One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

108. Returning to One's Heart! Name!

"Hey Johnny, tell me, how strong are Nojiko and Nami?"

"Does she also possess that combined burst ability like Karina?"

"What? Did you suffer a loss at Sister Karina's hands?"

I'm guessing, did she get beaten up by Thoth after merging with him?

The two stood by the fence, Johnny looking at the newcomer with a strange expression.

In his long-term training and beatings that had honed his wild instincts, this newcomer's physical abilities were probably no less than his own.

Although Karina is now equally powerful, the fact that Burgess is so wary of her is probably just what I thought.

Unable to help but look at him with admiration, Bagges's eye twitched. Having been seen through by Johnny, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed and angry:

"So, are you going to tell me or not?"

Joseph walked over and said to him earnestly, "On this ship, I have to remind you of a rule: you can joke around with Brother Toth as you please, but you'd better not mess with those three big sisters."

The three boss ladies are not only powerful in themselves, but they also have indispensable roles in sailing the seas. Most importantly, they are all soulmates of Brother Thoth.

Think about the pros and cons yourself.

Bages' mouth gaped open. Although he wasn't particularly fond of women, he could still distinguish between absolute beauty and ugliness in women.

The three women on the ship were the most beautiful women he had ever seen, and in terms of looks, they were probably no less stunning than that of the pirate empress.

They were also cooks, navigators, and accountants, making them the most important figures on a ship, second only to the captain.

At that moment, he knew that these three women were people he couldn't afford to offend in the future; their whispers in his ear could be like a knife cutting into his bones!

However, we still need to thoroughly investigate their abilities; we must determine our level of respect for them based on their strength.

Bages thought to himself.

Seeing the three people cricketing by the fence not far away, Thoth turned his attention back to the approaching naval warship.

The Observation Haki was released instantly, and soon a collision of Observation Haki came from the opposing warship.

Immediately afterwards, a figure shrouded in smoke appeared above the warship, causing Smoker to frown.

Thump! With a series of soft footsteps, he swiftly landed on the deck of the Wavebreaker, his eyes filled with displeasure.

"Did you come to see me because you need something?"

Thoth smiled and said, "No, I just happened to be here for a stroll."

"What? You're going back?"

"What else? Continue to waste time here?"

Smoker glared at Thoth with resentment in his eyes: "I'm here because of all the trouble you caused?"

Thoth waved his hand and chuckled:

"Nonsense, what does it have to do with me? It's that bastard Du Feld who can't manage his subordinates and is coming to cause me trouble."

Smoker's eyes flickered slightly. "Could you explain in detail? It would be helpful for me to report back on the mission. Don't worry, it won't harm you."

Thoth smiled, and since it wasn't anything he couldn't talk about, he simply recounted his feud with Dragu.

Smoker understood after listening; it really wasn't Thoth's fault. The real culprit was that guy named Drago.

"The mission here is over, so I won't stay any longer. You can come find me in Loguetown when you have time."

Smoker's lips curled up slightly, and Thoth smiled at him: "Alright, I'll give you some time to train. Next time I see you, we can spar."

Smoker's gaze sharpened instantly, and he sneered, "I'm ready to fight anytime!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly disintegrated, turning into a cloud of smoke that shot back into the air.

Thoth waved his hand, dispersing the thick smoke in front of him, his lips twitching slightly:

"That wicked bastard actually used this damn smoke to suffocate me."

Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind rose up, blowing away all the remaining smoke on the ship, and Nami appeared beside Thoth, her face showing displeasure:

"That guy was so rude. Do you think I should go and return the favor?"

Watching the warship a hundred meters away busily raising anchor and hoisting sails, Nami's eyes gleamed with eager anticipation. Thoth smiled and shook his head.

"Forget it, just beat him up next time you see him."

Nami laughed and said, "Okay, it's settled then."

……

After a while.

Thoth and the others stood at the fence, watching Burgess roar in anger as Johnny, in his half-beast form, relentlessly beat them on the shore.

Burgess possesses formidable physical strength, comparable to Johnny in his half-beast form, but under the influence of Armament Haki, he can only suffer a brutal beating.

Van Augur's eyes widened in amazement, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is this the power of Haki and Zoan-type Devil Fruits?"

At this moment, Tote nodded and called for a stop. The two people below stopped. Tote gestured to Karina, and the girl immediately threw out a palm-sized transparent wooden bottle containing a potion.

