One piece: I can steal Devil Fruit skills!

"Om~~~~~~"

As Laboon emerged from the sea.

The Marine warships were no longer visible on the ocean.

At that moment, the Golden Meri slowly floated out from the door alongside the whale.

"Finally out."

"Back to see the sun."

Luffy and the others were very happy, and when they saw Su Yi, Luffy was even happier.

"Haha, Su Yi, you're not dead! We thought you were sinking in the belly of a whale, and we spent a lot of time saving you."

Su Yi smiled and said, "You're talking about yourself, right? Idiot captain."

At this moment, Zoro suddenly noticed that Su Yi's breathing was a bit irregular and there was some blood on the ground.

His expression changed, "Did something happen?"

Su Yi smiled and said, "No, nothing happened."

"Then, I'm hungry! Sanji, let's cook!" Luffy was indeed the first person without a care, and after realizing he was hungry, he urged Sanji to cook quickly.

With the fresh ingredients bought in Logue Town, Sanji showcased his culinary skills and prepared a hearty meal.

Before, they had been caught in a storm at sea and dealing with a whale. He hadn't had the chance to cook at all.

And everyone else was also hungry.

"Wow, it's been so long since I ate such delicious food. The last time I had it was over 20 years ago," Colex said as he ate Sanji's cooking, missing it immensely.

Su Yi had consumed a lot of physical energy in the previous battle, and now he was also increasing his food intake, surprising everyone else.

"Hey, something really happened, otherwise, why have you suddenly become so gluttonous?" Zoro was a bit surprised.

"Nothing happened, nothing happened," Su Yi said with his mouth full of food, looking like a hungry ghost reincarnated, eager to eat for the next life.

After dinner, Crocus told them about Laboon's past.

"That was over fifty years ago."

"At that time, a group of pirates came from West Blue and brought a young whale from the island..."

A touching story to tell,

Luffy and the others fell silent.

"Are they not coming back?"

"Ah, the Grand Line is so dangerous that they should have died a long time ago."

Everyone felt a little sad; this was the Grand Line.

Suddenly, Luffy ran in front of Laboon.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, he fought with Laboon.

After that, he drew a skull with a straw hat on Laboon's head.

"Laboon, our battle isn't over yet! When I become the Pirate King, I'll come back to finish our unfinished battle!" Luffy shouted.

"Om~~~~~~"

Laboon's eyes became misty as he submerged into the sea.

...

Night

Everyone gathered around a fire to warm themselves.

"Hey, why did my compass fail?" Nami exclaimed in surprise.

Crocus looked at Nami, "Don't you know that in the Grand Line, special recording pointers are required?"

"The islands in the Grand Line are rich in minerals, which makes the magnetic field here very chaotic."

"And depending on various complicated factors, all the magnetic fields of the islands form seven paths."

"Anyone who comes here must choose one of the seven paths because only when the magnetic field is registered on an island can they follow the magnetic chain to the next island."

"Of course, if you have an eternal pointer for a specific island, I didn't say that."

After a bit of rhetorical explanation,

Crocus finally provided the Straw Hat crew with some navigation knowledge of the Grand Line.

And Nami lamented that her knowledge was useless here.

"But, if there's no indicator, what should we do next?" Nami panicked.

"Is this what you're talking about?" Su Yi had already asked Luffy for the recording pointer,

To prevent this guy from getting damaged, he especially treasured it.

"Oh, not bad, Su Yi, you did a great job." Nami said happily.

Luffy: "Hey, I really want to see that thing."

"By the way, this guy knows a lot," Zoro suddenly reacted and said.

"Ah, and he's an incredible doctor who can treat such a huge whale." Usopp also praised.

Su Yi was sitting in a chair a bit away at that moment, with his legs crossed and an inscrutable expression, "Don't you know? The other side is the crew of One Piece."

"Don't pose there!" Luffy grumbled.

"Alright," Su Yi could only correct his sitting posture and said solemnly, "The other side is the crew of One Piece."

"That's what it seems... Nani?!!!" Luffy just said something, and suddenly his mouth dropped, hitting the ground.

"Your reflection arc is too long!" the others roared.

Immediately,

Everyone looked at Crocus in unison.

Crocus also decisively admitted, "Ah, I worked as a ship's doctor on Roger's ship for a while."

"Damn!!"

Everyone was stunned; they didn't expect the crew of the legendary One Piece Roger to actually be standing in front of them alive.

"Wait, how did you know him, Su Yi?"

The group turned their heads in unison and looked at Su Yi.

Su Yi's face was inscrutable,

"Everyone said not to pose!"

"Alright," Su Yi straightened up, "Most people only care about One Piece, but I care about the people surrounding Roger, so I collected some old newspapers and learned things related to Roger."

He looked at Crocus, of course, he couldn't tell the truth, but he also opened his mouth to tell a lie.

—So, do you know where the monkey is? Usopp finally asked a question that piqued everyone's curiosity, but this time it marked everyone's curiosity.

The corners of Crocus's mouth lifted as he looked at Luffy, "Kid, you said you wanted to become the Pirate King, why, do you want me to tell you where the One Piece is?"

"No, I don't!" Luffy directly refused.

"Wait, Luffy, this is a great opportunity!" insisted Usopp.

Luffy looked at Usopp and said, "If you tell me where the One Piece is, then I won't be a pirate."

"Okay, okay, calm down Luffy, we won't ask, don't ask." Usopp was afraid of his captain's temperament and felt that at some point he was just obsessive-compulsive, wanting to find the treasure himself.

Colex smiled at Luffy, "This is what you said; I won't tell you if you ask me later."

Luffy also smiled, "I'll find the One Piece myself and become the Pirate King!"

A smile suddenly appeared on Crocus's previously expressionless face, and he said to himself, "This is the pirate we've been waiting for, right? What an interesting man, right? Roger."
