One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

"We need to be quick. If the navy finds out we're here, it'll be difficult if they turn on us."

Aside from those great pirates who have established their own territories, most other pirates basically operate on a hit-and-run basis. If they accidentally let the Navy know their location, it would mean a massive army would be pressing in.

Generally speaking, it won't be as powerful as the Buster Call, but it won't be too weak either.

Given the Devil Pirates' current reputation and achievements, they are at least Navy Vice Admirals.

Who else is a vice admiral in the East China Sea besides Garp?

If that mad dog-like guy comes,

"You don't have time to leisurely drink red wine on my ship."

Russell returned to the ship, and his words caused Hawkeye, who was swirling his wine glass, to frown slightly.

Because that statement is indeed correct.

His coffin ship was destroyed by Garp, and without a means of transportation, returning to the New World would be very troublesome.

I can't exactly swim back.

"What do you want? With your current strength, it's hard for you not to be captured by Garp."

"..."

Upon hearing Hawkeye's words, Russell did not refute them.

The old man's authority over this sea is still too strong.

Forget about advanced applications of Haki, I haven't even mastered Observation Haki yet, and I don't even know if I have the talent that only one in a million possesses.

Conqueror's Haki, that's the ticket to becoming a sea emperor.

But who knows what will happen? Just because it doesn't happen now doesn't mean it never will.

The Straw Hat crew's Black Leg cook, who appeared out of nowhere in the early stages, possessed that kind of talent.

"Your Observation Haki is very strong, isn't it? I just learned Armament Haki, but I can't fall behind in Observation Haki either. Let's practice."

Russell drew his sword immediately.

The simplest and most direct way to deal with danger is, of course, to become stronger and then resolve the danger.

"You haven't mastered Observation Haki yet?"

Hawkeye was somewhat surprised to hear this.

During our previous encounter, his extraordinary sensitivity felt no different from Observation Haki.

"At that level, after a few near-death experiences, the body reacts instinctively, more like a fighting instinct," Russell readily admitted.

What he said is true.

There is a difference between active and passive use, and it's hard to say which is more noble, but active skills should still be learned.

Moreover, Hawkeye is a great test subject.

A guy who can exchange sword techniques with Shanks is no less skilled in Observation Haki.

After all, Shanks' Observation Haki... that's called Observation Kill, a high-level application of Conqueror's Haki.

They've come a long way in terms of mastering Observation Haki; if they can't block a casual attack, they're done for.

"That's not impossible... It's only been a few days, and you've become even stronger. I'm very interested."

Hawkeye casually put down his wine glass and then drew his sword.

He has always been a man of few words and ruthless actions.

......

The fog over the Bridge Kingdom has not spread at all in the past few days, and the sun is visible for the rare reason.

Boom!

A massive black current shot into the sky.

"It's starting again."

Ella looked at the huge bridge not far away, her hands clasped in front of her chest. "You've already learned Observation Haki, haven't you?"

The battle between Russell and Hawkeye has caused two massive bridges to collapse.

The fight was too intense.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you. I have some understanding of this power called Observation Haki," Grace said casually from the side.

After a few days, she had become somewhat familiar with the so-called Demon Pirates.

Besides Captain Russell, there's the combatant Ella and the Snake Mother, a navigator named Bucky, and Grace herself—that makes up the entire crew.

The remaining pirates were actually not many, only twenty or thirty people. The main fighting force consisted of the twenty or so snake mothers leading the beast troops.

Apart from that, most of the crew on board were technical personnel.

A crew of cooks, repairmen, sailors, shipwrights... This is the first time I've ever seen a pirate crew like this.

"Once we set sail, there will be opportunities."

Ella glanced at Grace with some pity. As a shipwright, she had devoted herself to the renovation of the Snard these past few days, and the magnificent ship in front of her was the result of those few days.

However, it is normal for officers to concurrently hold positions such as navigator or shipwright; apart from that, combat is their primary duty!

I imagine that once they set sail, Grace will be able to experience Russell's insane training methods.

Every time she thinks about it, she can't help but feel weak in the knees.

That feeling of being completely drained is something no one wants to experience.

As the conversion of the warship neared completion, the prisoners were still somewhat reluctant to leave.

After all, compared to only being able to rest for a few hours a day before, the Demon Pirates only needed to modify the warship for 14 hours. They worked for 10 hours, rested for 10 hours, and had 4 hours of free time.

Because there were so many people, there was plenty of time.

This, this is not pirates!

Even so, they still harbor hostility towards pirates.

A person secretly found a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter), went to an empty house, and dialed for help.

Chapter 60 An Enviable Talent

"Lieutenant General Garp!"

On a dog-headed warship in the East Blue, a short, trainee marine rushed over with a Den Den Mushi (snail phone), shouting, "I've spotted the Devil Pirates!"

"Huh? Where did you get this information?"

Bellmare, who was being trained by Bogart, couldn't help but groan, "And that's none of your business! Don't make excuses for slacking off during training!"

Coby had a slightly embarrassed expression on his face. After leaving Luffy, he boarded Vice Admiral Garp's ship with Helmeppo.

For someone like him, who aspires to become a Marine Admiral and meet Luffy at the top, the prospects are undeniably bright.

However... Vice Admiral Garp's training methods were too inhuman; people almost died from them.

Koby couldn't take it anymore and made an excuse to escape for a while, only to hear a Den Den Mushi calling for help.

"You brat, stop slacking off!"

A figure descended from the sky, punched Coby on the head, and then took the Den Den Mushi. "Hello, hello, hello, this is Garp, this is Garp."

The Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) hung up immediately.

"Where is he?" Garp asked Koby, taking off his dog-head hat.

"Bridge Kingdom, Taqira Wolf!" Koby clutched his head, looking like he was about to cry. Vice Admiral Garp's fist really hurt!

Garp curled his lip. "What's that brat doing there? It's a place where criminals are exiled. He stole the Celestial Dragons' Celestial Gold and instead of obediently going to the Grand Line, he's doing his job."

They already stole the Celestial Dragons' Heavenly Gold in the East Blue; who knows what kind of commotion they'll cause when they go to the Grand Line?

Bogart walked over and asked, "Are we going? I heard that man is with Hawkeye."

Garp: "How did those two end up together?"

Bogart paused for a moment, then guessed, "Maybe Hawkeye doesn't have a ship to return to the New World?"

Garp paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. He knew he had to take the blame for this.

"I just heard that Hawkeye and Luffy had met, and I wanted to ask them something, but I couldn't help it," Garp said, scratching his head.

Bogart looked speechless.

Then, as the fighting went on, they capsized the other person's boat.

"Shall we go?" Bogart asked.

Garp said with a troubled expression, "Go ahead, go ahead. Sengoku has called so many times already. Oh well, so what if we robbed them? Those Celestial Dragons are just wasting their money anyway. At least the Devil Pirates can boost the local economy with their spending. I think those villages are pretty good..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bogart quickly interrupted, "Lieutenant General Garp, this is still not something we can talk about."

"Ah, is that so?"

"That's it."
