One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

"It's a feedback mechanism after skill level upgrades! I remember in the underlying logic of that game, after a skill breaks through to a certain level, it will receive some basic attribute feedback."

Furthermore, upon achieving higher levels of skill breakthroughs, unique skill characteristics will manifest from one's past experiences.

Shaking his head, no longer thinking about the future, Thoth looked at the wolf corpses here, gripped his sword and stepped forward. As he walked, power flowed from his muscles and bones, and was unleashed along with the blade.

The wolf carcasses scattered on the ground quickly turned into pieces of flesh, and the stench of blood in the surrounding area became increasingly pungent.

After finishing, Thoth went to the nearby stream and immersed his hands in the crystal-clear water. Blood seeped out of the water and flowed downstream.

After washing it clean, he went to a tree, picked up the meat pie that was sealed in oil paper, swatted off the ants crawling on it, tore open the paper, and began to eat it heartily.

Replenish physical strength.

Time passed second by second. Half an hour later, a leopard came running from the distant forest. The wary leopard picked up a piece of bloody flesh and bone, but when it saw Tote suddenly rush out, it turned and ran away as fast as the wind.

It darted into the forest and disappeared.

Thoth looked gloomy. About ten minutes later, another pack of wolves came running from another part of the forest, this time only about fifteen.

With a glimmer of light in his eyes, Totti charged forward, feigning weakness to leave behind eleven wolves while the rest fled in disarray.

He kept the fattest wolf, chopped up the rest, and threw them away. Thoth went to the stream and skillfully processed the wolf carcasses, cutting off their heads and tails, gutting them, and cleaning them thoroughly.

Build a one-meter-high fire pit with the surrounding stones, cut dry branches from the surrounding trees, and ignite the dry bark with a lighter.

Soon, the firewood in the hearth roared to life.

A sharpened pine branch pierced through the wolf and placed it on the edge of the fire to roast.

Tote's eyes were filled with anticipation; this kind of barbecue was something he used to do often in his old town.

To avoid going hungry, he often went hunting on the outskirts of the mountains, which is why Tote had a stronger body than other people his age.

That's why he was noticed and recruited by the Norton Pirates a little over a month ago.

Just then, Thoth, who was waiting for his prey to come to him, suddenly noticed that the leopard was sneaking over here again. This time, it was keeping an eye on Thoth while picking up a piece of meat, ready to run away at any moment.

However, this time Thoth did not get up to chase it. Seeing that Thoth was not chasing it, the beast simply lay down on the ground and openly began to tear and devour it.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Thoth seemed to ignore it, lowering his head and focusing on turning the roasting meat on the fire pit.

Twenty minutes later, Tot glanced at the leopard's belly as it gradually swelled up, a playful glint in his eyes. The next second, he suddenly stood up and charged at it.

The leopard, already addicted to the food, reacted a few beats slower. It wasn't until Thoth was within thirty meters that it hurriedly got up, hissing a warning. But when it saw Thoth approaching with a sword, it immediately turned and ran.

However, having already eaten its fill, its belly swelled up and down as it ran, and within five minutes, it experienced stomach cramps, which greatly reduced its speed. A few breaths later, it was caught up by Tote.

It turned to fight back, but Thoth dodged and slashed it open from the side with a sword. It fell to the ground howling as its neck was cleanly pierced by the sword.

010. Black gloves!

There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Thoth stepped on its head, his expression indifferent:

"But at least you died with a full stomach, you should thank me. Don't be so greedy in your next life."

Holding the soft tail, he returned to the "slaughterhouse." But as soon as he arrived, Tot's eyes narrowed slightly. In the open space, a brown bear over three meters long appeared.

He devoured the free takeout food on the ground with his mouth full of blood.

Another glutton.

With a slight twitch of its short ears, the brown bear turned its head sharply, noticing Thoth, the uninvited guest.

Instantly, the massive figure stood upright, its bear-like eyes gleaming with ferocity, its mouth wide open, revealing its canine teeth.

Roar! ! !

The air seemed to faintly resonate with a sonic boom before its mouth, and thick, bloody saliva splattered out with each roar.

Thoth raised an eyebrow. If his swordsmanship hadn't improved, he might have made a strategic retreat.

But now, he doesn't eat beef.

With steady steps, my breathing becomes even and rhythmic, and I walk towards it step by step.

When the brown bear saw that Thoth still dared to walk towards it, it saw this as a provocation and roared once more, slamming its front paws heavily onto the ground, sending dust flying.

Immediately afterwards, amidst a heavy thud, it charged forward like a heavily armored tank.

The distance between the man and the beast grew closer and closer. In just a few breaths, the distance of over a hundred meters disappeared. At this moment, they were right in front of each other. A bear paw rose up, and a sharp claw like a small knife lashed out.

Thoth could even smell the foul odor emanating from its mouth.

