One Piece: Starting with Coercion and Enticement of Nami

After saying this, he gestured for Thoth to put it down, then looked at Nami with a helpless expression in his eyes:

"You've already made up your mind? You've already removed Ah Long's and the others' tattoos, so why are you thinking about getting new ones?"

Nami said with a grin, "Although the tattoo is gone, some marks remain forever, so I've decided to get a pretty new one to cover up those marks."

Naga, feeling helpless, took the tattoo design Nami handed him. "What's this?"

The overall impression is that it looks like a cross or a windmill, and it also has a beautiful orange pattern at the top.

Na Gao shook his head helplessly, "Other people's tattoos are tigers, dragons, swords, and this is all you have."

Nami stuck out her tongue. "I just need someone cute yet sophisticated. Okay, enough talk, Doctor, get started!"

As he spoke, he lay down on the bed.

The doctor had no choice but to start mixing special pigments, and soon began this delicate work.

Before long, a beautiful and exquisite sky-blue tattoo appeared on her shoulder, completely covering the original mark on Nami's left arm.

At this point, all traces left by Ah Long had completely disappeared.

After the tattoo was finished, Dr. Gao gave him some instructions on what to pay attention to over the next two days, then looked at Thoth with a smile:

"Hey Tote, how about you get a cool tattoo for fun?"

Nami blinked at Thoth, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. Thoth raised an eyebrow, then shook his head with a smile:

"I haven't decided yet. I'll think about it when I find someone I like!"

The doctor smiled and nodded; he was just asking casually and joking.

Nami wasn't surprised, after all, tattoos aren't exactly something fun.

The three said goodbye to Dr. Naga.

As I strolled through the village streets, the villagers were incredibly enthusiastic, showering me with all sorts of fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats.

The village has quietly begun to change.

When they got home, they looked at the pile of fruit and ingredients on the table, and the three of them exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness.

036. Rapid progress!

"Phew! Thank goodness we have Tote, the big eater, at home, otherwise I would really be having a headache dealing with all this food."

Nokiko chuckled and turned to look at the two of them. "Tonight, I'm preparing a feast for you. Get ready to eat your fill!"

Nami looked at the pile of ingredients on the table with a grin. If this were when she was a child, she would have laughed herself awake at night.

"Do you know what the first element is if you want to become stronger?"

What is most important?

Sitting at the table, drinking water, Thoth's voice came from behind.

Upon hearing this, Nokiko replied with a smile:

"Talent? Effort?"

"Unwavering will?"

Nami blinked and followed suit.

Toth shook his head:

"One word: Eat!"

"Eat?" ×2

Seeing their surprised expressions followed by thoughtful ones, Thoth smiled and said:

"That's right. If you want to become stronger, your body needs to get the necessary nutrients."

At this point, a hint of astonishment unconsciously appeared in Toth's eyes:

"Most of the edible species living in our world are rich in nutrients, especially the powerful beasts that live in the deep mountains and oceans."

The meat is not only delicious, but also more nutritious.

"I've heard people say that you know why those powerful beings on the Great Voyage are so strong? It's because they have been feeding on all sorts of powerful beasts that have been bred in the dangerous environment there for a long time."

Just like the fish-people, they grew up in the deep sea and ate sea monsters and sea kings from the deep sea.

So, you guys should all eat more with me from now on. I've heard an interesting point of view: a big eater isn't necessarily strong, but a strong person is definitely a big eater.

The two stared at Tote in astonishment. This concept was indeed quite novel. They exchanged a glance, because their appetites were only that of an average person.

Nami's lips twitched. "But if I eat a lot, won't I get fat?"

Noki nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Thoth gave Nocigo a strange look, making her feel awkward. After a few seconds, she said helplessly:

Why are you looking at me?

Thoth sighed: "The Devil Fruit Encyclopedia records that the Smooth-Smooth Fruit's ability can also be described as a passive characteristic, which is to allow the user to maintain absolute physical perfection."

Are you still worried about gaining weight?

Noki blinked, her lips unconsciously curving upwards. She couldn't resist touching her smooth cheek and said with a smile:

"Oh my! Does that mean I'll never gain weight again?"

Nami stared blankly to the side, her eyes practically overflowing with envy. She sniffed and looked at Thoth with a sullen expression.

"But I don't want to get fat."

“Then train. As long as you keep up with the intensity, you won’t gain weight. Besides, we have money. I plan to hire the village restaurant to deliver meals to us every day.”

I will be conducting systematic and intensive training for the two of you over the next period of time.

We need to prepare for our voyage.

