Chapter 1: Chapter 1: New World

"Where the heck am I?"

Josh opened his eyes. His body was dancing with the waves. Putting a

hand on his forehead, he pushed himself up.

When he stood up on his feet and looked forward, Josh started to believe

that he was dreaming despite the light headache he was feeling.

"What in the…"

In front of him, there was all but blue water covering his vision. Josh,

who was having a party last night, thought that this didn't make sense.

After all, if he had slept and his friends decided to make a prank on him,

they won't be able to reach the sea this fast.

Josh, feeling a bit hungry, looked around. But alas, in this boat, there

was nothing but few water buckets and water bottle. Unconsciously, he

took a step forward and looked at the water.

"Something is strange."

The reflection that was twisting because of the waves didn't make sense

to Josh.

In front of him, there was someone else. A teenager with neck length

spiky brown hair and blue eyes appeared in front of him.

He assumed that his height now was about 180 cm.

"This… This…"

There was no doubt of it.

Most people don't know when they are dreaming. However, for sure, they

know when it is reality. And they don't doubt reality.

Josh was certain now that it was real when he stepped back and fell to

his butt.

He looked at his hands, his lips twitching.

"This isn't my body!"

He was freaked out.

Who wouldn't be?

Probably the person who is trash talking behind the keyboard online

about how a child should be a cold-blooded killer with the courage to

enter the hell itself and piss on satan.

Yeah, some retard.

'I'm not that kind of person.'

He put his hand on his forehead; he was panting since he was really

shocked.

"Remember… What happened, last night."

A memory came to Josh.

He had been playing a game, a lottery game in the casino.

He played in the lottery machine, betting on some coins, testing his luck

that day.

The result had been five sevens.

However, instead of gaining money or some chips, there was one paper.

[Congratulation. You have won the Lottery System.]

That was the content of the paper last day.

Josh had been about to complain to the manager. However, before he

could do that, he had transmigrated here.

'And that's how it happened.'

He bit on his nails as he looked around.

'Okay. I'm in another place. But where the heck the System, Lottery

System, or whatever is.'

He had heard about the genre of systems. It was quite popular among

web novels. He had some expectations.

While Josh was looking for it, he suddenly heard a robotic sound in his

head.

[Lottery System, activated.]

Josh suddenly figured out why it appeared. It did because he called the

system in his head.

In front of him, few options appeared.

One of them is about his skills and abilities.

The other one is called a draw.

And of course, the famous Status.

'Classical.'

His breathing started to calm down as he was reading ahead.

When he looked at the status, he saw that he had a good amount of

health. His agility is normal. And, he has the ability to lift things about

100 kg. Wow, that has shocked him. He thought it was a prank when he

looked at his not so powerful arms.

[Draw points: 2 ]

There was one question mark next to it. Josh activated it with his head.

And a couple of information appeared.

As it seems, he can use draw points to draw things out of the lottery.

In order to get them, he can always get tasks if he activates the option to

generate them.

He can also gain them by trading money.

Each one million Berries would count as one point.

And of course, he can get 2 points each month for free.

How the points work. The more points he spends in one draw, the more

his chances of getting rarer things to work.

As it seems, the things, which were unknown to him, he will get would

have ranks depending on their rarity. From common to Legend. The

ranks are. Common - Average — Good — excellent — Epic — Legend —

??????.

The last one had six question marks on it. Josh decided to leave it for

later.

As it seems, the higher the rank the lower his chances to get them. But,

those changes can rise with the number of Draw Points he spends, and

his luck, of course.

While he was thinking of this, he didn't notice that his boat was

approaching an island, a big one.

He didn't even notice the mountain that was in front of him. He,

unconsciously, wouldn't need to look at it to assume it's a monster. After

all, a Sea Monster that is 300 meters long isn't easy to look at its head.

"Alright. What should I do?"

Josh thought.

He had just lost his life on Earth.

But it wasn't so promising.

He had been a law student.

His whole life had been a sufferer from studying and part-time jobs.

Before he transmigrates here, he was an intern in a law company.

He should become a lawyer by the end of the year.

"Now, there is a new opportunity."

Standing up and adjusting his collar, Josh made up his mind, casting

away his previous life.

He can't go back. So, it's best to look forward.

After all, he had no parents to worry about.

As someone who is trained to be a lawyer, he had learnt from his seniors.

Always be ready for the next case. Now, his new case is a new life.

A system is here to assist him, which, eventually, means that he has the

chance to be anything he desired.

"I will be a rich man… no, a rich king. I will sit on a throne, and let

women serve me. Like, Teach in One Piece."

Josh leaned back on the cold deck, imagining that it was a throne. If not

for the salty waves, he may start playing with himself because of the

image of the hot ladies around.

But Josh didn't. He could know what is important to do now and he

wasn't that desperate. He is a horny man, not a horny animal.

Standing up, he opened his system again and opened the drawer. Time to

gamble a bit.

He has two points. If he spent them both, he may have one chance to

have a better item.

If he spent one each time, he will have a lower chance. However, he has

two chances.

'Since it's the start, let me test my luck.'

Looking at the screen, he pressed the draw option.

A group of pirate skulls started rolling on the screen, before stopping.

One of the skulls grew bigger, hiding the other skulls, and it was opened

from the forehead.

Inside it, there was something.

[+1 compass (common)]

He shook his head. A compass isn't so promising. Not without a map and

skills of navigator anyway.

Focusing on the screen like a gambler, he calmly waited for the next

result.

[+1 Body strengthening pill (Excellent)]

Josh, seeing the rank of the second item, clenched his fist and raised it.

The second item was an excellent rank.

"Booyakasha!"

Now, that what he calls progress.

Soon, he opened the storage in the system.

The system has storage. However, it can only store the items he gets from

the system.

Inside of the game like slots, there was two occupied. They had a

compass and one pill.

He read the description of the pill

[Increasing the body's strength by 200 kilogrammes.]

Josh, blinking twice, clicked on the pill two times with his eyes.

It vanished from the storage and appeared in his hand.

Looking at it, he thought, would this really work for him.

He didn't know where he was. But, for sure, he was hungry. So, he

opened his mouth and ate it.

I don't feel anything different, he thought.

His muscles didn't grow any larger, and he didn't want to test his new

strength on the ship, in order not to break it.

Josh, then noticed something in front of him.

"Wait, an island!"

An island, with a beach with trees appeared in his sight.

Josh felt excited all of the sudden. He stood up and looked around the

boat, looking for something to push the boat.

Soon, he found peace of wood and used it to reach that place. Because of

his happiness, the impact of his boat crashing on the beach, because of

the waves, didn't affect him.

"Finally!"

With that, he looked around, to see that he was in an unknown place.

Because he was hungry, he climbed the nearest tree, looking for the fruit

on the top. Although it was so high, he didn't mind risking going up.

When he started to eat the strange fruits that he never ate, he looked at

the side and noticed a shadow of a city.

"Wait…" he narrowed his eyebrow. "The architect of this. Somehow, it's

old-style, like London's. But on an island? "

Still, a city means a direction where there is food and all.

"Wait another second!"

The architect…

Because he had been hungry earlier, he couldn't remember well.

But now that his brain got enough sugar, he could use his brain well to

think.

The system gives him a Draw Point if spent one million Berries.

Berries.

Now that can mean two things.

It can mean the fruit.

However, it also can be another translation of one of the fantasy Anime

worlds' currencies.

"One Piece!"

Shocked, Josh put one hand on his forehead, realising where he is now.

Remembering all the dangerous situation

'Why didn't you transmigrate me to a less dangerous world.'

Josh, all of the sudden, felt fortunate that he wasn't swallowed by a three

hundred meters Sea monster

"What luck."

He then looked in the sea direction, and his heart almost stopped when

he saw a three hundred big Sea Monster.

Josh had just passed by that point, and he wasn't eaten.

Now, seeing that thing on TV and real-life version are two things.

Josh fell on his butt from the tree. However, he ignored the pain.

Quickly, he turned and decided to get far away from this place.

Putting his hands on the side of his head, he walked while murmuring. "I

won't think about anything dangerous." He didn't want to jinx himself.

Chapter 2: Chapter 2

Josh sneezed when he was walking down the street of the new town he

was living in.

It had been 29 days, and, Josh finally accepted the fact that he is living

in One Piece world.

What confirmed that more was the white suits one would see the marines

wearing, as they would pass by here casually to chase pirates.

In the bar that he found a job at, Josh would see wanted posters for

pirates hang on the walls. Although there is no Luffy in the wanted list,

there were other pirates who looked familiar to the ones in the show.

