One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

But for now, we'll just have to make do.

Despite the variations in combat techniques, the fundamental principles remain the same, especially for weapons like sticks, which are relatively easy to learn.

One hour later.

With his masterful swordsmanship, Thoth has brought the "Staff Technique" skill to life on his character panel.

[Staff Techniques (Beginner 1/10)]

Immediately afterwards, from lunch until six o'clock in the afternoon, he began to grasp the basics of stick fighting.

As one learns the basics of staff fighting, the essential techniques of basic staff fighting—chopping, sweeping, thrusting, deflecting, swinging, picking, flicking, clouding, and dancing—are all applied in conjunction with breathing and footwork, and are engraved in Thoth's mind and body.

038. Medical weapons! Boat!

His eyes were calm, and Tote showed no sign of complacency.

Instead,

As Thoth carefully experienced this new combat technique and tested it with swordsmanship, he gradually gained some wonderful insights.

The core principles of staff fighting can be summarized as flexible grip, using both the tip and the handle, proper staff technique, and unity of body and weapon.

It emphasizes "coordinated momentum and smooth force", using the waist to generate power and penetrating the tip of the stick, so as to "strike a large area with the stick, dense like a rain curtain".

Having grasped the essentials of staff fighting, Thoth felt he could integrate them into his swordsmanship.

Make your swordplay powerful, majestic, and heavy. Or is it a heavy sword without an edge, a great skill without artifice? Use brute force to overwhelm others.

Holding the staff, his spirit and energy gradually rose, and he integrated the sword technique into the staff technique. He used one basic staff technique after another, which was powerful and continuous. Under the surge of the force of the Tote, ripples gradually appeared at the tip of the staff.

Suddenly, he twisted his waist and thrust the stick forward. The airflow gathered at the tip of the stick and burst out with force in an instant, accompanied by a loud bang. In the blink of an eye, a dent the size of a football was blasted into the sand five meters away.

Gravel scattered and flew everywhere.

Thoth straightened his back and carefully studied the technique of generating power with this strike.

Keep thinking and keep adjusting.

Not far away, Nojiko blinked at Thoth's actions, a glint of light in her eyes: "Is this for us?"

Nami stared intently, a look of elation in her eyes: "As expected of Thoth."

Just then, two middle-aged women slowly approached from the nearby forest on the shore, pulling a cart.

Nami, with her sharp eyes, noticed and said to Nojiko, "Aunt Arlanda and the others brought food. Is their name Thoth?"

Noki laughed and said, "Thoth has keen senses and must have already discovered it."

However, despite saying that, she cupped her hands in front of her mouth like a megaphone and spoke out:

"Thoth!! Take a break, dinner's ready."

Nami looked at Nojiko speechlessly, "You're really quite proactive."

Thoth put away his staff, glanced back, and nodded with a smile. He had mastered the basics of staff fighting; now he could quickly advance his level through slaughter.

I had dinner with them.

"By the way, I need to see Dr. Na Gao. You can arrange your own time tonight. Rest if you want, or arrange your own extra training if you want."

Thoth said to them.

Nami asked in confusion, "Why do you need to see a doctor? Are you feeling unwell?"

Thoth's lips curled into a slight smile. "Keep it a secret for now."

As he spoke, he reached out and ruffled Nami's orange hair, and Nami shook her head helplessly:

"That's enough, I'm not a child."

Thoth smiled, waved, and turned to leave.

Nami looked at Nojiko: "I'm planning to go swimming in the sea. Do you want to take your swim ring and come along?"

Noki thought for a moment, then shook her head:

"I want to practice more. The day before yesterday, Tote and I experimented at sea. As long as I am strong enough and fast enough, I can glide on the sea surface with zero friction."

I want to master that unique technology as soon as possible.

Nami nodded upon hearing this:

"That's right. Since you have this advantage, you should try your best to make the most of it."

"I'm going swimming now, bye!"

……

In the clinic in the center of the village.

Dr. Nago, wearing a white coat and a headscarf, looked at Thoth, who had come to see him, with surprise:

"You want to learn medicine?"

Thoth smiled and nodded, “We will be going to sea later. It’s not easy to find a skilled, compatible, and capable ship doctor who is willing to go to sea. So I need to have someone on my ship who knows some first aid and pharmacology.”

I consider myself fairly intelligent, so I thought I'd take on the role temporarily.

Naga looked at Tote with a sigh in his eyes. If someone else had come up and asked to learn his medical skills, he would have definitely yelled at them to get lost.

