One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

063. Mad Torega!

Do you know how many there are here?

As Nami approached Thoth, her orange eyes shone as if they had transformed into the symbol of Beli.

The girl's excitement was palpable.

Thoth patted her head and smiled, "You're amazing, you've worked hard."

Nami blinked, a brighter smile spreading across her face as she proudly raised her delicate chin.

"Of course! Don't you know who I am? This kind of thing is nothing to me!"

Then, he asked Thoth curiously, "Shall we retreat now? Or will you continue hunting pirates?"

Thoth's eyes flashed as he looked to his right. "I'll see you off first."

With Nami by his side, they pushed open a door on the right and arrived at the innermost part of the room in front of a bulkhead.

With a flick of his sword, several flashes of cold light appeared on the ship's wall. Thoth kicked up the wall, and with a bang, a wooden plank flew out, creating a hole. On the other side was another cabin. He quickly led Nami to the lower part of the ship's wall in this cabin and swung his sword again, slicing through the wall once more.

In the blink of an eye, a two-meter hole appeared in the hull, and the sea breeze blew in. Nami immediately saw Johnny and the small boat on the sea dozens of meters away. At the same time, Johnny heard the noise and looked over.

He immediately waved his hand vigorously.

Thoth nodded to him, then looked at Nami and smiled slightly.

"Are you ready?"

"Huh?" Nami turned around, but just then, Thoth grabbed Nami's waistband with his left hand and lifted her up in one swift motion.

He then placed his palm on her waist and hips, and in an instant threw her away.

Nami couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!" as her figure traced a perfect parabola in mid-air.

However, Nami is no longer the same as before. Using her paper-drawing technique, she rides the wind and adjusts her direction in mid-air. In less than two breaths, she is already close to the small boat.

Johnny was a little nervous when he saw this. He quickly looked up and opened his arms to catch his older sister Nami.

But at that moment, Nami suddenly lowered her center of gravity, bent her legs slightly, and stepped down, her feet landing on Johnny's face and chest with a loud thud.

Johnny was stomped on the deck, and at the same time, two streaks of blood flew out.

When Nami saw this, she quickly got off him and saw the pattern of her shoe sole imprinted on his face, with two streaks of blood flowing from his nose. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue and quickly apologized and pulled him up.

Thoth's lips twitched as he watched, while Johnny looked at Nami with a resentful expression: "Big sister Nami, you can step on my shoulder, can't you?"

Nami turned her face away guiltily: "I'm sorry! How about I ask Nojiko to make you a special nutritious meal later?"

Johnny's eyes lit up immediately, but then he said guiltily, "Isn't that inappropriate?"

Nami patted her chest and said confidently:

“That’s fine. When she gives Tote special treatment, she can bring you some too.”

Johnny beamed with delight upon hearing this, "Great! I'll be so envious of Joseph!"

"Thoth, are you coming back with us?"

Nami called out, and Thoth smiled and said, "You guys go back first, I'll go find you a little gift."

Upon hearing this, Nami became curious, but she quickly nodded and rowed away with Johnny.

Thoth watched the two leave, then heard the shouts of battle coming from the upper deck. His eyes flickered, and he turned around, using his Observation Haki to sense Karina's presence.

However, this cabin...

After looking around, and using the light from the hole, it became clear that this was still a pirate's room.

Soon, an ashtray full of cigarette butts and a lighter were found on a low table. With a crackling sound, the hammock was lit.

Several bottles of cheap liquor from the corner were poured onto the floor, and after a few breaths, flames rose up.

A pungent smell filled the air, and the wind blew in through the breach in the ship's hull, causing the raging flames to spread rapidly in all directions.

A heatwave swept over Tote, and seeing this, Tote quickly left the area.

……

Karina frantically searched the cabin, quickly analyzing the situation with her quick wit, but a hint of hesitation flickered in her eyes:

"Should we really believe him?"

In a flash, a cold smile appeared on her lips: "If I really believed you, then I would have lived all these years in vain."

Her keen senses allowed her to perceive that there was fighting and looting going on everywhere on the ship's deck and the lower levels.

Karina bit her lip lightly, "But I can't just run away. I need to find some treasure to protect myself, so I won't be unable to escape later."

"I need to be able to deliver on my mission and protect myself first."

