One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

When Thoth arrived, he saw the old man Cassie on the ship being defeated by a stranger named Lias.

Looking up, I saw Norton with a faint smile on his lips behind the ship's railing, and the several officers standing beside him.

However, at this moment, Thoth raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at a strong and wiry young man standing next to Hisoka.

Firstly, his face was unfamiliar, and secondly, the aura emanating from him gave him a subtle sense of danger. "Who is this person? Why would such a powerful individual take a liking to Norton?"

I couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Looking around, Thoth noticed a large number of unfamiliar faces mixed among the old people who had been on the original boat. They had a strange aura about them, and from their posture and demeanor, there was a feeling that Thoth couldn't quite put his finger on.

They completely lacked the lazy air that the original pirates on the ship had; they were more like guards from some other place.

Having made some progress in his swordsmanship, Thoth discovered by the end of the day that his senses had become sharper, and he had subtly gained an instinctive ability to perceive auras.

A large amount of unfamiliar energy surged forth, and at this moment, there seemed to be a faint sense of impending storm in the surrounding air.

A sense of unease arose in my heart.

This unease stems from the unknown of what might happen here at this moment.

The unknown represents uncertainty.

Thoth's eyes flickered slightly, deciding to wait and see how things develop.

Let's play it safe for now.

The situation is still unclear, and rash actions may carry unknown risks. There is no need to do something foolish that could make you a target of public criticism as soon as you arrive.

After all, there are still nearly two hundred people here!

Before you have the strength to sweep everything aside, it's not shameful to play it safe.

After thinking it through, Thoth narrowed his eyes and began to carefully examine the unfamiliar people who had appeared on the ship.

One after another, figures silently swept their gazes over.

He saw the satisfaction and ambition in Norton's eyes, but he acted as if he knew nothing.

I saw a hint of ruthlessness and excitement flickering in the first mate's eyes.

The arrogance that appeared in the eyes of those around him, and the mocking laughter in the eyes of the remaining cadres as they watched the new round of competition begin.

As people looked around, a slender figure with orange hair suddenly caught their eye.

He was dressed in loose, coarse cloth clothing, with a slightly dark complexion, resembling a man, but his orange eyes were lively and held a hint of cunning.

Thoth's eyes widened slightly as he couldn't help but scrutinize the man who had haunted his dreams and wanted to break his legs. He also had orange hair, but then, as if sensing something, the orange-haired man's eyes met Thoth's.

Immediately afterwards, Thoth noticed the sudden panic in the other person's eyes.

Guilty?

A sinister smile crept across his lips: "Gotcha, you little bastard!"

The orange-haired woman nicknamed "Little Cat Thief"—a thief—in the East Blue, Thoth couldn't help but think of someone.

Could it really be her?

Thoth stared intently at him as he stood in a corner of the ship, noticing the growing tension in his eyes.

They immediately set off, passing through the pirates, boarding the platform, and chasing after him.

Seeing Thoth leave, Nami's heart skipped a beat. She cursed inwardly, "What's that ruthless guy doing here? Is he here to join the Norton Pirates too?"

Looking around, seeing that everyone's attention was drawn to the fight below, he suddenly clutched his lower abdomen, pretending to have a stomachache, and quickly got up and walked briskly into the cabin.

All she can do now is use the intricate layout of the cabin to evade Thoth's pursuit.

"?Who are you?"

Just as Thoth stepped onto the deck, someone called out to him. He frowned and cursed in annoyance:

"Are you blind? I am Tote."

The pirate was stunned by the insult, but when he heard that familiar tone and took a closer look, his mouth dropped open:

"Thoth?"

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to look somewhat respectable after cleaning yourself up."

Thoth's face darkened, and he gripped the hilt of his sword. The latter quickly stepped back, giving an awkward smile.

"Just kidding, just kidding. By the way, where have you been these past two days?"

Thoth ignored him and turned to run towards the cabin. Seeing that Thoth was ignoring him, the pirate watched Thoth's retreating figure and couldn't help but sneer, then muttered curses.

"What's the use of being good-looking? You'll be in trouble sooner or later."

Following that figure, as soon as he entered the cabin, Thoth's eyes narrowed slightly. The cabin was dimly lit, and his vision was momentarily obstructed as he entered from the brighter area.

However, they saw that figure go down to the lower deck.

