One Piece: Starting with Coercion and Enticement of Nami

"Give me...give me my life. I don't want to die."

Upon hearing this, Thoth's expression suddenly became calm, and he stared at him intently as he reiterated:

"The girl named Nami you're looking for is one of my people. You came here to cause trouble, and I accepted it. So, do you still want to bother her?"

"No... I wouldn't dare."

The mouse hissed in alarm.

Thoth's eyes seemed to show helplessness. "It's not that you're afraid, it's that you feel like you're about to die."

As soon as Thoth finished speaking, he took a step forward and stood in front of a marine three meters away. He kicked the marine hard in the chest, and the marine's eyes bulged out as he screamed and flew backward.

It crashed straight into four or five people who had rolled over.

Thoth sneered, grabbed the rat, and charged into the crowd, punching and kicking it until people were sprawled out and screaming in agony.

The marines panicked and sprang into action. In his panic, one of them pulled the trigger of his rifle, and bang! A lead bullet was fired at Totto.

His Observation Haki had already been released, and at this moment, Thoth picked up a rat weighing less than 200 pounds and used his body to block the bullet.

With a thud, the rat let out a piercing scream as it was shot in the thigh.

The marines looked panicked. Totto flashed in front of one of the marines and, taking advantage of his momentary daze, snatched the sailor's knife from his hand.

With a flick of his wrist, he slashed at the man's chest, blood splattering everywhere. The marine let out a scream, then was kicked away by Thoth.

At this moment, the villagers around were stunned by what they saw. But after a few seconds of bewilderment, someone shouted, and all the villagers clenched their fists and took a step forward to join the fight.

Thoth looked at him coldly and said in a calm voice, "This is my business, and you are not allowed to interfere."

The villagers were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Ah Jian, who had rushed forward, stopped with a complex expression in his eyes.

He stopped, but Thoth didn't. Holding a knife in one hand and the rat's right leg in the other, he weaved through the naval ranks, swinging the rat to smash down one marine after another, and wielding his knife to cut them down one by one.

In less than three minutes, all thirty-odd marines on the field were lying on the ground groaning in pain, their bodies covered in blood.

At this moment, Thoth casually tossed aside the flat-nosed, swollen-faced rat in his hand, and looked up at the remaining marines on the warship not far away on the shore, who were stunned and terrified upon discovering the situation.

With a swift movement, he rushed over at an extremely fast speed.

Upon reaching the shore, he leaped onto the warship, which was several meters high, and ran back and forth on the deck with a sailor's knife in hand, cutting down the remaining thirty-odd marines.

A few moments later, Thoth went back and forth several times, and finally picked up the sailors from the warship and threw them into the pile of sailors on the shore.

At this moment, I glanced at Dr. Gao:

"Take the villagers with you and bring them all the medical equipment from your clinic."

Dr. Naga was taken aback when he saw that although the marines present were seriously injured, they were not dead. He quickly gathered his men and hurriedly left the place.

Tote then looked at A-Jian:

“Go home and get that bill from the drawer in my room. Also, get me ten million Berries from the cabinet.”

Ah Jian's gaze was complicated. He nodded and decisively set off to leave.

After giving his orders, Thoth walked past the marines to the mouse, who was slumped on the ground, groaning in pain as he pressed his bleeding leg.

With his eyes lowered, gripping the knife, he calmly looked at him. The rat, stiff as a board, slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Thoth.

"What...what are you going to do?"

Thoth tilted his head slightly to look at him:

"Am I qualified to speak to you right now?"

The mouse's eyes twitched violently, and it nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, you definitely have it."

Thoth sneered, "Tell me, aren't you despicable?"

"I'm despicable, I'm despicable," the rat said, sweat dripping from its forehead, bowing and scraping with a fawning expression.

"Speak! What is your purpose in coming here? Don't think I can't guess. I'm giving you one last chance. If you dare to lie, I'll punish you severely today!"

Hearing Thoth's threatening words, the mouse gave a bitter smile that looked like it was about to cry, and immediately told the truth.

Sure enough, this bastard came for the stolen money Nami had taken.

However, he simply didn't know the exact number.

"You really are a jerk!"

Thoth calmly cursed, while the rat pursed his lips, his face flushed red, not because of a pang of conscience, but because of the subtle contemptuous looks from the marines on the ground around him.

"Will you report what happened today to Naval Headquarters?"

Tote suddenly spoke.

The mouse's face froze for a moment, then, with a forced smile, it waved its hands repeatedly, its face full of obsequiousness:

"No, no, this was all an accident, it has absolutely nothing to do with you."

Tote remained silent and did not comment further.

A short while later, Dr. Gao and his team brought the medical kit.

Thoth smiled, took it from his hand, put on medical gloves, wiggled his fingers, and then looked at the mouse, a slow smile playing on his lips.

"Colonel, you are injured and need medical treatment."

Looking at the rat's pale face, Thoth calmly said, "You'd better keep quiet, or I can't guarantee I won't cut open the arteries in your leg."

As he spoke, he crouched down, and with a flash of his sharp scalpel, cut open the fabric of his pants. Thoth looked at the bullet wound, pressed his fingers to locate the bullet, placed the scalpel against the wound, and with a soft "plop," cut open the wound without anesthesia. The rat immediately let out a scream.

He suddenly straightened up, blood spurting from the wound. Thoth didn't try to dodge, but let the blood splash onto his face.

"Shut up."

Looking at him coldly, the rat noticed the bloodstains on Thoth's face, which made Thoth's face look incredibly grotesque.

The mouse panicked and quickly covered its mouth, its jaw muscles bulging in pain.

Thoth's eyes flashed, and he plunged his index and middle fingers into the wound, forcefully prying the bullet out. The rat's body convulsed violently as if it were writhing.

