldwide and build a powerful pirate crew composed entirely of Devil Fruit users.
"What a pity, with this outfit, I can't be so unrestrained."
A cruel amusement and excitement flickered in Bagi's eyes.
There was also a strange quirk in his words.
It seemed somewhat morbid.
Rocks noticed the change in Bagi's demeanor and remained silent, but he was very happy in his heart.
Just like this, continue to work in this direction.
On the other side.
Kamikaze stood at the office door, unsure whether to go in.
If he went in and Uta was already dead, he would feel rather upset.
But if he didn't go in, there was a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't overcome.
However, at this moment, two powerful forces were clashing within the office.
This also made Kamikaze hesitant to enter rashly.
Therefore, he could only continue to stand there.
Besides him, Sengoku, Garp, Kenjirou, Enel, and others had also arrived.
They were all attracted by these two forces.
Kenjirou looked at the office with a strange expression, feeling very puzzled.
He knew that Benedict personally investigated Devil Fruit users and was also a process of stripping Devil Fruit abilities.
Therefore, the Genbu Navy had quite a few Devil Fruit users.
However, for a period of time, the abilities of the Devil Fruit users who were killed did not appear in the Genbu Navy, nor did they appear in the sea.
It seemed as if these Devil Fruits would never appear.
After all, besides those killed by Benedict, when a Devil Fruit user was killed, the fruit would appear in the sea.
However, this phenomenon was occurring for the first time.
Inside the office.
Benedict looked at Uta, whose face was contorted, continuously launching sonic attacks, and the system prompts kept ringing, frowning tightly.
At the same time, he also had to release his aura to contend with this power.
And the items in the office began to crack under the pressure of the two forces.
Sengoku and the others outside, seeing the cracked walls and floor, their expressions changed slightly. Seeing the soldiers who had fallen into illusions, he immediately said, "First, get these people out of here quickly."
Kenjirou and the others nodded and acted accordingly.
"Ding! Affected by mysterious power interference, Devil Fruit stripping in progress..."
"Ding! Affected by mysterious power interference, Devil Fruit stripping in progress..."
"Ding! Affected by mysterious power interference, Devil Fruit stripping in progress..."
...
The scene of smoothly stripping Devil Fruits as imagined did not happen.
Instead, a powerful force was resisting the system's power.
This was the first time Benedict had encountered such a situation since obtaining the system.
Even the system couldn't confidently and easily seize it.
...
Deep within Mary Geoise, behind a door, in a world like a secret realm.
A person lying under a big tree, basking in the sun, enjoying the breeze, and sensing the surrounding birdsong and fragrant flowers, suddenly opened their eyes.
Their eyes were deep, as blue as the sea.
And at this moment, these eyes flickered with destructive lightning.
As a result, this world, from the originally pleasant weather, bright sunshine, instantly turned into thunder and lightning, strong winds, and dense dark clouds.
The man floated up, standing in the void, looking in a certain direction.
Then, seeing the man extend his hand, he tore open space and walked into it.
That was another world, a world covered in blood and filled with the smell of gore.
In the center of this world, there was a towering tree that reached into the clouds.
The leaves and trunk of the tree were red, and streams of light like blood vessels crawled all over the tree, making the leaves, which were more than a meter long, vibrant and tempting.
Surrounding the tree, besides a piece of red land, was the vast bloody sea, and on the land, dark red statues.
These statues were numerous, in different poses, encircling the tree, and their lower halves were encased by the outstretched roots.
However, most of these statues were now shattered.
With the man's appearance, the originally quiet tree began to shake.
A powerful aura also surged towards the man.
Bloody and domineering.
The man paid it no mind, but quietly looked at the tree, his gaze sweeping over the statues, and finally landing on one.
This statue was closest to the tree, one of several.
The statue emitted a red light, and the roots wrapping around it were like flowing blood vessels, making it look not like a statue, but a beating heart.
However, this heart now had cracks.
"Imu, someone is stealing my power."
A voice sounded in the man's mind, deep and enraged.
This man was the god-like existence, Lord Imu, revered and respected by the Five Elders.
Imu looked at the tree with some surprise and said faintly, "I know, but this is the first time you've reacted so strongly."
When he learned that Benedict could plunder Devil Fruit abilities for his own use, Imu had already guessed something and had visited this world many times to observe.
However, in the past, this World Tree of Devil Fruits had not made any moves.
It seemed indifferent.
"I don't care about other things, but this time it's too much."
The tree spirit of the World Tree of Devil Fruits spoke again.
"Who is this one?" the tree spirit asked, and Imu also felt curious, so he inquired.
"It is the power of music, my voice, my world."
"Find him and stop him."
The tree spirit's voice was heavy, but it sounded tired, as if speaking these words consumed a great deal of its power.
A beam of light shot out and flew towards Imu.
Imu raised his hand and caught it. It was a red glass ball.
And after Imu caught it, the red ball became transparent, and at the same time, an image entered Imu's sight.
A moment later, Imu's eyes flashed with light, and he said, "It's him."
