One Piece: Starting with Coercion and Enticement of Nami

His eyes flickered slightly as he sensed his body constantly breaking down and rapidly recovering, the surging alien life energy within him beginning to be transformed and consumed.

When the alien energy in his body was depleted, Thoth saw that his "self-recovery" proficiency level increased by more than 200 points.

With a slight urge, I picked up another mutated fruit and ate it, experiencing that bittersweet feeling once again.

A moment later.

[Note: Your self-healing skill "Mastery 1000/1000" has reached its maximum proficiency. The self-healing skill will automatically advance.]

[Hint: Your self-recovery has advanced from "Entry-level" to "Mastery"! Gain +1 to Constitution! +1 to Strength! +1 to Agility! +1 to Spirit!]

[Note: Your self-healing skill has been upgraded to "Mastery," and you have gained a new trait, "Life Resilience": The resilience of your body and mind will become increasingly tenacious as all your attributes increase.]

[Hint: Your self-recovery "Comprehensive Understanding" is 15/2000; the next level is "Mastery".]

After a while, his internal energy was completely depleted. Thoth sensed that as his skills advanced, the boost this life energy provided to him was gradually decreasing.

Seeing this on the light screen panel, Thoth pondered. This fruit was quite useful to him, but its effect would diminish once he mastered the skill.

However, Thoth sensed that the strange power within him that fueled his desire for evolution had not dissipated.

What was consumed was that surging alien life force.

At this moment, Thoth looked at the skills he could further enhance through this power.

[Armament Haki (Slight Achievement 304/500)]

Thinking of this way of using power, a glint of light appeared in Thoth's eyes. Looking at Joseph, who had returned after dealing with the beast, Thoth said:

"Entering steel mode."

092. Mutation? The Desire for Evolution!

"Hmm? Okay, big brother."

Although Joseph didn't understand, he resolutely obeyed and did as instructed.

His upper body was steel-like, its dark steel color exuding a sense of strength and resilience.

And he continues to deepen his ability to maintain this steely nature.

Thoth's eyes narrowed slightly, and from the breath of all things, Joseph's body emanated a unique breathing pattern belonging to super-strong steel.

Thoth resonated with this steel-like energy through his own life force. As the resonance deepened, the energy channels of Armament Haki within his body gradually began to change.

Armament Haki flowed through his body, Thoth's eyes lit up slightly, and he quickly picked up a fruit and ate it.

The alien life energy within his body was replenished once more. However, this time, as that desire arose, Thoth spontaneously guided himself to strongly desire the transformation of Armor Haki.

Under the influence of that strange power, the life energy of the alien species within his body began to be consumed rapidly, and Thoth's Armament Haki also began to undergo a dramatic transformation.

In less than a moment, his Armament Haki level went from "Small Achievement" to "Mastery," and he gained the attributes of 2 Body and 1 Strength.

【Armament Haki (Mastery Level 6/1000)】

At the same time, within the light screen panel, Armament Haki gained the characteristics it desired.

Features: [Steel Armor]

Effect: Your Armament Haki possesses exceptional toughness; when hardened on your body, it grants you strength comparable to high-strength steel.

Thoth's eyes lit up. Just as he expected, that strange power could promote the improvement of his skills.

After absorbing the advanced application techniques of Armament Haki that surfaced in his mind.

Looking at the 16 fruits remaining in front of him, Thoth pondered, 'Let's go for it.'

After eating five more Mutant Fruits, Thoth's Armament Haki proficiency began to gradually increase.

He yearned for Armament Haki to grow stronger within him endlessly, and for Armament Haki to resonate with his own life force, continuously flowing and purifying within Thoth's body.

Thoth was absolutely convinced that his Armament Haki would become stronger and stronger.

Driven by this intense desire, and as the Armor Haki washed over his body, Thoth gradually became aware of a subtle but strange change occurring within his flesh.

[Hint: Your Armament Haki skill "Mastery 1000/1000" has reached its maximum proficiency. The Armament Haki skill will automatically advance.]

[Hint: Your Armament Haki has been upgraded from "Advanced" to "Mastery"! Gain +2 to Body Attribute! +2 to Spirit Attribute!]

[Hint: Your Armament Haki skill has been upgraded to "Mastery," and you have gained a new skill trait, "Endless Vitality": Armament Haki and life force are deeply resonant and combined; the stronger your Haki, the stronger your life force, and the more resilient your life force, the more powerful your Haki becomes.]

[Hint: Your Armament Haki "Mastery" is 15/2000. The next level is "Perfection".]

Boom!

At that moment, a terrifying energy suddenly burst forth from Thoth's body, with sharp, black arcs of electricity swirling around his skin.

A violent aura burst forth in all directions, causing Nami and the others to retreat repeatedly, staring at Thoth in shock.

The dark, armor-clad aura was solidified on his body like steel and wouldn't dissipate.

Nami looked at Thoth in astonishment. Through her Observation Haki, Thoth's life force suddenly became incredibly strong and powerful.

The body experienced intense tearing pain, but it quickly subsided as the body recovered.

He had a thorough understanding of the various techniques and applications of Armament Haki in his mind, and Armament Haki flowed rapidly through his body like a tide.

Thoth slowly opened his eyes, watching the various changes on the light screen panel in front of him.

The "Life Resilience" characteristic of self-recovery skills and the "Endless Life" characteristic of Armament Haki become linked together.

His physical condition underwent a tremendous transformation, and he sensed the continuous and powerful force within his body.

Thoth looked down at the 11 mutated fruits remaining in front of him; at the moment, these fruits were no longer of much use to him.

