One piece: I can steal Devil Fruit skills!

Furious villagers slaughtered Arlong's Paradise.

However, at the gate of Arlong Paradise, they were blocked by two men with knives.

"Stop! I can't let you pass here."

"Get out of the way! Who are you two? Are you Arlong's lackeys?"

"Wait, look at these two guys—they're all wounded. Do you mean they actually fought with the fishmen?"

Johnny and Yosaku looked impressive. "Ah, we did have a fight with the fishmen, but we lost by 'a hair's breadth.'"

"You can't defeat the fishmen with the likes of you, but there are others on this island who can take down Arlong, and the two of us are waiting here for that!"

It turned out that when they landed on the island, Su Yi had instructed Johnny and Yosaku, who had followed along, to block the door at the gate of Arlong Paradise. On one hand, if Arlong waited for the fishmen to leave, he would know where they went. On the other hand, if there were humans foolish enough to confront the fishmen, they had to be stopped to prevent them from losing their lives in vain. It would be a pity if they perished on the eve of dawn.

However, Johnny and Yosaku still challenged the fishmen, albeit with some disbelief. They ultimately got kicked out.

"Big brother is really predictable, like Zhuge Kongming," Johnny commented to Yosaku, looking at the villagers in front of him.

"Ah, not only did he predict that we would lose by 'a hair's breadth,' but he also foresaw that so many innocent villagers would come to die in vain. Thankfully, we caught up; otherwise, it would have been a disaster."

At this moment, at the end of the road, Su Yi and the others walked slowly towards them.

"Hey, look at the back—these people."

The villagers were startled by the presence of Su Yi and the others, and they subconsciously parted to let them through.

"Professional matters are best left to professionals. Since it's a fishman, it should be taken care of by the chef," Sanji said as he lit a cigarette for himself.

"I'm curious to know what it feels like to chop a fishman," Zoro remarked.

"I, I'm Captain Usopp, who once defeated ten fishmen!" Usopp boasted, his eyes filled with determination despite his two previous battles.

Only Luffy and Su Yi remained silent.

As they reached the door of Arlong Paradise, Su Yi suddenly said, "Luffy, please don't stomp your feet when we enter, and don't stick your feet into the ground or anything."

Luffy asked, "Huh? Why?"

"Just... don't do that."

"Alright."

Boom!

Immediately, Luffy punched the gate of Arlong Park!

...

"Ah? What are you guys doing? Are you going to rebel?"

The fishmen who were partying suddenly stopped.

A blue-skinned fishman with a long, jagged nose looked at the door with cold eyes.

"Arlong, we're here just to talk to you about a 100 million Bailey deal."

Su Yi stepped forward first.

A fishman attempted to intercept him, but Su Yi used the ground as a launching point.

Arlong's forehead bulged with veins, but he managed to hold back his anger. "What business?"

"Coronel Mouse took Nami's 100 million Bailey. I believe it should be shared with you, and since that's the case, I'll be taking your fish head."

Su Yi's tone was calm, as if discussing the weather or something inevitable.

Dead silence.

The entire place was silent.

After a long moment, the fishmen suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... he said he wanted to take Brother Arlong's fish head?"

But just as the fishmen began to laugh, they hadn't even gotten far into it.

In Su Yi's right hand, a book suddenly appeared.

Immediately, his body swelled slightly.

It's worth mentioning that while normal Zoan Devil Fruits enhance the physique of the user, they don't drastically increase strength. An ordinary person who eats one might grow to a level similar to that of an ordinary fishman. To get stronger, one needs to train.

But Su Yi was different.

He hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit; his ability came from "the ultimate will of the thief," which allowed him to read.

Thus, he could consume a certain amount of psychic energy and inject it into the page representing the squirrel fruit.

As he injected more psychic energy, his physique increased accordingly.

At this moment, Su Yi employed this fighting method, which consumed a significant amount of psychic energy at once.

Boom!

His body swelled dramatically, surpassing Arlong's height in an instant. His muscles bulged, his fur grew wildly, his clothes stretched, sharp claws sprouted from his hands and feet, and his eyes turned blood red.

"Strange, monster!"

The villagers in the back were terrified.

The fishmen were stunned as well, but few had ever seen a Devil Fruit ability in person. Only the well-informed Arlong's pupils shrank. "Devil Fruit power... it must be Zoan, but what animal is it? How can the transformation be so exaggerated?"

Boom!

The next moment, Su Yi vanished from his spot, and where he had been standing, the ground cracked significantly.

"Incoming!"

Arlong's natural fishman instincts allowed him to sense something, but before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his body, as if he'd been struck by a mammoth. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...

Arlong flew hundreds of meters away, smashed through dozens of houses, and finally landed in a pile of rubble.

Silence—dead silence.

The fishmen were stunned.

They had never witnessed such terrifying power before; someone could be so fast and knock their big brother Arlong so far away with a single blow!

This power surpassed that of both humans and fishmen!

It was already at the level of a monster!

"Aren't you dead yet, Arlong?" Su Yi approached the ruins step by step, exuding a monstrous sense of oppression. This was the same kind of oppression that Arlong usually imposed on ordinary humans.

"Don't you boast about fishmen being a superior race every day? Don't you claim that fishmen have ten times the arm strength of humans? You think you're strong?"

Slam!

He suddenly reached into the rubble, grabbed Arlong's head, and lifted him from the debris like a dead dog.

"Hey, are you still alive? Wake up, I haven't had enough," a cruel smile spread across Su Yi's face.

This guy, Arlong, who hated humans, had his pitiful moments.

But if he was bullied, he should go after those who bullied him. What kind of jerk goes to East Blue to pick on the weak? The worst part was that many ordinary people, who had no grievances against him, were killed by him for no reason.

"You... I won't let you go," Arlong muttered, dazed but still glaring at Su Yi with hatred.

"Oh, interesting," Su Yi laughed, tightening his grip, causing a cracking sound from Arlong's skull.

"You know, crushing your skull is as easy as cracking an egg."
