One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

But the difference in strength is obvious at a glance.

Because... watching the whole thing, Hanafuda's enormous body was like a sandbag, constantly making loud noises that sounded incredibly painful.

Seeing the smile on their captain's face, the pirates couldn't help but shudder.

That was clearly the devilish posture he used when giving them extra training!

"Your blood is quite good too; I think it likes it."

Muramasa stood upright on the ground, eagerly sucking up the pool of blood.

"You monster!"

The Hanafuda emitted a beast-like roar.

In the previous exchange, he was forced to defend himself due to Russell's various chaotic abilities.

Without counting carefully,

Splitting, slippery, rubber, Titanoboa... These abilities that Hanafuda has encountered in his knowledge are enough to give him a hard time.

"No one on the high seas has ever possessed the abilities of two different Devil Fruits."

"I thought Kaido's abilities were unmatched... Lightning, heat breath, bad wind, he could be called the king of elements, but I didn't expect there was someone like you in the East Blue."

He was breathing heavily.

When a person has enough methods, quantity can overcome quality!

After sensing that Russell's methods were becoming increasingly sophisticated, Hanafuda seemed to realize something.

"Are you using me as a test subject?!" he asked angrily.

Was this guy never serious from the beginning?

"What kind of trial subject are you making it sound so nice? Get your facts straight, you're just a punching bag," Russell grinned.

Hanafuda's expression froze, her flushed skin almost overflowing.

Anyone who didn't know better would think it was Lava Bro who had arrived.

"Hehehe, the sea is never short of geniuses, but they all eventually become tombstones on the seabed."

Even though he had lost face, Hanafuda remained composed. He stuck out his tongue and licked the wound on his hand. "Do you know why?"

Before Russell could speak, he shouted to himself, "Because you are too proud!"

Pride can lead to death.

The one who survives to the end is the winner!

"Kid, for a power user, the ocean is the strictest father!"

Hanafuda laughed triumphantly, "You thought I was just passively taking a beating? Look around you!"

During the beating, he left scratches all over the ship.

And now, the Hanafuda (flower cards) are right in the middle of these traces.

"If I just apply a little more force..."

pat.

"Just like now!"

A loud bang.

The ship broke into pieces in an instant and began to sink rapidly into the sea without any support!

"Hahaha, are you dumbfounded now? What's the use of having great abilities? Can you even fly?"

"Unless you're like Jack, with fish-man blood in your veins, who can survive in the ocean after eating a Devil Fruit and then wait for someone to pull you up."

"To deal with this situation, I had that plague guy modify my body a long time ago."

Hanafuda was incredibly arrogant, and the air blasts from his feet made his body float in mid-air—this was the power of technology.

Quinn is a respected authority in the field of science and technology.

They watched as the giant ship crashed into the sea.

But the next moment, Hanafuda's smile froze.

Amidst the rolling waves, a figure floated on the sea, carrying someone in its hand.

"You even have this kind of ability?!" Hanafuda roared.

Faced with his loss of composure, Russell casually tossed the person in his arms aside.

The power of that fruit surfaced in his mind.

Paramecia type, Gathering-Gathering Fruit.

Anything held in one's hand can be thrown with considerable force.

How do I describe ability?

So-so.

It's a perfect match for people who like to throw things, but on second thought, if you can project your domineering aura outwards, can that also be considered throwing?

Upon closer inspection, many things can be used for throwing.

That's something to look forward to.

As for now?

Russell was more interested in Hanafuda's abilities.

"Why that expression? Do you really think I didn't see your little trick just now?"

"Even if you don't separate the seawater, do you think I can't even do Moonwalk?"

Moonwalk?

That can't be the same!

An unprecedented sense of crisis arose in Hanafuda's mind.

Escape is impossible. Putting aside the pride of being a veteran pirate, in this vast ocean, once the power beneath my feet is lost, wouldn't I be doomed?

Looking back, I remember when I set sail from the Grand Line into the New World to begin my pirate career. Wherever I went, the Navy and pirates held me in awe. I was truly unparalleled in my fame and eventually became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. That vibrant and flourishing state of mind is still vivid in my mind.

In just a few decades, the sea became his final resting place.

The next second, a sense of crisis suddenly arose.

He witnessed an incredible scene.

Russell stretched out his hand and slid a large amount of seawater into a circle. Then, more and more water condensed and he made a throwing motion in his hand.

"..."

Everything can be thrown, including seawater.

This move reminded Hanafuda of some moves that fishmen might use.

The people on the Snard stared wide-eyed, completely stunned.

Russell's ability to glide across the ocean was already outrageous enough, but now he can even use seawater as a move?

As for Hanafuda, Russell was using the abilities of his subordinates to deal with him.

This is blatant humiliation!

Let's fight him!

"Tyrannosaurus Rex Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

The next second, steam-like heat also rose from Hanafuda's red skin.

Chapter 78 The more fruit, the better

at the same time......

On the distant sea.

"ended."

The crew of the Going Merry could see the giant ship that had been chasing them for days sinking into the sea amidst flames.

"This... so fast..."

Usopp's legs were still trembling. "Weren't the people chasing us former Shichibukai?"

Hanafuda stood in front of Luffy and Zoro, letting them attack him, and they both seemed indifferent.

In terms of physical strength, it's a complete and utter defeat.

But now, that dinosaur-man is being held in one hand by another dinosaur-man.

"Thank goodness we're not enemies."

"Luffy, that guy is a monster."

Upon hearing this, Luffy was somewhat unwilling, having suffered a crushing defeat—a dimensional-lowering blow—for the first time since setting sail.
