One Piece: Starting with Coercion and Enticement of Nami

Snapped!

A crisp, melodious snap of the fingers rang out from Thoth's raised right hand, and then, amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, Thoth continued to laugh as he pointed his index finger toward the bar.

At this moment, Tot turned his head to look at the bartenders at the bar, and a somewhat helpless voice appeared:

"Could you please get me a mirror and give it to this gentleman called Big Bear King? Put it on my tab."

for a moment,

The room fell silent.

But then, curious and puzzled gazes fell on the Great Bear King.

They immediately noticed his rugged, slovenly appearance and unattractive features.

Then they looked at Thoth.

A few seconds later.

A suppressed laugh came from somewhere, followed by a series of deafening bursts of laughter.

"No, no, I'm dying of laughter! You guys need to take a closer look and compare that stupid bear and its weapons with its female companion!"

"Holy crap? They're like a celestial being and an uncivilized savage!"

"Pfft, hahaha! Heavenly beings and uncivilized savages?! That's practically a black bear that has become a spirit?!"

"Wow! It really is! Pfft~ Pfft pfft~ Pfft hahahaha!"

"Shut up, all of you!!!"

With a muffled thud, the table in front of him shattered from a single punch. His face was completely flushed, turning ferocious, and his bloodshot eyes looked as if he wanted to devour someone.

Immediately, most of the people who had been laughing wildly fell silent, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at the figure of the Great Bear King.

Although the bounty is only 960 million Berries, that was the bounty that the Great Bear King had set four years ago.

This man is not one of those low-level thugs who frequently commit arson, murder, and looting.

According to information from the black market, this man seems to have been doing very well in the waters near the Polaris Islands.

It is said that he also occupied an island stronghold that was extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack, and that he held a large number of hostages, leaving the nearby navy completely helpless against him.

Moreover, he also engaged in highly profitable businesses related to weapons and ammunition on the black market.

And seeing that he had completely suppressed those who were making baseless accusations...

The Great Bear King took a deep breath, then glared fiercely at Thoth and Nokigo, who were standing a few meters away.

"You damn bastard, have you thought about how you want to die?"

His voice was cold and cruel, and his eyes were even more ferocious and terrifying.

At that very moment, all the forces in the bar were paying attention to this area.

But Tot's eyes remained calm. He glanced around and saw the tension in the eyes of the bartenders and the excited, amused looks in the eyes of the various factions who seemed to enjoy the drama.

However, at this moment, Thoth looked at a middle-aged man in a suit in the corner, his eyes filled with a keen interest that was different from the others.

It's like examining a surprisingly interesting item that you've stumbled upon.

Thoth didn't like that look.

However, his aura was the strongest in the entire arena. Thoth could sense that his aura was extremely condensed and had a bloody feel to it.

Is it the person behind the auction?

Is that the guy who keeps things under control?

Thoth wasn't sure, but...

"You bastard, how dare you ignore me?"

The Great Bear King could no longer contain himself. With a roar, he stomped off the ground and charged forward.

In the blink of an eye, the tall figure rushed in front of Thoth like a wall, and a large, fan-like hand grabbed at Thoth's head.

Seeing this, Thoth's eyes remained calm, and in his Observation Haki, his body movements seemed to slow down.

At this moment, Thoth noticed that the middle-aged man in the suit remained motionless, but the look in his eyes became increasingly playful.

Isn't that right?

The waiter had said that fighting was not allowed in the lobby, and Thoth wanted to see if anyone would come out to stop it.

After all, the target is the Devil Fruit, and the auction hasn't even started yet. We should at least give the host some face.

With a slight movement, Thoth took a step back, his body perfectly positioned to dodge the Great Bear King's grasp. Nojiko beside him also moved to the side.

At this moment, Thoth saw that the Great Bear King's two companions, Sweet Queen and Pig Jack, were rushing over with equally cold faces.

"Damn it, if you've got the guts, don't dodge!" The Great Bear King, having failed in his first attack, charged forward again, this time with a whooshing sweep of his right foot.

Thoth's eyes flashed, and he saw that no one had come out to stop it yet, and the bartender's eyes had already turned to the middle-aged man in the suit who was still unmoved.

The answer is self-evident.

But since the people here don't care, Thoth doesn't need to save face for them anymore.

This time, instead of retreating, they advanced, arriving in front of the Great Bear King in the blink of an eye, raising their left arm to block his sweeping thigh.

Bang!

With a dull thud, the Great Bear King was shocked and furious to find that his powerful kick, which was enough to shatter rocks, had been blocked.

"You bastard!" he cursed angrily, but just as he was about to lower his leg and launch another attack,

A cold glint appeared in Tot's eyes. He suddenly took a step back and grabbed Tot's ankle with his left arm.

Immediately afterward, the moment Thoth's right arm touched him, his hands suddenly twisted outward, and a sharp pain struck, causing the Great Bear King's body to tilt sharply to the right.

At that moment, taking advantage of the instant his body tilted, Thoth twisted his waist and took a step back.

Suddenly, he exerted force with both arms and swung him up. In the blink of an eye, the Great Bear King's body was sent flying sideways, and a furious curse came out of his mouth.

At this moment, Thoth looked at the Sweet Queen and the Pig Jack who rushed forward, and suddenly released his right hand. Then, the several hundred-pound body of the Great Bear King was slammed to the ground by Thoth's left hand.

With a muffled thud, wood chips flew from the floor, but Thoth didn't let go. Amid his scream, he pulled him forward and rushed to the Sweet Queen in the blink of an eye. With his left arm muscles bulging, the Great Bear King turned into a black shadow and was slammed heavily onto her body in less than a second.

The latter was instantly smashed, his body turning into a pale pink paste that scattered and flew out.