His pupils contracted slightly, and he stopped abruptly. Just as the thick forepaw was about to hurtle with a whooshing sound, he bent his knees slightly and then dodged backward in an instant.

With a loud thud, the bear's claws landed heavily on the spot where Thoth had just stood. Amidst the rising dust, Thoth bent his knees again, but this time he charged forward.

With a leap, I stepped onto its landing front paw. The brown bear sensed something was wrong, roared, and suddenly raised its paw.

At that moment, using the force of its raised paw, Thoth used his waist to leap upside down into the air.

Upon seeing Thoth take flight, the brown bear, skilled in fishing, suddenly raised its head and opened its mouth, waiting for Thoth to fall. However, at that moment, Thoth, upside down, seized the opening and slashed out with his sword in an instant, *thud*!

With a single stroke, a bloody gash cut across the brown bear's nose, instantly slicing open its cunning and excited eyes.

A sharp pain struck, and everything went black.

The brown bear's shrill howl echoed through the forest. It no longer cared about Thoth, while Thoth used the force of the sword strike to flip in the air and land on the brown bear's shoulders and back.

In that instant, he gripped the sword hilt with both hands, condensing all his strength, and then a flash of cold light passed by the brown bear's neck.

Pfft!

A mouthful of blood was drawn out from the back of its neck by the sword blade, and a deep cut appeared in an instant.

Before the brown bear could struggle for its life, Thoth jumped off its shoulder.

It traced an arc and landed smoothly on the ground, watching the brown bear howl and roll around on the ground frantically before finally lying down and not moving.

Looking at the brown bear, Tote's lips unconsciously curved into a slight smile. If this big guy had been here a month ago, he wouldn't have been able to take it down without fighting hard and sustaining some injuries.

But now,

In a flash, the two swords easily finished the task.

"Mastering power! It's truly irresistible!"

"Life is full of choices, but only the power that I have painstakingly mastered will not let me down."

He stepped forward and unleashed four powerful sword strikes.

The four bear paws broke off at the joints.

Simultaneously,

Thoth began processing the bear skin.

Bear skin offers far superior protection compared to deer hide; while improving one's own abilities, safety must also be prioritized.

The four bear paws were skinned, cleaned, skewered on wooden sticks, and roasted over a fire.

Turning over the charred wolf meat, Thoth began processing the bear hide into simple armor.

Time flew by, and it was noon. During this time, Tot dealt with another pack of wolves that had come attracted by the smell of blood, and his swordsmanship proficiency increased by 12.

At noon, we ate roasted wolf meat sprinkled with a little salt that we had brought out that morning, and then we continued to slowly roast bear paws over charcoal.

During the midday break, the mournful cries of vultures came from the open space not far away, irritating Thoth. After the Hundred-Step Flying Sword pierced and killed one, the cries subsided.

Under the power of time, several more groups of ferocious beasts came after being attracted by the smell of blood, but they were all ambushed and dealt with by Toth. In particular, a five-meter-long tiger came later, and it took Toth a lot of effort to wear it down to death.

Its massive size brings abundant vitality, especially the several tons of force this tiger possesses as it moves, and with a flick of its tail, it can easily shatter rocks.

But since the tiger was dealt with, no wild animals have come to this hunting ground.

The beasts seemed to know that there was a sixth man here using food to lure them in.

For the past two hours, no wild beasts have come.

Under the night.

The forest was both quiet and noisy, with corpses of all sizes lying everywhere, like a slaughterhouse. The air pressure seemed to be low all around, and the only sound was the cooing of a dozen or so vultures feeding there.

Their voices were not loud, but they carried an eerie aura, and because of their noise, they had long since blended into the rotting flesh on the ground.

And these are the successors, countless generations later.

Perhaps it was because the birds in front of them had told them that eating was fine, but they shouldn't make noise.

The strong smell of blood lingered in the air, and the wind couldn't dispel it. After resting for two hours, I was "recovering" and my energy was back to normal.

Close the light curtain panel.

The turmoil in his eyes gradually subsided.

After finishing a crispy bear paw with a tender interior, Tote let out a satisfied burp, got up to stretch, and looked out into the deeper mountains and forests in the distance.

"It's time to go hunting deeper."

"It's not good to stay here any longer."

Carrying his sword, Thoth's figure disappeared from the spot in no time.

In the quiet mountain forest, under the bright moonlight, a fishy smell wafted in the air, and humming sounds came from not far away.

Following the sound, Tote found several plump wild boars in a patch of grass. He adjusted his breathing and, as he approached, suddenly charged out.

Meanwhile, in the port town of Linhai, in a luxurious restaurant on the top floor of a private room, Tote was slaughtering pigs and hunting wild animals.

Norton and the first mate appeared here, and sitting in the chair opposite them was a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair wearing a purple suit and overcoat.

He is Morgan William, the head of the Morgan family, the largest gang in town.
