One Piece: Starting with Coercion and Enticement of Nami

At this moment, Toth was oblivious to their stares and focused intently on practicing his marksmanship.

槍！

An inch longer, an inch stronger.

The front hand is like a pipe, the back hand is like a lock, steady and balanced, extending the reach to strike from a distance.

With each swing of his spear, and from his superior position, Thoth gradually began to get the hang of it.

One hour later,

Spearmanship, a first glimpse into the art of spearmanship.

054. Thorough understanding and application!

For Thoth, learning a combat technique from scratch didn't actually require much effort.

Furthermore, there are several stages in combat techniques, from the initial rudimentary understanding to mastery.

Your skill level will increase rapidly by fighting various common sea monsters in the ocean.

By learning each combat technique and incorporating its essence into his own swordsmanship, Thoth gradually mastered a certain wondrous feeling.

Starting with basic swordsmanship, it progressed to staff, knife, and spear techniques, then to hammer, axe, spear, bow, and whip techniques, and finally to the halberd techniques of today.

Each combat technique, from its inception to mastery, gradually adjusts Thoth's deep physical framework through subtle changes as his training progresses.

From the sword stance to the staff's destructive power, from the knife stance to the spear stance, hammer stance, and axe stance, from the spear's armor-piercing power and the bow's precision to the whip's supple power, and now the halberd's techniques are about to enter the mainstream.

To integrate and apply knowledge.

It integrates and combines various combat techniques with swordsmanship as its core.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. During this time at sea, I wasn't fighting sea monsters, but rather practicing my spiritual cultivation.

In the waters surrounding the Konomiya Islands, fifteen sea hulls were sunk, and thousands of people became provisions for the Thoth Mill.

From small-time winners to those with bounties of 400 million and 1300 million, the pool of bounties for sea monsters has grown exponentially.

The area surrounding the Conomi Islands can now be described as a sea-adrift promontory.

The fame of the Toth gang also spread throughout the sea.

This is a group of hunters who specialize in hunting sea creatures.

This infamous reputation gradually spread from the area around the Konomiya Islands to the even wider waters of the East China Sea.

The name of Weapon Master Tot has become a popular topic of conversation among tourists in many village taverns.

It is said that he used different weapons in every battle, and the technique of each of his weapons was exquisite.

Some say he is a swordsman who can unleash devastating strikes that pierce through the air with ease.

Some say he is a master marksman, whose marksmanship is so cunning and ruthless that it always leaves blood on his hands.

Some say his archery skills are as fast as lightning, hitting the bullseye every time, and able to shoot an arrow through a willow tree from a hundred paces away.

But what outsiders say doesn't really matter to Toth.

Haiyuan Calendar, 1536

August 5th. 8 PM.

The sky over this sea is dark today.

Heavy rain was expected, and the sky was filled with dark clouds over the vast sea, creating an atmosphere of oppression.

The shore of an uninhabited island located between the Konomi and Moonlight Islands.

The Breaking Waves ship is quietly docked here.

At the fence, Nami looked up at the sky, spreading her fair arms to sense the weather. Dark clouds filled the sky, and rumbling thunder echoed.

"A downpour is coming in three minutes."

Having reached this conclusion, Nami pulled her arms back, feeling the cool sea breeze on her skin. She gazed at the distant sea, a ripple of emotion welling in her eyes.

"Aren't you coming back yet? It's about to pour downpour, Toth."

With crisp footsteps, Nojiko arrived beside Nami. Two months had passed, and through the baptism of blood and fire, the girl's features had become even more spirited, a faint, confident smile playing on her lips.

"A storm is coming, let's get back to the cabin!"

Nami turned her head to look at her, glancing at Nojiko's increasingly voluptuous figure, and unconsciously pursed her lips:

"Your breasts have gotten bigger again."

Nokiko's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly: "Don't worry, I believe your potential is no less than mine."

Nami rolled her eyes at her, turned around angrily and headed towards the cabin. After taking a few steps, she noticed Nojiko gazing at the sea again and couldn't help but complain:

"Stop looking. You haven't awakened your Observation Haki, so you can't sense him."

Noki smiled and turned around to look at her with a grin: "You talk as if you've awakened."

Upon hearing this, Nami immediately beamed with joy, proudly raising her chin.

“I’m almost there. I feel like I’ll be awakening soon. Five days ago, I briefly entered that state under the mental pressure hammering method that Thoth taught me, which involved suffocating and dying in the sea.”

"I won this time."

Nami looked at her with a bright smile.

Noki's lips twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at her: "You're pretty good!"

……

Meanwhile, in the deep waters hundreds of meters from the island's shore.

Standing in the deep sea, stained pale red with blood, Thoth stopped swinging his halberd.

He exuded an overbearing aura.

It prevents any living carnivorous sea beast within a radius of hundreds of meters from approaching it.

At this moment, a look of joy appeared in Thoth's eyes. The light screen panel appeared in front of him. After two months of training and fighting, he had integrated various weapon techniques and his swordsmanship level had reached a new level.

[Note: Your swordsmanship "Advanced Level 1000/1000" proficiency has reached the maximum value. Your swordsmanship skill will automatically advance.]

[Hint: Your swordsmanship skill has been upgraded from "Advanced" to "Mastery"! Gain +1 to Constitution! +1 to Strength! +1 to Agility! +1 to Spirit!]

[Hint: Your swordsmanship skill has been upgraded to "Mastery," and you have gained the trait "Breathing of All Things": Using your spirit and energy to perceive and resonate with the "rhythm and pulse" of all things in nature, you can adapt to the opponent's frequency and rhythm, thereby breaking through your own limits.]

