The role played by Green Bull was quite apparent.
Benedict saw it all clearly.
He also knew that letting Green Bull go at that time was not a decisive move.
However, if enough demons could be killed, more capable subordinates with god-like physiques could be created.
Even without subordinates with god-like physiques, having a sufficient number of those with extraordinary physiques would be excellent.
Those with extraordinary physiques were already capable of resisting demons; at least in one-on-one combat, there would generally be no problem.
“Green Bull, damn him.”
“But how do we kill him? It’s not as simple as rushing in and attacking.”
“Green Bull’s displayed value will certainly lead to him being heavily protected.”
“The demons we will face will not be just a few.”
“On this point, I believe everyone present understands.”
Benedict’s gaze swept over everyone beside him. After a moment of silence, seeing that no one else spoke, he slowly began to speak.
Sengoku and the others naturally understood this.
However, with powerful forces like Benedict, Daikitenkōfū, Saitama, Kenshiro, and Li Chungang, who were not afraid of demons, Sengoku hoped to directly attack Green Bull like a sharp blade.
Not only would this avenge Vice Admiral Tsuru, but it would also stop Green Bull from summoning demons.
“The World Government has always concealed its power.”
“Technological power that surpasses the current era.”
“Hidden in places we don't know.”
“Now, with your departure, there is no longer a sharp blade.”
“Therefore, what we will face next is high-end technological power.”
Speaking of this, Benedict looked at Dragon and Garp, paused for a moment, and then slowly spoke as everyone’s attention focused on him, “For example, cyborgs, artificial Devil Fruit users, and even artificial demons.”
Except for Garp and Dragon, everyone else, including Sengoku and Bai Qi, saw their pupils change slightly.
“Fleet Admiral, are you joking?”
“The artificial demons you speak of, are they the demons we encountered?”
Sengoku couldn't help but ask.
Benedict nodded, then shook his head, looking at Garp and smiling, “Uncle Garp, aren't you going to say anything?”
Garp heard Benedict and couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, mumbling incoherently. However, it was clear he was slightly displeased with Benedict's directness.
Sengoku, hearing Benedict's words, looked at Garp with some confusion and bewilderment, saying, “This…”
Garp glanced at his old partner, sighed, and said, “Originally, I wanted to let this kid Benedict speak about this matter, but I didn’t expect him to not follow the usual script.”
“There’s no helping it. Roger made some arrangements before surrendering, entrusting some power to you, which led you to know quite a lot,” Benedict said bluntly, showing no regard for Garp's feelings.
Sengoku was not foolish. With this clue, his active mind quickly grasped the meaning of Benedict's words.
As a result, Sengoku’s gaze towards Garp became even more filled with shock.
Sengoku was naturally aware of Garp's contact with Roger.
However, he absolutely never imagined that, given Garp's personality and sense of justice, he would have some unspoken dealings with Roger.
“Fine, since that's the case, then I'll say it too.”
Garp rubbed his head and then said helplessly.
“Back then, in Impel Down, I met Roger.”
“During that exchange, we discussed many things, including some about Roger’s journey to the final island. Because of this, Roger made his own plans, and I was part of his plan. For this, Roger also told me about some of his disbanded members who were hidden and had joined the World Government as informants, along with their identities.”
“And that person is Jabba.”
“I have maintained secret contact with Jabba, and through him, I have learned many secrets the World Government does not want known, including the news of Z’s modification.”
“Furthermore, the experiment that led to Z’s modification was an experiment on artificial demons.”
“Artificial Devil Fruits are a very high-end technological power.”
“According to the information obtained, the Devil Fruits we recognize are themselves artificial Devil Fruits.”
“It’s just that they were created through more advanced means.”
Garp recalled the conversation with Roger back then, as well as the information he had learned through his secret contact with Jabba.
At this moment, Garp’s words, even to Benedict, who already knew some of it, were still shocking.
After all, as the truth drew nearer, even with deviations, it made people want to investigate the secrets even more, only to be further astonished by these secrets.
“Garp, if what you say is true, then what about the existence of demons?”
“Artificial Devil Fruits are fruits.”
“But those demons are colossal monsters.”
“How are these two connected?”
Sengoku took a deep breath and posed his doubts.
There was no other way; the information Garp provided seemed too insane to him.
If all of this were true, and demons were created.
Then what kind of demon army was the World Government truly in possession of?
If it were an army of thousands of demons, such terrifying combat power and speed, even with the strength of Benedict and the others, and even if they could snipe all the Shichibukai, it wouldn't be enough to fight them.
“When Devil Fruits were first created, their purpose was for industrial development, as accelerators for technological civilization.”
“The initial state of Devil Fruits was not a special form of fruit, but demons.”
“Demons are products of high-tech civilization, possessing different elemental abilities.”
“However, demons possess unique life and consciousness. To a ruler, demons that cannot obey orders are worthless.”
“Thus, through high-tech means, the power of demons was extracted and existed in an energy form, dwelling within fruits.”
“The Devil Fruit Tree, a special tree with wisdom and immense vitality, also became a mystical tree that seals and controls demons.”
“This is their relationship.”
“Liberating demons is one way to create a demon army.”
“Artificial Devil Fruits are a prerequisite for artificial demons.”
“If I am not mistaken, artificial Devil Fruit users are not just a source of power or sustenance; they are also sacrifices in the creation of demons through a process of survival of the fittest.”
Benedict spoke.
While Garp might not have been clear on many details, the information Benedict had gathered was more comprehensive and abundant.
This was because their sources included not only the Kozuki clan and the Poneglyphs but also Oden Kozuki and Silvers Rayleigh.
By consolidating this information and referencing legends, many things could lead to an answer close to the truth.
