One Piece: Starting with Coercion and Enticement of Nami

"Have you finished dealing with things outside?"

Thoth smiled and nodded: "Zango's hypnosis is quite useful."

Nokiko's eyes lit up with curiosity: "Are you planning to recruit?"

Thoth shook his head: "No, he's not suitable to be on the ship. He's too distracted, and I don't plan to recruit too many people here in the East China Sea."

Nokiko smiled slightly upon hearing this. She would absolutely support all of Thoth's decisions, but that didn't mean she would necessarily like them.

That guy is too slick; if he joins us, he'll probably ruin the atmosphere on the ship.

She believed that Tote could also see that she trusted him completely.

Lunch was quite lavish, including lobster rice, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken salad...

The two prisoners on the ship also had food, but Dragu was fed by Zango.

After lunch.

Thoth took Karina under his wing, teaching her basic swordsmanship, and the girl became very interested in Thoth's swordsmanship.

So Thoth let her take the broken steel sword and use it first.

Of the two famous swords obtained from Aaron, the Fine Sword was given to Johnny, and the Quick Sword was given to Joseph.

Nami and the others trained on the ship.

Thoth leaned against the fence, sensing Drago's life force through the resonance of all things breathing. As expected, the person who had awakened Armament Haki showed a peculiar surge of activity in his body's energy channels.

And it is closely related to his own life trajectory.

Through subtle perception and resonance, Thoth gradually came to understand his own life meridians and began to delve deeper into the power that was inherently hidden within him.

By using one's vital energy and spirit to perceive and resonate with the rhythm and frequency of the meridians within his body, one can reflect upon oneself and thus break through one's own limits.

Learn.

Using his life trajectory as a template, Thoth delved into what he himself lacked, and as time passed, he gradually sensed a hidden peculiarity within his own life trajectory.

Consciousness triggers, perception resonates.

This power within the body begins to gradually activate and awaken.

【Armament Haki (Beginner 1/10)】

Suddenly, Thoth opened his eyes, and a light screen panel appeared in front of him. "This... appeared naturally."

As all things breathe, Thoth senses his own body. With his will constantly condensing, his essence, energy, and spirit surge within him, gradually refining a wondrous energy from his own life meridians.

Hidden within the cells of the body, willpower and belief unite them, breaking through the illusory and intangible to reflect reality.

This strange power was like bamboo shoots sprouting after rain, continuously gathering from the depths of the body.

It's like the sublimation of one's spirit and energy.

The body becomes more active.

The panel light screen turned off, and Thoth glanced down at Drago, who seemed resigned to his fate, sitting motionless a few meters away under the fence.

A gentle sea breeze caressed his face, and a smile gradually appeared on Thoth's face. He sensed that although the armor color within his body had condensed, it was obscure and difficult to control.

Thoth was not anxious. The seed had already appeared, and as long as he watered it diligently, it would grow into a towering tree.

"Lord Thoth, we've arrived at the uninhabited island."

At this moment, Zango jogged over from the bow and came to Thoth's side, saying nervously.

Thoth nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

Upon hearing this, Zangao was taken aback and, overwhelmed with gratitude, waved his hands repeatedly.

"No...no trouble at all, it's all my duty."

Thoth glanced at him, went to the bow of the ship, and looked at the uninhabited island covered with dense forest that appeared a few hundred meters away.

Before long, the Wavebreaker came to a steady stop at a shore, and Zango, along with Nami, Carina, and Johnny, went to collect his treasure.

Joseph, carrying Dragu, followed Thoth and Nojigo to the island's shore.

After removing the sea stone shackles from the latter's body, and after a dozen or so breaths, Dragus slowly stood up.

Although he looked weak due to his severed arm, his vigorous vitality from his animal-type body meant he was not without the strength to fight.

What do you mean by that?

Dragus looked puzzled, while Thoth calmly moved his joints. "Use your Armament Haki, I'll experience it."

Dragoon gave a sarcastic look: "You think I'd help your mortal enemy?"

Thoth raised his right hand, sensing the armored aura within his body. He slowly raised his hand, and wisps of invisible power, obscure yet emanating from his palm, swirled around him as he tilted his head slightly to calmly observe him:

Is it difficult?

An invisible aura of dominance lingered, though immature, it was undeniably present, and a look of astonishment and disbelief appeared in Dragus's eyes.

Suddenly, he flew into a rage:

"You damn bastard, you're playing me?"

Drago roared and instantly entered his half-beast form. He stomped his feet on the ground and charged forward as a blur.

In the speeding Mercedes, the right arm suddenly swung several times, the air humming as several vacuum slashes shot out.

Thoth's eyes flashed red, and he stomped his feet on the ground and shot out in the blink of an eye, his fists swirling with domineering energy.

The combined power and momentum of the troops resonated and coalesced. Thoth did not dodge, but instead charged forward. Clang! Clang clang clang! Lightning-fast punches, gathering the energy, were unleashed in an instant.

The vacuum strikes were shattered one by one upon contact.

In the blink of an eye, the two collided with a loud crash.

Fists collided violently with each other.

The air roared at the point of impact, and Drago's eyes widened in disbelief as his fierce attack was so easily blocked.

Thoth's aura surged, and a domineering and fierce military might condensed in his fist.

The power within his body erupted, and in that instant, Drag's expression changed drastically, feeling that the guy in front of him had become even more terrifying.

