One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

Author: Yi Da Kou

Summary:

Heroes! Tyrants! Scoundrels! Civilians! Navy! Pirates! Order! Chaos!

In this turbulent era of pirates, where human life is cheap and countless ships vie for supremacy, everyone has their own choices, whether voluntary or involuntary.

Those who pursue justice? Those who yearn for freedom? Those who plunder others? And then there are the many more who simply strive to live?

A person has many choices in life, right and wrong, life and death, but in the eyes of Thoth who came into this world, there is only one choice, and that is to fucking become stronger!

Only with strength can you have more choices!

……

But how does one acquire strength? Thinking of this, Tuo Te opened his system panel and looked at the talent he possessed:

Talent: [Learning and Accomplishing]

Benefit 1: Guaranteed minimum return during the learning process.

Effect 2: [Significantly improved focus during learning.]

Effect 3: [Once learned, it will never be forgotten.]

Heaven rewards diligence; one certificate is proof forever!

001. Miscellaneous fish!

1536 of the Haiyuan Calendar, East China Sea.

The peaceful and tranquil seaside town was shattered after a round of artillery fire, and filled with wailing and chaos.

Amidst panicked and terrified shouts, figures rushed out from every house and courtyard.

Like a flock of frightened sheep.

As they ran, they glanced back at the multi-masted sailboat moored at the dock, its mast topped with a black skull and crossbones flag fluttering in the wind, taking advantage of the twilight.

Wisps of gunpowder smoke still lingered at the cannon holes on the ship. Wide, dark brown footboards were lowered from the ship, and a few impatient pirates jumped off the ship in a frenzy, laughing wildly.

Amidst the flying dust,

Groups of excited pirates howled like wolves as they charged toward the town with their weapons.

A quick glance revealed a massive horde of pirates, numbering no less than a hundred. This caused the few remaining brave men in the town to abandon any thought of resistance and turn to flee.

Among the pirates, a boy being dragged along had an indifferent expression but a wary look in his eyes, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the several people who were subtly surrounding him.

A few breaths later, the pirates at the front had caught up with the people in the town. They grinned maliciously and started hacking wildly with their blades, blood splattering everywhere.

Amidst the mournful cries, the boy, who was already at the very end of the crowd, stopped.

But as soon as he stopped, a pirate from his side and behind shoved him forward, followed by a cold snort:

“Listen up, Tot, don’t think that just because the first mate has a crush on you you can look down on us. Remember, I’m the captain of the Sixth Squad.”

The speaker was a young man with a sallow complexion standing next to the boy. He glared fiercely at the boy, his eyes now filled with undisguised jealousy.

Meanwhile, the pirates who had stormed into the town had scattered, and screams and curses echoed all around. The young pirate sneered at the boy and pointed to an alleyway deep within the town:

"Let's go, our team will go over there."

The boy named Tote had his eyelids lowered, his left hand gripping the hilt of the sword hanging at his waist. He didn't say a word and ran towards the distant location as if he were being obedient.

The sallow-faced youth looked at Tote's retreating figure, a smile unconsciously curving his lips, his eyes flashing with murderous intent and mockery.

So what if she's good-looking? The first mate, who's into men, has taken a liking to her. He actually thinks she's something special. Not only does he ignore my attempts to cause trouble, but he even dares to insult me.

As long as we kill him in the town, we can find a few decent men for the first mate here, and he won't bother to investigate whether there are any problems involved.

He immediately gave a look to his four henchmen, who all sneered.

Feeling the smoke and blood lingering in the breeze around him, Tote suppressed the unease rising in his heart.

Although I've mostly gotten used to it, experiencing it again still makes me feel nauseous.

Hearing the footsteps and breathing following closely behind, Thoth took a deep breath, his eyes turning completely cold.

The running pace never stops.

"panel."

Silently recite the awakening phrase in your mind.

A faint blue ripple, visible only to himself, coalesced into a light screen panel, appearing before Thoth. This was the "Character Growth Assist System," which had appeared half a month prior, following Thoth's awakening of his innate wisdom.

