One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

Is this world government out of its mind?

If Hawkeye hadn't said that, Ella thought the person who said it was out of their mind.

Hawkeye shook his head. "The World Government has always acted solely based on its own interests. Doflamingo did something similar back then, and he still became a Shichibukai."

That's because Doflamingo was originally a Celestial Dragon.

But upon closer reflection...

Although Russell killed a Celestial Dragon, it seems that not many people know about it.

Now that they've stolen the Celestial Gold, the World Government might try to suppress the news and then recruit Russell as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

After all, the world government is like a tortoise.

Russell didn't say whether he was willing or not; it all depended on whether the World Government was that sincere.

To be honest, he wasn't really that interested in the title of Shichibukai.

Knowing the plot well, Russell knew that the Seven Warlords of the Sea would soon face a great purge.

Then the Seven Warlords of the Sea will be defeated one by one.

The terms "Heroes of the Sea" and "Seven Warlords of the Sea" have almost become synonymous with speed bumps.

Even without Straw Hat Luffy, Russell himself was quite envious of the Devil Fruit abilities of those Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Do you really think I should become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Russell asked his men.

"Be a king my ass! A captain is a man who will become the emperor of the seas!"

"Oh oh oh!"

"What Emperor of the Sea? He's the Pirate King!"

"What Pirate King? He's the King of the World!"

This is getting more and more outrageous.

But he likes people who want to hear the truth, so he'll say more!

"With your high-profile appearance in the East Blue, Garp will definitely come looking for you."

Hawkeye gave a reminder.

The old man started fighting with him simply because he glanced at him at sea.

Under the guise of a friendly exchange, the coffin ship that had been sailing across the ocean was caught in the crossfire and was sacrificed to the sea.

Hawkeye really wanted to stab Garp a few times.

"Naval hero Garp?"

Russell smiled. "That old man is indeed troublesome, a man who is about to retire running around everywhere. But soon he won't have time to bother us anymore."

I'm not the only pirate in the East Blue with a high bounty right now.

Ella replied, "Indeed, it's just you, Russell."

Russell paused, then patted his head.

It seems that Luffy was first given a bounty of 30 million Berries after defeating Arlong the Fishman.

He scattered the fishman's ashes beforehand.

Now that Luffy isn't even a wanted criminal anymore... Garp really has some free time!

Chapter 55 Weak, pitiful, and helpless

The Taqira Wolf is also known as the Bridge Kingdom.

The Laborer Country, located in the East China Sea, is one of the member states of the World Government. One of its tasks is to build a huge bridge connecting various parts of the East China Sea, but its most important purpose is to monitor and guard specific underwater volcanic areas.

The laborers who built the bridges mainly came from citizens of countries that refused to join the World Government, as well as criminals.

Grace was one of them.

The organization responsible for managing these prisoners wasn't a state organization, but rather something the prisoners privately referred to as "hyenas," which played a role similar to prison guards.

Having spent several years in the Bridge Kingdom, Grace knew the terrain very well, but the despairing thing was that even if she went to the port, it would most likely be blocked off by the hyenas.

Is being arrested and taken back the only option?

She is not reconciled.

Those ungrateful laborers who drove their master to his death, and the pack of hyenas behind them.

We must get revenge!

The hyenas were furious as they watched the fleeing girl ahead.

"That old man Gale is spouting complete nonsense!"

"What blind woman? Weak, pitiful, and helpless?"

"If we find that guy's body, we must take it out and give him a good beating."

The armed manager, watching the nimble girl fleeing ahead, was so angry that he cursed loudly.

They couldn't understand why this blind girl, whose eyes were white, could run as if on flat ground, even faster than them, who were able-bodied.

They could inflict massive casualties on their troops by occasionally turning around and using a small object.

The number of injured is countless, and incredibly, the enemy was even able to predict and dodge the gunfire.

However, after chasing for so long, Grace's running speed visibly slowed down.

"Hey, we're all here with our people, where can she run to? There's a bridge up ahead, right? If she's got the guts, she can jump off!"

One of the hyenas laughed loudly, thinking that Grace had no other way out.

Due to the climate of the Taqira Wolf, there is often fog, especially near the sea. As the fog gradually dissipates, the sea can be seen in the distance from the bridge.

"Wait, what's that?"

The other person's pupils contracted, and his hand pointing ahead trembled uncontrollably. "A ship...it's a ship."

"What's the big deal? Have those people from the Kingdom of Flaus returned?"

The ship was large and had a magnificent exterior.

At first glance, one might subconsciously assume that it is something only nobles possess, but when the wind howls and one looks closely, one can see that a huge pirate flag is actually flying on that massive sailing ship!

"It's pirates! It's a pirate ship!" the hyena cried out in terror.

The Kingdom of Bridge, though called a constituent republic, has no navy stationed there for protection. The only so-called armed force consists of the administrators responsible for guarding the criminals.

Actually, the people here aren't worried at all about pirates coming.

Because we're too poor!

It's so poor that even pirates wouldn't want to waste their time here.

Then this pirate ship arrived... It didn't look like some random small pirate crew at all.

The huge ship quickly arrived beneath the bridge.

"No, it's alright, they won't be here for a while."

Some people consoled themselves.

Before the hyenas could react, a series of whooshing sounds came from mid-air, and then a figure appeared on the bridge in front of them.

"It flew up?!"

The hyenas' eyes widened, and they immediately raised the guns in their hands.

Grace didn't know who had suddenly appeared in front of her; she only knew that gunshots rang out behind her, and that staying put would mean certain death.

So she reached out and tried to push it down.

"careful!"

"Be careful of what? Are you warning me?"

Russell grabbed Grace's hand, then glanced at the hyenas firing their guns not far away, somewhat annoyed. "These guys never learn. Haven't I told you before, I hate it when someone points a gun at me?"

You said that?

Has anyone heard of this?

Grace quickly realized that the man in front of her seemed even more terrifying, because in just an instant, she heard a series of screams, and then those people disappeared.

It was satisfying... but also terrifying.

"You're quite interesting. You shouldn't be able to see, but you seem to be able to see everything."

He reached out and waved his hand in front of Grace's eyes, his white eyes remaining completely still.

He must be blind.

"Is that Observation Haki?"

Sometimes, though you can't see, you can see more. A prime example is Admiral Fujitora, who later joined the Navy. Of course, now he's probably just a blind old man gambling in some casino.
