Faced with the simultaneous assault of four CP0 agents, Benedict remained remarkably calm.
While these CP0 agents were indeed strong, even surpassing special forces soldiers, they were still too weak in his eyes.
More importantly, the modus operandi of CP0 was never this verbose.
Therefore, these CP0 agents hidden among the great pirates had already become decadent.
Playing their roles meant they could no longer maintain the same level of self-discipline as those secretly trained as CP0.
Indeed, as the four confidently believed they could take down Benedict, they were horrified to discover that Benedict’s speed was even greater than theirs, and he was as proficient in the Six Powers of the Navy as those soldiers.
The Six Powers had always been skills mastered by the Navy. Why did these Xuanwu Navy members also possess them?
Could it be that the Xuanwu Navy was truly a secret creation of Marine Headquarters?
Regardless, they had received orders from the World Government. Therefore, whether this was a secret creation of Marine Headquarters or not, their current actions could not be abandoned halfway.
Thus, amidst their shock, the four continued their assault on Benedict.
Changing positions repeatedly, Benedict appeared behind one CP0 agent and struck suddenly.
A sharp karate chop landed precisely on the opponent's neck.
With a cracking sound, the cervical spine of the opponent’s neck instantly snapped.
CP0 down.
Dax and the others, witnessing their comrade so easily killed, felt their hearts tighten.
Benedict's strength had once again surpassed their expectations.
To prevent any further accidents, Dax immediately made a decision.
“I underestimated you.”
Dax drew his rapier, and in an instant, the sword’s shadow materialized, creating the illusion of countless flickering blades.
“But to kill you, I must break the rules.”
As Dax spoke, his aura also changed.
The aura of an A-class expert.
Furthermore, the rapier the opponent wielded seemed extraordinary.
Could it be one of the Twelve Quick Blades?
*Shing!*
As Benedict dodged the attacks from him and the other two, Dax launched a surprise attack.
Hundreds of sword shadows blurred the vision, making it impossible to discern the real from the fake.
With a sudden downward strike, Benedict’s mind jolted.
This sword was somewhat peculiar.
As he instantly dodged using Soru, a few strands of his hair fell to the ground.
Benedict was absolutely certain that he had dodged Dax’s descending sword, yet he had still been injured.
Dax, looking at the falling hair, swept his gaze over the other two and said, “Restrict his speed.”
Dax’s status was evidently not low. The other two quickly launched a barrage of attacks.
Dax then joined the assault.
Benedict glanced at them but paid them no mind.
Striking suddenly, a collision of fists sent one CP0 agent flying a hundred meters away.
Another CP0 agent tried to seize this opportunity for a sneak attack, but he hadn’t anticipated that Benedict’s speed at this moment would far exceed his imagination.
Benedict’s fist landed directly on the opponent's heart, causing it to instantly rupture under the immense pressure.
CP0 down again.
“You are dead.”
Just then, Dax’s voice sounded behind Benedict.
Simultaneously, Dax’s sword was at Benedict’s neck.
Dax had been searching for an opportunity, and his previous attacks were not at full strength.
Now, the chance had come, and he had seized it.
*Squelch!*
Having activated Tekkai, his neck, which should have been as hard as iron and impenetrable to gunfire, was now pierced.
“Hahahahaha!”
Seeing Benedict’s neck pierced by his sword, successfully killing the opponent, he burst into excited laughter.
Completing this mission would elevate his status within CP0.
Furthermore, he would become the highest-ranking CP0 official in the East Blue.
He might even gain the appreciation of his superior officers.
“You seem quite excited!”
Just then, Benedict’s voice, hoarse, sounded out, interrupting Dax’s laughter.
Dax stared at Benedict in horror, his eyes filled with disbelief.
“How are you not dead yet?”
No, why wasn’t blood flowing out when my sword pierced his neck?
And how was the opponent still able to speak?
Such a horrifying discovery was unprecedented.
“Dead?”
“You think too highly of yourself?”
Benedict reached out, grasped Dax’s rapier, and stepped back expressionlessly.
The rapier had torn through Benedict’s neck, but still, no blood flowed.
Even more horrifying for Dax was that Benedict’s wound was healing at a visible rate.
“How is this possible?”
Dax exclaimed again, feeling immense fear.
Unable to kill him.
What kind of ability was this?
A Devil Fruit ability?
Damn it, I must ascertain the opponent’s true strength.
Dax angrily pulled his sword back. This time, it easily sliced Benedict’s hand.
It was incredibly smooth, and also incredibly sharp.
It was as if the sword Benedict held in his hand was one transformed from flowing water.
“Sword Shadow Unrivaled.”
Dax launched an attack in anger.
In an instant, dozens of wounds, each tens of centimeters long, appeared on Benedict’s body.
Any other person would have undoubtedly died from such injuries.
However, lines of blood-red threads appeared on Benedict’s body, and then they healed.
“So you are a Devil Fruit user?”
“If I’m not mistaken, you must be a ‘Sword-Sword Fruit’ ability user.”
“But, what a pity!”
Benedict’s calm voice rang out, and Dax felt a chill run up his spine.
This Benedict was too bizarre; he was simply unkillable.
Without a second thought, he turned to flee.
However, in an instant, Benedict appeared before him, and with a whip kick, he was sent flying.
“Trying to leave? It’s too late.”
Benedict reappeared, placing a foot on Dax’s chest, and said, “Heh, a Devil Fruit user. You’re the first one I’ve killed so far.”
“I just wonder what benefits you can bring me?”
Dax felt Benedict’s killing intent and, upon hearing this, attempted to secure a chance for survival.
However, Benedict gave Dax no such opportunity.
Tremendous power erupted from his foot in an instant.
Dax’s heart, under the immense pressure, instantly exploded.
The rapier tightly gripped in Dax’s hand, now deprived of its power enhancement, transformed from an incredibly sharp sword into a very ordinary one, its brilliant glow extinguished.
Concurrently, an invisible energy also vanished from Dax’s body.
And a voice sounded in Benedict’s mind.
