One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

A mocking glint appeared in Toth's eyes, but his words unexpectedly became calm:

"I see. Then may I ask who you are and in what capacity do you speak?"

"My name is Drago, and I am the General Manager of East China Sea Trade under Mr. Du Feld, the King of Loans and a big boss in the underworld."

This auction was jointly organized by several big bosses from Glass Pearl Island and our company.

Furthermore, our company will be responsible for security at the auction.

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of respectful, envious, curious, fearful, and respectful gazes were cast upon Dragu.

This brought a look of satisfaction to the former's eyes.

In the Grand Line Paradise or the New World, he might not be considered a big shot, but in the East Blue, he is definitely among the top tier.

The headquarters agreed to hold the auction in conjunction with them for two reasons: firstly, the Devil Fruits were provided by a big boss from Glass Pearl Island; secondly, the auction brought together ruthless figures from several surrounding seas, allowing their company to select some promising talents to recruit.

"Then why didn't you step in when he started trouble? Now that he's dying, you're telling me to stop? Don't I have any dignity?"

Thoth looked at him calmly.

Dragu's eye twitched. This guy actually dared to disrespect him in public. However, he was indeed in the wrong.

But who could blame him? He also had a share in the Big Bear King's high-quality arms business.

Furthermore, the strong are entitled to privileges, and he was simply trying to see what kind of quality this recently famous weapon enthusiast really was.

I was thinking of checking out the quality first, and if it turned out to be good, then I would try to recruit more.

Unexpectedly, this bear king was such a useless piece of trash. Not only was he defeated in just a few moves, but he also had to come and save his dog's life.

And now, Thoth has publicly pointed out his dereliction of duty, leaving him in an awkward position. A hint of anger flashed in his eyes. This guy is so ungrateful, but as a businessman, he has to abide by the rules.

This is an ironclad rule personally set by their president, Du Feld.

He wasn't forced by Toth's threats, but rather he had to abide by the rules set by the boss.

So he forced a smile:

"This is my fault. I will pay for your expenses here, as long as you spare his life. In addition, I will give you 960 million in compensation afterwards."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room became strange. This important figure from the Grand Line had actually backed down.

"And what about him? What are you going to do with him?"

Thoth asked a question that was both devastating and morally damaging.

Dragu's eye twitched, and Thoth chuckled: "In business, the most important thing is keeping your word. If you don't deal with him, you'll be personally slapping the face of that king of usury."

It was the kind that made a popping sound.

Dragu's face turned ashen. He took a deep breath and then suddenly grinned.

The crisp sound of a slap rang out, and he looked at Thoth expressionlessly:

"That's right, you've hit the nail on the head. Since they dare to break our rules, they must accept the punishment in blood."

Before he could finish speaking, his figure transformed into a blur and suddenly appeared in front of Thoth. Then, his arms suddenly turned into a pair of brownish-yellow wings.

A cold light flashed from the tip of its right wing, and it suddenly swung down, unleashing a slash that cut through the air. With a crack, the Great Bear King's right arm was severed from its shoulder in an instant.

Blood spurted out, and the intense pain brought the Great Bear King back to consciousness. He suddenly sat up from the ground, letting out a shrill scream.

Thump! Suddenly, just as he sat up, a leg flashed past, and Tote delivered a vicious kick to his mouth.

With a snapping sound, most of his teeth were kicked out, blood and broken teeth sprayed out, and his figure was kicked more than ten meters away by Tote.

Drago's pupils constricted, not because of his ruthlessness towards Thoth, but because Thoth's speed surprised him.

"what do you mean?"

As Drago's somber words were spoken, Thoth's eyes flashed, and he suddenly laughed:

"I'm sorry, he suddenly got up and I thought he was going to attack you, so I saved you. Are you... blaming me?"

Dragu's eye twitched violently. He gave Thoth a deep look and mentally labeled him a treacherous scoundrel.

"I see. Well then, thank you in advance."

Toth thought to himself, "A smiling tiger."

At this moment, Dragu's expression calmed down, and he continued, "You can sit down and rest for now. I'll have someone bring you the compensation I promised later."

Thoth chuckled: "No rush, save it for the auction the day after tomorrow, and I'll exchange it for the discount amount on the auctioned items then."

Upon hearing this, Dragu chuckled and said, "Alright, then we'll do it your way."

At this point, he beckoned two bartenders to come and take Big Bear King and his two companions away. After they were done, he looked around the room.