With an unleashed burst of overwhelming power, his figure was sent flying backward in an instant.

The Draguman roared furiously in mid-air:

"You damn bastard, if you hadn't broken my arm, you think you could have beaten me?"

As soon as Drago landed, Thoth quickly approached, his fist transforming into a palm strike, his aura becoming increasingly domineering and sharp.

He even condensed a sharp edge at his fingertips, and in an instant, his arms slashed repeatedly, producing a series of powerful and unpredictable strikes.

Dragu faced difficulties.

He tried to back away, but Tot held him tightly, his fingertips leaving deep, bloody gashes on his right arm, face, and chest.

Drago roared in fury, but this only fueled Thoth's even more ferocious attack.

A few breaths later, Thoth suddenly kicked out hard in the abdomen, and Dragu spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward like an arrow.

He rolled several times on the ground before collapsing heavily to the ground, groaning and gasping for breath.

“Five ribs broken,” Thoth said calmly, looking at him. Then he turned to look at Nokigo, whose eyes were wide open, fifty meters away, and smiled slightly.

"A powerful creature of this caliber is a rare sight in the East China Sea. Want to give it a try?"

Nokiko's eyes lit up, and with a quick movement, he arrived in front of Thoth, his eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.

"Can I?"

Thoth nodded: "Give it a try."

Dragu struggled to his feet, his eyes widening in fury upon hearing Thoth's words: "You damn bastard, are you trying to humiliate me?"

Thoth's gaze remained calm: "Your value is reduced to this. If you're not satisfied, then commit suicide?"

Dragoon's face was contorted with rage, yet he did not commit suicide. A mocking glint appeared in Thoth's eyes, and he then turned to Nokigo.

The girl took a deep breath, slowly raised her arms and clenched her fists, giving them a super smooth feel. Suddenly, she pushed off the ground with her feet and shot forward.

When Dragu saw this, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on his lips. He wanted to kill this damned woman and make that bastard Thoth regret it for the rest of his life.

Despite his internal injuries, he charged out in an instant.

Drago charged at Nojiko, his right fist lashing out in a flash, the air whistling. Nojiko's eyes narrowed, and she raised her left arm to block his fist, deftly deflecting it. However, at the same time, a dull pain shot through her, and she frowned.

Is this the power of Armament Haki that Thoth was talking about?

However, at that moment, she suddenly threw out her right fist, gathering her energy in her fist, and unleashed a powerful punch that struck Dragu's face instantly.

The latter spurted blood from his nose and let out a muffled groan, his figure staggering backward.

Nojiko seized the opportunity, charging in close and unleashing a series of smooth, heavy blows that sent Drago trembling. He finished with a powerful kick, sending Drago flying.

Nokiko blinked, looked at the latter lying motionless on the ground, and pouted:

"What a useless guy. I haven't even warmed up yet! No wonder my Tote looks down on you from the bottom of his heart."

Shrimp and pork heart!

075. A wanted man from the underworld!

Frustrated and depressed.

Damn it, another ability user.

He couldn't think of any other reason besides the power of the Devil Fruit that made him feel completely powerless.

Thoth looked at him lying on the ground, then turned to Joseph on the other side and called out to him:

"Why don't you give him a try?"

Joseph's eyes widened in surprise, then he swiftly ran over, looking at Dragu with a cold smile:

"Stop playing dead. My brother Tote said he'd let me test your strength, which means you still have the ability to fight."

As he spoke, his arms instantly turned into a black, high-strength alloy and then glowed red-hot.

Dragu grew increasingly angry; these days, it seemed like anyone, no matter how small, could bully him.

He suddenly stood up, his Armament Haki swirling around his right fist, his eyes filled with unusual grief and indignation. In the blink of an eye, he charged in front of Joseph and smashed his fist into his chest with unstoppable force.

Clang!

The ear-piercing sound of metal clanging resounded throughout.

Joseph was sent flying by the punch, rolling around on the ground.

A few seconds later, he got up from the ground, his face flushed, and gaggled, feeling a dull, stabbing pain in his chest.

His Steel Fruit passively grants his body a steel-like strength. When he actively uses his ability, that area can be completely transformed into a black, high-strength alloy with flesh-like properties, giving it an almost diamond-like hardness.

So now, even though he was knocked away, he wasn't seriously injured, but he lost a lot of face.

It was still in front of Brother Toth.

With a roar, it charged furiously at Dragu, and once close, it fought him with a completely reckless attitude.

They were driven back time and time again, but they charged forward again and again.

After taking several punches himself, Drago's eyes widened in disbelief.

Twenty minutes later, Johnny and his men arrived with a bag of treasure. When Thoth saw this, he called out to Johnny and told him to go and relieve Joseph.

Then, the half-beast Johnny's attack became even more ferocious as he used Drago as his whetstone.

Thoth watched calmly, then, noticing Joseph's still sullen expression beside him, he couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"The opponent is not weak. If the opponent is not seriously injured, even if you are an ability user, you will not be able to defeat the opponent."

We must recognize our shortcomings and then work harder to become stronger.

Joseph nodded emphatically upon hearing this.

Moments later, Drago's furious roar, which had been dealt another heavy blow, resounded through the sky. Then Thoth saw Drago being cut down by Johnny's twin swords.

This time, after he fell to the ground, he never got up again.

The mental defenses were completely breached.
