Diverting the demon army

A devil grass was one of the enticing items for the demons and when a devil grass lives for more than 10000 years, it bears a single small fruit which was called devil grass fruit or a devil fruit.

When a demon senses the fragrance of the devil fruit, they would unconsciously set the devil fruit as their top priority target and would do any means to get it.

"Since, we can't use the devil fruits for ourselves then why don't we use it for diverting the demon?" Edmond threw the devil fruit towards Rulf before continuing, "Since you are very eager to save the normal residents, then hold that fruit and rush towards the direction of the so-called Great families."

The devil fruit could not be used by beings like demons or other devil or demonic element beings. If it was used by a human, then without a doubt the person would become a mindless creature that would only destroy anything that lies in his way.

So, Edmond didn't have much attachment to the devil fruit.
