One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

However, at this moment, a look of surprise appeared in Tote's eyes as he looked at the light screen panel in front of him.

Combat Skill Proficiency +101

Not only that, Thoth could clearly sense that his aura had become more refined and also possessed a peculiar sharpness.

A thought stirred within him: 'Weapons like demon swords don't inherently devour their masters; rather, they are beyond the control of the weak. But once mastered, they bring a wondrous reward to the wielder.'

"This is a unique method of cultivating one's essence, energy, and spirit. I wonder if, after transforming one's essence, energy, and spirit through Tyrfeng again, the improvement will be as significant as this time?"

Thinking of this, Thoth stopped pondering it and instead looked at them with a faint smile:

"I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine. It's just that this sword was a bit mischievous, but it's alright now."

Thoth looked at the Tyr's Blade in his hand, sensing that its spirituality had now become stable.

With a faint smile on his face, Thoth felt a sense of connection with it that was now both close and distant.

I believe that it won't be long before I can completely master it.

At that moment, Thoth looked at the Steel Fruit in Nami's hand and smiled, "Any ideas?"

Nami blinked and shook her head, but then she grinned and said:

"And what about you? Becoming a body of steel should be very useful to you too, right?"

Thoth's eyes flickered slightly. "It's tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away."

After glancing at them, Thoth then looked at Nojiko and said with a smile, "Go and get that Zoan-type."

A moment later, Thoth, holding two Devil Fruits in his hands, looked at Johnny and Joseph and said:

"A Zoan-type Ancient Species, Giganotosaurus form, and a Metal-Steel Fruit."

Are you two interested?

Johnny Joseph stared at Thoth with his mouth agape in disbelief.

"Brother Toth, you're giving this to us? What have we done to deserve this?"

"This is too valuable. We can't accept it."

Thoth chuckled softly: "If you're a man, stop being so wishy-washy. Both of these Devil Fruits are pretty good abilities."

072. A dual-ability user! Thumbs up!

The two men approached Thoth with solemn expressions, their eyes filled with an indescribable tremor.

It's a feeling of being moved, respecting, and yearning; it's the kind of feeling that a junior officer like Johnny/Joseph would be willing to go through fire and water for his boss for generations.

Thoth then explained the advantages and disadvantages of the two fruits, and the two considered it carefully.

They each chose the one that best suited their own personality.

Johnny is agile and daring in battle, and he chose the Ancient Zoan type Giant Beast Dragon Fruit.

Joseph prefers to strike first and counterattack after being caught off guard in battle, and the Iron-Steel Fruit gives him a greater advantage in endurance.

on the deck.

The two of them were excited, holding the Devil Fruit very carefully. After looking at Thoth carefully, they opened their mouths wide and took a bite.

Completely unconcerned about whether it tasted good or bad, they ate it all in just a few bites.

Just as their faces turned ashen from the smell, a change quietly took place.

Johnny's body underwent a dramatic transformation, his bones cracking and popping. In the blink of an eye, a massive prehistoric carnivorous dinosaur exuding a savage and ferocious aura appeared on the deck.

The dragon's lithe body was covered with a hard, iron-gray skin with crocodile-skin patterns.

The enormous, exaggerated dragon's mouth was filled with cold, white, sharp teeth like daggers.

Its bright yellow beast eyes gleamed with a fierce light, like searchlights.

A thick, long, and well-proportioned dragon tail.

It is nearly twelve meters long and about six meters tall, wow!

A roar filled with exhilaration and wildness instantly resounded through the sky.

Immediately afterwards, Johnny's body shrank rapidly, transforming into a three-meter-tall orc form with strong, curved legs, a lithe torso, long arms, sharp claws, and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

The intensity of his aura increased several times over.

A smile appeared in Tote's eyes; a superb sandbag hand was born at this moment.

At the same time, Thoth looked at Joseph, who was not far away, and Joseph looked curiously at his hands, which had turned into a dark, steely color.

At that moment, noticing Thoth's gaze, his eyes lit up, and a fiery red light suddenly appeared from his arms—Bear! In the blink of an eye, the sleeves on his arms were instantly reduced to ashes and vanished, and the air was instantly distorted by the high temperature that emanated from his arms.

Waves of intense heat emanated from his blazing red arms and spread outwards.

The current temperature is at least several hundred degrees Celsius.

Seeing this, Thoth sensed the aura emanating from the two of them, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Devil Fruits truly live up to their reputation as legendary treasures of the sea. The combined aura of these two is no less powerful than that of pirate captains in the East Blue with bounties of around ten million.