Such as the red-haired pirate, Shanks.

Also, more other pirates weren't mentioned in the show.

However, what other world would you find a poster written in both

English and Japanese?

Josh, now, without knowing how, can speak the language of this world

easily.

There is one more detail that he should pay attention to as well. He is in

the Grand Line as his starter point.

Geez, this is more dangerous than East Blue.

But, If one looked at the bright side, he is in a better place than the other

half: New World.

Not to mention, this town is a part of a country. Which meant it is quite

secured. Although One Piece is a water world, some islands are as big as

countries from Earth.

"Alright, one more day, and we're done."

Josh muttered as he placed a group of heavy barrels on the stoke of the

bar.

As someone who had come here, he had done what every man in his

mind would do — find a job to eat. He didn't want to start as a pirate or

a bounty hunter, yet, since he isn't as strong as it would need to be.

And he wasn't a person who like to risk too much.

And, tomorrow would be his payment day.

"Rana, I will be leaving."

Josh said to one brown-haired blue-eyed woman, who was surprisingly

tall for a woman — not in this world anyway.

She turned to him after pouring a drink for someone. "Did you finish

transferring the barrels?"

"Yes. All of them, there." Replied Josh, eyeing her curves and hips, and

finally, her boobs.

See. Something was special about one piece world. 99% of the women

are extremely curvy, have big boobs, and of course, their heights are

long. Still, not extreme as some guys around. it wasn't an unusual sight to

see pirates and marines who is beyond three meters, full of muscles. But

the funny thing is, normal people would be sometimes way stronger than

them.

"Come to drink when you get your first payment," she gave him a wink.

Josh just smirked and winked back.

Although he was a fan of One Piece and he may have eyes for main

female characters, Josh doesn't have the taste of a child to ignore the side

characters that are so hot.

He is an adult after all.

"Hm. Kids are growing fast, aren't they."

"Some parts grow faster, harder, than the others," Josh said, meaning

something else.

"Fufufu."

After a laugh, Lana, his boss, turned to serve the others. Josh shook his

head and then he left the bar.

His strength now has been helpful to find a job.

But it wasn't so impressive in this Grand Line.

'At this rate, with my salary and monthly points, I will be staying here

forever.'

Josh, to achieve his dreams, would have to wait for too long if he wanted

to play it safe.

Though, he didn't mind waiting for long if he ended up having sex with

his boss before leaving. Even though she was quite taller, who cares.

Tomorrow he will get 60.000 Berries, and 2 Draw Points.

"They say transmigrate and live happy life, women and money all throw

themselves to you" Josh murmured as he was making his way back home.

"My ass."

He went then to a cheap motel where he had been resting for the last

twenty days.

In his room, which was small, there was his training equipment.

Big boxes with dimensions of 1 meter. They weren't completely full.

One meter cubic of water weighs one ton.

Josh, who can't afford real training equipment, found that the best way

was to fill these boxes with enough water from the sea.

Each was around 300-500 kilos.

Josh held the heaviest one, put it above his head, and started squatting

repeatedly.

One must know that this One Piece world.

The bodies of humans here are different from the humans on Earth.

Here, people don't have physical limits. Only limits when it comes to

willpower.

After all, anyone who had seen One Piece would know how Coby could

become a great marine in a couple of months of training.

Josh, here, had been training his bodies' muscles all this month.

He must say, he was surprised by the growth process.

However, if there is something that hinders his growth, it would be the

food he is taking.

He had heard that eating Sea Monster's meat would be good for physical

growth. However, he can't just afford that.

He could only afford vegetables and some cheap meat, so his physical

body didn't grow too much.

After finishing a set of training, he was full of sweat.

Josh made his way to a near mountain, took a bath in a hot stream,

before going back to the motel and resting.

'And no task appeared.'

When he went back to his bed, he looked at his system, the task

generator, and clicked his tongue.

"Well. Happy to get through this day alive." He yawned, thinking that he

has done enough.

…

The next day, he opened his eyes and woke up early for his job. After

finishing, Lana had paid him his monthly salary.

Josh missed his days as an intern since he had been living in better

conditions now and had better payment.

"Don't spend it all, kiddo," Lana said as she grabbed his cheek.

Josh, who had been focusing on her boobs, didn't move his eyes.

One Piece.

This world was both hell and paradise.

Pirates and marines hell. Big boobs & curvy women's lover's paradise.

He liked the last part. But hated the first one.

"You like what you see," Lana whispered, seeing her worker looking at

her boobs.

"Mmm…" Josh didn't deny it. For the god sake, every girl in the street has

large ones.

Lana patted his head. Although he isn't as large as pirates who come

here, he was quite strong for his size.

Probably it would be fun.

"Fine, Night break, meet me at my room."

One Piece world was quite different. Bars are most busy in the morning

than at night. As it seems, pirates would drink in the morning on islands,

however, they will take alcohol with them to drink in their ships.

The bars here work in the morning.

She turned and walked away. Josh focused on her swaying hips. This just

served just as motivation to reach his dreams.

Suddenly, while having a boner, he heard a notification.

[+2 Draw points] notified the system.

Josh snapped back and turned, leaving with his salary while looking for

someplace to think carefully.

He ended up choosing a street food stall, which served meat.

One always need good proteins after working out with a half-ton.

After ordering some food made of the mean of giant fishes, Josh started

chewing while opening his system.

He was thinking if there is a task that helps him to gain more points.

After all, he can't just stay here forever.

He needed to move.

At least, find a roof to protect him, to guide him and nurture him until he

gets enough strength.

While thinking so, he ended up hearing something on the street.

"Did you know man, Baroque work is looking for workers?"

"Oh come on. Their test is harsh, and their agents are bounty hunters.

Stop being silly."

"For real. They pay so well. I heard there are many pretty women within

their lines."

Josh felt there maybe for him.

Baroque Works?

Isn't that the name of the agency which Crocodile is leading secretly?

[Ding, Task generator has a new gamble for you. Do you accept?]

Swallowing his food, Josh noticed the notification and almost choked.

"Water please." He raised his hand.

An old man who owns the stall gave him a cup of water, and Josh drank

it in one go.

'Let me see the details.'

Although it is obvious that the task was generated according to the

situation, one always need to see it to its most little details. As a previous

lawyer, one must read the contract carefully to the most little words.

Things like that are essential.

Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Josh, who had been thinking of going to have a one-night stand with his

boss, stopped for a brief while he was reading the task that appeared in

front of him all of the sudden.

Still, in the back of his mind, he determined to lose this body's virginity

before doing it. However, for now, his focus was on the screen that no

one could see but himself.

Even the stall owner was praying in his heart that Josh didn't die from

choking.

[Task: A Roof to grow under.

Your first desire, in your gambler path, is to find a roof to grow under

and gain from. Baroque work is opening its gate for talents to join their

lines. The bounty hunting organisation is shady. But one can always play

his cards for what he sees right.

Are you ready to take the gamble and take the chips to gamble?

Objective: Pass the test and join their lines.

Rewards:

Mystery Box tier 3 (+ Excellent Rank)

10 Draw Points.

What you are betting.:

-10 Draw Points.

- Anything can happen to you in the test, from injuries to death

Are you man enough you Gamble (Yes/No) ]

Now, there are chances for him to win and lose. He has the choice.

However, the last line from the system is asking him if he will gamble or

not.

It sounds not like being forced to do something. But, once he accepts, he

must accept the consequences.

It's a real bet. Except that he is betting on his own life now.

Josh suddenly felt severe pain in his back.

Turning, he saw 3 meters tall old fat man slapping on his back.

"Cough! What the hell is wrong with you!" Josh yelled.

Although the guy was so bulky, it wasn't something unusual to see in One

Piece world.

"Nothing kid." The old man said. "You were choked and didn't breathe.

So, I had to help you."

"Ahem." Josh rubbed his throat. "Thanks. Give me some soup, please."

"Which one."

"The one that contains Sea monster."

Since he is was considering doing something dangerous, the salary is

soon to go in food.

The old man just smiled. "Only 7000 berries." He then went to prepare it.

Meanwhile, Josh was thinking if he really is ready for this.

He was, after all, someone who wanted to fight behind the court, because

a physical clash hurt.

While drinking the soup that was placed in front of him, Josh thought

more about it.

He will have to fight, beat people, break, and a lot of blood would pour.

He wasn't one of your online edge-lords. He was just a simple guy from

Earth.

Just the idea of doing epic fights in real life made his heartbeat

uncomfortably.

"One must always risk."

However, it would be a waste if he doesn't achieve what he can reach.

