One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

Through careful observation over the past few days, it appears that his ability to control the chain is limited to a distance of about 100 meters around him. Beyond that, he is unable to control the chain's real-time changes.

Without making a sound, she glanced around the room, her gaze involuntarily landing on the imposing man and woman who had just entered.

She could sense that when the man looked around the room, his gaze lingered on her for a full two seconds.

And the look in his eyes was a little strange, as if he recognized himself.

But she had no recollection of ever having any contact with him.

V. Thoth, the Weapon Master, is a ruthless character who has emerged as a dark horse in the past month or so.

It is said that they have already killed 10 not-so-simple pirate captains.

Karina's gaze unconsciously fell on him. At that moment, she saw the powerful gunslinger-type bounty hunter named Dafas walk past.

"...Would you like to cooperate with me?"

Hearing Dafas's words, Karina pursed her dry lips and her gaze involuntarily fell on Thoth. Thoth raised his eyes slightly, but instead of looking at Dafas, he looked at Karina, who had already glanced at him several times in the past ten seconds.

Their eyes met across the distance. Thoth remained calm, but Karina quickly looked away, only to look back again shortly after.

A subtle, almost imperceptible curve appeared at the corner of Thoth's lips. His lips moved slightly, and he silently uttered a name: "Nami."

Suddenly, Karina, who could read lips, unconsciously widened her eyes slightly, feeling a mixture of disbelief and confusion. She wondered if she had misread Thoth's lips.

He quickly focused his gaze, but at that moment, Thoth's gaze seemed to be fixed on Mad Torega in front of him.

Thoth noticed that Mad Torega was watching him, so he looked at the treasure hunter with curiosity in his eyes and met the gaze of the man whose expression could not be seen behind his sunglasses.

He then calmly withdrew his gaze and focused it on Dafas, who was sitting across the table.

Karina saw this, but Thoth was no longer looking at her. Her light blue eyes couldn't help but glare at Dafas.

"Is something wrong?"

Thoth looked at him calmly. He was a young man in his early twenties with blue hair and blue eyes, a well-proportioned figure, and dressed in a Western cowboy gunslinger outfit.

Dafas's eye twitched. Did he have to be so aloof? Then, Nokiko, who was next to Thoth, turned her head and covered her mouth to chuckle.

Immediately, Dafas looked over upon hearing the sound, his expression turning blank, and a pair of red hearts involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

And it wasn't just him; everyone around who was watching was captivated by the girl's bright smile.

Knock knock!

Dafas tapped the table with his index finger, snapping Dafas back to reality. Thoth smiled faintly at this.

“If I had any ill intentions towards you, in those few seconds of your distraction, my sword would have been enough to cut off your head.”

"Furthermore, you came here to talk, but you're focusing your attention on someone else's female companion. Do you really think I wouldn't draw my sword and kill you?"

Nojiko turned around at the sound and looked at Thoth, blinking her eyes. Her expression quickly turned to one of pleasure.

At this moment, although Toth was smiling, Dafas felt a chill run down his spine.

A little cold sweat seeped out from my back.

"No...don't misunderstand, I..."

He had just finished explaining when he suddenly realized what he had done, and his face flushed red. He had actually reflexively explained it to him.

His face turned pale and then flushed. Seeing this, Thoth glanced at him.

"Alright, you can leave now. I have little interest in someone like you who lacks willpower."

Dafas's mouth was slightly open, his face dark. He wanted to say something harsh, but his instincts as a gunman stopped him.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and with a grim expression, he got up from his seat and left.

"Pfft! Pfft haha! That guy's such a loser!"

"Hahahaha! I can't take it anymore, I'm dying of laughter!"

"Dual-wielder Dafas actually slunk away like that?"

"As expected of the weapon master, Thoth, he really exudes an aura of dominance!"

Dafas's face was ashen, his body stiffened, his cold eyes swept around, and his hands were on the holsters at his waist.

The laughter in the room immediately stopped.

Dafas took a deep breath, didn't look back at Toth or anything, and left the bar without looking back.

Having spent years at sea, he knew perfectly well that sometimes making mindless threats was the most foolish decision. He was a gunman, not some stupid swordsman whose head was filled with muscle and who only knew close combat.

All he knows how to do, and is passionate about, is to find opportunities to headshot someone from a distance.

The bartenders breathed a slight sigh of relief when Dafas left.

Although there are powerful figures from the Grand Line who can keep the atmosphere in the bar.

However, the other party had two main reasons: firstly, he was tasked with being the king of loan sharks, and secondly, he had a bad temper.

