Noki raised an eyebrow and looked at Thoth with a half-smile, "Although I know you're trying to stir up trouble, Nami is indeed itching for a beating."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and pinched Nami's cheeks with both hands, kneading and rolling them forcefully. Nami, dissatisfied, reached out in return, but as soon as she pinched Nojiko's cheek, she was slid away.
Nojiko smiled brightly, while Nami gradually became depressed.
Ah Jian and the doctor watched with smiles as the two sisters played happily. Tote went to the window and looked at the calm, boundless sea in the distance under the night sky.
Ah Jian came to Tote's side and sighed, "We will contact the Hou Sha Shipyard next door to build the ship you need as soon as possible."
But if we want a decent boat, it's a small place here, and it would take about a month.
Tot nodded: "Sure, I need to settle down and cultivate myself for a while."
Ah Jian looked at Tote, a hint of admiration in his eyes: "I thought you wouldn't be able to wait."
Thoth smiled and shook his head.
Before long, the two sisters' playful fight ended with Nami suffering a crushing defeat.
After discussing it, A-Jian and Tote decided that Tote would stay behind while they returned to the village. On one hand, they went to Nami's house to clean up the bodies of A-Long and the other three, and on the other hand, they gathered the villagers together.
Soon, under the cover of night, everyone in the village except the children rushed over, confirming the reality that Ah Long and his gang, whom they had been longing to see, had been wiped out.
They wept with joy, and Ah Jian organized a group of people to start cleaning up the fish-man corpses in the courtyard below.
It didn't take long for the fishman corpses to be cleared away. They were all thrown onto Alon's boat on the shore.
Ten men, carrying a small boat, sailed Arlong's pirate ship to a distant point on the high seas to burn it.
The remaining people were tasked with thoroughly cleaning up all traces of the battle.
Late at night, after a busy day of work, the villagers, led by A-Jian, Dr. Noki, and Nami, began to line up to receive their money. Every villager who received money thanked Tote with gratitude.
Thoth stood not far away, nodding as he quietly watched the scene unfold. In this way, everyone would benefit, and the entire village would keep the secret to themselves.
Now, watching Ah Jian solemnly explain the stakes involved in this matter to the entire village.
In short, it's all about keeping it a secret, keeping it a secret even in death.
The villagers were all focused and united in their hatred of the enemy. Even a fool would know that they absolutely could not let outsiders know.
To this, Tote laughed.
What binds people's hearts most is always self-interest.
Not long after, Totenochika Nami, carrying the three people's share, walked along the forest path on her way home.
Back home, Nami and the other woman began cleaning up the mess in the room. They finished quickly, and Nami even found wooden boards to repair the walls that Arlong had broken.
Nokiko prepared a simple meal, and after the three of them finished eating, they went back to their room to rest.
Bed.
Thoth looked at the light screen panel that appeared in front of him.
Skills section:
Swordsmanship (Advanced Level 46 → 85/1000)
[Unarmed Combat Skills (Advanced Level 4→6/1000)]
[Self-Recovery (Beginner Level 33→34/100)]
[Observation Haki (Beginner Level 0→39/100)]
Thanks to the high quality of the Murloc race, each Murloc brought an increase in Thoth's skill proficiency.
Arlong alone provided Thoth with a 10-point improvement in both swordsmanship and Observation Haki.
After a moment's thought, Thoth also felt it was normal. Although the fight with Alon hadn't lasted long, it was like dancing on the edge of a knife.
You could die if you're not careful.
In the original timeline, after his battle with Charlotte Katakuri, Straw Hat Luffy awakened his Observation Haki and was able to foresee the future.
It is evident that battles fraught with danger are exceptionally effective in enhancing one's strength.
Thoth closed the panel, letting out a long sigh of relief. The mountain of aspirations, known as Alon, that had been weighing on his heart, was quietly overturned on this unexpected night.
"In this battle, it was noticeable that A-Long's reaction to the timing of the battle was not sharp... This is because he has been lacking in combat for a long time since he came to the East Sea."
Thoth's eyes were calm. As expected, he had lived too comfortably for the past few years. At his age, he didn't even have a trace of domineering aura.
He talks about his ambition to rule humanity, but in reality, he's already content with the status quo.
Living in this dangerous world and having witnessed top-tier combat power, he still doesn't understand the principle of "born in hardship, die in comfort."
To be honest, he's just a nobody.
Thinking of this, Thoth couldn't help but chuckle, slowly closed his eyes, and completely relaxed his body, but he could still hear the faint conversations around him.
Meanwhile, in the next room, on a slightly larger, softer bed.