Anyway, it's temporary.

*Drum* *Drum*

The peaceful guy whose last fight had been 6 years ago closed his eyes.

the screen didn't vanish. One always must step forward.

'Damn it!'He screamed in his mind and chose Yes.

[Host chose to gamble. Congratulation.]

Opening his eyes, he saw the stall owner smiling.

"Did you like it?"

To the people outside, as they saw Josh's facial expressions, they thought

he was immersed with the soup.

Josh just said thanks as he placed the money and left to go.

Now, he is committed to the task.

If there is one thing he would do now, it would be losing his virginity, at

least, it would give him confidence for what's coming tomorrow.

One must die with no regrets.

— — —

Tomorrow.

Josh woke up on the bed. He was hugged by a rather bigger woman, who

happened to be his boss, his face on her chest.

"Well, that was a good night."

"You are right."

She stretched up in the bed in the room which happened to be in the bar.

"You're quite strong for a boy," she said, looking at him again and

touching his naked crotch.

Last night, Josh has been banging her, like it was probably the last thing

he is going to do in his life.

"… thanks, I guess," Josh said as he leaned forward, stealing a kiss.

He knew that she made it clear it was a nightstand. However, he wanted

to have as much of those feelings before going to the test of Baroque

Works this morning.

"Hmm… is there something you want to tell me?" she asked, noticing that

he wanted to say something.

"First, I'm going to find another job, a risky one at the sea," Josh admitted

as he sat up.

Lana sat up as well and looked at him. Everyone has dreams. And Josh

was just a passenger who had come here. She can't just make him stay if

he wants to go.

"And the second."

Josh looked at her face. "Can we have orals? I mean, you lick me, I lick

you. It was quite…"

Lana hit his head. "You're quite bold, aren't you?"

Josh just shrugged his shoulder. "So what if I am."

"You may start with my chest."

Josh just smiled and leaned forward.

"But what if I get pregnant." She stopped him all of a sudden as she put a

hand on his chest.

"I will take care of the child if I stayed alive." Josh didn't deny the

responsibility

"You know, bars don't operate in the morning usually." Smirking, Lana

leaned back and opening her legs. "How about another round."

-x-X-x-

'Now, if I died, I will die with no regrets.'

Josh was walking to the other side of the island, to one beach. He was

now full of confidence.

When he arrived there, he met a ship which was waiting for him and

other guys and girls. Most of them were bulky and muscled.

'Don't let the size fool you. I'm more about quality than quantity.'

He thought to himself.

The ones one must take caution of are the small ones.

If Coby, who is a head shorter than him could become as strong as Vice

Admiral, so Josh can reach that level.

He went inside one ship with the people around, and then, they moved to

one specific testing location.

-x-X-x-

Josh soon found himself on another island, a small one.

In the middle, stood up one man, who happened not to be around 175

cm tall, thin, and not looking scary at all.

His hair shape was quite strange. It made the number five.

The guy was wearing up glasses, and Josh could see the resembles

between him and a drawing version of him.

'Mister Three!'

He thought, surprised.

This man, who was explaining to them the rules of the test, was one of

the characters of One Piece.

However, now, he looked like Mister Five.

'Seems he didn't promote yet.'

Josh thought.

He then looked around, to see what kind of people who are here for the

test.

He suddenly paused, as his brain told him to stop.

There was one very hot Blonde woman standing while holding an

umbrella.

She had a short neck length blond hair, green eyes, pale skin, a small

nose, and a very sexy hourglass shape, with double D big breasts. She

was quite tall, around 178 cm, with heels, she was few centimetres taller

than him.

'Wait…' After taking his time analysing the hot woman, his mind gave

him a piece of information — Other than her chest's size, her long neck's

smoothness, and her body's softness, he saw a resemblance between her

and a draw of a character in one piece.

"So, the test is to fight, and the last bunch of people would be selected to

join the force," she said, her smile was big, and her teeth were bright.

"I'm excited, kyahahaha…" she was laughing in excitement.

'Miss Valentine, or Mikita. I don't want to mess with her in tests. No one

wants to mess with crazy bitches.'

Although the girl is cute and so hot, he knew he has no chance, even

with the strength he has. He needed to avoid her, for now.

Josh, when their eyes met, she just stared at him. He nodded before

looking at now, Mister Five.

"Now guys, since you know the rules, you can fight. Only those who

make it after fifteen minutes would be selected to join the Baroque

works.

"You have twenty minutes to prepare yourselves. All the weapons and

means are allowed, so think well about your strategy."

Not only they were evaluating their strength, but their ability to think in

situations like this.

The hair that was making 5's shape lit up with fire like a candle, creating

wax in front of the hair's owner, letting him slide over to the edge of the

island, where he can observe how things are going.

Chapter 4: Chapter 4

—— Flashback ——

Josh, after getting his monthly Draw Points, decided to draw.

Although one point each time didn't have high chances to even get one

thing with Good rank, he still has chances.

Even Legend shouldn't be able out of reach if he played his cards right.

That's how probabilities works… right?

He doesn't have a choice.

He had already gambled with his life to enter the Baroque work.

Moreover, the test's location was near. That what he had known after

getting some information from that one person who had been spreading

the rumours.

Drawing twice, Josh slammed his face with his palm.

[+ Hair Keratin (applicable, Average)]

It can smoothen the hair and make his spiky hair prettier.

'Right, so lucky.' He thought about that as he rolled his eyes.

[+ Banana (Common)]

— End Flash-Back.

Josh stood up in the middle of the small island, looking at the people in

front of him.

'Maybe yesterday wasn't my lucky day. I'll avoid drawing on Fridays.'

He thought as he looked at the people around him. Just a few minutes

more and a battle royal will happen.

In this part of the world, Grand Line, people are really strong.

'Why is he huge.'

Josh looked around the people, to see that one of them was 4 meters big

ugly looking man.

Geez.

'Don't lose confidence. If Nami could beat the highest trained agents, I

can beat those scums.' He said those words to encourage himself.

'And why is she so fat. Geez. If she sits on me I will die.'

Josh assured himself that size doesn't matter.

That hot blonde girl was the same size category, and she was full of

confidence. She was treating this like a vacation. Well, she is a Devil

Fruit user after all.

'I don't have any Devil Fruit power. Calm down, look as much as tough as

you can. You don't want to be the first prey.'

Josh's heart started pounding faster. However, his face was so calm. After

training with high weights every day, his body is stronger than before.

Taking advantage that people's bodies in One Piece are special, he had

trained himself with the weights each day, especially his legs. He can

train two hours with them while having a water box that weights 500

kilos.

But still. That power level isn't something big in One Piece. Even a

commander in Navy is stronger than him.

'I need to use my brain as well.'

"Begin." After this word was said by Mister Five, who will in the future

become Mister Three, everyone started moving.

Josh found a bulky man coming in his direction.

Reacting out of his instinct, Josh slid to the side as he kicked the ground.

His strong leg, somehow, gave him a speed advantage.

Clenching his fist, he punched the man on the crotch, making him fall.

However, before he could even enjoy the victory, someone hit him on the

back with a metal bat, sending him rolling on the ground before Josh

could stand up.

Josh, feeling pain in his back, stood up. Because of the training,

somehow, he managed to endure the hit, and he looked at the person

who hit him.

He dashed.

In front of him, the biggest guy appeared, as if waiting for Josh to make a

move.

Josh paused all of the sudden and lifted his head until his neck started

hurting.

"Ready to die, little man."

"I think… you know what?"

Josh looked above him. The hot Blondie was opening her umbrella,

floating above the man with a wide smirk, showing all of her teeth.

Josh could see her panties, and her full pale thighs making a very

alluring shape.

"What," the bulky man asked as he lifted his eyebrows.

"Never mind." Josh didn't warn him.

From above, Mikita's smile grew wider, exposing all her white teeth.

The gravity started pulling her down faster and faster.

"Then, prepare to die." He said as he lifted both his hands, joining them

and making an axe.

"Ten thousand kilo."

Mikita declared as she appeared above his head.

The man, who was hit by her, sank deeply on the ground.

After taking a step back, Josh saw an ugly sight of how a person's back

was twisted and broken.

The man wouldn't walk again.

Mikita stood upon his body, looked at Josh, and smiled.

"Behind you." She said as if enjoying the battle.

Josh noticed the shadow that appeared behind him. Someone was about

to hit him

Squatting, he pushed himself with his legs to the side. Josh could dodge

the man, taking advantage of his faster body.

Lifting a large rock that was next to his feet, Josh jumped two meters

meter in the air and slammed the rock, crushing it on the skull of his

attacker, and making him fall.

