One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

Seeing this, Thoth looked at the last wolf in the arena, whimpering on the ground as it crawled away into the distance.

He walked over, casually swung his sword, and the wolf's head flew out, a warm current flowing from his body.

At this time.

Swordsmanship (Slightly Proficient 0→1/500)

Thoth's eyes flickered slightly. "Can this kind of ordinary beast, at this level, still provide me with proficiency?"

An unexpected delight.

Immediately, Tote turned his head to look at a blue stone about the size of a human head, five meters away.

Approaching the sword, he took a deep breath, channeled his inner power, and suddenly drew his sword, slashing out with concentrated power that flowed through the blade, producing a clear and crisp "whoosh!"

Thoth sheathed his sword and raised it, rubbing the blade with his fingertips. The new wear marks were not obvious and were not caused by this sword strike.

Turn around and leave.

A few breaths later, a gentle breeze blew by, and the blue stone split in two with a snap, the cut smooth and even.

"Since it can already cut through rock, then this sword strike shall be called the Rock-Slicing Sword."

Thoth continued his search for the beast, but his longsword was already sheathed, and he was exercising his nimble fingers.

The current stage of swordsmanship goals has been achieved, but reaching a certain level of proficiency in swordsmanship is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two.

A moment later, a two-meter-long bristly wild boar was found in a patch of grass.

Thoth rushed forward, dodging the boar's charge, and punched it in the back of the neck with all his might. With a squeal, he turned and kicked the boar to the ground.

After three minutes of relentless punches and kicks, a warm current surged through his body.

Thoth spared the pig lying on the ground grunting and did not kill it, as long as he himself had grown.

Achieving the current goal of swordsmanship eased Thoth's sense of urgency slightly.

With his current strength, capable of cutting through rocks, he has virtually no rivals in the East Blue, except for Arlong's crew stationed in Cocoyasi and Smoker in Loguetown.

Take his current Captain Norton, for example. Thoth is confident that he is no less capable than him now.

Of course, this is on the premise that you are not surrounded and beaten by a group of musketeers.

……

Time passed,

The next morning.

In the tranquil depths of the forest, Thoth rode on the back of a three-meter-long tiger.

The tiger had several large bumps on its head and was being held by the scruff of its neck, lying motionless on the ground. It was a tigress.

After being relentlessly and seriously punched by Tot, he finally chose to submit.

At that moment, after the intense battle, a warm current arose from within his body.

A familiar system prompt appeared.

[Note: Your unarmed combat skill "Beginner 100/100" proficiency has reached the maximum value. The unarmed combat skill will automatically advance.]

[Hint: Your unarmed combat skill has improved from "Beginner" to "Proficient"! Gain +1 to your Constitution attribute!]

[Hint: Your unarmed combat skill "Practice Makes Perfect" is 0/200. The next level is "Slight Achievement".]

Instantly, Thoth's body trembled slightly, his physical strength was enhanced once again, his bone density increased, and his physical resilience improved.

Body: 10.1→11.1

As his body underwent a physical transformation, various exquisite fighting memories surfaced in Thoth's mind, focusing on how to exert force to maximize destructive power.

The body's sensory system becomes increasingly acute, gradually forming a kind of physical instinct for combat techniques.

Thoth opened his eyes, a variety of insights into battle swirling in his mind.

Swordsmanship and martial arts are not mutually exclusive; both have their strengths that can be learned from and adopted by each other.

"Given your level of swordsmanship, if you were to focus your training on unarmed combat techniques, you should be able to save a lot of energy."

With a slight smile, Thoth glanced at the tigress beneath him and slapped her on the back of the head. "Go! Send me out of the mountains, and you'll be free."

The tigress let out a low growl, her voice tinged with grievance, but forced by someone's tyranny, she had no choice but to obediently comply.

Like a gust of wind, with a steady back, I ran towards the edge of the deep forest.

Thoth squeezed his legs together around his waist, leaned forward slightly, and enjoyed the feeling of being blown away by the wind.

Half an hour later, the surrounding trees were no longer tall, and in the distance, a bustling port town sat on the coast.

