One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

The medical skills that have reached the level of proficiency have given Tot a bonus of 1 point of the [Refinement] attribute.

Over the past few days, Tote has thoroughly figured out how to improve his medical skills, firstly by learning professional knowledge, and secondly by practicing in real-world situations.

It can be used to prepare medicines, treat injuries and illnesses, and also for suturing external wounds.

Whenever he had free time, Thoth would find some wild beasts to wound, gather herbs to prepare the medicine, and then successfully stitch them up. In this way, his medical skills naturally improved rapidly.

Clang! Bang! Clang!

A loud clanging of metal drew Thoth's attention. He looked up and saw the trees not far ahead.

Nami and Nojiko fought each other wielding iron rods, their weapon stances, breathing techniques, and footwork all demonstrating their proficiency.

Nojiko's attacks were fluid and well-paced, while Nami was agile and used her sense of airflow to anticipate her opponent's moves.

Watching the two sisters spar, Thoth smiled. With just his skillful use of the staff, he could keep a dozen or so ordinary pirates from getting close.

At that moment, Thoth saw Nokiko twist the middle of the iron rod with both hands, and the brand-new two-meter iron rod in her hands split in the middle, turning into two one-meter short rods.

In a close-quarters fight, Nami was in grave danger. Despite her best efforts to dodge the attacks, she was struck on the wrist by Nojiko's left-hand short stick a few breaths later.

Thus, they were utterly defeated.

Seeing this, Thoth walked over, thinking to himself:

"I only explained the principles of the Six Styles: Paper Drawing, an extraordinary technique that uses the airflow in an attack to dodge. She has already figured it out and mastered it to a basic extent."

So, between the two of them, if we're talking about who can master Observation Haki the fastest, it has to be Nami.

Upon arriving, Nami, seeing Thoth approaching, immediately sought comfort with a pained expression, holding up her right wrist, on the verge of tears:

"My hand hurts, Tote, would you like to massage it for me?"

"How about I give you a couple of acupuncture needles?"

Thoth glanced at her, then curled his lip in disdain:

"Don't think I can't tell. Nokiko didn't use any brute force. At most, you'll only be in pain for less than ten minutes."

There was no injury to any bones or tendons.

Seeing that she couldn't fool Thoth, Nami rolled her eyes at him helplessly and muttered:

"Can't you comfort me a little?"

040. Shameless!

"Shall I blow on it for you?"

Grasping her wrist, Thoth pressed down with his fingertips, neither too hard nor too soft. Nami rolled her eyes slightly and squinted, muttering:

"It's not like you got burned. Do you think you have magic powers? You can't just blow on it and it'll be fine?"

Nojiko rolled her eyes at Nami helplessly, but then she looked at Thoth curiously:

"Are you going to see Dr. Gao this afternoon, or are you going to continue practicing your medical treatment skills in the mountains?"

At this point, her expression became subtle, as she was also shocked by Tote's bizarre move of first inflicting serious injury and then attempting to treat him.

In just ten days, a wealth of treatment experience has been accumulated.

"A veterinarian?" Nami covered her mouth and looked at Thoth strangely. Nojiko's expression immediately became tense upon hearing this, and she suppressed a laugh.

Thoth glanced at them and said calmly:

"If you can cure animals, then you can cure humans. When you get injured, you'll still have to rely on me to treat you."

Seeing the subtle expressions on their faces, Thoth chuckled softly: "For a long time to come, I may be the only veterinarian on our ship who can treat injuries."

From minor ailments like colds, fevers, and food poisoning, to serious illnesses like losing limbs or other acute conditions.

Nami covered her face, on the verge of tears:

"Okay, stop talking. I admit I was wrong, alright?"

She quickly came up behind Toth, stood on tiptoe, and squeezed and pressed his shoulders hard with both hands, speaking in a sweet and ingratiating tone:

"I'm so beautiful and lovely, you won't treat me like a wild animal from the mountains in the future, will you?"

Thoth suppressed a laugh: "Of course, at least they'll give you anesthesia, so you won't have to endure it."

Nami's face turned green, and she angrily slammed her head against Thoth's back with a dull thud. But then, she herself groaned and squatted down, clutching her forehead.

Just then, Ah Jian walked over from not far away, smiling broadly as he looked at Tote:

"Today's Donghai Morning Post is out, there are two big news stories, take a look."

Curious, Thoth reached out and took the newspaper from A-Jian. At the top was a wanted poster for a pirate, featuring a freckled boy with flames burning on his body.

"Fire Fist Ace lands in Loguetown and fights Smoker to a draw; Fire Fist is about to set sail for the Grand Line, and another new pirate star is rising!!!"

Thoth narrowed his eyes, glancing at the arrogant smile of Portgas D. Ace in the wanted poster on the front page of the newspaper, who was almost a year older than him:

"Are they already setting sail for the Grand Line?"

