Food Island.
After Benedict hosted Guan Yu and the others for a meal, they then relaxed in a hot spring.
Benedict was in a very good mood that day.
He had killed enough demons, obtained enough justice points, and even summoned ten SS-class powerhouses with an ordinary awakening potion.
With such huge gains, how could he not be excited?
"Marshal, an informant embedded in the Whitebeard Pirates has sent intelligence."
"The World Government, leading a demon squad of a hundred, has invaded Whitebeard Pirates' territory."
"Whitebeard was attacked by dozens of demons and was severely injured."
Upon receiving the news, Great Tengu Qingfeng immediately reported to Benedict.
Zhao Yun and the others quieted down upon hearing Great Tengu Qingfeng's words, their gazes fixed on Benedict.
Benedict was somewhat surprised by this.
"In terms of strength, the Whitebeard Pirates are above the Big Mom Pirates. However, the World Government sent three hundred demons to invade Whole Cake Island, but only sent a hundred demons to the Whitebeard Pirates."
"Is this considering Charlotte Linlin highly and Whitebeard lightly?"
"The key point is that Whitebeard was injured?"
Benedict couldn't understand.
What kind of logic did the World Government have?
"Perhaps there is a reason we are unaware of."
"For instance, there weren't that many demons available, and after dispatching them to the Big Mom Pirates, fewer were allocated to the Whitebeard Pirates."
"Or perhaps, the Big Mom Pirates have more Devil Fruit users, thus more demons were dispatched."
"But regardless, even if the Whitebeard Pirates managed to withstand a hundred demons, they would have suffered heavy losses," Great Tengu Qingfeng said from the side.
Benedict nodded in agreement.
The Big Mom Pirates indeed had many Devil Fruit users.
But in reality, the Whitebeard Pirates were not lacking either.
However, most of those Devil Fruit users were subordinates of the Whitebeard Pirates, and their strength was not particularly strong.
In the Whitebeard's lineup, apart from the captains, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Navy could handle the rest.
"Whitebeard is severely injured?"
"Tsk tsk, Edward Newgate's strength is indeed the undisputed number one among pirates."
"Fighting dozens of demons alone, what power. It's a pity I didn't witness it firsthand."
Benedict couldn't help but admire Whitebeard's strength, especially his Gura Gura no Mi.
Whether in offense or defense, it possessed extremely high capabilities.
"Marshal, actually, things happened rather unusually. Otherwise, the Whitebeard Pirates should have been annihilated," Great Tengu Qingfeng said with a smile.
Benedict was curious and asked, "Oh, how was it unusual?"
"According to the situation at the time, the demons had the advantage."
"But, for some unknown reason, they suddenly left."
"This gave the Whitebeard Pirates a chance to breathe."
Benedict was also somewhat surprised.
Demons that had the advantage suddenly left. What was the World Government thinking?
"Who led that demon army?" Benedict asked curiously.
"Sea Monkey of CP0!" Great Tengu Qingfeng replied.
Benedict pondered for a moment and understood.
Then, he chuckled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, they were afraid that we would go to support Whitebeard and then wipe them out."
Great Tengu Qingfeng, Kenjro, and the others were all intelligent individuals and understood Benedict's special abilities.
Therefore, they naturally understood what Sea Monkey and the others were afraid of.
"It seems their intelligence is quite well-informed," Kenjro suddenly said.
The time from destroying Whole Cake Island to reinforcing Food Island was very short.
From Food Island to the Whitebeard Pirates' stronghold, at Benedict's speed, it wouldn't take long.
And with their current lineup, if they went to support the Whitebeard Pirates, the remaining demons would not be enough for them to handle.
But then again, did Benedict still have contact with the Whitebeard Pirates?
If not, how could the Marshal move so quickly?
"Marshal, Whitebeard's Devil Fruit ability is terrifying."
"If Whitebeard's fruit ability were obtained by the World Government, and they summoned a demon with the tremor ability, it would be extremely dangerous," Kenjro said solemnly.
Every awakened demon possessed immense power, especially their Devil Fruit abilities, which were all awakened.
Whitebeard had already utilized the power of the Gura Gura no Mi to a very high degree, but it was definitely inferior to that of a demon.
"It seems it is very necessary to go to Whitebeard's place."
"Coincidentally, it's time for me to meet this fellow."
Benedict had not met Whitebeard yet.
And when the Xuanwu Navy was newly established, and encountered the Golden Lion Pirates and attacks from the World Government, the Whitebeard Pirates had intervened against the Beasts Pirates.
In that regard, they were somewhat indebted to the Whitebeard Pirates.
However, the Whitebeard Pirates were pirates after all.
This time, going there would be more than just a casual reunion.
"Burr burr burr!"
Just then, Benedict's Den Den Mushi rang.
Benedict looked at the Den Den Mushi and, after thinking for a moment, recalled that it was Monkey D. Dragon's Den Den Mushi.
He raised his hand and pulled the Den Den Mushi over.
"Hello," Benedict answered after connecting.
"Marshal Benedict, I apologize for disturbing you," Monkey D. Dragon's voice came from the Den Den Mushi.
"Hehehe, you are indeed disturbing my enjoyment," Benedict said, his lips curling slightly.
"Uh." Monkey D. Dragon was momentarily unsure how to respond to Benedict.
"I need your help with something," Monkey D. Dragon said seriously after taking a deep breath.
Benedict was slightly surprised but still smiled and said, "Oh, you actually have something to ask of me."
"Let's hear it. What can I help you with?"
"If it's simple, I can help you."
"If it's troublesome, forget it."
Monkey D. Dragon fell silent again.
He suddenly felt that Benedict was difficult to deal with.
"Does Marshal Benedict have any interest in visiting Gold Sand Island?"
Gold Sand Island?
Wasn't this the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates?
"Are you here for Whitebeard's matter?"
"Tsk tsk, if I go, Whitebeard's life will be forfeit."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Dragon understood Benedict's identity, but this was something he would definitely intervene in.
After all, the World Government they faced was too powerful.
"Marshal Benedict, some things can be discussed properly."
"I don't think you would refuse, would you?"
"I refuse," Benedict's voice rang out.
Firm and decisive.
Dragon's face turned somewhat dark.
This refusal was a bit excessive.
