One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

During this time, he did try to contact him using Den Den Mushi (a type of electric telephone), but the call was never answered.

He had considered the possibility that Ah Long might have already been killed, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of anyone in the East China Sea who could have that ability.

Even Smoker, the Logia-type Devil Fruit user who was stationed in Loguetown, didn't think he had the ability to silently eliminate Arlong and his crew.

He grew angrier the more he thought about it. Ah Long had disappeared without a word, and all his money had gone with him.

The thought of this breaks my heart.

So he was unwilling to accept it, and a few days ago, he received some information from Housha Town.

It is said that there is a human girl in Arlong's crew, and this human girl is also a thief who often steals the treasure of pirates.

With this intelligence, he has used the East China Sea Navy's intelligence system to figure out the whereabouts of the little girl named Nami who has been stealing in the nearby waters over the past few years.

He guessed that if the little girl's treasure had not been handed over to Ah Long in the near future, then there must be at least hundreds of millions of treasures in this village.

Stop loss.

So he came here again for the treasure.

At that moment, the rat's words clearly reached the ears of the three people who had just arrived.

Ah Jian's face turned ashen instantly, his fists clenched, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Tote's lips slowly curled up. Sure enough, a leopard can't change its spots. At this moment, he followed A-Jian to the front of the rat.

When the mouse saw Ah Jian, a cold smile curled at the corner of its mouth:

"You all should have understood what I meant, right? Where exactly is that Arlong and his gang named Nami?"

"I only recently learned that Ah Long has been bullying your people here. For your safety, you must cooperate with me in enforcing the law."

Hearing this, Ah Jian knew that the rat had a clear goal and was prepared. His face turned cold: "I'm sorry, Colonel Rat, Nami was forced to join Ah Long's gang."

She has never done anything heinous, and she doesn't have any bounties on her head, so she's not the evil pirate you're describing.

The rat snorted and glanced sideways at Ah Jian, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things? Remember who you are, you're just a sheriff in an ordinary village."

And I am the head of the largest naval branch in this sea area.

Are you going to defy me?

"Heh!" Thoth glanced at Ah Jian's dark, patient face and chuckled softly.

"Sir, let's not beat around the bush. A nobody without a bounty shouldn't be worth you going to all this trouble to cause trouble, right?"

Just tell us what you need, and we'll do our best to help you if it's within our power.

041. Discipline!

And who are you?

The rat's face suddenly darkened, and he looked coldly at Thoth: "By what right do you have to speak to me like this?"

Looking at the rat in front of her, more than a month after Arlong disappeared, it came again to specifically target Nami and cause her trouble. What right does Nami have to do that?

In Thoth's view, the navigator's talent would certainly not be noticed or known by the rat, so Nami's identity as a thief might be discovered.

Combining this with my own memory, the answer is self-evident: everything is about money.

"Qualifications? Status?"

Thoth chuckled lightly. There was no need to argue with him any longer. If he couldn't subdue them once and for all this time, then there would only be endless trouble afterward.

"Is this qualification acceptable?"

Before he could finish speaking, Thoth appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, grabbed his neck with his left hand, and lifted him up.

The mouse didn't even notice anything; it only felt a sharp pain in its neck, followed by pain and a strong feeling of suffocation.

"Let...let me go! You've assaulted an officer! This is a serious crime!"

"As for her identity, Nami is my navigator. If you cause trouble for her, do you think I would just stand by and do nothing?"

Thoth exerted more and more force with his palm, and the rat's face turned red. It gripped Thoth's arm tightly with both hands, but its weak strength made it completely unable to budge him.

"Damn it! Let go of the Colonel!"

"Damn it, let go of me now."

"That's a crime."

Along with the marines' angry shouts, there was a series of clicking sounds as guns were cocked. Totto looked at the marines in front of him aiming their guns at him, his eyes indifferent and unmoved.

He looked calmly and indifferently at the thing in his hand that looked like a chick and could be crushed at will.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ah Jian, who was standing beside him, and the surrounding villagers all changed their expressions, but they all remained silent.

Thoth continued to apply pressure with his palm, and the rat groaned with its mouth wide open, feeling as if its neck was about to break and its brain was about to explode.

He saw the indifference in Thoth's eyes, just like the look in the eyes of those fishmen, the look as if they were looking at insects.

Watching the mouse in my hand, its eyes gradually filled with bloodshot veins, tears welling up in its eyes, and saliva and snot flowing out.

Seeing that he was about to die, Thoth loosened his grip slightly, and calm, indifferent words reached his ears.

"What bounty do you think the Marine Headquarters would set for me if I used your head to create the scene of my first appearance in my pirate career?"

Ten million? Twenty million? Or thirty million?

Thoth didn't completely loosen his grip on the rat's neck, and the rat could only gasp for breath like a bellows. Upon hearing Thoth's words, fear surged in the rat's eyes like a tidal wave.