Undeterred, Tot picked up his needle and thread and slowly and carefully sutured the wound. After the wound was sutured, he applied hemostatic and anti-inflammatory ointment and wrapped it with a bandage.

At this moment, Thoth looked at the panel and saw that the proficiency of "medical skills" had increased. A smile slowly appeared on his face, but in the eyes of the rat, it looked more and more ferocious.

Just then, Ah Jian came over carrying a package. Thoth took it, opened it, took out the bill, and threw it at the mouse.

"Watch closely. If you dare to damage it, I'll kill you."

After saying that, he ignored the rats and looked around at the marines, who were all wounded and skilled in medicine.

Then, amidst a series of piercing wails and howls, Thoth performed open-air sutures on them one by one.

Someone struggled fiercely, and Toth punched him unconscious, but he was woken up by the pain a few seconds later, but then he calmed down.

Thoth was strong and his hands moved quickly and steadily, so each person didn't waste an average of four minutes. After three hours, all sixty-odd people had finished their treatment.

However, the sailors who were treated looked at Thoth with no respect, only a devilish fear.

The initial training is complete.

Thoth then walked up to the rat, picked him up, and carried him to a tree not far away. He then threw away his blood-stained medical gloves and looked indifferently at the rat's pale face.

"There is conclusive evidence that he colluded with Ah Long to oppress a large number of people and accept bribes and stolen money."

"What do you think you'd do if I handed this to that supposedly elite naval officer from Naval Headquarters in Loguetown, someone who's upright and intolerant of injustice?"

042. Training complete!

"..."

The rat stared blankly at Thoth, knowing full well what was going to happen: his naval career was most likely over.

If things go wrong, I might end up in jail.

Even if he has powerful backers, it won't save him, because there are corrupt officials within his ranks. The tough sharks from the Navy's Criminal Investigation Division will personally come to investigate.

Moreover, his own family knows his own affairs; he himself cannot withstand investigation.

Seeing the fear in his eyes, Thoth knew he understood the gravity of the situation, so he calmly spoke:

"Of course, I'm not the kind of person who's ruthless. You are indeed a piece of trash, a piece of trash, but even trash has its uses."

"Let's make a deal. I'll be setting sail after today, but of course, it won't be for seafaring purposes yet."

Your navy has a vast intelligence network in the East China Sea. Sometimes I need intelligence, and I hope you can provide it. Of course, it won't be free; I will pay you different levels of compensation depending on the value of the intelligence.

That way we'll be partners. As long as you behave yourself and don't mess with me, you don't need to worry about me reporting you.

And you, too, can make money, can't you?

Or, we could collaborate more deeply in the future. For example, I could capture a sea monster and you could contribute your achievements, and you could pay me with Baileys or valuable intelligence and weapons? It would be a win-win situation for us.

Of course, you could go back and report me to your superiors, but by then I'll be at sea. You can't exactly run away to Naval Headquarters to hide from me, can you?

This statement was half true and half false, a combination of threat and reassurance.

The mouse stared blankly at Thoth, feeling a sense of relief and hope.

However, he thought to himself, wasn't he being threatened by him? And completely and utterly under his control.

He looked at Toth, still wanting to negotiate, but then he saw the scalpel in Toth's hand.

The words that were about to come out were immediately swallowed back.

The mouse sniffed, and a radiant smile slowly appeared on his face.

Thoth's eyes flashed, knowing that this guy had already given in and was tempted. He immediately looked at Ah Jian not far away and walked over.

He took the package from his hand, went to the rat, placed it in his arms, and said:

"Ten million Berries, this is my reward for our first collaboration. I want all the firearms and ammunition on your shore-based warships."

Of course, you and I both know that the scrap metal on your ship isn't worth that price.

How about I treat the rest of the pele as a token of my friendship with you?

We became friends through a misunderstanding.

The mouse's eyes widened suddenly, and it slowly looked down at the neat stacks of Baileys in its arms, still smelling of ink. A greedy smile unconsciously appeared in its eyes.

Seeing this, Toth knew that the treacherous plastics partnership had been established.

Killing him would certainly be satisfying, but afterwards I would face a naval manhunt. And now that I am not yet fully developed, rashly facing the behemoth that is the Navy would hinder my growth.

For now, I'll cooperate with him because I need intelligence support at sea, and the Navy happens to be a powerful intelligence organization at sea.

If I still feel annoyed when I go to the Grand Line later,

When that time comes, it won't be too late to come and kill him when I have some free time.

……

A moment later, on the shore, the limping rat and Toth waved goodbye with bright smiles.

Watching the rat, surrounded by the marines, board the ramp and sail away with the sails full.

Thoth glanced back at the hundreds of guns, a batch of lead bullets, and hundreds of shells from ten cannons on the dock. There was also a telephone bug specifically for contacting him.

All the cannonballs on the Rat Warship are here, which is also an effective way to prevent the latter from changing its mind after going to sea and turning around to bombard this side.

All that was left for them were the ordinary cold weapons they had.

Watching the warship sail away into the distance, Ah Jian beside him looked at Tote with a complicated expression and said:

"Thank you so much this time. We will make up for the money you gave them later."

Upon hearing this, the villagers nearby immediately spoke up, each with gratitude in their eyes.

Thoth shook his head. "No need. I'm doing this for myself. Rats aren't exactly good, but since they like money, they can be used to my advantage."

At this point, Thoth looked at them and smiled:

"Give me ten guns and a thousand lead bullets. Put four cannons on my ship and two hundred cannonballs."

You handle the rest, Uncle Jian. Our village needs some people who can arm themselves.

Consider this a small parting gift from me.

Ah Jian and the villagers' eyes reddened, and many of the sentimental young women and aunties were in tears.
