One Piece: Starting with Coercion and Enticement of Nami

"He wouldn't dare. I'm not some clay figure. If they can't defeat me decisively and cause chaos, they'll lose all face and credibility."

When that time comes, it will be Dufeld who will deal with him.

Karina was clever; she quickly understood the intricacies of the situation.

She glanced up at Thoth furtively, but then she noticed that Thoth's expression had turned somewhat cold. She was immediately startled and silently looked around.

Thoth then said calmly, "It's just some clueless guys spying in the dark."

As he spoke, Toth turned to look at the row of buildings on both sides of the street, where a malevolent aura was constantly gathering.

Meanwhile, anyone who peeked out and met Thoth's cold, dead-looking gaze immediately lowered their head.

Thoth's lips curled into a cold smile. He breathed in harmony with the surrounding air currents, condensing his own domineering, fierce, and chilling aura, which he then unleashed with a thunderous roar.

The air pressure in the surrounding environment suddenly seemed to drop several levels.

With Karina by his side, he walked away from the street with steady steps, like a beast king surveying his territory.

Only after Tote and his companion left did the people around them dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

People who were close to each other exchanged glances and saw the awe and relief in each other's eyes.

That guy's aura... is terrifying.

Walking beside Toth, Karina didn't feel any terrifying threat from him, only a strange sense of security.

The aura emanating from Thoth was like a thick fortress, firmly protecting her.

After passing the street near the bar, the two didn't encounter any more clueless guys along the way.

When she saw the Wavebreaker on the deck, Karina unconsciously breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She turned her head to look at Thoth, a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "Those guys are really boring. They want the fruit, but they don't dare to actually come forward."

Thoth rolled his eyes at her: "That's human nature. They want the fruit, but they don't want to pay the price with their lives."

"A bunch of lowlifes."

"Hehehe!" Karina laughed lightly, but then her eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Thoth:

"Your aura just now was really impressive; you intimidated those guys instantly."

As they walked, Thoth laughed:

"That's nothing. Conqueror's Haki is really powerful. One look from him and they'd be lying on the ground obediently."

Karina was shocked: "They all died after just one glance?"

Thoth looked at her speechlessly: "It's not that exaggerated, it's just that it will shatter your mind and cause you to lose consciousness."

"That's still amazing. Just imagine how cool it is. One glance and it's like harvesting wheat, with swathes of wheat falling down."

Karina looked at Thoth curiously:

"Do you have Conqueror's Haki?"

At this moment, the two came to the bottom of the ship. The suitcase was handed to his right hand, and Thoth put his left arm around her waist, leaped up, and went back to the ship with her.

“Of course…” Thoth put her down, speechless, and said, “Not yet!”

Karina stuck out her tongue and gave Thoth a strange look: "Heh! I thought so too."

As he spoke, seeing that Toth's face had darkened, he chuckled and hurriedly ran towards the cabin.

"You're back. Did you encounter any problems on the way back?"

Noji walked over laughing. Thoth shook his head. Nami curiously examined Thoth's sword case. "You got that thing?"

Thoth nodded with a smile, and soon, on the tea table in the living room, Thoth took out the steel fruit.

Nami quickly flipped through the encyclopedia in her hand, and soon she found the corresponding Devil Fruit image.

After confirming, he complained, "The Iron Fruit! It's somewhat useful, but it doesn't seem to have much."

It wasn't her type.

Moreover, she could tell at a glance that Thoth didn't seem to be very interested either.

While holding and playing with it in his hand, he turned to look at Thoth, who had just opened the sword case and was holding the ancient longsword that looked quite unusual.

At first, Thoth resonated with the demonic sword through the breath of all things, but now, after grasping the sword, a strange suction force emanated from the hilt.

Thoth looked surprised as he sensed his vital energy being guided and condensed, and then forcibly channeled into the sword.

It greedily absorbed and plundered the essence within Thoth's body, while at the same time, a bluish-gray flame, transformed from essence and spirit, rose from the sword.

Thoth also sensed a powerful sharpness from the flames.

Nami watched this scene in surprise, and was forced to retreat by the sharp aura emanating from the sword.

A look of astonishment flashed in Thoth's eyes. Was this sword really that fierce? He sensed his energy rapidly draining away.

A red light flashed in Thoth's eyes. The breath of all things resonated with Tyr's pulse, and his own military might flowed into the sword. At that moment, a strange change occurred. The bluish-gray flames on the sword rapidly converged, condensing on the sword like a membrane.

At that very moment, Thoth, who resonated with Tyr's Edge, sensed a spiritual instinct from the sword's spirit that was eager to unleash its power.

But at this moment, Thoth did not follow its spiritual instincts.

Instead, it resonates deeply with the pulse of all things through their own breath.

Thoth's own life force clashed violently with Tyrfong's "life" force on the sword.

The bluish-gray membrane on the sword shattered in an instant, and bluish-gray flames surged up.

A sharp current of energy erupted around his body, violently cutting dense slash marks into the sofa table around Thoth in the blink of an eye.

Nami, with her keen sense of airflow and her Observation Haki, instinctively sensed danger and had already retreated to a greater distance.

At this moment, she looked at Thoth with a worried expression, because Thoth's body had suddenly become somewhat thin.

What was taken from him?