Josh didn't let him stand up, so he would not get his ass kicked.

'What's happening to me!'

Josh felt that he lost control of himself.

He started kicking the fallen man in the face with no mercy. Even though

he knew that he may cripple him, he didn't stop.

Josh, who had been afraid even to enter a fight, was showing a cruel side

of himself in this.

Mikita just floated up, and vanished, reaching very high in the sky.

The battle continued.

Josh was moving based on instinct. He hit people, and of course, he gets

hit by them.

He can't just see behind him, after all.

But even if he was covered by blood, he kept fighting. Soon, he realised

that he wasn't thinking straight. He would lose this way if he continued

fighting back.

Josh thought for a brief.

Mister Five had said that they can use any means, weapons, and tricks.

Taking advantage of the could of dust that rose from the ground, Josh

lied on the ground and pretended to be unconscious.

Soon, the battle continued and people were taking down each other. Josh

was looking at them with a very small slit his eyelids made.

The reason he is laying down on the ground, simply, that, since most of

the guys were taken out, only the tough ones were left.

And, since he is armless, he didn't want to mess with those who were

holding dangerous-looking weapons.

It's best to hide and strike last. And his strategy worked.

Soon, most of the people were eliminated. Mikita, for sure, was the MVP.

After all, the devil fruit that allows her to control her weight gave her an

advantage.

'I'm lucky she didn't sit on me. Hot women who are crazy are dangerous.

Law school facts.'

Soon, as the time was about to end, Josh opened his eyes slowly. The

people, who were the last ten, were waiting for Mister Five to announce

the winner.

However, Mister Five now was still observing. Sneaking slowly, Josh held

a large rock. For now, he was behind Mikita, but he didn't feel like

hitting her.

She just stared at him, as he was looking for the weakest looking out of

the last ten.

He saw a fat bulky woman who was more than two meters, wearing a

helmet.

She seemed tired, and not a fit person, still, her arms muscles were huge.

Holding a rock that should weigh two hundred kilos, Josh jumped and

slammed it on the back of her head. The rock was broken to shreds.

The others looked at Josh with wide-opened eyes.

The woman, who fell, turned and shot him a glare.

"You! You will pay for this."

Josh felt his heart skipped a beat. At first, he was afraid of killing her.

Now, she is continuous after crushing the rock on her back.

One can't just judge the power of a character based on their look and

size.

'Geez, these people are scary.'

She shook her eyes and was about to stand up.

Josh, for sure, thought that he has to do something quickly, or he may

fight someone who is so troublesome.

As he was about to move but she held his leg.

"Let me away, you fat bitch."

Josh mind was working fast, as he was struggling to move his leg.

"I'm a bitch, you son of the bitch." She squeezed on his leg, and Josh felt

it was hurt.

'Damn it, why did you only give me a banana and keratin.'

Josh didn't know what to do.

He called his system's storage, summoned the banana and lifted it.

The woman was yelling as she was about to squeeze on his leg.

"Take this!"

Josh held the banana like a dagger and stabbed it in her mouth.

"Argh…"

Her face started to get blue.

Sounds of gags reflexes could be heard as Josh pushed the banana deeper

into her throat.

Soon, she lost consciousness and fell.

"Learn deep-throating first before holding my legs."

Sneering at her, Josh took the banana back from her throat, opened it,

and started eating it, trying to look tough by eating his weapon.

"Smart one." Mister five came, his hand clapping.

He eyed Josh.

Josh was a person who won in the last fight with a banana, choking his

opponent to defeat.

People around stared at him in awe, and some even clapped. Mikita was

just laughing like she heard the funniest joke.

"Kyahahaha. Deep-throating… it's so funny."

Josh just turned his face, as if embarrassed by the words he just said.

[Ding, you won the gamble.

Rewards are transferred to the storage ]

Upon hearing the notification, Josh raised his eyebrows.

He didn't open the system while he was in the middle of Baroque Works'

testing field.

"… Now, guys, you are welcomed to join us as officers. Allow me to

transfer you to some other place, where you can't see. Please, don't

resist."

The man said as his hair lit up with fire.

Josh, all of the sudden, felt shadows sneaking behind him.

They started putting bags on their heads, black ones, which made them

unable to see.

Guided by the guys while blindfolded, Josh started to think that it is a

bad idea.

He knows nothing where he is going. And he is with Baroque Works.

Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Josh and the others were transferred on a boat while being blindfolded.

Although they couldn't see where they are going, they could at least talk.

"Sir, excuse me." One of them decided to ask.

"Yes." Said the current Mr. 5.

"I know that you are blindfolding us for privacy." He said. "However,

since this is Grand Line, isn't it stupid. No one can navigate directions."

"Yes. It's a test to see if there is a stupid person to question orders."

Mister Five, with no mercy, took the blindfold and kicked the guy back to

the sea.

Josh lowered his head as he was sitting. What he had seen now was the

first lesson he had learnt as an intern.

'Never show your boss how stupid he is. He can turn your internship into

a hell.'

Josh remained silent, but, then, he heard someone next to him.

"This is exciting. I'm finding a job." Mikita was saying that.

Josh noticed that and didn't say any word. Although she is hot, he didn't

know how to talk to possibly crazy girls.

"Hey, you, why are you here?"

Josh felt her kicking on his foot as she asked.

"Me?" he said.

"Yes." She nodded.

"Money, I guess," Josh answered honestly. That was his short term goal.

The long ones are more ambitious, are more secret.

"What about you?" he decided to ask since he wanted to learn more about

her character.

"I want to become Miss Chocolate and make my chocolate." She said

openly, talking about her dream.

"Goof for you. I'll buy your product, If we made it alive, one day." Said

Josh as he thought about some words that wouldn't make the atmosphere

turn awkward.

"Kyahahaha. You're cute." She laughed, pushing her smooth thigh against

his.

It wasn't intentional, as it seems. But it didn't stop Josh from getting

aroused.

"You too." Josh just nodded and lifted his head.

"By the way, what's your name."

"Josh. You?"

"Mikita." She nodded.

"Nice name."

"I know." She chuckled.

Mikita then became silent and the trip went in peace.

-x-X-x-

With the ten people who succeeded in the first selection moving, they

reached into one middle-sized island under the lead of Baroque works.

The blindfold was taken off them, and they were standing in line.

Mister Five wasn't here. Instead, there was someone else. A man, a bulky

one, wearing military clothes, was standing and talking, with his hands

behind his back.

"Welcome. Now, you are official members of our organisation. Through

the missions and contributions, you can rise in the ranks. Please, take to

mind that you are going to risk your lives. Anything like betrayal would

be punished by death. You are no agents, just followers. Do as you are

told, and you will learn."

The man started explaining their roles and their life from now on.

They are going to be officers in Baroque Works.

They'll take their orders from high ranks who are called agents. They are

known by their numbers or aliases name.

Josh nodded. Mikita seemed to be excited, while others were cautious as

they looked behind the muscled man.

There were guys and girls running around.

"These ones are trainees, not selected by fighting."

As it seems, they aren't official members. Josh stared at them, and,

surprisingly, he saw a person he hadn't expected to see here.

There was a beautiful curvy woman running, her blue hair that was tied

in horsetail floating. Her chest was average size, and she was about 169

cm tall.

Even though it's a real-life version, she still looked like an Instagram

curvy model.

Her skin was quite pale. Her big brown eyes didn't show any hit of being

tired as she kept running forward. She was keeping her breath stable as

her blue floating hair was dancing.

'Vivi.'

Princess Vivi is training here to join the Baroque Works.

She, as it seems, is here to spy and find the relationship between the

organisation the rebel that is aiming to destroy her country.

Of course, her identity is secret, and the Baroque Works don't know about

it yet.

However, she seems to be barely starting.

Somehow, this made Josh know how far he is from canon.

Vivi, who was running, suddenly noticed the guy who was looking at her.

It wasn't unusual.

As a beautiful princess with flawless skin, she has many eyes on her.

However, the man who was staring at her seemed to give her a familiar

look, like he knows from somewhere.

Quickly, she turned her face, breaking eye contact, fearing that he may

recognise her somewhere.

"Focus. stop staring."

Josh suddenly felt pain in his ribs. Turning, he saw Mikita patting her

blonde hair. He was surprised, she was quite strong physically.

"Whatever." He said as continued hearing the rest.

As it seems now, they would stay in this place, taking direct orders.

They can accomplish missions. If they do a good job, they may be

promoted to be real agents.

Now, their job is to work with the others to form a group that hunt

pirates.