Bages caught it, opened it, and gulped it down. This was a potion concocted by Thoth to help restore the body's energy.

At Thoth's signal, Joseph jumped off the ship, and fifteen minutes later, the battle resumed.

And once again, under Joseph's steel body, Burgess couldn't even break through his defenses. Furthermore, Joseph didn't even need to activate his steel-melting state; he simply used Armament Haki to completely break through Burgess's defenses.

Time passed in the battle, and he then endured triple torture from Nami and Karina (who had merged with Tiger Girl). As the fighting champion from the Grand Line, he finally realized the truth that there are always stronger people out there.

The fact that all of Nojiko's group were Devil Fruit users made Burgess so envious that he shed tears.

Especially the "powerful" Devil Fruit abilities of Nami, Johnny, and Joseph.

Thoth also figured out exactly what level Bages's skills were at.

His fighting skills are roughly at the middle level of a beginner.

In terms of fighting skills alone, she is not much different from Nojiko and Nami.

That's already quite good.

After all, Nami and Thoth were personally guiding them in their techniques.

Upon reaching the shore, Thoth looked at Burgess, who was lying exhausted on the ground, and smiled.

"How do you feel about their strength?"

Bages suddenly sat up, his eyes burning as he looked at Thoth. "Boss Thoth, I, Bages, am completely convinced. Please teach me Haki and fighting techniques."

As the burly young man before him bowed and pleaded, Thoth's calm voice rang out:

"I welcome the exchange of combat techniques. As long as you are ambitious, I will teach you anything I know, free of charge."

Bages suddenly sat up straight, his eyes burning with fervor, and said excitedly, "From now on, my life is in your hands!"

Thoth smiled. "I don't want your life. I want you to live, grow stronger, and explore this vast and magnificent ocean with us."

At this moment, an invisible aura emanated from Thoth that captivated him. Bages's eyes glazed over, then he nodded emphatically:

"I understand, boss! I will keep getting stronger and stronger. I will become the sharpest knife in your hand, hitting wherever you point it."

Thoth smiled and nodded: "Alright, now you can rest well and look forward to the welcome banquet we have prepared for you and Oka."

Bages grinned and nodded.

Back in the cabin.

The group drank and chatted, while Thoth took the time to prepare a training plan for the two newcomers.

The Six Styles are a necessity.

Tonics are a basic welfare benefit.

Getting beaten up is something you have to get used to every day.

In the afternoon,

The sumptuous banquet came to an end.

When Bagels saw Johnny and the others going to exercise, his eyes immediately lit up with urgency.

Should it be rolled up like this?

He joined without hesitation.

Three grown men were engaged in basic exercises with great enthusiasm, shirtless and shouting slogans, creating a philosophical atmosphere.

On the lower level of the Breaker, after arranging rooms for the two of them, Toth led Van Augur to the armory below the bow. At that moment, a glimmer of light appeared in Van Augur's eyes:

"Tote, how about this room? Let's tidy it up. The top floor can be used as my workshop, and I usually sleep in the cubicle on the second basement level."

His eyes were filled with excitement. "My duties are sniper and lookout, but I'm not only good at marksmanship, but also at artillery. I can also modify firearms. My sniper rifle, 'Qianliu,' was modified by myself."

He's still a technician.

Thoth was both surprised and unsurprised, and nodded with a smile, "Sure, you can do whatever you want with all the guns and cannons in this cabin."

Oh, by the way, I also have a two-round burst sniper rifle here, do you want it?

Van Augur's eyes lit up immediately, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, of course I want it. Thank you."

After a while,

In the living room on the first floor.

Watching Van Augur quickly disassemble the sniper rifle he had seized from the Furious Beasts.

A light shone in Toth's eyes, and he began to inquire in detail about his knowledge and skills in marksmanship and artillery.

Sensing Thoth's interest in gunplay, and remembering Thoth's reputation as a weapons master, Van Auger shared all his knowledge without reservation.

Thoth also possesses knowledge of archery, card throwing, and other advanced techniques, which in turn provide a deeper technical extension to spearmanship.

He analyzed and resolved various techniques in his mind and selflessly passed them on to Van Oka.

Van Augur's eyes gleamed with excitement, and he was genuinely impressed by Thoth's mastery of weaponry, which left him in awe.

This is fate, indeed. Being by Toth's side will definitely make me stronger.
