One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

Just then, the hem of his shirt was tugged at the waist. Thoth turned his head and met Nami's gaze. Nami's eyes were filled with deep surprise.

"Isn't this little thing a bit too smart? Do you think it might be some human child who ate a tiger-type Devil Fruit?"

Nami has quite the imagination, but it's not impossible. Thoth lowered his eyes to look at the tiger cub, his eyes filled with inquiry:

Are you human?

Immediately, seeing the confusion and disdain in the tiger cub's eyes, Toth's lips twitched involuntarily, and he spoke coldly:

"Nokigo, heat the oil in a bit, we're having tiger meat today."

"Roar!" The tiger cub was terrified and backed away, its small body squeezing at the back of the cage. Noki tugged at Tot's sleeve, and Tot looked at him. A hint of helplessness appeared in the latter's eyes: "Know when to stop."

Seeing this, Thoth looked at the lock on the iron cage, ripped it off, opened the cage, and chuckled:

"I'll give you three numbers to consider. If you agree to become my underling, come out here yourself. Otherwise, I'll start heating oil in a wok right now."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand to it:

"3......"

The tiger cub's ears twitched, and its eyes were wary, but it dared not hesitate. Before Tote could continue counting, it quickly crawled out of the cage.

He lay prone in front of Toth.

Seeing this, Thoth reached out and gently stroked the tiger's head. The tiger cub looked up at Thoth, and the wariness in his eyes gradually lessened. Thoth smiled and said:

"Since you've already agreed, then you'd better stay on our ship from now on."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tiger cub growled at Toth.

Seeing this, Nami blinked and grinned as she reached out to stroke the tiger's head, but the tiger cub bared its teeth.

Nami's face darkened, and she grabbed it by the scruff of its neck, lifting it up with a forced smile:

Do you want to get beaten up?

As she spoke, looking at the tiger cub struggling violently in her hands, Nami's hand suddenly trembled, causing the cub to shake violently. Then, she rolled her eyes and looked down, before grinning and saying:

"Oh! She's a tigress. I've decided, from now on I'll call you Pele."

"Belley?" Nojiko's expression was somewhat strained as she looked helplessly at Nami: "Are you serious about this weird name?"

Why not just call it Sapphire?

As she spoke, she looked into the tiger cub's beautiful, sapphire-blue eyes.

A howl rang out, and the tiger cub turned to look at Tote, its eyes filled with resentment.

Thoth saw this, took it from Nami, and lifted it up by the scruff of its neck. The tiger cub immediately quieted down, blinking its eyes and staring intently at Thoth.

Tote smiled slightly: "From now on, I'll call you Tiger Girl!"

Tiger Girl tilted her head, as if pondering the specific meaning of this awful name.

Seeing this, Thoth laughed:

"This name means strong, capable, and independent. You are a rare tiger, and you will be the main force of our ship in the future."

Upon hearing this, Tiger Girl's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly while letting out a low growl.

Nami's lips twitched, and Nojiko put a hand to her forehead. This stupid tiger cub, what's so nice about "Tiger Girl"? It's absolutely awful.

At this moment, Thoth noticed the cracked mouth of the tiger cub and its sunken belly. He could tell at a glance that Dagis and his gang must have been starving the cub, as long as it didn't die.

"Let's go, let's go out."

Carrying Tiger Girl, the three of them went outside. Before long, all the valuable supplies looted from the pirate ship were transferred to the Wavebreaker.

Johnny and Joseph even forcibly removed the ten ordinary gemstone rings of various colors from Dargis's fingers.

The bodies of the four wanted criminals were placed on a small boat attached to the back of the Breaking Waves.

Noki is currently feeding Tiger Girl with fresh meat and water.

Johnny Joseph was also watching Tiger Girl eat with curiosity.

Nami then pointed to the pirate ship and said:

"What should we do with this ship? If we get it and sell it secondhand through Kabaka, we can probably get it for around ten million Berries."

At this point, she looked at Thoth expectantly and said, "Since it's nearby, why don't we go there on our way?"

Thoth thought for a moment and nodded, since it wouldn't take up much time anyway.

So, half an hour later, when they arrived at Kabaka Port, Nami used all her bargaining skills, or perhaps because Thoth and his crew had defeated the Jewel Pirates, the pirate ship was sold for a whopping 1150 million.

In high spirits, the group immediately left Kabaka Town and headed to the 16th Marine Branch.

Second floor measurement room.

Thoth and Nami arrived here and began to examine the nautical log belonging to the Jewel Pirates.

As I turned the pages, the papers in my hands made a soft rustling sound.

"On January 2nd, the looting operation in Xianghela Town was a great success, with 86 people executed, 13 million Berries seized, and a quantity of supplies."

"On January 25th, they were preparing to plunder a village called Xiluobu, which was said to be home to wealthy people, but they were discovered by the 156th Marine Division and had to make a strategic retreat."

