Continuing to persist in this situation is no longer meaningful.
Behind Ryokugyu stood the World Government, and along with it, the will bestowed by the Five Elders.
Therefore, Ryokugyu's actions were equivalent to an order from the Five Elders.
Facing the Navy's current catastrophic defeat, they were now of no further utility.
Perhaps, the last vestige of their usefulness was to release the devils within the bodies of Devil Fruit users and have them become the energy for releasing these devils.
"Hehehe."
Porusalino let out a chuckle as he looked at the scene before him.
Yet, this chuckle carried a chilling sensation.
Sengoku shot Porusalino a glance, expressing his displeasure.
This fellow had certainly made quite the start.
"What a shame, so many Devil Fruit users have been killed."
Benedict's gaze swept across, noticing that several more Devil Fruit users had been slain and pulled underground.
Similarly, his vision also caught sight of numerous desiccated corpses.
"Attack together."
Sengoku and Garp exchanged glances and charged at Ryokugyu simultaneously.
Seeing Sengoku and Garp attack in tandem, Kaiju dared not engage directly and retreated to the side.
"Super Shockwave!"
The powerful shockwave shattered the approaching thick vines.
Seizing this opportunity, Garp and Sengoku rapidly closed the distance.
Their mastery of the Rokushiki techniques had reached an exceptionally high level.
Now at the peak of their physical condition, they were filled with righteous anger towards the backstabbing Ryokugyu.
*Bang!*
Garp's fist, radiating terrifying power, landed on Ryokugyu, who had transformed into a colossal tree.
With a single blow, the entire tree shuddered.
However, the expected deep crater did not materialize.
Although it had caved in considerably, it was only a meter deep, which was insignificant compared to the hundred-meter diameter of the giant tree.
Sengoku, now in his Devil Fruit form, delivered another punch to the spot where Garp had struck.
The tree trembled again, and again, it caved in further.
"Hahaha."
"Are you tickling me?"
"You are not qualified to kill me."
Having absorbed the energy of over a thousand individuals, Ryokugyu possessed immense power.
Mere destruction could be quickly recovered from and was of no consequence to him.
"SS-rank combat power?"
Benedict, through the wartime communicator, was surprised to find Ryokugyu's combat power had reached SS-rank.
Was this Ryokugyu in his full power?
However, with Sengoku and Garp fighting together, Ryokugyu was being overconfident.
With the two of them in close quarters, it would be difficult for Ryokugyu to defeat them given their speed and strength.
Instead, Sengoku and Garp were inflicting significant damage upon him.
Benedict ignored their battle and shifted his gaze to Rushan and Kaiju.
These two had become much more cautious after his appearance.
Rushan, in particular, would immediately conceal himself if he sensed anything amiss.
Multiple Shadow Clones.
Hundreds, even thousands, of Benedicts appeared on the battlefield, launching attacks against the CP organization and the artificial Devil Fruit users.
Rushan, hidden in the void, watched Benedict, who was clearly observing from the air, and fell silent.
Could this Benedict have been waiting for me all along?
This is truly troublesome.
However, Rushan was unaware that.
At this moment, four figures stood atop the wall, also observing the ongoing battle.
These three were Daozhi, Shouhe, and Li Chungang, along with Saitama.
"The Pika Pika no Mi user that the Marshal wants to kill is in this direction," Shouhe pointed towards a corner of the distant ruins, "on that stone pillar with the sword stuck in it."
Li Chungang and Saitama glanced at each other and said, "Let's attack together."
At the same time, Benedict also made his move.
Rushan felt a prickle of unease as Benedict's aura suddenly erupted.
Could he have discovered me?
Impossible.
Apart from that girl, no one has ever been able to detect my presence.
If he can't find me, then he must be attacking Ryokugyu.
After all, Ryokugyu's current power, after diluting so much energy from others, is truly terrifying.
Thinking this, Rushan felt considerably more relaxed.
Benedict's released energy aura was indeed terrifying, forcing Ryokugyu to remain constantly on guard.
Benedict made his move.
Ryokugyu immediately abandoned his engagement with Sengoku and Garp, forming a thick net of vines to block Benedict.
However, what perplexed Ryokugyu was.
The terrifying power of Benedict's punch was not directed towards him.
Rushan watched the direction of Benedict's punch and was utterly bewildered.
By the time he reacted, Rushan realized he could no longer escape.
Besides Benedict in front of him, there were also terrifying forces closing in from behind and the sides.
Saitama's Serious Punch.
Li Chungang's all-out attack.
Benedict's terrifying punch.
The collision of these three forces left Rushan with nowhere to hide.
*Boom!*
Space shuddered.
A figure fell out of the void.
This person was Rushan.
Rushan, who had fallen to the ground, spat out blood continuously, and his body bore numerous wounds.
These were severe injuries caused by the compression of immense power.
"You are under arrest."
"Rushan, user of the Door-Door Fruit."
Benedict approached Rushan, extending his hand to seize him.
*Thud!*
A thick vine pierced directly through Rushan's body.
Anger flashed in Benedict's eyes as he dropped a Senzu Bean into Rushan's mouth.
Rushan's injuries began to heal rapidly.
Ryokugyu, meanwhile, was furiously draining Rushan's energy.
However, just as Rushan thought he was saved, Benedict's fist suddenly descended again.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for defeating a Devil Fruit user and obtaining the Door-Door Fruit. Does the host wish to use the Devil Fruit to summon a special soldier?"
"No!"
Benedict needed to carefully consider whether to summon the Door-Door Fruit or process it into juice.
If processed into juice, it should yield one drop of Five-Color Awakening Potion.
"Competing with me for Devil Fruit users?"
"Is it to summon devils?"
"I will not let you have your way."
Benedict's mood was quite good after defeating Rushan.
Without Rushan's fruit abilities, it would not be so easy for others to escape.
Ryokugyu was displeased by Benedict's words.
However, Ch Cai's voice sounded in his mind, and he became excited again.
"Benedict, there are so many Devil Fruit users, you cannot kill them all."
"Devils will descend upon this world."
"Your Xuanwu Navy is bound to perish."
"Now, you shall properly endure the wrath of the devils."
"Hahahahaha!"
