One Piece: Starting with Coercion and Enticement of Nami

Upon hearing this, Nami's gaze turned strange, and she suddenly smiled brightly:

"It seems like it's been a long time. You've grown bolder. Let me teach you a lesson on what it means to not speak too confidently."

With that, he rushed forward in one stride.

When Karina saw that Nami actually dared to make a move, she immediately got angry, clenched her fists, and charged forward as well.

The two immediately started fighting. After only one round, Nami pinned Karina to the ground and started slapping her round, perky buttocks repeatedly.

Karina immediately cried out in pain and struggled, but Nami suppressed her and let out a triumphant, bell-like laugh.

After a while, Nojiko couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped in to rescue Karina.

At this moment, Karina, hiding behind Thoth, clutched her buttocks, tears welling in her eyes, and glared fiercely at Nami, who was leaning against the railing:

"You violent mud stick cat, no one will ever like you again."

Upon hearing this, Nami's face immediately darkened, and she raised her pink fist. Karina immediately shrank back nervously.

He has a strong craving for vegetables.

That's her.

Thoth turned his head to the side, his gaze subtly lowering to look at Karina beside him:

"Nami has become very strong. You can't beat her now, and she has also awakened Observation Haki."

Karina's eyes widened instantly. She quickly darted out from behind Thoth, grabbed his arm, and looked at him with a mixture of curiosity and excitement in her eyes.

"Did you teach her?"

Karina looked at Toth, and a strong sense of unwillingness gradually rose in her bright yet resentful light blue eyes:

"Thoth, you promised me you'd teach me how to become stronger. I'm not afraid of hardship, you'll keep your word, right?"

A smile appeared on Toth's face:

"Nami really hit you that hard?"

Karina's gaze gradually turned cold:

"I don't want to be bullied by Nami forever. That kind of life is too dark. I'm afraid I'll break down."

Afraid of her best friend's hardships, yet also afraid of her best friend driving a Range Rover? Tot saw this meaning in her eyes.

"Okay, then you'd better be prepared. I'll train you well."

Karina nodded emphatically.

Then he glanced smugly at Nami.

066. All in!

You dare to provoke me?

Nami's face darkened, and she let out a cold laugh:

"What you will learn in the future will all be second-hand or even third-hand knowledge that I have already learned."

Don't think you're the only one who'll put in the effort.

You'd better be prepared to be suppressed by me for the rest of your life!

Karina raised an eyebrow, grabbed Thoth's arm, stuck her tongue out at Nami, and then giggled happily:

“I am smarter than you, I will definitely learn faster than you,” Thoth said.

Hey, hey, hey, don't cause trouble.

Thoth's eye twitched, and Nami's eyes widened slightly as she glared at Thoth with displeasure, as if to say, "Is it really you who said that?"

Thoth rolled his eyes, and Nami gritted her teeth in anger, glaring fiercely at Karina:

"Thoth probably hasn't told you yet, has he? You'll be working under me from now on."

Yes, you heard me right.

Karina raised an eyebrow slightly, then looked up at Thoth, and said with a smile:

“It’s okay. Helping you is helping Tote. I’m happy to do it.”

Nami immediately looked frustrated. Nojiko, standing to the side, blinked and looked at Karina. This girl is quite shrewd.

Karina saw Nocigo looking her over and a bright smile appeared on her face:

"This older sister must be Nami's older sister, Nojiko. She really is a stunning beauty, just as Thoth described."

No, it's ten or even a hundred times more beautiful than Thoth described.

I've always been alone since I was little, and I've always wanted an older sister. So, Karina, can I call you "Big Sister" from now on?

Nojiko was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and couldn't help but recall Nami's past life of wandering alone. Her gaze towards Karina softened.

A smile slowly appeared:

“Great! It just so happens that I also want a little sister. From now on, you and Nami will both be my precious little sisters.”

Nojiko knew that Karina was Nami's good friend; they were the same age and both kind and good children.

Therefore, she will not refuse.

Karina paused slightly, and the smile in her eyes became even more sincere and natural.

Nami stared in disbelief, her lips twitching slightly. She looked at Karina as if facing a formidable enemy, but inwardly she felt a mix of emotions:

"As expected of you, you cunning vixen who'll seize any opportunity to stab someone in the back."

Elsewhere, Johnny and Joseph looked at each other, both with a look of shock in their eyes.

I initially thought she was just a cute new intern, but unexpectedly, she ended up clinging to the big sister's powerful backer in the blink of an eye.

This is someone with connections!

From now on, it probably won't be long before I become their eldest sister!

This woman is really something.

He's not someone to be trifled with.

The two looked at each other and thought to themselves:

You can't mess with people like that anymore.

A short while later, Nojiko went to prepare for the welcome dinner, Johnny Joseph did odd jobs, and Tiger Girl was in charge of guard duty. In Nami's room on the basement floor, Thoth, Nami, and Karina arrived.

There were six suitcases in a row in front of them, all of them open. Nami and Karina's eyes lit up.

"Nami, you received 300 million Berries in cash and a box of gold worth 70 million Berries from King Kuma. Carina and I also received a total of a little over 100 million Berries from Mad Torega."