-x-X-x-

'Finally, a real gym, and real food.'

Since there were no pirate ships passing by this island now, Josh and the

others were free to do what they like in their free time, until there is a

mission for them.

He went to near dumbbells, which were quite big, and started working

out with them. Each weighed around 200 kilos. And they were heavy to

lift, each with one arm.

Currently, he was in the gym of this division of Baroque Works.

In front of him, there was real training equipment. Big dumbbells and all

other weighs. It was way better than the water boxes he used to train.

Not to mention, there is real notorious meat here.

After working out for a half-hour, Josh was looking for a towel, as sweat

covered his forehead.

Josh thought of using this time, to probably, develop some techniques.

After all, this body of his is way stronger than his previous one. He

should at least try to recreate Shave from the show.

"Want a one."

He looked around, Mikita was there, extending a towel toward him.

Although she was portrayed as a little crazy girl when it comes to

fighting, she looked normal right now. A stunning normal girl.

Mikita was wearing two pieces of cloth, gym clothes, which showed a

part of her delicate body. Talking to her was harder than the girl he had

seen in the test.

"Thanks, chocolate." Since her dream to be Miss Chocolate, Josh said.

Josh took the towel and rubbed his forehead.

"Funny name, Berry." She chuckled.

"Berry?" Josh lifted his head and stared at her.

"Well, you called me Chocolate after hearing that I want to be Ms

Chocolate. So, I called you Berry, since you want Berries." Mikita raised

her eyebrows and crossed her arms.

Josh just chuckled. "I said I need money, not I want to be Mr Money."

"Hahaha. I know. Relax. I'm just teasing you because you are young and

funny." Mikita slapped his back as she said that.

Somehow, that hurt, but he smiled as if it were nothing, but amusement.

"Funny?"

"You know. Yesterday, when you choked her with a banana. It was the

funniest thing I have ever seen."

Josh raised an eyebrow. It seems she is interested in him.

"Thanks then." He said as he sat down next to another weights

equipment.

"So, are you training with these?" She said, looking down at the gym

equipment.

"Well, I handle what I can handle," Josh said.

"Can you handle a woman like me?" She said, teasingly.

Though, it was a double-edged question.

"Can you handle a man like me?" Josh wished that he could bit his

tongue.

From all the women he could say that to, and he chose the one who can

manipulate her weight.

"You're pretty confident, I like that."

She let her face near to his. Josh paused for a brief, looking at the

stunning facial features, from the green eyes to flawless skin, and full

lips, Josh was quite taken to have a kiss.

'Damn you, Oda. Did you have to do fan service with each girl that

appears in the show?'

Josh thought as he made a gentle smile, showing that he is not afraid of

her devil fruit, which was wrong since it can squash him like the 4

meters tall man he had seen.

"Hm…" Mikita, seeing that he wasn't taking himself back, put a finger on

his lip. Josh looked at that finger, before her eyes. The situation was

arousing him a bit.

"If you can handle a ton then, I will see. Now, continue the workout.

There is more for you to cross" She said in a very calm seductive tone.

"How about we bet on that. Two tons."

"Make it four, big boy."

Her finger danced from his lip to his chest. When he looked at her finger,

she flicked it up on his nose, and then laughed slightly.

She then stood up when Josh held his nose. Mikita gave him her back,

letting him see her ass. It was big, and the hourglass shape made sure

that it was noticeable.

Josh just stared in appreciation.

"It was fun talking with you." She stretched herself and turned, saying. "I

heard that there is a mission soon for us, next week. I thought you may

want to prepare yourself. We may be on the same boat. And I don't want

someone to hold me back. So, don't pretend to be dead."

"Sure, I may be able to handle you after that," Josh said. As he noticed

that she isn't reserved when it comes to speaking, he felt she was quite

open to flirting.

"Kyahahaha. We will see." Laughing, she picked up her clothes and went

to hit the bath.

Josh lied down and stayed here, before going to the bath — the males'.

When he turned the water, he opened the system.

Since there is a mission for him, probably, the next week, he may use

now to see his reward from the previous mission.

Chapter 6: Chapter 6

Josh, who was in the shower alone after training season, opened his

system and decided to see what he has.

There is a mystery box with a reward that has an Excellent rank in it, at

least. Moreover, there are ten [Draw Points] for him.

Now, that what should be called progress.

All he needs now is to see his reward.

Josh, looking at the system, opened the mystery box. From it, a big

question mark filled the screen. The question mark started fading, getting

replaced by what had been behind it.

A piece of candy appeared.

[+ Physical Talent candy (Epic)]

The tier was higher than excellent. It was Epic.

Mystery Box was more guaranteeing than drawing in the lottery.

Josh decided to look at it.

[The talent to learn and understand movement and physical skills faster

and better than regular people by 500%]

After seeing this talent, Josh nodded. He had already been planning to

relearn things. And this talent should save him time.

Josh ate the sweet candy with no hesitation.

'I'll learn how to walk on walls. I always like Prince of Persia.' Yeah, a

man can dream.

Josh, looking at his legs, which can handle a half-ton of weight.

When Josh opened the system again, he chose the option: Skills and

Abilities. He found this talent under the abilities section.

"Mystery box is better than the banana and hair keratin."

Josh nodded. Soon, he remembered that product. "Oh right." He put the

keratin on his hair and looked for some hot metal to apply it. Even

though he is a fighter now, a man should always take care of his look.

After finishing bathing, Josh moved to one building, where he was

supposed to sleep. As it seems, he was assigned in one post, where he

guards the island in one of the four directions.

His shift has yet to come, so he decided to relax now. Meanwhile, he was

looking around, trying to find a trace for Mikita.

'It's not like I missed her or something.'

He thought in himself as he turned and looked at the near wall. Soon,

Josh, without realising, found himself trying to walk on it vertically.

At first, doing one step was hard.

Josh, quickly, thanks to his talent, realised that his mistake. He was just

kicking on the wall.

However, his body posture is wrong.

So, he twisted his body, his upper half-forward and quietly bent to the

wall.

Soon, as he put his leg on the wall he found that he could make two

steps.

And sooner, he could even learn how to adjust his speed by moving his

back and forward.

Feeling happy with that, Josh started doing it again and again. Fe found

that he could do more steps each time. And a few hours later, he found

that he could run on the wall.

'I'm genius!' He thought. 'Naturally, I have talent.'

"Josh, your shift!"

Soon, came a guy to the building where Josh is. He replaced the old

guard, standing on one post alone.

Josh wasn't alone. Another man was guarding with him. Josh then looked

at his system.

He has ten Draw Points, and he had been curious about how to use them.

After all, the more he spent, the higher his chances of getting high tier

things. However, it's not guaranteed that he would get good things.

'I'll put two, and then three, before putting the rest of five.'

Josh felt that this day is quite lucky.

He had gotten a talent, a stunning beauty flirted with him, and the

conversation had been quite flirtatious.

'I don't know if Mikita's attention is luck or not.'

Shaking his head on the crazy woman, Josh started drawing. On the first

try, he put in two points and activated the lottery.

The first reward had been common tier.

However, the light of hope was still there.

After spending three points, his luck seemed to be better, as he had

gotten a Good Tier item.

[+ healing drugs (heal the injuries 60%)]

That was a good one, for sure, better than the common items he usually

gets.

"Now, should I gamble all I have left?"

There were more than five points. If he used them all, he would have a

higher chance.

Still, he can get three good rewards if he used a point a time — but he

can also get nothing.

"If one has to gamble,"

Josh half-closed his eyes. Somehow he felt that he changed after the day

he fought against the people and accepted the task to join Baroque

Works.

"He has to do it right."

He took a coin, ten berries from his pocket, and decided to put his fate on

it.

"So, all or nothing."

That what the coin has decided after Josh flipped it in the air and it

landed on him.

After putting in five Draw Points, he activated the lottery.

He noticed that Common Tier has vanished from the choices when he put

five.

[+ beginner to professional Kung Fu manual (Excellent)]

Josh pulled the manual out of his storage. He read it, and he found that it

was a manual of martial arts, but not a full one.

It explains how to use postures, take stances, and attack while having sets

of workouts.

It has one style of Kung Fu, as it seems. And he can use Weapons.

"Good, it allows me to use weapons."

It even has swordsmanship in it. Josh felt that there is some progress.

"Now I get it. I need to stockpile up those Draw Points so I can use them

later.

He muttered to himself.

"What's up, mate."

The guard, who is on the same shift as him, woke up from his nap and

turned.

"Nothing, just go back to sleep."

Josh told him, before looking in the sea's direction.

