Russell could present the ultimate in violent aesthetics, but deep down he was also a technical person who liked to show off his skills.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to have so many Devil Fruits on you?

"Snake Fist Machine Gun!"

Dazzling!

Hanafuda's hands were clasped together in front of him as indistinct fist shadows continuously pounded against his body, making a series of cracking sounds.

"Isn't that the move that the straw hat brat used before?"

Hanafuda was terrified. Luffy had used this kind of attack before. What was it again? I think he shouted "Gum-Gum Machine Gun," but Luffy didn't even dodge it. The Ancient Zoan's physique was undeniable.

As solid as a rock!

And now...

"It hurts, it hurts so much!"

This guy's fist is really hard, and it's even covered in Armament Haki?

When did the East Blue become so outrageous? Pirates who have mastered Haki should be on the Grand Line!

Surely not everyone has the same reason as him.

Just moments ago, Hanafuda was mocking the World Government for overcharging pirates, but now he's seething with resentment.

Two hundred and thirty million is too little!

During her battle with Fire Fist Ace, Hanafuda clearly sensed that Ace's physique was a weakness, but she was ultimately defeated by the Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit.

But the person in front of him was actually stronger than him!

Pat pat pat...

The sounds of bombardment continued, growing stronger and stronger until finally, Hanafuda's body was sent flying uncontrollably.

Boom!

The body smashed through a huge hole in the ship with a loud thud.

Russell raised an eyebrow. "Heh, so this is the senior?"

Sawyer Belmont, the only one still on the field, watched this scene in disbelief.

"That was the former Shichibukai!"

On this vast ocean, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are beings that pirates can only dream of, and Sawyer Belmont has always been proud to follow such a great man!

He knew that if he weren't an ability user, he wouldn't even catch this person's eye.

What did he see now?

The former Shichibukai is being brutally beaten by rookie pirates?

Does this mean there's a reason why Hanafuda was removed from the Seven Warlords of the Sea? To put it bluntly, if you're not strong enough, you'll be replaced.

Sawyer Belmont couldn't tell whether the hanafuda was too weak or Russell was too strong.

Normally, veteran pirates shouldn't beat up rookie pirates; after the roles are reversed, he thinks he's in another world.

"Don't they even care about their own people anymore?"

As soon as Russell’s voice rang out, Sawyer Belmont felt a wave of heat wash over him, followed by a massive burst of flames roaring in from the front.

That's... Captain Hanafuda's move!

"Flameball!"

With a snap.

Sawyer Belmont was kicked away by Russell, not because he was overly compassionate, but because he realized that this guy was a power user, and he would rather die after Russell absorbed his power.

Hanafuda seems to have also realized Russell's abilities, so she is determined to never let Russell succeed, even if her subordinates are in his attack path.

Facing the blazing sun hurtling towards him, Russell flipped his hand, revealing the demon sword in his grasp, and immediately made a slashing motion.

Whoosh!

The crimson flames were cleaved in two by a single stroke, spreading to both sides of the ship.

There's no need for any special countermeasures against laser elements or energy bodies.

Foxfire Style: Flame Slash - A technique to sever flames?

Those kinds of moves were a joke to Garp; all that fancy stuff, all he needed was a punch.

Russell also learned from that old man that as long as you have enough strength, it will work!

Splash!

The hot wind howled, and the deck was already ablaze with heat. The ship seemed beyond saving. The pirates had all fainted from the shock of Conqueror's Haki, and none of them could stand up to put out the fire.

As for Hanafuda (flower cards)

“I don’t think you have that idea either.” Russell looked at the Tyrannosaurus Rex in its human-beast form not far away.

"Hahaha, the purpose of pirates is to plunder!"

Exuding an aura of tyranny, Hanafuda paid no attention to the giant ship built from various inferior timbers. He looked at the Snard, which was slowly approaching behind Russell.

His vertical pupils were filled with excitement: "Kill you, and I'll take over your ship and your men!"

Clearly, Hanafuda's mindset is exactly the same as the Beasts Pirates; they are pirates operating on a military model, where the strong prey on the weak and the mighty possess everything.

However, he underestimated Russell's reputation within the pirate crew.

The entire ship of pirates is practically being trained to be Deadpool.

"Kill me?"

Russell smiled.

This guy is being a bit too presumptuous.

Even in front of Garp, he had the confidence to fight back, so he reached out and beckoned, "If you like to talk big, then talk more, because you won't be able to later."

Such composure and self-assurance exude the demeanor of a strong person.

Hanafuda saw the shadows of many people in the man before her.

But who doesn't have self-confidence?

Even in the New World, he was a top-notch pirate.

The only thing I'm worried about is...

Hanafuda's gaze slowly returned to Russell, his furious tone tinged with curiosity.

"Your ability is to use the abilities of other ability users, right?"

Even after traversing the ocean for so many years, this was the first time he had encountered a Devil Fruit user.

Chapter 76: At the Peak of Power!

"There's nothing unexpected about it. Ultimately, abilities depend on the user."

Russell said nonchalantly.

"..."

Hanafuda agrees with this view, but the interpretation should change when a person possesses multiple abilities.

Moreover, Russell's attack just now was also imbued with Haki.

Calling these pirates supernovas is really absurd.

Is this guy really a pirate who hasn't been at sea for very long?

At that moment, the ground beneath Russell's feet became smooth, even keeping the spreading flames at bay.

It's another Devil Fruit ability!

Hanafuda's expression grew increasingly serious, completely devoid of its previous disdain.

His idea after emerging from hiding at sea was to recklessly charge into the new world.

Encountering several naval warships after setting sail confirmed his conjecture.

These navies are exactly the same as before, showing absolutely no progress!

But who knew that while the navy remained unchanged, the pirates did.

Judging from Russell's posture, one of his abilities should also be that of an ancient species.

It's his favorite Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability!

He was incredibly excited, even fantasizing about how wonderful it would be if he had Russell's abilities... He could possess all the Zoan-type abilities he loved.

After the fantasy came intense jealousy.

Jealousy can cause the host to break apart.

Why can't this Devil Fruit be mine?!

"Boy, you're not worthy of this Devil Fruit!"
