The elites of the Whitebeard Pirates currently gathered were those who could be mustered onto the floating island.
Their numbers were not large, less than two hundred.
The remaining members were still in Whitebeard's territory.
Among these individuals, there was not a single Devil Fruit user.
If any Devil Fruit users had remained, they would have only benefited the World Government in the end.
Benedict would not allow them to stay there.
Therefore, they were either killed or placed under house arrest.
In this regard, Benedict preferred to kill them directly.
However, due to the current presence of Edward Newgate, he did not act.
This was not because Benedict feared Edward Newgate.
If he wished, Edward Newgate would also be a dead man.
Placing the Whitebeard Pirates under surveillance, with Yaso watching, Benedict left with the others.
An island was chosen as the base for building atomic bombs.
Benedict immediately spent one million Justice Points to exchange for the technical blueprints of an atomic bomb. Upon using them, a research base for atomic bombs appeared, complete with the necessary system engineers.
However, the engineers provided by the system were not enough.
Thus, Benedict, through reassignment orders, also mobilized scientists and engineers under the control of the Xuanwu Navy to join the project.
This was their learning process, and naturally, the more, the better.
While they researched the technology, Benedict's required lists were delivered separately to Monkey D. Dragon and Edward Newgate.
Monkey D. Dragon's side was easier to manage, while Edward Newgate relied entirely on his prestige, remotely commanding the pirates still in Whitebeard's territory to engage in mining, transportation, and other businesses.
Resources would be continuously transported.
They would be processed and handled, and finally transported to the atomic bomb construction base as needed.
Apart from the matters concerning the construction of atomic bombs, the ordinary awakening potions obtained from this operation also needed to be used.
Benedict also needed to carefully consider who to select.
Garp, Sengoku, Aokiji, Kizaru, Momonga, Gion, and generals and vice-admirals who were conscripted and possessed considerable potential and strength.
Benedict had the idea of giving them to Zhao Yun and the others, hoping to obtain greater power.
However, upon learning of their personal attributes, Benedict abandoned this idea.
This was because all the SS-class special forces summoned had possessed extraordinary physiques.
Therefore, ordinary awakening potions would be useless to them.
"Is this the awakening potion that can make us stronger?" Sengoku stared at the ordinary awakening potion, hesitant.
It was not that he doubted anything. After all, he had joined the Xuanwu Navy, and although he had heard rumors, he did not know if they were true.
Furthermore, Sengoku had also heard about gene potions that enhanced combat power.
They could indeed boost combat effectiveness.
But these things had severe side effects.
However, individuals like Kenshiro and Gintoki Sakata showed no signs of side effects.
"If you don't want it, you can return it to me. I'll find someone else."
Benedict looked at Sengoku, a smile on his face, and said.
Hearing this, Sengoku's face showed embarrassment, and he said, "Ah, forget it, forget it. I think it's quite good."
Garp shook the ordinary awakening potion, looked at it, and laughed, "Benedict, how many of these gene potions do you have?"
"Give me two more."
"My grandson is only a few months old. If I let him drink it, it should be fine, right?"
"Hahaha, if my grandson has the potential to surpass an Admiral from a young age, he will definitely surpass me when he grows up."
Benedict's cheek twitched slightly upon hearing Garp's words, and then he squinted and laughed, "I do have these potions, but are you sure your grandson won't explode and die if he drinks it?"
"If the grandson you were holding in your arms just now is gone like this, wouldn't you feel heartbroken?"
Upon hearing Benedict's words, Garp, who had been laughing heartily, instantly turned grim.
"Don't speak nonsense. No one's stopping you from being a mute."
Garp finished speaking and swallowed the ordinary awakening potion in one gulp.
Two months ago, Monkey D. Luffy was born.
Therefore, this had made Garp extremely happy.
However, due to the conflict with the Xuanwu Navy, Garp had only seen his grandson once.
Now that he had joined the Xuanwu Navy, Garp spent his free time doting on his grandson.
Regarding Ace's identity, although it was still being concealed, Garp had arranged for his daughter-in-law to live on the island where Ace was, living with a group of scholars.
Although Sengoku and Garp had joined the Xuanwu Navy, they only managed their original units, and not even all of them. They did not need to coordinate anything, so they were relatively more relaxed.
Sengoku, in particular, was even more relaxed.
This was because Bai Qi was acting as the Fleet Admiral, commanding the overall situation.
Seeing that Garp had unhesitatingly drunk the ordinary awakening potion, Sengoku and the others did not hesitate either and drank the potions one after another.
Soon, various energy fluctuations appeared on the island, all of them quite formidable.
At the same time, Saitama, Li Chungang, Kenshiro, Li Bai, Zhao Yun, and other SS-class powerhouses also appeared.
"Now, you have a chance for one-on-one sparring. Please cherish it."
Benedict looked at Garp and the others, made way, and said with a smile.
"Garp, let's have a one-on-one. Yujiro Hanma was the first to set his sights on Garp. Having reached SS-class, he was full of confidence.
Garp felt the power surging within him and knew that the potion was taking effect.
At this moment, Garp's various attributes all possessed SS-class potential, and now he needed to hone it to unleash this potential.
"Heh, you fellow, since you want to be beaten so badly, then taste my beloved iron fist."
His entire body was infused with Armament Haki. Garp used Soru and immediately lunged at Yujiro Hanma.
"Zhang Fei is here, who dares to fight me."
Zhang Fei's gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on Sengoku, and he shouted.
Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, Li Bai, Mulan, Yi, Jax, and others also scanned the people present. They had the command to train Sengoku and the others, and also the desire to find someone to spar with.
"I think it should be a free-for-all."
"This will be more interesting."
Mulan said with great interest, holding her twin blades and performing a flourish.
Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Jax, Yi, and others heard this, and their powerful fighting spirit instantly erupted.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Without any further words, they all launched their attacks simultaneously.
It was called a free-for-all, meaning there were no specific targets.
If an opportunity arose, one would strike.
And this would be very dangerous for Sengoku and the others.
At the same time, they would be plunged into hell.
For the next period, this vast island would be torn apart by their battles.
And Sengoku, Garp, and the others would suffer immensely.
