One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

bass!

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the mast snapped with a crack as the sea breeze blew, and the smooth cut fell towards the hull.

Boom! A burst of sound, and wood chips flew everywhere.

A mainmast separated Thoth and his men from the deck.

At that moment, Thoth's calm words reached their ears:

"And now? I think I'm qualified to be the last straw that breaks the camel's back, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes twitched violently.

Hisoka, in particular, felt a chill run down his spine.

Just as they were about to speak, Thoth waved to stop them, his figure retreating towards the cabin entrance.

"Although I am not very strong, I am confident that I can bring one of you, the captain or the first mate, along on the journey."

Amidst their dark expressions, Thoth suddenly grinned and looked at Norton:

“Captain Norton, this is the last time I’ll call you that.”

To be honest, life on this ship has been very unpleasant, so I have decided to announce at this moment that I am leaving the Norton Pirates.

I will not interfere with your rebellion or suppression today, but I hope you will not disturb me when I leave.

Because my sword is still quite sharp.

As they spoke, Thoth led Nami to the cabin entrance. His gaze was calm as he raised his hand to signal them:

"Please do as you please. Just ignore me. Fight on the ship or down below, it's up to you."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

The arrival of Toth and the display of his powerful henchmen made him impossible for them to ignore.

"Sure. As long as you don't interfere, you can leave freely afterwards. I promise."

But before he could finish speaking, Norton grinned maliciously and roared, "Go!"

As soon as he shouted "Go!", he charged towards Hisoka.

Hisoka's eyes turned fierce, and without caring about Thoth, he immediately drew his sword and charged forward.

In the blink of an eye, roars rang out, and the battle was about to erupt, reaching a fever pitch.

Nami stared intently at Thoth's retreating figure, then glanced outside to make sure no one was watching before quietly slipping back inside.

Treasure, here I come!

Thoth's lips curled into a slight smile. Nami was indeed clever, with a knack for seizing opportunities.

It was worth it to have created this great opportunity with my quick wit.

Swords clashed fiercely, roars echoed, and Norton, wielding his sword, pressed down on Hisoka and hacked wildly.

The latter looked shocked, clearly not expecting Norton to have such a hidden trick up his sleeve.

A scream suddenly rang out, the battle situation changed, and Thoth's eyes widened suddenly.

Suddenly, the burly young man's body underwent a dramatic transformation and swelled, his shirt bursting through his explosively large muscles.

It has thick, short fur on its body, with jet-black fur on its face, chest, and limbs, but the fur on its head, back, and even the top of its tail is pure silver-white.

"A Zoan-type Devil Fruit user?"

015. "Long time no see?"

"Honey badger?"

Suddenly, he transformed and swiftly struck the second mate in the chest with a claw.

The latter screamed and flew backward, with five deep, fatal wounds on his chest that revealed the writhing of his internal organs.

He fell not far away, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and it was clear he wouldn't survive.

"Hahahaha, you stupid bumpkins, you must have never seen what a Devil Fruit user is, right?"

Darwin saw that the astonished gazes of everyone around him were drawn to him, and he was very satisfied. This could be considered his debut battle, and his urge to speak was immediately at its peak:

"Are you all shocked? Yes, you read that right. I ate the legendary Devil Fruit, the secret treasure of the ocean."

I ate the honey badger, a fearless Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

"Come, surrender or die!"

Hisoka's eyes flickered, Norton's eye twitched, and the third mate and navigator were even more incredulous that the second mate, who was even stronger than them, had been killed so easily.

The navigator's eyes flickered, then his gaze shifted, and he forced a fawning smile:

"Lord Darwin, I am a navigator. Do you think it's alright for me to abandon the darkness and embrace the light?"

Darwin smiled, exactly the effect he wanted, and nodded with a big laugh:

"Of course, the navigator is the most important and indispensable person on the ship."

The third officer, his eyes bulging with rage, shouted:

"Marba, what are you doing? Have you forgotten that we swore an oath to be loyal to the boss forever?"

Marba looked away in shame. Even so, he didn't want to die!

Besides, isn't pirate life full of betrayal? Having figured it out, he let out a cold laugh and spoke with righteous indignation:

"You fucking high and mighty? Then you can go die with that idiot Norton! I'm not going to join you."

I told him to tone it down a long time ago, but he wouldn't listen. Now look at him, he's alienated from everyone, hasn't he?"

"You scoundrel, trying to persuade me? When have you ever taken less than a single cent of the looted treasure?"

