One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

A deafening clang of metal clashing suddenly rang out, and the Dragoo's eyes widened abruptly as its body was slammed towards the sea by the immense recoil.

At this moment, thanks to the lightness of his paper-drawn body, Thoth's figure floated up into the sky like drifting catkins, aided by the impact of the airflow.

Dragu's eyes widened in horror. He frantically flapped his wings, managing to steady himself just as his body was about to touch the sea.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to take off again, suddenly, a figure stepped off the railing and swooped down towards him.

Johnny locked onto him, and during the dive, his body rapidly transformed, and a twelve-meter-long ancient, savage behemoth suddenly appeared.

Its streamlined, powerful body, with its gaping maw covered in sharp teeth, lunged fiercely at him.

Drago's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly flapped his wings to move sideways. But at that moment, another figure with fiery red arms swooped down and closed in on him in the blink of an eye, opening its arms to firmly lock his bird neck.

In an instant, the pungent smell of burning fur wafted out, and the intense heat tightened around his neck, causing Drago to let out a scream.

Johnny watched this scene unfold, his downward momentum undiminished. In an instant, he swung his strong, thick, long dragon tail, and with a muffled thud, slammed it heavily onto the back of the bird-beast.

thump! thump!

Two heavy objects fell into the water in succession, splashing up large amounts of water. At this moment, Thoth, who was in mid-air, watched this scene in astonishment.

That resulted in a two-for-one exchange.

With a swift movement, it swooped down from mid-air and plunged into the water with a splash.

Once it enters the seawater.

Thoth then saw that the three non-swimmers had recovered their physical condition.

Watching those figures staring blankly into the sea, helplessly sinking.

Thoth quickly swam over, grabbed Johnny Joseph's hands and legs, and pushed off with his feet to rise to the surface.

With a splash, Thoth used his arms to throw them onto the boat one by one from the sea.

Two loud thuds were heard as heavy objects crashed down.

Then he turned around and dived into the sea to look at the figure that was sinking.

Grasping Tyr's Blade, he charged forward. After a few breaths, he closed in and Thoth swiftly swung his sword. With a hiss, Dragu's left arm was cleanly severed from his shoulder.

Intense pain assaulted his brain; Dragu's eyes bulged, and he opened his mouth, gurgling out a series of bubbles.

He grabbed his hair and carried him towards the sea.

After a while.

On the deck, after bandaging his severed arm, Thoth looked at this great man from the Grand Line, who was chained to the railing like a dead dog by sea stone shackles.

Thoth was shirtless, arms crossed, looking at him with downcast eyes.

Dragu stared wide-eyed in despair at Thoth, unable to comprehend how this would end for him.

Moreover, without his left arm, he can no longer fly.

And this damn guy even has things like sea stone shackles.

Thoth glanced at him, then turned to look at Zango, who was looking at him with a sense of shared sorrow, and waved to him.

Zango hurried over, and Toth's eyes flashed as he said calmly:

"Hypnotize him, get him into a state where he answers whatever I ask."

Can you do it?

Zang Gao nodded and bowed repeatedly, assuring everyone, "Yes, yes, I can do it."

Then, Thoth watched with great curiosity as Zango used his circular saw weapon, which also served as a hypnotic tool, to hypnotize the guy.

But as he watched, Thoth felt a wave of dizziness. He quickly bit his tongue hard, focused his consciousness, and gathered his military aura within his body, finally dispelling the dizziness.

"I'd like to say a few words, and I agree."

Suddenly, Dragu's eyes glazed over, and he looked like a puppet.

clap clap!

Two slaps rang out, and Thoth turned his head to see Nami slapping Johnny and Joseph one by one to wake them up.

Seeing the two looking bewildered, Tote couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, his face utterly speechless. He raised his hand to his forehead and sighed.

"It seems I need to strengthen my willpower!"

"What's your name?" Thoth walked up to Dragu, his voice reaching his ears. The latter slowly raised his head, his gaze vacant, and slowly answered:

“I am Dragu.”

Upon seeing this, Thoth pondered for a moment, then began to inquire about his specific responsibilities in the East China Sea, as well as all the intelligence he knew concerning Du Feld.

After a moment, Thoth's eyes calmed down. Drago didn't know much about Du Feld.

It's just some one-sided stuff.

It doesn't involve any secret information.

However, they did manage to get some information about their methods of communication and their secret outposts scattered throughout the East China Sea and the Grand Line.

