One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

Thinking about it, Nojiko was a little annoyed, "Why did you drag Nami into this that night?"

Russell shrugged. "She came in by herself."

Sending a head from a thousand miles away, the gift may be small, but the sentiment is profound.

Moreover, the arrow was already on the bowstring at that time.

"What, you still want to avenge Nami and plan to plant the bomb at point B?"

Russell patted Nochiko's shapely buttocks, eliciting a gasp from a woman. She then looked at Russell with a very puzzled expression, "What do you mean?"

It's best not to know.

Bertrand Russell smiled but said nothing.

Nojiko, having already experienced Russell's tendency to say things she couldn't understand, added, "Nami told me to tell you that she doesn't owe you anything after that flag was drawn."

Why don't you explain it yourself?

Russell lifted Nozigo's chin. "She draws so well, I should reward her properly."

As the man moved, Noki jumped and quickly grabbed Russell's hand, stammering, "That kind of reward won't do, she's not well yet."

This man seems to prefer tormenting Nami to tormenting her.

After all, as a character with a name and a surname, the sense of immersion is a bit stronger.

Moreover, the little thief always manages to show that stubborn, never-give-up look, which makes it even more exciting.

However, the reward is a serious matter.

"The bonus I mentioned is that your wages will be paid as usual, and performance-based pay will be calculated separately. What are you thinking?"

Russell considered himself a conscientious entrepreneur who was absolutely fair in rewarding and punishing.

Noki moved her lips a few times, but could only lower her head.

Russell leaned close to her ear and whispered, "But since you brought it up yourself, I'll reward you."

"I did not mean that!"

"So what do you mean?"

"I......"

Nokiko hesitated for a long time, but finally gave up. She could feel Russell's restless hand on her lower back.

She was mentally prepared that this kind of thing would definitely not be a one-time occurrence, since she had already been labeled as Russell. However, the thought of having to stay in the room for several hours as a reward seemed like a waste of time.

"On the ship or in the room?"

She asked resignedly.

Although this woman always claims she was forced, she is more proactive than anyone else once she gets into the mood.

This is the kind of person who is all talk and no action.

"Dream on!"

He patted Nochiko's hip. "I still have to go out to sea."

Noki realized he had been tricked and could only angrily bite Russell's hand in frustration.

"captain."

Ella walked over at some point, glanced at Nojiko, and said with no change in expression, "The matter is settled, the supplies are all packed, and we are ready to set sail at any time."

"Hmm, well done."

Russell stood up, glanced at the flags hanging on the sails and masts, and shook them in the sea breeze as if he knew he was about to set sail.

The black flag fluttered in the wind, and the crimson flames on the demon skull seemed to come alive, dancing around.

"Men, prepare to set sail!"

"Oh!" the pirates exclaimed excitedly.

Pirates make a living on the high seas. They usually miss the land when they are at sea, and after resting on land for a few days, they miss the sea again.

Before leaving, Russell instructed Nojiko to plant the mass-produced pirate flags in those villages.

From now on, he is a pirate with his own territory.

Of course, it's still in the development stage.

Whether it's the East Blue, the Grand Line, or the New World, Russell wants his own territory. His ambition far surpasses that of the Four Emperors who only develop their own territories in the New World.

This is the world I want!

I believe it won't be long before the Demon Pirates' reputation resounds throughout the sea.

Russell wasn't worried that these people would dare to break their contracts after he left. When their reputation spread throughout the seas, they would be eager to have the Demon Pirates' flag for protection.

Hoist the pirate flag, set sail, and embark on your journey.

I'm already missing life at sea after just a few days. People really can't stay idle.

The pirates outside are still singing that song.

The film is an adaptation of the same name, "Captain Russell".

Did I have a talent for being a singer?

Knowing that the old man Garp was in the East Blue, Russell didn't want to run into him yet, so his goal was quite clear: first, to take a stroll through the black market in the East Blue, then go directly to the Bridge Kingdom to modify his ship, and finally cross the Reverse Mountain to head to the Grand Line!

In the conference room, Bucky rubbed his hands together and asked, "Captain Russell, are we really going to the black market?"

Is there a problem?

Russell looked at Bucky and said, "You've been in the East China Sea for so many years, surely you know about the black market here?"

He's considered a pirate with a high bounty in the East Blue, so he probably spent a lot of time buying weapons and ammunition.

Cocoa West Village has spent a lot of money, so how can they not go and rob some things to get back?

Moreover, the black market is a place where all sorts of strange and unusual things can be found; you might even find something good there.

Bucky scratched his head and said, "There is one place."

"explain."

Bucky pulled a crumpled nautical chart from his pocket and pointed to a small island in the southern part of the East China Sea:

"Corgia Island appears to be an ordinary trading port, but it has a huge black market underneath. Most of the shady transactions in the East Blue pass through there. Arms, slaves, intelligence, Devil Fruits... you can buy anything as long as you can afford it."

"They even have Devil Fruits?"

Russell became interested.

Bucky chuckled, "Yes, there are, but it depends on luck."

"Let's go there!"

Russell pointed to the location of Corgia Island and said boldly, "Before heading to the Grand Line, let's say hello to these guys first."

"The black market dealers themselves aren't the problem,"

Bucky hesitated for a moment and said, "But the boss behind that black market has some connections."

"What's their background?"

"They got involved with the Don Quixote family."

Buggy lowered his voice, "Donquixote Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is a big shot in the New World. He has a group of executives under him, and none of them are easy to mess with. The black market in the East Blue has to pay him tribute every year; it's considered one of his peripheral businesses."

Russell smiled.

Ah, an old acquaintance.

Who do you think it is? It turns out to be the newspaper reader.

Chapter 33 Ancient Species, Titanoboa

Doflamingo?

The so-called Seven Warlords of the Sea will eventually become Luffy's slowdown, and he'll end up staying in Impel Down reading newspapers all day.

Russell was initially not very interested, but after hearing that it was related to Doflamingo, he became somewhat interested.

To be honest, the String-String Fruit is actually pretty good; you can even become a puppeteer.

Secondly, it seems that the Donquixote Family also has quite a few Devil Fruit users.

If the other side sends its officers to hunt me down, wouldn't that be like Nami delivering herself to her death from afar?

He can accept it all!

Even if it were Doflamingo himself, he wouldn't be afraid!

Russell gave a meaningful smile.

Buggy's lips twitched slightly. "Captain, that's one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

For ordinary pirates, that's already the pinnacle of their abilities.

Russell turned to look at him. "Do you think I'm afraid of him?"