At this moment, Thoth turned his head and looked at the harbor below. Many people were exclaiming in panic, frightened by Johnny's shout. The scene was somewhat chaotic.

"Hmm? It's them."

Thoth glanced at a black cat-headed pirate ship not far away and sensed the presence of Zango on it.

Thoth looked at Johnny Joseph:

"Come with me, I'll take you to test your abilities."

The two were taken aback for a moment, then became eager to try.

Nami ran quickly to Thoth's side and grabbed his arm, her eyes sparkling with interest: "What? I want to go too!"

Thoth smiled and tilted his head:

"Then follow."

Johnny Joseph's body quickly returned to normal, and he jumped off the ship with Tot Nami.

Noki and Karina exchanged a glance. Seeing the eagerness in Karina's eyes, she smiled and said, "If you want to go, then go with me."

Upon hearing this, Karina thought for a moment:

"Never mind, I won't cause them any trouble right now."

Soon, the four arrived at the foot of the Black Cat Pirates' ship, and Thoth led Nami as they leaped onto the deck.

In an instant, all eyes turned to them.

Zango, sitting under the mainmast, stared at Thoth with his mouth agape in disbelief, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"Weapon Master...Thoth?"

Bang bang!

Two heavy objects landed, and Johnny Joseph appeared on either side of Thoth.

Thoth looked at Zango, the cat-man brothers whose expressions had changed drastically, and the dozens of pirate sailors on the ship. Without saying a word, he waved his right hand forward.

Without a word, Johnny Joseph, who was positioned on Thoth, unleashed his power and charged forward.

Johnny instantly transformed into the beastman form of the giant dragon, drew his twin swords from his waist, and with a wild grin, charged straight into the crowd.

Joseph's left arm turned as black as steel in an instant, then rose up crimson, and he also charged forward, gripping the hilt of his knife with his right hand.

The two charged into the pirate group.

Johnny, wielding two swords in a dual-wielding style, unleashed a flurry of blades, causing chaos and destruction in his wake. The savage strength and agility of the giant dragon had transformed him into a ferocious and bloodthirsty beast.

Joseph held a shield in his left hand and a cleaver in his right, which transformed into streaks of cold light as he charged through the crowd.

The pirates screamed in agony.

Buzz, the fat one of the Catmen Brothers, was slashed down by Johnny in a single exchange, bleeding profusely.

Skinny Sam launched a vicious sneak attack on Johnny from behind, but was sent flying by a tail lash. Joseph, who was then spotted, caught up and delivered a fiery iron elbow strike to Johnny's lower back, sending him flying sideways with a scream.

Nami watched this overwhelming scene with a hint of envy in her eyes, and she sighed:

"Their raw strength is now such that they're guaranteed to be second or even third among us. Devil Fruit abilities, sometimes they really are unreasonable."

Thoth smiled, and then, seeing Johnny had caught up with the fleeing Zango, shouted, "Johnny, bring him here!"

Zango was forced to kneel before Toth, his heart-shaped sunglasses slipping off his face, a snot dripping from his nose, and his eyes filled with intense fear.

"Lord Thoth, spare my life! I have money; I'll use my money to buy my life."

Nami's eyes lit up immediately, "How much?"

Zango looked at Nami in a panic. Just then, Johnny slapped him hard on the back of the head, his voice icy cold.

"Who told you to look up at Nami? You just answer whatever Nami asks you."

Joseph had already dealt with the remaining pirates and arrived at the other side of Django.

A cold gaze fixed on him.

His head was buzzing, but Zang Gao, suppressing his dizziness, quickly spoke:

"I have hidden 20 million Berries on a deserted island not far from here. I'll give you all my money, I just beg you gentlemen to let me go this time."

Nami looked at Thoth with sparkling eyes: "Should we release it?"

Thoth looked down at Zango, "Letting you go isn't impossible, but raise your head and answer one question for me first."

"Is Baiji.Kro really dead?"

In an instant, Zango's body trembled and his heart pounded. He looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at Thoth. But when he saw Thoth's calm and deep black eyes...

What Captain Crowe? I don't know him.

He nodded quickly, "No, no, Captain Crowe is not dead."

Therefore, faced with the choice between his own life and the secret of Chloe, he decisively chose the former.

Zango's words were concise and to the point, revealing all of Kro's dirty secrets.

Hypnotize Monka of Branch 153, escape by faking his death as a double and using the alias Krabatel, and infiltrate the home of a famous tycoon, preparing various assassination plans to seize his family fortune.
