One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

But the next second, Bucky and his men rushed over and grabbed him, especially after seeing the Den Den Mushi in the communicator's hand, he showed a face full of smugness.

"Looking for help? How about Buggy-sama comes to your aid?"

Chapter 22 The Demon!

After a series of battles, Brandon, who was fighting Russell, glanced at the mechanical arm beneath his feet. Brigadier General White had been smoothly cut off, leaving only one arm.

And now,

"Who exactly are you?!"

Brandon's face was filled with terror. The blood-red sword had already pierced Brigadier General White's body, and soon, Brigadier General White's body withered, as if it had been drained dry.

That sword, isn't it a demon sword?

Among famous swords, this is the most dangerous type; if one is not careful, even the owner can be harmed by it.

But this person seems to have completely mastered the demon sword, and with a single sentence, "That's enough."

The demonic sword obeyed its command and obediently reverted to its normal form.

Is this guy some kind of great swordsman?

Brandon had never heard of such a person in the East Sea.

"Your turn,"

The deck instantly became bright, and then a blood-red shadow attacked.

Brandon drew his sword and barely managed to block, but he also had to pay some attention to the smooth ground beneath his feet.

That's right, it must be the Smooth-Smooth Fruit.

But what happened with the body splitting just now?

How can one person possess two abilities at the same time?

Boom!

The instant the two swords clashed, Brandon was pulled backward by the immense force.

This guy is incredibly strong.

I've lost count of how many times I've been sent flying; the opponent, using the force of the sliding impact, is completely unstoppable.

Brandon's back slammed into the massive sail, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, Russell walked over unhurriedly, looking calm and collected, but the look in his eyes as he stared at his prey sent chills down Brandon's spine.

"Do you really want to be an enemy of the World Government?!"

He angrily shouted, "Do you even know the fear of defying the entire world?!"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the man in front of him smile.

After realizing what had happened, even Brandon felt that his threat was somewhat absurd.

If Russell wasn't lying, then he killed both of those men.

Isn't this already a confrontation with the whole world?!

Just who is this guy? Even the Four Emperors wouldn't provoke a Celestial Dragon.

In the face of life and death, Brandon's pent-up emotions from dealing with the Celestial Dragons finally erupted: "Are you out of your mind? Who would bother arguing with those brainless idiots who will only cause a lot of trouble?!"

"Unfortunately, I just like to nitpick."

Bertrand Russell thought there were no normal people in the world.

Isn't that perfectly normal?

Everyone knows what kind of people the Celestial Dragons are, but they are all terrified of them, so they let the Celestial Dragons trample on their heads.

Therefore, neither the Navy nor these so-called CP0s possess that indomitable spirit.

In One Piece, you can still occasionally see newcomers with Conqueror's Haki, while in the Navy, there are only two old men who are about to die with this ability.

As for the so-called fear of being an enemy of the world government?

Russell's upbringing in another world taught him that a ruling class like the Celestial Dragons, who were incompetent and corrupt, should be removed from their positions.

Whoever sits, it doesn't matter who sits.

I wouldn't mind!

"Moreover, if CP0 and the Navy were all like you, it would actually be quite easy."

Of all the people Russell has dealt with since he set sail, only Bogart, whom he encountered before, impressed him with their strength.

As he plunders more and more abilities and integrates them in actual combat, he will only become stronger!

"Actual combat is obviously the best way to improve strength. With my current strength, I should be able to fight a vice admiral, as long as he's not a monster like Garp."

There's only one vice admiral like Garp in the Navy.

Russell judged that his strength and Bogart's strength were not too different. As a Marine who was able to fight the Rocks Pirates with Garp in God Valley, Bogart was quite qualified and strong.

"Life returned... Open!"

Having been driven to the brink of despair, Brandon roared and his figure gradually changed.

Life restoration is also a relatively useful ability in CP0.

It can freely control the body, hair, and internal organs. Once consciousness is infused into it, it can freely control any place.

Some people with large appetites consume large amounts of food quickly in this way.

This has also led to some other uses.

Brandon released all the energy he had accumulated in his body, causing his body to swell to more than twice its original size, with thick muscles and visible veins.

"A desperate gamble?"

Russell also knows this technique of draining all the body's strength, but now he concentrates his strength in a specific part of his body, such as his arm muscles or thighs.

This is something he honed through life-and-death experiences on a deserted island.

From Brandon's words, is this what they call the return of life?

pat!

Brandon vanished instantly, a huge gash burst open in the deck, all the power concentrated in this one strike, and a sharp edge could be faintly seen gathering in the air.

Sword Wind!

This is the so-called Flying Slash. Only by mastering this move can one truly transcend the swordsman's level of cutting through iron and be qualified to glimpse the legendary great swordsmen.

Brandenka had been at this level for a long time, but he never expected to break through it today, even when facing life and death.

I wasn't supposed to die!

The next second, the slash came down from Russell's body.

With a crash, a huge gash was cleaved in the middle of the ship, and the entire ship began to cave in from both sides toward the center.

"Success?!"

Brandon glanced suspiciously at the sword in his hand. If it had hit, why hadn't there been that cutting sensation?

"You're not as fast as me."

Russell, who had been split in two, suddenly spoke, and then his body glued back together.

The Split Fruit, if used properly, is comparable to the elemental transformation of Logia-type Devil Fruits.

"That's so, so cheating."

Brandon muttered to himself.

How can someone have so many abilities!

Hey.

Before Brandon could react, a hand suddenly grabbed him, covered his face, and lifted his body up.

"Don't waste it, your strength is not bad, I'll take you."

Although not a Devil Fruit user, the physique and abilities of a strong person are still a delicious feast, so Russell activated the ability of the Plunder Fruit.

"You, what exactly is your Devil Fruit power...?"

Brandon felt his power rapidly draining away, and he was terrified.

"Plunder everything; what's yours also belongs to me."

Plunder everything, plunder everything...

Is this even human?

No, this guy is clearly...

"Demon...demon!"

On this ship, the navy personnel, whose consciousness was still faintly intact, heard the word "demon" echoing in their ears after being rescued.

When he woke up, still not fully conscious, he was asked what kind of pirates had attacked him, and he blurted out...
