One Piece: Starting with Coercion and Enticement of Nami

The number of "companions" here suddenly increased, and they were carrying out the final sweeping operation. The sounds of smashing and breaking could be heard from almost every house.

They were like a swarm of locusts infected with rabies.

Upon arriving at the entrance of a house, just as I entered, I was spotted by a man named Hai Mou, who immediately began to berate me with a displeased expression:

"Get out of the way, this is our Sixth Squad's territory. Don't you know the rules?"

Under the dim light, seeing no fewer than five people inside, Thoth nodded and calmly left.

After a while, Tote arrived at the door of another town dweller's house. The sounds of smashing and looting continued inside. Tote pushed open the half-closed door, walked across the yard, and entered the house. Two men were ransacking the place.

Upon seeing Thoth, the two turned around, initially bewildered, then their gazes turned hostile. "Don't you understand the rules?"

Thoth's eyes flashed, and he suddenly grinned: "You two brothers have such big houses, adding me won't make a difference, right?"

The two men were enraged, which was normal; if two groups coveted the same spot, they'd settle things based on their abilities. One of them, knife in hand, stepped forward, almost face to face with Thoth, and spewed two streams of foul odor from his nostrils:

"Kid, don't you dare be so ungrateful. Don't think I don't know what kind of person you are. Trying to act tough with me?"

Thoth narrowed his eyes, and the other man, who had been watching the show with a detached grin, suddenly grinned, "Then who the hell are you?"

The man in front of him was about to be attacked when Tote suddenly raised his knee and slammed it into his groin, causing the man's groin to turn red.

A heart-wrenching scream rang out.

Thoth shoved him aside and rushed towards the watching Haini in three strides. The sudden turn of events left the latter bewildered; he hadn't expected Thoth to be so ruthless.

There is an ironclad rule on the ship that one must not harm one's fellow passengers.

Thoth approached, and the sea pump said, "Stop, we can abandon this place."

But his answer was Thoth drawing an iron sword from his waist. A flash of cold light, and Hai Tangma stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Thoth kicked him in the chest, and with a muffled thud, the latter flew out, crashed into the wall, and fell to the ground.

Tot turned around on the spot and rushed back to the sea monster kneeling on the ground clutching its crotch, kicking a football-like shot into the side of its face.

With the dull thud of the foot, the latter rolled sideways to the ground, screaming in agony. Thoth closed in again, stomping on the back of his neck several times in succession, and his life came to an end with the sound of bones cracking.

He took a breath, and two warm currents gushed out from deep within his body.

Once again, a familiar system notification appeared from the depths of my consciousness.

[Note: Your unarmed combat skills have reached the maximum proficiency level of "Beginner 10/10". Your unarmed combat skills will automatically advance.]

[Hint: Your unarmed combat skills have improved from "Beginner" to "Introductory Level"!]

[Hint: Your unarmed combat skills are at "Beginner Level" 0/100. The next level is "Practice Makes Perfect".]

Memories of unfamiliar combat techniques, unlike swordsmanship, surged from the depths of my consciousness.

Various basic fighting styles, footwork, punches, kicks, throws, and grappling techniques appeared in my mind.

Subtle adjustments are made to the bones and muscles, making the muscles in the body firmer and more coordinated.

With the mastery of basic fighting techniques, even the body's senses seem to become more acute.

004. The hunter is here! Self-destruction!

At this moment.

Several loud, somewhat jarring noises came from not far away. Tote's gaze shifted slightly as he glanced at the pile of valuables they had looted in the room, but did not go over to pick them up.

Because too much of a good thing can be bad, if you take back too much wealth on your own, it will definitely arouse the curiosity of others.

In addition, the rest of the team couldn't go back.

And now he's just a nobody, earning a little over a million is nothing compared to what he could ever hope for!

Even though every time they plunder, people will fight each other for the treasure in places they can't see... but the first bird to stick its head out gets shot.

Thoth didn't think the captain and first mate of a merchant ship were any kind of idiots or morons.

