*Slap!* Joseph slapped him on the back of the head, his face cold.

"As expected of the Hundred-Piece Clues, your plan is truly dirty!"

Zango immediately let out a scream, crying and blaming all the filth on Kro, saying that he was only forced into it.

Nami gave him a look of disgust, but then she looked at Thoth and sighed:

"Just as you said, that cunning Kro really lives up to his reputation!"

Thoth looked at Zango, “Take us to find Kro, do me a favor, and then hand over the money to buy my life.”

You can leave alive after that.

Zango quickly looked up at Thoth, his eyes filled with immense surprise:

"Yes, yes, as long as you spare my life, I'll do anything."

Thoth then looked at Nami: "You're a professional at scavenging."

Nami understood immediately and greeted Johnny and Joseph with a smile, and they happily followed Nami.

Seeing that he hadn't developed any arrogant thoughts after becoming stronger, Thoth's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction.

Sure enough, these two goofballs weren't the kind of guys who would rebel.

At this moment, Zango's eyes darted around, and he looked at Thoth cautiously, saying, "Lord Thoth, may I get up?"

Thoth glanced at him and nodded:

"Do as you please, as long as you obediently finish the task for me, I will set you free."

Hearing this, Zango gradually calmed down. However, when he glanced at the deck, he felt a pang of unease.

Meanwhile, in a private room on the sixth floor of the auction house, Dragu hung up the Den Den Mushi he was holding, his eyes filled with extreme shock:

"They actually have a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user? An Ancient Zoan dinosaur?"

But soon, his heart burned like wildfire, and jealousy arose in his eyes:

"Damn it, why isn't that powerful force mine?"

"Even so, you must die, weapon. With my abilities, I can destroy your wrecked ship in an instant."

So what if it's an ancient breed? It's just a flightless ground-dwelling chicken, a landlubber.

A sinister and ruthless glint appeared in his eyes. Recalling the mocking look in Toth's eyes before he left not long ago, he gritted his teeth:

"If you're so capable, then don't leave here. If you dare to go out to sea, your death is imminent."

Even within the Feld Company, he wasn't just a nobody; in the East China Sea, he was one of the top figures in the underworld.

The humiliation is an irreconcilable enmity.

However, when he thought of the three beautiful girls beside that kid, his eyes were filled with jealousy and greed.

The Black Cat Pirate Ship was sold for ten million Berries, and Nami found the ship's logbook and ten million Berries' worth of treasure on board.

The group returned to the ship with their spoils.

When Zango saw Nokiko, he was absolutely amazed, and his eyes immediately lit up with hearts.

*Slap!* Johnny slapped him to the ground on the deck, his face cold as he cursed:

"Stop looking like that, you think you can just look at Sister Noki anytime you want?"

Nami saw this scene and pursed her lips speechlessly; this scene seemed very familiar.

Thoth glanced at Zango, then turned back to them: "Raise anchor, set sail, and head to that deserted island first."

Johnny Joseph acted immediately.

Nami nodded with a grin: "Leave it to me, I know where that island is!"

Soon, the Breaking Waves ship sailed away from the port.

073. The Attack of the Hunters!

The sun is shining brightly today.

White clouds drift lazily in the sky, and the azure sea is calm and tranquil.

The Breaking Waves sailed on the sea, leaving a long white trail in its wake.

on deck,

Zango, carrying a rag and a bucket, was scrubbing the floor with great effort under Joseph's supervision.

Joseph supervised him while mastering his own steel abilities.

Johnny enters a half-beast form and engages in intense physical training on the deck.

Nami guided the course, Karina steered the ship, and Nojiko prepared lunch in the kitchen.

Everyone has their own things to do.

Stern balcony.

Thoth leaned against the fence, holding Tyrfing in his hand. The breath of all things resonated within the sword's veins, and Tyrfing remained serene.

Thoth gathered his essence, energy, and spirit, slowly guiding it into the meridians of the sword to condense it once, and then returning it to his own body.

