One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

"Dual-wielding style. Secret technique. Tornado."

As an apprentice who joined the ship, Zoro was naturally tasked with cleaning the deck, as is customary.

However, he felt that cleaning with just one mop was too time-consuming. So, holding two mops, he quickly moved across the deck and cleaned very fast.

As she swung the mop, the air whistled through the air, but a drop of dirty water splashed onto Nami's face near the second-floor railing.

The girl fell silent for a few seconds, then shouted in a low voice, "Zoro! If you're cleaning, clean properly, don't just play with the cleaning tools!"

Zoro stopped and raised an eyebrow at Nami, the navigator. "Can't I just clean it up? I'll clean it quickly, and Burgess can wipe it with a rag later."

You're such a hassle!

Nami's lips twitched, and her gaze turned hostile: "Do you want to get beaten up?"

Zoro let out a cold laugh:

"You think I wouldn't hit a woman?"

Nami took a deep breath, and the next moment a whirlwind swept around her, appearing in front of him in the blink of an eye. She punched him in the face, Zoro's pupils shrank, and a sharp pain swept over his face. In an instant, he turned into a black shadow and flew backward.

While still in mid-air, Nami roared with sharp teeth, "Go to the sea and reflect on your actions. I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Nami took a deep breath, and a platinum tornado instantly shot out.

In the blink of an eye, Zoro was swept up by the tornado, arcing through the sky before crashing heavily into the sea a hundred meters away.

A few seconds later, his silhouette floated on the sea.

Nami snorted coldly, "Aren't you going to hit a woman? Do you think you can beat me? You're the weakest idiot on the ship."

As he spoke, he glanced at Bages, whose eye was twitching on the deck, and gave him a cold, stern look:

"What are you looking at me for? Go and pull him out, or do you want to go for a soak with him too?"

Burgess: "..."

"I can't mess with him," he thought, and quickly jumped into the sea, swimming freely towards Zoro's sinking spot.

On the second-floor balcony, Thoth observed everything, while Nokigo, who was drinking tea at the nearby table, looked surprised.

"Nami's control over the White Tiger Golden Wind has become increasingly refined. How come Zoro wasn't cut into a bloody mess by that wind that brings sharp cutting properties?"

Thoth exclaimed, "It's Armament Haki! It's Armament Haki with its invisible defensive properties integrated into the wind. She can control it at will by breathing through all things."

It's like a swordsman's choice between cutting and not cutting.

However, due to the addition of Armament Haki, the blunt force impact was still considerable, and coupled with the force of the impact from the air crashing into the sea, Zoro was still unable to withstand it.

"Wow~ Nami is so violent, that's nothing like me. I'm so gentle!"

Karina chuckled, and just then Nami stepped forward, her eye twitching: "Talking behind people's backs, be careful you don't get mouth sores!"

Karina blinked and stuck her tongue out at Nami. "No way, I'm not lying. I only tell the truth."

Nami's gaze turned hostile. Karina's eyes darted around, and suddenly, looking pitiful, she got up and ran to Thoth's side, grabbing his arm and tattled on him:

"Look at Nami, she's yelling at me again!"

That subtle elasticity clung tightly to Thoth's arm, and as Nami watched it change shape under the pressure, she let out a cold laugh:

"You really know how to seize an opportunity."

Karina rolled her eyes at her: "I can't compare to you, you always find a chance to sneak a bite."

Nami smiled smugly: "If you're so capable, then go and steal some food yourself."

Nokiko was speechless: "You two should watch your image."

A cough! A sound rang out as Zoro was carried ashore by Burgess, looking utterly incredulous. Burgess patted him on the shoulder, his eyes subtly revealing his thoughts:

"Brother Zoro! Let me tell you something. You're probably the weakest one on this ship. Also, don't challenge the navigator's authority."

Zoro's eyes darkened. "I'll kill that woman sooner or later."

Bages' eye twitched, and he subtly moved away from him to avoid getting splattered with blood.

Johnny and the others blinked. At that moment, Tiger Girl silently appeared behind him. Burgess's mouth opened slightly. Zoro sensed something was wrong and quickly turned around, but in the blink of an eye, he was whipped away by Tiger Girl's tail.

Splash! With a scream, a wave splashed up on the sea.

Tiger Girl growled and grinned, tilting her head back as she glanced at Bages before silently and arrogantly walking past him.

Burgess's eye twitched. Tiger Girl, who had mastered dual-color Haki, was very strong.

And she's also a huge fan of Nami.

Sigh! He deserved it for being so rude, but after thinking about it, he turned around and jumped back into the sea to try and rescue him.

Sigh! My life is so tiring.

……

On the vast, boundless sea.

Clang! Clang clang clang!!!

on the deck.

Johnny, wielding two swords, was engaged in a frenzied battle with Zoro, who wielded three swords, on the deck covered with a layer of bluish-black Kodama flooring.

The two swords in Zoro's hand are two fine weapons that he found in the ship's armory and had stored away before.

The two were of similar swordsmanship level, but their attacks were equally ferocious. Thoth stood on the second floor, with the entire cabin wall covered with a layer of dark blue spirit wood comparable to steel.

Let the two of them fight it out.

He would occasionally offer them pointers, and from Zoro, Thoth learned the swordsmanship of the Shimotsuki Isshin-ryu school.

It is a very exquisite swordsmanship, and its principles focus on the development of the mind and spirit.

I have a different feeling about Tote.

Extract its essence and integrate it into oneself.

Nami controlled the storm, sailing at top speed across the sea with full sails.

Four days later, in the morning, the group arrived at the town of Alpha, the 16th Naval Squadron in the Konom Islands.

They stopped here for rest and repairs, and at the same time, Tot obtained a new batch of various rare supplies from Merka.

Kaya was delighted to see Thoth and the others; her health was now largely restored.

However, Thoth still took the time to regulate her life meridians with life essence and taught her a set of advanced physical exercise methods.

She will be healthier in the future.

At the same time, Thoth gave Merka a fruit containing abundant life essence to nourish her body as a token of gratitude for the rare resources he had given her.

After finishing their business, Kaya led the group on a tour of the increasingly bustling town.

noon,

A banquet was held on the ship, and Kaya came to participate. There was delicious food, beautiful singing, and a happy atmosphere among the guests.

In the afternoon, Thoth took some time to visit Mouse and Zango, and talked to them about future developments.

The three agreed that Zango would be recommended by Rat to attend the officer training camp at the Navy Headquarters.

However, even with the achievements he had made with Crowe last time, the mouse still failed to get promoted, and he was very resentful.

At the same time, Thoth provided Django with six mutated fruits to enhance his strength. After consuming them and digesting them through strong self-suggestion, Django's mental strength and hypnotic abilities underwent a powerful transformation.

This also awakened the domineering aura of Observation Haki through the medium.

The hypnotic abilities became more powerful and readily available, possessing the effect of deeply modifying people's thoughts and consciousness. As an experiment, mice were used as targets.

Under Thoth's arrangement, the rat's mind was completely and permanently hypnotized, turning him into a die-hard loyalist of Thoth Zango. In the future, the rat will take care of everything Thoth needs to take care of in the East Sea.

Not only the rats, but all the officers and "powerful" soldiers of the 16th branch were hypnotized by Zango from beginning to end.

From this point on, even if Thoth and the others and Django head to the Grand Line, they no longer need to worry about that greedy little rat.

The next morning.

Thoth and his companions left the rats.

Port area.

Kaya and Merka saw off Tote's ship here. Kaya looked reluctant to part, and only after the ship could no longer be seen was she back home. She looked at Merka with earnest eyes:

"Dad, you said before that you were planning to expand your business to the Grand Line?"

Merka raised an eyebrow. "Yes, our business in the East Blue is already big enough. Our market here is basically saturated, but the Grand Line will have a much larger market."

Just like the "Heypanda" brand, in which our family holds shares, they've already opened up the market all the way to the Grand Line.

Kaya bit her lip. "Dad, I want a Devil Fruit. I'll become very strong. My teacher taught me that."

"I'd like to visit the Grand Line someday."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Merka's eyes, but she did not object:

"Then I'll think of a solution."

……

Time flew by, and it was noon.

Not far away on the sea, a giant oval three-story ship appeared, with goldfish heads at both ends.

Barati, a restaurant on the sea.

Soon after, the Breaker docked at the Barrati mooring point.

on the deck.

Nojiko looked at the giant ship with curiosity. "Is this the gathering place of the famous battle chefs in the East China Sea? I heard that the food on board is super delicious."

Especially considering the delicious food Chef Zeff makes, Thoth, do you think he'd agree to trade such a valuable recipe?

Thoth smiled and said, "Let's go up there and see if it tastes as good as the legends say before we talk about it."

Immediately, everyone set off, leaving Tiger Girl to watch the boat.

Stepping onto the Barratier walkway, Tote inhaled the fragrance wafting in the air, a hint of anticipation appearing in his eyes.

With a ding, Burgess pushed open the restaurant door, and everyone filed in.
