One Piece: Starting with Coercion and Enticement of Nami

He had no choice but to believe it.

He didn't dare to question it.

More often than not, he had no choice but to trust the weapon in front of him, Thoth, because his reputation was relatively upright.

Even his own father praised it.

But that's how it is now.

A man-eating wolf has broken into their home, and the sheep are unaware of it. But now, a powerful hunter has come knocking on their door.

*Snap! Snap!* Thoth snapped his fingers together near his ear, and Merry snapped back to reality. Looking at Thoth as if he had grasped a lifeline, he quickly whispered:

"Just tell me directly how you want me to cooperate. I only hope that you can save my master, mistress and young lady."

Rest assured, once it's all done, my husband will definitely give you a very satisfactory reward.

Thoth looked at Merry, somewhat surprised by his decisiveness, and said without hesitation, "Just take me in."

Merry nodded quickly. He knew that the boy in front of him was someone they couldn't afford to offend. Being wary was useless, and since that was useless, they should cooperate with him as much as possible.

Even if they all harbored ill intentions in the end, all he could do was die before the old man and his men.

Follow Merry into the estate, look at the neatly trimmed and beautiful lawn, and walk on the smooth cobblestone path.

Sensing the tension and fear in Merry's emotions, Thoth spoke calmly:

“There’s no need to panic. Kro is my target. He can’t hurt anyone in front of me unless I want to.”

As if some incredible force was comforting him, Merry's mood quickly calmed down.

Upon sensing this, Thoth's lips curved into a slight smile.

The level of visual perception is about to advance, and the characteristic of "emotional perception" is becoming more and more magical.

By resonating with the breath of all things, Thoth is now almost able to project his own emotional resonance onto others and interfere with them.

Merry regained his composure and quickly arrived at the main building of the villa. He opened the door and led Thoth inside.

At that moment, in the lobby on the first floor, the wealthy Melka was sitting on the sofa listening to Krabatel... no, Kro's report.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that Merry had brought in several young people, and raised his hand to signal Crowe to stop.

He stood up and looked at Merry, but then he saw the weapons master, Thoth, who had been on the news headlines for the past two days.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly, but quickly, a seemingly very enthusiastic smile appeared on his face:

"Welcome, distinguished guest. But may I ask what brings Mr. Tote to see me, Melka?"

You can just tell me what you need, and I'll definitely help you with anything I can do.

Your name is renowned far and wide; I've long wanted to speak with you. It's just a pity that I haven't had a suitable opportunity until now.

Upon hearing this, Toth also began to scrutinize the rumored tycoon.

My first impression was that she was kind and eloquent.

Standing nearly 1.9 meters tall, he wore a sharp and capable navy blue suit, and his golden slicked-back hair was neatly styled with hair gel.

Although he was middle-aged, he still had handsome features and a decisive and capable air about him.

As expected of a man who built a huge merchant guild on his own, even in this moment, Tote stepped forward with a smile, "There is something I need to discuss."

Merka was surprised and curious.

However, at this moment, Tot looked at Klo, who was standing next to Melka, and his eyes revealed shock and a hint of anger and murderous intent.

As he approached, Toth smiled and looked at Klo, whose face had turned extremely gloomy.

He wore a black suit, had slicked-back hair, and glasses. He had a well-proportioned figure of just over two meters tall and a capable and dignified appearance in his thirties.

"Compared to the photo on your wanted poster, you actually look much kinder. After all, in reality, your face isn't covered in blood, is it?"

Melka looked at Tote in shock and confusion, but at that moment, Melly quickly came forward and pulled him aside.

"Krabatel? You?"

Kro looked at Thoth with icy eyes, then glanced at Melka and said coldly, "Consider yourself wronged today!"

Immediately afterwards, his face turned ferocious, and his eyes turned to Zango, who was standing among Nami and the others not far away, with an extremely sinister look:

"You dare betray me?"

Zan Gao's body trembled, but he quickly mustered his courage and retorted:

"It's you, you scoundrel!"

"Excellent! Great! You're truly outstanding, worthy of being the second captain of the Black Cat Merchant F chosen by me, Chloe."

The cold words swept through the spacious and luxurious hall like a winter wind.

Chloe's cold eyes turned to Thoth. "Do we have a grudge against each other?"

Thoth looked curious: "This is the first time I've met you."

Upon hearing this, Kro raised his left hand and pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses with his palm, his expression suddenly becoming calm.

He had seen the news from the previous two days; the guy in front of him was a swordsman who could cut through iron.

Even that ferocious chain man, Mad Torega, was killed by him.

He wasn't absolutely certain he could win.

"You are strong, no less than me."

"We have no grudges against each other, so I admit defeat this time. Go outside this villa now and give me five minutes. After I've cleared out everyone here, I'll give you 70% of the 270 million Bailey treasure inside."

"And I want you to hand over that traitor, Zango, to me."

Zang Gao's face turned pale instantly, and Melka and the others' expressions changed drastically. However, Melka quickly regained his composure and looked at Toth, speaking rapidly and truthfully:

“Mr. Toth, my life is worth far more than that money. I beg you to save my family. I will reward you with far more than that amount later.”

I'll give you 500 million Berries as a reward.

Kro's expression turned icy instantly, but in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Melka with a unique full-body exertion.

"Then you go die first!!"

His right hand lashed out fiercely, and at the same time, another hand appeared in front of his outstretched right hand. Snap! Thoth grabbed his wrist firmly, then exerted force with his body, his figure turning into a blur as he pulled Kro's arm and carried him away.

