One Piece: Starting with Coercion and Enticement of Nami

"Noki, look, I'm so happy today! (The last part is a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)"

About 100 meters to the east of the buried shipwreck, an eight-meter-deep sand pit appeared.

Nami, covered in dust and dirt, took out a white-gold Devil Fruit that looked like a pineapple from a metal treasure chest in front of her.

With a wide grin, revealing a mouthful of perfectly white teeth, Noki looked down at Nami from above the cave entrance.

A slight smile played on her lips. "Congratulations, Nami. Did you recognize what type of Devil Fruit it is?"

Nami smiled mysteriously, looked at Nojiko with a smug expression, and nodded emphatically:

"Of course! Who do you think I am? Thoth will definitely like it. I think this fruit is perfect for him."

……

"Hehe, with my photographic memory, I'm 100% confident..."

At this moment, Karina gently wiped away the thick layer of grime from the Devil Fruit with her sleeve, revealing the three primary colors of magenta, yellow, green, and blue.

"Paramita type. Card Fruit".

At this point, a look of inquiry appeared in Karina's eyes:

"Thoth, you haven't forgotten, have you? In the photo frame in that room just now, the man with all sorts of colorful cards fluttering around him, do you think it's possible that he was the previous user of the Card-Card Fruit?"

"They were shipwrecked, their entire ship was swallowed by the sea, and after he died, his Devil Fruit powers were reborn in the fruit in this supply room?"

Thoth picked up where she left off, and a pleased smile appeared in Karina's eyes:

"As expected of the man I've always wanted, you have a brilliant mind, just like I imagined."

So, do you like it?

As she handed the fruit to Thoth, Karina's bright eyes were now filled with wisdom:

"I remember the fruit's ability: it can freely create blank cards, and these blank cards have the ability to absorb, store, and release."

Furthermore, the finished cards created through abilities can be stored in the mysterious card space within one's own body.

Furthermore, it can be converted into a card.

This is a very interesting Devil Fruit with multiple abilities.

"As I said, once a treasure like the Devil Fruit is found, it belongs to the individual who owns it."

"But I want to give it to you," Tot said calmly. Karina blinked.

"I can give you everything I have."

A girl's sudden confession.

Thoth's eyes welled up with tears, and he patted her head, a smile playing on his lips.

“I appreciate your kind intentions, but this fruit is actually quite suitable for you, but it may not be suitable for me.”

Karina was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. She suddenly thought of Thoth's strength, and a look of disappointment appeared on her face. At this moment, Thoth opened his arms and slowly pulled her into his embrace.

His chin rested on her head, and with a pleasant smile, he said, "Actually, in my opinion, this kind of card ability would be more suitable for someone as clever as you."

Feeling Thoth's warm embrace, Karina buried her face in Thoth's chest, opened her arms, and hugged Thoth's waist tightly.

Perhaps it was when he tore off the iron chain around his own neck, or when he shielded him behind him, that image was etched firmly into his heart.

He took a deep breath, almost greedily.

"Liar! What you said is a lie. This kind of convenient ability is not really more suitable for anyone. As long as you have a brain, you can make full use of it."

Thoth chuckled upon hearing this, "Then in that case, it's even more fitting to let you, the smartest among us, use it."

Karina sighed and looked up at Thoth helplessly: "Although I'm happy to receive your praise, do you really not want it?"

Thoth smiled faintly, released her, and then said:

"Let's go! Let's continue our exploration. These shipwrecks, built over many years, might even contain Devil Fruits!"

Karina chuckled upon hearing this:

"You really are greedy!"

"Is greed bad?" Thoth said with a smile. "It is precisely because of greed that one is never satisfied and always wants more."

This is precisely what motivates me to move forward.

088. The Beginning of Transformation!

"You're full of twisted logic!"

Karina watched Thoth's retreating figure as he turned and walked outside, then said with a grin:

"However, upon closer examination, your twisted logic actually makes a lot of sense to me."

Karina followed in Tot's footsteps, and the two continued their treasure hunt on the ship.

A moment later, Karina came to the outer deck and spotted yet another dilapidated ship.

The two continued.

It's like picking up scraps.

They searched the shipwrecks one by one, and in between, Thoth returned to the ship to retrieve a large sack containing various valuable gold, silver, jewelry, and undamaged items.

They stuffed everything in there.

Two hours later.

All the shipwrecks in the surrounding area have been searched.

The sky gradually darkened.

Not far from the ship, on the beach, Karina, dressed in a purple swimsuit, energetically washed the treasures with a small brush in her hand.

Just like women enjoy shopping, they always have inexhaustible energy and interest.

The black ash on the girl's body had been washed away in the sea.

Just then, with a whoosh, Thoth's figure appeared on the sea not far away.

As Thoth reached the shore, a ten-meter-long tiger prawn appeared in his left hand. Karina looked up at Thoth, her lips curving slightly, when a crazy idea suddenly popped into her head.

Living here with Tote and the other two wouldn't be bad!

However, she immediately shook her head, shaking off this unrealistic fantasy.

Then, she looked to the beach thirty meters to her left, where Nami was also washing her treasure. Judging from the treasures she found, they probably wouldn't be inferior to hers. However, a smug smile appeared in Karina's eyes.

