One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

The warship's prow is shaped like a giant dog's head holding a bone. It is the personal flagship of Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp, and is the only one of its kind in the entire navy, making it highly recognizable.

After fighting Bogart, I roughly understand my own skill level.

If we were to actually fight that monster Garp at this point, we'd probably die before we even got started.

"Don't chase after me, my ship doesn't welcome you!"

As Russell swiftly returned to the ship, cannon fire rang out.

Bucky was directing the artillery, firing precisely wherever he aimed. "Hehehe, taste the power of Lord Bucky!"

Bogart swung his sword, slicing down the cannons. When he looked up again, the figures and ships had already drifted further and further away.

Forget it, let Vice Admiral Garp handle this trouble.

Bogart sheathed his sword.

Why not just kill the Celestial Dragons in Chapter 17?

Sea surface,

The Snard

That's right, the ship has a name now.

He took Russell's surname as his given name.

Compared to Russell, who had just become a pirate, Buggy and his crew had been adventuring as pirates in the East Blue for many years, and they discovered many problems as soon as they boarded the ship.

The pirate crew's name is not provided.

There is no pirate crew flag.

The pirate crew had no goal.

For so many years, Buggy never imagined he would encounter a pirate crew with no sense of purpose. It had been so many years since he had formed his own pirate crew out of sheer passion.

On the deck, the burly beastmen stood nearby. The giant lion Riki from the Buggy Pirates tucked its tail in, as if it had seen a ghost, and kept trying to burrow into Mochi's arms.

"What are you afraid of?"

Russell, sitting in the center, laughed loudly: "Since I've decided to let you join, you're now members of my pirate crew."

The Buggy Pirates shouted, "Yes, Captain Russell!"

Bucky, standing nearby, couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I'm still the former captain here. Why wasn't he so enthusiastic when he called me before?"

However, remembering Russell's previous battle with Bogart, Bucky gave in.

Especially Devil Fruits.

So the Chop-Chop Fruit can be used like this?!

"You're quite familiar with that guy, aren't you?"

As Bucky was lost in thought, a voice came from nearby. He instinctively looked up and saw Russell staring at him with great interest.

"Familiar? No, not familiar?" Bucky shook his head. "What do I have to be familiar with the Marines at headquarters?"

"What's there to hide? Your Captain Roger had so many conflicts with Garp in the past, Bogart should have been there too."

As he spoke, Russell smiled and said, "Former crew member of the Pirate King, that's a pretty good title."

He had no interest in the Buggy Pirates; the crew members were all unknown small-time pirates with no bounties.

Without Pakistan, he would most likely end up as fish food in the ocean.

If Buggy didn't have the ability to be a navigator, he would most likely have met the same fate. His ship doesn't need pirates who don't have any skills and just want to do nothing.

They either need to be good at fighting or good at doing the work.

It's that simple.

However, I just remembered that Buggy seems to have another identity: Shanks' childhood friend and an apprentice on Roger's ship, right?

These days, interns are really fierce.

Shanks, Kaido, Blackbeard... these guys all showed signs of talent from the very beginning as apprentices.

As for Pakistan?

As far as I can remember, this guy was quite lucky. Russell also felt that his luck wasn't bad either, as he encountered Devil Fruit users one after another after setting sail.

If two lucky people are on the same ship, wouldn't they be invincible?

Compared to Russell's composure, everyone else on the ship looked stunned.

Even Ella couldn't help but glance sideways at the red nose.

Are they members of the crew of One Piece?

This clown has such an identity, but... in the East Blue, a former crew member of the Pirate King with a bounty of 15 million Berries, something feels off.

"Captain Buggy is actually a crew member on the Pirate King's ship? How come I had no idea!"

"So Captain Bucky is a big shot!"

"But how did Captain Russell know...?"

For a moment, the members of Buggy's Pirates looked at Russell with even greater awe.

Bucky was completely bewildered; how did his disguise come to light?

This is not a good thing, because everyone associated with the Pirate King has been eliminated by the World Government and the Navy. The only ones still active are those who have become Yonko (Emperors) in the New World.

Red-Haired Shanks!

"You, you, you, who exactly are you?" Bucky's voice trembled slightly.

"Me? Someone who became a pirate out of interest. Now I'm your captain."

Russell smiled and said, "What, do you still want to get off the ship now?"

This is about being a pirate, not playing house.

Bucky shook his head. "Of course not, that's all in the past. Now you are my most respected captain!"

He tried to take a few steps forward, but Ella gave him a cold look, and the Snake Mother bared her teeth.

Bucky didn't dare to move.

He... he doesn't seem capable of being the first mate.

Russell responded with an "Oh," adding, "But I've taken away your abilities."

Shanks even tried to recruit Bucky, but Bucky refused.

It makes me angry just thinking about it.

Buggy gritted his teeth and said, "That fruit is a curse for me! Who wants to be a landlubber?! It's all Shanks' fault, otherwise the One Piece and the title of Pirate King..."

He abruptly stopped himself from speaking, and said obsequiously, "These will all belong to Captain Russell in the future!"

He's not a very likable guy.

Ella swung the chains, making a clanging sound that startled Bucky.

The people on this ship are terrifying.

"Haha, don't be nervous, we'll all be partners from now on."

Russell formally introduced her, "This is Lunaria Ella, a combatant. You can call her the Snake Mother. She's in charge of the Beast Squad."

Snake Mother?

Beast Corps?

Bucky was completely bewildered.

"Yes, you haven't seen it yet, have you?"

Russell laughed and said, "Then let me show you, the Snake Mother."

The snake mother nodded, then pointed out two strange beasts.

Russell snapped his fingers, and two enormous beasts immediately appeared on the deck.

The Buggy Pirates finally understood why the usually arrogant and domineering Lion Riki was as docile as a kitten.

The two are completely mismatched!

"Is this also Captain Russell's ability?"

Bucky's eyes widened.

For the vast majority of pirates and marines, size is justice.

These wild beasts are incredibly intimidating.

Russell laughed, "Form-Shape Fruit. If you want to turn into a beast, I don't mind helping you."

Bucky was stunned by what he said.

He had realized before that Russell's abilities were definitely not ordinary.

"Can I ask the captain how much power you have?" Bucky asked.