Kro's expression changed drastically in an instant, as he felt an irresistible force carrying him toward the outside of the hall.

In just two breaths, he grabbed him and rushed out of the living room door, then Thoth yanked him away forcefully.

With a muffled thud, Chloe was slammed onto the lawn by an over-the-shoulder throw, accompanied by a spray of grass and dirt. A deep groan of pain suddenly rang out from Chloe.

Tot released his grip, took a step forward, and delivered a powerful, vicious shot to the waist of the ball. With an invisible aura of armor, the kick resounded, and with a loud bang, Kro flew out as a blur.

His figure flew backward through the air, spitting out a mouthful of blood, flying dozens of meters away, smashing through a section of the courtyard wall, and crashing onto the ground outside the courtyard.

At that moment, Kro collapsed to the ground, struggling to get up, but he couldn't straighten up at all.

Thoth gazed calmly at him outside the courtyard wall. With that step, he sensed that Thoth's spine had been severely injured and cracked.

"Hiss!" At this moment, the sound of gasping for air came from the main building entrance.

Thoth looked back and saw that Nami and Melka had already caught up with them.

Nami jogged over, looked up at Thoth, and then at Kuro not far away.

A red light flickered in her eyes. She sensed his presence with her Observation Haki, which was rapidly weakening. She hesitated and asked:

"You're not going to kill me, are you?"

Thoth shook his head and strode over, with Nami following closely behind.

"He didn't die so easily; he must have some kind of breathing technique."

Within my breath of all things, he is now consciously controlling his heart rate to slow down.

"Huh?" Nami looked surprised and quickly came behind Thoth, somewhat speechless:

"So this is a joke?"

077. Silent Steps!

After crossing the breach in the courtyard wall, Toth stopped two meters away from Chloe, watching him slowly sit up with his back to him.

"Do you still want to pretend?"

Thoth's calm words caused Chloe, who was about to stand up, to pause. Then, a hoarse, gloomy voice rang out:

“Weapon... Thoth.”

As he called out Thoth's name, he straightened up and turned around. His glasses were crooked, and blood splattered between his mouth and nose. He had completely lost the elite butler aura he had when they first met, and now looked like a stray dog.

Kro stared intently at Thoth, his gaze dark and murderous as he spoke each word clearly:

"My bounty was revoked long ago. We have no grudge against each other, so why do you have to come and get in my way?"

Kro put on his glasses, his jaw muscles bulged, and then his figure suddenly disappeared.

His figure appeared beside Thoth in an instant, and his icy words rang out simultaneously: "Go to hell!"

A bright light flashed in the corner of his eye; a sharp dagger, gleaming with a cold light, was being held by Kro and slashed towards Tot's neck.

In this scene.

His gaze was calm, and his speed was of no use to Thoth.

Just as Kro was about to successfully slit his throat, a cruel glint appeared in his eyes, thud! A kick that came from behind struck first, Thoth sideways, delivering a heavy side kick that landed hard on his side waist.

Thoth looked up at him, and as if in slow motion, Kro's eyes gradually widened and bulged, blood gushed from his mouth and nose again, his waist caved in, and his whole body was sent flying sideways in an instant.

With a whoosh of air and a muffled groan, Kro flew dozens of meters before crashing into the trunk of a large tree, which snapped in two with a crack.

Leaves and wood chips fell and flew everywhere.

Thoth retracted his left foot, and Nami, watching Kuro sprawled on the ground, unable to get up, couldn't help but twitch her lips.

"I feel a little sorry for him, he's such a stubborn guy."

“He’s not stubborn; he knows he has no choice. A smart and proud person like him wouldn’t entrust his life to someone else’s decision.”

"Thoth said calmly."

Nami's eyes showed agreement; if it were her, she wouldn't be willing to entrust her life to someone else either.

Well, except for Thoth.

He's one of us.

Through the gap in the courtyard wall, Tote waved to Zang Gao at the entrance of the villa, who immediately scurried out.

At that moment, Nami looked at the sharp dagger that had fallen from Kuro's hand a few meters away, walked over and picked it up.

Holding it in her hand, Nami examined it curiously, then held it up and waved it at Thoth:

"This dagger looks to be made of pretty good material?"

Having seen many good things on the ship, Nami can now tell the difference between good and bad.

Looking at the bluish hue on the dagger's blade, Thoth walked up to her, took the dagger, and sniffed it.

Nami then noticed the problem, a subtle glint appearing in her eyes. She narrowed her eyes and said:

"Could it be highly poisonous?"

“The dagger is of the quality of a sharp blade,” Thoth said with a smile, running his fingers along the blade before bringing it to his lips and lightly licking it with his tongue.

A few seconds later, Thoth's tongue went numb, but as his breathing rose and fell, it "recovered" itself, and the numbness soon disappeared.

"It's a potent poison, a kind of poison that can paralyze the body and damage the hematopoietic system."

The "tasting hundreds of herbs" characteristic of medicine allowed Tot to quickly analyze the toxic components.

Nami was speechless with surprise. Luckily, she hadn't tested the sharpness with her finger; otherwise, she would have suffered terribly if she had cut herself.

Nojiko and the others followed Zango. Thoth gestured for them to follow, and they arrived at the scene not far away, where Crow lay on the ground with a blank look in his eyes, too badly injured to get up.

"Hypnotize him."

Thoth looked at Zango, who nodded quickly and took out his tools to begin hypnotizing.

Kro tried to resist, but it was no use; he was soon completely hypnotized by Zango.
