One piece: I can steal Devil Fruit skills!

The sun was shining, the wind was delightful, and the sea breeze was refreshing.

On the Going Merry, Su Yi lay leisurely on a reclining chair, sipping orange juice.

"This kind of life is not bad. Every day presents such beautiful scenery, and I have a group of live treasures playing tricks on the ship."

He glanced at Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp, who were playing hide and seek.

"And delicious food," Su Yi's gaze shifted to the kitchen, where delightful aromas wafted through the air.

"And the beautiful lady..."

Finally, he looked at Nami.

"Did the price go up again?"

"I won't buy it if the price goes up again next time."

At the side of the ship, Nami was teasing an innocent delivery seagull.

"Well, she's still pretty if you ignore the fact that she's a miser."

Nami, who had already purchased the newspaper, sat in her exclusive seat and began flipping through it.

SLAM!

At that moment, a pile of fresh wanted posters fell to the ground.

"Huh? Are there so many bounties all of a sudden today?" Nami exclaimed, surprised at the stack of bounty notices that had just fallen.

Immediately, she shouted, "Hey!!!!!!"

A scream echoed across the Going Merry.

...

...

...

A day earlier, at the East Blue Marine Headquarters.

"The person who was originally supposed to track and monitor the 'Demon Hunter' unexpectedly saw that the Straw Hat Crew won the battle against Creek and dismantled the merman Arlong."

"Coronel Mouse is missing for unknown reasons, the warship is gone, and it's now the work of the Straw Hat Crew!"

"That man named Su Yi possesses terrifying combat power."

"He easily killed Arlong the merman in one second! The 30 million Berry bounty set earlier was too hasty."

"It's not just him; Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, and Sanji from the Straw Hat Pirates are not easy characters either."

"The Straw Hat can defeat a Sea King from the Grand Line with one punch and easily take down a cadre under Arlong. His strength seems to be on par with Arlong's, and he previously won against the leader of Creek, who isn't as dangerous or vicious as Arlong."

"As for Roronoa Zoro, despite the fatal wound inflicted by Dracule Mihawk, he was still able to defeat the six-blade fisherman Xiaoba, showcasing his incredible perseverance. Although his true strength remains unclear, what he has shown while injured is already terrifying!"

"And Black-Leg Sanji has an incredible fighting ability. He is a master of exploiting the weaknesses of creatures. His kicking techniques are inherited from the Red-Leg Zeff, and his potential is remarkable."

"Even the long-nosed Usopp, who seems ordinary, has shown he can defeat a cadre under Arlong's command."

"This navigator named Nami, while only at the level of an ordinary person, managed to rally all the members of the Straw Hat Pirates to attack Arlong's Paradise, which shows she's no simple role."

"So, if that's the case, how about the bounties?"

"'Thief Cat' Nami, 5 million Berries!"

"'Sniper' Usopp, 8 million Berries!"

"'Black-Leg' Sanji, 15 million Berries!"

"'Pirate Hunter' Roronoa Zoro, 20 million Berries!"

"'Straw Hat' Monkey D. Luffy, 30 million Berries!"

"'Demon Hunter' Su Yi, 50 million Berries!"

"All members of the Straw Hat Crew have a total bounty exceeding 100 million Berries!"

"They are already a major pirate group in East Blue, and each crew member is an elite force—an extremely terrifying existence!"

"It's time to eliminate this ferocious new breed of pirates in their infancy!"

"Send a fleet to destroy the Straw Hat Crew!"

...

...

...

In West Blue, Robins Town, at Kaya's villa.

"Miss Kaya, Miss Kaya," the new housekeeper Merry rushed upstairs in a panic, clutching a stack of wanted notices in her hand.

"Miss Kaya, Miss Kaya, something bad has happened!" Merry fell to the ground several times, drenched in cold sweat.

"What is it, Merry?" Kaya asked calmly as Merry placed the wanted list on the table.