Nami, you're not 15 yet, and Nojiko's body is now perfectly molded and extremely malleable. This is the time for you two to build a solid foundation.

Toth spoke earnestly, but after saying this, he looked at the two of them again:

"Of course, I can give you a chance to refuse now."

Upon hearing this, Nami rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "You think I would refuse?"

She didn't have the time or anyone to teach her before, but now that she has the opportunity, she certainly won't refuse it.

Noki smiled and remained silent.

They are all aware of this.

Seeing this, Thoth nodded: "Good, I see your conviction."

Let me make this clear from the start: you're not allowed to slack off during the training.

Because by then I will be absolutely heartless, and I will not show you the slightest mercy just because you are women.

Nami and Thoth looked at each other, but gritted their teeth and accepted it, because they knew that Thoth would never harm them.

“Then,” Thoth said with a bright smile, “let’s cherish this last bit of leisure time today!”

Both of them twitched at the corners of their mouths, sensing that things were probably not going to be easy for them.

Nokiko smiled helplessly: "Then I'll go prepare dinner."

At this point, her eyes flickered slightly:

“Tote, our last get-together was ruined by Ah Long and his gang, so I’m thinking of inviting Ah Jian over today as well.”

Nami blinked, and Thoth nodded:

"Great! It'll be lively with lots of people. I also have something I'd like to ask Ah-Jian."

A smile appeared on Nami's face:

“Then I’ll go call Ah Jian. I also have something I want to ask him.”

After saying that, she rushed out in a hurry. Nokiko was speechless and called out to her retreating figure:

"Bring back some good wine!"

Nami's voice rang out from afar: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll bring back the good wine that A-Jian has been hoarding."

Nokiko's lips curved slightly, Thoth shook his head with a smile, and the girl winked at Thoth:

"If you're not too busy, could you help me prepare the ingredients?"

Toth shrugged. "No problem."

Therefore,

The two of them took the ingredients into the kitchen.

They worked together, chatting and laughing.

Not long after, Ah Jian's hearty laughter came from outside. Nami brought Ah Jian into the house carrying several bottles of good wine.

Thoth was freed and Nami was put in charge of cooking in the kitchen.

Tote and A-Jian sat at the dining table, eating fried peanuts, drinking wine, and chatting about various recent maritime news.

"By the way, Uncle Jian, I heard you guys are planning to melt down and recast those six long swords that Xiao Ba has, each weighing 300 kilograms?"

Ah Jian raised an eyebrow and asked cheerfully, "What? Got any ideas?"

Ah Jian now regards Tote as his own junior.

Thoth nodded: "I want three iron rods, eyebrow-length rods, two according to Noki's height, and one according to Nami's height."

Nojiko's sword weighs 1 ton, and hers weighs 200 pounds; Nami's sword weighs 100 pounds.

"What is this?"

Ah Jian was curious, and Tote didn't hide anything, so he told them about his plan to teach them the next stage of their cultivation.

“Good. If a girl is going to venture out into the world, she naturally needs to have the ability to protect herself. Tote, you’re very thoughtful.”

Ah Jian sighed.

However, Ah Jian hesitated for a few seconds before adding a slightly embarrassed comment:

"By the way, I was just wondering if you have the capacity to teach a few more?"

"Uncle Jian also wants to cultivate?"

Thoth was curious, and A-Jian was taken aback:

“Me? No, no, I mean a few teenagers in the village.”

Thoth's eyes flashed, he pondered for a few seconds, then looked at A-Jian and said:

"Two at most, I don't have the energy for more than that. But since it's already like this, Uncle Jian, you can come along too!"

I can see some signs of training on you, so I'll take this opportunity to help you refine your skills.

I have some experience in swordsmanship.

Ah Jian was taken aback. "I'm almost 43 years old. Isn't it too late to start practicing now?"

"Just treat it as a way to improve your health."

Seeing that Tote had already said so much, Ah Jian stopped being coy and nodded with a smile.

He knew, of course, why Thoth was willing to guide them.

He couldn't help but glance at the two girls in the kitchen, a gentle smile appearing on his lips. A few seconds later, he turned back to look at Thoth:

"My girls are now in your care."

Toth was surprised, then nodded.

After finishing their conversation, the two continued chatting and drinking. At seven o'clock in the evening, the four of them enjoyed a delicious meal together.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was warm and cheerful, filled with laughter. Ah Jian laughed heartily; he hadn't felt this sense of home in a long time.

He is like that, and so is Toth.

Finally, Ah Jian, who was quite drunk, slept on the living room sofa that night.
