One Piece: Starting with Coercion and Enticement of Nami

"Stop swooning over him here, you stupid fox."

Nami retorted silently, then looked at Thoth, her beautiful eyes revealing an undisguised possessiveness. She gave a soft snort.

"Let's go hunting. There are quite a few unique plants on the island, which should greatly enhance your 'Wood Spirit'."

As she spoke, she stepped forward, grabbed Thoth's arm, and pulled him toward a deep forest that Thoth had sensed with his Observation Haki.

Johnny Joseph quickly followed.

The tiger girl, now transformed into a large white tiger, happily tumbled around Tote, running back and forth.

Karina watched Nami's retreating figure with a smile, and lightly licked her lips:

"Eating alone! That's not something a smart girl should do."

Nokiko blinked, and Karina suddenly chuckled, saying meaningfully:

“Toth, based on my assessment, while he is not promiscuous, he is not the kind of devoted man who would choose to hang himself on a crooked tree.”

"Given our beauty and abilities, it would be a pipe dream to compare us to those other stinky men, but he is no ordinary man."

"With his modeling skills, if he wanted women, he could just snap his fingers and a whole bunch of vixens would come to him."

As she spoke, she looked at Nokiko and smiled slightly: "With your stunning beauty, if Tote wanted to, and with the feelings between you two, he could have you completely taken advantage of in no time."

But he didn't do that. And the same went for a pretty girl like Nami.

“Of course I know,” Nokiko sighed softly. “Actually, he respects us. He’s not the kind of person who treats us like women he can play with at will.”

Karina smiled sweetly, as if trying to comfort her, and said:

"Therefore, men like Thoth are a very rare, almost extinct species on this sea."

They handed us treasures worth hundreds of millions or even billions without batting an eye, and then spent a lot of effort helping us become stronger.

But he never said anything about how we should repay him.

I'm not an ingrate. I think the price I can pay is all I have.

Although I also dream of a love that is exclusive and unique, I don't want to give him up for it. But if it's something I can share with you all, I'm not entirely against it.

"The fox is no longer hiding its tail?"

Nokiko looked at her helplessly, but she thought the same thing. Karina blinked: "Haven't I always been open and aboveboard?"

Noki rolled her eyes at her with a haughty laugh:

"Luckily, he's not the kind of man who's devoted to one woman, otherwise neither of us would have had a chance."

She clearly remembered that before meeting Tote, she was just an ordinary girl from a remote village, struggling to survive for tomorrow.

It was Thoth who changed her, taking her away from that small village and showing her the vastness of the sea and the thrill of battle.

That man possessed a magical attraction that made her willingly bow down to him. And especially now, he suddenly seemed to exude a mysterious, restrained attraction.

"That's true, after all, he dotes on Nami a lot; Nami was the first girl he ever traveled with."

Karina smiled and said, "Although she's still a bit green, Nami will definitely be a great beauty who's no less beautiful than me in the future."

"You! You talk like you're already an adult?"

Nokiko was somewhat amused and exasperated. Karina moved closer, took her arm, and giggled, blinking her bright eyes.

"But I am mentally mature, and my body is developing much faster than Nami's."

Noki raised an eyebrow, then looked down at her full, firm breasts, which resembled towering peaks. Karina's eyes twitched.

"Let's go! We should head over there."

Noki noticed her mood and immediately smiled happily.

Karina's eyes grew increasingly gloomy.

A blank card appeared in her hand, twirling nimbly between her fingers. At that moment, a glint of light appeared in her eyes as she looked at Nokigo:

"Big sister, my cards can store not only inanimate objects, but also living ones."

After the blank card was retrieved, her body emitted a dazzling white light from all directions. When the white light disappeared, a beautifully framed card stood upright and floated in mid-air.

The card faces Nojiko, and a life-size image of Carina appears. She waves playfully at Nojiko outside the card, and a cheerful voice rang out:

"Similar to a superhuman, I can transform myself into a card, and I can also move it by controlling it with my thoughts."

Noki was surprised and used her slender white fingers to hold the card in front of her eyes to examine it.

"Will destroying it cause harm to your body?"

The little Karina figure in the card blinked, her expression subtle: "Do you want to kill me? Although this original card possesses the resilience of my body, damage to it will affect me as well."

She named the cards that her true self transformed into "Original Cards," meaning the original self cards.

Immediately, a burst of white light erupted from the card, which then disintegrated into countless specks of light. Karina's figure appeared in mid-air and gracefully landed on the ground, her smile radiant.

"I have a wonderful idea. When the cards I create exist in my card space, I can perform a card fusion operation. Since I am also a kind of humanoid card, I can temporarily fuse the items in the target card with myself by using the target card."

During a spare moment, I experimented in a tree pit with fusing the sap from the cards with myself. Guess what interesting things happened?

Seeing Karina's mysterious and somewhat smug demeanor, Noki raised an eyebrow:

"Could it be that your body has turned into that kind of sentient tree sap?"

Karina blinked, looking at Nokiko with some surprise, her lips twitching slightly as she said with a hint of frustration:

"Not bad, my body has turned into a medium-sized liquid tree sap in the card, like a fluid, with my own consciousness. I can also slightly control the tree sap to move myself as if it were flowing."

And I instinctively felt that once I mastered it, I could move as if it were my own body, and even reshape the sap into my own image.

"If it can still do that, then it's just like the Natural System, isn't it?"

Hearing Nochiko's exclamation, Karina shook her head:

"It's different. I can only interfere with items that merge with me, and my stamina is also consumed very quickly."

When my strength gave out, the sap separated from my body and appeared directly in the outside world.

