"Well, the taste of this steak is really good, and in fact, it's the food of the pirate world."
As he ate, Su Yi silently followed all of Eric's movements.
He had already made a decision. According to the memories of the body he inhabited, Luffy shouldn't have set sail at this moment.
Eric likely hadn't been recruited by the Navy yet. "Hehe, this is an opportunity; in the anime, the Kama Kama no Mi is one of the best Devil Fruit abilities in East Blue."
The Kama Kama no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that can cut with transparent blades of wind from the user's fingers.
In the anime, the power is average.
But Su Yi believes that there is no such thing as a stronger Devil Fruit, only stronger users of Devil Fruits.
The simplest example is the Shock Fruit in the hands of Whitebeard, which can destroy the world, but if it's consumed by a worthless fish, even if it hits someone to death, it won't be able to destroy a house.
And if Whitebeard were to eat the Kama Kama Fruit, it would be easy for him to split an island with a single move!
"I have to decide on this fruit ability!"
"It wouldn't be bad to try 'Skill Hunter' with this guy."
Su Yi took the last bite of his steak, downed his orange juice in one go, patted his back, and left.
... Five minutes later, a mysterious man in a cloak entered the tavern.
The man sat down in front of Eric.
Eric, who was eating, looked up suspiciously. "Huh? Kid, don't just sit and eat in front of others!"
It was Su Yi wearing the cloak. At that moment, Su Yi placed a stack of cards on the table and pretended to be mysterious: "Hehe, I believe I have a fate with you, so let me give you a reading."
"Huh? A reading? What the hell is that?"
Eric had a suspicious look on his face, but Su Yi had already pulled out three cards and revealed one with a Western dragon.
"Hmm ~ You must be interested in 'Dragon,' right?"
Swipe.
Eric's expression suddenly changed.
"What do you know?!" He wasn't stupid. He was currently searching for the thousand-year-old dragon that could grant immortality through its bones, which contain an elixir for eternal life. As a result, someone had found him and said they were interested in a "dragon."
He pointed a finger, seemingly about to attack.
Su Yi smiled; even if the opponent did attack, he could use his mind to defend against the attack.
He could even force the action to complete the four conditions needed to steal the opponent's fruit ability.
It's just that he didn't like to make things too big, so he chose this softer approach. He waved his hand with a calm look on his face, "Calm down, I know you're a capable person, but I'm also capable. My ability is to predict the future."
"Then help me find where what I'm looking for is!"
Eric was stunned by Su Yi's sudden claim and, without a doubt, placed his hand on the cover of the Thief's Book.
Condition 3 fulfilled.
Su Yi smiled, "I want to ask first, what kind of fruit are you eating?"
Eric suddenly became vigilant, "Why are you asking this?"
Su Yi waved his hand: "Don't get nervous. The more I know, the more accurate my predictions will be. Plus, I just want to know what type of department you are, and I won't ask about your specific abilities."
Paramecia.
Eric was persuaded and gave the answer Su Yi wanted.
Condition 2 fulfilled.
Su Yi snapped his fingers.
"Battleship Island, what you want is there."
After Su Yi finished speaking, he didn't pause for a moment; he simply stood up and was about to leave.
Eric stood there stunned for a moment. In fact, he had also gained some information and aimed his target at Battleship Island.
"This guy didn't lie!"
Eric suddenly got up and ran out of the tavern without even paying the bill.
However, Su Yi's figure had long since disappeared without a trace.
"Damn it! I should have asked that guy more questions!"
Eric hit his chest and stopped just as he was about to return to the tavern. Suddenly, he felt a killing aura coming from behind him.
He turned around abruptly and saw a runaway cart coming toward him, the cart was filled with barrels.
If this hit, he'd be bedridden for months if he didn't die.
"Sickle, scythe, scythe... Whirlwind!"
Immediately, Eric activated his fruit ability, waved his arm suddenly, and sent several transparent wind blades, directly slicing the cart to pieces!
Crash!
Alcohol sprayed all over Eric, and he turned away with a grim expression on his face.
Not long after he left, Su Yi emerged from the crowd,
Holding a book in his right hand, he opened the first page, and a strange fruit pattern was printed on it.
Name: Scythe Fruit
Owner: Eric
...
"It's in hand."
The corners of Su Yi's mouth twitched slightly.
He reached a deserted alley.
Holding the Thief's Book in his right hand, he turned to the first page.
Suddenly, his left hand waved.
Gera—
He felt a resistance against his nails in the air,
Immediately, an invisible wind blade shot out!
Whoosh!
The wind blade sliced directly through the wall in front of him, leaving deep marks.
"It's time to set sail and find Luffy."
Su Yi had already figured out the next route for development.
He wasn't familiar with this world, and the only thing he was familiar with was the main storyline, so it was a good option to follow the protagonist Luffy all the way into adventure.
Moreover, with the blessing of the protagonist's halo, at least he could save his life; if he took risks alone, he could die.