"It's Luffy and the others! They're being wanted now!" Merry exclaimed, her voice trembling.

The reason for Merry's panic was that the bounties for Luffy's crew had collectively added up to more than 100 million Berries.

In East Blue, this made them an overwhelming force, and she feared that the Marine Headquarters would send someone to take down the Straw Hat Crew.

"Mr. Usopp..."

However, Kaya noticed Usopp's wanted poster, which had been buried beneath the stack of higher bounties, and pulled it out.

Usopp's wanted poster showed a broken nose and a drunken expression, clearly taken when he was inebriated at a party in Cocoa West Village.

"Eight million Berries... that's so high..."

"Mr. Usopp is also moving toward his dream."

"And I am moving toward my dream of becoming a doctor and helping people."

...

At a Marine Base.

In the corridor, a Marine janitor who was cleaning suddenly halted, his gaze fixated on a row of wanted posters on the wall, unable to look away.

This was the freshly released wanted list of the entire Straw Hat Crew!

Coby's eyes were particularly drawn to Luffy's face.

"Finally, finally, finally, Mr. Luffy, you've made it to your dream."

"You've also gathered so many reliable partners."

Coby's excitement surged, and a wave of adrenaline rushed to his head.

The next moment, Coby clenched his fists.

"But when we meet next time, we might be enemies!"

...

At a sea restaurant.

Originally a high-end establishment, but in the most prominent location where an oil painting once hung, a wanted poster was now displayed.

"The Wanted Posters of the Straw Hat Crew: Demon Hunter, 50 million Berries; Straw Hat Boy, 30 million Berries; Pirate Hunter, 20 million Berries; Black-Leg Sanji... Pffhaha..."

A group of patrons suddenly burst into laughter.

"This guy Sanji is too embarrassing!"

"Who on earth painted this? It's amazing!"

Others were using photos, although some may have been caught eating meat at a banquet, but at least they were recognizable.

Only Sanji's was a stick figure, rendered in a very "abstract" style.

...

In the New World, on an unnamed island.

"Hey, Eagle...Eagle Eye..."

A group of pirates looked at the boats appearing on the sea, cold sweat drenching their faces, panic evident among them.

One man hurried to inform his captain.

"Captain..."

Suddenly, his voice trailed off as he noticed a figure had already appeared behind him.

"Hawkeye!!!" Cold sweat dripped from his forehead as he hurried away.

Hawkeye Mihawk stood in front of the pirate captain.

"I didn't come here to compete with you. As of now, you and I, who have both lost an arm, are no longer interested in that."

"I came because I remembered what you said about an interesting teenager in East Blue."

With that, Hawkeye Mihawk pulled out a wanted notice from his coat, revealing Luffy's smirking face.

"Hahaha, not bad, Hawkeye! Stay for a drink and a feast!" Shanks, who was originally hungover, suddenly brightened up and invited Hawkeye to join him.

Hawkeye's mind briefly recalled a handsome face—the boy who earnestly asked him to teach Haki.

By the way, and that funny guy…

Well, let's not mention it. Shanks wouldn't be interested in anyone other than Luffy anyway.

...

In East Blue, Windmill Village.

"Hey, Luffy is a wanted man!"

"He's really capable."

"Maybe there will be a great pirate emerging from this village."

The village chief pointed at a group of villagers in exasperation, "A bunch of idiots!"

"There's a bad guy in the village, what's there to celebrate?!"

"Look at the village chief, Luffy's happy smile." Someone pointed to Luffy's face on the wanted list and said.

"Hey, look, Luffy's got 50 million Berries on his head."

"Wow, that's higher than Luffy's bounty!"

"The bounties for the others aren't low either."

"It feels like he's found a group of comrades equal to Shanks."

"To celebrate Luffy taking one step closer to his dream, here's a toast!"

"No toasts!" The village chief shouted angrily while drinking beer.
