The miraculous effects of Senzu beans were well known to both Vanmar Yujiro and Enel.
However, whether they could cure a virus was uncertain.
Soon.
Before Long's astonished eyes, as the Senzu bean entered Sakata Gintoki's mouth, in almost an instant, Sakata Gintoki's injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even Sakata Gintoki's burst eyeballs grew back.
Sakata Gintoki, without any scars, perfectly intact, appeared before him.
However, Sakata Gintoki still did not wake up.
Seeing this, Enel was somewhat incredulous.
"Why isn't he awake yet?"
"All his injuries have recovered, it has clearly worked."
Enel muttered to himself, unwilling to accept this fact.
After his shock, Long quickly reacted and said gravely, "In this state, if it can last long enough, I have a friend who might be able to cure him."
"Where?" Enel exclaimed excitedly upon hearing this.
Given the chance to save Sakata Gintoki, Enel did not want to miss it.
With the speed of his Goro Goro no Mi's lightning, he would go to any distance with all his might to deliver Sakata Gintoki to someone who could treat him.
"Listen to me, kid!" Long said sternly, looking at the agitated Enel, "I cannot guarantee whether he will be cured, because the success rate is very low, as low as 1%-2% at most, and if it succeeds, it will consume ten years of his life."
Upon hearing Long's words, Enel was stunned.
With such a low success rate, could he still be saved?
"Contact the Marshal, perhaps the Marshal has a way," Vanmar Yujiro said at this moment.
With such a low success rate, there was no need to take the risk.
Moreover, the situation here needed to be reported to Benedict.
Having said that, Vanmar Yujiro also took out his Den Den Mushi and contacted Benedict.
At this time, Benedict was on an island in the New World.
Jing Ke, Dao Zhi, and Yasuo had also been waiting here for a long time.
This was one of the World Government's bases for cyborg experiments, and also the largest one.
Dao Zhi had infiltrated it first and completed the collection of evidence, including stealing data and recording video conversations.
With the ability of his Suke Suke no Mi and his peerless lightness skill, no one discovered his presence.
In addition to this island's base, Dao Zhi and Jing Ke, working in perfect coordination, had also collected sufficient evidence at other experimental bases.
The reason they could find these places was due to the intelligence system of the Food Island playing a huge role.
By integrating all resources, analyzing them, and then surveying and collecting information, they ultimately confirmed the existence of the experimental bases.
Benedict was very satisfied with the achievements made in such a short period.
Since the World Government had dispatched a large force to attack the Xuanwu Navy, Benedict naturally dared to find their experimental bases and destroy them one by one.
After the war in the North Sea ended, Benedict used his Hiraishin no Jutsu to rendezvous with Dao Zhi and the others, completely destroying these places.
And just as Benedict was preparing to act and destroy this base, the Den Den Mushi rang.
After Benedict answered, he frowned as he listened to Vanmar Yujiro explain the situation.
Was the poisoning so deep?
Benedict searched the shop for an antidote.
Antidotes were available, costing only five thousand Justice Points to purchase a broad-spectrum antidote.
Benedict did not hesitate; five thousand Justice Points was nothing compared to a peak Admiral who had awakened his Devil Fruit powers.
"I need to leave for a while, I'll leave this to you all."
Benedict said sternly to Dao Zhi and the other two.
Dao Zhi and the other two understood the gravity of the situation.
Furthermore, with the three Admirals acting together, taking down the island's base would be easy.
After speaking, Benedict directly used Hiraishin no Jutsu, leaping between different islands.
From the moment Vanmar Yujiro hung up the phone to Benedict's appearance, only a few minutes had passed.
Benedict's sudden appearance made Long instantly vigilant.
Although he had known about Benedict's incredible mobility ability before, witnessing it firsthand was another matter.
"Marshal, Brother Ginshi he..." Enel exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Benedict appear.
Benedict glanced at the arriving Long, nodded, then went to Sakata Gintoki's side, poured the antidote he had redeemed into his mouth, and said, "It's fine, he won't die."
"He's just had a nap."
Enel understood that Benedict was comforting him, but he didn't say anything. Looking at the unconscious Sakata Gintoki, his eyes held only anticipation.
On Skypiea, Enel was often met with cold shoulders and isolation.
Therefore, Enel's personality was cold.
However, since following Sakata Gintoki, his coldness was always melted in front of Sakata Gintoki. Over time, he developed a tacit understanding with Sakata Gintoki and grew fond of Sakata Gintoki's occasional perverted expressions and his cold, stinging words.
Although Sakata Gintoki could sometimes be infuriating and constantly tested his patience, this was the feeling of being loved and cared for.
Enel did not want Sakata Gintoki to be in trouble, which was why he was furious when he discovered Sakata Gintoki had been ambushed.
As for whether the attack at that time could have killed Sakata Gintoki, Enel's thinking was very simple: as long as there was still a breath left, and as long as Sakata Gintoki ate the Senzu bean, he would be fully revived.
This was also why Enel dared to fight so fiercely at the time.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Sakata Gintoki, who had been unconscious, quickly opened his eyes after drinking the antidote and coughed out black, poisonous blood.
"Hoo!"
"Almost done for."
After coughing, Sakata Gintoki felt much more comfortable and, under Long's gaze, stood up with a grin, stretching his limbs.
Seeing that Sakata Gintoki was fine and grinning again, Enel, in contrast to his previous pitiful appearance, regained some of his cold and arrogant demeanor.
Benedict saw Enel's behavior and smiled.
Even though this guy had become much stronger and was willing to remain in the Xuanwu Navy, his tsundere nature hadn't changed.
However, his concern for Sakata Gintoki was genuine.
It was indeed the right decision to have him follow Sakata Gintoki.
With Sakata Gintoki's matter resolved, Benedict then turned his attention to the battlefield.
There were considerable casualties, and the fighting had stopped.
Both sides had retreated and were rapidly withdrawing.
Garp had already sensed Benedict's aura and knew that with Benedict present, continuing the battle would only lead to their utter defeat.
As for the massive casualties inflicted by Sakata Gintoki on the CP members dispatched by the World Government, Garp couldn't care less.
As long as his own soldiers did not suffer heavy casualties, everything was negotiable.
