One Piece: I Gain Insight Through Touch, with Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Vijay transmigrates to the world of One Piece, only for the town where he lives to be raided by pirates.

In desperation, he awakens an ability that lets him learn someone's skills by touching a corpse or someone who is exhausted or near death.

After accidentally touching a Devil Fruit User, he even learns their Devil Fruit power.

From then on, Vijay sets out to collect Devil Fruit powers, following the Straw Hat Pirates and seeking out defeated Devil Fruit Users to learn their skills.

Other people have to eat a Devil Fruit to gain its powers. He only needs to touch someone, and he doesn't suffer the sea's curse.

Zoro: Your swordsmanship is every bit as good as mine. I salute you!

Luffy: How can you have so many abilities all by yourself? That's not fair!

Chopper: It's not fair, it's not fair! He's already so strong and handsome!

Vijay: Only those who aren't cursed by the sea are worthy of conquering it.

As he grows stronger, he starts defeating opponents to gain their abilities, becoming the strongest fighter in the Straw Hat Pirates.