He turned to look at Karina, who was taking notes with a pen and paper: "Have you finished writing it all down?"

Karina smiled and nodded.

Then, Thoth's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at him again and asked:

"Do you know the Six Styles of the Navy, or other advanced martial arts, or anything related to Haki?"

It's always good to ask around, like killing two birds with one stone.

Dragus's face was blank:

"I don't know the Six Styles of the Navy. The martial art I practice is a technique that uses force to compress the atmosphere to create a vacuum slash. I can use Armament Haki."

When Thoth heard the last part, a glint of light immediately appeared in his eyes:

"Tell me all the combat techniques you know in detail."

074. Shrimp and Pork Heart!

The attack technique that delivers a slashing strike is similar to the Six Styles: Tempest Kick that Thoth was familiar with.

As Thoth listened, he found it resonated with his own power generation techniques, and gradually figured it out as he listened.

This is not difficult to understand.

The Armament Haki he mentioned is awakened through a unique and ingenious method of resisting attacks. It requires an opponent who already possesses Armament Haki to release it into the opponent's body, thereby triggering the body's potential to instinctively resist.

However, there is a prerequisite: those who want to cultivate Armament Haki must have a strong and robust body.

Otherwise, even if the destructive power of an Armament Haki attack is somewhat mitigated, the victim would still find it difficult to withstand it.

Having acquired all the knowledge he could, Thoth glanced at Dragu's dazed expression, but now was not the time to deal with him.

"Wake him up."

As Thoth finished speaking, just as Zango was about to make a move, Johnny stepped forward and kicked him in the face. With a dull thud, the latter was jolted awake by the kick.

Dragu's nose gushed blood, and he let out a scream. But then, memories of being hypnotized flooded back, and he stared wide-eyed at Thoth in disbelief: "You...you..."

Thoth's eyes were indifferent: "I've already chosen a dignified way for you to die. I hope you'll be happy then."

Dragu's face twitched violently, his eyes surging with fear. Seeing his mouth slightly open, Thoth spoke calmly:

"Don't beg for mercy. Leave yourself some dignity in the end. This is my final act of mercy for you. And don't curse, unless you want to be beaten again before you die."

Dragu's face turned pale, as if all his energy had been drained away.

Thoth ignored him and turned back to his cabin. There were people watching over the deck, so he didn't need to bother.

At the dining table in front of the kitchen, Thoth sat in a chair, while Nokigo was preparing lunch at the stove.

"It'll be ready soon, are you hungry?"

The young girl smiled gracefully and looked up. Thoth gently inhaled the fragrance wafting in the living room and gazed at the girl's beautiful figure.

"is acceptable."

Noki blinked, her eyebrows unconsciously curving slightly, and a smile playing on her lips:

"Have you finished dealing with things outside?"

Thoth nodded with a smile: "Zango's hypnosis is quite useful."

Nojiko's eyes lit up with curiosity: "Are you planning to recruit?"

Thoth shook his head: "No, he's not suitable to be on the ship. He's too distracted, and I don't plan to recruit too many people here in the East China Sea."

Nojiko smiled slightly upon hearing this. She absolutely supported all of Thoth's decisions, but that didn't mean she would necessarily like them.

Zango is too slick; if he joins, he'll probably ruin the atmosphere on the ship.

She believed that Tote must also be able to see that she trusted him to do things.

Lunch was quite lavish, including lobster risotto, cream of mushroom soup, and chicken salad...

The two prisoners on the ship also had food, but Dragu was fed by Zango.

After lunch.

Thoth trained Karina, teaching her basic swordsmanship, and the girl became very interested in Thoth's swordsmanship.

So Thoth let her use the broken steel sword for the time being.

Of the two famous swords obtained from Aaron, the Fine Sword was given to Johnny, and the Quick Sword was given to Joseph.

Nami and the others are exercising on the ship.

Thoth leaned against the fence, sensing Drag's life force through the resonance of all things breathing. As expected, the person who had awakened Armament Haki had a peculiar active fluctuation in his body's meridians.

And it is closely related to his own life trajectory.

Thoth subtly sensed resonance, gradually comprehending his own life's pulse, and began to delve deeper into the power that was inherently hidden within him.

By using one's essence, energy, and spirit to perceive and resonate with the rhythm and frequency of the meridians within his body, one can reflect upon oneself and thus break through one's own limits.

Learn.

Using his life trajectory as a template, and delving into what he himself lacked, as time passed, Thoth gradually sensed a hidden peculiarity within his own life trajectory.
