One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

Nokiko...noticing Thoth's gaze, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. Suddenly, she turned to the side and winked at Thoth, "Is it pretty?"

Thoth looked at the girl who was now approaching him, and at the sly glint in her eyes, and his brow twitched slightly.

"For your health, would you like me to take your measurements?"

At this point, Toth said seriously:

"Doctors have the heart of parents, so don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your privacy."

Nokiko's eyes went blank for a moment, then she remembered something and rolled her eyes at Thoth, speechless. "You wish."

"Huh? What are you dreaming about?"

Thoth looked blank, and Nokiko's lips twitched slightly. He had tried to tease Thoth, but instead, he had been teased.

He rolled his eyes at Tote, annoyed, and quickly changed the subject:

"Thoth, what do you think about me continuing my daily practice during the day, and then wearing sea stone on my wrist to build up my resistance after I go to sleep at night?"

"That's fine. Your main focus right now is to improve your physical foundation. There's no need to rush to increase your resistance to sea stone; it takes time and effort."

That's not something that can be accomplished in a day or two.

Furthermore, the stronger one's physical constitution, the better the effects of resistance training should be.

Nojiko seemed to be deep in thought, then looked at Thoth, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes:

"Um, when you train your body in the sea, could you take me with you to soak in the sea?"

I found that although seawater made me weak and exhausted, it wasn't as thorough as with sea stone.

As soon as my body entered the seawater, I was still able to move around and struggle a bit.

Although it won't take more than a second or two before they completely lose the strength to struggle.

Didn't you say that sea stone can also be considered a crystallization of seawater?

So, could immersing myself in 'low-purity' seawater be considered a form of low-purity resistance training?

What she said made sense, but it did delay his cultivation. However, he could take her with him when he was training his body in the sea.

This can also be considered a part of the process that involves bearing weight.

So he nodded:

"can."

With Thoth's agreement, Nojiko smiled and said, "Thanks, I'll make you your favorite lobster pasta later."

"Tsk!" Tote clicked his tongue, speechless as he looked at her: "You're making it sound like you won't do anything for me if I don't bring you along."

“That’s different,” Nojiko winked playfully. “If it’s about gratitude, I’ll put all my heart into it.”

Upon hearing this, Tote smiled and shook his head.

The two continued chatting while sitting there. After a while, Nami came up the stairs with her footsteps clattering.

After discovering that the two were practically having tea while chatting, Nami squinted and muttered:

"I went to train the new recruits, while you two were comfortably chatting here. How cunning."

Nokiko chuckled, "The capable should do more. Don't they call you 'Big Sister'?"

Upon hearing this, Nami rolled her eyes at her, but then she looked at Nojiko with a bright smile and said:

"Want to go shopping? I'll take you to buy clothes."

As she spoke, Nami winked at Thoth:

"Then you can stay and watch the boat. I'll buy you clothes later."

Thoth smiled and nodded:

"By the way, could you also buy them a couple of sets of clothes later? I noticed they don't have any luggage with them, so they probably don't have anything."

Nami raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Sure, we need to keep the ship clean, so I'll take the job."

Thoth, shackled with sea stone, left with them and went up to the deck, watching them step onto the harbor and enter the town to stroll around.

Now, upon entering the cabin, he saw that the weapons he had purchased had been neatly arranged by Nojiko on the weapon rack near the corner of the wall by the door.

Using his Observation Haki, Thoth sensed that Johnny and Joseph were in the cabin near the bow of the ship. Ignoring them, he returned to the lower level and went to his room.

The batch of medicinal herbs I bought has already been placed in my room.

I picked up my things, went to the wardrobe, pulled a handle on the ground, and a wooden board was lifted up, revealing the stairs below.

Thoth pressed the switch on the wall, and the light came on at the bottom of the stairs.

Going down the stairs, you come to a simple workshop, where Tote has sorted and arranged some of the medicinal herbs on a worktable.

The drug preparation process has begun.

049. Poison Resistance!

The workshop has been reinforced, with steel plates embedded in the surrounding walls.

The exhaust fan in the corner of the ceiling was turned on, allowing air to circulate in the room.

Looking at the medicinal herbs on the table now.

Raw strychnine seeds, raw pinellia tuber, raw arisaema tuber, raw euphorbia kansui, blister beetles...

Different medicinal materials are crushed, mixed, and blended in a mortar and pestle, then stored in a beaker, heated with an alcohol lamp, and water is added to extract the essence, which is then poured into a test tube.