At this point, a hint of curiosity appeared in Karina's eyes: "Big sister, can you help me catch a ferocious beast? I want to try the fusion of creature cards and see if it can give me a temporary beast-like physical state."

Nokiko couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"I think you're basically guaranteed to succeed. Your card fruits are truly comprehensive!"

"However," Nokiko said, a thoughtful look appearing in her eyes, "Fusing beast cards is quite risky. After all, the other party has consciousness. I don't know if your consciousnesses will merge, or if there will be any conflict between them."

"Well???"

Karina was a little depressed, and after hearing this, she was also a bit unsure.

But then, Nojiko suddenly laughed and said, "Why don't you try me? If I don't resist, and we merge, we can better understand the risks involved?"

Karina: "?"

"Is this a good idea? Let's use you as an experiment."

She began to worry, after all, it was her first time, and she had originally wanted to surprise Thoth, but now:

"How about we go find Thoth and ask him to take a look at us?"

"Then let's go find Toth!"

Noki thought about it and agreed that this was the safest option.

When the two caught up with Thoth and his companions, they saw Thoth squatting on the ground, his five fingers turning into roots that took root in the roots of a ginseng plant, which was visibly withered.

With his eyes closed, Thoth perceived the effects of "tasting hundreds of herbs." As the medicinal properties of ginseng were analyzed, the Wood Spirit, having obtained its essence, also began to possess the medicinal properties of ginseng.

And not far away, there was an unidentified fruit tree and thick vines coiled around it. Both had withered and decayed. The "Spirit of Wood" possessed the flexibility of plant vines and the ability to bear the corresponding fruit of the tree.

Nami looked at Thoth with curiosity. This amazing ability opened her eyes. Just then, seeing Nojiko and Carina catching up, she asked curiously:

"What were you two whispering about in the back just now?"

Karina smiled mysteriously, then approached Thoth and explained how she had developed her abilities. After listening, Thoth stroked his chin, looked at her, and suddenly chuckled:

"It has a kind of combining characteristic similar to that of the Swallow Fruit."

"This ability is indeed very powerful, and its practical expansion capabilities are among the best of the Paramecia-type Devil Fruits."

Karina's eyes were expectant. "So, do you think there will be no problem with me merging with Sister Nokiko?"

Thoth pondered: "You are using cards as a medium for fusion, but in essence, it is also a fusion of cards."

There may be risks, but this experiment has great potential. And since you're using card fusion, what if the fusion fails...?

"It should just be that Nojigall simply separates from your body, right?"

Upon hearing Toth's question, Karina's eyes lit up with thought. After a few seconds, she nodded seriously and said:

"That's right, just like that."

097. The difference between people! Thoth's cards!

The development of abilities can only be achieved through continuous trial and error.

Even the abilities of Devil Fruits are like this.

"Then you should give it a try."

Thoth looked at the two and said that if his guess was correct, then Karina should receive a considerable benefit.

The two heard Toth agree.

Nocchio smiled at Karina and said:

"I'm ready, are you?"

Karina took a deep breath, ripples spreading between her fingers, and a blank card materialized. She looked at Nokiko with a serious expression:

"I'm ready too."

As he spoke, the card flew out of his hand and stuck to Nojiko's forehead. Immediately, a burst of white light emanated, and Nojiko's body was absorbed into the card.

Karina beckoned, and the card flew back to her fingertip. A look of curiosity appeared in her eyes as she looked at the Nojiko figure on the front of the card: "How does it feel?"

The tiny Nojiko inside the card turned its head and looked around, its eyes filled with curiosity as it smiled:

"My body cannot move, but I can turn my head, raise my hand, and speak. Moreover, the space inside this card is very small. My own form of existence is like something between a three-dimensional cube and a two-dimensional plane."

Karina nodded; she knew this. She took a deep breath. "I'll begin."

Ripples appeared in her hand, and the card instantly returned to Karina's card space.

At that moment, Nojiko in the card felt a blank in her mind, and then she knew nothing more.

Karina's consciousness was immersed in her card space, looking at this dreamlike spherical space where the three primary colors intertwined, and the cards containing tree sap remained still in the space.

There are also cards for Little Nokigo.

Her consciousness was the only dynamic thing present here. As soon as her consciousness moved, Nojiko's cards emitted white light and turned into specks of light that disappeared.

At the same time, outside, Karina's body emitted a bright white light.

In the impenetrable white light, her figure began to change rapidly. When the white light dissipated, a tall figure appeared.

Thoth stared in amazement at the tall girl in front of him. She was 1.75 meters tall, with a perfectly proportioned figure and delicate features. She was actually a combination of Karina and Nokigo.

Her long, blue-purple hair gave her a strange, exotic charm.

One eye was a beautiful, contrasting shade of blue, the other a deep azure; Thoth saw two different meanings within them.

Even her clothes became a fusion of the two people's clothes.

"It worked?" Karina said with a grin, followed by Nojiko's subtle voice: "The fusion of our consciousnesses is like a split personality."

A close symbiosis, yet also a delicate balance of closeness and distance.

"We should be connected in spirit now. I can hear your thoughts and sense the abilities of the Smooth-Smooth Fruit and the Card Fruit coexisting within you."

However, you are now in control of this fused body, and I can sense that our physical strengths are combined.

The physical exertion after merging will also be borne by us together.

And it seems I can take control of my body.

As soon as she finished speaking, Nokiko took control with her powerful will, and Karina's consciousness instantly shifted from the dominant personality to the alternate personality.

However, Karina felt that she had a chance, since she was the true master of the fusion, but she didn't do so.
