One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

"A sunny day is wonderful, the wind is calm and the sea is still. This is a good omen."

"Thoth said with a smile."

Do you want some juice?

Nami asked with a grin, "I'll go prepare some orange juice. Vitamins are essential when sailing on the high seas."

"Drink! It'll be perfect for quenching my thirst after I finish exercising."

As he spoke, he looked at Nochiko, who was still cleaning the deck, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

It seems we need to find a few good trainee crew members; we also need manpower to do odd jobs on the ship.

Then, he and Nami returned to the cabin.

Thoth went down to the basement level and came to his room. He looked at the two famous swords he had obtained from Aaron on the weapon rack, which were sitting there forlornly.

He stepped forward, casually took one of the swords, drew it from its sheath, and a slight smile appeared on Toth's lips.

"Let's learn swordsmanship next!"

Before long, on the deck, Thoth, shirtless, began to wield his long sword, a thoughtful look occasionally appearing in his eyes. He quickly mastered the sword as a weapon.

In less than an hour, the swordsmanship appeared in the skill panel.

Immediately afterwards, they jumped from the boat into the sea, swimming alongside the boat while searching for and hunting large fish to hone their skills.

on deck,

Nami and Nojiko are also working hard to train their bodies. After all, with Captain Rolling on the ship, it would feel strange if they didn't put in the effort.

For lunch, we had a large lobster that Tote had caught in the sea; it was incredibly delicious.

As Thoth said, the larger the creature in this world, the more abundant the nutrients it contains.

After eating, energy is restored quickly.

In the afternoon, the small boat arrived at the town of Kabari, but instead of docking at the harbor, it stopped on the western coast of the island.

Before we knew it, it was the third day.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

On the beach, under a parasol, Thoth sat cross-legged on a deck chair, while not far away on the sand, Namino Chiko, wearing a dress and swimsuit, was playing and splashing in the shallows.

It's pleasing to the eye.

However, at this moment, Thoth's attention was focused on the light screen panel in front of him.

[Self-Recovery (Slight Achievement 0/500)]

The breakthrough to the "Self-Recovery" skill, which is now at a "moderately successful" level, grants Thoth a 1-point increase in both his Constitution and Spirit attributes.

The body's self-healing ability has become stronger, and now, at this level of skill recovery, it has begun to extend towards mental recovery.

Recovery capabilities become more comprehensive.

Thoth could sense that his life force had become stronger and his physical strength and resilience had also improved.

After reviewing this skill, Thoth looked at the swordsmanship skill he had used for three days and had reached the "practice makes perfect" level. Although the level had increased, there was still no feedback in terms of attributes.

However, the techniques and key points of knife skills have gradually been incorporated into swordsmanship.

Swordsmanship proficiency steadily improves with practice.

Thoth closes the panel.

Then, glancing at them, he gripped the long sword at his waist and walked towards the sea.

As they passed by Nojiko, a girl's voice came from behind them: "Going to train?"

Toth responded, "Yes."

……

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Not far from the coast.

In the seawater 300 meters deep, the Observation Haki is released, and the corpses of large fish float in the water, attracting a large number of various carnivorous marine creatures.

Thoth would surface for air every now and then, and at one point, at the edge of his Observation Haki range, he sensed the scent of a rat on the sea surface.

There were many familiar auras surrounding him.

Swimming out of the sea.

Tote leaped onto the deck.

He said to Nami and the other person who were practicing their staff techniques on the deck, "Let's go. The rats are coming."

The two nodded, and soon the Wavebreaker left the shore and docked with the Rat's warship 800 meters from the coast.

The warship's footboard rested on the hull of the ship.

Thoth came to the deck of the warship alone, and the rat greeted him with a bright smile.

With a look of joy in his eyes, he looked at the briefcase in Thoth's hand, while Thoth looked back at the package in the mouse's hand.

"Brother Toth, how have you been? I've prepared everything you need here."

Thoth held up his briefcase to him, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Before long, Thoth and the mouse had finished examining the goods they were trading.

Thoth took a closer look at the sea stone shackles, the white, plump anti-eavesdropping Den Den Mushi, and the black eavesdropping Den Den Mushi installed in a watch-like device.

The money and goods were settled.

The rat arranged for two marines to carry two boxes of lead bullets onto Thoth's ship, while Nami and Noji counted the amount of ammunition.

At this moment, at the warship's railing.

The mouse looked at Thoth with a sly smile:

"I've brought quite a lot of weapons on board this time. Would the Toth brothers be interested in purchasing another batch?"

Thoth's lips curled slightly as he glanced at him, smiling but silent. The mouse's lips twitched involuntarily.

Just when he thought the deal was about to close, Toth suddenly spoke up:

"Mr. Mouse, do you know which bounty hunters or skilled individuals have a good reputation in the surrounding waters?"

Upon hearing this, the mouse narrowed its eyes slightly and gave Thoth a deep look, stroking its chin:

“Those famous guys you mentioned, none of them are exactly law-abiding citizens.”

However, if we're talking about those with considerable fame or strength, then there's the mercenary Cyclone Eric, a user of the Scythe-Scythe Fruit, who frequently appears in the waters near the Polaris Islands, and the bounty hunter sniper Sound Van Augur.

Or perhaps it's the treasure hunter Mad Torega, who has been appearing in the vicinity for the past month.

Phantom Thief Karina.

These are the four people I currently know are considered dangerous individuals.

As for the others, like Johnny and Joseph who call themselves bounty hunters, they're just small fry.

"Johnny, Joseph?"

Thoth raised an eyebrow at the sound; he was the guy who was jokingly called the Sword Emperor and Sword Saint in his previous life.

These two guys are not very strong, but they are both very loyal.

The mouse raised an eyebrow, sensing that Thoth seemed interested in the two.

"The two guys you mentioned seem to be in Kabaka, a town about an hour's flight to the west."

I passed by there on my way here and heard that they and several bounty hunters had set their sights on the Jewel Pirates.

"Kabaka is a chaotic area with several shipyards. According to my intelligence, the Jewel Pirates might pass through there in the next couple of days."

"Dagius, the heavyweight puncher with a bounty of 750 million Berries?"

Thoth asked curiously, and the mouse squeaked and nodded, saying, "It's him, but on the whole ship, only that Dagis has any real strength."

The rest were all quite ordinary.

"Mr. Mouse, aren't you going to arrest them?"

Thoth's eyes flashed, and he smiled.

Upon hearing this, the mouse waved its hand and squeaked with laughter: "I am a civilian colonel, not one of those militants. What I need to do is to notify the nearby naval branch base of the intelligence."

"As long as they succeed in their campaign, I will naturally gain some credit."

Having heard what he wanted, Thoth lost the desire to continue the conversation.

The rat said this intelligence was a bonus.

Seeing this, Tote didn't hold back, after all, he was the one who suffered more losses in this deal.

After a brief farewell, Thoth left the warship and soon sailed away.

……

"So, you're planning to recruit a few handymen?"

"Noki said, stroking his chin."

“Sure, with someone to do odd jobs, we’ll have more free time to do our own things.”

Nami agreed.

Seeing this, Thoth laughed:

"Then let's go to Kabaka."

Nami turned the ship around and directed the course.

after an hour,

The Breaker docked at the port of Kabaka.

The town is not large; the buildings are made of brick and stone, and the streets are wide.

The port has several berths that are exclusively for the shipyard.

The streets were bustling with people, but most of them were carrying weapons.
