One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

As the king of the Nefit clan, he could not bear to see the people of this ancient kingdom suffer again.

As for the pirate Vivi mentioned...

Russell the Devil.

Will the future world be contested by the current world government for control of the world?

......

The Snard continued its voyage on the Grand Line.

The weather suddenly changed the next afternoon.

One moment the sun was shining brightly, the next dark clouds pressed down, a gale-force wind and torrential rain poured down, and the waves were churning and rolling as if stirred by some giant beast, pushing the ship left and right.

"The weather on the Grand Line truly lives up to its reputation!"

Grace gripped the steering wheel, her face beaming with excitement.

The fierce winds and towering waves are the best test for this ship!

"Hahaha, if this were an ordinary pirate ship, it would have been capsized long ago!"

Russell was also very satisfied.

A good ship is the foundation for sailing the Great Sea Route.

You must know, this is the stormy sea of ​​the Grand Line!

Pirates are the ones who perish at sea every year due to storms.

The wind howled and roared.

Russell stood on the deck, looking at the raging storm outside.

As for why it's outside?

"This ability is too cheating." Vivi looked up and could see that the ship's surface was covered with a thin layer of white smoke, which, together with the transparent barrier, blocked most of the rain and waves. The pirates on the ship didn't even need to hide in the cabin.

Despite the large waves, they were still dry.

"Devil Fruits are only at their strongest in the hands of those who truly know how to use them!"

Bucky is unmatched in his flattery skills. Everyone knows who he's talking about.

However, everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Russell accepted it without any qualms.

Using smoke and barriers as a protective shield, there's absolutely no need to worry about strong winds or heavy rain.

As for whether the ship will capsize due to the destruction of its bottom?

Ask that question, and then face Grace's gun.

Even Grace thought, "Captain, using your abilities is a bit redundant. The ship I built can definitely withstand these storms!"

"We can withstand it,"

Russell laughed heartily, "But I don't want to look like a drowned rat."

He's in a good mood right now.

His plan had been implemented step by step. Since Vivi had agreed, there was no room for regret. The words had been signed, and he had already declared Alabasta as his territory.

To plunder this world, it's not enough to simply overthrow the world government.

When Im plundered the world, he even united more than twenty countries to form a world government.

The world is too big, so we need to develop our own territory.

In his opinion, it would be small-scale for the Four Emperors to develop their own territories in a place like the New World.

We should be like him and fight those guys from the World Government for territory!

Before long, the storm subsided.

This is the Grand Line, where the weather is unpredictable.

The storm lasted for about two hours, then suddenly dissipated just as it had come.

"Russell, it's the Navy!"

Ella shook off the sea stone chains and looked ahead.

Several naval warships were arranged in a triangular formation, clearly indicating a posture of blocking the shipping lanes.

The deck suddenly became lively.

"It's not unusual to encounter naval forces on the Grand Line, but to see three at once clearly means they're here on purpose."

Bucky looked through the binoculars for a while, then turned to Russell and said, "Captain, judging by the flags, they're from headquarters, not some low-level fry from a branch."

A red glint flashed in Russell's eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up: "You dare to make the first move?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than battle flags were raised on the distant warships.

Then, whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Dozens of shells, trailing fiery exhaust, streaked across the sky and rained down on the Snard like a swarm of locusts!

The shells landed densely and precisely, clearly indicating that the enemy gunners were experienced. Several shells blocked the left and right turning routes, while the rest were all aimed at the center of the ship.

The navy is known as one of the three major powers of the Grand Line, and its most important advantage is its powerful ships and cannons.

Ordinary pirate ships have absolutely no advantage in front of naval warships.

However, the Demon Pirates are no ordinary pirate crew!

“Let them see your power cannon,” Russell said to Grace.

"Open the power cannon muzzle!"

Grace's face was beaming with excitement.

The pirates on the ship moved quickly, and then the seemingly ordinary plank at the bow slid open to the sides, revealing a huge, black cannon muzzle.

The cannon's muzzle was several meters in diameter, and its inner wall was covered with a complex mechanical structure, with a faint blue-white light flowing within it.

"Fire the power cannon!" Grace shouted.

Boom!

A deafening cannon shot rang out, and the entire ship shuddered.

A thick beam of blue-white light shot out from the cannon muzzle, whistling as it tore through the air, and hurtled straight toward the barrage of bullets ahead!

The two forces collided in mid-air.

The navy's artillery shells were as fragile as paper in front of that beam of light, shattering at the slightest touch.

Everything around fell silent.

Vivi's mouth dropped open; she hadn't expected that there would be such a powerful weapon on this ship.

This is much more powerful than the navy's cannonballs.

Chapter 100 The First Battle on the Grand Line (Seeking First Subscription)

"Now do you understand why Crocodile is looking for the clues about Pluton left behind by your country?"

Russell rested his hands on the ship's railing, watching the scene unfold before him.

Vivi was completely dumbfounded.

A single shot could destroy a gun corps of three warships; this was only the power of the main gun developed by Grace.

The legendary ancient weapon Hades was capable of destroying a country with a single shot.

No wonder Crocodile was so eager for it.

However, even if he knew the whereabouts of Pluton, it would be useless. Pluton's location is not only in the territory of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, but the entire ship is submerged at the bottom of the sea. For Crocodile, a Devil Fruit user, the sea itself is the most severe father.

Two other naval warships in the distance had begun to adjust their course. Although they were stunned by the previous shot, they showed no intention of retreating.

The second wave of shelling arrived quickly.

"Let's fight our first battle on the Grand Line with style!"

Russell grinned and looked up at the sun, which had appeared in the sky at some unknown time.

The sun is shining brightly, so let's try out the power of Devil Fruits to develop technology.

He raised his right hand, and a huge, transparent barrier quickly materialized before his eyes.

The barrier was shaped like a convex lens, focusing sunlight to produce high-temperature rays of thousands of degrees.

"Let me give you an example first."

With a whoosh, a huge flame shot into the air from the screen in front of me and was then launched outwards.

A straight beam of fire shot out, and flames soared into the air from the massive warship.

The sky and sea were covered in flames.

"How did you do that?" Robin asked in surprise.
