One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

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

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

"It'll probably just be Nojiga separating directly from your body, right?"

Tot's question prompted a thoughtful look in Karina's eyes. After a few seconds, she nodded seriously and said:

"That's right, that's exactly it."

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

The development of abilities means that we can only grow correctly through continuous trial and error.

Even Devil Fruit abilities are like this.

"Then you should give it a try."

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

The two heard Thoth agree.

Nojiko 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 Nojiko with a solemn 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 shone, 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 little Nojiko figure on the front of the card: "How does it feel?"

The tiny Nojiko inside the card turned her head and looked around, her eyes filled with curiosity as she 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, and my own form of existence is like something between three-dimensional and two-dimensional."

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

A ripple 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 immersed itself in her card space, looking at this dreamlike spherical space where the three primary colors intertwined, and the cards storing tree sap were still in the space.

There are also cards for Little Nojigo.

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

At the same time, outside, Karina's body emitted a luminous 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. Her face was a combination of Karina and Nojiko.

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

Thoth saw two different consciousnesses in those beautiful, heterochromatic eyes, one aquamarine and the other azure.

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."

They coexisted closely, yet remained elusive.

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

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

The physical exertion after merging will also be shared by us.

Furthermore, it seems I can take control of my body.

As soon as he finished speaking, Nojiko, with her powerful will, instantly took control, and Karina's consciousness also instantly changed from the dominant personality to the secondary personality.

However, Karina felt that she had a chance to fight back, since she was the one who truly controlled the fusion, but she didn't do so.

Sensing the power within his body, Nojiko noticed a slight, hidden injury deep within the bones and flesh of this body. Their consciousnesses were connected, and Karina spoke in his mind:

“During my past career as a phantom thief, I was injured a few times in conflicts with some opponents, especially the incident with Mad Torega a while ago, where I was beaten up quite badly, but thanks to Thoth’s treatment, I’m fine now.”

However, at this moment, with their consciousnesses connected, Karina experienced what Observation Haki was, and Nojiko used "Super Slippery" to begin gliding away the hidden injury.

She could sense this body rapidly becoming perfect, and at that moment, Karina asked curiously in her mind:

"Nojiko-neechan, after we fused together like this, my body has been modified by your Smooth-Smooth Fruit ability. Do you think my body will become as perfect as yours after we separate?"

Noki's consciousness stirred slightly, and she became curious as well: "It really is possible!"

Soon, the "flaws" existing in this fused body were completely eliminated by the ability.

Nojiko manipulated her body to use the Six Powers technique in a small space. When Thoth saw this, his eyes flickered slightly: "I'll spar with you. In mid-range combat, try absorbing my attacks with your cards."

Nojiko's eyes lit up, and soon the two began to fight using the Six Powers. Thoth kicked out one after another of his Storm Kicks at her. At first, Nojiko was flustered, but as time went by, she became more and more proficient with her abilities.

Cards materialize in his hand, he uses his Observation Haki to sense the angle of his attacks, and his consciousness manipulates the cards to dance around him.

The moment Thoth's Tempest Kick hit the card, it was instantly absorbed and stored into the card by the empty card that emitted a white light.

Immediately afterwards, Nojiko used the Storm Kick slash card, and as the card disintegrated, the Storm Kick slash within it, carrying its original attack momentum, flew towards Totto at high speed.

With the power of the cards, and guided by Tot's imaginative ideas, the techniques of card battles were rapidly perfected.

Karina felt a surge of excitement; she absolutely loved this fighting style of using cards to turn the tables on her opponent.

Nami watched their battle with her eyes slightly widened; the use of the Card Fruit's power surprised her greatly.

Johnny and Joseph watched the fight between the two men intently.

"The card's ability is amazing, but it probably can't absorb our close-range attacks, right?"

Johnny said this, but Joseph's eyes widened as soon as he nodded.

