Chereads / One piece: I can steal Devil Fruit skills! / Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: "Demon Hunter"

Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: "Demon Hunter"

"This is the result of the recent emergency meeting at the Marine Corps Base. This man is a terrifying monster known as the 'Demon Hunter'!"

"It is said that he single-handedly sank a warship of the Navy and seriously injured a Colonel with the power of a Devil Fruit! His strength is unfathomable!"

"After the balance of the high management of the Marines, his bounty was set at 30 million Baileys!"

The Marine soldier holding the bounty in his hand was sweating profusely and spoke out loud.

"What? A real big pirate with a bounty of 30 million Baileys, how could he be on a ship like this?"

"This must be his pirate ship, right?"

"Aren't we doomed? You should know that even the legendary 'leader' Krieg only has a bounty of 17 million Baileys."

The patrons of the restaurant were talking amongst themselves, and some people had already started to flee.

"Hey, hey, how could a big pirate with a 30 million bounty show up in a place like this, and he's on such a small sailboat? The key is that I just insulted him..."

At this moment, Fullbody was regretting his life choices.

He felt utterly collapsed, thinking that his life was about to end here.

Not long ago, he had chased and killed Krieg, but that was also when Krieg's fleet disintegrated and the flagship was nearly rotting.

According to his reliable information, the people on Krieg's ship had long been without food or drink, their combat effectiveness had dropped to the lowest point.

He was scared at that time.

And just the man in front of him had defeated the existence of a Navy warship! It was something he couldn't handle at all!

"Retreat, retreat!"

Fullbody suddenly turned and fled, running for his life faster than he ever had, almost rolling and crawling, not even caring about his partner.

Two minutes later, the once aggressive and dominant Marine warship had vanished suddenly beyond the horizon.

"Demon Hunter... A good title." On the Golden Meri, Su Yi rubbed his chin and murmured thoughtfully.

"That's not the point!" Usopp shouted from the side:

"30 million Baileys, do you know what that means, Su Yi?"

"Right now, the merman Arlong has the highest bounty in East Blue. It is rumored that the merman's arm strength is ten times that of humans! Arlong is the best among the mermen, but even he only has a bounty of 20 million Baileys."

"What the hell did you do, Su Yi!?"

Su Yi waved his hand, "Isn't it just 30 million Baileys? There's no need to make such a fuss. Our captain will be the man who becomes the Pirate King in the future, and 30 million Baileys are nothing compared to the small fry on One Piece's ship."

Su Yi's words left Usopp and the others silent.

30 million Baileys was already the highest bounty in East Blue, the weakest sea in the world.

However, in their eyes, they were already considered big pirates.

Could it be that their vision was so narrow in Su Yi's eyes?

"Yeah, if you can't even reach 30 million Baileys, how can you become the number one swordsman in the world?" Zoro suddenly laughed.

"If I were also wanted for 30 million Baileys, I should be considered a fairly famous sea warrior, right?" Usopp muttered to himself.

Only Nami, on the side, had a gleam in her eyes, "30 million Baileys, how much is that? Su Yi, or we can sell you! You're so strong that you can escape from the Marines, so we can keep making money."

Su Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Having a teammate who was trying to sell him was quite embarrassing.

But to his surprise, Nami did not fall into silence after hearing the name "Arlong."

This was somewhat unexpected to him.

You know, in the original story, it was Nami who saw Arlong's wanted poster and drove the Golden Meri to find Arlong when Luffy and the others weren't paying attention.

Could it be that because of his presence, some kind of change had occurred in Nami of this world?

At that moment, a boat suddenly floated into view from a distance.

A thin, haggard man with a sallow face was sitting in a small boat.

He didn't even look at the Golden Meri and went straight to the restaurant on the sea.

"Hey, hurry up and bring me something to eat!"

Su Yi's eyes lingered on the other side for a while.

"'Phantom Man' Gin... He doesn't seem to have appeared at this point in the original story. Well, but it doesn't matter; finding Sanji is more important."

"Let's go, I'm hungry. Since I've come to the most famous restaurant at sea, how can I not eat?" Su Yi patted his belly, and Luffy suddenly became euphoric, his mouth constantly repeating, "I want to eat meat!"

"I'm hungry too," said Zoro.

Then, a group of them followed Gin's lead toward the restaurant.

At this moment, the people in the restaurant had already fled.

All the chefs were running away. On one hand, they were worried that Su Yi would attack the restaurant. On the other hand, they were annoyed that the customers were fleeing.

"Welcome, sir," a cook ran up to Su Yi and the others, speaking in a flattering tone, his face full of smiles.

"We don't welcome the poor here." On the other hand, Gin was met with a different reception. The chefs of the Sea Restaurant clearly did not welcome Gin, who looked like he had no money.

"Are you looking for death?" Gin pulled out a gun and aimed it at the chef, but the chef simply knocked Gin to the ground and dragged his ankle toward the back door.

"Hey, don't come here to eat if you don't have money," the chef muttered as he walked away, ignoring the shocked expressions of Usopp and the others.

"Hey, Su Yi, it seems something is wrong with the chef here," Usopp whispered to Su Yi.

"Don't you know? The chefs here are all outlaws, wanted criminals, pirates." Su Yi said in a surprised tone.

"Nani?!!" Usopp was shocked.

"It's no use changing for 10,000 Baileys." At this moment, Su Yi finished ordering, but the food here was a bit too expensive; 10,000 Baileys could be enough for a common family in a small village to live on for several months
