One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

"It's just a combination of Devil Fruit abilities."

Russell shrugged. "By combining the shaping principle of the Barrier Fruit with a simple application of scientific principles, you can achieve this effect."

There's nothing that can't be done with Devil Fruits; there's only the limit.

Russell watched with satisfaction as the three ships burst into flames.

It's pretty powerful!

Those who don't know might think it's Fire Fist Ace who ate the Flame-Flame Fruit.

He glanced back at his companions and said, "Ella, the rest is up to you."

"it is good!"

Robin provided a logbook pointing directly to Alabasta, and we could arrive in just two days.

It wasn't that Crocodile was on my mind; it was mainly because I had just harvested a large number of Devil Fruits and hadn't had time to think about them in detail.

To be honest, a guy who has become dependent on ancient weapons and other external things to achieve his ambitions has no right to be taken seriously.

"Indeed, the Grand Line is the place with the most Devil Fruits," Russell remarked.

Compared to the East Blue, in the Grand Line, an organization can consist almost entirely of Devil Fruit users.

Focus your attention on the Devil Fruits you just acquired.

There's not much to study about the two Zoan-type Devil Fruits; they can be used directly as nutrients to enhance physical strength.

As for the other Paramecia-type Devil Fruits, they remain to be explored.

At this moment, the officers of the Demon Pirates on the ship were preparing for battle against those warships.

The warships were engulfed in flames, but they still maintained their combat effectiveness.

This is their first battle on the Grand Line, and all the pirates want to make a good impression on Captain Russell.

But Bucky sneaked up to Russell.

“Bucky, stop smiling at me like that. Get to the point.” Russell raised his fist at Bucky’s prelude-like expression.

Bucky instantly retracted his composure and then took a piece of fruit out of his pocket.

Russell recognized the pattern on it immediately: "This is a Devil Fruit?"

He asked with great interest, "When did you get it?"

Bucky said with a bitter expression, "Back at Whiskey Peak, there was a banquet, right? We were eating fruit, and then I saw this and almost choked to death."

So close!

I almost took another bite.

"This Devil Fruit is the Chop-Chop Fruit, and I don't know why it's been chasing after me."

Bucky complained.

He said he absolutely didn't want to become a landlubber again.

Russell looked at the fruit in his hand, lost in thought.

The rumor that Devil Fruits choose their masters is not unfounded; Buggy is an example of this, and so is Straw Hat Luffy.

"You don't want to eat?" Russell asked.

Bucky shook his head vigorously: "No, no, absolutely not! You've already plundered me once, erasing all my memories and experience related to ability development. If I eat it again now, wouldn't I have to start training from scratch?"

This is consistent with Russell's guess.

He plundered the Devil Fruit techniques that the other party had developed over many years.

If that's the case, then the second plunder cannot proceed so quickly.

For example, after Straw Hat Luffy was robbed, Russell picked up the Nika Fruit that appeared next to him and fed it back to him. He had to wait for a while until Luffy had developed his skills enough before Russell would rob him a second time.

This means waiting until the pig is fattened up before slaughtering it.

So he put the Devil Fruit away. Since that's the case, if he wanted to plunder another Devil Fruit, he had to find a good place for it.

It seems there is a good candidate right now.

He's now experienced in feeding the enemy shit.

Looking up, the USS Snard was already very close to several naval warships.

Under Grace's command, all the retaliatory shells were evaded.

A shipwright is also an excellent helmsman!

Not to mention that Grace's Observation Haki was also quite outstanding. During the high-speed flight, all the cannonballs fell into the ocean behind the Snard and exploded.

Grace vividly remembers Russell's relentless and demanding training during that period.

These pent-up angers need to be vented, and this group of navy soldiers is just the right fit.

"Ella is in your hands now."

Grace called out when the Snark was still a short distance from the other warships.

“We’ve been ready all along, Snake Mother, follow me.”

Splash, splash, splash.

Numerous strange beasts took flight, while the pirates stood on their shoulders.

"Good thinking. Who says that battles at sea have to be fought in a conventional boarding action?"

Seeing that his men's thought processes were finally somewhat like his, the captain's, Russell couldn't help but laugh.

The crew members are just like the captain, and they really don't have a single flaw.

Air combat units are always invaluable, since the ability to fly is a skill reserved for a select few.

Otherwise, how could the Golden Lion have caused the Navy so much trouble back then?

In other words, Shiki is single-mindedly determined to fight, and if he tries to run away, Garp can't catch him.

The navy, already demoralized after the fiery spectacle, were even more frightened by the sight of this massive swarm of flying objects.

The warships still had a large number of personnel, but Grace's power cannons and Russell's Barrier-Barrier Fruit had already wiped out a large number of them. The demoralized navy was on the verge of collapse.

Naval soldiers without a strong will are no different from ordinary people.

Even if it's hundreds of thousands of Berries a month, who's going to risk their life for you?

Chapter 101 You're the Pirate King's son, aren't you?! (Seeking first subscription)

Several days have passed.

After repelling the naval warships, the Snard never encountered any more naval vessels, or even pirate ships.

It's highly likely that the lucky one has finally struck.

Russell considered himself to be quite lucky, not to mention adding a guy with Luck Haki like Bucky.

"Hey, hey, hey, why isn't there any news about our Demon Pirates?"

Bucky clutched a newspaper he'd just snatched from Newsbird, seething with resentment.

They destroyed several naval warships as soon as they entered the Grand Line.

In other pirate crews, the bounty would probably have been increased.

pat.

One punch landed, and Bucky immediately covered his head and crouched down.

"Pay up, pay up! You're always trying to squeeze a few hundred dollars out of Newsbird, why are you being so stingy?"

Russell cursed irritably, then glanced at the pirates beside him, "And you guys, I've already said, being a pirate is a profession. When it's time to rob, you have to rob. But life is life. If you buy something and don't pay, that's a matter of character."

He was so stingy, as if he, the captain, hadn't given them any dividends.

Buggy and his crew really need to change these occupational habits. People who don't know them would think the Devil Pirates are poor.

A group of pirates lowered their heads and quickly ran away, heading to the alien beast unit to practice.

There were only about a hundred real pirates on the ship, who were responsible for fighting. They were only responsible for fighting, and there was nothing else to do on the ship except train. As for things like pulling ropes, furling sails, and controlling the rudder, there were other people in charge.

Everyone on the ship had their own duties.

In addition, Grace's modifications to the ship included many automated mechanisms, so a large ship doesn't actually require many people.

"It seems there's been less media coverage about us."

Ella noticed this too and walked over to Russell, saying, "Could the Navy be plotting something big?"

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Russell sat on a recliner, toying with Buggy's Chop-Chop Fruit in his hand, and said, "I don't think so. There are so many pirates on the Grand Line. A few naval warships won't make the headlines."

Once Alabasta takes down Crocodile, the newspapers will probably dedicate a special column to them.

"Haha, your bounty will go up again then."

A former Shichibukai who has been removed from the list carries a different weight than a genuine Shichibukai.
