One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

Upon opening, the box contained a sophisticated mechanical device made of brass and steel, with tightly meshed gears and a peculiar turbine structure at its core.

Russell picked it up and examined it closely. Although he was not a professional craftsman, he could tell that the craftsmanship of this item was quite high.

He summoned Belit.

That's why science changes the world; this kind of power device has a wide range of applications.

"A genius is the one who designed this thing!" Bucky shouted.

He was also a man who had developed Pakistani bombs, so he naturally knew how advanced the technology was.

"Who designed this thing?" Russell asked, looking at Belit.

"These are samples we brought from the Kingdom of the Bridge; they're Gale's invention!"

Belit quickly said, "That old fellow was originally a good craftsman, but he was too stubborn and disobedient, which is why he was exiled to the Kingdom of Bridges to repair bridges."

“Bucky, is that the person you were talking about?” Russell asked.

“That’s him, that guy’s pretty famous.” Bucky nodded vigorously.

I had previously considered capturing the other party to make them my subordinate, but the other party was in the kingdom.

We can't exactly attack the kingdom.

Bucky doesn't have that power yet.

"Hmm? What brings you here? Want the Navy to give you a ride?"

As Hawkeye approached, Russell joked.

"You've completely destroyed the warships, like a locust swarm passing through." Hawkeye glanced at them, expressionless.

At this moment, Major General Duran, who was pinned to the ground, felt as if the sky had fallen.

Aren't the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Navy allies?

Why do Russell and Hawkeye have such a good relationship?

As Admiral Akainu was right.

Once a pirate, always a pirate!

"He seems to have quite a bit of strength."

Russell chuckled, grabbed Rear Admiral Duran's head, and soon the once energetic admiral collapsed, looking utterly exhausted, and passed out.

Comfortable.

Russell felt like he had maxed out the Star Absorption Technique.

Hawkeye was watching from the sidelines and knew that this was one of Russell's abilities.

"So, what do you want? I can share some with you," Russell said generously.

Hawkeye shook his head. "I'm not interested in money."

Russell curled his lip. "If you can't come up with the money, I won't let you off the ship so easily."

Hawkeye said, "I can easily come up with 100 million Berries. I can find you a few wanted criminals on the Grand Line."

Russell: "..."

He asked, "When you're short of money, do you usually work as a bounty hunter?"

Hawkeye nodded indifferently.

Can't we have some of the prestige of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

Russell muttered to himself.

Chapter 54 What Pirate King? He's the King of the World!

The sweep lasted for more than half an hour.

The Snard returned laden with spoils; the gold from the sky, along with various supplies and weapons, was roughly estimated to be worth over three billion Berries.

The navy warship was swarmed around like locusts, with even the spare canvas being torn away.

Back on the Snard, they immediately accelerated and left the area.

Braving the wind and waves, the water quickly swept over both sides of the boat.

The basic principle of pirates is to grab and run; otherwise, the Navy will attack like a mad dog.

The lively sounds on the ship never stopped. After all, this was a big deal, and even a little bit of profit would be enough to fill everyone's stomachs. Many people hadn't even recovered from the joy of splitting the money last time, and this time they were stuffed to the brim again.

The luxurious and spacious hall, originally a venue for the Celestial Dragons to watch performances, is now being used by Russell as a place to distribute bonuses.

It's like a rich dog giving out red envelopes during Chinese New Year.

The pirates lined up to receive their share.

Even the ship's technicians had a share, and they were all wide-eyed when they found out.

Without having to fight, and receiving my salary, this job is already pretty good.

It's important to know that in the vast majority of pirate crews, their work positions are essentially those of slaves.

How did the pirates train Deadpool?

I don't understand, so I'm teaching you now.

If there were a real all-out war and a shortage of manpower, these people would probably dare to come out armed with guns and knives.

"Thank you, Captain!"

"loyalty!"

"Captain Russell, are you going to rob one of the Four Emperors next?!"

A group of pirates were extremely excited.

At the round table in front, Russell laughed and scolded, "With your strength, you dare to fight for the Four Emperors? You're already dead before the fight even starts."

Small fry are not qualified to go to the battlefield.

The specific allocation is being coordinated by Bucky over there, while the remaining cadres, Ella and the Snake Mother, are here, working on the power blueprint.

Russell asked them to think about whether they could install the power unit on a person... or rather, on a beast unit.

This is a bit difficult for the snake mother.

She had only just learned to speak, and these things looked like gibberish to her.

"Technology can stabilize the lower limit, while knowledge can raise the upper limit. You should read more books when you have time."

Russell vigorously rubbed the snake mother's head as she leaned in, then looked at Ella.

"Ella, find an opportunity to spread the word in the underworld that you're buying Devil Fruits at high prices, as many as you can get."

Devil Fruits are rare on the high seas, and those that appear on the black market are generally not of good quality.

Even so, it is still extremely difficult to obtain.

In the ocean, for ordinary people, only Devil Fruits can defy fate.

However, if you have the money, you can still buy some good stuff.

If all else fails, information about Devil Fruits will do; if it's on the way, just go and steal them!

Such a high-profile act, as if afraid the Navy and the World Government wouldn't be able to find their trail, Hawkeye swirled his wine glass and said, "You stole the Celestial Gold, the World Government won't let this go easily."

"Will they just let it go after killing the Celestial Dragons?"

Russell chuckled and retorted, "For that group, the most vulnerable are the spineless cowards who give in. If you're going to be tough, be tough enough that they won't dare touch you!"

Hawkeye nodded in agreement with this theory.

Otherwise, why would he have been able to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

"If you have too many lice, you won't feel itchy. They can come whenever they want. I think the navy is similar to the transport captain. To be honest, the navy's supplies are really plentiful."

Russell casually picked up the wine glass next to him, took a sip, and looked at Hawkeye, saying, "But you, standing so brazenly on my ship, aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the Navy? You are one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

The major general looked like he was about to kill Hawkeye when he saw him appear.

"They won't."

"So confident?"

"The status of a Shichibukai is not something the Navy can simply remove; the World Government needs this system."

That's true.

In the eyes of the World Government, the Navy is nothing more than a watchdog that can be used.

Hawkeye finished the last bit of red wine in his glass. "I think they care more about you now. Maybe you'll receive an invitation from the World Government in a few days."

"What invitation?"

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea".

Russell laughed out loud.

Ella, standing nearby, couldn't help but ask, "They killed the Celestial Dragons, stole the Celestial Gold, and then invited Russell to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