-x-X-x-

While waiting for the coming mission, Josh spent his day in the Gym of

Baroque works, lifting weights repeatedly, and then, in the night, he

practises the Kong-Fu.

As it seems, his physical body is good for practising martial arts.

Though, he noticed names of techniques, weird ones, which seemed way

stronger than a casual one. [The Tiger's claw rip the steel]. This

technique explains how to use fingers to rip off the steel.

But Josh didn't think of it since it was on the highest levels.

Josh practised the techniques he would need, such as punches, kicks, and

using swords.

Other than that, he would be going to Gym and lift weights.

Sometimes, he would meet Mikita, train and mess with weights.

She would flirt with him and casually tease him if he tried to go up to her

max weight.

Josh would only flirt back that he needs to go up to her expectation.

"You know, I can be too light sometimes. Strength can't lift everything."

She flirted on her way back.

-x-X-x-

Josh rode a ship that contained four people.

In front of them, there were two guys that he never had seen in the

Anime.

One of them calls himself Mister 10. And the other was his partner, an

old woman with grey hair.

Josh looked at his partners.

There was Mikita here. Himself. A blond man who holds a sword.

And most importantly, a tall black man, around 198cm. He had his finger

in his nose hole the whole time.

'The future Mister 5!' Josh thought looking at him.

"You have something to look at me pale." The future Mister Five said as

he seemed annoyed by Josh's look.

"Nothing. I just think you are familiar."

"Weird, we never met."

Josh saw him rubbing his nose; it was disgusting.

"What's your name, by the way." Mister Five, in the future, asked.

"Josh. You."

"Gem, you can call me." Gem said.

"Fine." Josh turned his head.

Gem was a dangerous person. He had eaten Bomb-Bomb devil fruit. Each

part of his body is a bomb. Even he can even explode, create huge

explosions, without harming himself.

The four of them were here to assist the two agents known as Mister 10,

and his old partner, Ms July, who wasn't as hot as her alias.

"Alright. Let me explain the details of the mission."

The current Mister 10, who was a tall guy, 2.5 meters tall, with board

shoulders and long moustache said.

Meanwhile, Josh opened his system, the quests generator.

[Quests Generator has a new gamble for you. Gamble on your life. Do

you accept.]

Chapter 7: Chapter 7

[Task: A new gamble on your first mission, where you are playing with

your life against a group of dangerous pirates.

Objective: Finish the mission alive.

Rewards:

-Mystery Box Tier two (+ Good rank)

-Draw Points: 10

What you are betting on:

- Possibility of death.

- 5 Draw Points.]

These rewards are promising, it seems.

Josh, Mikita, Gem, and the other guys, under the lead of the current

Mister Ten, has arrived at an island, a small one. Agents with numbers

have some recruits to assist them in their mission.

Their ship was standing from far. Josh, who heard the notification, just

lowered his head. As it seems, he knew how these tasks work. He knew

why the system is calling it a gamble. Because it triggers only when there

is his life to bet on.

No wonder it hadn't triggered when he fights someone in the street, or

whatever.

"As you see, here, the new rising group arrived at the Grand Line. The

Mantis Pirates. Their leader, Ron, 25 million berries, along with his vice

15 million, are currently resting in that hotel."

Mister Ten Pointed to the island. Although they kept rather a far

distance, they could see the shadow of a hotel. One can assume that it is

5 stories in height.

"Now, here's the plan."

Miss July eyes them one by one.

She pointed to Josh. "Your body build would be enough."

She then explained to him his role.

Josh would have to sneak inside the hotel, to the highest floor, before

putting a sleeping potion in their water storage.

He was chosen because he looked like the most agile one.

Mikita could do that job. Yet, her offensives strength was more needed on

the battlefield.

"Excuse me?" Josh said.

"Yes." Mister Ten raised his eyebrows.

"Why don't we just put poison instead of a sleeping potion."

Although he wasn't a killer, he couldn't help but ask.

Mister Ten sighed. "Are you that Silly? You must realise that you get the

full bounty when you handle the pirate alive. Marines give those

instructions for us since they need to do more public executions."

"Oh." Josh opened his mouth a bit and nodded.

Mikita looked in his direction and smirked. "You like to be efficient, don't

you?"

"Just asking." Josh shrugged his shoulder. She just smiled in his direction.

-x-X-x-

The sun was setting. This time, pirates would prepare for dinner and

drink. In any case, they would soon drink water, or use it in their food.

Josh, who moved in a small boat alone to the beach of the island, landed

on his feet, his body covered in dark clothes.

He looked behind. His original ship is there. The guys should now be

waiting for his signal.

'May God has mercy on my soul,' Josh prayed in himself as he started

moving on his toes.

Around, pirates were walking and laughing.

Josh wasn't allowed to fight with them.

Taking advantage of his rather smaller stature, he used the trees to hide

as he approached the hotel.

"Did you hear something?" Some pirate spoke as he turned his head, only

to see a tree.

"What?" His friend, who was alone with him, said.

"Wait here." The pirate took a dagger, slowly walked toward the tree, and

jumped, circling around it.

But he saw nothing.

He scratched his hair. "I swear, I thought I saw a shadow moving."

His friend patted his shoulder. "I think you mean your own shadow."

"How dare you!"

the pirates were generally known for cold blood and low temper.

"Don't speak to me like that."

The two of them started fighting.

Josh, who was standing on the top of the tree, started breathing.

'Good I learnt how to walk on the walls.' He thought to himself. Luckily,

his legs have the power to lift a half-ton. With proper techniques, he

could push himself running on walls, depending on his momentum.

Leaving the pirates behind him fight, Josh started moving, before the

others could come.

He now was behind the hotel, where the pirates were supposed to be.

The Mantis Pirates, he knew from his superiors, were pirates that were

trading weapons.

Their headquarter is on this island.

And now, they are a target for Baroque Works.

Taking few steps back, Josh looked at the top of the hotel. That where he

is supposed to go.

He dashed forward, put his foot on the wall, and changed his body's

posture, before pushing himself up, his legs moving quickly depending on

his momentum.

Josh found himself ascending. Sometimes, he would rest and stop with

his hand holding a window. He then pushes himself up and let his feet

gives him momentum.

In a minute or so, he beat gravity and reached the roof.

The water storage was there in front of him.

One must know that in a world of islands, clear water is appreciated very

well.

People rather drink from clean water sources, not seawater.

Josh started walking forward as he took a potion from his clothes.

But, as it seems, someone was here.

A man, half-naked, bathing under the water storage, met his eyes with

Josh's.

Josh frowned. 'For real.'

"Hih… who are you!" the pirate was full of muscles, and he dwarfed Josh.

The difference was between a man and a babe. One can tell that easily if

they looked at his 2.7 meters build.

'What is this. The Fist of North Star.'

Josh knows fully that he would be attacked.

Quickly, he dashed forward. The guy quickly clenched his fist and

punched forward.

Josh, depending on his epic tier physical talent, could master Kung Fu

quickly. However, he was inexperienced. But he was under the

adrenaline effect.

Quickly, he parried the punch with his hand, making a claw with the

other hand and waving.

A wound, which was followed by blood, appeared on the body of the

pirate who didn't stop and attacked back with a kick to Josh's leg.

Josh's talent quickly allowed him to adapt to the fight. He quickly

jumped up and gave a double kick on the man's chin, knocking him

down.

Quickly, as he landed, Josh clenched his fist and gave a very strong

punch to the man's face, making him sleep. Ever since he practised that

manual, Josh had learnt how to make stronger punches.

"Ha Ha Ha…."

Josh panted and swept a sweat from his head, before looking at the man

down, feeling proud of what he has done.

He put his hand on his heart and took some deep breathes.

He shook his head, climbed the storage, and started pouring the sleeping

potion.

He then went to the roof's edge, his hands on his hips.

Now, he had practised how to climb, but not how to descend.

"I'll just jump and hold into the windows on the way." His body isn't so

fragile.

He needed to go back to the beach and send signals for his team to come

here and take care of the rest.

Chapter 8: Chapter 8

Josh went back to the beach. Under the moon, he held a torch and waved

it. It was the signal that he sends to his team.

Soon, the ship came to the beach and its members landed.

"Kyahahah, did you find it easy to sneak. If so, the fight would be too

east"

Mikita was floating while laughing.

Josh just stared at her.

Mister Ten now came and ask Josh about what he had done. Josh gave a

report, a casual one, and that he was done now, with only one pirate

knocked out on the roof.

"Hmm… we must wait for them to finish their dinner."

