One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

Crack!

The door was opened.

A gentle man dressed as a butler with sheep horn-shaped hair and short, curly white hair appeared.

"And you are?" Merry spotted the distinguished-looking Thoth in the crowd, and her eyes widened slightly when she recognized him.

"Weapon Master Tot?"

Thoth raised an eyebrow: "You recognize me?"

"Hello! I'm Merry, the housekeeper of this villa. May I ask what brings you here from so far away?"

Merry had a slight wariness in her eyes, but at the same time, her manners were impeccable.

Thoth smiled and cut to the chase, "Is your master home? I've come here to do a good deed!"

Merry looked blank, but nodded honestly. "My master is here. Please wait a moment, I'll go and inform him right away."

Thoth looked at him speechlessly. You still have to report it? If the vigilant Kro finds out, do you think that guy will try to survive by cutting off his tail?

According to his Observation Haki, a powerful aura, no less than that of the Great Bear King, was currently in the lobby on the first floor of the villa.

"Is Krabatel there?"

Toth asked the question directly.

Merry looked bewildered and somewhat puzzled as to how the topic had changed so quickly.

But given the man's notorious reputation, he obediently nodded.

He works on the first floor.

Thoth smiled helplessly and turned to look at Zango, "Come here and explain briefly."

Zango quickly stepped forward, first revealing his identity, then directly betraying Kro. Merry's eyes widened, and his gaze became increasingly horrified.

He had already recognized the hypnotist, Django, as the current captain of the Black Cat Pirates.

He had no choice but to believe it.

He didn't dare to question it.

More often than not, he had no choice but to trust the weapon in front of him, Thoth, because his reputation was considered decent.

Even my own father praised it.

But that's how it is now.

A man-eating wolf has entered their home, and the sheep are unaware of it. But now, a powerful hunter has come knocking.

*Snap! Snap!* Thoth snapped his fingers twice near his ear, and Merry snapped back to reality. Looking at Thoth as if he had grasped a lifeline, he quickly whispered:

"Just tell me how you want me to cooperate. I only hope that you will save my master, mistress and young lady."

Rest assured, once it's done, my husband will definitely give you a generous reward.

Thoth looked at Merry, somewhat surprised by his decisiveness, and said without hesitation, "Just take me in."

Merry nodded quickly. He knew that the boy in front of him was someone they couldn't afford to offend. Being wary was useless, and since it was useless, they should cooperate with him as much as possible.

Even if they ultimately harbored ill intentions as well, all he could do was die before the master and his men.

Following Merry into the manor courtyard, we saw the neatly trimmed, beautiful lawn and walked along the smooth cobblestone path.

Sensing the tension and fear in Merry's emotions, Thoth spoke calmly:

“There’s no need to panic. Kro is my target. He can’t hurt anyone in front of me unless I want to.”

As if some incredible power was calming him down, Merry's mood quickly returned to normal.

Upon sensing this, Thoth's lips curved into a slight smile.

The level of Observation Haki is about to advance, and its "emotional perception" characteristic is becoming increasingly magical.

By resonating with the breath of all things, Thoth is now almost able to project his own emotional resonance onto others and interfere with them.

Merry regained his composure and quickly arrived at the main building of the villa. He opened the door and led Thoth into the villa.

Meanwhile, in the lobby on the first floor, the wealthy Melka was sitting on the sofa listening to Krabatel... no, Kro's report.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed out of the corner of his eye that Merry had brought in several young people, and he raised his hand to signal Crowe to stop.

He stood up and looked at Merry, but then he saw the weapon master, Thoth, who had been on the news headlines for the past two days.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly, but quickly, a seemingly very warm smile appeared on his face:

"Welcome, distinguished guest. But may I ask what brings Mr. Toth to see me, Merka?"

You can just tell me, and I'll definitely help you if it's within my power.

Your name is highly respected, and I've long wanted to speak with you. It's just a pity that I haven't had a suitable opportunity until now.

Upon hearing this, Toth also began to scrutinize the rumored tycoon.

My first impression was that she was kind and articulate.

Standing nearly 1.9 meters tall, he wore a sharp, tailored navy blue suit, and his golden slicked-back hair was neatly styled with hair gel.

Although he was middle-aged, his features remained handsome, and he exuded a decisive and capable aura.