Ah Jian raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, but at that moment, Tote looked down at a report that had been overshadowed by the one above.

"Fighting to the death, a righteous hero marine, Lieutenant Morgan of the 153rd Squadron!"

The newspaper featured a large article about how Morgan, a rookie, braved brutal pirates and eventually overcame countless hardships to defeat and capture the pirate captain "Hundred Plans" Kuro, who had a bounty of 1600 million.

As a result, he was promoted and received a raise, rising from a lowly soldier to a powerful second lieutenant in the 153rd branch.

The extensive use of flowery language to praise Monka and the navy contrasts sharply with the eventual capture and execution of "Kro".

Ah! Evil is ultimately no match for justice! Ah! In this era, so many righteous people are bearing the burden for us, their people!

Wait, wait, wait, Thoth looked calmly at the words of praise in the newspaper!

Nami nestled her head against Thoth's arm, blinking her big eyes:

"This Lieutenant Monca is really lucky. He lost his jaw and his right hand, and he still survived. He must have had a really tough fight with Hundred. Kro!"

Upon hearing this, Thoth's expression tightened, and he blinked as he looked at Nami questioningly:

"A pirate captain with a bounty of 1600 million was defeated by a rookie? And this rookie even lost his hand and shattered his jaw? Nearly dying. And that pirate is none other than Hundred-Purpose Kuro, the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, known for his cunning and treacherous schemes?"

Nami sensed something strange in Thoth's words and looked at him curiously:

"You mean, there might be some unknown secret here?"

Thoth smiled and shook his head. "I don't know, but it's not important."

While that's what he said on the surface, Thoth was thinking to himself, 'The Silent Step that Kro developed himself seems to have potential that's no less than the Navy's Six Styles Shave!'

This likely involves some special technique for generating physical strength.

Toth had information about the famous and intelligent man, Baiji Keluo, in his mind.

The plot involves the deliberate massacre of a ship full of sailors, the use of a stand-in to fake his death and escape, and the fact that the vice-captain, the hypnotist Zango, completely hypnotizes both the stand-in and the only surviving elite recruit, Monka.

He's now thinking about whether he should go find him; this silent step is quite good.

Although he possesses the agility and close-range footwork necessary for combat, it would take him considerable time to develop his own high-speed movement techniques.

The skills you acquire have a prerequisite: you must have a systematic progression path.

However, special power-generating techniques like the Silent Step probably cannot be manifested as a skill.

Just like the techniques of fish-man karate and fish-man jujitsu, after Thoth learned them, he incorporated them into his own "underwater combat techniques".

In Thoth's view, what resembles the Six Styles of the Navy cannot be called a combat skill. To be precise, it is a systematic and extraordinary training method for breaking through the limits of the human body.

For Tote, having a readily available reference for this type of technique would undoubtedly save a lot of time.

……

"Hey! Why is Dr. Gao here?"

Just then, Nami suddenly noticed the doctor running quickly from the woods.

Thoth and the others turned to look.

Soon, the doctor arrived, catching his breath while clutching his back, and noticed Ah Jian's pale face.

"The rats are back, and we need you, the village sheriff with official status, to go and deal with them."

"But judging from their appearance, they seem to have ill intentions this time."

Hearing this, the expressions on everyone's faces turned grim. Ah Jian took a deep breath:

"Okay, I understand. I'll go take a look right away."

"I will go with you."

At this moment, Thoth spoke calmly.

Ah Jian's eyes twitched suddenly. "You don't mean you're planning to go over there and kill them all, do you?"

"You absolutely mustn't act impulsively; killing a naval captain would be a serious matter."

Thoth shook his head: "I'm not that careless in my work. I'm just going to take a look. I won't do anything unless it's absolutely necessary."

Ah Jian's expression was subtle as he listened, while Nami looked at Thoth and said, "Then I'll go too."

Then Nojiko also spoke up, but Thoth shook his head and refused:

"You guys shouldn't go and join in the fun."

Seeing this, the two had no choice but to obey.

Before long, Tot and Dr. Ajian arrived at the village dock, where Colonel Rat and a squad of naval officers were already waiting.

Colonel Rat of the 16th Branch was a middle-aged man in his thirties with shifty eyes and wearing a dark gray hooded coat.

On each side of his upper lip were three distinctive, upturned mustaches, which, combined with his outfit, made him look exactly like a humanoid gray rat.

"I'll say it one last time: thanks to reports from concerned citizens, you've discovered that a dangerous individual with close ties to ruthless pirates is hiding here."

For the sake of the East China Sea, and for the safety of the Konom Islands under the jurisdiction of our 16th branch,

Where is that dangerous woman from Arlong's pirate crew named Nami?

At this moment, the rat stared coldly at the surrounding villagers.

He knew, of course, that the little girl named Nami was innocent, but now Arlong and the others had completely disappeared, supposedly having returned to their homeland on the Grand Line.
