One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

"You damned scum, what have you done to my fellow countrymen?!"

Thoth looked up and saw that Ah Long had kicked off the ground under the door frame and shot straight out like a cannonball.

The raised head, the furious eyes, and the sharp, straight, jagged nose shot out like spearheads.

His eyes gleamed with a deep red light, his Observation Haki fully activated, and Thoth Steel hung at his side.

It's a crisis... but also an opportunity.

In the blink of an eye, Ah Long's figure flew in front of him.

With both hands gripping the sword, Thoth suddenly swung it towards his neck. Aron's face contorted in rage, and he jerked his head away. Clang! A piercing metallic clang suddenly resounded.

The blade and Alon's jagged nose collided with a loud crash. At that moment, Thoth's eyes narrowed sharply, and a savage force, like an explosion, was transmitted from the sword to his body.

A gust of wind rose in the air, and Thoth's figure was instantly thrown backward.

"Damn human, I will definitely kill you."

Ah Long landed, his eyes blazing with fury.

Thoth adjusted his balance in mid-air, but his eyes were fixed on Aaron.

At that moment, upon confirming that Croobi and Akyu were both dead, Arlong abruptly turned around, his bloodshot eyes and ferocious face fixed on Akyu, pointing at Nojiko and Ken and roaring:

“Kill them, make them pay for the lives of our people.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ah Long roared again, his legs straining as he charged toward Thoth, who had just landed.

Hearing Ah Long's roar, Ah Jiu suddenly shivered and hurriedly agreed to Ah Long's back. Then, with a ferocious expression, she turned around and looked at the three people in the house.

Nami and the other two exchanged glances. Suddenly, Nojiko sprang up from the side, picked up a pot of boiling fish soup from the table, and splashed it at Aji.

Caught off guard, the latter had the soup splashed on his face. His angry eyes were covered by the hot soup, and a shrill scream suddenly rang out.

As he clutched his face and screamed in pain, Noki rushed forward, the solid soup bowl tracing a path through the air before exploding on his head with a bang.

Nami followed closely behind, grabbed a shovel that had been placed in the corner beforehand, and angrily swung it down on the back of Ajiu's head. Clang! The latter screamed and stopped, his body swaying.

At the same time, Ah Jian rushed out from the side with a ferocious expression, pulled out a kitchen knife that he had hidden in advance from his waist, and leaped up to swing it at his neck. With a "plop" sound, blood gushed out instantly.

Immediately afterward, Nojiko bent down and swept his leg, knocking him down. The latter's body crashed heavily to the floor. Nojiko picked up a sharp piece of porcelain from the ground, pounced on him, and stabbed him in the right eye, then the left eye.

Nami raised her foot and stomped on his groin repeatedly.

A few seconds later, Ah Jian pulled the two up, took a breath, and said, "Okay, this guy is as dead as can be."

With the three of them working together to launch a sneak attack, the arrogant fishman met his end. Nami bit her lip and suddenly looked towards the dark forest not far away, where a rumbling sound was coming from.

"I want to help him."

As soon as Nami uttered those words, A-Jian reflexively scolded her:

"Calm down. Ah Long is not a monster we can resist. All we can do is not cause him any trouble."

Don't forget how that kid took down those two cadres, Croobi and Achoo. We need to trust him.

Nami glared defiantly at A-Jian and said, word by word, "I can't do that. I can't let Thoth risk his life for us."

He had previously stated that he was currently no match for Ah Long.

"Then you can't go and die. Or even cause him trouble."

Ah Jian roared angrily, and Nami's expression froze for a moment, but suddenly, Nami seemed to have grasped at a straw:

"Oh right, I also have that Devil Fruit. Thoth said that although he wasn't sure what type it was, if I could win the bet, I could help him."

With that, Nami turned and rushed into the room. Ken was bewildered, but seeing that Nojiko had already followed, he quickly followed her.

Back in her room, Nami retrieved her backpack from a hidden compartment in the wardrobe and quickly took out the Devil Fruit.

Just as she was about to put it in her mouth, Nojiko calmly grabbed her wrist. Nami turned around in confusion, and Nojiko asked her calmly:

"Do you even know what type of thing this is? We don't know either. What if the fruit's ability isn't something that brings combat?"

Nami bit her lip and said stubbornly:

"I can't worry about that now, this is the only solution I can think of."

Nojiko's gaze grew increasingly calm, but she had already come to her senses: "Nami, this trouble started because of me, and even if we're going to take an adventure, it shouldn't be you who goes."

You've done enough. It's thanks to your seafaring talent that our Cocoyasi village doesn't have to suffer from their harassment as often as other villages.

"I don't have your talent, but my physical abilities are currently superior. Thoth has been diligently training me in combat lately, and if I could help him, the advantages I bring would be far more cost-effective than yours."

"Thoth once said that even if someone eats a Devil Fruit, they still need a strong foundation within themselves to unleash its full potential."

"Nami, I'll take care of this."

Nojiko reached out and pressed down on the fruit in Nami's hand, but Nami didn't let go. Nojiko looked into her eyes and whispered:

"Nami, give me the chance."