They sensed that their wonderful connection with each other was constantly deepening through the resonance and interaction of their life trajectories.

The rebellious spiritual instinct within the sword, resonating with Thoth's consciousness, was perceived by Thoth and continuously assimilated and mastered through the power of the weapon's edge.

Gradually, it takes on its own shape.

In this state, Thoth realized from the sword's spiritual instincts a characteristic of Tyrfong: that the blade would never be stained with blood.

It greedily devours one's vital energy and spirit.

Blood contains the essence, energy, and spirit of a living being.

Not getting blood on your hands means you're drawing blood.

It can grow by consuming metallic elements in the blood of organisms.

Heavy, tough, and sharp.

A demonic weapon, buried by time, has now been unearthed by me.

Thoth knew that demon swords generally had growth potential and would gradually change depending on the master's domineering aura and the nurturing they received in battle.

Looking at the heavy longsword in his hand, a strange light appeared in Thoth's eyes.

A weapon with great potential.

As if sensing Thoth's approval, a bluish-gray luster appeared on the blade of Tyrwind, and the power that devoured Thoth's essence and spirit quietly increased.

How mischievous!

The combined might of the weapon crashed down with a deafening roar, and the sword's spirit, under Thoth's domineering nature, instantly became docile again.

It became quiet.

Although he had never survived the eagle's or ridden the wild horse, Thoth's patience was never lacking.

Master of military strategy, warlord, overlord—Thoth never believed that Tyrfong could cause any trouble in his hands.

"Hmm? It really is you."

Suddenly, within the range of Thoth's Observation Haki, an aura was approaching at an extremely fast speed.

Dragu.

"Although I had this suspicion, I didn't expect you would actually dare to come?"

Thoth has been in the spotlight these past few days. While on Glass Pearl Island, there were quite a few paparazzi taking pictures of him, which he was not unaware of, but he just felt there was no need to pay attention to it.

If Drago also sent people to keep watch over him, then he would probably know about Johnny becoming an Ancient One.

However, it's no longer important to think about these things now; we've already moved on.

Moreover, the visitor is not well-intentioned.

Thoth turned and shouted towards the deck:

"Nami, you take Karina and hide first. That guy Drago is coming to get revenge on me."

Upon hearing this, Nami, who was at the bow of the ship, returned to the ship without saying a word and stayed with Nojiko, along with Karina.

On the deck, Johnny and Joseph instantly became alert.

However, following Thoth's admonition, he became outwardly relaxed but inwardly tense.

Within minutes, Thoth saw a three-meter-long, brownish-gray bird with a red beak hurtling towards him from hundreds of meters in the sky.

Based on its appearance, Thoth recognized the bird as a red-billed oxpecker.

A parasitic bird that feeds on blood.

Thoth saw him, but pretended not to care. Through these few days of contact and probing, Thoth had already realized that he did not possess the power of Observation Haki.

From hundreds of meters in the air, Drago, in his bird-beast form, clearly saw Thoth's figure, a cruel glint in his eyes.

He moved with incredible speed, swooping down from high above towards the sloop.

Meanwhile, Thoth had already quietly arrived at the second-floor staircase, sensing with his Observation Haki that Thoth's presence was drawing ever closer.

100 meters, 30 meters, 8 meters.

At that very moment, the Dragug bird suddenly spun in mid-air, gathering its strength.

The air currents converge and compress on the wings, and through a certain martial arts technique, a violent vacuum slash is unleashed.

"Hahaha, you damn brat, this is what happens when you offend me."

Dragu's maniacal laughter suddenly erupted.

At the same time, Thoth concentrated his energy and spirit into Tyr's Blade, and his figure suddenly shot out. In the blink of an eye, Thoth's figure had already appeared in mid-air.

Drago stared in disbelief at Thoth, who had suddenly appeared in the sky. Before he could gather his strength, he swung his right wing out fiercely.

Just then, a lightning-fast bluish-gray vertical slash suddenly erupted from Thoth's two-handed greatsword.

clang!