Mister Ten looked at the sky with half-closed eyes, before he pulled two

short swords.

The old woman next to him took two long pins and span them.

Mister Ten then started explaining what to do next.

Mikita would use her ability to float above the hotel, then, she would

increase her weight to ten tons and descend like a meteor. Josh knew

that she was quite strong. Although her body looked soft, she was strong

enough to handle the impact of falling from a high distance.

Meanwhile, Gem, Josh and the other fighter, whose name is Mike, would

go and fight forward. The crew of the pirates they are going to fight isn't

weak, not for someone who has number ten as his name.

-x-X-x-

Mikita was in the sky, floating with her umbrella above the hotel.

Meanwhile, down, most of the pirates were sleeping after drinking and

dining.

However, someone didn't seem to eat the bait.

"Captain, something is wrong with the water, don't drink."

A bulky man who was topless said as he went to the first floor.

Most of the people were sleeping. However, those who had the

consciousness to hear their captain threw the water in time.

after throwing the water, they grabbed the near pillows, and put their

heads on the ground and slept.

Still, they were few who stood up. they looked at their sleeping

comrades, and they envied them when they saw them sleeping like

babies.

Mikita smiled. Smiling was a good way to turn fear into excitement.

Taking a deep breath, she closed her umbrella, and the gravity started

pulling her down.

Her weight increased from 1 kilo to ten thousand kilos (10 tons) in

instant.

When she fell on the hotel, because of the momentum she built, the roof

was destroyed by the heavy object, and soon, she continued crashing the

other floors on her way down.

The hotel started cracking, and the roofs were falling on their heads.

Mikita, who reached the first floor quickly, jumped out of it. Her physical

body had always been strong to handle impacts. So, she got out quickly,

opened her umbrella, and floated up.

Meanwhile, she wasn't the only one who got out.

As it seems, the captain of the crew, a muscular man with metal claws on

the top of his hand, and his vice who held a whip, and few other men got

out.

The other men looked sleepy. While the captain was quite drunk.

Mikita floated back, to her group.

"Who has done this!"

Seaming, captain Ron looked in the direction of the group of six that

came toward him.

Mikita couldn't hold herself from saying. "Just visitors, we want to have

fun."

"Damn you." The captain held a rock and threw it into the sky. Mikita

held her breath as that rock almost hit her umbrella.

"Hey, do you want to die!" she threatened as she planned to fall on him.

However, Mister Ten spoke and told her to stay in her place. Mister Ten

and his partner wasted no time as they attacked while telling Josh and

Gem and Mike to do their job, same for Mikita, getting rid of the minor

pirates.

Josh quickly took a Kung Fu stance, similar to a horse stance with his

hands spread open and making claws. After his first fight a few hours

ago, he seemed to understand more the martial art he was practising.

Soon, Josh and the others clashed, as the captain and the vice clashed

with Mr.10 and Ms July. The agents, however, were only strong to keep

up with the captain, while the vice-captain was drawn out to attack Josh

group.

Gem, who is going to be Mr. 5 in the future, was using his mucus to shoot

at the pirate, which exploded on them. When someone gets near to him,

Gem would extend his hand to them and let his hand explode.

He was a bomb man after all.

Josh, on the other hand, find himself having an easier time. His body was

quickly adapting, and the Kung Fu techniques made his fingers like claws

as he hit the guy around him.

Mikita, on the other hand, had a good aim. She would drop herself from

the sky at a weight of ten tons. Anyone who isn't ready for her would die.

The vice Captain, who was famous for using his whip, could barely dodge

her at the last moment. Yet, Mikita broke his arm.

Gem, seeing the vice-captain pirate weak, extended his mucus on him

and shot it, which exploded on him.

Mikita was there. Quickly, she controlled her weight and became one

kilo, and that made her fly back.

Now, because of the explosion, she flew away in the air. However, there

was one problem for her. She was above the sea now, and she was about

to fall, and she was only depending on her umbrella to stay floating.

For every Devil Fruit, the sea was the scariest nightmare.

"Help me…" she said, her eyes widely opened as she seemed about to

panic.

Gem didn't seem to care, as he kept fighting with the Vice-Captain.

The mission comes first. That what Baroque Works teach them.

"Mission first. Help yourself." Gem said.

He was a Devil Fruit user as well. There is no way for him to get near the

water sea and risk his life.

"Let yourself drop." Josh just looked at her and said.

In front of him, a man raised his dagger and waved. Josh quickly

squatted and kicked the guy's leg, making him fall, before running to the

beach.

Mikita, who was panicked, did as she was told, and Josh swam in the sea,

catching her, before dragging her to the beach. She was just clinging to

him, as badly as someone would cling to life.

"Josh, throw me there."

Mikita said anger could be felt in her shaking voice.

Everyone acted like a bitch toward her, except for Josh.

she almost ruined her new pink panties.

"Toward who?" Josh said.

"As high as you can."

"Alright."

Josh lifted her from her waist. In the process, he was surprised by how

her hips were soft. Her big butt also looked to be soft.

But they were so light.

Josh was more focused on the battle rather than this small pause in time.

He quickly threw the girl, who was one kilogramme now, to the sky with

all his might, which sent her away.

The battle continued from the side.

Mister Ten and his partner were injured due to the guy they were

fighting. But they managed to damage him as well.

The captain, who was injured as well, pointed with his claw to Mister

Ten and smirked.

"I was just warming up. Now, I'm going to cut you to pieces."

He smirked. His opponents now are bleeding badly. "Let me tell your one

more thing, these blades are poisonous. So, a happy trip to the next life."

*BAM*

Then, on the captain's head, something fell.

The bulky man found himself sinking to the ground. His strong muscles

shattered in the moment of collusion, and his back was broken.

Mikita stood up, patted her hair from the dust, and put her hat on her

hair.

She stared in Josh direction, who was panting and nodded.

On the other hand, Gem was done killing the Vice-Captain.

Gem said, "I think dead better than nothing."

"You did what you had to do," Josh replied as he stretched his back.

"Good Job. Let's hurry back to the quarter. We need treatment." Mister

Ten said quickly. Ms July nodded. The two of them had pale faces. Their

priority, as it seems, was to save their own lives.

"Not until we get their heads then." Gem said as he stood up forward.

"Whatever, I'm not doing anything," Josh said as he walked to the side.

Ms. 10, even though he gave strict order, the poison in his body made it

easy for him to make his mind. He alone took the head off of the captain

and said they will go back.

Josh then and the others went back to the ship.

While Josh was walking, waiting for the notification of the system to hit

his ears, Mikita came close to him. Slowly, she whispered, "thank you."

"You're welcome, chocolate."

As Josh said that, there was a pause from her.

"Stop saying that, not yet."

"Alright," Josh said. "I'll call you Mikita then."

Mikita made a small smile, not showing her teeth, and nodded. She

turned giving her back to josh, who stared down, and then she sat.

The others sat as the ship started sailing.

"So, I want to hear, how did you sneak." Mikita started talking to Josh.

'She isn't making maniac laughter.' Josh raised his eyebrows as he looked

at her. 'No crazy bitch mode.'

"Well, you see…"

[Ding, the gamble is won. Rewards are in your storage.]

Josh told his tale, how he met a guy and fought, before jumping off the

building alone. The last part was B.S. as josh didn't really jump from five

stories. The part about how he was told that they should take off his

vocals wasn't told.

"By the way, how can you jump from a high distance without harming

yourself," Josh asked her.

"Well." She put her hand on her hair. Her finger started playing with a

blonde strand, rolling it.

"How I handle the impacts of the pound, is a secret. One day you may

figure out, kyahahaha."

She then laughed.

Josh, as a law intern, was reading between the line.

'How to take the pound. Is this a figural speech?'

It was easy to think so if you are talking with a hot beauty.

But soon, something unexpected happened as they almost reached their

island.

Mister Ten and Ms July started puking, as their faces turned pale

completely.

They stopped breathing after.

"They are dead." Gem said, patting his dark sunglasses as he looked at

them.

"What we do now," Mike asked.

"Obvious," Gem replied coldly. "We make a report and complete our

mission. But first, we have to take out the part where we killed the

pirates. Anyone has an objection?"

Josh, who was a lawyer in his previous life, stood up.

"No your honour. "

everyone looked at him suddenly.

Josh suddenly realised he carried away and scratched his chin.

"Don't you get the joke? No one has attended a court before?"

"Oh please. who does that." Mike rolled his eyes, just like everyone else.

Josh shook his head. "Your lose, I won't give you legal advises."

People back in his world would pay money to hear him. Not him. They

would go to his mentor who is a partner in that company. Nevertheless,

he still his student.