Norton's face turned ashen as he stared intently at Marba, demanding an answer. But then, Darwin turned and looked at Thoth with a half-smile:

"Kid, your name is Tote, right? I'm giving you a chance to rejoin us. You should think it over carefully."

The words carried a threat. Thoth rubbed his temples, feeling helpless. He glanced at Norton, whose gaze was unusually cold. Thoth took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"Mr. Norton, I don't think they'll let you leave here alive today. What are your thoughts?"

Norton's eyes flickered slightly. He had already resolved to die, but he also decided that even if he died, he would take one of the three of them with him.

But after hearing Thoth's words, he felt that perhaps things could still turn around:

"Want to join forces? You don't like being threatened, do you?"

Darwin interrupted sharply, giving Thoth a cold look:

"Kid, don't push your luck."

Thoth's eyes darted around, meeting the cold glint in his gaze, and he inwardly scoffed:

"I've killed quite a few beasts, but this is the first time I've killed a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user. I'm lucky this time, I can try my luck."

"Hisoka, make your move."

With a sharp shout, Darwin took the lead, slamming his feet onto the deck and leaping over the mast, charging toward Thoth.

With sharp teeth, razor-sharp claws, and a powerful body, Darwin charged forward.

Thoth's eyes narrowed; this was probably the strongest opponent he had ever encountered in this life.

With a burst of power from his feet, Tote took a step forward and slashed horizontally at him with his sword.

A cold light appeared in the air, Darwin's pupils contracted sharply, and he swung his right arm, bringing his five claws together to strike Thoth's sword.

clang!

The condensed attacks collided, producing a piercing metallic clang, and instantly, a savage force was transmitted back from the sword.

Thoth froze, his sword blade was deflected by brute force, and his body involuntarily leaned backward.

Darwin smirked. Although he also leaned back slightly, he used his waist and abdomen to brace himself against the deck, bending his legs slightly to gather strength, ready to launch another attack.

But then, with a loud thud, Tote suddenly kicked him squarely, his right foot landing hard on his chest and abdomen.

Interrupted by his buildup, Thoth took the opportunity to step back two steps and readjust his stance. Darwin's eye twitched, and he staggered back a few steps.

After a brief exchange, Thoth's eyes gleamed. Although this guy was physically stronger than him, he was slightly inferior in skill.

Taking a deep breath, Tote's eyes turned cold. He stepped forward, gripped his sword with both hands, and unleashed a series of swift sword strikes.

Suddenly, a dense, cold light appeared before his eyes. Darwin's eyes turned serious, and he clenched his fists and threw a powerful punch.

At that moment, Darwin saw through the sword's trajectory and punched Thoth's sword blade squarely.

A muffled click rang out.

The two of them were pushed backward by the reaction force of the collision.

As soon as he regained his footing, a sharp pain shot through him. Darwin quickly raised his hand to look and saw a slash mark suddenly appear on the surface of his fist.

His fist, which could easily shatter rocks, had its defense breached.

Although it wasn't a major problem, it had indeed cut into the flesh, and blood was seeping out. Darwin's expression suddenly darkened.

But then, Thoth flashed forward, unleashing streaks of sword light, with a swirling gust of wind occasionally blowing in his face.

Darwin's eyes were filled with anger, but he dared not take the blow head-on. Although his body was tough, it was no match for steel. He didn't know if Thoth could cut through steel, and if he took the blow head-on, he might suffer a great loss.

He could only rely on his keen senses to dodge and weave in a sorry state under the flash of Toth's sword.

Thoth moved with agility and swiftness, unleashing a series of sharp sword flashes around him.

Darwin was furious at being suppressed, but he was helpless. He dared to take Norton's blade slash head-on, but Thoth's level of swordsmanship made him feel unsure.

Left with no other choice, he retreated abruptly, leaped over the mast, and arrived at another battleground. As soon as he arrived, he shouted at Hisoka, who was being relentlessly attacked by Norton:

“Let’s switch. It’s too much of a disadvantage for me to fight that guy’s famous sword with my bare hands.”

Without giving Hisoka time to hesitate, he quickly entered the fray, slamming his fist into Norton's blade.

With a dull thud, a punch sent Norton flying backward. Darwin looked at his fist, which had only lost a few hairs, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips... This is what you call a fight.

At that moment, Hisoka saw Thoth crossing the horizontal mast, and his eyes twitched as he noticed the nick in the longsword in Thoth's hand.

Is this piece of junk a famous sword? He couldn't help but curse Darwin, that unreliable bastard.
