One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

Even if I came here to steal it, you fired a shot at me before I even explained my purpose.

Is this some kind of new way of welcoming people?

"In the second round, all six cannons on the left and right sides fired simultaneously."

Ella stood on the second deck, directing operations.

With a series of booming sounds, the coastal defenses were quickly destroyed.

"Russell, the coastal defenses have been completely destroyed."

"Alright! Prepare to dock!"

As soon as Russell finished speaking, Ella turned around and found that the person who had been standing at the bow of the ship had disappeared.

"Russell... Captain Russell?"

Ella called out twice instinctively, but there was no response.

Bucky spread his hands and pointed to the cannonball that had been fired, "Boss, Captain Russell has already flown over there."

A cheer immediately erupted on the deck.

"Long live Captain Russell!"

"Flying over on cannonballs would be so cool!"

"Captain, when will you teach me? Hey, don't push, don't push, let me see!"

In the distance, a shell streaked across the sky, trailing black smoke, while Russell stood steadily on top of it, his hands in his pockets.

Even Bucky had to admit that his new captain was incredibly talented at showing off.

The shells struck the stone pier of the harbor with precision, blasting open a gap with a loud bang, sending debris flying and dust billowing everywhere.

Russell jumped down just before the shell hit, and as he landed, he pinned a guard who was trying to escape to the ground.

"Hey, who gave the order to fire just now?" he asked.

The guard was so frightened that he trembled all over and confessed everything.

"It's Lord Meland, Lord Meland from the Don Quixote family! He ordered me to fire the cannon as a warning! It has nothing to do with me!"

The Don Quixote Family?

I just heard that the black market here is related to the Don Quixote family, and now people are even coming to the East China Sea. It seems like I've encountered something quite good.

"Damn it, where did this pirate cannon fire come from?"

A tall, thin man in a flashy shirt was cursing.

As a member of the Donquixote Family, Morland, who had lived in the New World, naturally looked down on pirates from a small place like the East Blue.

There is also a hierarchy of contempt within the One Piece fandom.

Pirates in the New World look down on pirates in the first half of the Grand Line, while pirates in the other four seas are at the bottom of the hierarchy.

So when he encountered the pirates from the East Blue, he ordered the cannons to fire and give them a warning, and Merland figured they wouldn't dare to say anything more.

Unexpectedly, the enemy's firepower was so fierce that the island's defenses were completely destroyed in an instant.

"This is outrageous! These lowly pirates from the East Blue dare to fight back? Wait till Lord Lao G comes out, he'll teach them a lesson! These bumpkins probably haven't even heard of the Donquixote Family..."

"Oh, so it was you who ordered the cannons to fire."

A voice came from beside him, startling Merland.

He then felt his body lift off the ground, then fall freely and slam into the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Russell glanced at Meland at his feet. "What bad luck. All my plans have been ruined."

Merland stared at the man before her in horror. "Who are you?"

"Can't you tell I'm a pirate?"

Russell looked at Morland at his feet and said, "Or is there something about me that doesn't resemble a pirate?"

That shouldn't be happening!

He has always acted like a pirate.

As a result, Morland at his feet became even more excited, clearly not thinking that Russell's image was related to pirates. Pirates are exposed to the elements and live a life of bloodshed on swords, unlike Russell who has such good skin.

Russell looked more like some aristocrat who had gone into business.

At this moment, Merland also realized what was happening and shouted, "You're the captain of that pirate ship, aren't you? I'm a member of the Donquixote Family."

When mentioning his identity, he had a sense of superiority on his face. He even worried that this bumpkin pirate from the East Blue might not know the Donquixote Family, so he specifically said, "Our young master is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. You know the Seven Warlords of the Sea, right?"

Russell smiled and said, "I know, I like the Seven Warlords of the Sea the most."

Most of the executives in that group are Devil Fruit users, except for a certain freak named Hawkeye. Russell really likes the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

If this guy is capable, he'd better call Doflamingo over!

Despite being a member of the Don Quixote family, Merland found himself completely unable to break free from the man's grip on his feet, and this fear made him struggle involuntarily.

Russell applied a little pressure, and Merland immediately became obedient.

Now he's more curious about...

"What are the Don Quixote family doing in the East China Sea?"

Merland: "Lord Rao G will not let you get away with this!"

At this moment, those who had been alerted by the artillery fire finally came out.

Wearing loose-fitting training clothes, sporting a large bald head, he cast a blank glance at me.

"Is the person he's talking about you?" Russell asked.

"Let him go."

Rao G glanced at Meland, who was being trampled on the ground by Russell, and said in a deep voice.

No matter what, Merland is still a member of the Don Quixote family.

Being trampled underfoot like this is a slap in the face to their entire family!

Russell casually kicked Merland aside and grinned, "I don't like people telling me what to do."

People can be so stubborn sometimes; if you ask me to do something, I'll refuse to do it.

If you're close to me, just say so.

Russell wasn't afraid of offending people; if pirates were afraid of this and that, they shouldn't have gone to sea.

Moreover, having too many lice makes one less itchy, and the fact that he killed a Celestial Dragon will be exposed sooner or later, at which point he will be chased by the Navy and the World Government every day.

What's wrong with having one more Shichibukai?

Chapter 35 Beast Instinct

Pirates grow stronger through trials of blood and fire.

Russell himself is a good example. After leaving the island, he fought against several strong opponents one after another, and improved a lot compared to before.

Like Bucky and his crew, their strength is constantly improving through daily training and battles with enemies.

Pirates aren't afraid of not having any fights, they're afraid of not being able to win.

No matter what you do, the advantage of consistently dominating will become enormous.

"Young man, don't be so arrogant. The world is bigger than you think. Someone as arrogant as you won't live long."

Rao G. didn't look too good; it would be strange if someone who had just been slapped in the face looked good.

"If we're talking about arrogance, Doflamingo is the real arrogance. I bet he's still alive and well."

Upon hearing Russell mention the young master's name, a glint flashed in Rao G's eyes. The person before him did not seem like a fledgling pirate.

"Old Fu Lao G, a member of the Don Quixote family."

As a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he's seen the world.

So he tentatively asked, "Young man, you look unfamiliar. When did someone like you emerge from the East Sea? What do you want to do?"

Russell grinned. "Me? A pirate. Robbery. Got it?"

He wasn't interested in Rao G; the guy didn't seem to be a Devil Fruit user.

Compared to the person in front of him, Russell sensed that there was a stronger opponent somewhere.

This represents progress in perception.

“Stop blocking the way and call the other person out,” Russell said.

Does this guy know Vergo is here?

Rao G. suspected that Russell had some ulterior motive for coming here. Could he be a rival force to the Don Quixote family?

Doflamingo is known as the Joker, but he is not the only one who reigns supreme in the underworld of the New World.

By this time, the Snowdrift had landed at the port, and the pirates rushed off the ship, shouting various slogans, among which the name of the Devil Pirates was particularly loud.

The pirates of the Demon Pirates were all incredibly excited.