……

Talent: [Learning and Accomplishing]

Benefit 1: Guaranteed minimum return during the learning process.

Effect 2: [Significantly improved focus during learning.]

Effect 3: [Once learned, it will never be forgotten.]

Looking at the system panel in front of him, which was a semi-transparent, dark blue color, a slightly complicated expression still welled up in Tote's eyes.

Although Thoth is a native of this world in this life, he grew up in a modern, developed country without war in his previous life.

In his previous life, Tot was a game developer and programmer who died suddenly from overwork while editing the character upgrade system for a new game.

Thus, he was reborn into this world.

In her previous life, she was an orphan, but she never expected that she would be the same in this life. Her parents were ordinary people, but they couldn't withstand the pressure of high taxes and eventually passed away.

Thoth became an orphan at the age of thirteen. After losing his parents and being unable to produce offspring, his family's house was seized by the tax officials.

From then on, he hung out with the thugs at the town's port.

A month ago, the Norton Pirates arrived in the town. Because the town had its own guard, they did not plunder, but only replenished their supplies.

As for manpower, although he was only 16 years old, Tote was 1.9 meters tall and had a physique stronger than the average person, so he was selected by the first mate and his team at the time.

Because I didn't want to live that kind of life like a stray dog ​​anymore.

Thoth became an apprentice pirate sailor, but because he refused to cooperate with the first mate in doing *that* kind of thing, he was reassigned to the lowest-level tasks, such as cleaning.

Half a month ago, during a raid on a village, he hesitated to kill civilians, but unexpectedly, his hesitation led to him being slashed. Although he retaliated with a sword, he was injured as a result.

He had a high fever and was almost thrown into the sea to be eaten by fish on the pirate ship.

Because of illness, it is always a taboo subject on a pirate ship.

It was the first mate who spoke up and kept him on.

Thoth knew he had ill intentions.

During that fever, Thoth awakened his past life memories, and for some reason, the system panel he had programmed in his past life also awakened along with him.

However, after his memories were awakened, or perhaps due to the extraordinary spiritual power he gained from his two lifetimes, his high fever subsided after two days.

With the resurgence of his past life memories, Thoth has also figured out what kind of world he has come to in the past two weeks.

This is a dangerous yet magnificent world found in fantasy works set in the past.

A fantastical adventure world called "One Piece".

The timeline of the world Thoth lived in was the turbulent era of the Great Pirate Era, a time when human life was cheap and countless ships vied for supremacy.

Looking at the talent section in the system panel, Thoth felt helpless. This "learned and accomplished" talent was something he had created for the human race to test data.

Why wasn't that kind of bug-level talent given to the editors back then?

Over the past two weeks, whenever Tote saw this, he would always think the same thing.

But it is precisely because of this talent that those three practical skills appear in the Tot skill list.

The "minimum guarantee" provided by the talent effect means that even if Thoth hasn't fully mastered the skills, he's still better than those low-level pirates who know nothing.

For example, the five guys chasing him closely behind him. Thoth's [Spirit] attribute far exceeds that of ordinary people, which gives him a fairly keen mental sense. In addition, having seen blood, he can naturally sense what killing intent is.

These past few days, the sallow-faced youth on the ship has been instructing his four henchmen to cause him a lot of trouble.

The "Unarmed Combat" skill in the panel is displayed precisely because of this.

Fortunately, killing each other is not allowed on pirate ships.

But Toth knew very well that now that the opportunity had presented itself, the other party certainly had no intention of making peace with him.

The buildings on both sides of the street flashed by in his peripheral vision, and soon he was close to the alley. Thoth looked around and saw that there were almost no pirates coming this way. He glanced back at them, who were a few steps behind him, and then suddenly pushed off with his legs, turned around and ran into the alley.

"Damn it! Chase after them!"

"Damn it, he can run so fast, we absolutely can't let him get away."

"Captain Kanis, what do we do? He's too fast."

Upon hearing this, Kanis, with his sallow complexion, darkened further and cursed through gritted teeth:
