One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

However, this level of "self-recovery" only brings physical recovery and does not bring accelerated mental recovery.

Even so, this skill has already had a very significant positive effect on Thoth's training efficiency.

The future is promising. Whether I can do sit-ups in the future, this "self-recovery" skill is the cornerstone of the foundation.

Looking at the "Self-Recovery" skill, Toth's eyes showed a thoughtful expression:

"Skill proficiency can only be improved when the body is in a state of extreme fatigue or destruction. So what if we could utilize the all-around pressure of the ocean?"

Then there is no doubt about it.

Thoth already had his own answer in his heart.

In the days to come, he will have plenty of time and opportunities to verify it.

Footsteps approached, and Nami walked over, leaning against the doorframe, asking with a hint of exasperation in her eyes:

"Is something outside attracting you? The door is open, and you're letting the mosquitoes in."

Thoth turned around, tilted his head to look at the flush on her cheeks, then turned back and patted her head. "You're drunk. Go wash up and rest!"

Nami brushed Thoth's hand away and rolled her eyes at him:

"I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk; my alcohol tolerance was trained from a young age."

Because Bellemere said that girls need to protect themselves when they're out, so they definitely need to practice their alcohol tolerance.

"What about you? I don't think you can hold your liquor very well. Well then, I'll kindly help you practice from now on!"

"You're going against the natural order. I don't need you to train me. Once my physical abilities improve, my alcohol tolerance will naturally increase."

"Okay, that's enough chatting. Let's go back and rest."

Thoth pushed her head and shoved her into the room, closed the door, and then went into the room that had been prepared for him.

Lying in bed, the smell of sunshine from the bedding, after it had been exposed to the sun, filled my nostrils.

In the comfortable but not soft bed, Thoth soon drifted off to sleep.

Nami and Nojiko slept in the same room under the covers, talking in hushed tones, their laughter occasionally breaking the silence.

The next day. At the crack of dawn.

Thoth woke up naturally, got up and went to the woods outside to begin practicing basic physical exercises.

Not long after, Nami arrived with Nojiko. Seeing Thoth intently training in the forest clearing, Nami said:

"I'll start exercising now. Wait a moment, and then you can ask him if he can teach you. But I think with my connections, Tote shouldn't refuse you."

After listening to Nami finish speaking, Nojiko saw her go to the side and begin to do some high-intensity physical training.

She stood quietly to the side, a gentle smile on her face, watching the two of them.

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually brightened. The pale light of the sunrise appeared on the eastern horizon. His bare upper body was covered in sweat. Thoth stood up and looked at Nojiko:

"Sorry, it's been a long wait."

024. Entering the inner sanctum! Change!

"It wasn't that long, just half an hour."

The girl with blue hair had a sweet, even cloying, smile on her face:

Do you exercise with this much focus every day?

Hearing the resentment in the girl's tone, Thoth pretended not to hear it. Ordinary people who want to cultivate will not achieve anything if they do not have patience.

"I won't say much about the surface level. I'll teach you a set of movements and a breathing method first. Practice on your own whenever you have time, and ask me if you encounter any problems."

Nokiko was surprised by Thoth's decisiveness, but she nodded:

"Thank you, then I'll trouble you."

Regarding training to become stronger, Nami had told her last night that she was well aware of the vulnerability of ordinary people in this world, and since she now had the opportunity to acquire this knowledge, she naturally wanted to give it a try.

Thoth explained the movements in slow motion, starting with the basics of human power generation, breaking down each movement for her.

While teaching her, it was also a way to review and learn something new. Watching her gradually grasp the essence of the exercise movements under his explanation, Thoth's eyes widened in surprise.

Like Nami, she has excellent flexibility and is also intelligent.

At some point, Nami stopped exercising and began to listen attentively, a glimmer of understanding occasionally flashing in her eyes.

At 7:30 a.m., the two sisters, covered in sweat, finished their workout and went home to wash up and prepare breakfast.

Thoth continued his practice alone.

Nine o'clock, after breakfast.

Thoth and Nojiko watched Nami leave for Arlong's place; she wouldn't be home at noon. Nojiko then noticed Thoth preparing to leave as well, and her gaze flickered slightly.

"Are you going to cultivate in the back mountain?"

Do you want to come together?

Thoth asked her, and Nochiko blinked, "Is it okay? What do I need to bring?"