Thoth took three steps at a time, using his familiarity with the area to his advantage, and rushed toward the stairs leading to the lower level.

Basement level, in the corridor.

A soft click came from not far away. Thoth rushed over, opened the closed door, and then looked at a small, still-shaking door on the right side of the room.

On a pirate ship, the premium cabins on the deck belong to the captain and his officers.

In the ordinary cabins located below deck, each cabin has a small door connecting to the next one, but some of these doors are locked.

Thoth chased after him, passing through three doors in a row, when suddenly, he stopped in front of the fourth closed door.

It was only because the light but distinct footsteps suddenly disappeared.

In the dimly lit cabin, looking at the closed door in front of him, a slightly rapid heartbeat could be heard clearly in the silence.

Thoth's gaze was calm. An ambush, a sneak attack?

He was about to kick the door when his eyes flickered, and he put his leg down again. He was afraid that making a loud noise might attract the attention of people on the ship's deck.

He reached out and pushed the door open, his right foot suddenly sticking out, then quickly pulling it back in.

But just then, from the right side of the door, a stick came crashing down with a whooshing sound.

Then, with a loud crack, the stick slammed heavily onto the floor.

Thoth extended his right foot and quickly stepped on it, causing the wooden stick to fall to the ground instantly, along with the orange-haired figure behind him who was tightly gripping the stick.

The wooden stick slammed onto the floor with a loud crack.

“Got you.” Thoth sneered, grabbing his neck and pulling him close, then slamming him to the ground. His left knee pressed against his chest, and a different physical sensation arose. Thoth frowned slightly.

"It really is a woman?"

"Waaah, let me go!" Under the immense pressure, Nami's face flushed red, and her sternum throbbed with pain beneath the bodice.

"I'm warning you, I'm a member of the Norton Pirates, so let me go right now!"

Because of the excruciating pain, his feigned hoarse tone became distorted and sharp.

Thoth snorted coldly, trying to trick her:

"Do you know that I am Captain Norton's confidant? Do you think he would get angry at me for a petty thief who stole my money?"

Nami stopped struggling, and a hint of fear finally appeared in her eyes. Thoth looked at her with a half-smile, and suddenly took out a crystal hard candy from his pocket and stuffed it into her mouth as she slightly opened it.

And then his fingers went deep into her throat, and in her discomfort, she instinctively opened her mouth wide and swallowed.

At this moment, Thoth released her, and Nami quickly got up and knelt on the ground, reaching out to press her throat to induce vomiting, but Thoth grabbed her wrist.

"What do you want to do? Do you think I'd let you spit that out?"

"What exactly did you feed me?"

Nami's eyes showed extreme panic.

Thoth gave a cold laugh:

"Without my antidote, you will surely die a miserable death with your intestines ruptured and blood flowing from all seven orifices within half a day after the 'Stretch Leg and Stare Eye Pill'."

013. Coercion and enticement!

"..."

After a long moment of stunned silence, Nami's legs gave way and she sat down on the floor. Thoth stood upright, arms crossed, looking down at her.

"what is it call?"

"Nami... Nami."

Since this guy could call her by her nickname "Little Cat Thief," Nami felt there was no need to lie anymore, after all, her name wasn't something shameful to say.

Moreover, given her current situation, she felt it was better to be honest.

"gender?"

"Woman...woman."

Nami looked up abruptly, glaring at Thoth like a bristling, baring-toothed kitten.

"Are you asking a question you already know the answer to?"

"How big is it?"

“C... no, almost 15 years old.”

Having already revealed her true colors, Nami decided to stop pretending and, in a shrill voice, said, "What exactly do you want? I accept that I've been defeated by you."

Yes, it was my fault, I stole your wallet, but I don't want to die.

And you seem to have something for me to do. Tell me, what will it take for you to let me go?

I can return your wallet to you.

After the initial panic and fear, Nami had come to her senses. If he really wanted to kill her, given the ruthlessness of the guy in front of her, he would have already stabbed her through with a sword.

If she really couldn't survive, it wouldn't be unacceptable, but it would be a waste of Bellemere's sacrifice of her own life.

“Wallet?” Tot uttered the word, his gaze immediately turning hostile.

Nami felt the air pressure drop and her skin inexplicably felt cold as she listened to the resentment in Thoth's voice.

He couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly.
