One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

Before the Snake Mother could finish her attack, the surrounding air suddenly became still.

A swift, serpentine strike came from the side, tearing the ship's deck apart.

The snake mother's vertical pupils contracted slightly, and before she could react, she was also knocked away solidly.

"Your move still has flaws, Snake Mother."

Russell appeared where the snake mother had just stood, grinning to reveal his large white teeth.

The strict teacher is online.

Okay, actually I was just itching to do it.

"Xingyiquan is my signature move. If you want to learn it, I'll teach you."

Russell flexed his wrists and looked at Ella, who had just climbed up from the deck.

"I'm here, get ready to receive."

So fast!

Ella couldn't see Russell at all.

That was pure physical speed, without the aid of any special abilities.

Instinctively, she slammed her foot into the ground, and her whole body moved sideways like a cannonball.

Whoosh!

A sharp sonic boom echoed through the air.

"Huh? This is what they call the Navy's Six Styles?"

Russell raised an eyebrow at Ella's original spot, showing interest.

It's said that this is an essential skill for naval officers.

"It's shaving; I've seen quite a few people from the World Government use it..."

This was also the first time Ella had used it, because she had never experienced that heart-pounding, death-like feeling before.

"Not bad, hahaha, so this is the talent of your race? No wonder the World Government wants to exterminate you all."

You can use techniques you've only seen in real combat.

This is simply a fighting talent blessed by the heavens.

Russell's smile widened.

"Again!"

His figure disappeared again.

Ella gritted her teeth, flames suddenly erupted behind her, and she maximized her defense to take the punch head-on.

"boom!"

The man was thrown into the deck, but quickly got up unharmed.

As the flames died down, she used Shave to dodge, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

The Snake Mother was not to be outdone, her snake eyes fixed on Ella's changing flames, occasionally unleashing the Russell School's Xingyi Quan (a style of Chinese martial arts).

The three men fought fiercely on the deck, sending splinters flying and terrifying the slaves on board.

……

When it was over, Russell looked completely refreshed, and hadn't even broken a sweat.

The Snake Mother and Ella lay on the deck, drenched in sweat and panting heavily, looking utterly exhausted.

"Is that not enough? Let's try again."

Ella and the Snake Mother shook their heads simultaneously, their movements remarkably synchronized.

He simply lay on the ground and refused to get up.

Just as Russell was about to say something more, a female cook wearing an apron cautiously approached, head bowed, and said:

"Lord Russell, we're almost out of food."

There were about fifty people on the ship, not to mention a group of strange beasts with an astonishingly large appetite.

Food was a major problem during the voyage.

Russell stroked his chin.

Running out of food right after setting sail is incredibly embarrassing.

Just then, a wave suddenly surged up on the sea.

A huge creature emerged from the water.

With its enormous head and murky eyes, it looked like a giant moray eel.

"A sea monster! It's a sea monster!"

The people on the ship immediately panicked. Those were sea monsters! The sea was their domain, and humans were no different from ants in front of them.

"Could this thing be the king of the near seas?"

Russell raised an eyebrow.

As a sea monster that once swallowed the arm of one of the Four Emperors, Shanks, it is extremely well-known.

If this is the King of the Near Sea, then it means that this place is close to Windmill Village and the Kingdom of Goa.

"Haha, here comes the food!"

Russell believed he had a bit of luck.

Just as Russell was about to make a move, the Snake Mother roared and sprang up from the deck.

Ella stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

The two exchanged a glance and rushed out at the same time.

Flames erupted behind Ella as she charged straight at the King of the Near Sea, lashing his eyes with her chains.

The king of the near sea, in pain, opened his blood-red maw and lunged to bite.

The snake mother appeared like a ghost to its side, and slammed a snake fist into its cheek.

boom!

The king of the near sea had his head knocked to one side, and the seawater erupted with waves several meters high.

Ella tumbled in the air, the flames extinguished, her speed increased dramatically, and the chains wrapped around the fangs of the Sea King, pulling them sharply.

Click!

A fang larger than a person was forcibly pulled out.

The king of the near seas let out a mournful cry, trying to escape back to the deep sea.

The snake mother gave him no chance, her hands turning into afterimages as she pounded one punch after another on its head.

Ella followed up, lashing the chain hard across its skull.

The two women, as if possessed, pinned the king of the near sea to the surface and beat him mercilessly.

Blood stained a large area of ​​the sea.

The people on the ship were dumbfounded.

The two who were easily dealt with by Russell just now are now so ferocious when facing sea monsters?

How strong must Russell be?!

Chapter 7 Slippery Fruit

The enormous corpse of the near-sea king was dragged to the side of the ship.

The Snake Mother and Ella, covered in blood, jumped back onto the deck, panting heavily, but their eyes were shining.

Having been unilaterally suppressed by Russell, I'm finally getting to experience unilaterally suppressing someone else.

My mood instantly improved.

Russell smiled and clapped, "Well done."

The chefs quickly began processing the sea monster meat; there was enough to last them quite a while.

As long as you have the strength, it's hard to go hungry at sea.

The ocean is incredibly rich in fish resources.

If it comes to you on its own initiative, it can be used as food.

If all else fails, you can always go fishing.

No way, no way, there can't really be an air force at sea, right?

Just then, a sailor on the lookout tower shouted:

"Captain Russell, there's a ship ahead! It's flying a pirate flag!"