Only a sharp scream remained in mid-air.

Thoth's eyes flickered slightly; he was indeed a Paramecia-type Goo-Goo Fruit user.

But at this moment, Thoth did not stop. He caught the Great Bear King's left calf, which had been swept to his right, with his right hand, and swung his body backward. Then he caught it with his left hand behind his back.

In the blink of an eye, the Great Bear King's body was like a thick, black nunchaku, which Thoth swung around him with brute force.

Amidst the whistling wind, Thoth took a step forward, rushing three meters away and slamming the Great Bear King hard into the dumbfounded Pig Jack in front of him.

Amidst the dull thud of flesh colliding, Pig Jack was sent flying like a rhinoceros hurtling at high speed; his chest, fleshy and bulging, caved in, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood before being sent flying backward.

He slammed his fist heavily onto a table not far away, shattering it into pieces instantly.

Suddenly, the sound of people drawing their breaths to cool off filled the lobby.

Thoth stopped, but continued to swing the Great Bear in his hand, his eyes filled with curiosity. Even after torturing him like this, he still hadn't used the power of the Steel-Steel Fruit that he had in the original work?

In other words, he is not yet a user of the Devil Fruit.

"You can stop now!"

061. Carnival?

Sudden.

A calm, arrogant voice rang out from the crowd.

Toth looked up at the middle-aged man in a suit who had walked out of the crowd a hundred meters away:

"And who are you...?"

With a muffled thud, the Great Bear King was slammed to the floor by Thoth. His face turned red and purple, blood pooled in his upper body, and he lay on the ground, groaning weakly, his consciousness hazy.

Upon hearing this, Dragus's expression turned cold. "Fighting is prohibited here before the auction. If you just stop now, I can pretend nothing happened."

A mocking glint appeared in Toth's eyes, but his words unexpectedly became calm:

"I see. Then may I ask who you are and in what capacity are you speaking?"

"My name is Drago, and I am the General Manager of East China Sea Trade under Mr. Du Felder, the King of Usury and a major figure in the underworld."

This auction was jointly organized by several big bosses of Glass Pearl Island and our company.

Furthermore, our company will be responsible for security at the auction.

As soon as he finished speaking, a multitude of gazes—awe, envy, curiosity, fear, and respect—were cast upon Dragu.

This brought a hint of satisfaction to the former's eyes.

In the Great Voyage Paradise and the New World, he might not be considered a particularly powerful figure, but in the East Blue, he is definitely among the most outstanding.

The reason why headquarters agreed to hold the auction with them was twofold: firstly, the Devil Fruit was provided by a big boss from Glass Pearl Island; secondly, the auction brought together ruthless figures from several surrounding seas, allowing their company to select some promising talents to recruit.

"Then why didn't you step in when he started trouble, but now that he's dying, you're telling me to stop? Don't I have any dignity?"

Thoth looked at him calmly.

Dragu's eye twitched. This guy actually dared to disrespect him in public. However, he was indeed in the wrong.

But then again, he also had a share in the Big Bear King's high-quality arms business.

Furthermore, the strong are entitled to privileges, and he was merely trying to see what kind of quality this recently famous weapons kid actually possessed.

I was thinking of checking out the quality first, and if it turned out to be good, then I would try to recruit more people.

Unexpectedly, this big bear king was such a useless piece of trash. Not only was he defeated in just a few moves, but he also had to come and save his dog's life.

And now, Thoth has publicly pointed out his dereliction of duty, leaving him in an awkward position. A hint of anger flashed in his eyes. This guy is so ungrateful, but as a businessman, he has to abide by the rules.

This is an ironclad rule personally set by their president, Dufeld.

He wasn't forced by Toth's threats, but rather he had to abide by the rules set by his boss.

Then a fake smile appeared on his lips:

“This is my dereliction of duty. I will pay for your expenses here, as long as you spare his life. In addition, I will give you 960 million in compensation afterward.”

As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere in the room became strange. This important figure from the Great Sea Route had actually backed down.

"And what about him? What are you going to do?"

Thoth asked a question that was both deadly and heartless.

Dragu's eye twitched, and Thoth chuckled: "In business, the most important thing is to keep your word. If you don't deal with him, you'll be personally slapping the face of that king of usury."

It was the kind that made a slapping sound.

Dragu's face turned ashen. He took a deep breath and then suddenly grinned.

The crisp sound of a slap rang out, and he looked at Thoth expressionlessly:

“That’s right, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Since they dare to break our rules, they must accept the punishment in blood.”

Before he could finish speaking, his figure vanished in a blur and suddenly appeared in front of Thoth. Then, his arms transformed into a pair of brownish-yellow wings.

A cold light flashed from the tip of its right wing, and it suddenly swung down, unleashing a devastating slash. With a cracking sound, the Great Bear King's right arm was severed from its shoulder in an instant.

Blood spurted out, and amidst the intense pain, the Great Bear King regained consciousness. He abruptly sat up from the ground, letting out a piercing scream.

Thump! Suddenly, just as he sat up, a leg flashed past, and Tote delivered a vicious kick to his mouth.

With a cracking sound, most of his teeth were kicked out of his mouth, blood and broken teeth spraying out, and his figure was kicked more than ten meters away by Tote.

Drago's pupils constricted sharply, not because of his ruthlessness towards Thoth, but because Thoth's speed astonished him.

What do you mean by that?

As Drago's somber words were spoken, Thoth's eyes flashed, and he suddenly laughed:

"I'm sorry, he suddenly got up and I thought he was going to attack you, so I saved you. Are you... blaming me?"

Dragu's eye twitched violently. He gave Thoth a deep look and mentally labeled him a treacherous, ungrateful bastard.

"I see. Thank you in advance."
