In martial arts, there's a saying: "All martial arts under heaven are invincible if they are fast enough."
Therefore, speed determines everything.
In this world, this concept also holds true.
For instance, Borsalino, who possesses the Pika Pika no Mi.
With his speed of light, as long as he doesn't seek out fights, his ability to escape is second to none.
Even in combat, as long as he doesn't encounter opponents with vastly superior strength, he is invincible among peers, and can even challenge those above his level. If he can't win, he simply retreats.
Doesn't this embody the saying, "Invincible if fast enough"?
The Mero Mero no Mi is a very good Devil Fruit, but its effectiveness ultimately depends on the user's resolve and imagination to develop its abilities to a deeper level.
A hundred times speed is the fastest speed developed by Byrnndi World, and enlargement is similar.
So, besides a hundred times, are there a thousand times, ten thousand times, or even the speed of light?
In this regard, even Borsalino has not fully unleashed his power.
The Pika Pika no Mi possesses the speed of light.
However, in terms of destructive power, it is somewhat lacking.
Byrnndi World only developed his Devil Fruit abilities to this extent due to his dreams in his youth and his brother.
Byrnndi World and his brother dreamed of traveling the world, but his brother died. Afterwards, he offended a World Noble, and was relentlessly pursued.
This also made Byrnndi World harbor immense hatred for the World Government, wishing to destroy it immediately.
And this is something that Byrnndi World has always kept in mind.
Unfortunately, he no longer has the opportunity.
Because he became a pirate, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and even attacked the Genbu Navy, causing them to lose an admiral.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for defeating the Seven Warlord of the Sea, Byrnndi World. You have obtained 50000 Justice Points, 1 Special Forces Summoning Stone, 1 Gold Treasure Chest, and 100 Troop Enhancement Stones."
"Ding! Mero Mero no Mi detected. Does the host wish to use it to summon Special Forces?"
"No summon!" Benedict directly refused.
The Mero Mero no Mi and the Bari Bari no Mi are a perfect combination.
They possess extremely high strategic value.
However, Benedict does not intend to summon it yet.
At least, it's not the right time.
If it were summoned and discovered by the World Government, they would undoubtedly send people to kill the summoner, retrieve the Devil Fruit, and find it again.
The World Government naturally understands the strategic value of the Mero Mero no Mi.
Of course, now that he possesses the Devil Fruit Juicer, this Mero Mero no Mi can definitely produce a drop of Five-Colored Awakening Potion, so it's better to keep it for now.
Facing the Godly Physique, a Mero Mero no Mi Special Forces soldier is something he can endure for now.
Although the Mero Mero no Mi cannot be summoned immediately or used for juicing, for other ordinary Devil Fruits, Benedict had no hesitation.
The Kame Kame no Mi and the Zushi Zushi no Mi, ordinary types, have very low development potential.
However, they still contributed two drops of Ordinary Awakening Potion.
The battle lasted for half a day, and the pirates on the island were completely cleared out.
The Navy never hesitates when dealing with pirates; once the blade is raised, it is rarely lowered.
"Seven Warlord of the Sea, Byrnndi World of the Waddles Pirates, is officially removed!"
"I don't care what status the World Government has bestowed upon them. When they were still pirates, continuing to burn, kill, and plunder, and attacking our Genbu Navy, they were already deserving of death."
"Justice will never be late."
"Twisted justice will also face retribution."
With the island of Druss burning in the background and the head of Byrnndi World as a trophy, Benedict's camera once again announced the operation to the world.
Instantly, the entire pirate world was in an uproar.
The Genbu Navy is too terrifying.
Within this single day, Benedict had already accomplished three major feats.
The first was the annihilation of the Vinsmoke family.
The second, and the most sensational event, was the killing of Golden Lion Shiki and the destruction of his Flying Pirates.
The third was now, the elimination of another Seven Warlord of the Sea.
And before this, Gecko Moria had already died at Benedict's hands.
So, was this a direct declaration of war against the World Government?
In Marineford, Sakazuki, Sengoku, Garp, and others were all silent.
They also disliked the Seven Warlords, as their existence was a stain on the Navy.
However, due to the Five Elders' resolve, they had no choice but to accept this reality.
Yet, as the Genbu Navy grew stronger, with the death of the Golden Lion and the elimination of two Seven Warlords of the Sea, they were forced to seriously consider how the Navy should proceed.
Of course, in this matter, they felt a sense of satisfaction.
Among them, Zephyr was the most pleased.
He had been the most opposed when the order for the Seven Warlords was issued.
With the Seven Warlords eliminated, it was the Five Elders who were truly embarrassed.
In the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.
The Five Elders' expressions were all grim.
"It's a pity. I thought Byrnndi World could cause some impact on the Genbu Navy."
"I didn't expect him to be eliminated so quickly."
"Yes, it is indeed a pity."
"One is gone, so let another take their place."
"Douglas Bullet, known as the 'Descendant of the Demon,' and 'Lone Red' Byrnndi World, who wanders the Grand Line alone, these two are capable of filling the position of Seven Warlords."
"Both of them have difficult personalities. We have tried to negotiate with them before, but they both refused to serve as Seven Warlords."
"There will always be a way."
"Is that so? Then I shall make a trip?"
...
"Let's put the matter of the Seven Warlords aside for now."
"Let's talk about Benedict appearing in the North Blue, East Blue, and South Blue all within one day."
"Such incredible speed, and it was his true self. Do you think he might have obtained that fruit?"
"He doesn't fear seawater, so he shouldn't be a Devil Fruit user."
"Are we afraid of that? When strength reaches its extreme, such restraints are merely a way to relax the body."
"I don't know. If it is that fruit, this matter needs to be reported to the 'King.'"
...
While everyone was marveling at Benedict's three major accomplishments in one day and his speed, Benedict himself was focused on preparing to open the Gold Treasure Chest.
Benedict took a deep breath and calmly said, "System, open the Gold Treasure Chest!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 20 Senzu Beans."
One Senzu Bean costs five thousand Justice Points. Twenty beans would be one hundred thousand.
This result was somewhat unexpected for Benedict.
However, with these, it was equivalent to having twenty lives. Benedict was quite satisfied with this opening of the Gold Treasure Chest.
Besides the Gold Treasure Chest, defeating Byrnndi World also yielded a Special Forces Summoning Stone, which was what Benedict was most interested in.
This was because the person summoned using the Special Forces Summoning Stone was not a Devil Fruit user.
The existence of the Devil Fruit Juicer had already cast a shadow of doubt in his mind.
He had to be prepared.