Nami looked up at her and saw the determination in Nojiko's eyes. Her heart trembled slightly, and her fingers involuntarily relaxed. She knew that what Nojiko said was true.

Only in this way can the maximum potential of this Devil Fruit be realized.

As for A-Jian, Nuoqi was confident that he was definitely no match for him right now.

Seeing Nami loosen her grip slightly, Nojiko secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because in the current situation, the best solution was for her to eat it herself.

Furthermore, Nami absolutely cannot be a Devil Fruit user.

Even if they ultimately lose and Arlong wins, as long as he still wants the sea chart and hasn't completely lost his mind, Nami won't die.

An ordinary Nami is naturally not as threatening as a Nami with superpowers.

As long as she was alive, there was always a future; she firmly believed in this.

This was the only thing she could do for Nami.

Thinking this, Nojiko picked up the fruit, her eyes calm. She couldn't let her sister bear all the risks alone. She opened her mouth and suddenly... took a big bite.

……

In the woods far from the house.

Thoth fought and retreated, leading Aaron to this side.

clang!

Ah Long's face was unusually gloomy at this moment. He held the shark teeth that had fallen off on his own in both hands. After clashing with Thoth's sharp blade, he watched as Thoth's figure used the force to retreat rapidly backward.

"Damn human rat, is this all you can do to run away?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ah Long charged forward again.

Thoth's eyes were calm. In the few minutes of the fight, he had clearly realized one fact: Ah Long in front of him was far superior to him in terms of physical ability.

Even though her [Body] attribute had reached 15 points, there was still a considerable gap between her and him.

However, with his masterful swordsmanship, keen senses, and remarkable control over his body, Thoth was not going to be able to defeat Arlong quickly.

This battle... will not be lost.

Although his physical stats are strong, they cannot overwhelm me. Fighting is not about who is physically stronger and who will definitely win.

Thoth's various fundamentals, combined with his Observation Haki, have enabled him to maintain an "unbeatable" state.

But Tot knew in his heart that this apparent "invincibility" was not permanent.

If this kind of battle, which requires one's full concentration, continues, then problems will inevitably arise sooner or later due to excessive energy depletion.

However, in this focused battle, Thoth discovered that his use of Observation Haki was becoming increasingly proficient.

Alon's figure suddenly appeared in front of Thoth, his arms flailing wildly as he attacked Thoth like a storm, the clanging and snapping sounds emanating from the shark-tooth weapon in his hand.

The air was vibrating.

Thoth skillfully maneuvered within a narrow area, precisely slipping through the gaps in his attack.

He wielded his longsword continuously, his spirit and energy condensing, and a cold, sharp light flashed repeatedly as he fought back while searching for an opportunity to kill with a single blow.

"Damn it!" After failing to break through, Ah Long roared and kicked out with a powerful kick. The wind howled, but Thoth's eyes were calm. He had already sensed it from the frequency of the movement of Ah Long's muscles.

opportunity.

His body suddenly leaned forward, and his legs kicked out with force. Ah Long's right leg whistled over his head, but Thoth barely touched the ground and dodged the ferocious attack of his right leg.

At the same time, as Thoth's upper body passed over his left leg, a sword suddenly slashed horizontally across the back of his left calf.

With a splatter, a handful of blood splattered out. Ah Long let out a muffled groan as a sharp pain shot through the back of his left leg. At that moment, Thoth appeared behind him, then stomped off the ground again, raised his sword, and swiftly slashed down at Ah Long's back with a flash of cold light.

clang!

Ah Long braced himself on his right foot, suddenly turned around, and rammed headfirst into the object.

His serrated nose was as sharp as steel, and amidst sparks flying, Ah Long grinned and roared furiously:

"Gotcha, you damned rat."

With a sudden jerk of his head, he used brute force to deflect Thoth's sword in an instant. Then, with his outstretched arms, the shark-tooth-like claws in his hands lunged fiercely at Thoth's body.

Iron Teeth Kung Fu.

Even up close, in the dim moonlight, Thoth could see the bloodthirsty, chilling light emanating from his vertical pupils.

At this moment, under Alon's brute force, Thoth's arms went numb from the shock, and he felt phantom pain in his neck and side waist.

In his Observational Sight, based on the feedback from Arlong's movement frequency, his body movements appeared in his consciousness as if at a slower speed.

The red light in Thoth's eyes grew even deeper; this moment could be a fatal crisis, or it could be the key to victory.

If you want to kill Ah Long, who is stronger than you, then when you meet on a narrow path, the ruthless one will win.

then.

Thoth took a half step forward with his left foot and shifted his body to the left.

Immediately afterwards, a soft "plop" sound came from his body. He dodged Ah Long's left hand grabbing and biting his neck, but Ah Long's sharp shark teeth grabbed and bit Thoth's left waist.

A wave of stinging sensation washed over me.

But at this moment, a ruthless look appeared in Tote's eyes. As his left foot stepped out and landed, his right leg was already raised. At this moment, he concentrated his energy and poured all his strength into his right leg, kicking out in an instant amidst the howling wind.

BOOM! ...

One kick to the groin.
