One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

It's no wonder it's a wine worth millions of pesos; the taste is indeed excellent.

"Our goal is to first go to the Bridge Kingdom, find a shipwright to modify our current ship, and then head to the Grand Line," Ella said succinctly.

"You're interesting. I've seen people like you in the New World years ago."

Hawkeye noticed Ella's appearance.

Such a striking feature is hard to miss.

Ella's expression flickered slightly, then gradually returned to normal.

It no longer mattered whether any of her people were alive or not; she would spend the rest of her life serving Russell until he achieved his ambitions.

"Haha, you mean Kaido's subordinates, right? Yeah, Isla, I'll take you to meet them when we get to the New World, but there's a high chance we'll have to fight them."

Russell said with a smile.

Kaido's Mythical Zoan types, including the group of Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit users under his command, are like a bunch of big gift packages waiting to be unpacked in his eyes, and no one can resist such temptation.

He was no exception.

"Does entering the New World mean we have to go to war with the Four Emperors?" Hawkeye asked.

He didn't think Russell's idea was naive. Pirates entering the New World only have two choices: either join the Four Emperors or be used as a speed bump by them.

The New World has only so much territory, and the existing structure is already set. How could it allow new pirates to divide up the land?

I just think Russell's choice of target was a bit too bold.

Currently, if Hawkeye were to choose a target, he certainly wouldn't choose Kaido or Big Mom, both of the Four Emperors who are at their peak.

As for Shanks... his Ironclad Pirates are not to be trifled with either.

Upon closer examination, the best target is actually the Whitebeard Pirates, who are known as the strongest man in the world and are the easiest to deal with.

The captains under his command and the captains of the Grand Fleet were not very strong, and Whitebeard himself was old, with various old injuries, and was on IV drips every day.

"Who said my target is Kaido?"

Russell smiled and said, "My goal is all the Four Emperors! This kind of grand scheme of things has been going on for far too long. Hawkeye, don't you get tired of it? The so-called Great Pirate Era is a complete misnomer."

“A very bold idea.” Hawkeye nodded in approval and said, “Are you really not a member of the D clan? This kind of restless energy is just too similar.”

"The D clan?" Ella asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Haha, you also know the meaning of the D clan?" Russell looked at Hawkeye.

Hawkeye shrugged noncommittally. "My castle has some notes, which should be part of history. Anyway, guys with the title 'D' are all unstable factors on this sea... The most famous one is Roger, right? Gol D. Roger, no, he should be called Gol D. Roger."

"I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. If you weren't a swordsman, would you be interested in becoming a historian?"

Russell said, "Unfortunately, my name doesn't have a D in it. I can only blame my adoptive father for not knowing that the name D has so many meanings."

He didn't believe in the idea that the D clan was destined to be the enemy of the gods.

Even without D, they are still their enemies; it's their own fault for being so blind as to seize their territory.

The best thing about Bertrand Russell's personality was that he held grudges.

Why should this world belong to the Celestial Dragons just because they've plundered it? The current World Government is no longer effective, so it needs to be replaced.

They even went so far as to create a throne that symbolizes the decentralization of power.

He's very honest. After taking over this world, wouldn't it be better to sit down openly and honestly?

They sailed along the way, expanding their territory as they went.

He will travel to the four seas, the first half of the Grand Line, and then to the New World. When he plants his flag on the territory of the New World emperors, his flag will fly all over the world.

It's uncertain who will be in charge of the world government at that time.

Do you have as many member states as I do?

Russell wanted to challenge the world government.

Cocoyasi Village is a pilot project. Of course, the world government may not care about such small countries, but if there are more such small villages, who says that countries won't join?

By the time the world government realized what was happening... Russell's flag had already become a vast ocean!

Chapter 48 Torn Apart, an Overpowered Support Fruit

For Russell, the East China Sea was merely a platform to reach a larger world.

He wanted to see more Devil Fruits, and only the Grand Line could satisfy his desire.

It is both a graveyard and a paradise for pirates.

The mere existence of an Ancient Zoan has already boosted his strength dramatically. If he were to acquire another Mythical Zoan or several more God-level Devil Fruits, it's unimaginable what level his power would reach.

Moreover, Russell was also paying attention to something: whether the Shape-Shape Fruit, Smooth-Smooth Fruit, Chop-Chop Fruit... which he had plundered, had been transformed into fruits again and eaten by others.

If we were to encounter it, what would be the effect of plundering the same fruit a second time?

The pirates nearby were also excitedly shouting.

Heading to the Grand Line, the New World... that means being able to plunder even more treasure.

High risk, high return.

Pirates have always been a profession.

"Not enough."

Hawkeye bluntly poured cold water on their enthusiasm, saying, "You're too weak."

Aside from the group of alien beasts empowered by the Russell-type Devil Fruit, the only other pirate he could possibly respect was Ella, whose racial advantages were obvious.

However, without Captain Russell, this group wouldn't even be considered third-rate pirates if they ventured into the Grand Line or even the New World.

Even when their weaknesses were pointed out so bluntly, Bucky and his friends couldn't refute a single word.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea represent authority in the eyes of most pirates.

"That's right, it seems like we're still not working hard enough. Let's adjust our wake-up time from 5 a.m. to 4 a.m. tomorrow."

Russell laughed loudly, "The training needs to be doubled. Your goal is to smash iron-filled sandbags to pieces before you graduate."

The pirates let out a wail.

As a result, Russell immediately brought up the story of Garp smashing the warship.

"You guys want to train like Karp?" Russell raised an eyebrow.

The pirates shook their heads.

Are you kidding me? Shoot down a warship?

That's no longer human.

“Hey, if your physiques meet the requirements, I can give you all the same transformations as the Snake Mother and the others. Your strength will undergo a dramatic change,” Russell said.

The power granted by the Shape-Shape Fruit will later become the Devil Pirates' strongest trump card.

They don't need to learn any special techniques or domineering abilities; just improving their physical strength is enough.

At that time, the true line of the Beasts Pirates might just be with him.

Currently, the only ones with potential in the Demon Pirates are Isla, Snake Mother, and Buggy.

Without the Devil Fruit, Buggy seemed to have shed a burden, and his physical skills improved rapidly.

He's a tough guy who fought against the Whitebeard Pirates for days and nights during his apprenticeship, so he has a solid foundation.

As a member of the Devil Pirates, one must develop in all aspects.

Both practical experience and theory are important in this regard.

"So, while there are real combat subjects on board, take the time to observe and learn carefully."

Russell fixed his gaze on Hawkeye, a smile playing on his lips.

"You don't want to be bored all the time, do you?"

Clearly, Hawkeye is a top-tier sparring partner.

Many of his Devil Fruit abilities are quite effective against Hawkeye.

It's the slippery fruit again, and the split-in fruit again.

Hawkeye represents the most common type of class in the Grand Line, and it is also the most lethal.

Swordsman.

The experience gained from Hawkeye will be applicable when facing other sword masters.

Moreover, apart from Ella, no one on the ship could withstand Russell's punches and kicks.

It's not good to always use Ella as a punching bag.

Hawkeye is happy to be a sparring partner when he has nothing else to do. Besides the favor he owes Bucky and Shanks, Hawkeye is also curious to see how far Russell can go.

Those Devil Fruits are really interesting.

The harder you work, the luckier you get.

At first, Russell didn't believe this claim. People were already on a desert island, what luck could they possibly have?