As expected of a man who built a huge merchant guild on his own, it's just that his luck is probably not so good. At this moment, Tote walked forward with a smile, "There's something I need to discuss."

Merka was surprised and curious.

However, at this moment, Thoth looked at Klo, who was standing next to Merka, and his eyes revealed shock and a hint of anger and murderous intent.

As he approached, Thoth smiled as he looked at Klo, whose face had turned incredibly gloomy.

He wore a black suit, had slicked-back hair, wore glasses, had a well-proportioned figure of just over two meters tall, and a capable and upright appearance in his thirties.

"Compared to the photo on your wanted poster, you actually look much kinder. After all, in reality, your face isn't covered in blood, is it?"

Merka looked at Thoth in shock and confusion, but at that moment, Melly quickly stepped forward and pulled him aside.

"Krabatel? You?"

Kro looked at Thoth with icy eyes, then glanced at Merka and said coldly, "Consider yourself lucky today."

Immediately afterwards, his expression turned ferocious, and his eyes turned to Django, who was standing among Nami and the others not far away, with an extremely sinister look:

"You dare betray me?"

Zango shuddered, but quickly mustered his courage and retorted:

"You're just unlucky."

"Good, good, good! Zango! You're really great, no wonder you were chosen by me, Kuro, to be the second captain of the Black Cat Pirates."

The cold words blew through the spacious and luxurious hall like a winter wind.

Kro's cold eyes turned to Thoth. "Do we have a grudge against each other?"

Thoth looked curious: "This is the first time I've met you."

Upon hearing this, Kro raised his left hand and pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with his palm, his expression suddenly becoming calm.

He had seen the news from a couple of days ago; the guy in front of him was a swordsman capable of cutting through iron.

Even that ferocious chained man, Mad Torega, was killed by him.

He wasn't absolutely certain he could win.

"You are very strong, no less than me."

"We have no grudges against each other, so I admit defeat this time. Go outside this villa now and give me five minutes. After I've cleared out everyone here, I'll give you 70% of the 270 million Berry treasure inside."

"And I want you to hand over that traitor, Zango, to me."

Zango's face turned pale instantly, and Merka and the others' expressions changed drastically. However, Merka quickly regained his composure and looked at Thoth, saying quickly and sincerely:

“Mr. Toth, my life is worth far more than that money. I beg you to save my family. I will definitely give you a reward far exceeding this amount.”

I'll give you 500 million peles.

Kro's expression turned icy instantly, but in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Merka with a unique full-body exertion of power.

"Then you go die first!!"

His right hand lashed out fiercely, and at the same time, another hand appeared in front of his outstretched right hand. Snap! Thoth grabbed his wrist firmly, then exerted force with his body, his figure turning into a blur as he pulled Kro's arm and rushed out.

Kro's expression changed drastically in an instant, as he felt an irresistible force carrying him toward the outside of the hall.

In just two breaths, he dragged him out of the living room door and threw him off forcefully.

With a muffled thud, Kro was slammed onto the lawn by being swung over his shoulder. Grass clippings and dirt flew everywhere, and Kro's deep groan of pain suddenly rang out.

Tot released his grip, took a step forward, and delivered a powerful, vicious shot to Kro's waist. This kick was imbued with invisible Armament Haki. With a boom, Kro transformed into a blur and shot out.

His figure flew backwards through the air, spitting out a mouthful of blood, flying dozens of meters away, smashing through a section of the courtyard wall, and crashing onto the ground outside the courtyard.

At that moment, Kro collapsed to the ground, struggling to get up, but he couldn't straighten up at all.

Thoth gazed calmly at him outside the courtyard wall, and with that step, he sensed that his spine had been severely injured and cracked.

"Hiss!" At this moment, a series of gasps of cold air came from the entrance of the main building.

Thoth looked back and saw that Nami and Merka had already chased after them.

Nami jogged over, looked up at Thoth, and then at Kuro not far away.

A red light flickered in her eyes; she sensed his presence with her Observation Haki, which was rapidly fading. She hesitated, then said:

"You didn't kill me, did you?"

Thoth shook his head and strode over, with Nami following closely behind.

"He didn't die so easily; he must have some kind of breathing technique."

"With my breath of all things, he is now consciously controlling his heart rate to slow down."

"Huh?" Nami looked surprised and quickly came behind Thoth, somewhat speechless.

"So sneaky? Trying to ambush me?"
