One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

"Are you really alright?" Ella asked.

Russell didn't pay much attention to his injuries and just kept eating.

"If you can eat it, then it's fine."

Crocus came over carrying a medicine box and saw Russell's appearance. "You were fighting so fiercely with that Golden Lion guy?"

"Not bad, that old lion is much stronger than I thought... If it weren't for the ship's wheel on his head affecting his balance, I probably wouldn't have been able to withstand that last blow."

Russell had a high opinion of the Golden Lion's strength.

Legendary pirates are not titles that can be bestowed upon them by ordinary means.

Crocus was very skilled. As the former ship doctor of the Pirate King's ship, his medical skills were beyond question. He put his hand on Russell's shoulder, quickly opened the medicine box, took out bottles and jars and began to prepare ointment, without stopping talking.

"You're crazy enough. That guy, Golden Lion, has been fighting Roger for so long without a clear winner. You've only been at sea for a short time and you dare to confront that kind of monster head-on."

If it weren't for the fact that his strength had been significantly diminished over the years due to that ship's rudder and his broken leg, he probably would have been picked off by a later admiral.

That would not have ended with Russell's resounding victory.

It's fair to say that the Golden Lion and Russell are evenly matched.

"Hahaha, doesn't this just prove that the era of those old guys is over?" Russell laughed loudly, putting the cooked giant sea monster leg into his mouth.

Back then, even Kaido had to respectfully address Shiki as "senpai" in front of him.

Those who were able to escape Impel Down must be quite powerful.

But time is the most ruthless enemy.

Even a powerful lion like Shiki cannot stay at its peak forever.

Especially after stealing the Float-Float Fruit from Shiki, Russell's potential as a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user was undoubtedly at its peak. If he hadn't been in poor condition, Russell would have really wanted to fight Aokiji back then.

Meanwhile, the pirates nearby were also quite excited about their captain's newly acquired ability.

"So, does that mean we can call ourselves the Flying Pirates from now on?"

"The Sky Island is ours now. We can take off anytime, so we won't be afraid even if we run into a Marine Admiral."

"Russell, Russell, there's a whirlpool ahead, we need to avoid it."

Grace's Observation Haki had just detected it when Russell waved his hand, and then the entire Snard shuddered and flew back into the air.

Then I saw the huge vortex below.

"This ability is too strong."

"We no longer need to fear natural disasters at sea!"

"Even if the entire navy were to be deployed, they wouldn't be able to catch us."

Chaos reigned on the deck as pirates scrambled to grab the gunwales and masts. Some lay motionless on the deck, while others simply clung to their companions.

Wapa adapted quickly. He was originally from the Sky Island and was no stranger to moving in the air. He even walked to the side of the ship with great interest and looked down.

"The power of the Float-Float Fruit is amazing! It's so convenient. I won't have to worry about wind direction or ocean currents anymore. I can just fly wherever I want to go."

"It's not that simple."

Russell sat on the bench, letting Crocus apply ointment to his wounds. "The stamina consumed by the Float-Float Fruit is proportional to the mass of the object being moved."

Developing it into a sky island like the Golden Lion is no easy task.

The Form-Form Fruit was already burdensome enough, and now we have the Float-Float Fruit.

The only downside to weight training is that you don't know your own strength level.

Bucky leaned closer, touching the ship's side with an amazed look. "Captain, you've really mastered something incredible now. If that Golden Lion had had this kind of brain, he would have razed Marine Headquarters to the ground long ago. He's just too stubborn, always insisting on going head-to-head with people."

Stubborn?

Perhaps the older generation of pirates all had this idea.

The sea level had become a tiny dot, and the clouds drifted slowly past the sides of the ship.

The Snark is flying at a steady speed in a southeast direction, which is the course to the next island.

There's really nothing to worry about regarding the injuries.

Youth gives you that privilege.

Not to mention there's Crocus next to him.

"Russell, when you were fighting the Golden Lion in the sky just now, that last move..."

Ella walked up to him, hesitant to speak.

"You're shrouded in Conqueror's Haki, aren't you?"

Russell picked up where she left off, a glint of excitement in his eyes. “I haven’t learned it yet, but I’ve got a good grasp of it. It’s a pity, if I had fought a few more rounds, I could have mastered it even better. But that old guy couldn’t keep up with the stamina first, otherwise I would have liked to practice some more.”

"You call that level of fighting 'practice'?" Ella was speechless.

"Otherwise what? Why do you think I would fight him for so long? If I really wanted a quick victory, I would have just fired a few Thunder Dragon Ashes and knocked him down from the sky."

Russell said, "I want to use his Conqueror's Haki to practice my Entangling Technique. That's a higher-level application than Armament Haki. You can't always find a sparring partner like that. Ella and the others too, don't waste your time when you encounter an enemy like that."

Ella suddenly felt sorry for Shiki the Golden Lion.

A legendary pirate who roamed the seas for decades was used as a free Conqueror's Haki coach by a junior.

But thinking about it carefully, there are indeed very few people in this ocean who would consider the Golden Lion as a sparring partner.

Russell said with great interest, "Since Aokiji is here, Shiki should be locked up in Impel Down by now."

Although I took away the Golden Lion's power, I also gave him a new one.

Before leaving, I saw the golden lion completely frozen.

Crocus paused in his actions: "What, you want to break into prison?"

"That's not it."

Russell scoffed. "Since he's unwilling to join me, I have no interest in him personally. I've already taken his abilities, and he's too old to cause any trouble anymore. Impel Down is a perfect place to keep him."

He was just thinking that there were quite a few interesting people locked up in Impel Down.

Those guys whom the World Government deemed too dangerous to be publicly executed.

Many of them have quite good abilities.

Ella seemed to know what he was thinking.

"No way, Captain Russell, you're not thinking of attacking Impel Down, are you?!"

Bucky was gesturing wildly, clearly very nervous. "That's a very dangerous place!"

"What danger is there?"

Russell grinned. "But this is just a plan for now. Besides, what pirate isn't dangerous?"

That's too dangerous.

With such a captain, Ella and her crew also had to think about how to become stronger.

We can still handle the rivals on the Grand Line.

The enemies in the New World are different, especially the subordinates of the Four Emperors.

Thus began a tense and exciting training session on the ship.

.....

Ella stood before the two massive historical inscriptions and took a deep breath.

The sea breeze caressed her long, silvery-white hair, and sunlight cast dappled shadows on the ancient carvings of the stone tablet.

As a descendant of a race of gods, her potential is beyond doubt.

It possesses superhuman regenerative and defensive capabilities, and in many situations, it even has an effect similar to immortality.

"Haha, Ella, you really know your stuff. If you want to cultivate, you have to be like me. These historical texts are the best tools."

Russell sat on a wooden crate not far away, toying with a gold coin in his hand.

"I won't fall behind."

Ella nodded and flexed her wrists.

The next second, her figure shot out like an arrow released from a bow.

boom!

His fist slammed hard against the surface of the stone tablet, producing a dull, thunderous sound.

The material of the historical inscription stele is said to be several times harder than sea stone, and ordinary swords cannot even leave a mark on it.

In terms of defensive capabilities, Ella felt she could rival the Poneglyphs.

However, if the two sides collide...

"drink!"

The elbow swept horizontally, creating a gust of wind.

Ella's body spun half a circle in the air, her elbow slamming into the side of the stone tablet like a hammer blow.
