One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

A true beauty in the making.

Karina noticed Thoth scrutinizing her, her eyes fixed on him. After a moment, Karina looked away.

"By the way, Mad Torega has his own treasure on his ship, at least tens of millions of Berries."

"Let me take you there to find it!"

Thoth's eyes flickered slightly, and a faint smile curved his lips:

"Alright, then lead the way. And while you're at it, tell me how you got caught."

The renowned phantom thief Karina has actually been caught. That's quite amusing.

Upon hearing this, Karina's eyes twitched involuntarily, and her gaze towards Thoth became subtle. She said embarrassedly:

"Can I not say it? It's so embarrassing."

Tuo nodded, "Whether he tells me or not is no longer important; I can guess the general situation anyway."

Just like Nami, she also fell for my tricks back then.

Karina, who was leading the way, suddenly turned around, her light blue eyes suddenly brightening:

"Tell me more, I want to hear Nami's embarrassing story... oh no, I mean, how Nami and you met."

Thoth's eyes narrowed slightly. He was certain that he hadn't misheard. This girl was, without a doubt, quite the entertainer!

"You can ask Nami later."

Karina's lips twitched suddenly, and she squinted at Thoth, complaining, "I'm afraid she'll scratch me if she gets angry. Once that girl gets angry, she's like a savage."

His grip was incredibly strong.

The two walked and talked, and with Karina leading the way, they arrived at another part of the port.

Beneath a two-masted sailing ship about forty meters long, one could sense twelve different auras emanating from it.

With a slight shift in his gaze, Toth grabbed her by the back of her collar and jumped directly onto the boat.

On the deck.

The person above saw Karina and Thoth and was about to speak when Thoth unleashed his domineering and fierce aura.

Immediately, Mad Torega's subordinates on the ship were like quails with their necks pinched, not daring to move.

“Mad Torega and the others were asking for it; I’ve already taken them down.”

065. A Twisted Fate!

Thoth calmly looked at the people on the ship, and in an instant, their pupils shrank, though their faces only turned pale and nothing else was wrong.

But in Thoth's Observation Haki, he sensed negative emotions containing malice, hatred, and fear.

see,

He drew his sword.

戮！

A moment later,

Karina found a merchant guild that operated in the port, and Mad Torega's ship was sold for 1350 million.

The money and goods were settled.

Adding the 8900 million peso looted from Mad Torrega's ship, that brings in a further 1 million peso.

At the port, Thoth watched as the merchant guild members sailed away with the treasure hunters' ship.

Carrying two suitcases, Karina, having gained a preliminary understanding of Thoth's style of doing things, looked at Thoth with a hint of awe in her eyes.

He killed all the treasure hunters on the ship after saying only one sentence.

All of this had a significant impact on her.

Even though she had witnessed countless killings in the past.

"Are you afraid of me? Do you think I'm capricious and murderous?"

Thoth asked her, and Karina was taken aback, then her eyes filled with panic.

"He killed because of me. Now I'm afraid of him. Am I being ungrateful? Is he angry?"

Will he think I'm an ingrate? 'Without realizing it, she had begun to care about Thoth's opinion of her.'

Thoth couldn't read minds, but calmly said to her, "You probably haven't heard of the power of Haki, have you?"

My Observation Haki allows me to perceive the various emotions emanating from biological instincts.

They harbored ill will towards me. Of course, that's only one of the reasons.

Thoth gave her a brief explanation of the power of dominance.

Karina's eyes widened in surprise. Was he trying to explain to her? He didn't want her to misunderstand him because of this, but why was he doing this?

He was just a former colleague who had some connection with Nami.

“Nami and I recommended you. You are a very smart and capable person, and I am quite interested in you.”

Toth noticed her concerns and explained to her at that moment:

"It's someone I like, so I'm willing to explain it to you."

Karina's eyes widened. Although she had considered this possibility, she hadn't expected Thoth to be so direct, and she felt a little guilty.

"Capable? No, no, I'm no match for people like you who possess great power."

Thoth smiled and said, "Physical strength can be acquired through training and cultivation, but intelligence is innate."

Nami is also very smart, but you managed to make her suffer repeated defeats at your hands. You ended up in the hands of a ruthless guy like Mad Torega who only cares about money and not people.

Being able to preserve your physical and mental integrity proves that you are not a simple person.

You possess sophisticated lock-picking and mechanism-breaking skills, and your ability to analyze intelligence and devise strategic plans is outstanding.

He's a very good genius.

Karina stared intently into Tot's eyes, never expecting that she would be so highly regarded by him.

I couldn't help but feel a little smug.

A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

She was already pouting from all the praise.

"Want to come aboard my ship? It's very risky to be adrift on this vast ocean all by yourself."

With your intelligence, surely you can see through this?

And once you're on my ship, I'll teach you how to become stronger.

Toth spoke to her sincerely.

Karina blinked, considering Thoth's invitation. She was tempted, not only because Thoth had saved her, but also because Nami was there.

Nami is just as wary as I am, and the only man who can put Nami at ease...

He's definitely not that kind of despicable person. His character is certainly commendable.

Even so, she wouldn't easily trust him. The reason she could live freely as a phantom thief on the high seas was because of her keen sense of vigilance.

In the past, she considered herself a free spirit, a woman who would never stop her free pace for anyone.

However, feeling the weight of the suitcase in my hand, this man's ability to make money is terrifying. If I follow him, I should be able to live a better life in the future.

He doesn't seem like the kind of ordinary, handsome man who's content to stay in one place.

Karina became a phantom thief initially because she wanted to live a free and respectable life.

However, after spending a long time at sea, she gradually came to enjoy the unique thrill and exhilaration of stealing treasures from the powerful using her wits.

What she loved most was the freedom of lying on her stolen treasure pile after taking a bath, drinking fine red wine, singing and dancing.

However, this time, she encountered the biggest setback of her life, and one wrong move could completely ruin her.

Her intelligence was completely rendered useless in the face of absolute violence.

She recognized her own shortcomings.

she thinks,

If it weren't for Toth this time, she might have diligently studied and trained her planning and camouflage skills after her possible escape.

But reality doesn't offer "what ifs".

However, she felt that it wouldn't be unacceptable if she could team up with the interesting Nami and the powerful him in the future.

"Well? How about we spend some time together first and see how it goes?"

Her womanly reserve and her long-standing sense of vigilance prevented her from making any definitive statements all at once.

As she finished speaking, Karina nervously glanced at Thoth, but when she saw that Thoth did not answer her, she began to feel guilty.

Thoth looked at her. This girl was a bit indecisive. Was she really that wary?

However, it's not entirely incomprehensible.

I'm not the kind of person who's arrogant and has opinions about the heavens.

Seeing that Thoth remained silent, Karina felt considerable pressure. She sensed that Thoth was probably unhappy. After a few seconds, her lips twitched slightly, and she said with a hint of helplessness:

"Well, actually, I'd really like to be your companion. I'm very grateful to you for saving me, but we're not very familiar with each other yet."

I have many flaws, and I'm worried that you might not like me.

It's really not that I'm hesitating or looking down on you.

What is she doing? A strange look appeared in Tote's eyes. What was she imagining?

Do smart people all overthink?

Seeing this, Thoth became interested, reached out and placed his hand on her head, and laughed:

"So you want to be my companion? Then just say so. I agree. As for your shortcomings, don't worry. As long as you don't betray me, I will tolerate your shortcomings."

Karina's mouth opened slightly, and her eyes widened involuntarily, but he had already said so much, how could she refuse?
