One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

Without Russell, the appearance of a pirate with a bounty of 30 million in the East Blue would definitely be a major event.

But now that Russell has basically wiped out most of the pirates with high bounties in the East Blue, why is the Navy still offering a bounty of 30 million?

The Devil Pirates' officers are certainly strong, but the rapid increase in their bounties is also related to Captain Russell.

Two hundred and thirty million Berries is enough to make someone a well-known pirate even in the New World.

The subordinates' bounties will increase as they do the things the captain does.

“Russell, look at this,”

Ella handed him the newspaper. "Straw Hat might have run into this guy."

Russell glanced at it with some surprise, "Former Shichibukai Hanafuda?"

Upon hearing the name, Bucky exclaimed, "Wasn't that guy dead?"

"What's going on?" Russell asked.

He didn't have much of an impression of that name, but he remembered all the names of the current Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"That guy was a veteran Shichibukai. He used to have a good relationship with Kaido, but he was defeated by a newcomer at the time, and then news spread that he was killed."

Buggy remarked, "That rookie pirate even rejected the invitation to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Upon hearing this, Russell vaguely remembered, "That newcomer is Fire Fist Ace, right?"

Bucky nodded. "I heard that guy is now a captain under Whitebeard."

He paused for a moment, then blurted out, "Actually, it's nothing special. I even had a few cuts from Whitebeard back then."

"Shave his beard?" Ella quipped.

She was used to Bucky's tendency to spout nonsense.

The surrounding pirates burst into laughter.

After joining the Demon Pirates, even veteran pirates of several decades will not be surprised to hear those once high and mighty names.

Navy Headquarters Commander?

They've even met naval heroes. Unless a marshal or admiral comes, these pirates will still charge at ordinary naval personnel.

A great pirate?

Hawkeye was eating hotpot and drinking with them on the ship, and it wasn't that difficult for his own captain to fight the other side.

Now, they only see the Four Emperors as capable of making them panic.

because,

"The captain will receive an invitation from the World Government, and he'll become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!" a pirate shouted excitedly.

"What Seven Warlords of the Sea? The captain's goal is to become the Emperor of the Sea."

After a brief argument, the shouts of the Pirate King rang out.

The atmosphere was undeniably lively.

"Should we accept the invitation from the World Government?" Ella asked as well.

Russell smiled and shook his head. "Becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is pointless. Who will we fight for after that?"

The World Government is a nouveau riche; all the pirate member states are too poor.

If he becomes one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who will he rob then?

Moreover, each of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is a speed bump. Luffy has the title of "Seven Warlords Killer" on his head. If he remembers correctly, Luffy's bounty started to soar after defeating Crocodile.

"A Shichibukai assassin? Hmph, thinking about it that way, I'd actually like to give it a try."

Russell muttered to himself.

Let's see if the title killer is more powerful, or if it's an absolute crushing of strength.

Okay, actually he just wanted to bully Straw Hat Luffy, but his grandfather Garp caused him trouble. Now that Garp can't beat him, it's not a bad thing for him to bully his grandson.

"Captain Russell!"

The pirate on scouting at the top of the mast shouted, "We've spotted a pirate ship!"

Upon hearing this, the pirates on the ship became excited.

Since leaving the Bridge Kingdom, the pirates had been holding their breath, and no matter how you look at it, they had fled in a sorry state. They had never suffered such humiliation since boarding the ship.

However, with the rise of the Demon Pirates, pirate ships became so rare that they were almost invisible from afar, and even the naval warships that used to be seen every few days became much less common.

We finally encountered a pirate ship, so why not vent our anger?

Ella took the binoculars and glanced at them, her expression turning somewhat strange.

"Russell, things have come at a convenient time."

"Well?"

Russell took the telescope and looked over; the first thing he saw was the ship's sign.

The prow is a giant ram's head!

The pirate ship's flag featured a skull and crossbones wearing a straw hat, clearly indicating it belonged to the Straw Hat Pirates.

"What a coincidence."

Russell's smile gradually became unrestrained.

I was just thinking about the straw hat and here it is.

"Men, bring the boat closer!"

At that moment, another pirate ship appeared on the distant horizon, and the Straw Hat crew's Going Merry was no match for it.

Boom!

Without thinking twice, they opened fire immediately. It felt like the Merry jumped up, and under the navigator's command, it dodged many shells.

However, the power and range of those cannonballs were a bit exaggerated; despite the great distance, several of them actually flew towards the Demon Pirates.

Ella leaped up, swung the iron chain in her hand, and the cannonball exploded in mid-air.

Then she landed on the deck.

"This feeling is like that of someone with superpowers."

"An ability user?"

Upon hearing these words, Russell's eyes lit up.

Ability person!

He loves it so much.

If someone in this world were to develop something like the Dragon Ball radar, capable of pinpointing the location of ability users, Russell would definitely want to steal it.

"But Captain, that ship... seems to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Buggy took a closer look and realized that the huge pirate ship chasing the Straw Hat crew looked like the former Shichibukai Hanafuda's ship.

"Isn't that perfect?"

Russell laughed heartily, "Let them know who the most powerful pirate in the East Blue is right now!"

Chapter 71 Nami: My Master

"Damn it, why is this guy sticking to me? Usopp! Fully swivel to the left!"

On the Going Merry, Nami, with her long orange hair, is giving orders.

Usopp was yelling loudly over there, while Zoro and Sanji were both wrapped in bandages and had injuries, clearly having just been in a battle.

Luffy looked defiant. "Nami, let me go fight that dinosaur man again. I definitely won't lose this time!"

"Zoro, cover his mouth."

At Nami's command, Zoro stuffed the bandage in his hand into Luffy's mouth; to be honest, he had wanted to do this for a long time.

"Damn it, the other ship's propulsion is obviously much better."

The Merry was just an ordinary dhow, barely a dozen meters tall and long, while the ship behind it was over thirty meters tall!

The enemy is slowly approaching from behind; seize the opportunity to fire artillery.

If we keep being chased like this, we'll be caught sooner or later, and then we'll end up as fish food!

Completely baffled as to why such a monster would appear in the East Blue and inexplicably cling to them, Nami couldn't help but question Luffy, "How did you provoke that monster?"

That was a Devil Fruit user, and after using his ability, he was even more terrifying than Arlong; he was a true Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Zoan-type Devil Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Tyrannosaurus Fruit user.

That's how they introduced it.

"How should I know? Everything was fine at first. I heard that guy seemed to know Ace, so I went over and asked him. Who knew he would ask me how I knew Ace?" Luffy pouted.

Nami asked, "What was your answer?"

Luffy said with great pride, "Of course I'll say Ace is my brother!"
