One Piece: Starting with Coercing and Enticing Nami

After crossing the breach in the courtyard wall, Tote stopped two meters away from Kro, watching him slowly sit up with his back to him.

"Do you still want to pretend?"

As Thoth's calm words rang out, Klo, who was about to stand up, paused. Then, a hoarse, gloomy voice came through:

“Weapon... Thoth.”

As he called out Thoth's name, he straightened up and turned around. His glasses were askew, and bloodstains were seeping from his mouth and nose. He was no longer the elite butler he had been when they first met; he looked like a stray dog.

Kro stared intently at Thoth, his gaze dark and murderous as he spoke each word clearly:

"My bounty was revoked long ago. We have no grudge against each other, so why do you have to come and interfere with me?"

Kro put on his glasses, his jaw muscles bulged, and then his figure suddenly disappeared.

His figure appeared beside Thoth in an instant, and his icy words rang out simultaneously: "Go to hell!"

A bright light flashed in the corner of his eye; a sharp dagger, gleaming with a cold light, was being held by Kro and slashed towards Tot's neck.

In this scene.

His gaze was calm, and his speed was of no use to Thoth.

Just as Kro was about to successfully slit his throat, a cruel glint appeared in his eyes, thud! A kick, delivered by Tote from behind, struck him hard in the side waist with a powerful side kick.

Thoth looked up at him, and as if in slow motion, Kro's eyes gradually widened and bulged, blood gushed from his mouth and nose again, his waist caved in, and his whole body was blasted away horizontally in an instant.

With a whooshing sound and a muffled groan, Kro's figure flew dozens of meters before crashing into the trunk of a large tree, which snapped in two with a crack.

Leaves and wood chips fell and fluttered down from the sky.

Thoth retracted his left foot, and Nami, watching Kuro sprawled on the ground, unable to get up, couldn't help but twitch her lips.

"I feel a little sorry for him, that stubborn guy."

“He’s not stubborn; he knows he has no choice. Someone as smart and proud as him wouldn’t entrust his life to someone else’s decision.”

"Thoth said calmly."

Nami's eyes showed agreement; if it were her, she wouldn't be willing to entrust her life to someone else either.

Well, except for Thoth.

He's one of us.

Through the gap in the courtyard wall, Tote waved to Zango at the entrance of the villa, who immediately ran out.

Nami then looked at the sharp dagger that had fallen from Kuro's hand a few meters away, walked over and picked it up.

Holding it in her hand, Nami examined it curiously, then held it up and waved it at Thoth:

"The material of this dagger looks quite good?"

Having seen many good things on the ship, Nami can now tell the difference between good and bad.

Gazing at the faint blue hue emanating from the dagger's blade, Thoth walked up to her, took the dagger, and held it to his nose to sniff it.

Nami also noticed the problem at this moment, a subtle look appearing in her eyes, and she narrowed her eyes and said:

"Could it be highly poisonous?"

“The dagger is of the swift quality,” Thoth said with a smile, running his fingers along the blade before bringing it to his lips and licking it lightly with his tongue.

Within seconds, Thoth's tongue went numb, but as his breathing rose and fell, his "self-recovery" kicked in, and the numbness soon disappeared.

"It's a potent poison, a kind of poison that can paralyze the body and destroy the hematopoietic system."

The "tasting hundreds of herbs" characteristic of medicine allowed Thoth to quickly analyze the toxic components.

Nami gasped in surprise. Luckily, she hadn't tested the sharpness with her finger; if she had cut herself, she would have suffered terribly.

Nojiko and the others followed Zango over. Thoth gestured for them to follow and they arrived at Kro, who was lying on the ground with a blank look in his eyes. He was severely injured and unable to get up.

"Hypnotize him."

Thoth looked at Zango, who quickly nodded and took out his tools to begin hypnosis.

Kro tried to resist, but it was no use. Soon, he was completely hypnotized by Zango.

Thoth began asking about the specific techniques of the "silent step".

Silent Step is a technique that uses strong conscious awareness to subtly suggest power to the waist and spine, mimicking the explosive power of felines and the coordinated movement of their muscles and bones to achieve a silent yet rapid burst of physical strength.

This is a technique that Kro has been trying to perfect ever since he was eight years old and was greatly shocked by seeing wild cats hunting.

Thoth's eyes brightened slightly, while Nojiko blinked thoughtfully. Super Smooth was given to the body, and the ability to carry consciousness began to operate within the body.