"Just a dagger, a packet of seasoning, and then you can follow me closely."

Noki suddenly realized what was happening, her eyes twitching. Was she treating her like a personal chef? How incredibly impolite!

However, she could accept it, since Thoth taught her and didn't charge any tuition.

Nojiko quickly got ready and, together with Thoth, entered the mountains via a nearby path. They ran at a very fast pace, with Thoth instructing Nojiko on how to adjust the rhythm between running and breathing.

During the run of several kilometers, Thoth also discovered that this Nami sister's physical fitness was much stronger than Nami's.

It is much stronger than that of an average adult.

Half an hour later, the two arrived deep in the mountains and stopped in a forest.

"You've done physical exercise before, haven't you?"

Hearing this, Noki, panting heavily, wiped the sweat from her face and nodded:

"I only have Nami left, so I always thought that I should work out so that I could help her, but I also wouldn't hold her back."

I asked Ah Jian to teach me some basic exercise methods before, but they're nothing compared to what you taught me today.

"By the way, A-Jian is the village's guard captain. He's been a reliable man like my and Nami's father since we were little."

"I know that. Nami told me before."

"Thoth said. Nokiko couldn't help but take a deep breath, her gaze becoming subtle.

Nami really trusts him!

How come even the underwear was shaken clean?

After a short rest, seeing that she had caught her breath, Toth said:

"Let's go!"

Before long, the two arrived near a waterfall deep in the mountains, where a deep pool appeared.

At the edge of the pool, large, emerald-green lotus leaves quietly dot the landscape.

The splashing water from the waterfall patters against the lotus leaves, and the combination of movement and stillness perfectly showcases the magnificence of nature.

As Thoth felt the dampness in the air, his gaze shifted slightly. Not far from the pool, a group of robust wild boars were drinking and foraging in the stream.

Thoth moved swiftly, rushing forward at incredible speed. Amidst the panic of the wild boar herd, his sword flashed like rain, his movements agile and nimble.

The sharp blade easily sliced ​​through the thick fur; the hunt begins.

The training of Tote and his companion began around this waterfall and pool.

Cultivation and combat have never been two separate paths.

Nojiko was exercising by the pool while watching as various ferocious beasts, gradually drawn by the blood, were dealt with by Thoth.

As time passed, seeing Thoth completely enter a highly efficient killing state, Nojiko's face turned slightly pale.

Those beasts, even larger than her, had their limbs and heads severed, and the thick smell of blood made her face grow even paler.

Beside the pond, a wild boar was being cut into pieces and roasted over a fire. The tempting fat dripped into the flames. Listening to the crackling sounds around me, my Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and a jolt of electricity shot up from my tailbone.

Gazing at Toth's retreating figure in the distance, blood trickled down his sword. He was a man like an executioner, killing as if it were an instinct. A beastly aura gradually rose from him.

It was evening, on my way home.

Nojiko, carrying a delicious roasted meat wrapped in lotus leaves, followed two meters behind Thoth, her eyes glazed as she looked at Thoth's back, who was killing all day long.

The beast's mournful cries could not shake his mind in the slightest. Was his heart made of iron and stone?

Don't you have any pity?

She felt lost.

She had killed chickens and rabbits before, but this was the first time she had ever seen a slaughterhouse scene like this, where killing was done for the sake of killing.

There must be at least a hundred ferocious beasts, right?

After passing through the forest outside the village, I returned home, sat on the sofa, and drank some water.

At this moment, Thoth looked up at the somewhat dazed Nojiko and said calmly:

"You don't need to come with me tomorrow."

Nojiko froze, looking bewildered and at a loss. "Why...why? Did I do something wrong?"

Thoth said calmly, "You weren't in the right state of mind for the rest of the day; your thoughts kept wandering. Your practice was also inefficient."

The mountains are not home.

If things continue like that, there will come a time when I can't keep up.

"I don't want you to lose your life because of this; I won't be able to explain it to Nami."

Nochiko fell silent, but Thoth's gaze remained unchanged as he continued:

"Different experiences will shape different values ​​in life. You sisters are both kind, but Nami, who has been struggling among bad people for many years, is more able to accept and adapt to such a bloody reality than you."

If you can't adapt, then I advise you to stay away from me.

Maintaining this healthy distance between us is best for everyone.