Without looking at the treasure inside any longer, they quickly climbed over the wall and left the courtyard.

Less than two minutes after Tote left, four or five men wielding knives came over.

Seeing the dead bodies inside, their faces remained expressionless, but when they saw the treasure on the ground, excitement immediately spread across their faces.

It's not far from the town's port.

Thoth appeared by the window on the second floor of a ransacked house, and at his feet was a cloth bag stuffed with several bottles of cheap fruit wine.

As darkness fell, a strong stench of blood and a faint smell of smoke drifted in through the open windows on a gentle breeze, while the sounds of smashing and looting around had almost ceased.

Instead, there was the stench of burning houses and corpses.

Burning, killing, looting.

The word "海賯兊呐e" (hai feng na) is a vivid and profound expression of the meaning of this term.

Thoth stopped hunting; the timing was wrong. Gazing at the murky sky, he saw the pier rising and falling with the tide, like a monstrous sea monster lying still, its cold eyes fixed on the town.

A chill ran through me.

Watching this scene, Thoth told himself that this was real, not an illusion, and that this was the most common scene in this world and this era.

The cool touch of the windowsill traveled through Thoth's fingertips into his consciousness, like being hammered repeatedly with an iron hammer, tempering Thoth's mind and making him realize that this was reality, and that reality was cruel.

His eyes closed slightly as he exhaled deeply, taking in the bitter taste of the air.

Close your eyes and rest.

After an unknown period of time, suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded from the sea.

"The navy is coming! Attention all crew! The navy is coming! Captain orders a full retreat! Retreat! Retreat!!!"

A sharp, piercing gong sounded from the mast lookout tower.

Boom boom boom!

Thoth's eyes snapped open, and at the same time, a deafening cannon blast came from the distant sea. Looking in that direction, all he could see was a blurry black shadow.

The cunning wolves attacked the flock of sheep, but the hunters, having received the news, arrived late with their rifles.

Wolves, upon seeing a hunter, will instinctively flee as a sign of respect.

Tot tightened the bundle on his shoulder, picked up the cloth bag from the ground, and turned to run.

Amidst the clinking and clattering of bottles, they rushed out of the house and headed straight for the pier.

At that moment, hurried footsteps echoed from the surrounding houses, and a series of ferocious faces, filled with excitement and tension, appeared in the field of vision.

A cacophony of sharp, scathing curses rose and fell as they racked their brains trying to greet the female members of the naval family who had arrived.

The navy bared its fangs, shelling the enemy ships. The enemy ships were not to be outdone, returning the barrage with their own fire. However, compared to the orderly barrage of the warships, the enemy ships appeared somewhat cowardly.

Fortunately, it was dark, and both of them were off-target.

Thoth, who was near the pier and in the first line of the procession, rushed onto the ramp and onto the deck at top speed.

Captain Norton's reprimanding voice rang out loudly:

"Listen up, you fucking guys, get to your positions, anchor, hoist the sails... and set sail."

The ship's crew, sails hoisted high, and amidst the hurried footsteps, the fully laden ship returned.

Amidst the sounds of gunfire, the rudder was retracted, and the sea hull gradually moved away from the harbor. The inconspicuous Thoth followed an old sea huller on a wooden W-shaped sail.

"Captain?! We haven't boarded the ship yet! Don't leave!!!"

"Please, Captain!!!"

A sharp shout rang out from the pier not far away. Six greedy seafarers ventured deep into the town, but their return journey was several steps behind, and they were left behind.

One of them even jumped into the sea, trying to swim and catch up, but the boat was already more than 200 meters away from the pier.

Norton, at the stern, coldly stared at them with his icy blue eyes, making no attempt to stop the ship and wait.

He looked around at the ship, which was now much less crowded, and his hawk-like, icy blue eyes were so piercing that no one dared to meet his gaze.

At this moment, his deep, hoarse voice rang out, "Shouldn't I have told you in advance that you only have one hour to raid deep into the territory, and after that you should be on high alert for the arrival of the navy?"