A look of understanding dawned on Zango's eyes; no wonder their pirate crew was called the Black Cat Crew.

A deep tiger roar came, and Thoth was surprised to find that Tiger Girl's back and spine began to tremble as she lay on the ground.

The muscles on the tiger's body twitched and trembled, sometimes tensing and sometimes relaxing.

He moved his body slowly, and the slow movements became somewhat strange.

It understood.

We're still just starting to figure it out.

This alien species is very intelligent.

He had already learned swordsmanship from Thoth, and could already use basic sword stances by biting his mouth.

Kro's silent walk is derived from feline creatures, so Tiger Girl can quickly understand the principle, as if it were tailor-made for her.

Karina took out paper and pen from her pocket to write it down, and after asking three times in a row, she completely exhausted Kro's knowledge of the Silent Step.

Karina finished recording and looked at Thoth:

"What are you planning to do with him?"

Upon hearing this, Zango unconsciously perked up. He couldn't rest easy until Kro was dead. The wealthy Melka beside him also perked up, even though the thought of spending several months with this venomous snake Kro sent chills down his spine.

The thought that his entire family had almost met a terrible end because of his momentary mercy filled him with dread.

Xiluobu Village is still too remote. If it weren't for the need for his daughter Kaya to have a quiet and peaceful rural environment, he wouldn't have built the villa in the small village where he lived in his childhood.

But now, he has to reconsider.

The safety level here is too low.

At that moment, Tote's lips curled into a slight smile:

"Give this to the mouse; he'll definitely love it. After all, Crowe is a notorious pirate with a bounty of 1600 million!"

At this point, Toth looked at Zango, his eyes calm as he looked at him:

"I keep my word. You are now free. You can leave here anytime."

Upon hearing this, Zango's eyes lit up with surprise, but then he became bewildered. The pirate ship was gone, and everyone on board was dead. He was now a lone commander, and even Kuro was finished.

He still has a bounty on his head, and it's too dangerous for him to be out there alone.

Unable to resist, she looked at Thoth with longing in her eyes: "I have nowhere else to go. Can I join you? I can disguise myself so that no one can recognize me."

I can do odd jobs on your ship.

"I know hypnosis; I'm not useless."

Thighs, these are super thighs.

Not only is he young, but he is also very strong. If I could join him...

I will definitely be able to live a carefree life in the future.

Hearing this, Thoth raised an eyebrow. Zango did have its uses, but he still shook his head.

"You are not suitable to board the ship."

Zango's eyes darkened behind his heart-shaped sunglasses, somewhat as expected, but at that moment, a slight thought stirred in Toth's heart:

"Although I won't take you on board, would you be willing to be an unofficial member of my crew?"

Zango was taken aback, somewhat bewildered. Tote then looked at Merka, who was also surprised for a moment, but then smiled and said:

"Please go ahead with your work. I have something to do here. I'll have Melli wait for you not far away."

"Once you've finished your business, please stay. I'd like to give you a chance to enjoy yourself properly."

Upon hearing this, Thoth nodded and smiled:

“Perfect timing, I’d also like to have a good talk with Mr. Merka later.”

The latter's eyes lit up with joy, "That's great, I'll go back and make arrangements for our dinner later."

That's a thick thigh!

Having spent half his life in business, he knew that the power to speak on this vast ocean was in the hands of the strong.

Every year, he would send a large sum of money to his naval branch in the business world in order to protect his personal safety.

But the incident with Kro made him realize even more deeply just how important a strong person who can truly help him is.

Seeing that Melka and the others had gone far away, and now only his group remained, Thoth looked at Zango and asked:

"If I could remove the bounty on your head and get you into the Navy, would you be willing to work for me from now on?"

Zango's mouth gaped open as he looked at Tote in disbelief. Who exactly was this guy?

Does he really have that much power? Can he even interfere in the Navy's internal affairs?

Zango fell silent, hesitant. On one side was freedom? On the other, a stable future?

But soon, he looked at Thoth, a glint of shrewdness appearing in his eyes:

“I am willing. If it is really as you say, then I am willing to do things for you.”

I'm tired of being a pirate.

Thoth looked at Nochiko, "Den Den Mushi."

The latter nodded and took out a small Den Den Mushi from the deep "three-dimensional" pocket on his chest.

Thoth dialed the mouse's private number via Den Den Mushi, and the call was quickly answered. Thoth got straight to the point:

"You know the 1600 million bounty on Hundred-Scheme Clooney, I've caught him now."

Are you interested in taking over?