Adding that to the 400 million Berries we already had, that's a total of 800 million Berries in liquid cash.

Having concluded this, a smile appeared in Thoth's eyes; the Devil Fruit that was about to be auctioned was basically secured.

"Wow, that's so much money! I've never seen so much money before!"

Karina was somewhat lost in thought, realizing that she had only managed to save up 40 million Berries' worth of treasure over the years.

You can't compare yourself to others!

Nami blinked. Although there were a lot of Berries, she seemed to have become somewhat desensitized to them after spending so much time with Thoth.

After all, there are 400 million pegories in cash stored directly in the safe room that leads directly to the second basement level from his room!

If she gets into the mood, she'll go down and take Bailey to play with paper cranes.

Karina looked away from Bailey and then at Thoth. She hesitated for a few seconds before saying:

"Thoth, I've hidden a treasure worth forty million on an uninhabited island in the Four Leaf Island waters. After I finish what I need to do here, can you take me there to retrieve it?"

As she spoke, she looked at Thoth, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"I'd like to use half of it as my franchise fee, is that okay?"

Thoth was clearly surprised, and Nami was even more astonished. Karina was actually being so generous this time?

It seems she's really serious about joining the group.

However, this guy still couldn't match her decisiveness. A hint of pride flashed in her eyes. All her previous Beli were directly handed over to Thoth for use.

However, at that moment, Karina keenly noticed the change in Nami's eyes, and looking at the room that was clearly Nami's, a guess flashed through her mind.

Could it be...?

In an instant, she gritted her teeth. She had never lacked the courage to go all in. Since she had chosen to get on this ship, she would not waver.

If Nami can do it, then she can certainly do it too. She immediately looked at Thoth, a resolute glint in her eyes:

"No, I've changed my mind. I'm going to give you all my assets that I've accumulated over the years. I trust you."

Thoth looked at her in surprise, and Nami couldn't help but raise her hand to her forehead. This guy was really sharp; she had struck it rich this time.

At this moment, Thoth's expression turned serious: "Are you sure? You're not leaving any for yourself?"

Having witnessed Nami's transformation, Karina knew she had made the right bet.

Moreover, she could see that this team, with Toth at its core, was not yet fully formed, so she had to become a core member of the team.

She wants to achieve her goal of becoming a core member like Nami in one fell swoop.

The girl smiled brightly and winked at Thoth: "I'm sure. Now that I've decided to be your partner, I won't hold anything back from you."

Thoth gently touched his forehead. Forty million wasn't much; with his abilities, he could easily have obtained it. But Karina's sentiment was genuine.

Moreover, given her intelligence and courage, as long as she doesn't betray him, she will naturally become a core member of his group in the future.

Now, she has delivered a satisfactory answer to Toth, not because of money, but because of the trust Toth placed in her.

Regardless of what she might want from him in the future, Thoth had already essentially accepted her in his heart based on this trust alone.

Thoth nodded. "Okay."

Karina's eyes lit up, and at that moment, Thoth and Nami exchanged glances, then looked at Karina and said:

"I intend to make you the financial accountant for our group, responsible for the accounting and management of the assets we acquire in the future."

Nami will be your contact.

Karina's eyes widened slightly; she had indeed received this trust. As for confronting Nami, that was perfectly normal.

Assets within a healthy and sound force should not be exclusively owned by one person.

"Okay, I'll take the job."

Upon hearing this, Thoth laughed and then said:

"I have decided that from now on, 70% of the collective profits our team earns outside will go to public assets."

This asset will be used for our future daily expenses, weapons procurement, medical care, and so on.

Of course, I can directly control and use this asset, but I will give you, Karina, the accountant, a clear indication of its intended use, and you will be responsible for recording it.

The remaining 30% will be allocated reasonably according to each person's specific contribution in each instance.

Of course, this only applies to full-time members; trainee members do not participate in the allocation, but will receive reasonable rewards in different categories.

Karina pondered for a moment, then nodded, finding it reasonable. "Yes, I think that's a good idea."

Nami agreed in her eyes.

Seeing that they understood, Thoth continued, "As for assets acquired by an individual alone, three-tenths are transferred to public assets, and the remainder belongs to the individual."

The two exchanged a glance, realizing there was a problem. Nami looked up at Thoth: "Wouldn't it be a bit too little for someone to give only 30% of their personal earnings to the public?"

Thoth glanced at the two of them and shook his head: "That's enough, let's do it this way."

"Furthermore, I would like to add that if an individual acquires a special and precious item like a Devil Fruit while outside, it belongs directly to that individual."

The two were surprised, but Thoth did not explain, because with their intelligence they could easily figure out the key to the problem.

"Kalina, find some time to compile what I've said into regulations, and I will formally notify you when the opportunity arises."

Karina nodded: "Okay, I'll show it to you when I've finished organizing it. If there are any problems, I'll fix them."

Thoth nodded with a smile, and then the three of them went down the stairs in the room to the storage room on the second basement level.

The walls of this storage room are reinforced and sealed with a layer of steel plate, and three large safes are installed and fixed here.