Momentum arises from the mind; military force is used to seize the initiative.

To sense and resonate with the power of all things through one's own power.

This is the Overlord.

The domineering and fierce military might, through the spirit of Thoth, flowed into Tyr's sword. The price of greed was that the spirit of Thoth flowed into it with unparalleled smoothness.

His own vital energy, carrying the domineering consciousness of Thoth, surged through the life veins of the sword, and the bluish-gray flames on the sword immediately became unstable.

Their life energies resonate together.

Thoth sensed the nodes appearing in Tyr's meridians, his energy and spirit continuously surging in, relentlessly conquering the nodes.

As time ticked by, Thoth could clearly sense a subtle connection gradually emerging between the frequency of his own breath and the rhythm of Tyrfong's pulse.

The frequency fluctuations of the two breaths in the resonance gradually produce a slight harmonic resonance.

Thoth gradually imprinted his own life force into all of Tyrfon's meridian nodes.

The overlord slammed the bow.

Since they're rebellious, then we'll discipline them.

Believe that love will grow over time.

After an unknown amount of time, Thoth's red-glowing eyes slowly opened.

At this moment, looking at the demonic sword Tyr's Edge, which he had gripped with both hands for the hilt and blade, now quiet.

Looking at the bluish-gray flames that are now quietly rising on the sword.

"Thoth? Are you alright?"

A trembling voice came from inside. Thoth looked up and saw Namino and the others standing at the cabin door, their eyes filled with panic.

Thoth narrowed his eyes, raised his sword, and saw his own emaciated appearance reflected in the smooth, bluish-gray blade.

Suddenly he grinned, gripping the sword hilt tightly, and moved with a thought.

Suddenly, a bluish-gray flame rose up, instantly swirling from his right hand to his entire body, the flame disappearing continuously as it rose.

At the same time, Thoth's body became fuller and more saturated at a visible speed.

Nami and the others were all stunned.

However, at this moment, a look of surprise appeared in Tote's eyes, on the light screen panel in front of him.

Weaponry proficiency +101

Not only that, Thoth could clearly sense that his aura had become more refined and possessed a peculiar sharpness.

A thought stirred within him: 'Weapons like demon swords don't devour their masters; rather, they are beyond the control of the weak. But once mastered, they bring a wondrous reward to the wielder.'

"This is a unique method of cultivation that tempers one's essence, energy, and spirit. I just wonder if, after transforming one's essence, energy, and spirit through Tyrion again, there will be such a significant improvement as this time?"

Thinking of this, Thoth stopped pondering it and instead smiled at them:

"I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine. It's just that this sword was a bit mischievous, but it's alright now."

Thoth looked at Tyr's Edge in his hand, sensing that his spirituality had now become stable.

With a gentle smile on his face, Tote felt a sense of connection with it that had become somewhat distant.

I believe that it won't be long before I can completely master it.

At this moment, Thoth looked at the Steel Fruit in Nami's hand and laughed, "Got any ideas?"

Nami blinked, shook her head, but then she grinned and said:

"And what about you? Becoming a body of steel should be very useful to you, right?"

Thoth's eyes flickered slightly. "It's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away."

After glancing at them, Thoth turned to Nokiko and said with a smile, "Go and get that animal-type one."

A moment later, Thoth appeared, holding two Devil Fruits in his hands, and looked at Johnny and Joseph, saying:

"A Zoan-type Ancient Species Giganotosaurus in its dragon form, and a Steel Fruit."

Are you two interested?

Johnny Joseph stared at Thoth, his mouth agape in disbelief.

"Brother Toth, you're giving this to us? What have we done to deserve this?"

"This is too expensive. We can't accept it."

Thoth chuckled lightly: "If you're a man, stop being so wishy-washy. Both of these Devil Fruits have quite impressive abilities."

072. A dual-ability user! Excellent!

The two men, looking solemn, approached Toth together, their eyes filled with an indescribable, unspoken awe.

It's about being moved, respecting, and looking forward to something; it's the kind of feeling that Johnny/Joseph, a junior officer, would be willing to go through fire and water for his master for generations.

Thoth then explained the merits and demerits of the two fruits, and the two considered it carefully.

They each chose the one that best suited their own personality.

Johnny was agile and daring in battle, and he chose the Ancient Beast Dragon Fruit.

Joseph prefers to strike first and counterattack after being caught off guard in battle, and the Steel-Steel Fruit gives him a greater advantage in resisting pressure.

on the deck.

The two of them were excited, holding the Devil Fruit with great care. After carefully examining Thoth, they opened their mouths wide and took a bite.

Completely unconcerned about whether it tasted good or bad, they ate it all in just a few bites.

Just as their faces turned ashen from the pungent smell, a change quietly took place.

Johnny's body underwent a dramatic transformation, his bones cracking and popping. In the blink of an eye, a massive prehistoric carnivorous dinosaur, exuding a savage and ferocious aura, appeared on the deck.

The agile dragon body is covered with a hard, iron-gray leather with crocodile-like patterns.

The enormous, exaggerated dragon's mouth was filled with cold, white, sharp teeth like daggers.

Its bright yellow beastly eyes shone with a fierce light, like searchlights.

A thick, long, and well-proportioned dragon tail.

It is nearly twelve meters long and about six meters tall, wow!
