The roar was disregarded, along with its mental impact.
Benedict’s gaze was fixed on the Devil Fruit juicer.
Beneath the swirling, multi-colored light, it was as if not just the fruit itself, but also the devil's soul was being crushed.
Like a loading bar, thirty seconds later, a drop of golden liquid floated within the Devil Fruit juicer.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining one drop of Common Awakening Potion."
Benedict didn't need to extract it himself. The system automatically extracted it, placed it in a transparent container, and stored it in the warehouse.
"Common Awakening Potion?"
"Are there even different grades?"
Benedict was taken aback and immediately had a bad premonition.
Common Awakening Potion: Collecting ten drops of Common Awakening Potion has a high probability of breaking through the body's limits and obtaining an Extraordinary Physique.
Extraordinary Physique: A pseudo-divine physique, situated between peak human and god.
Extraordinary Physique Attributes: SS-level Stamina, SS-level Defense, SS-level Speed, S-level Healing, SS-level Mental Power, S+-level Potential.
Although its attributes were significantly weaker than a Divine Physique, it remained formidable.
Benedict checked Saitama’s attribute information and found a special column: Extraordinary Physique.
Saitama's terrifying strength, aside from his maxed-out Armament Haki that granted him fearsome combat power, was largely due to the buffs from this Extraordinary Physique.
Without this Extraordinary Physique, Saitama’s strength would have been reduced by at least a third of his combat power.
Furthermore, Saitama's potential would not be S+-level.
If Kenjirou, Sakata Gintoki, Great Tengu Kiyofumi, Lu Bu, and others were all to obtain Extraordinary Physiques, their various stats would be enhanced, and their potential would reach S+ level.
Thinking of this, Benedict smiled happily.
On the surface, as long as Kenjirou and Sakata Gintoki's strength reached Saitama’s terrifying level, the Xuanwu Navy's high-level combat power would be absolutely stable.
He would no longer fear Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, or even Sora's combined might.
Besides the Common Awakening Potion, there was also a Colorful Awakening Potion. Collecting twenty drops of Awakening Potion had a high probability of breaking through the body's limits and obtaining a Divine Physique.
Upon seeing this information, Benedict couldn't help but want to curse the system again.
As expected, good things weren't that easily obtained.
Benedict didn't know how many Devil Fruits there were, but there were definitely not few.
There were many Devil Fruits like the Spider-Spider Fruit, and they wouldn't be difficult to acquire.
This way, it wouldn't be difficult to forge several experts with Extraordinary Physiques in a short period.
Benedict narrowed his eyes, a killing intent flashing, and murmured, "It seems very necessary to organize a small team to specifically hunt Devil Fruit users."
For the Xuanwu Navy, for Extraordinary Physique, and for Divine Physique, this 'Demon Hunter Squad' must be formed.
Taking a deep breath, Benedict then looked at the remaining three Devil Fruits, feeling a bit hesitant.
Should he juice the remaining three Devil Fruits as well?
Through the Devil Fruit juicer, it was hard not to believe that devils might exist.
After some internal struggle, Benedict still said, "System, use the Float-Float Fruit to summon a special forces soldier."
The Float-Float Fruit had high strategic importance.
Without fighter jets, in battles at sea or on land, having the Float-Float Fruit ability would allow warships to be effectively transformed into fighter jets.
In the future, confrontations with the World Government would only increase, and no one could guarantee what special weapons the World Government might produce.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning a special forces soldier using the Float-Float Fruit: Yasuo the Unforgiven."
A gust of wind swirled about a nautical mile off the Xuanwu Navy base, forming a waterspout that rapidly advanced towards the Xuanwu Navy base's port.
The Xuanwu Navy soldiers guarding the gate stared at the approaching waterspout, momentarily stunned, but quickly sounded the alarm.
As the alarm blared, a colonel immediately organized the artillery to aim at the approaching waterspout.
The colonel's gaze was steady as he stared at the waterspout and uttered in a deep voice, "Fire."
This wasn't the first time they had seen a waterspout appear.
In the mysterious and unpredictable sea, waterspouts or whirlpools could appear at any moment.
The Xuanwu Navy soldiers had ways to deal with this.
For example, when a waterspout like this charged towards them, they would concentrate fire, using powerful impacts to forcibly dissipate the waterspout.
A roaring sound erupted as more than ten cannonballs shot out simultaneously, converging on a single point.
That point was where the waterspout had just arrived.
The moment the dozen-plus cannonballs collided, a deafening explosion echoed for tens of miles.
Concurrently, the seawater was instantly pushed out from an area spanning a hundred meters under the immense destructive force and impact.
The seawater surged forward, crashing against the Xuanwu Navy base's port, creating enormous splashes.
The seawater rained down like a torrential downpour, and a figure also appeared in the air, exposed to everyone's sight.
The colonel, seeing the person in the air, dared not be careless and sounded the alarm again.
This time, it was different from the previous alarm; it was the distinct alarm for an intruder.
As the alarm sounded, the high-ranking officials within the Xuanwu Navy base immediately stopped their work and rushed to the large balcony to see who dared to intrude upon the Xuanwu Navy base at this time.
After all, they had only recently annihilated the Sky Pirates not long ago.
"Death, like the wind, comes with me."
The voice, resonant and somewhat solemn, echoed through the heavens and earth.
Just this voice alone caused the expressions of the Navy's high-ranking officials to shift subtly and become grave.
Saitama, who was doing squats, heard the voice, looked into the distance with a hint of surprise.
"Another one looking for a fight?" Saitama clenched his fist, shook it a few times, and thought that no matter who it was, he'd throw a punch first.
*Slap!*
Benedict, with a darkened expression, appeared beside Saitama and grabbed his hand, asking, "What are you doing?"
If he hadn't come to the window to check and happened to see Saitama's action, Benedict couldn't help but suspect that his great swordsman Yasuo might die before even making a move.
"That swordsman is a bit arrogant. I was planning to give him a welcome gift," Saitama said blankly.
"He's one of us. Put away your welcome gift," Benedict said, speechless.
As Benedict finished speaking, Yasuo the Unforgiven had already flown to Benedict's side.
"Yasuo pays his respects to the Marshal."
Upon landing, Yasuo gave Benedict a military salute and called out with a serious expression.
Yasuo the Unforgiven: Yasuo (Reinforceable)
Age: 38
Combat Power: S-Class
Weapon: Steel Wind
Skills: Steel Tempest, Wind Wall, Sweeping Blade, Last Breath, Armament Haki Lv3, Observation Haki Lv3.
Special Skill 1: Float-Float Fruit Ability
Special Skill 2: Embrace the End
Assignable Potential: S-Class.
Loyalty: 100%
His strength was considerable, reaching Admiral level.
However, the Float-Float Fruit's ability had not been specially developed, serving only as a special skill, akin to a secondary ability, granting objects or living beings the ability to float.
This left Benedict with some regret, but it did not change the strategic importance of the fruit in his mind.
However, Yasuo the Unforgiven, his primary combat strength would naturally be his swordsmanship.
Just like Shiki the Golden Lion, wasn't it the same?
The Devil Fruit ability could only serve as an auxiliary existence.
True strength lay in the power one possessed.
