Benedict and a group of experts appeared.
Green Bull and Sea Monkey knew very well that even three hundred more demons wouldn't be enough for Benedict and his crew to kill.
Li Bai and the others fought fiercely, turning the world upside down, but it wasn't easy to annihilate hundreds of S+ class demons.
So, Benedict soon joined the battlefield.
After all, for him, demons killed with his own hands were more valuable.
It wasn't that Benedict wouldn't gain any Justice Points from those killed by Li Bai and the others.
After all, Benedict would gain a lot of Justice Points for every pirate crew his subordinates eliminated.
But that was just Justice Points, not ordinary awakening potions.
Benedict was very fast and very strong.
Within two rounds at most, these artificial demons would be dead.
This was the combat power of an SSS-class expert.
The battle did not last long, and it was over.
Benedict obtained sixty-three drops of ordinary awakening potions, equivalent to four portions of ordinary awakening potions.
As the battle ended, the Whitebeard Pirates did not rejoice; on the contrary, they became even more tense.
Because the combat power displayed by Benedict and the others was more terrifying than that of the demons.
The demons were all killed by Benedict and the others. How could they resist?
For a time, all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates gathered behind Edward Newgate.
Even though they were terrified, even though they knew they couldn't win, they still stood firmly behind Edward Newgate at this moment.
Edward Newgate held his great sword, looking at Benedict with a solemn expression.
Monkey D. Dragon walked over with Bartholomew Kuma, positioning themselves between the two sides.
Monkey D. Dragon understood the opposition between pirates and the marines.
However, Benedict's terrifying power made him uncertain about this plan.
But no matter what, he had invited Benedict.
His plan had to proceed.
"Cough, cough!"
"Since everyone is here, some things should be said."
Monkey D. Dragon spoke first, breaking the deadlock.
Benedict looked at Monkey D. Dragon and smiled faintly, "Dragon, I trust your character, which is why I came at your request."
"Just say what you have to say."
"If there's nothing else, you can leave now."
Hearing Benedict's words, Monkey D. Dragon's expression slightly darkened, and Marco's expression also changed.
Monkey D. Dragon sighed inwardly, realizing that things would not go as smoothly as expected.
"Marco, have the others leave," Monkey D. Dragon said to Marco.
Marco heard this and looked at the people beside him. After a slight hesitation, he looked at Whitebeard.
Facing Benedict, not only he but also the people around him were unable to resist.
Therefore, staying here would be of no use.
"Let them leave," Edward Newgate said first.
Marco nodded, then said sternly to the people beside him, "Everyone, for 'Dad,' you should all disperse for now."
Some people wanted to object and insisted on staying.
But Marco refused and forcibly ordered everyone to disperse immediately.
Marco's status in the Whitebeard Pirates was second only to Whitebeard, and he held considerable prestige.
Moreover, this was Edward Newgate's personal request.
Therefore, even if they were unwilling, they could only retreat far away.
"Marshal Benedict, how about coming closer for a chat?" Monkey D. Dragon then said to Benedict.
Benedict was not afraid of any conspiracy or disadvantage at the scene and approached without hesitation.
Benedict flew closer and examined Edward Newgate. He was as he remembered from his previous life, but due to his height, he appeared even taller and stronger.
"Did you eat a Senzu bean, Captain Edward Newgate?"
After just a few glances, Benedict immediately realized that Edward Newgate had no injuries on him at all.
And the only one who could achieve this, in Benedict's opinion, was the Senzu bean.
Speaking of which, Benedict looked at Monkey D. Dragon.
Someone by his side wouldn't give a Senzu bean to Whitebeard.
So it had to be Monkey D. Dragon, who had asked for the Senzu bean from him.
Seeing Benedict's gaze, Monkey D. Dragon generously admitted with a smile, "You guessed correctly, he ate a Senzu bean, and I gave it to him."
"I gave it to that kid Marco, otherwise, I was afraid Captain Edward Newgate wouldn't readily accept it."
"However, I only did this to avoid losing a powerful fighting force against the World Government."
Hearing this, Edward Newgate looked at Monkey D. Dragon, then at Marco, and finally at Benedict.
He hadn't expected such a twist.
Of course, after eating the Senzu bean and knowing its effects, Edward Newgate also realized that this was something rumored to be mastered by the Xuanwu Navy, a special item that could rapidly heal injuries and restore peak strength.
"How does it feel?"
"I have many here, and I can give you another one, then grant you a dignified death."
Benedict said, staring at Edward Newgate.
Edward Newgate chuckled heartily upon hearing this.
He slammed his great sword down on the ground, and a powerful pressure instantly spread out.
"Eating one Senzu bean is enough."
"If you want to fight, then I will fight you."
Edward Newgate's voice was very loud.
The distant members of the Whitebeard Pirates became even more excited upon hearing Edward Newgate's words and wanted to join the fray.
Marco was not to be outdone, ready to make a move at any time.
Monkey D. Dragon's face twitched slightly upon hearing Edward Newgate's words, and he sighed inwardly.
"Marshal Benedict, I invited you here not to kill Captain Edward Newgate." Although it would displease Benedict, Monkey D. Dragon knew he had to speak.
"I invited you here this time hoping that our three parties can join forces to destroy a place."
"And that place is the future nation of the World Government."
"This is a concentrated and highly civilized research base of the World Government."
"It is also the place where artificial demons were created."
"According to the intelligence I have been investigating, there is a regular army of one hundred thousand, composed of modified humans and artificial demons, and even more powerful giant legions."
"I don't doubt the strength of Marshal Benedict and the other Admirals."
"But to destroy that place, without a sufficiently vast elite force, you must have a force with at least Admiral-level high-tier combatants."
Monkey D. Dragon understood that to make both sides put aside their grievances and opposition, he had to provide a reason for them to join forces.
And that Future Nation, in Monkey D. Dragon's opinion, was the best reason.
