In such a large-scale battle, Benedict naturally could not let any Devil Fruit users slip through his grasp.
Especially those with mission objectives, they absolutely could not be allowed to escape.
Crocodile had already been rescued from his hands once.
If Crocodile were to escape again this time, it would be a severe embarrassment.
Meanwhile.
The terrifying pressure exerted by Benedict's Chibaku Tensei, along with the colossal sphere it created, shocked everyone present.
Even those not within the suction range were fleeing in terror.
Especially the Blackbeard Pirates, whose battlefield was closest to Crocodile.
Upon seeing Benedict move against Crocodile, they had already retreated.
Now, seeing the massive sphere and Crocodile, unable to break free from its control, Blackbeard felt a lingering fear.
"What a terrifying power this is."
"Fortunately, we weren't targeted by him immediately."
Blackbeard swallowed, unable to help but remark, "What kind of Devil Fruit does this guy possess?"
"Not only can he steal others' Devil Fruits for his own use, but he can also create so many clones and unleash techniques with such destructive power."
"In a one-on-one fight, who can match him?"
Van Augur responded, "Captain, Benedict is too terrifying."
"Although the World Government has many means, the Xuanwu Navy is not weak either."
Speaking of which, Van Augur pointed upwards, "Most importantly, there is still a powerful swordsman above who has not yet made a move."
"Furthermore, we still don't know how many troops and how many experts are present in the floating island above."
"Therefore, it might be better for us to observe the situation from the edge of the battlefield before making any plans."
Blackbeard had his own schemes, but if he were to truly retreat to the edge of the battlefield at this moment, his plans would be significantly diminished.
However, if he were too conspicuous, and Benedict were to target him, it would be extremely troublesome.
"Retreat!"
After a moment of hesitation, Blackbeard made his decision.
When it came to patience, he was second to none.
"Benedict, are you insane?"
"It's not just me who's being controlled and pulled up; there are also people from your Xuanwu Navy."
Crocodile had been continuously using his abilities, attempting to assimilate the surroundings and turn into sand to facilitate his sand body's escape.
At the same time, Crocodile wanted to buy himself enough time.
The main issue was the terrifying suction force.
Benedict, upon hearing this, chuckled, "That makes it simpler."
Benedict extended his other hand, and one by one, he peeled away the Xuanwu Navy soldiers who had been pulled upwards.
With a flick of his wrist, he tossed them away, leaving only the enemies under his control.
Seeing this, Crocodile's face turned pale, and he felt despair.
"Now, you can die."
As Benedict spoke, he clenched the hand he had opened.
The colossal sphere exploded with a roar.
The powerful shockwave spread to almost the entire battlefield.
The area where Benedict had originally been, an area the size of 55 football fields, was gone.
Everything vanished in an instant.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a Devil Fruit user and obtaining the Suna Suna no Mi. Would you like to consume a Devil Fruit to summon a special forces soldier?"
"Juice it!" Benedict said coldly, his mind calm.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining one drop of Five-Colored Awakening Potion."
Listening to the system's notification, Benedict’s face broke into a smile.
Fortunately, he had been a bit uncertain just now, wondering if he would get a regular Awakening Potion.
After all, given Crocodile's current strength, the chance of obtaining a Five-Colored Awakening Potion was only fifty-fifty.
As for why he didn't summon a special forces soldier, Benedict had considered it.
However, as the World Government's exposed strength grew, and with the Five Elders and Im yet to make a move, it was crucial to acquire more personal power and ensure his own safety at this time.
The massive battlefield before him was his opportunity to gather the Five-Colored Awakening Potions.
Because, to date, including this drop, he had accumulated 12 drops of Five-Colored Awakening Potions.
The immense destructive power.
The vanished icebergs.
The battlefield, reduced to dust and bones.
Everyone was terrified by the horrific destructive power displayed by Benedict.
Was such powerful a technique truly wielded by a single person?
Doflamingo narrowed his eyes, feeling an intense sense of crisis.
Although the battle between Mihawk and Gintoki was shocking, he dared not be distracted in the slightest.
In a swordsman's duel, a single moment could lead to death.
Sengoku crawled out of the ice, spitting blood, and looked at the vanished icebergs and the current sea.
The shock of moments ago had made him lose focus.
Kenjiro's Destruction Gauntlet also triggered its special ability at this moment.
A terrifying punch directly forced Sengoku out of his Devil Fruit ability, breaking his chest bones. He was now completely disfigured and utterly pathetic.
After sending Hanma Yujiro flying again, Garp looked at Benedict in mid-air with a complicated expression.
"Truly terrifying power."
"However, you are facing the person in that position."
"You are facing an ancient immortal who has been hidden for hundreds of years."
"Even if you win this battle, how long will it take for you to recover from your losses?"
Buffeted by the surging seawater, the battles on both sides became chaotic.
However, one particular battlefield, despite the impact of the turbulent waves, continued to rage fiercely.
That was the fierce engagement between the Seraphim and the Rear Admiral-level Special Forces.
As the seawater relentlessly crashed in, whether in the water or in mid-air, they continued to fight tenaciously.
And with Benedict's thousands of clones freely running across the sea, the Seraphim, even with their flight abilities, gained no advantage due to the sheer numbers.
On the contrary, some Seraphim, dragged into the water, suffered fatal damage.
None of the Rear Admiral-level Special Forces members were Devil Fruit users.
The hellish training they had endured meant that even in turbulent seas, they underwent hellish weighted training.
They were not Fish-Men, but in the surging sea, they were like Fish-Men, something the Seraphim could not compare to.
The result was that the losses among the Seraphim were greater than the casualties of the Rear Admiral-level Special Forces.
On the floating island.
Compared to the battles of other powerful individuals, Li Chungang paid more attention to the Rear Admiral-level Special Forces he had trained.
He was extremely satisfied with the strength displayed by the Rear Admiral-level Special Forces members.
Fighting in this manner would result in some casualties, but it would not be difficult to eliminate the Seraphim.