But then again, this kid in front of them was their great benefactor, and Xiao Na and Xiao Nuo, whom they treated like their granddaughters, were going to go out to sea with him.

We absolutely have to teach them!

No matter who suffers, those two lovely children should not suffer.

It seems we'll have to pull out our best tricks.

After a moment of contemplation, he looked at Thoth and said, "Studying medicine requires a lot of professional knowledge. I have medical experience that I have accumulated over most of my life, and I can pass it all on to you."

But if you have to teach them how to cultivate themselves while also cultivating yourself, do you have enough time to study medicine?

I'm not bragging, but if you don't have any medical background, it will take you several years to even get started.

Are you planning to stay in our village for a year or two?

At this point, he stroked his goatee, a smile playing on his lips:

"I don't mind. After all, I would be very happy to see those two little girls every day."

Thoth raised an eyebrow and said confidently, "Don't worry, I consider myself to have a bit of a talent for studying."

Looking down at Toth with disdain, he glared and puffed out his cheeks, feeling challenged in his medical skills. He gave a forced smile and a cold snort.

"Young man, don't be too confident. I will teach you wholeheartedly, step by step. But remember, don't be too proud."

Otherwise, don't blame me for laughing at you.

Thoth was speechless, but could only nod. If one is to learn, then one must have a humble attitude.

The doctor meant well.

But if you end up being proven wrong, don't blame yourself.

At this point, Dr. Gao took a deep breath and said, "I have plenty of time here every day. You can come and learn from me whenever you're free."

"Let's start now!"

Tote Road.

Since Thoth had spoken, Nagoya no longer hesitated and immediately began teaching Thoth the basics of medicine.

Before I begin teaching you, I will first explain what I know: external wound suturing and drug injection, herbal identification and preparation of wound medicine.

There are also acupuncture techniques for stimulating human potential and emergency rescue skills that I learned by chance when I was young, as well as massage techniques to relax muscles and improve blood circulation.

"Don't let my diverse background fool you, I'm quite well-known in the villages and towns around Cocoyasi."

While I may not be the most skilled doctor, I am quite adept at treating common injuries and illnesses among the villagers.

I'm more than capable of teaching someone who's completely new to this field.

In the following period, Dr. Nago began to educate Tot in medical skills, starting with the most basic drug identification and then moving on to basic methods of suturing external injuries.

As the learning begins.

The talent "learning something" will be activated naturally, and as Thoth's basic attributes continue to improve, his memory, comprehension, and learning ability will also continue to improve.

You will definitely gain something from the learning process; your concentration will be significantly improved; and you will never forget what you have learned.

As Dr. Na Gao continued teaching, the surprise in his eyes grew more and more.

Because of these fundamentals, Thoth only needed to be taught once to understand, and as time went on, Thoth was even able to ask tricky questions that Thoth couldn't answer.

At midnight, after Toth left his clinic, Dr. Nago, standing at his doorstep, had a complicated look in his eyes.

I feel like my nose is a little red.

On his way home, Tote had a faint smile on his lips, and a new skill was displayed on the light panel in front of him.

[Medical Skills (Beginner Level 4/10)]

Thoth remained calm, thinking, "Once you get the hang of it, the rest will be easy."

Thoth learned a great deal about the human body from Dr. Nagao, including the distribution of acupoints, acupuncture, and massage. With his own understanding, Thoth was deeply moved.

"Medicine and martial arts are inseparable. Once I master medicine, I will be able to understand my own condition more accurately and arrange my cultivation more rationally."

"It seems I made the right move. This will lay a better foundation for them, from which they will benefit immensely."

At this moment, Thoth's heart stirred slightly:

"This world also has amazing medicinal cuisine techniques, such as the secret recipes of Red-Leg Zeff of Baratie, or the offensive cuisine of the Okama Kingdom, which can all help the body grow through nutritional combinations."

"This world is rich in all kinds of resources, whether they come from deep mountains and forests or from the sea."

Once my medical skills improve further, I can then seek out medicinal herbs, both for cultivation and to supplement my own cultivation by concocting high-grade medicines or combining them with dietary supplements.

A short while later, Thoth returned home, but Nami and the other girl weren't there. Thoth then activated his Observation Haki.

On the nearby shore, he detected their presence, and Thoth understood immediately:

"Sure enough, it's on the ship."

Thoth took a shower at home, changed into clean clothes, and then came to the coast.
