Haihou was somewhat silent.
He didn't know if what Green Bull said was true.
But he knew that Benedict's strength was immense, far beyond his capabilities.
"What do you want to do?"
"Win by sheer numbers?"
"Except for a few special individuals, all the Devil Fruit users from the Whitebeard Pirates have been captured."
"In the Whitebeard Pirates, only Marco and Whitebeard are of any real value."
Haihou stared at Green Bull, needing an answer.
After all, capturing Whitebeard would be a monumental achievement for him.
It was only because of Green Bull's orders that he had to withdraw, giving Whitebeard a chance to recover.
"Can't over three hundred demons buy us enough time?"
"Before, it was certain that Benedict would arrive, and relatively soon."
"But now, we have the numbers. A quick victory will catch Whitebeard completely off guard."
"He definitely won't expect us to attack so suddenly."
"This also means less time for him to contact Benedict."
Green Bull said confidently.
Haihou looked at Green Bull with a sense of disbelief, not knowing what to say.
This plan was so flawed, even a dog wouldn't give it a second glance.
It was unbearable to watch.
Haihou cursed inwardly, furious that he had missed the opportunity to capture Whitebeard due to Green Bull's so-called strategy.
What kind of nonsense was this?
What use was the little bit of time they had bought?
Benedict would still come.
"Let's move. Acting now will definitely catch Whitebeard completely off guard."
Thick branches grew from Green Bull's feet, lifting him above the trees, and he surveyed the Whitebeard Pirates' stronghold from afar before giving the order.
The next moment, the demons, who had been quiet until then, obeyed Green Bull's command and all flew towards the Whitebeard Pirates' stronghold.
Haihou leaped up and landed on the tip of a tree, asking indifferently, "Where are the primeval demons?"
Haihou watched the departing demons, and through their speed, he suddenly realized that the demons here were all artificial.
"The primeval demons are more important. The master's intention is to wait until a sufficient number has gathered, and then they will form their own army."
"At that time, facing so many primeval demons, it will be the end for Benedict and his subordinates."
"Gold-Gold Fruit, Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Glide-Glide Fruit, Glow-Glow Fruit, Ape-Ape Fruit, Mirror-Mirror Fruit, Underworld-Underworld Fruit, and so on."
"There are too many demon kings in the Xuanwu Navy that need to be awakened. We must accelerate the process."
"When these demon kings are awakened, this world will continue to be shrouded in darkness."
"History will regress, and everything will start anew."
"No one can threaten the king's rule."
"Hahaha!"
Green Bull spread his arms, his fingers extending, and numerous branches grew, sprouting various leaves and flowers.
It was exceptionally beautiful, a convergence of a hundred flowers.
However, Green Bull's voice and monstrous face ruined the overall image.
Haihou looked at the excited Green Bull and fell silent once more.
The gap in strength was also a gap in status.
Haihou had no choice but to bow before Green Bull.
Meanwhile.
Over three hundred demons attacked again.
The pirates on the outer perimeter of the Whitebeard Pirates were the first to react.
They desperately tried to relay the message back.
They also grabbed their guns and swords, or controlled cannons, and opened fire.
The vast difference in power meant their resistance was futile.
With just ten of the three hundred demons, they could easily send them to their demise in terror.
The three hundred demons continued their assault.
At this moment, Whitebeard had just finished eating the Senzu bean Marco had given him.
The benefits of the Senzu bean took immediate effect.
Whitebeard's body instantly returned to its peak state, with no trace of injury.
Not only that, but Whitebeard also clearly felt his strength improve further.
Having gone through a brush with death, the breakthrough in his state of mind had likely led to this increase in power.
"Report, Old Man, intelligence from the perimeter indicates a large number of demons are attacking."
A Whitebeard executive rushed out in panic, shouting loudly.
Instantly, all the executives present began to panic.
They were already heavily injured and were powerless to resist a greater number of demons.
When the executive shouted, Whitebeard had already sensed the demons' presence and now saw a large horde approaching.
Whitebeard grabbed his great sword, his expression calm, and said, "Marco, organize everyone and get out of here."
"I'll hold them off."
"To buy you some time."
Marco's expression changed drastically upon hearing Whitebeard's words, and he shouted, "Old Man, we will not abandon our family."
"It is natural for a father to protect his children," Whitebeard said with a slight smile, "Live well."
With that, Whitebeard charged out first.
If he was going to buy time for Marco and the others, he couldn't passively wait for the demons to attack.
With a low roar, Whitebeard swung his great sword towards the rapidly approaching demons and brought it down.
In an instant, with the power of his Devil Fruit, the sky was torn apart.
A massive sword energy shot out, and along its path, visible spatial barriers cracked and shattered.
The four demons at the forefront of the attack were instantly annihilated, their bodies exploding.
The other demons were shocked by this, but after the shock, they charged at Whitebeard with renewed ferocity.
However, for the demons who had previously surrounded Whitebeard, their gazes were filled with confusion and even hesitation.
On the shoulder of one of the demons was a chrysanthemum, from which Green Bull's face emerged.
This was Green Bull's ability, plant clones.
Through these clones, the main body could see and communicate normally with everything the clones saw.
Green Bull looked at Whitebeard and showed a look of astonishment, then turned to Haihou beside him and questioned, "Didn't you say Whitebeard was already severely injured by you?"
"How is Whitebeard still full of vigor and showing no signs of injury?"
Upon hearing Green Bull's words, Haihou's expression changed, and he immediately replied with displeasure, "Impossible."
"Whitebeard was surrounded by dozens of demons and was already severely injured. If you hadn't ordered me to retreat, I would have captured Whitebeard by now."
Haihou was extremely displeased with Green Bull's words, even suspecting it was an excuse.
His true motive might be to attack him.
After all, he too was a Devil Fruit user, and his strength was top-tier among the Admirals, reaching S+ level.
And Green Bull's ability was to sacrifice Devil Fruit users to summon demon kings to this world.
How could Haihou not be suspicious and wary?