"The unexpected incident has disturbed your enjoyment, which is our fault. I will cover all your expenses this time."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Thoth watched his retreating figure and suddenly grinned: "Is he a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user? Or one of those flying birds?"

A few seconds later, a rustling, mocking sound suddenly came from the hall. Thoth looked around, and Nojiko walked up:

"What are your plans for dealing with those guys afterward?"

Thoth chuckled lightly: "I'm not the kind of person who forgives and forgets easily."

"Let's go, let's get down to business first."

Nojiko blinked, clutching the auction catalog in her hand, and then followed Thoth as the two left the bar.

After the two left, hushed conversations could be heard in the hall.

"If the Great Bear King is seriously injured, does that mean his pirate ship lacks sufficient defensive capabilities?"

"If he's participating in the auction, then he must have a lot of cash on his ship?"

"Ugh! My stomach feels uncomfortable, I need to go to the toilet."

"Oh! My wife is calling me home for dinner."

"Haha, the weather is so nice today, I'm going to go fishing at the beach. I'm definitely not going home empty-handed today."

Instantly, various excuses arose, and figures swarmed out, their targets self-evident.

Mad Torega's lips curled into a slight smile as he saw this and burst into laughter:

"This is really interesting. That weapon guy is really arrogant. Let's go, let's join in the fun."

He immediately led his two companions outside, but then he beckoned, and Karina quickly came over.

Mad Torega grinned:

"I'm giving you a mission: get to the port as fast as you can and steal all the cash from the Great Bear King's ship."

This is your chance. Do it well, and I'll set you free.

Karina's eyes widened slightly:

"Really? You're not kidding me?"

The latter scoffed, "You have no right to negotiate with me."

Karina licked her lips, took a deep breath, and then took off running, heading towards the port.

Upon seeing this, Mad Torega's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery: "What a useful tool, Karina!"

"Let's follow her. That woman is unruly; we can't let her escape."

A burst of laughter rang out, and they quickly gave chase.

Meanwhile, in a room on the sixth floor above the bar, Dragu looked out the window and saw the guys who should have been in the bar leaving all at once.

He turned to look at the bear king sitting on the ground, his arm wound being stitched up by the doctor.

"Your ship and your henchmen are probably doomed, and the funds you brought with you are probably doomed as well."

Upon hearing this, the Great Bear King stared coldly at Dragus, who sneered, "Are you blaming me?"

Do you know that if I don't take care of you, he might use your head to buy wine?

"Have some conscience. You broke the rules this time, even if you're a pirate admiral managing thousands of men."

The Great Bear King took a deep breath, suppressing his rage: "I want him dead."

As he spoke, he looked at Dragu:

"I'll give you all the weapons from next year, worth no less than 500 million Berries. I want you to take him down."

A glint of greed flashed in Dragu's eyes, but he then looked calmly at the beautiful and mature Sweetheart Queen.

The user of the Gooey Gooey Fruit.

“You are now seriously injured and need a true ally. Therefore, for the sake of our alliance, I think you should place one of your officers with me to maintain our connection.”

"I think Sweetheart is pretty good."

Upon hearing this, the Sweet Queen's eyes widened slightly, but seeing that Dragu's appearance was clearly far superior to that of the Great Bear King, she shut her mouth and said nothing.

The Great Bear King glared angrily at Dragu, but since he was now in a stronger position, he could only nod with a dark face.

"Sure, but I want his head right now."

Dragu raised an eyebrow and flatly refused: "No way, that guy isn't weak. I'll wait until he goes out to sea and then take him down at sea."

The Great Bear King's face darkened: "What if he wins the bid for that Devil Fruit?"

Dragus's expression was strange: "Isn't that perfect? ​​Ability users are most afraid of the sea, and that fruit isn't the type that grants the ability to fly."

"No, lend me 300 million Berries. I must get that Devil Fruit."

The Great Bear King suddenly spoke.

062. Hyenas!

What are you dreaming about?

Upon hearing this, Dragu inwardly grumbled, but he shook his head without showing any emotion.

"I'm sorry, we can't come up with that much money in the short term. We can only offer 200 million Berries, but that's clearly not enough to cover the bid."

The Great Bear King's face darkened, and he stared coldly at Dragu. After a few seconds, the smile on Dragu's face gradually disappeared, and suddenly, he sighed softly:
