One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

"Besides, I don't want to die; you haven't given me the antidote yet."

"Speaking of which, we're already partners, aren't you going to give me the antidote yet?"

014. Begin!

"Wait until things are settled here."

Thoth said calmly, and Nami pouted, somewhat dissatisfied: "What about basic trust between people?"

"You who stole my wallet, leaving me penniless and almost making me sleep on the streets at night have no right to say that."

Nami shrank back, knowing she was in the wrong.

"By the way, where's your boat? Let's go check it out."

Nami blinked, nodded, zipped up her coat, and stealthily led Thoth out of the cabin.

Soon, the two left the cabin and went to the outer deck, where they looked around.

The pirates on deck remained focused on the fights taking place at the port.

Nami gestured for Thoth to follow, and the two arrived at the stern of the ship. They leaned against the railing, and Nami pointed to an old, five-meter-long boat that was fixed to a small boat on the pirate ship.

She essentially brought her own investment to the project.

There are still a few oars on the deck.

Small but complete.

It has a single mast and a sail, and there is a cabin at the stern of the small boat, which looks like it can only squeeze in two or three adults at most.

"Your boat is quite unique?"

Thoth couldn't help but complain, "Won't this little shabby boat capsize if a wave hits it?"

"Who do you think you are?" Nami wrinkled her nose and glared at Thoth with wide eyes.

"Do you think I wouldn't dare to sail this vast ocean alone in a small boat if I didn't have some skills?"

Don't worry, with my abilities, I will absolutely not let you die at sea.

I knew the ocean currents, climate, and reef distribution in these surrounding waters by heart three years ago. I could navigate the seas with my eyes closed.

Hearing the strong confidence in her calm words, Thoth's lips curled into a slight smile. He believed her words; after all, Nami was a super genius navigator.

This is a job I was born to do.

I remember she was able to sense changes in the climate by the touch of her skin.

Sensitive skin? Not bad.

"Can you swim?"

Nami suddenly asked a question, and Thoth raised an eyebrow, tilting his head and looking at her questioningly. Nami explained:

“If I steal the treasure, I certainly can’t keep the boat moored on the shore any longer. I’ll sail the boat a hundred meters away.”

If you can swim, then swim over here yourself.

That will make it easier for us to escape later.

Thoth was speechless. "You habitual offender, you've even learned from stealing experience?"

Nami pouted, "Will it work?"

Tot nodded and chuckled, "Of course, I'm an excellent swimmer. I can fight small sharks in the sea."

The "Underwater Combat Techniques" skill can only be mastered through combat in the sea.

I killed one in the sea before, but that time, it was a close call.

However, right now, Tote is fully confident that he can easily take them down.

This is the confidence that comes with strength.

Hearing Thoth's answer, Nami breathed a slight sigh of relief. Thoth then asked her:

"By the way, do you know where Norton's captain's cabin is?"

Upon hearing this, Nami looked at Thoth with disdain: "Who do you think you are?"

Yesterday afternoon I infiltrated the ship and figured out the location distribution of the people on board.

"The captain's cabin location? Such a small problem shouldn't be difficult for me!"

Nami puffed out her chest proudly, while Thoth rolled his eyes at her and patted her messy orange hair, causing Nami to glare at him with displeasure:

"Don't take pictures like that..."

But then, Nami's expression turned serious as she asked again:

When do you plan to take action?

Just as he was about to speak, Thoth noticed that the deck ahead seemed to have suddenly become quiet.

A few seconds later, a roar filled with suppressed rage suddenly rang out:

"Hisoka, you bastard, are you betraying me?"

Thoth and Nami exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.

Nami felt that she could finally make a big splash.

Thoth felt that with the outbreak of conflict, the intricacies of the situation finally became clear: it really was the first mate causing trouble here.

"Go check out the situation first. You stay behind me. If they start fighting, find your own opportunity. Once you get the goods, you can wait for me at sea in your boat."

Once you get the item, or if anything unexpected happens, shout my name. I'll come to your rescue.

Nami's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this; he was concerned about her. She quickly looked away, nodding obediently, but her tone was a bit sharp:

"Don't worry, I've never failed you all these years, except with you."

Thoth curled his lip: "It's a good thing I'm kind-hearted, otherwise you'd be waiting to be taken advantage of!"

"Kind-hearted? You?"

Nami was utterly speechless:

"Ruthless and vicious is more like it. I saw it with my own eyes. Those who messed with you were stabbed to death by you, one sword at a time."

"They want my life? Do they expect me to repay evil with kindness? My belief is: if someone treats me with respect, I will repay them with respect in return."

The rest wasn't mentioned, because Thoth had already led the way towards the front deck. Nami watched Thoth's retreating figure, pursing her lips and thinking to herself:

"So, you won't hold back against those who are mean to you?"

What about me? I stole your wallet and almost made you sleep on the streets!

So what do you think of me? You're not going to break my legs one day, are you?

She shook her head and quickly followed.

……

Below the pirate ship, in the open space of the port.

The fighting has stopped, and the pirates have split into two groups.

One group consisted of the elderly people on the ship, while the other group consisted of the newcomers.

They gripped various weapons tightly, and amidst the palpable tension, a strange atmosphere permeated the air.

They glared at each other, but there was little murderous intent between them.

Instead, they were on the open space on the ship's deck.

At this moment, two groups are also at odds.

But they were filled with murderous intent, as if they were determined to fight to the death.

Norton, along with the second and third officers, the navigator, and four other elderly men on board.

The other group consisted of Hisoka and the burly young man, along with seven new faces wielding knives.

"Norton, our entire group is in big trouble under your foolish leadership. I hope you will step down gracefully, or I will personally make you graceful."

Thoth had just arrived when he heard First Mate Hisoka say such things, and Thoth's arrival was seen by both groups.

Instantly, their gazes turned towards them, while Nami calmly shielded Thoth in front of her.

Norton's gaze hardened, and he instinctively asked coldly, "And who are you?"

Thoth's gaze was subtle. How could he not recognize him? Had he really changed that much after cleaning himself up? Or was Thoth blind?

"Oh? Isn't this Tote? That really surprises me!"

Hisoka's eyes lit up, and he looked at Thoth with a smile, while Thoth's face darkened. "That damn gay guy."

However, his insight was indeed sharp. Thoth looked at them with a half-smile, as if in doubt, and asked:

"What's going on? What kind of fun game are you playing?"

Hisoka smiled broadly, extended his right hand to Thoth, and said:

“Norton is a terrible captain. If he continues to lead us, we’ll all die. So I’m planning to kick him off the ship. Thoth, you’ll be on my side, right?”

Thoth's gaze remained unchanged as he looked at Norton, whose expression was cold and hard. Seeing Hisoka still trying to win people over, Norton's eyes twitched, unwilling to be left behind.

"Thoth, join us in taking down that traitor Hisoka, and you'll get the third mate position."

Thoth narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to look at Hisoka, and smiled faintly:

"While Captain Norton may not be very bright, First Mate, you're being far too stingy. You asked me to help you, but you won't give me any benefit in return."

Norton's face darkened at the insult, but Hisoka was even more enraged, gritting his teeth as he said:

"Thoth, do you think you deserve it? You're just a nobody. Do you really think Norton would let you be the third mate? Use your brain and think it over."

He just wants to use you as cannon fodder!

Thoth nodded calmly, as if agreeing with him, and strode toward the mainmast a few meters away.

As he walked, his long sword was drawn from its sheath at his waist. Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, when Thoth arrived at the mainmast...

A flash of cold light swept past in an instant.
