One Piece: Nobody has more Devil Fruits than me.

Grace said excitedly, "Then I need to change my bounty poster to a better one. The last one made me look like a wanted criminal. I'm a pirate with professional ethics now!"

"Professional ethics?"

Russell raised an eyebrow, a playful smile playing on his lips. "You, a princess of a fallen kingdom, are now talking to me about professional ethics. And can you even see it? Who told you the photo looks like a wanted criminal?"

"Serpent Mother!"

Russell chuckled. "You think the Snake Mother has any sense of aesthetics?"

To be fair, Grace's wanted poster was actually quite well-taken.

"And you're a wanted criminal anyway," Ella added from the side.

When it comes to major events in the newspaper, Weiwei, who is not far away, is more concerned. She holds a newspaper in her hand and her expression is slightly solemn.

Russell glanced at her. "Something happened in Alabasta?"

Vivi nodded, her face filled with worry. "The nationwide rebels have begun to assemble. Crocodile's actions are faster than I imagined."

Newspaper reports said the situation in Alabasta was completely out of control, with rebels capturing several towns and the capital Albana in grave danger.

"What's the rush? His men haven't even been gathered yet, which means the operation hasn't even started."

Crocodile's Utopia Project was inseparable from the cadres of the Baroque Works, and he was unaware that they had all been wiped out by Russell.

"So what you need to do now is not worry, but think about how to reveal the truth to the public later." Russell shrugged.

Defeating Crocodile is not a difficult task for him; the real challenge lies in the hundreds of thousands of rebel soldiers. Will the Demon Pirates lend a hand then?

That would be interesting.

This is the first time I've heard of pirates helping a member state maintain stability, but the royal family has to pay for it.

Otherwise, they would be too ruthless.

Just then, the snake mother brought over desserts and drinks, placing them in front of Russell in a very ingratiating manner. "Master, when shall we try again?"

"Thank you."

Robin, who was reading a book nearby, reached out her little hand towards the dessert in front of Russell, and curiously looked up to ask, "Would you like to try some?"

"An experience that makes both body and soul better."

Russell picked up a piece of dessert and stuffed it into his mouth, then reached out and slapped away Robin's hand that was trying to steal the dessert.

There was no way to snatch desserts from Russell's mouth; he loved them.

After chewing, he said, "Would you like to try some too?"

"It sounds like some kind of dangerous experiment." Robin withdrew his hand, noticing the man's smile, and immediately became wary.

Dangerous experiment?

It's not really dangerous; if Robin wanted, she could experience what it's like to have a true out-of-body experience.

As expected of a woman who grew up on the run, Nico Robin adapted to the ship very quickly. She soon figured out the preferences of several officers, and even Ella, who was initially the most wary of her, no longer had any ill feelings towards her.

"No wonder he's a genius who earned an archaeology degree at Ohara at such a young age," Russell praised.

Robin's pupils contracted slightly. "You know a lot about Ohara too?"

Russell said, "I know the basics, so don't worry. People the World Government wants to kill are actually safer here. Ask Ella if you don't believe me."

Ella still has a say in this matter.

Bucky over there seemed to have noticed something and quickly ran over. "Captain Russell, if we don't change course, there might be extreme weather over there."

As a navigator who had sailed the New World, Bucky was quite experienced. That's how the sea is; no one can predict what will happen next. That's when an experienced navigator becomes especially important.

Robin and Vivi on the ship were quite shocked to learn that Buggy was a member of the Pirate King's crew. Then Russell introduced Crocus, the seemingly ordinary ship doctor sitting next to them, as a member of the Pirate King's crew as well.

The two of them had a thought that popped into their minds and they asked, "You wouldn't happen to be the son of the Pirate King Roger, would you?"

Russell and Roger seem to differ by only one word.

Unfortunately, Russell did not have the habit of acknowledging his father.

To be honest, Roger really left his son with a very powerful network of connections. If Portgas D. Ace hadn't been shouting that he wanted Whitebeard to become the Pirate King of this era, he might have actually done very well.