[Hint: Your swordsmanship "Mastery" is 0/2000; the next level is "Refined Mastery".]

At this moment,

As his swordsmanship improved and his overall attributes increased, his body began to undergo a complete transformation, but Thoth ignored the tearing pain coming from his bones and muscles.

The awakening of his new characteristics made Thoth's mind clear and his incredibly refined spirit was like a sharp spearhead, piercing through the surface of the world and allowing Thoth to perceive a completely new world context.

Through his own essence, energy, and spirit, he sensed the pulse of nature. While in the vast ocean, a wondrous rhythm of the ocean's breath entered his consciousness, and Thoth's body and mind resonated with it.

It can be said that the instinct of seeing, hearing, and color, which is born from the essence, energy, and spirit, is released outward, representing the rhythmic pulse of the earth at the base of the island and the rhythmic pulse of the wind on the sea.

Amidst the rumbling thunder, a torrential downpour descended, following the rhythmic pattern of rain.

A variety of amazing natural sights.

Furthermore, Thoth slowly lowered his head, looking at the halberd in his hand, which possessed the rhythm and pulse of steel.

In a peculiar mental state, Thoth sensed the weak pulse in the halberd in his hand and resonated with it through his own being.

An instinct emerges that allows one to easily destroy an opponent simply by exploiting their weaknesses and channeling their power into them.

Is this the wondrous power of resonating with the rhythm and pulse of nature?

Using his senses, Thoth perceived the rhythm and pulse of the ocean, and his mind and body resonated with it. As he exerted his strength, he felt like a fish in water, and the seawater became his aid, propelling him swiftly from the depths of the three-hundred-meter-deep ocean towards the surface.

In less than ten breaths, Thoth appeared on the surface of the sea, breathing in the moist air. The torrential rain hitting his face felt like a gentle caress from nature.

A genuine smile slowly crept onto Toth's lips:

"All things breathe, and with this power, there is no longer a threshold to the previously vague forces of nature."

Thoth was in a good mood and looked at the skill bar on the light screen panel in front of him.

[Halberd Technique (Minor Achievement 476/500)]

Looking at this swordsmanship skill, Thoth's eyes flickered slightly. As his swordsmanship skills became more integrated, his mastery of swordsmanship had progressed from being deeply ingrained in his consciousness to naturally expanding towards the external world.

Moreover, as his mastery of halberd techniques deepened, that peculiar feeling intensified.

It is a fusion of combat techniques.

With that thought in mind, Thoth took a deep breath, activated his Observation Haki, and suddenly plunged into the sea to search for prey once more.

One hour later,

With Thoth's current speed in the sea, which is perhaps no less than that of a fish-man.

Efficiently find and fight your prey.

His proficiency in halberd fighting techniques improved rapidly and steadily until he reached a high level of mastery.

New features are then awakened.

Like a king surveying his territory, he ruthlessly and cruelly slaughtered lives.

Characteristics: Overlord

Effect: Resonates with the power of nature with its domineering aura, causing the opponent to tremble in fear.

Boom! A surge of energy, like a tsunami, rose from Thoth's body.

It is mixed with domineering and murderous intent.

Thoth arrived at the sea surface, carefully sensing the peculiar characteristics of what could be described as a halberd stance.

However, at this moment, as Thoth's tenth combat technique reached the advanced level, a special prompt suddenly appeared on the light screen panel in front of him.

[Hint: Your weapon-based swordsmanship skills have reached mastery, and the other nine weapon-based skills of the same category have also been mastered.]

[Hint: Mastering one combat skill will allow you to master nine other combat skills of the same type. Based on past conscious efforts to integrate combat techniques, you've triggered a combat skill fusion. Fusion?]

These prompts came from his consciousness, and Thoth's eyes flickered slightly. "Integration?"

Instinctively, I didn't feel uncomfortable; rather, I felt anticipation and immediately agreed.

At this moment, as Thoth's consciousness confirmed it, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his mind.

All of his combat techniques began to merge with each other, with swordsmanship as the foundation and the other nine combat techniques as the framework, and a brand new special skill was born.

[Hint: You have acquired the skill "Mastery of Military Strategy" and the trait "Master of War": Quickly master and become an expert in a particular military technique, integrating its essence into your own combat style.]

Before I could even be surprised by the new skill that appeared before me, the system notification appeared again.

[Hint: The integration of the skill "Commanding the Army" is complete. The system checks if the characteristics derived from past combat skills share a common origin. Would you like to proceed with the integration of these common combat characteristics?]

Thoth looked at the ten characteristics displayed, which belonged to the skill characteristics gained when the combat skill reached the advanced level.

Consciousness confirms it immediately.

At that moment, a sudden, intense tearing pain occurred within Thoth's body. In that moment, the essence of the ten characteristics was integrated into one.

moment.

[Hint: You have acquired the trait "Overlord": Power arises from the heart; seize the initiative with military might; intimidate the hearts and minds of men; and amplify yourself by sensing and resonating with the power of all things.]

"Overlord? But it has no color."

055. Awakening!

勢！

To use one's own power to resonate with the power of all things.

The appearance of the "Overlord" made Thoth realize that something deep within him had changed.

In my own perception of sight and sound, it seems that something is gradually being added to my aura.

His aura seemed to emanate a subtle power from within.

Thoth could instinctively sense that a strange power was being nurtured within his body.