Totto charged forward with a punch, and Nojiko manipulated a card to appear at the tip of Totto's fist. As the card flashed white light, the impact energy at the tip of Totto's fist was directly absorbed by the card. However, in the blink of an eye, the card was shattered by Totto's fist, which was wrapped in Armament Haki.

However, Toth's powerful attack was perfectly defended by the card.

The two looked at each other, their lips twitching slightly. Nami rolled her eyes and muttered to herself:

"If Thoth eats this card fruit, wouldn't that disgust his future opponents to death?"

Karina is not Toth after all.

A moment later, Karina created a number of cards that stored Thoth's attack, and after expending a considerable amount of energy, the battle ended.

With a burst of white light emanating from their bodies, the two figures separated.

Nojiko stood up, but Karina's legs gave way and she sat down on the ground. Compared to Nojiko, who was also expending energy, Karina looked more tired because of her own physical limitations.

However, at this moment, a glimmer of light appeared in Thoth's eyes as he looked at her. He noticed that Karina's body was slightly different from before.

Her facial features appear to have undergone minor adjustments, making them more perfect, and her skin is now whiter and smoother.

Her body seemed to have been completely reshaped in every way.

Nojiko also noticed this, a strange glint appearing in his eyes, before he exclaimed in praise and congratulations:

"Kalina, you've become even more perfect."

Karina tilted her head, raised her arm to look at her hands, and the fine calluses on her fingertips had disappeared.

"My body has been modified by your abilities, sister?"

Thoth looked at Nojiko and chuckled, "It seems that when your abilities awaken in the future, you will be the top human sculptor on this sea."

Nojiko was taken aback by his words, then rolled her eyes at Thoth, "I would never do that kind of business!"

Nami then ran up to Karina, pinched her cheek, and felt the smooth touch of her fingertips, her eyes filled with envy.

"With your ability to merge, could you merge the three of us together?"

Karina looked up and blinked, then a mischievous smile appeared on her lips: "There is no limit to the number of times my abilities can be fused."

However, she hesitated for a moment before continuing:

"However, I cannot sustain it with my own physical strength. It's like the barrel principle. In the fusion, I am the main body, so when I consume too much energy, the fusion will dissolve. Moreover, the more biological fusions there are, the secondary personalities between consciousnesses will probably cause me a heavy mental burden."

However, if you call me "sister" and Sister Noki agrees, then I'll reluctantly help you become beautiful.

Nami's face darkened instantly, but the thought of becoming beautiful made her change her expression in a flash, and she called out to her with a sweet, cloying smile:

"Big sister Karina, please help me!"

Karina's eye twitched. "Mud Stick Cat, you really have no morals!"

Upon hearing this, Nami immediately pouted. "You can't afford to play the 'secret' game and become super beautiful, but out of the three of us, I'm the only one who's still the most 'ordinary.' That's not fair."

Then, she looked pitifully at Nojiko, who blinked and smiled, saying:

"Call me 'Dear Big Sister,' and you'll be washing my clothes for the next week."

Nami nodded with a sullen expression.

After calling out, Nami turned to look at Karina, squinting at her, and asked, "Have you rested enough?"

Karina looked speechless, but then her eyes lit up and she looked at Thoth beside her: "How about we combine first?"

Thoth raised an eyebrow, Nami's eyes widened slightly, and Karina glanced at her, grinning as she said:

"Would you like to see Thoth become even more perfect?"

Just one sentence made Nami's eyes widen in surprise. Then, she glanced at Thoth without making a sound and licked her lips:

"It seems quite promising."

As she spoke, Karina glanced at Thoth again, then winked at him:

"Want to give it a try? A perfect body should have a very positive effect on your subsequent cultivation."

Thoth stroked his chin and nodded:

"It seems quite interesting. I also want to try what it's like to become a user of three Devil Fruits."

"Moreover, my vitality is abundant, which should also bring you some benefits. Let's give it a try."

Upon receiving Tote's affirmation, Karina's eyes immediately lit up with joy.
