One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

It's useless!

If you can't catch up, you can't catch up.

The difference in their fundamental skills is quite significant.

……

A moment later, Nokiko chased after Thoth through the city's winding alleyways.

Finally, Tote stopped not far from the entrance of a cluster of buildings in the city, near the back of the mountain.

This is a cluster of six-story buildings. On the ground floor, there is an unassuming bar.

A dozen meters away, Noki gasped for breath, glaring at Thoth with a gritted teeth. When she reached Thoth's side, she grabbed his arm.

Why did you stop running?

Thoth smiled and looked up at the name of the bar: Four Seas Bar!

"Here is the place."

These words came from Thoth's mouth, and according to his Observation Haki, there were quite a few powerful auras present in this bar.

Upon hearing this, Nojiko's eyes lit up: "This is an auction house?"

"I don't know, but there are quite a few powerful auras here that belong to those who can be considered ruthless figures in the East China Sea."

This area is the most suspicious in the city.

Meanwhile, various noises were coming from inside the bar.

Loud laughter, curses, and jeering filled the air.

"Let's go in and take a look."

As he spoke, he led Nokiko forward, pushed open the wooden door of the bar, and as the doorbell rang, a faint smell of smoke and alcohol wafted onto the door.

Thoth glanced around at the layout of the bar's interior, which was a spacious area of ​​several hundred square meters, like a banquet hall.

At the far end of the hall is a long, semi-circular solid wood bar, and behind the bar is a shelf filled with a dazzling array of high-end-looking drinks.

Five bartenders stood behind the bar, each with a professional, standard smile on their face.

Rows of square tables were neatly arranged in the hall.

Upon entering, Toth could immediately tell that the patrons were a diverse group of people from all walks of life.

Pirates, bounty hunters, and gangsters.

Many of them are well-known.

There were several tables where people seemed to have a past conflict, arguing heatedly, but none of them actually came to blows.

At that moment, with the crisp sound of the doorbell, curious, cruel, amused, and wary eyes turned towards them.

But then, a series of gasps of cold air began to be heard.

"Wow! Am I dreaming? There are actually such beautiful women in this world."

"My God, what a beautiful woman! Is she an angel?"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, this guy looks familiar! Where have I seen him before?"

Thoth and his companion entered the bar amidst the stares of the crowd and found an empty table to sit down comfortably.

Soon, a waiter came up and asked me to order the restaurant's signature drinks.

Thoth carefully observed the diverse group of people in the hall.

Amidst the renewed cacophony of sounds.

At one of the tables, when he saw the group of people sitting there, a glimmer of hope appeared in Toth's eyes.

A burly man with burgundy spiky hair, his bare upper body wrapped in several iron chains, wearing sunglasses, and with a vertical blue-green stripe tattoo above his left eye.

Treasure Hunter. Mad Torega.

"Where are the ability users?!"

Thoth could see the iron chains on his body clearly; they looked as if they were growing out of him.

However, at this moment, Thoth's gaze passed over the man and woman sitting next to him and landed on a short purple-haired girl standing behind him with an iron chain collar around her neck.

She's about the same age as Nami, naturally beautiful, with a bit of baby fat on her face.

Her light blue eyes seemed somewhat dim at the moment, but Thoth did not sense any negative emotions such as despair from her.

Karina.

Thoth, a former colleague whom Nami considered a friend, recognized her.

I never expected to run into them here.

However, at this moment, Thoth's gaze did not linger on her for long, but naturally moved past her and then stopped at another table not far away.

A notorious gang of pirates.

King Bear, captain of the Poker Pirates, with a bounty of 960 million Berries.

On one side of him sat a blonde young woman, and on the other side sat an unusually obese and chubby pirate.

Sweet Queen and Jack Pig.

They are all wanted pirates.

A few seconds later, Thoth spotted another group of pirates who were quite famous.

The Black Cat Pirates, currently led by Captain Django, with the Catman Brothers as his second-in-command.

As Toth sized them up, most of the people in the hall also looked over.

The malicious gazes intensified. Thoth looked over and saw not only pirates but also his fellow bounty hunters.

"Mr. Toth, your drinks."

The waiter came over and brought over the drinks and three plates of fruit from the tray.

Thoth looked surprised: "You recognize me?"

The waiter wore a perfectly measured, standard smile.

"Of course, your name is quite famous in the surrounding waters."

presumably,

You came specifically for the auction at 10 AM the day after tomorrow, right?

At this point, the waiter smiled apologetically:

"This auction was jointly convened by several big bosses on our Glass Pearl Island and a big shot in the underworld."

Therefore, fighting is prohibited in this bar before the auction. We hope you can understand.

These fruit platters are a small token of our appreciation from our shop; we hope you like them.

After saying this, the waiter bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Thoth took a sip of his wine, a subtle look in his eyes. He met Nojiko's gaze, and Nojiko's eyes clearly showed surprise.

"They say it's some big shot in the underworld? I wonder who it could be."

Upon hearing this, Thoth smiled:

"They're nothing more than those six big bosses who have expanded their businesses almost all over the world!"

As he spoke, Tot gestured to Noki to look at a white flag on the wall behind the bar.

A round, skull-like smiley face pattern, adorned with a circle of curly hair.

Among the six major bosses of the underworld, the God of Fortune and the King of Loans stands as a symbol.

"You're that weapon? I'm Dafus. Want to cooperate with me?"

A voice came, and then a figure sat down in the chair opposite the table.

059. Fame!

"Run away, run away! Karina, you have to think of a way to escape quickly!"

Karina felt the heavy weight of the chains around her neck, and though she appeared resigned, she was far from accepting it.

She never imagined that coming to this island and seizing the opportunity when Mad Torega wasn't on the ship to steal the treasure would be such a perfect chance.

Furthermore, she had already removed the chains and locks from the safe and obtained the treasure, but she never expected that the guy could sense her chain creation from a distance.

The person in question suddenly returned and caught her off guard.

They were caught red-handed.

Leaving aside the beating with iron chains,

If she hadn't been incredibly quick-witted and promptly reported that she would use her treasure, which she had hidden elsewhere, to buy her life, she probably would have been hanged on the spot by that guy's thick, hard iron chains.

He has been keeping me chained up like a dog for three days now.

There was no way to escape.

The great wisdom upon which they depended for survival was utterly crushed by the power of the barbarians.

If you stay even a little distance away from him, he will sense you through the iron chain around your neck.

Then the chains were manipulated to tighten, almost snapping her neck, which is why she doesn't dare to stray more than a hundred meters away from him now.

But she knew in her heart that even if she gave him her treasure later, she would probably have no way to survive.

As for her request to join his ship, she was ridiculed from the very beginning, as he didn't want a weak woman like herself who had no power.

Therefore, we must save ourselves, and this place is the opportunity. It is said that there will be an auction of a sea treasure, such as a Devil Fruit, the day after tomorrow.

Those who can come here are all powerful and ruthless figures from the East China Sea.

Many of them are no less capable than him.

We need to find a way to create chaos.

You must find an opportunity as soon as possible to get away from him amidst the chaos.