However, as if someone had set a bad precedent, another bounty hunter soon came over and sat down opposite Thoth with a burly figure.

He grinned, revealing a mouthful of gleaming white teeth.

"I am Badam, the runner-up in the East China Sea Fighting Island Fighting Tournament two years ago."

"Those weapon-wielding brothers look pretty powerful. How about we go and do some pirate-hunting business together sometime?"

Thoth glanced at him and mumbled something: "Who's the champion?"

Badam's smile vanished, his expression turned grim, and he felt that every word was superfluous. He slammed his fist on the table in anger and turned to leave.

Thoth only glanced at his back. Although the strength of his aura was not bad, it was still somewhat inferior to his own.

Moreover, its intensity was at best among the top ten in the bar's main hall.

At that moment, Badam, who was somewhat famous, was also dismissed with a single sentence.

"Is this weapon guy really that arrogant? He doesn't even look down on Badam?"

"Tell me, is there anyone among us who can make him look at us differently?"

"Ha! Young people like this, who look down on others, are bound to get into big trouble sooner or later. Just you wait and see, someone will eventually stand up for him and teach him a lesson."

The surrounding people were gossiping, but Tote didn't care. Those with brains wouldn't come looking for trouble, and as for those without brains, he could just find an opportunity to take them out.

Then, several more bounty hunters came up to talk to him and try to prove that they were no ordinary people, but Thoth shut them down with a few words.

Thoth was getting a little annoyed.

What he's thinking about now is figuring out as soon as possible whether or not tickets or anything like that will be needed for the auction the day after tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Thoth pushed back his chair, stood up, and walked to the bar amidst a crowd of puzzled and curious gazes.

Thoth sat down on the stool at the bar, looked at the bartender in front of him, and got straight to the point:

"Do I need any kind of admission ticket for the auction the day after tomorrow morning?"

The bartender was clearly stunned, and looked at Thoth with some surprise: "Mr. Thoth, you don't know?"

"Surprised?"

Thoth asked in return, and the bartender nodded somewhat awkwardly, but quickly adjusted his words and said with a smile:

"No matter how you learned about our auction, as long as you can produce ten million Berries by the time you enter at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow, you can participate in our secret auction."

Thoth's eyes flickered slightly. "Can we see the list of items to be auctioned now?"

The bartender blinked, then smiled and nodded, bending down to take a thin booklet with only a few pages from under the bar and placing it on the counter in front of Toth.

Seeing this, he nodded, took the booklet, glanced through it briefly, and smiled:

"How much."

The bartender was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand, saying, "This is free. We give it to every potential customer."

"I was originally planning to give it to you when you left."

Tot nodded, then took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out a 500-dollar bill, and pushed it over.

To the bartender's surprise, Thoth chuckled, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Here, have a drink."

After saying that, Toth picked up the booklet and got up to leave. The bartender looked at the brand-new Pele in front of him, a pleased smile appearing in his eyes.

He accepted it amidst the envious glances of his colleagues.

It seems that this infamous weapons master, Mr. Thoth, is not the cruel and ruthless guy that is rumored to be.

Surprisingly, he was quite polite.

060. You don't know what's good for you!

Some people are happy... while others are angry.

Unlike the bartender, who was in a good mood, the bounty hunters who were dismissed by Thoth with a blank expression all had anger in their eyes.

Even a mere bartender can be offered drinks, but these "strongmen" are treated like trash and easily dismissed.

One by one, anger welled up in their hearts, and then they were furious with themselves.

Unfortunately, we can't afford to offend them.

The weapon's fearsome reputation stems from the fact that it took down 15 pirate crews, several of which were ruthless individuals with bounties in the tens of millions.

"Hahahaha! I told you that weapon looks down on you weak bounty hunters. You all just wait and see, we still have to rely on me, the Great Bear King."

Just as Thoth sat down, at a table not far away, the Great Bear King stood up and mocked everyone present before walking straight towards him.

Nojiko looked at the newcomer with wary eyes, and after the Great Bear King noticed, he suddenly straightened his back even more.

A smile, which he thought was wicked but was actually a bit silly, curled up at the corner of his mouth.

This incredibly beautiful woman was exactly his type.

He sat down on the chair opposite Tote, his bear-like figure, over two meters tall, making the chair creak and groan under his weight.

Thoth raised an eyebrow and looked at the burly man with a thick beard and a broad back.

On his balding forehead, an inverted spade tattoo was branded, looking rather silly.

The Great Bear King's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly grinned:

"I've got my eye on you. Want to be the sixth member of my five poker brothers?"