“But,” Karina suddenly thought of Thoth, “does he really know Nami? And he knows me too?”

Thinking of her ill-fated relationship with Nami, Karina's eye twitched. "What if Nami and Weapon Thoth are in cahoots..."

If I get caught by the weapon, Nami will definitely laugh at me to death, right?

no, do not want.

Absolutely not! Her pride wouldn't allow Nami to see her in such a disheveled state.

They immediately moved quickly and carefully through the various compartments.

In the corridor, she suddenly noticed the nameplate of a cabin near the bow of the ship.

His eyes lit up and he ran over immediately, but before he had taken more than a few steps, the strong smell of smoke wafted over him.

Suddenly, a light footstep sounded, and Karina quickly stopped.

At that moment, Thoth emerged from a room in front of her.

As soon as he stepped outside, Thoth naturally turned his head and calmly looked at Karina, who was standing three meters away, looking at him with a wary yet somewhat bewildered expression.

“Nami is on my ship, she’s my navigator. She’s talked about your relationship with her, and we’ve been looking for you for quite some time.”

At this point, seeing Karina's slightly widened, stunned expression, Thoth chuckled softly:

"But I never expected to meet you under such an interesting circumstance."

"Is it really Nami?"

Karina couldn't help but look at Thoth with shame in her eyes.

Seeing this, Thoth chuckled, then looked at the iron chain collar around her snow-white neck:

"Come here first, I'll take this thing off your neck. It feels weird talking to you with that on."

Karina instinctively reached for the chain collar around her neck, her pretty face flushing red, and her distinct toes digging into her sandals.

awkward.

She wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

Despite the embarrassment, she unconsciously moved in front of Thoth and looked down at the girl who only reached her chest.

Karina looked up, her eyes filled with anxiety, and said, "Mad Torega can sense his chain creations. If they are strongly disturbed, he will come immediately."

Within 100 meters..."

As soon as Karina finished speaking, a red light flashed in Tot's eyes, and he reached out and grabbed the chains. In the breath of all things, the "life veins" of the chains appeared in his perception.

Consciousness resonates with its pulse, and the vital energy and spirit are drawn together.

The muscles in his arms suddenly bulged, and all the strength in his body was transmitted into them. Then, he exerted force and pulled his hands sharply to both sides.

The "lifeline" of the iron chain was broken through a gap by Tote's domineering force.

Crack...bang...a crisp sound of steel breaking rang out.

Karina was stunned. Such a strong iron chain had been torn apart by him with his bare hands.

Clang!

The broken chain was tossed aside, and with his hands on her shoulders, Thoth laughed, "What about within a hundred meters?"

Karina stared blankly and said, "...He can manipulate the chains to change their shape."

A thoughtful look flashed in Toth's eyes:

"It has a pretty good ability to be free, but the intensity isn't that great."

Are you kidding me?

Karina's eyes widened, and Thoth, observing her expression, smiled slightly.

"Alright, you're free now."

Karina was stunned for a moment, and for some reason, her nose felt a little sore. "Thank you!"

Thoth smiled, but just then, Boom! A loud explosion rang out, and the cabin wall not far away shattered.

Immediately afterwards, a series of crisp rattling sounds of iron chains rang out.

Karina shuddered and quickly turned around. At that moment, amidst the flying sawdust, Mad Torega, shirtless, appeared.

His eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, were fixed on this side. He saw Karina, who had escaped, and also saw Thoth standing behind her.

"Cha la la la la! Weapon, you bastard, what do you mean by this? Where are you taking my spoils?"

Mad Torega's temples bulged with veins as he coldly interrogated Thoth.

Thoth remained calm, placing his left hand on Karina's right shoulder and pulling her behind him. He stepped forward to shield her from view, and Karina looked at the tall, imposing figure in front of her, her mouth slightly agape.

“Items?” Thoth looked at him expressionlessly. “Kalina is my friend.”

"Do you want to die, you piece of trash!"

Thoth drew his sword, and his aura exploded forth, instantly lowering the air pressure in the entire corridor.

Mad Torega's pupils contracted sharply, but he defiantly raised his own imposing aura.

"Are you going to make an enemy of me? For a mere lowly thief?"

Karina stared blankly at Thoth, whose broad back was like a mountain. Was this the sense of security that Nami possessed?

I'm a little envious.
