One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

Since Captain Russell has said he wants to take this place, then let's take it!

"The Devil Pirates... Are you the captain of the newly appeared Devil Pirates in the East Blue?"

Rao G frowned.

I remembered the newspaper I had read with Vergo in the room earlier, about the newly formed pirate crew in the East Blue whose captain had set a bounty of 50 million Berries.

So this is the young man in front of me.

"So it's true that you only gain fame after a bounty is placed on your head."

Russell smiled with satisfaction, then hoisted Muramasa onto his shoulder, saying, "You're blocking my way."

That disdainful look made Rao G clench his fists.

The Demon Pirates.

I remember now, he also told Vergo that the young master might be interested in this kind of person.

It now seems that they are interested, and the other side has no intention of letting them go.

Rao G had no intention of giving way. "Young man, I admit you have some guts. To be able to put up a 50 million bounty in a place like the East China Sea, you are indeed no ordinary person. But let me give you a piece of advice: 50 million won't even make a ripple in the New World."

He assumed a starting stance, stepping forward with his left foot and pushing forward with his right palm. "I'm in a good mood today, and considering your youth, I'll give you a chance."

"Stop now, and I can put in a good word for you with the young master. With your strength, wouldn't joining the Donquixote Family be better than being a small-time pirate in the East Blue?"

Russell merely glanced at him before striding past him.

"Hey, don't ignore me!"

Rao G was furious.

But Russell waved his hand without turning his head, "This guy is pretty good, you can practice on him, Ella."

Before the words were finished, a sharp whooshing sound rang out in the air.

A chain tore through the air, whistling through the air, and came across Rao G. with perfect precision.

The chains snapped taut with a sharp clang, abruptly halting Rao G's advance.

Rao G's pupils contracted.

He looked up and saw a white-haired, red-eyed girl flying from the direction of the port. Behind her, a pair of huge black wings unfolded in the sunlight, and a shockwave was stirred up the moment she landed.

"Your opponent is me."

Ella's voice was calm, and her face showed no extra emotion.

Rao G's pupils dilated slightly.

White hair, red eyes, black wings...

The well-informed Rao G instantly recognized the feature—a race that should have been extinct.

Lunarians!

Rao G's voice couldn't hide his excitement, "There are still living Lunarias. If we capture you and present you to the young master, he will be very happy."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Ella swung the iron chain in her hand, and the chain, made of sea stone, swept across with a heavy whooshing sound. Rao G was forced to take half a step back and cross his arms to block.

"Good! Good! This power is indeed from the Lunaria race!"

He grinned, "I haven't stretched my muscles in a while, so don't collapse too soon!"

"Wait until you break Ella's defenses before saying that."

Over there, Russell walked at a leisurely pace.

"Damn it, how dare you ignore me like this!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ella's attacks came one after another.

why?

Of course, it's because there are guys here who interest me more!

The street ahead was eerily quiet and gloomy, making one feel incredibly uneasy.

"Come out, what are you doing hiding here like a mysterious figure?"

Russell raised an eyebrow. "You don't think you've hidden it very well, do you?"

Then, a person slowly emerged from the shadows.

He was tall and slender, dressed casually, with his hands behind his back and wearing sunglasses.

If you didn't tell me, it would be hard to imagine that this is a navy officer who is about to become a vice admiral.

Vergo.

How did you find me?

Vergo seemed particularly concerned about this.

"I've always had a good intuition about the existence of wild beasts."

Russell wasn't in a hurry. He looked the man in front of him up and said, "It's too abrupt for a man like you to be here."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

This guy is a pretty good practice subject.

Compared to Rao G, Vergo was more acutely aware of the threat posed by Russell.

He slowly pulled out a black bamboo stick from behind him, held it in his hand, and found it to be heavy, clearly not made of ordinary bamboo.

The man claimed to have the aura of a wild beast about him, but wasn't the other person the same?

"Who are you, and what is your purpose?" Vergo asked.

Russell remained silent, only watching Vergo with interest. "He's clearly a Marine, yet he's hanging out with pirates. If Morgans finds out, tomorrow's headlines will be quite something."

The World Economic News Agency is most enthusiastic about reporting on this kind of thing.

Especially news like this that makes the Navy lose face—a pirate infiltrating the Navy and almost becoming a high-ranking officer—will he eventually be made Fleet Admiral?

Chapter 36 The Prophets

When Russell pointed out that he was a Marine, Vergo's expression changed, but he wasn't overly surprised.

After all, he was about to become a vice admiral and would occasionally appear in newspapers and be reported on.

"A dignified rear admiral is actually an undercover agent planted by Doflamingo within the Navy. If the Navy knew that Doflamingo's reach was so far, I wonder what kind of expression they would have."

Russell's single sentence revealed Vergo's true identity, and Vergo's usually composed face finally crumbled.

"How did you know?!" Vergo exclaimed, both shocked and furious.

His true identity should absolutely not, and should not, be known to outsiders.

"Surprised?"

Russell chuckled, “I also know quite a few interesting things, such as the identity of your young master.”

A wicked smile appeared on his face.

If one truly possesses the ability of foresight, this is how it should be used: observe the other party's vulnerable expression after their secret is exposed.

There are quite a few people who know the secrets of this sea.

It's like a secret between Crocodile and Ivankov.

Im conceals the history of a great war that took place eight hundred years ago.

The One Piece, which Roger's pirate crew saw.

......

In contrast,

"The fact that Doflamingo is a Celestial Dragon is, in my opinion, a trivial matter," Russell laughed.

what?

Vergo was horrified upon hearing this.

If this man knows even something like this, he's definitely not an ordinary person.

Vergo: "Who are you?!"

Russell shrugged and said, "An ordinary person who became a pirate out of interest."

One sentence almost broke Vergo's defenses again; it was practically the same as saying nothing at all.

Knowing he wouldn't get any more information, Vergo stopped talking, took off his jacket and tossed it aside, revealing his muscles.

Then his upper body turned completely black.

Armament Haki hardening... and the coverage area is astonishingly large, from the neck to the waist and abdomen, from the arms to the fingertips, every inch of skin gleams with a cold, hard metallic sheen.

"Advanced Armament Haki smells really good."

Russell chuckled; at that moment, Vergo was almost like a delicious meal to him.
