One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

How many abilities?

Plundered fruit, shape-forming fruit, slippery fruit, and split-in fruit.

Before we knew it, we had four different Devil Fruit abilities.

Unsurprisingly, they are all Paramecia-type Devil Fruits. That's fine; Paramecia-type Devil Fruits are the most common in this sea, especially in a place like the Four Seas.

Four abilities...

Buggy actually follows Captain Roger's philosophy: he is not a Devil Fruit user, but his Haki is above all else.

But now he has some doubts.

One Devil Fruit power isn't strong enough, but what about four Devil Fruit powers combined?!

And there will definitely be more Devil Fruits in the future!

Apart from Ella and the Snake Mother, the rest of the crew had little to do with pirates in a strict sense.

Bucky also discovered that most of them were slaves.

Wait, why do those slave tattoos on their backs look so familiar?

“Ah, they are all slaves of the Celestial Dragons,” Russell said.

Bucky didn't understand. "Why would a Celestial Dragon's slave be here?"

Russell smiled. "Kill the Celestial Dragons, and their slaves will become my subordinates."

Kill the Celestial Dragons?

Bucky: "?"

Will I be able to reach the other side alive?

Chapter 18 The Man Who Became a Pirate Out of Interest

"He knows the Six Powers of the Navy, has the power of the Chop-Chop Fruit, but the former Devil Fruit user Buggy the Clown is still alive and is suspected of also having the power of the Smooth-Smooth Fruit. He also wields a cursed sword. Hahaha, he does sound like a troublesome guy."

"However, it is also a fact that fifteen naval soldiers, including Lieutenant Sred, were killed."

"The ship appears to be flying the World Government's flag. I'll report that to headquarters as well. But Bogart, it's rare to see you so concerned about a pirate."

At the port of Shells, an old man wearing a dog-head hat was chewing on a bag of rice crackers.

As he spoke, he took off his hat, revealing a spirited face.

He was tall and strong, with a full head of white hair but still very energetic.

Looking at his subordinates in front of him, he realized they were his trusted lieutenants of many years.

"That man is extraordinary; his strength shouldn't be at the level of someone from the East China Sea."

Bogart recalled his fight with Russell. Although he didn't know Haki yet, he knew about the system. His fighting style was a bit wild, probably formed from long-term battles.

Bogart said in a deep voice, "Besides, he has only just set sail, so I think there is a possibility of winning him over."

Garp glanced at Bogart with some surprise. "He has the blood of a Navy soldier on his hands."

"Yes, but according to my investigation, those sailors are all corrupt and lawless, and they don't even deserve to be called sailors anymore."

Bogart was somewhat angry. After learning what the navy had done in Shells Town, he finally understood where that sense of unease came from.

The Navy's reputation has been ruined by those scoundrels.

Ray, who had lost an arm, hesitated to speak.

No, speak up for me, speak up for me!

"Ah, I heard that too. That kid's men pay for their own things in town, right? Hahaha, they seem much better off than Roger and his crew."

Garp burst into laughter. "A kid with principles, I love catching guys like that."

"Yeah yeah!"

Upon hearing Vice Admiral Garp's words, Colonel Ray became extremely agitated. "That guy named Russell is vicious and lawless! Attacking naval officers and looting a naval branch is a blatant provocation against the dignity of the Navy. We'll set sail right now and capture him!"

Before Karp could speak, the residents watching on the dock couldn't hold back any longer.

"Nonsense!"

A man who looked like a fisherman shouted loudly, and several residents around him echoed him.

Karp turned his head with interest: "Oh? He's wrong?"

"Of course not!"

The fisherman retorted, "That pirate only stole from the navy; he paid for everything in our town's shops, not a penny less!"

Ray retorted angrily, "Bullshit! That's clearly the behavior of pirates."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't what they said the truth?"

Karp glared at him.

Ray: "....."

But no matter what, they're pirates.

Strange things happen every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual.

Garp muttered to himself, then yawned, "Alright, let's hurry up and receive this batch of prisoners. They're going to be sent to Enies Lobby together, right?"

"Lieutenant General Garp!"

Ray panicked, "Aren't you going to go after him?"

"Why are you chasing them? The World Government hasn't even issued a bounty yet, and their ship is flying the World Government's flag."

"You want me to attack the World Government's ships? If that old man Sengoku finds out, he'll be furious with me again."

Besides, Garp didn't come back from his long vacation to catch pirates.

"Hmph, my grandson is getting old too, so I'll take him to the naval training camp this time."

When his grandson was mentioned, Garp's expression turned to gritted teeth.

"That brat actually told me he wanted to be a pirate! I entrusted him to the bandits to raise so he would grow up to be a real man and become a Marine Admiral someday! But he just keeps talking about becoming the Pirate King! I'll see how I deal with him when I get back."

Luffy?

Bogart's expression also became somewhat strange.

If Vice Admiral Garp's grandson were to enter the training camp, it would probably cause a sensation, but given Bogart's understanding of Luffy, Luffy would definitely not sit idly by and wait for his doom.

They might have already set sail.

......

Not long ago, the Buggy Pirates were defeated by the fledgling Straw Hat Luffy crew. Even the captain was knocked away, and there were only a few people left. They finally found Buggy in Shells Town, and then they encountered Russell.

Is this still the East China Sea?

Ella glanced sideways.

The Buggy Pirates are certainly not unknown in the East Blue. Buggy may seem like a comedic character, but as an apprentice on the Pirate King's ship, he is quite strong and has a solid foundation.

Another newbie beat Bucky up. Does this mean that monsters like Russell are being unleashed in droves?

"Straw Hat Luffy?"

Russell smiled and said, "They're from the regular army, it's normal that Pakistan can't beat them."

"no,"

Bucky couldn't help but say, "That guy must be a peasant. I just don't know why Shanks' hat is in his hands."

"Do not......"

Russell would never forget the name Straw Hat Luffy. "Monkey D. Luffy, don't you recognize that name?"

Although I remember bits and pieces of the plot, I never forget the names.

Otherwise, how could he have the nickname Wang Lufei?

Many people jokingly refer to One Piece as a game where various second-generation pirates team up to play a pirate game.

The pirate crew that boasts the strongest connections on the sea is no joke.

"His father's name wouldn't be Garp, would it?"

Bucky had a look on his face like he'd just eaten shit.

"No."

Bucky breathed a sigh of relief; he had thought Garp, at his age, was suddenly going to become a father.

"That's his grandfather. His father's name was Monkey D. Long. I think he was a revolutionary."

"?"

The group of people on the boat were so shocked that they were speechless.

Many people may not know the name of the Admiral of the Navy, but the revolutionary Long is a very famous name.

Bucky was the first to react, tentatively asking, "Captain Russell, do you also have some kind of identity?"