"Ha! My Colonel, I thought you would be like that Lieutenant Monka in the morning newspaper, ready to fight me to the death!"

So you... feel fear too?

As he spoke, the corners of Toth's lips gradually turned up, and he grabbed his face with his right hand. As the man screamed in pain, Toth shook off the man's hands that were gripping his arm with his left hand, and then pinched the back of his neck and released his right hand.

He suspended the man in mid-air, facing his subordinates, his right index finger pointing at the marines. He slowly brought his head close to the man's ear, his deep voice seductive:

"Why don't you go all out? Let them shoot at us, let them raise their knives and attack us? Even if you die, you'll take me down with you, how about that?"

The mouse's terrified eyes darted around as it looked at the devilish creature beside it.

He realized he really wanted to kill himself, and he said in a trembling voice, filled with immense panic:

"Spare me...spare me. I don't want to die."

Upon hearing this, Thoth's expression suddenly calmed, and he stared at him intently as he emphasized again:

"The girl named Nami you're looking for is one of my people. You came here to cause trouble, and I accepted it. Now, do you still want to cause her trouble?"

"No... I wouldn't dare."

The mouse hissed in alarm.

Thoth's eyes seemed to show helplessness. "It's not that you're afraid, it's that you feel like you're about to die."

As soon as Thoth finished speaking, he took a step forward and stood three meters away in front of a marine. He kicked the marine hard in the chest, and the marine's eyes bulged out as he screamed and flew backward.

It crashed straight into and knocked over four or five people behind it.

Thoth sneered, grabbed the rat, and charged into the crowd, punching and kicking, causing people to fall and scream in agony.

The marines were thrown into complete panic. In a moment of panic, one of them pulled the trigger of his rifle, and bang! A lead bullet was fired at Totto.

His Observation Haki had already been released, and at this moment, Thoth swung the rat, which weighed less than 200 pounds, and used his body to block the bullet.

With a thud, the rat let out a shrill scream as it was shot in the thigh.

The marines looked panicked. Totto flashed in front of one of the marines and, taking advantage of his momentary daze, snatched the sailor's knife from his hand.

With a flick of his wrist, he slashed at the man's chest, blood splattering as the marine let out a scream before being kicked away by Thoth.

At this moment, the villagers around were stunned by what they saw. But after a few seconds of stunned silence, someone shouted, and all the villagers clenched their fists and took a step forward to join the fight.

Thoth looked at him coldly and said in a calm voice, "This is my business, and you are not allowed to interfere."

The villagers were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Ah Jian, who had rushed forward, stopped, his gaze filled with complex emotions.

He stopped, but Thoth didn't. Holding a knife in one hand and the rat's right leg in the other, he darted through the naval crowd, swinging the rat to smash down one marine after another, and wielding the blade to cut them down one by one.

In less than three minutes, all thirty-odd marines on the ground were lying on the ground groaning in pain, their bodies covered in blood.

At this moment, Thoth casually tossed aside the rat with its flat nose and swollen face, and looked up at the remaining marines on the warship not far from the shore, who were stunned and terrified upon discovering the situation.

With a swift movement, he rushed forward at an extremely fast speed.

Upon reaching the shore, he leaped onto the warship, which was several meters high, and, wielding a sailor's knife, ran back and forth on the deck, cutting down the remaining thirty-odd marines.

A few moments later, Thoth went back and forth a few times, carrying the marines from the warship and throwing them into the pile of marines on the shore.

At this moment, I glanced at Dr. Gao:

"Take the villagers with you and bring them all the medical equipment from your clinic."

Dr. Nagao was taken aback when he saw that although the marines present were all seriously injured, none of them had died. He quickly gathered his men and hurriedly left the place.

Tote then looked at A-Jian:

“Go home and get that bill from my drawer. Also, get me ten million peggs from the cabinet.”

Ah Jian's gaze was complicated, but he nodded and decisively set off to leave.

After giving his orders, Thoth walked through the marines to the mouse, who was slumped on the ground, groaning in pain as he pressed his bleeding leg.

With his eyes lowered and gripping the knife, he calmly looked at him. The rat, stiff as a board, slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Toth.

"What...what are you going to do?"

Thoth tilted his head slightly to look at him:

Do I have the right to speak to you now?

The mouse's eyes twitched violently, and it nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, you definitely have it."

Thoth sneered, "Tell me, aren't you shameless?"

"I'm shameless, I'm shameless," the rat said, sweat dripping from its forehead as it bowed and scraped with a fawning expression.

"Tell me, what is your purpose in coming here? Don't think I can't guess. I'll give you one last chance. If you dare to lie, I'll be a pirate today."

Hearing Toth's threatening words, the mouse gave a bitter smile that looked like it was about to cry, and immediately told the truth.