On March 15th, we encountered a freckled-faced boy at sea who claimed to be a pirate. He was too strong, so we had to treat him to a week of hospitality. After he left, we decided to stay away from this area.

I flipped through the pages of a captain's diary, which was mostly autobiographies of plundering.

"Thoth, look what I found. It turns out they captured Bailey on a deserted island in the Storm Sea."

Hearing Nami's surprise, Thoth noticed she was holding a nautical logbook, with what appeared to be some writing on the back. He, too, was surprised at that moment.

"The Stormy Sea? That deadly sea that's said to devour people without spitting out the bones?"

However, Toth was speechless immediately afterward:

"That's Tiger Girl, not Bailey."

Nami stuck out her tongue: "I don't care about you, Bailey is its nickname."

"Alright, let's get back to the Storm Sea."

Nami's expression turned serious: "It's a neighboring country to the north of the Goa Kingdom, within the territory of the Flaus Kingdom. There's a sea area there where storms rage year-round, and the ocean currents are chaotic."

It is the infamous deadly sea area of ​​the East China Sea, an extremely dangerous region on par with the supposedly even more chaotic Ant Nest Hell.

However, I never expected that there would be an uninhabited island in the eye of the storm, the deepest part of the Storm Sea.

The logbook records that when they were being pursued by the navy, they accidentally stumbled into that place and almost all of them died.

The deserted island was inhabited by all sorts of strange and ferocious beasts, and they found the severely injured tigress and Bailey not far from the shore.

The tigress was extremely ferocious; even though she was severely wounded, she still managed to kill many of them. However, the tigress, who was quite badly injured, was eventually killed by them at a great cost.

Stranded in the stormy sea, they were in despair. They were about to kill Bailey, the tiger cub, to vent their anger, but then their luck turned.

Their navigator unexpectedly discovered that those few days were actually a period of low ocean currents in the Storm Sea, and seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they ventured out.

At this point, Nami waved the nautical logbook in her hand, looked at Thoth and winked: "Thoth, do you want to go see that island in the eye of the storm?"

Thoth raised an eyebrow: "The ocean currents there aren't in a lull; you dare go?"

Nami smiled slightly. "This logbook records the course and route, as well as a map showing the distribution of ocean currents."

I can tell it's real, and I'm confident I can get you in and out safely.

No matter what kind of ocean current it is, it has its own underlying logic and rules, and I can discern these rules.

Even without this log, I'm confident I could get there alone.

"Look at you, so capable."

Thoth chuckled and ruffled her hair, then, with a sigh of exasperation, chuckled again:

"After a while, let's go there again. The deserted island in the eye of the storm in the Storm Sea, a place where a strange creature like Tiger Girl could be born, must be very interesting."

Nami immediately smiled and nodded, patting her chest to assure everyone that she was absolutely fine.

The two then continued to examine the interesting nautical logbooks they had on hand.

053. Nami's Recommendation!

Time flies.

6:30 p.m.

The Wavebreaker arrived at Alfa Island, the westernmost island in the Konomiya Islands.

This is a mountainous island with a small town by the sea. At the same time, the 16th Branch of the East China Sea Navy is located on the rocky hill to the right of this town.

Built against the mountain.

The 16th branch military port, where the Polang ship is steadily docked.

Meanwhile, the rat was already waiting for Thoth at the port, because Thoth had contacted him in advance via Den Den Mushi before he arrived.

Upon seeing Thoth, the mouse beamed and, accompanied by his adjutant carrying a briefcase, came forward to greet him.

"Congratulations on your fortune! It seems the Toth brothers have made quite a bit of money this time!"

Upon hearing this, Thoth, not wanting to offend someone who was smiling, nodded with a smile, but also got straight to the point and stated his requirements:

"The total bounty for this mission is 1580 million Berries. I only want 1000 million, and the rest is yours. But I need real-time intelligence on pirates appearing in the waters near the Cornish Islands over the next month. How about it?"

Upon hearing this, the mouse's smile deepened. It wasn't in vain that he had come out to greet him, showing respect. He reached out and grabbed Thoth's arm, beaming:

"Come on! Let's go inside the base for a cup of tea, and I'll have my men gather intelligence for you right away."

Seeing this, Thoth smiled and nodded, subtly freeing himself from his grasp, and turned to greet Nami and the others:

"Nami, you can dock the ship at the town on the left. If you're interested, you can explore the town freely."

Upon seeing this, Nami immediately understood that Thoth had something to discuss with the greedy rat.

He nodded immediately.

Johnny and his men brought the pirate corpses aboard and handed them over before returning to the ship.

Watching the ship depart, Thoth followed the rat into the base.

Along the way, the mouse enthusiastically and boastfully introduced the layout of its base.
