One Piece: Starting with Coercion and Enticement of Nami

Nami was utterly speechless.

"Ruthless and vicious is more like it. I saw it with my own eyes. Those who messed with you were stabbed to death by you, one sword at a time."

"They want my life? Do they expect me to repay evil with kindness? My belief is: if someone treats me with respect, I will repay them with respect in return."

The rest wasn't mentioned, because Thoth had already led the way towards the front deck. Nami watched Thoth's retreating figure, pursing her lips and thinking to herself:

"So, you won't hold back against those who are mean to you?"

What about me? I stole your wallet and almost made you sleep on the streets!

So what do you think of me? You're not going to break my legs one day, are you?

She shook her head and quickly followed.

……

Hai Qiu,  Long, �Shao Kuangzhan Die Dai 

The fighting has ceased here; the sea monster is gone.

One group consisted of the elderly people on the ship, while the other group consisted of the newcomers.

They gripped various weapons tightly, and amidst the palpable tension, a strange atmosphere permeated the air.

They glared at each other, but there was little intention to kill.

Instead, they were on the open space on the ship's deck.

At this moment, the two groups are also in opposition.

But it was filled with murderous intent, as if it were a fight to the death.

Norton, along with the second and third officers, the navigator, and four other elderly men on board.

The other group consisted of Hisoka and the burly young man, along with seven new faces wielding swords.

"Norton, our entire group is in big trouble under your foolish leadership. I hope you will step down gracefully, or I will personally make you graceful."

Thoth had just arrived when he heard First Mate Hisoka say such things, and Thoth's arrival was seen by both groups.

Instantly, all eyes turned to them, while Nami silently shielded Thoth in front of her.

Norton's gaze was fierce, and he reflexively asked coldly, "And who are you?"

Thoth's gaze was subtle. How could he not recognize him? After cleaning himself up, had he really changed that much? Or was Thoth blind?

"Oh? Isn't this Tote? I'm quite surprised!"

Hisoka's eyes lit up, and he looked at Thoth with a smile, while Thoth's face darkened. "That damn gay guy."

However, his insight was indeed sharp. Thoth looked at them with a half-smile, as if in doubt, and asked:

"What's going on? What kind of fun game are you playing?"

Hisoka smiled broadly, extended his right hand to Thoth, and said:

“Norton is a terrible captain. If he continues to lead us, we will all die. So I’m planning to kick him off the ship. Thoth, you’ll be on my side, right?”

Thoth's gaze remained unchanged as he looked at Norton, whose expression was cold and hard. Seeing Hisoka still trying to win people over, Norton's eyes twitched with resentment.

"Thoth, let's take down that traitor Hisoka together, and you'll get the third mate position."

Thoth narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to look at Hisoka, and chuckled softly:

"Although Captain Norton is indeed not very bright, First Mate, you are being far too stingy. You ask me to help you, but you won't give me any benefit in return."

Norton's face darkened at the insult, but Hisoka was even more furious, gritting his teeth as he said:

"Thoth, do you think you're worthy? You're nothing but a lackey. Do you really think Norton would let you be the third mate? Use your brain and think it over carefully."

He just wants to use you as cannon fodder!

Thoth nodded calmly, as if agreeing with him, and strode toward the mainmast a few meters away.

As he walked, he drew his long sword from his waist, and under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Thoth arrived at the mainmast.

A flash of cold light slashed through the air.

bass!

Immediately afterward, to everyone's astonishment, the mast snapped with a crack in the sea breeze, its smooth cut falling towards the hull.

Boom! A loud crash, and wood chips flew everywhere.

A mainmast separated Thoth and his men from the deck.

At this moment, Thoth's calm words reached their ears:

"And now? I think I'm qualified to be the last straw that breaks the camel's back, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes twitched violently.

Hisoka, in particular, felt a chill run down his spine.

But just as they were about to speak, Toth waved to stop them, his figure retreating towards the cabin entrance.

"Although I am not very strong, I am confident that I can get one of you, the captain or the first mate, to come with me."

Amidst their dark expressions, Thoth suddenly grinned and looked at Norton:

"Captain Norton, this is the last time I, Thoth, will call you that."

To be honest, life on this ship was very unpleasant, so I have decided to announce at this moment that I am leaving Norton Cruises.

I will not interfere with your rebellion or suppression today, but I hope you will not bother me when I leave.

Because my sword is still quite sharp.

As they spoke, Thoth led Nami to the cabin entrance. With a calm gaze, he raised his hand to signal them:

"Please do as you please, just treat me like air. Fight on the ship or down below, it's up to you."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Thoth's arrival and the display of his powerful henchmen made him impossible for them to ignore.

"Sure. As long as you don't interfere, you can leave whenever you want afterward. I guarantee it."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Norton's lips curled into a savage smile, and he roared, "Go!"

As soon as he shouted "Go!", he charged towards Hisoka.

Hisoka's eyes turned fierce, and he didn't care about Thoth. He immediately drew his sword and charged forward.

In the blink of an eye, roars rang out, and the battle was about to begin, escalating into a fierce contest.

