The guy has a stick and is protecting the tree so he is actually doing him a huge favor by allowing him to work for a coconut. Working is a win win here.
The alternative is the guy gets no coconut and has nothing to do.

No he won’t - there’s no water on that island, for one thing… The new guy is dead meat, he just doesn’t realize that yet.

In real scenario there’s no need to protect the tree. the tie guy can simply enslave the other one. If he’s got the lethal force, the tie guy can beat the shirt guy into any level of subjugation ie get virtually any slave service with no exchange whatsoever
Subsequently, there’s no need for a stick, simply convincingly manifesting the control of situation could be function as an equivalent of lethal force. In short, conning people that you have power or having real power looks identical to subjects
In that case, mentality that you have no power over the situation, makes it real

In a real scenario that coconut is a much better weapon than the stick. Driftwood isn’t strong at all. And in a real scenario there’s absolutely no way you’d be able to enslave someone because you have to sleep at some point, so whomever is the slave will just kill the slaver as soon as they go to sleep.

Eating many coconuts will cause diarrhea.
Agree to terms, climb tree, pick a nut. Change terms by tossing the nut on the head of the wannabe job creator.
Eat the nut with fresh meat on the side. Die from dehydration.