At the "practice makes perfect" level of medical skills, Thoth possessed a considerable amount of knowledge about drug formulation and pharmacology.

While in Cocoyasi, Thoth had already prepared many other drugs on his own, so he found it easy to do it now.

Before long, non-lethal poisons and antidotes were prepared.

Medical skill proficiency +2

Looking at the dark brown liquid in the test tube in my hand, I realized that this was a drug that could cause physiological dizziness, nausea, and weakness. If taken in excess, it could lead to neurasthenia.

Overconsumption can be fatal to most people.

However, given Tote's current physical strength, there is no need to worry too much about any irreversible effects.

In the future, they can also ask Nojiko to test her abilities. Her Smooth-Smooth Fruit ability makes her a perfect testing ground for Thoth. The two can work together for a win-win situation.

However, since this was the first time he had used himself as a test subject, Toth was still quite conservative in his dosage selection.

At this moment, he tilted his head back and swallowed the liquid in the test tube. All sorts of strange tastes, including bitter, fishy, ​​and spicy, flooded his taste buds. His physical condition improved and his absorption ability became quite good. As a result, Thoth quickly became somewhat intoxicated.

My body began to feel weak, and nausea, dizziness, and severe stomach cramps followed one after another. I also started to sweat profusely.

Thoth slowly moved, wanting to find a place to sit down, but his body suddenly stumbled and fell to his knees.

Shaking my head vigorously, I began to see double images in front of me.

Thoth felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, a normal reaction to the medication. At this moment, his eyes were calm as he adjusted his breathing and slowly lay down on the ground. As time passed, his chest rose and fell with a peculiar rhythm, and he carefully sensed that the various symptoms in his body were gradually lessening.

The body's "self-recovery" function takes effect.

The "Slightly Accomplished" skill provides considerable resistance to the effects of this non-lethal poison.

Thoth was able to sense that his internal organs were constantly adapting, and that his body was gradually developing a special resistance to the drug.

Time passed slowly, and after half an hour, Thoth slowly sat up, his discomfort having mostly disappeared.

At that moment, a light screen panel appeared before him, and Thoth's eyes lit up slightly.

[Self-Recovery (Slight Achievement 0→1/500)]

"It seems my guess was correct. As the body constantly resists and adapts to the poison's erosion, it also improves its skill level as it recovers."

Seeing this, a slight smile appeared on Thoth's lips. He stood up, took the antidote from another test tube on the table, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Every medicine has its side effects; even if it appears to be an antidote, it can still increase the body's resistance to that drug.

With the antidote ingested and the body recovering, the remaining discomfort quickly disappeared.

At this moment, looking at the remaining medicinal herbs on the table, Thoth pondered in his mind: "Poison resistance cultivation must be done step by step. The body's resistance is like a spring; it cannot be squeezed too frequently all at once."

Based on your current physical condition, it's best not to do this kind of practice more than 15 times a day at your current level, so that your body can gradually adapt.

"Then prepare the medication in advance, and conduct toxin resistance training during rest periods of exercise. It should be done in a reasonable and planned manner."

Having made the decision, Tot continued to prepare and process the remaining medicinal materials. Each antidote was made and sealed in a small, palm-sized glass bottle that had been purchased.

And make sure to label the efficacy of the medicine.

With each effective medicine produced, the doctor's skill level also increases.

after an hour,

Leaving the workshop, Toth went to the deck outside; it was already dark.

"Brother Toth?"

Upon arriving on deck, Johnny, who was chatting with Joseph, was the first to spot Thoth, his eyes filled with curiosity:

"Big brother, are you done resting?"

Upon discovering Thoth, Joseph scratched his head, looked at Thoth, and smiled:

"I thought you, Brother Thoth, and Sister Nami and the others had all gone out!"

Thoth looked at the two of them and laughed:

"How does this ship feel?"

The two exchanged a glance, then grinned broadly. Johnny said happily:

"That's great! We didn't expect to have beds on the ship. We thought it would be hammocks!"

"Honestly, it's been a long time since we've stayed in such a comfortable room."

Joseph said happily.

Tot nodded. "Hasn't Nami and the others returned yet?"

As he spoke, he released his Observation Haki, but after a few breaths, he withdrew it, maintaining his perception range within 10 meters around him, honing the accuracy of his Observation Haki.