Nami stared intently at Thoth's retreating figure, then glanced outside to make sure no one was watching before quietly slipping back inside.

Treasure, here I come!

Thoth smiled slightly. Nami was indeed clever, with a keen eye for timing.

It was worth it for my cleverness in creating this great opportunity.

Swords clashed fiercely, roars echoed, and Norton, wielding his sword, pressed down on Hisoka and slashed wildly.

The latter looked shocked, clearly not expecting Norton to have such a hidden trick up his sleeve.

A scream suddenly rang out, the battle situation changed, and Thoth's eyes widened suddenly.

Suddenly, the burly young man's body underwent a dramatic transformation and swelled, his shirt bursting through his explosively large muscles.

It has thick, short fur all over its body. The fur on its face, chest, and limbs is jet black, but the fur on its head, back, and even the top of its tail is pure silver-white.

"A Zoan-type Devil Fruit user?"

015. "Long time no see?"

"Honey badger?"

Suddenly, he transformed and swiftly struck the second mate's chest with a claw.

The latter screamed and flew backward, with five deep, fatal wounds appearing on his chest, revealing his internal organs writhing.

He fell not far away, blood gushing from his mouth and nose; he was clearly not going to survive.

"Hahahaha, you stupid bastards, you've probably never seen what a Devil Fruit user is, have you?"

Darwin saw the astonished gazes of everyone around him drawn to him, and his eyes gleamed with satisfaction. This could be considered his debut battle, and his urge to speak was instantly overwhelming.

"Are you all shocked? Yes, you read that right, I ate the legendary ocean treasure, the Demon Fruit."

I ate the Devil Fruit of the Honey Badger, a fearless animal-type Devil Fruit.

"Come, surrender or die!"

Hisoka's eyes flickered, Norton's eye twitched violently, and the third mate and navigator were even more incredulous that the second mate, who was even stronger than them, had been killed so easily.

The navigator's eyes trembled, then he rolled his eyes and forced a fawning smile:

"Lord Darwin, I am a navigator. Do you think it's alright for me to abandon the darkness and join the light?"

Darwin's lips curled into a smile; this was exactly the effect he wanted. He nodded with a big laugh.

"Of course, the navigator is the most important and indispensable person on the ship."

The third officer, his eyes bulging with rage, shouted:

"Marba, what are you doing? Have you forgotten that we swore an oath to be loyal to the boss forever?"

Marba looked away in shame. Even so, he didn't want to die!

Furthermore, Hai Yan, seemingly oblivious to the situation, let out a cold laugh, speaking with self-righteous indignation:

"You fucking high and mighty? Then you can go die with that idiot Norton! I'm not going to join you."

I told him to tone it down a long time ago, but he wouldn't listen. Now look at him, he's completely alienated from everyone.

"You scum, trying to persuade me? When have you ever taken less than a single cent of the looted treasure?"

Norton's face turned ashen as he stared intently at Malba, questioning her. But then, Darwin turned and looked at Thoth with a half-smile:

"Kid, your name is Tot, right? I'm giving you a chance to rejoin us. You should think it over carefully."

The words carried a hint of threat. Thoth rubbed his temples, feeling helpless. However, he glanced at Norton, noticing the latter's unusually cold gaze. Thoth took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

“Mr. Norton, I don’t think they’ll let you leave here alive today. What are your thoughts on that?”

Norton's eyes flickered slightly. He had already resolved to die, but he also decided that even if he died, he would take one of the three of them with him.

But after hearing what Toth said, he felt that perhaps things could still change:

"Want to join forces? You don't like being threatened, do you?"

Darwin interrupted sharply, giving Thoth a cold look:

"Kid, don't push your luck."

Thoth's eyes darted around, meeting the man's cold gaze, and he inwardly scoffed:

"I've killed quite a few beasts, but this is the first time I've killed a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user. I can try my luck with this one."

"Hisoka, make your move."

With a sharp shout, Darwin took the lead, stomping his feet on the deck and leaping over the mast, charging toward Thoth.

With sharp teeth, razor-sharp claws, and a powerful physique, Darwin charged forward.

Thoth's eyes narrowed; this was probably the strongest opponent he had ever encountered in his life.

With a burst of power from his feet, Thoth took a step forward and slashed horizontally at him with his sword.

A cold light appeared in the air, Darwin's pupils contracted, and he swung his right arm, bringing his five claws together to strike Thoth's sword.

Clang!

The condensed attacks collided, producing a piercing metallic clang, and instantly, a savage force was transmitted back from the sword.

Thoth staggered, his sword blade was violently deflected, and he leaned backward.

Darwin smirked. Although his body also leaned back slightly, he used his waist and abdomen to tighten his feet on the deck and bent his legs slightly to gather strength, ready to launch another attack.

But then, with a loud thud, Tote suddenly kicked him squarely, his right foot landing hard on his chest and abdomen.

Interrupted from gathering his strength, Thoth took the opportunity to step back two steps to readjust his stance. Darwin's eyes twitched violently, and he staggered back a few steps.
