On the luxurious cruise ship.
Gelluza did not immediately set sail.
Instead, after returning to his room, he contacted Noxus Sheng at the first opportunity.
About ten minutes later, Gelluza came out of his room and disembarked with heavy steps.
"Marshal Bennidict," Gelluza approached Bennidict, his face beaming.
"Is there anything else?" Bennidict asked indifferently, without turning his head.
Gelluza respectfully explained, "The three conditions proposed by Marshal Bennidict have been conveyed to Lord Noxus Sheng."
"Lord Noxus Sheng's intention is that the Giant Fruit was lost many years ago, and by the time its whereabouts were known, it had already been eaten by the Giant Tribe's San Juan Vilk."
"Currently, after being pursued, San Juan Vilk is hiding in the Land of Extreme Evil."
"If Bennidict is willing to act personally, we can provide the location."
"In addition, regarding the Gum-Gum Fruit, Lord Noxus Sheng means that if our young master can find it, no one else can."
Bennidict chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Oh, your words are very interesting."
"Is Shanks special in any way?"
"For a mere Gum-Gum Fruit, it requires Shanks to find it?"
Bennidict was unwilling to believe it.
Even though Shanks had indeed snatched the Gum-Gum Fruit in the original work, his understanding at the time was that Ace was the successor to the Gum-Gum Fruit.
And before that, the World Government had obtained the Gum-Gum Fruit, and it was snatched by Shanks during the escort.
But whether it was at the behest of Noxus Sheng at that time was unknown.
Gelluza did not refute Bennidict's words and did not know how to refute them.
If he had to give an explanation, the only thing Gelluza could imagine was that it was because Shanks was the young master.
"Is there anything else?" Bennidict asked again.
"Regarding the second condition proposed by Marshal Bennidict, Lord Noxus Sheng has agreed," Gelluza said unhurriedly.
Hearing Gelluza's words, not only Sengoku, Kenjirou, and Garp, but even Bennidict was surprised.
Was Noxus Sheng really not having problems with his brain?
He actually agreed to this condition and let his son stay in the Xuanwu Navy?
After all, staying here could very well mean being imprisoned for ten years without seeing the light of day.
Bennidict stared at Gelluza.
Under Bennidict's gaze, Gelluza began to sweat profusely and felt a surge of panic.
"What about the third condition?" Bennidict asked after a moment.
"Lord Noxus Sheng will not come, but is willing to offer a piece of information as a substitute," Gelluza said with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Bennidict began to ponder.
The reason he proposed the third condition was mainly to see what kind of person this Noxus Sheng was, and also to have a chat through dialogue.
Therefore, he was somewhat interested in the information Gelluza mentioned.
"What information?"
"If this information does not have sufficient value, I will not acknowledge it."
"The previous two conditions will also be rejected."
Bennidict narrowed his eyes and sneered.
Gelluza nodded and said confidently, "Marshal Bennidict will definitely be satisfied with this information."
Seeing Gelluza's confidence, Bennidict became even more curious, so he said, "Speak."
Gelluza said, with a serious expression, word by word, "Rocks is still alive."
"What?"
"This is impossible?"
"We already killed Rocks."
Sengoku and Garp shouted in disbelief upon hearing Gelluza's words.
During the battle at God Valley, Sengoku, he, and Roger had been besieging Rocks.
And Rocks' power had greatly shocked them.
It could be said that at that time, they had narrowly escaped death.
If it hadn't been for Roger and Sengoku going all out to create an opportunity,
It wouldn't have been the scene where the Marine hero Garp finally took down Rocks.
Rocks died in that battle.
This was something Garp was extremely certain of.
Borsalino, Kenjirou, and even Bennidict, although they believed that Sengoku and Garp had indeed killed Rocks,
However, the fact that Gelluza dared to say such a thing meant that the news was unlikely to be false.
"Do you know what the consequences would be if this news were false?" Bennidict gazed at Gelluza and said with a playful expression.
Gelluza nodded generously and replied, "I know."
"However, Lord Noxus Sheng also said that if the information is incorrect, the young master can remain in the Xuanwu Navy forever."
Hearing Gelluza's words again, Sengoku and Garp still refused to believe it.
"Gelluza, do you know?"
"If the outside world knew that the notorious villain Rocks was still alive, how many people would respond to his call and turn this sea upside down again?"
Sengoku solemn went before Gelluza and reprimanded him in a deep voice.
Gelluza remained calm in the face of the angry Sengoku and said, "Although it is regrettable, this is the truth, Sengoku."
"I must admit that at that time, you, Garp, and Roger did defeat Rocks."
"Killed," Garp corrected with displeasure.
"In fact, he wasn't dead at that time," Gelluza replied.
After a pause, Gelluza immediately added, "Secondly, did you see his corpse at that time?"
"No!"
"At that time, Rocks was punched by you into the ground of the Red Line Continent."
"Afterward, the ground, unable to withstand the destruction of the battle, collapsed, and Rocks was buried within it, and later washed away by the sea currents."
"Did you see the corpse throughout the entire process?"
Sengoku and Garp fell silent upon hearing this.
In fact, as Gelluza had said, they really hadn't seen the corpse.
Moreover, in such a battle, and under the great collapse, they, exhausted at the time, could only do their best to escape.
Therefore, Gelluza's words at this moment began to make them doubt whether Rocks was still alive.
"Let's assume Rocks is still alive."
"Tell me, where is he now?"
Bennidict was very curious about this person named Rocks.
Bennidict had never seen Rocks, but he had heard many legends about Rocks.
As for how terrifying Rocks was in the past, Bennidict could imagine it to some extent.
But it would never make Bennidict afraid.
Even if Rocks was still alive and had become stronger, in his eyes, he would still be an ant.