“Keep a close eye on them. This is what happens when you break the rules. It’s not that I’m heartless, but I have a responsibility to you all on this ship. Choose. If you’re willing to turn back, I’ll be the first to charge.”

"No, no, no, Captain Norton, you are right. It was those idiots who didn't listen to your advice. They'd be better off dead."

“The captain’s orders are absolute, and we cannot break your rules because of them.”

"Captain Norton is right!!!"

The sea is not easy to transport with swords, and the sword is not easy to transport with swords. The sword ...

They were more interested in looting and ravaging civilians than in fighting the navy head-on.

As the navy approached the port, all that awaited them was execution by firing squad or hanging.

The sea snail that was left behind...

……

Norton looked at the hideous faces of the men on the ship, a cold smile playing on his lips:

"Alright. Those naval personnel can't catch up with us. Now start lining up and hand over 40% of the supplies you've obtained to the third mate."

Although the sea was filled with people, they all followed the rules.

Those who broke the rules in the past were hanged at the bow of the ship long ago. To this day, there are still two dried "flesh" on both sides of the bow of this ship, and no one knows when they were hung up there.

Soon, a line formed on the deck, most of them wearing expressions that looked like they had lost their mothers but were forcing a smile.

Soon it was Tote's turn. He opened his bundle and bag, looking at the burly mate in front of him and a large bag at his feet.

The third mate glanced at Thoth with great interest, and then one of his underlings grinned, reached into Thoth's bundle and grabbed about half of the beri and gold and silver jewelry, stuffing them into a large cloth bag.

As for the inferior fruit wine, they glanced at it, showing no interest whatsoever, and even quite disdain for it. After the offering was completed, Thoth put away his bundle and then turned to look at the first mate, who was leaning alone against the fence.

This is a middle-aged woman with pink hair, effeminate features, slightly narrowed eyes, and a half-smile that resembles a venomous snake.

There were no terracotta warriors or other strange creatures around him.

Thoth took a deep breath, walked up to him with a respectful expression, and pursed his lips under the first mate's scrutinizing gaze:

"First Mate, thank you for last time. Here are some small gifts I found for you."

I hope you won't mind.

As he spoke, he handed him an open package containing a total value of just over 500,000 Berries.

The first mate looked at Thoth and said with a half-smile, "We're all in the same boat. I didn't help you last time for this little thing."

Thoth's eyes flashed; this scumbag seemed determined not to let him go. His eyelids lowered, and a ruthless glint appeared in Thoth's eyes. Then, as if with unusual helplessness, he spoke:

"I remember about half a year ago I was curious about women, so I went to find an older woman, and then for some reason, some red bumps appeared down there. The older woman said it was just a minor problem during puberty."

They took my money and got me some supposedly very effective medicine, telling me to take it on time.

As she spoke, she looked up, her eyes filled with doubt and curiosity, "First Mate, did you have that kind of thing during your puberty?"

The kind that irritates you when you stop taking the medication.

As he spoke, he rubbed his legs together silently.

The first mate's eyes widened slightly, and he took a step back decisively, looking as if he had swallowed a dead fly, with a hint of relief.

"no."

His words were cold.

Thoth feigned frustration and handed the package back to him.

The first mate looked at the Bailey's Treasure inside the package and felt inexplicably nauseous.

However, looking at the amount inside, he felt a little reluctant. He took a breath and pointed to a suitcase next to him:

"You decide for yourself how to place it."

Every time the ship collected enough tribute, Norton would set aside a portion for the first mate and other officers on board.

Thoth breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his ruthless self-degradation had been successful. Although the first mate was fond of men, he also had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

He must know about the disease that Toth mentioned, and whether it's true or not, he certainly wouldn't want to try it himself.

Moreover, Thoth's offering of tribute to him was both an expression of gratitude and a gesture of respect.

Thoth poured all the treasure from his bundle into the container. The first mate glanced at Thoth, waved his hand, and looked annoyed.
