One Piece: Heroic Spirits Straw Hat Pirates!

"What incredible power… Can I really wield something like that?"

Nami stood dazed, eyes fixed ahead. Even though the image of Cana had already vanished, she remained frozen in thought.

"As long as you inherit Cana's Heroic Spirit template, you'll naturally be able to wield her powers."

"If you're really lacking confidence, I can lend you a Devil Fruit to help you master her strength."

Genrou patted her on the shoulder.

"Thanks, Genrou. If nothing unexpected happens… I think I'll probably choose her template."

"Even without that last move, just the elemental control is already amazing enough."

Nami's eyes flickered as she mentally began strategizing how she could apply Cana's card magic in battle.

"So cool! That move just now was a laser, right? Way stronger and bigger than the Golden Deer's cannon blasts!"

"So awesome, I wanna see it again! Hey Genrou, Cana said something about the three great spells of Fairy Tail—does that mean there are two more of those incredible laser moves?"

Luffy's eyes sparkled with excitement as he turned to Genrou.

"Well… there are indeed two others, but they're quite different from 'Fairy Glitter.'"

"Besides, Cana doesn't actually possess those two. Strictly speaking, even 'Fairy Glitter' was only borrowed."

Genrou nodded as he explained.

"Even if it's borrowed, it's still insanely powerful."

"Genrou… where exactly do you get these Heroic Spirit templates from?"

"Kokushibō's demonification, Toriko's Gourmet Cells, Drake's Noble Phantasm, and now Cana's magic… Are these even powers that exist in this world?"

Nami finally asked the question that had been lingering in her heart.

"If you can use them, that's all that matters."

"These Heroic Spirits' powers… just think of them as ancient forces long lost to history."

"But anyway, aren't you curious about the last one? The 'Thief'—Satou Kazuma, Miss Nami the Cat Burglar?"

Hearing Genrou's words, Nami nodded slightly.

Even though she'd already mostly decided to choose Cana, she couldn't help but be curious about the mysterious "Thief" Kazuma.

As her hand pressed down on "Satou Kazuma," the Heroic Spirit Space shifted once again.

One second later, they found themselves in a quiet alley.

Aside from the group, there were just two people—a man and a woman.

"Steal!"

The man shouted, stretching out his hand toward the woman. A flash of light erupted, and suddenly, a sheer, silky object appeared in his hand.

"Huh? Jackpot! It's panties!!"

The man laughed uproariously, swinging the underwear in his hand, completely ignoring the flustered, red-faced girl in front of him.

"Ugh, what a perv!"

Nami spat in disgust. She didn't need any more confirmation—this man was obviously the infamous "Thief" Satou Kazuma.

Even so, she was genuinely curious as to how he managed to steal a woman's undergarment from several meters away.

"Hey, Zoro, did you see how he did it?"

Luffy jabbed Zoro with his elbow, eyes gleaming with curiosity.

"Not clearly… but it looked like the panties just appeared out of thin air."

Zoro rested a hand on his katana.

Despite how ridiculous it seemed, he couldn't laugh.

If this skill was used on a swordsman like him, it could be devastating.

All three—Luffy, Nami, and Zoro—turned to Genrou, waiting for an explanation.

"'Steal' is the reason Kazuma is considered a 'Thief' Heroic Spirit."

"Nami, unlike your typical sleight-of-hand thefts, his is pure magic."

"Once the spell is cast, there's a chance to steal an item from the target."

"The higher your luck stat, the higher the success rate—and the more likely you'll steal something valuable."

"And as for this guy, Kazuma's Luck is ridiculously high. He can steal someone's most precious possessions with ease."

"Also… probably due to his perverted mindset, when he uses it on women, there's a high probability he'll steal their underwear."

Genrou shrugged, grinning.

"Ugh! Not just a pervert—he's a straight-up degenerate!"

Nami snapped.

"Whoa! So that means he could just steal someone's meat straight off the grill?"

Luffy asked, awestruck.

"You're saying if he used that on a swordsman, he might actually steal their weapon?"

Zoro muttered, clearly unnerved.

Genrou simply chuckled and snapped his fingers.

The scene shifted again, showing Kazuma using Steal on various other women—successfully acquiring underwear each time.

Watching this, Nami turned red with embarrassment and fury.

"What the hell?! Is that all this guy can do?"

"I don't need this Heroic Spirit at all. I can steal valuables just fine on my own—without any of this pervert stuff."

Nami shook her head decisively.

"Kazuma obviously has more than just Steal. As an adventurer, he's not strong, but he's learned a wide variety of techniques."

As Genrou spoke, the scene shifted again—showing Kazuma in combat.

Sniping, stealth, and various elemental spells erupted from his hands, dazzling even Luffy.

Just as Luffy was getting hyped up, the scene suddenly took a sharp turn—Kazuma got taken out by a monster due to his teammate's error, and his lifeless body fell to the ground.

"…Huh? He died just like that?"

Nami frowned.

In all three Heroic Spirit experiences, this was the first time she saw someone die in the vision.

"Kazuma's Heroic Spirit template has a unique ability—something far beyond any Noble Phantasm."

"The Blessing of the Goddess Aqua."

"Anyone who inherits Kazuma's template, even if they die, can be resurrected through the goddess's divine power."

As Genrou spoke, the group stared at him in disbelief.

He pointed toward the vision—where the blue-haired goddess named Aqua was casting a resurrection spell.

Within moments, Kazuma—who had clearly been dead—opened his eyes and stood back up.

"Wait, wait! That's way too overpowered, Vice-Captain!"

Zoro said, his voice trembling with emotion.

"Resurrection? If someone really had this power, then all those people who've died before…"

"And that power—shouldn't it belong to her?"

Zoro's hands shook as he stared intensely at Aqua, the blue-haired goddess.

At that moment, he thought of an old friend—Kuina, the one he'd lost long ago.