The tigress stopped, her tongue lolling out, panting heavily like a dog.

Thoth rolled off, reached out and rubbed the tiger's head, stroking its glossy, smooth, tattooed face, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"Get lost, since you're honest!"

The tigress looked up and whimpered, then crouched down and slowly backed away. After five meters, she suddenly turned around and ran away.

The thick, long tiger tail swung powerfully in all four directions behind it to adjust its balance.

Toth watched it return to the mountain, then turned and walked toward the port town.

……

In the town of Gang.

Thoth bought a suitable outfit at a clothing store, even though his own clothes were already soaked in blood and reeked of blood.

"It's 10 a.m. now, enough time for me to find a place to get some rest."

After dinner, they checked into a hotel, took a hot shower, and then Thoth lay down on the bed and rested with his eyes half-closed.

at the same time,

port.

On the open ground of the harbor in front of Norton's pirate ship, a group of pirates of all kinds are currently holding a banquet.

If Toth were here, he would surely be able to see that there are at least half as many people here as before.

Norton stood by the fence, looking down at his newly recruited subordinates, a satisfied smile slowly spreading across his lips.

"With my reputation, I can go anywhere in the vast East China Sea."

Gangsters? The Morgan family? Ha! Just a bunch of land-dwelling cowards.

012. A chance encounter!

Pirate ship, second floor cabin.

In a clean and tidy room, the first mate sat on a small single sofa, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at the burly young man in a vest sitting on the opposite sofa:

"It's still as noisy outside as ever. Only that madman Norton likes this kind of castle in the air."

"Just a bunch of lazy bums with no planning whatsoever."

Darwin crossed his legs, a cigarette dangling from his mouth as he puffed out smoke.

"Captain Hisoka, are you ready on your end?"

First Mate Hisoka stroked his chin and looked at Darwin, who claimed to be Morgan's son:

"I believe my abilities are in no way inferior to Norton's, but the second and third officers and the navigator on the ship are all his men."

Are you sure you want to be my first mate after I take out Norton?

“Of course,” Darwin laughed. “My strength has reached a bottleneck, and I need to go out to sea to adventure and fight.”

Besides, with us working together, you can feel at ease knowing I'm on your ship, right?

After all, with me, Morgan's eldest son, by your side, you don't need to worry that my father will betray you, right?"

"Haha! Cheers!"

Hisoka raised his glass, a cruel smile playing on his lips:

"A toast to our future!"

Darwin sat up straight, smiling as he raised his glass:

"A toast to our friendship."

……

At 3:30 p.m. sharp, there was a knock on the hotel room door. Thoth, who was not in a deep sleep, opened his eyes and answered the door:

"Thank you, I'm awake now."

"Then I won't bother you any longer, I'll be going now."

Three hundred Berries, hire the hotel receptionist to wake him up at this time.

Rubbing his temples, Tote got up, put on a shirt and black trousers.

I got out of bed, put on a pair of casual cloth shoes, went to the bathroom, and washed my face with clean water.

Instantly, he felt a surge of energy.

Looking in the mirror, the brown shirt was still unbuttoned, revealing well-defined eight-pack abs, a clear V-line, and smooth, natural muscle lines.

Tot scratched his face, buttoned up his shirt, turned and left the bathroom, picking up a black coat from the table and putting it on.

Soon, they arrived at the main street. After a quick bite to eat, Tote, with a clear goal in mind, headed towards the port.

I took a small crystal hard candy, about the size of my little finger, from my pocket, popped it into my mouth, and tasted the sweet and sour apple flavor.

Barbarian was still bustling with people and lively as they arrived at the port.

"Go! Lias, take him down!"

"Don't run away, Cassie!"

"Lias, good luck! If you win, you'll be the captain of the second team."

"I won! Hahaha, I won the bet! Pay up, pay up, you fucking bastards, don't even think about cheating!"

On the right side of the harbor below the pirate ship, in the middle of a group of pirates, there was a space with a diameter of fifteen meters. One of them was lying on the ground, spitting blood.
