One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

Johnny's face was cold, while Joseph raised his chin, his face flushed: "Who do you think you are? So what if we do three years of menial work? Do you think we're bound to lose?"

Nami blinked. She didn't interrupt, just watched quietly. These two didn't seem very smart, but they didn't look like the kind of villains who were truly evil.

Then she looked at Thoth. Had she taken a liking to these two guys? Did they have some merit that Thoth had discovered in them?

"You're carrying a sword, which means you're a swordsman, right?"

Johnny suddenly pulled his weapon from the buckle on his lower back—a large, curved machete without a blade.

He gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands, his expression turning serious, and he said coldly:

"Draw your sword!"

Thoth's eyes flickered slightly. Their aura was weak, not much different from Noki's. They didn't need to draw their swords to bully others, but not drawing their swords would be an act of disrespect.

Clang!

A flash of cold light suddenly appeared, and it was drawn from its sheath at a speed that Johnny couldn't even see.

Looking at the sword in Thoth's hand, its blade seemingly radiating a sharp aura, Johnny swallowed hard, but his eyes quickly regained their fearlessness.

Like a newborn calf.

Thoth's lips curled into a slight smile. "Not bad eye. Come on, I'll let you make the first move."

Johnny shouted to bolster his courage, gripped his knife with both hands, and leaped into the air, slashing at Thoth like a predator.

Without moving, Thoth suddenly raised his arm and slashed out with his sword the instant the blade fell. With a crack, his essence, energy and spirit were condensed and the power was transmitted to the blade. With this sword, his body was sent flying in the blink of an eye, and his blade was directly cut open.

At that moment, Johnny felt as if he had been savagely charged by a mad rhinoceros, his body numb as he fell heavily to the ground from mid-air.

The tiger's mouth split open, and blood seeped out.

The knife slipped from his hand and crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

Lying on the ground, his eyes were blank, completely unable to comprehend that he had already lost.

Johnny?!

Joseph shouted and ran nervously to Johnny's side, kneeling down on one knee and shaking him vigorously.

Upon seeing this, Thoth calmly spoke:

"Don't worry, you won't die, and you're not seriously injured."

Upon hearing this, Joseph's eyes widened as he looked at Thoth, who then spoke:

"What about you? Do you still want to fight?"

047. The Boss!

"As a real man, I will not be afraid to fight just because my opponent is strong."

As he spoke, he grabbed the same machete as Johnny and charged forward, full of ferocity, but his technique was terrible, showing absolutely no signs of systematic training.

It doesn't seem like a gifted individual.

Joseph drew his sword at close range, but Thoth raised his arm and casually swung his sword, deflecting Joseph's blade. In the blink of an eye, the sword was at Joseph's neck.

The cold, steely touch on his neck made Joseph involuntarily swallow. Thoth looked at him with a half-smile:

"Should we admit defeat?"

Joseph's face flushed and paled in turns. After a few seconds, his shoulders slumped, and he looked at Thoth with a tearful expression. A few seconds later, he took a deep breath, his eyes blazing, and shouted:

"Big Brother!!!"

At that moment, as if summoned, Johnny struggled to his feet and shouted back:

"I give up, we admit defeat. From now on, you're our big brother. We'll do the menial work."

Johnny then looked at Thoth with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Hey, big brother, we still don't know your name?"

“V. Thoth”.

"Brother Tote, I have a favor to ask. Could you teach us swordsmanship in your spare time?"

As he spoke, Johnny looked at Thoth with burning eyes, and Joseph looked at him with the same intensity.

Toth's lips twitched, looking at these two clowns with utter exasperation, and he said:

“After you finish cleaning up the ship’s clutter and sanitation every day, you can follow me in your spiritual practice.”

"Really?" ×2

"Thank you so much, Brother Toth!" ×2

Nami's mouth gaped slightly as she watched the two of them switch sides in a flash, and she felt an overwhelming urge to make sarcastic remarks.

"I'm telling you guys..."

"Eldest Sister" x2

Suddenly, as if they had realized something, they all bowed and roared in unison.

Nami's eyes twitched, her face full of resistance, and she waved her hands repeatedly: "No, don't call me that, it's embarrassing."

