Kapitel 322: 321 Conqueror Awakening
Looking at the expressions of these Commanders, Charles Vane suddenly felt a little displeased, because according to their intentions, then Charlotte Smoothie had to obey the prisoner's treatment, which was different from his previous guarantee to Charlotte Smoothie.
"Can I offer my life as a guarantee? Charlotte Smoothie might join us in the future. Why can't you trust her a bit more?"
Charles Vane proposed.
"Do you so easily believe an outsider now? Have you been brainwashed by her?"
Jozu said angrily.
"I'm starting to feel like this woman has you under her control,"
Vista added.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Charles Vane clenched his fists, feeling uncomfortable with being accused, his emotions becoming agitated.
The atmosphere suddenly grew tense, as if a fight could break out any moment. Despite disagreeing with Charles Vane's views, the other commanders chose not to escalate the situation further.
Charles Vane, Jozu, and Vista grew hostile, but the others quickly intervened, pulling them away to prevent a potential fight.
Charlotte Smoothie felt very embarrassed on the side, but fortunately, no one directed their anger at her.
Although this situation caught Charlotte Smoothie off guard, she felt deeply touched by Charles Vane's defense of her.
At that moment, Benjamin had to show his authority. He shouted loudly: "Shut up, all of you!"
Simultaneously, a powerful force and aura erupted from Benjamin's body, sending shockwaves through the scene and causing everyone to momentarily step back.
For a moment, silence fell over everyone as they gazed at Benjamin with wide eyes. The power he displayed was extraordinary, beyond ordinary Haki.
"Conqueror's Haki!"
Jinbei exclaimed in surprise.
The other Commanders also recognized it as Conqueror's Haki, a symbol of qualification of a king. As long as the person continues to grow, their future achievements will never be low.
Even in the New World, Conqueror's Haki is very rare. Among the Whitebeard Pirates, not even Marco possesses it.
Among the Commanders, only Jinbei had awakened the Conqueror's Haki, and now, there was one more.
"Benjamin, I didn't expect you to have Conqueror's Haki"
Jozu said, surprised.
"It's incredible that it awakened in this situation,"
Tesla remarked.
"No wonder Oyaji valued you before. Maybe he had this in mind,"
Vista suggested after thinking about what their father decided upon.
Benjamin himself was also taken aback. This sudden surge of power left him in a different state of mind.
"Is this Conqueror's Haki?"
Benjamin clenched his fists.
"Conqueror's Haki. On the battlefield, it can help you handle many opponents,"
Jinbei explained.
Conqueror's Haki is highly effective against weaker opponents. When fully unleashed, it can instantly render unconscious or immobilize pirates who are unable to resist.
Moreover, Jinbei senses that Benjamin's awakened Conqueror's Haki is of superior quality to his own, indicating extraordinary aptitude.
However, before all this, Benjamin showed no signs of possessing Conqueror's Haki or qualifications of a king. Even with the Dark Fruit, he sometimes seemed like a weak individual.
There was no hint of majesty in him as a strong man, so Jinbei believes that Oyaji didn't recognize Benjamin's potential before, and he couldn't see it at all.
"Let's discuss my matters later. I got too excited earlier. You're both core Commanders. Let's not argue over something like this,"
Benjamin suggested.
Even though Conqueror's Haki has been awakened, Benjamin understands that the most important thing right now isn't about discussing him or his abilities, but rather focusing on the ongoing war.
"I mean, we got carried away earlier," Jozu and Vista immediately apologized.
"Now that Marco's not here, as the commander-in-chief, everything is subject to my orders,"
Benjamin stated with dignity.
Everyone regarded Benjamin seriously, perhaps because of his awakened Conqueror's Haki. They now looked at Benjamin with a newfound sense of awe.
Moreover, everyone sensed a difference in Benjamin's demeanor. He now exuded an air of authority and majesty that was absent before.
"Regarding Charlotte Smoothie, since Charles Vane is willing to stake his life as a guarantee, we should trust him!"
Benjamin asserted.
Upon hearing this, Charles Vane felt relieved and quickly expressed his gratitude to Benjamin. Jozu, Vista, and the others didn't press further on the matter.
As a result, Charlotte Smoothie finally succeeded in staying here as a friend. Shortly after, the spies Benjamin had sent out to gather news also returned.
"Report: The Big Mom pirate has assembled on the edge of Bluff Island, and they seem to be planning to board their ships"
"What? Are they trying to escape?"
The Commanders were suddenly surprised and called for immediate action.
Of course, Benjamin wouldn't let this opportunity slip away. He immediately issued his order: "Everyone, launch an attack! While they're still on the shore or boarding the ships, defeat the enemy in the sea."
"Yes!"
Jozu and the others responded immediately, mobilizing their forces. Numerous pirate crew joined the fray, forming a formidable army. Only Charles Vane and Charlotte Smoothie remained behind.
"Charles Vane, aren't you going?"
Benjamin inquired.
"Marco asked me to stay here"
Charles Vane explained, he brought out Marco, leaving Benjamin with no room for argument.
However, from the look in Charles Vane's eyes, Benjamin could almost guess the situation between the two of them. It seemed Charles Vane had developed feelings for Charlotte Smoothie.
"If that's the case, I'll leave things to you here, and I'll join the battle," Benjamin said, accepting Charles Vane's decision.
"Wait, Boss Benjamin, Pops told you to stay here. What if something goes wrong while you're out?"
Sanjuan Wolf asked, expressing concern.
"Haha, of course we'll follow him!"
Edward Weevil said with a smile, ready to accompany Benjamin.
"You two stay here. I'll go alone. Don't worry, I'll be fine. I have Conqueror's Haki, and I'm a user of the Dark Fruit,"
Benjamin reassured them.
"If that's the case, then be careful. Don't go too deep into the battlefield"
Charles Vane noted that Benjamin's combination of Conqueror's Haki and the Dark Fruit indeed made him a formidable opponent, one that most people weren't qualified to fight against.
The only drawback is Benjamin's lack of combat experience. However, in the current situation where the Whitebeard Pirates have the upper hand, and considering the limited movement for the Big Mom Pirates on the coast, this shouldn't pose a big problem