No amount of inanimate objects can compare to a single Devil Fruit that grants power.

As for Johnny Joseph not far to the right, Karina smiled slightly as she looked at their "wrecked wreckage".

Wearing a sky-blue swimsuit, Nocigo approached Thoth and said with a smile:

"Is this what we're having for dinner?"

Thoth smiled and said, "Yes, there are many large marine creatures living beneath the surface of the sea around this island."

The environment here is isolated from the outside world, and it's somewhat different from the biosphere outside.

"You take care of the mantis shrimp, I'll go to the forest on the shore to cut some wood."

Noki nodded.

Watching Thoth grip his sword and walk towards the nearby forest.

In the dark forest, Thoth used his Observation Haki to sense his surroundings, observing the various plants around him, his surprise growing deeper with each glance:

"So many old herbs?"

He squatted on the ground, holding a ginseng root that was at least four hundred years old in his hand.

Taking a deep breath of the faint, fresh scent of herbs lingering around his nose, Toth sighed inwardly:

"This place isn't dangerous at all, it's practically a treasure trove!"

"If the outer area is like this, could there be some kind of spirit among the plants inside?"

Thoth looked up into the depths of the forest, his eyes filled with growing interest. There were so many strange and wonderful things in this world.

Soon they returned to shore with the timber. Nokigo had already prepared the shrimp and set up the grill. Joseph came over to start the fire, and then a delicious shrimp feast came to an end.

10 PM.

The ship was brightly lit. Nami and Carina had finished counting the treasures, while Johnny and Joseph looked helpless, as the total value of the treasures they had found was less than 50 million Berries.

Karina toyed with the exquisite sapphire necklace in her hand, smiling as she looked at Nami:

"The treasure I found is worth about 230 million Berries."

Of course, she hasn't revealed that card yet.

Nami glanced at Karina, then suddenly smiled sweetly: "Well, I'm sorry, my total estimated value is 250 million, I win!"

Karina raised an eyebrow. Nami's wealth was truly remarkable. However, this time, she chuckled and reached into her waist pouch to take out a Card Fruit.

Raising her fair chin, she looked down at Nami, her smile growing even brighter:

"Among the Paramecia-type Devil Fruits, the Card Fruit is definitely one of the top-tier ones."

Nami! Checkmate!

Nami's smile froze as she looked at Karina in disbelief, her heart pounding. She couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "You...you actually have this kind of...unique charm?"

Could it be that Thoth found it?

Karina pouted, her eyes filled with reproach and displeasure: "How could you say that to me? You wicked Mudcat."

"No, Karina did find this fruit on her own."

"Thoth said with a smile."

Upon seeing Thoth's confirmation, Nami let out a disgruntled snort.

He then turned to look at Nojiko and extended his hand. Nojiko smiled at Thoth and reached into his waist pouch to pull out the platinum Devil Fruit.

Karina's eyes widened, and Johnny Joseph's mouth gaped open as they stared at the treasure before them, feeling an overwhelming urge to disappear into a hole in the ground. It was just too... embarrassing!

Thoth's eyes widened as he looked at Nami, whose smile was now impossible to suppress, and suddenly, he let out a soft "Ha!"

"I really don't know what to say. This uninhabited island is truly a super auspicious place!"

"Can you guess what type of fruit this is?"

Nami reached out and took the fruit from Noji's hand, then walked lightly to Thoth. She looked up at Thoth, her smile growing even brighter:

"This is for you! I think it's perfect for you."

Looking at the fruit handed to him.

Seeing Thoth's slightly surprised expression, Nami chuckled and said, "You're so touched by me?"

Karina's eye twitched. Nami saying such things in public, she really is scheming, that despicable Mudcat.

Noticing Karina's gaze, Nami smiled smugly, then looked at Thoth and spoke mysteriously:

"The Cat-Cat Fruit is a Mythical Beast in its White Tiger form. According to the encyclopedia, it has the ability to control storms."

All wind and airflow-related phenomena can be manipulated. For example, manipulating airflow can trigger phenomena such as torrential rain and thunderclouds.

Karina was shocked upon hearing this, and Johnny and the other two also gaped in disbelief. It has to be said that Thoth was also somewhat tempted.

Thoth reached out and placed his hand on Nami's head, taking a deep breath. "Are you sure you want to give it to me?"

Nami blinked. "Of course! With this Devil Fruit power, I believe you will definitely become stronger."

Not only that, when Thoth ate the Devil Fruit that he had given him, every time Thoth used his powers in the future, he would definitely think of him first.

The more the White Tiger Fruit's power helps him in the future, the greater his status in his heart will be.

Even though this fruit was a perfect match for her, she was still willing to give it to him.

Thoth accepted the White Tiger Fruit from Nami and thought of Kaido's Blue Dragon Fruit, one of the Four Emperors. Undoubtedly, it was a top-tier Mythical Zoan fruit.

Consuming it would definitely transform her strength, but would it only be a temporary boost? Nami already possesses the power of the Void, and her body is extremely sensitive to air currents.

Moreover, her talent has now been deeply explored. If she were to take the pill, even Thoth himself couldn't imagine what level of strength Nami would reach with his continued training.

Under his personal guidance and training, Nami has now become a decisive and ruthless individual.