Johnny blinked. "So, what's your name?"

Joseph asked in confusion, "If we don't call you that, then how should we address you?"

You must be a full-fledged member of Brother Thoth's crew, right?

"My name is Nami! I'm a navigator."

Nami reluctantly gave her full name.

"Big Sister Nami!" ×2

The two immediately roared with excitement.

Her face was tense, her lips twitched, and Nami's pink toes inside her sandals began to curl and twitch uncontrollably.

Looking up at Tote, there was a helpless look in his orange eyes, as if to say, "Can we return these two?"

Thoth shrugged. "Pretty interesting, isn't it? Bringing it on the ship will definitely bring a lot of fun, won't it?"

"You're such a joker!" Nami muttered, speechless. She couldn't help but lightly kick Thoth's shin with her toe, then looked at them and sighed.

Are you locals? Or do you have a boat?

Immediately, Johnny and Joseph shook their heads and said in unison:

"No, eldest sister."

Johnny continued, “We’re from the same village. We’re orphans, from a small town on the far east side of the world.”

“We saved up enough money to board a merchant ship and went to sea,” Joseph continued, followed by Johnny:

"We don't have a boat yet, but our previous goal was to save enough money to buy a small boat."

Thoth blinked. "So you've already exposed your underwear? How honest of you!"

Is it sincere? It's good.

What are your special skills?

The two blinked, and then Johnny, who seemed to have a more outgoing personality, hesitated and said:

"Does knowing some carpentry skills count? Also, I can read nautical charts."

As for swordsmanship, there's no need to embarrass oneself by showing it off, since the person in front of them, Thoth, is a powerful swordsman whom even they cannot see through.

Then, Joseph grinned and said:

“I am strong and have a big appetite. I used to carry bags at the port in our area and I also know how to raise and lower the sails of various ships.”

Upon hearing this, Thoth exchanged a glance with Nami. Nami stroked her chin and said to Thoth:

"It seems to still be somewhat useful?"

Johnny and Joseph's lips twitched instantly. Were they completely useless before? How heartbreaking.

Thoth then looked at Nami and said, "Now that we've accepted them, let's go buy two more quilts."

“Okay!” Nami nodded in agreement.

Thoth looked at them and said, "Come with us!"

With that, he turned to leave.

But then, Johnny hurriedly said:

"Brother Thoth, aren't you going to take care of Vasco da Gama?"

Thoth glanced at them: "No need, it's a waste of space to bring them."

Joseph and his companion exchanged bewildered glances. How arrogant! They didn't even care about a bounty of 60 Berries?

Keep in mind that for the past two months, their targets have mostly been criminals with bounties of only ten or twenty thousand Berries!

They had just met this guy and he seemed to be no ordinary person.

However, since their elder brother had given the order, they had no choice but to obey.

He glanced at the latter with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

However, at this moment, Joseph's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned around and ran over, scavenging a handful of Berries from Vasco da Gama and bringing them over. It looked like he had fifty or sixty thousand Berries.

Joseph grinned, flashing his white teeth, and handed Thoth a bag of pewter berries. “Brother, here you go. This is your spoils of war.”

A smile appeared in Thoth's eyes. Nami's eyes darted around, and she naturally reached out to take the money. Then she counted out two thousand-yuan bills and handed them to them. After they received them, Nami said with a grin:

"Now that you have joined our ship and are currently serving as menial laborers, there are a few rules you need to know."

First, whenever you receive funds for a mission, such as bounties and treasures from defeating pirates, your reward cap will be determined by how much effort you put in.

Secondly, you are not allowed to enter the captain's cabin or our women's quarters without permission. You do not need to clean these two rooms; I will do it myself.

Third, the men's and women's restrooms on the ship are separate and you are not allowed to use them indiscriminately. You are not required to clean the women's restrooms.

Fourth, well, I haven't decided on this yet, but I'll update you as it becomes available.

Nami looked calmly at the two of them, exuding an aura of "I'll kill you if you dare refuse," and said, "Do you understand?"

Two thuds rang out, and the two nodded repeatedly, like chicks pecking at rice. They looked very well-behaved.