Nami sat on the bed, hugging her knees, her eyes slightly dazed, and said softly:
"Tote told me before that he would definitely kill Ah Long and his men. Although I convinced myself to believe it, deep down I still had some doubts."
Ah Long and his gang are so strong, like the deep, turbulent currents in the ocean, filling me with a deep-seated fear.
Especially tonight, when I heard you say he was following me, it was like a bolt from the blue. And when he entered our house, I was actually prepared to die there.
At this point, Nami's eyes reddened slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes; she was crying tears of joy.
“But Tot did it. He destroyed the cage that bound the ten-year-old me in my heart.”
"Nochigo, we are free."
Nojiga nodded gently, reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, hugged her tightly in his arms, and stroked her head.
Her gentle voice, like spring rain, nourished Nami's heart.
“Let’s take Thoth to Belmel tomorrow morning! He not only saved us, but also got justice for our beloved mother.”
We'll be going to the open sea with him someday, so this important matter needs to be told to Belleme in Heaven.
Nami nodded emphatically, then looked up and blinked her reddened eyes, "Do you think Bellemere will oppose us?"
"We're going with him. Given Thoth's ambitious nature and the current state of affairs, we'll most likely become pirates in the future."
Upon hearing this, Nokiko tilted her head and looked at her with a smile: "If she objects, will you listen to her?"
Nami's eyes darted around, then she smiled, her eyes crinkling slightly, and stuck out her tongue:
"No way! Absolutely not."
Nojiko laughed heartily at her words, and Nami gently bumped her cheek with her head. "Nojiko, we'll always be together from now on."
"Yes, I will protect you."
Nokiko's eyebrows curved slightly.
She felt a little uneasy about the extraordinary life ahead, but more than that, she had a great longing for a bright future.
Looking at her fair and smooth palm, she slowly clenched her fist. This time, she was determined to hold on tight and never let anyone take away her beloved possession again.
Therefore, she needs to become stronger.
Sensing the wondrous power within his body, a power that was mysterious and powerful, possessing extraordinary malleability.
Her body is now different; she has a wonderful control over her perfect body.
"Sleep well, Nami! When we wake up, we'll be starting a brand new life!"
"OK, good night."
As the sounds from next door faded away, Thoth gradually drifted off to sleep.
During sleep, as the body's energy is consumed, the injuries begin to heal themselves, and the proficiency of "self-recovery" also increases in tandem.
035. Ability and domineering presence!
The next morning, Tote woke up hungry, his stomach rumbling like thunder.
Sensing his own body, every inch of his bones and blood seemed to be roaring and howling in anger.
My mouth is dry, and I feel anxious and flustered.
Tote casually put on a pair of shorts and slippers, pushed open the door to the living room, found a bottle of fruit wine in the room, uncorked it, and drank it all in one gulp.
Only then did the roar of hunger in my mind slowly subside.
"Thoth? Won't you sleep a little longer?"
Nochiko came out of the kitchen and looked at Thoth in surprise. Seeing her, Thoth smiled and said:
"Good morning! No, thank you."
As she spoke, she looked at Nokiko with amazement. The girl was simply wearing a beige tank top and orange shorts, with a pink apron covering her prominent breasts.
Her bare, shapely arms and shapely, slightly fleshy legs were dazzlingly white. Noticing Thoth's gaze, Noki smiled broadly and spun around slowly, then tilted her head slightly, her smile radiant:
"Are you surprised? I find it hard to believe myself. My skin is so smooth now that I can even skip skincare products."
Thoth came up to her, touched her chin with his left hand, and lightly touched her arm with his right index finger. It wasn't the kind of touch that would completely slip away, but the smooth and delicate feel was undeniable.
Nojiko blinked and chuckled softly:
"That peculiar ability to control zero friction is actually something I can control on my own."
Fortunately, I can control it freely; otherwise, I probably wouldn't even be able to put on clothes.
Moreover, I can now achieve zero friction when using it on specific parts of the body.
As he spoke, a subtle, glossy sheen appeared on the arm that Thoth was holding, and then his fingers slipped away completely, no longer under his control.
At the same time, Nojiko uttered some surprised words:
"By giving the body zero friction, even a high-speed moving object can slide away instantly when it comes into contact with me."
Furthermore, I am immune to the kinetic energy that objects carry when they come into contact with me.
As Nojiko carefully explained his understanding of the Smooth-Smooth Fruit's power, Thoth smiled.
"This ability is indeed quite good and very useful. I'm afraid I couldn't even beat you in a head-on fight right now!"
Nokiko was slightly taken aback, then realized that most of Thoth's attack abilities were physical attacks, but she was immune to them.