The climate of the Grand Line truly lives up to its reputation.

One moment the sky was clear and blue, the next second the entire sea surface seemed to be stirred up by an invisible giant hand.

Therefore, the Grand Line needs experienced navigators.

Bucky was full of confidence, saying, "These are all minor incidents. Captain, don't worry, these little storms are nothing compared to the New World. I learned this from Mr. Jabba."

"Jabbar? You mean that Jabbar? The Mountain Devourer Jabbar?" Ella and the others had also heard of this name.

That's the third-ranking member of Roger's pirate crew.

Buggy said with a proud look, "When the Roger Pirates crossed the sea known as the Ship Graveyard in the New World, it was Mr. Jabba who personally took the helm."

He's a man who received his experience from Mr. Jabba!

"And you've ended up like this, you're a disgrace to Jabba." Crocus added mercilessly.

Uncle Bird was one of only two people on the ship that Bucky couldn't refute, so he could only awkwardly start cursing Shanks.

Anyway, you can just curse Shanks all you want. After all, he's the one who made you a landlubber.

However, upon hearing this name, both Russell and Crocus's expressions became somewhat amused.

"That fellow is indeed a true explorer; the title is fitting," Russell chuckled.

Crocus agreed with these words, as he knew about Jabba's current situation.

If Roger knew Jabba's current situation, he'd probably be so envious he'd crawl out of his grave.

Can you believe that guy actually slept with a giant woman and even had a child with her?

Giants!

Just standing in front of him was like a small mountain. Jabba's build looked like a little bean next to him. Back on the ship, you couldn't tell that Jabba had such special taste.

Of course, Russell was no less impressive in this regard.

Crocus looked at him with considerable admiration.

The snake mother did indeed resemble a human, even more beautiful than ordinary people, and her eerie beauty matched human aesthetics.

But its true form is a snake.

To be honest, this kind of thing isn't anything extraordinary in this world.

There are too many special races in the Grand Line.

Long-armed tribes, long-legged tribes, fish-men, giants, fur tribes, dwarfs, snake-headed tribes... all sorts of strange and grotesque races can be seen everywhere on the sea. Although intermarriage and childbirth between different races are not common, they are by no means a novelty.

What do you think those slave owners sold fishmen for?

It's just the morbid curiosity of those Celestial Dragons and nobles.

And to be honest, Crocus genuinely admired Russell to some extent.

For example, on the path to becoming stronger.

The storm gradually subsided, and the sea returned to calm.

Russell, sitting in a recliner surrounded by bottles and jars, reached out to Kukalos, "Kurocas, give me another stack of those potions you developed."

His body visibly turned red.

"You should have said you had these things earlier; the more the better."

Crocus was both amused and exasperated. "But you can't eat that."

Even so, Crocus went into the cabin. When he came out, he was carrying a wooden medicine box. He opened the lid and found more than twenty small glass bottles neatly stacked inside.

"For the next few days, don't just do it one day..."

Before he could finish speaking, Russell picked up a bottle and uncorked it.

As a renowned physician, Kurokas's research areas did not solely focus on treating and saving lives.

Russell heard this from Bucky by chance.

Besides being the ship's doctor, Crocus was also in charge of the officers' physical training, and Bucky casually mentioned the potion.

Kurokas was initially reluctant to give it up.

This drug can stimulate the body's potential. After drinking it, the body is squeezed dry, and the pain is unbearable for most people.

When the Roger Pirates' officers learned of this wonderful thing, they all rushed to drink it.

In Crocus's words, everything should be done within one's means.

No matter how much you drink, the pain accumulates.

Therefore, even among the battle-hardened monsters of Roger's pirate crew, very few were willing to attempt a dose exceeding three bottles.

Most people drink one bottle and never touch it again after experiencing it once. The few who can drink two bottles are already amazing in terms of willpower.

Bucky said, "Mr. Jabba and Mr. Riley drank so much just to compete for the second-in-command position."