Immediately, look at the basic attributes:

Body: 33.7 → 38.7

Force: 27.5→29.5

Min: 28.6 → 29.6

Precision: 32.7→35.7

……

"Thoth, are you alright?"

Seeing that Thoth had opened his eyes, Nami quickly asked.

Noki, Karina, and the others looked at Thoth with a mixture of worry and curiosity.

"I'm fine, in fact, I'm in excellent condition right now."

Next, Thoth told them about the effects and side effects of these fruits.

They stared wide-eyed at Thoth in disbelief, wondering if such a strange treasure truly existed in the world.

but.

Karina's expression was grave: "Will the side effects of the fruit cause uncontrollable mutations in our bodies?"

After all, we're not as pure as animals, nor do we possess the tranquil mind of a still mirror like yours. Our minds are too cluttered; if we weren't careful, we might grow tails or extra eyes...

She didn't say anything more, but a hint of resistance appeared in her eyes.

Not everyone can disregard the changes in their own body in pursuit of power.

Ugh...

Suddenly, Tiger Girl growled urgently. She didn't care; she longed to remain pure forever. She was a hybrid white tiger, and she had a perfect role model like Nami.

The tiger's tail swayed vigorously behind its rump, and anyone with eyes could see that it was impatient.

Nokiko looked at Thoth and suddenly said, "I should be immune to this side effect. My body will reject any changes that make me imperfect."

Toth looked at her with admiration:

“That’s right, you’re right. As long as you strongly suggest to yourself that your body is perfect now, or that you want to become more beautiful and stronger, you’re more likely to be able to perfectly absorb the life force contained in this fruit under this desire.”

And you?

Thoth looked at them; Nami's eyes were conflicted, as were Johnny and Joseph's.

Upon seeing this, Thoth chuckled:

"It seems you two are not destined to have this fruit."

As he spoke, Thoth looked at Nokigo and Huniu, "You two come and eat, try one first and see the effect."

"Nami, transform back into your white tiger form and give Tiger Girl a strong reference."

Nami blinked, and her body changed drastically, revealing a seven-meter-tall white tiger.

Tiger Girl roared excitedly, came to Tote, grabbed a fruit, and swallowed it in three bites.

Nokiko also came over, picked up a coin, and quickly ate it.

He sat cross-legged beside Thoth and began to digest the power within the fruit.

A deep tiger roar suddenly rang out, and the tiger girl's bones cracked and popped as she looked at Nami with intense longing in her icy blue tiger eyes.

Beautiful body curves, powerful wind control, terrifying pressure—it desires everything.

As the life energy in her body was fully digested, Tiger Girl's body grew considerably.

Airflow gradually forms on the body surface.

Then, she looked longingly at Thoth, who sensed the life force within Tiger Girl's body with his Observation Haki, and the rhythm and frequency were very stable.

It was signaling for it to continue eating.

Tiger Girl's eyes were filled with emotion and excitement as she continued to devour her food.

Tiger Girl's evolution continued, and Thoth looked at Nojigo at this moment. In the perception of all things breathing, the life meridians in her body were constantly fluctuating.

At the same time, I sensed that her thoughts were also fluctuating wildly; she longed to become more perfect and stronger.

Driven by this intense desire, abundant life energy flowed through her body, and her breath gradually grew stronger.

In Thoth's perception, the pulse frequency of the Slippery Fruit power within Nojiko's body also became incredibly active at this moment, making her entire body flawless inside and out.

The alien life energy could not affect or change her body.

After consuming and digesting the fifth one, the tiger girl, now two meters tall, roared and a gust of wind burst forth from her body.

Blow away all the bloodstains and fallen hair that had flowed from his body due to his rapid increase in size.

The wind swirled and undulated around it.

Thoth looked at Tiger Girl, a slight smile playing on his lips. His alien bloodline had fully awakened and begun to evolve.

Tiger Girl noticed that Thoth was looking at her. Her roar was filled with excitement. She suddenly leaped into the air, and an invisible gale howled as her body glided away into the distance.

Thoth's eyes flickered slightly as he realized that even if Tiger Girl had awakened her wind control abilities, she still couldn't compare to the real White Tiger Nami.

Or perhaps, it's just that it's too weak right now and its abilities have only just awakened and evolved, so its ability usage is too inefficient.

However, its wind seemed to be just an ordinary wind.

However, what if Tiger Girl learns paper drawing, Arashi footwork, and moonwalk later on?

The visuals are absolutely stunning.

With a roar, Thoth saw a condensed whirlwind shoot out from Tiger Girl's mouth, blasting a hole more than a meter in diameter into a nearby tree.

Surprise appeared in his eyes.

After watching Tiger Girl practice her skills for a while, Thoth looked at Nokigo, who had already eaten the sixth fruit.

His aura grew increasingly powerful, and in Thoth's perception, it was no less formidable than that of Arlong in the past.

Her body had also grown considerably, in every sense of the word. The red and white striped T-shirt on her chest was now incredibly tight, and due to the angle of her sitting cross-legged, her hips were also more rounded.

Soon after, Noki slowly opened her eyes and exhaled a breath that smelled of fruit.

At this moment, a red light gradually appeared in the depths of her eyes, indicating that her Observation Haki had been awakened.

At that moment, Thoth was surprised to discover that her Observation Haki seemed to possess a peculiar power.

In his own perception, the Observation Haki surrounding Nokiko's body was like being covered by an incredibly smooth membrane.

Nojiko blinked, a slight smile playing on her lips. "My Smooth-Smooth Fruit ability has been deeply developed. The super-smooth characteristic, combined with the intense craving brought about by the Mutation Fruit, has merged with my Observation Haki."

When my Observation Haki surrounds me, it naturally deflects the senses of others.
