One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

Navy... forget about the Navy.

Although he always grumbled about the island that trapped him, Russell had already come to regard it as his own territory.

Everything on this island should belong to him.

Before he could even cause trouble for the Celestial Dragons, they came looking for trouble for him first.

He has a very strong desire for revenge.

"Do the Celestial Dragons consider this place their property? Did they even ask me, the owner?"

Russell's blood began to boil.

You're a Celestial Dragon, right?

Do I need to avoid those pig-like bastards?

Besides, this is the East Blue, separated from Marineford by the entire Red Line. Even if Kizaru, the fastest of the three, received the news and rushed over, it would be impossible to know when.

At that moment, a slight noise appeared not far away.

Russell stomped on the snake's head.

The giant snake understood and slowly rose up, carrying the two of them.

Looking down from the treetop, Russell saw many figures scattered in the distant forest, ragged and hunched over, each with a look of terror on their faces.

"Are these all slaves like you?" Russell asked.

The girl paused for a moment, then nodded.

This reminded Russell of a game played by the Celestial Dragons.

The Hunt of the Gods?

One of the Celestial Dragons' favorite pastimes was to drive slaves to a deserted island and then hunt them down like animals for their amusement.

This is Lao Tzu's territory!

I haven't even tried to rob you Celestial Dragons yet, and you dare to rob me?

Chapter 2: Let's fight the Celestial Dragons first.

Holy crap!

I've never seen anyone so arrogant in my life.

Well, I actually saw him today.

"This isn't a traditional hunt by the gods; it's a small-scale hunt that two Celestial Dragons wanted to conduct privately. They chose a secluded, uninhabited island, unaware that there are other people on it," the girl said.

"They'd be more excited if there were other people around, right?" Russell countered.

The girl did not refute.

The Celestial Dragons are a bunch of freaks; they can't be understood using normal human thinking.

Russell paused on the snake's head beneath his feet, and the giant snake emitted a tremendous hiss that echoed through the forest and reverberated throughout the entire island.

Then the ground began to shake.

Various enormous animals appeared.

Dozens of colossal beasts, each at the top of the food chain on this island, were now all prostrating themselves before Russell.

The animals in this world are very intelligent; after being beaten by him for over twenty years, they have long been subdued.

Do you even understand the true value of being an island owner?

The girl stared blankly at the scene. Was this animal control?

Still saying you're not a power user?

"What are you trying to do?" the girl asked Russell, who was looking at her menacingly.

Russell didn't look like someone going to make friends with Celestial Dragons, and an absurd idea popped into her mind.

He wants to take down the Celestial Dragons?

"That's obvious. How can they treat my island like a playground? What's your name? Tell me what's going on here."

Russell asked, "Has the navy arrived? How many troops do they have? As long as there's no admiral or that freakish vice admiral, we'll go and take them out!"

I've heard of Haki, but it's too abstract. I don't know how to train it. If I don't even have Haki, fighting a Logia-type is just suicide.

As for the freak Garp, do you think the East China Sea is called the most peaceful sea area?

It's because this old guy comes back for a stroll every now and then!

The girl stared at Russell, seemingly trying to see through his thoughts, but he didn't seem to have any awe or fear towards the so-called Celestial Dragons.

“Ella,” she said, stating her name.

They also informed the group of Celestial Dragons of the situation.

Two Celestial Dragons arrived, accompanied by about fifty fully armed guards. There were no Marines, let alone an Admiral.

"Because it was a private hunting activity, it was not carried out in a big way."

"Two Celestial Dragons?"

Russell raised an eyebrow. "You mean those two Celestial Dragons dare to come and take my island?"

Ella nodded, looking at Russell as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

She couldn't help but ask, "If that's the case, are you still going?"

"Why not go?" Russell countered.

The Celestial Dragons are like gods to the people of this world, beings who cannot be offended.

but,

Bertrand Russell isn't from this world!

A bunch of trash dare to cause trouble on his turf, so they should be prepared for his retaliation.

"So you're saying there are only two Celestial Dragons, and not even any Marines, sneaking around here for a hunting game?"

Russell rubbed his hands together, then suddenly remembered something, "Do they offer prizes for these kinds of events?"

Ella was speechless. Would a normal person ask these questions?

It's because Russell wasn't a normal person.

He knew that Kaido, the famous teacher, had snatched his Devil Fruit from Big Mom during the Celestial Dragons' God Hunt.

Perhaps this is his Valley of the Gods?!

According to Ella, one of the Celestial Dragons brought more than thirty slaves, while the other Celestial Dragon brought a Devil Fruit as a prize for the hunt.

Really!

Russell became excited.

The giant snake mother beneath their feet and the enormous beasts around them thundered toward the sea.

"By the way, are those wings of yours real?"

Standing atop the snake mother's head, Russell reached out to pluck at Ella's black wings, finding them surprisingly pleasant to touch.

Ella's wings snapped open. "Of course it's true! No, you...!"

Ella gritted her teeth. "My wings are part of my body. Is what you're doing a pervert?!"

"I've already said that everything on this island belongs to me, including you. Why are you making such a fuss?"

Russell pinched the base of the wing without hesitation; the feathers felt both soft and resilient.

Yes, it's genuine.

He doesn't like counterfeit goods.

Russell pinched it, then suddenly squatted down to look at Ella's foot and touched it.

Ella gasped in surprise.

Then they discovered that Russell had actually reached for the shackles on her feet.

"This thing is very hard."

"Of course, this is sea stone."

"Are you an ability user?"

"No, but..."

Ella paused for a moment, seemingly unwilling to bring up the matter. Watching Russell try to reason with her, she said, "It's useless. Besides being effective against Devil Fruit users, Seastone is incredibly sturdy. Trying to use it barehanded..."

Click.

The cracking sound was exceptionally crisp.

Ella turned her head stiffly.

What are you trying to say?