Chapter 9: Chapter 9

A new day arrived.

The funeral of Mister ten and his partner had happened, no one attended

it.

The heads of the pirates were delivered to the marines, and the

headquarter should get the bounty.

There were some rumours that they will get a promotion and payment.

After all, organisations don't work alone. That's why they share the

bounty, and that's why they have a higher success rate.

Josh had already gotten his rewards from the system after the mission.

He currently was in his room, small like a box, where he is resting.

[Mystery Box Tier 2]

[+ 10 Draw Points]

Good rewards, especially the box, guarantee him to get a minim Good

rank reward.

'I will use it and see what to get.'

Josh decided to start withdrawing points. He was thinking if he should

stock up more points.

But, if he got too greedy, he may die.

So, it's better to risk it anyway.

Drawing twice, Josh got these two things.

[+Strengthening soup (Good) increases strength by 150 kilos]

Josh nodded.

Since he had been training under Baroque Works, his muscles were

growing better, thanks to the food and better training equipment.

Josh strength had originally increased to 650 kilos. Now, this pill, even if

it only adds one hundred, it was good for him.

The other reward wasn't so promising.

Just an average rank.

[+ Urban fantasy book. (Average)]

It wasn't a common item, so Josh opened it and gave it a look.

'Looks promising. After reading it, I will sell it, if I ever find a buyer.'

He has nothing to lose since he didn't write the book.

But now, he can't just sell it. Probably he will just move and find

something else.

Now, to the Tier Two Mystery Box.

'Give me something beyond good.'

Josh joined his hands together as he clicked on the box twice, opening it

and waiting for the reward.

[+ Agility pill (Good Rank)]

Not above Good rank, but still good enough.

Josh read its description to find out that this pill increases his agility by

60%.

Increasing the agility means increasing his speed and attacks speed.

Josh just ate it along with the strength soup, feeling nothing.

"I'll work out then."

He shook his head, put his fingers on the ground, and stood upon them,

not moving. This was a practice he got from the manual. He would stay

like that, resisting the headache and the sour feeling from his fingers.

As it seems, in Kung Fu, he has to train everything, including his balls

and nipples.

"My pour life." He muttered as a sweat drop fell from his head.

Meanwhile, unknown to him, someone was floating next to his window

and stalking.

-x-X-x-

The next day came. Josh got his money from the previous mission,

around one million Berries, for the contribution he had made. The one

million, he decided to stoke it for now, before turning in it into money

later.

Now, while he was around this island, patrolling, he could hear some

rumours about major promotions, since someone like Mr 10 and his

partner has died.

They would choose someone to take his place from the officers. Josh

could tell that it should be Gem, who should become a future Mr 5.

Probably Mikita would promote as well since she took the leader pirate

on her own.

'Crazy Blonds aren't easy to take.'

Josh, after the patrol, went to the gym and started training again after

eating as much as he could.

His body was growing more muscular, and he needed to take advantage

of that.

While lifting today heavier dumbbells, Josh was thinking of using his

physical talent to try and master something else.

'Probably a new footwork, inspired from Shave.' He thought as he was

waving the weights, anyone could tell that he was training while being

mind absent.

'I need only to kick the ground ten times faster, and then, I will use the

momentum to move faster.'

Thinking about the techniques, it was very possible to achieve, since he

was strong physically. He only got his agility boosted as well, so he is

faster.

But, he was thinking about how to train it in the first place. He may need

something like a heavy pillar, and he would try to move his legs so fast

on the ground.

"Hey, I think you should take a break."

Josh was snapped when he saw Mikita, approaching with a smile on her

face as she was wearing her training clothes— yoga pants and a yellow

shirt that barely passes by her belly.

"Take a break?"

Josh looked at himself. He was full of sweat and his skin was red. Only

now he noticed that his muscles were sore.

"Mm… you forgot?" she asked, eyeing him. "Are you for real?"

"You're right."

Josh threw the dumbbells, each weighted 280 kilos, and threw them to

the side.

"You're training harder than usual. Are you excited about the

promotion?" Mikita grinned.

Josh was about to answer yes. But his answer came smooth. "I think I

want to handle you, according to our talk last week."

"Kyahaha… I thought you forgot that." Mikita chuckled and put her hand

next to her mouth, her eye staring at him.

"Not as smooth as the woman in front of me." Josh just chuckled, while

holding himself from touching her. She was just as hot in front of him.

But no one wants a heavy burden.

"Phew." After a sigh, she just sat down. "I forgot to thank you for what

happened yesterday, I thought I would have to hang on my umbrella

forever."

"Why? were you that afraid?" Josh sat down next to her, took a water

bottle, and handed it to her.

"Me… afraid. Hehe. You must be crazy." Mikita gave a lifeless laugh. "I

don't feel fear… okay, maybe a little, but don't tell anyone or I'll kill you."

She joked.

"You have done a good job." Josh put his hand on her shoulder.

She just stared at his face, her green eyelids shook for a brief.

"Hmm… You know. You look like a good boy." She said, leaning forward.

"Good or bad, it's up to you, depending on your morals." Josh saw her

approaching, slowly he said. "By the way, you smell like lemon."

"You noticed! I like lemon." She said.

"So do I."

Just like every man of culture, Josh loves lemon.

"I think we have something in common," Mikita said, her face was now

only a few centimetres away.

The two looked at each other's lips, before looking around the gym.

Mikita was the bold type who didn't care about the surroundings. She put

her hands on Josh's cheeks and slammed her lips against his.

Josh, who was about to say something, opened his eyes widely.

"Hmm hmm."

Soon, her tongue invaded his. Since she was a hot girl, Josh,

unconsciously, opened his lips for hers, extended his tongue, and started

enjoying the kiss under the motivation of his instinct.

'I'm now enjoying kissing one of the dangerous people. What became of

me. Where is the quest, I'm risking my life.'

Josh realised that he is more courageous to kiss this Blondy. Soon, Mikita

pulled back, looked at Josh, her face not blushing, only a slight pink

layer on her cheeks.

She smiled widely, all of her teeth shown to him.

"Ahem." Josh faked a cough. "That was sudden."

"Well, someone knows how to kiss back," Mikita said excitedly.

Josh looked around, before looking at her eyes. "Who doesn't want to

taste lemon."

Mikita blushed and rubbed her blonde hair. "Well, I just wanted an early

celebration for the promotion, what do you want to do tomorrow."

"Hm…"

Josh rubbed his chin as if thinking. He just kissed her, and he even forgot

that she is a maniac when it comes to battles.

"Just training, practising. How about you?"

"I'm just free." She said. "My Devil Fruit power won't increase all of

sudden."

The two stared at each other. Josh, who found that he is playing with his

life, kissed her again in front of everyone. They didn't care at all.

"You know." Josh was stroke by an idea. "I may need your help

tomorrow."

"Yes?" Mikita raised her eyebrow, wondering what is in his mind.

Chapter 10: Chapter 10

Josh, who had been surprised by the kiss of Mikita last night, was

currently standing in the middle of the island.

'She didn't invite me to sleep with her last night.'

Still. The kiss was good for him. Who knew that a battle maniac girl

would be a good kisser.

This morning, he had nothing to do, except his usual shift, and then he

can rest to develop himself while waiting for a mission.

"So, this is your idea of spending time?" Mikita said, looking at Josh who

was wearing his training clothes.

"Mm… I want to develop a new technique, but I need your help." Josh

said.

Mikita narrowed her eyebrows before raising them. "How does it work?"

Josh then explained the whole idea.

He had been trying to develop Shave on his own, depending on his

talent. However, he needed a heavy object to train with.

"Kyahahaha… so, this is your perfect training. And I thought you were

shy."

Mikita laughed, eyeing Josh as if he was a cute guy. Well, in her eyes, he

had his cute moments.

Josh just turned his head and scratched his hairless chin.

"Should I give you my back, or do you prefer forward," Mikita said as

Josh approached her.

"Hmm… If you give me your back, I will forget to train."

"Maybe I should do that."

She put a finger on his chin, before sealing his lips before he could say

anything.

"But still, I want to tease you."

"I like you, did I tell you that."

Josh smiled, suppressing the boner that was forming in his pants.

He is going to push a hot girl with a stunning face and big breasts —

compared to what he used on earth. There are bigger though in the

background characters.

Josh hugged her as she increased her weight to a ton, and he started

kicking the ground as fast as possible.

Mikita, who didn't move an inch, looked at him as he was trying to push,

his head on her chest, and his hands on her waist.

Her cheeks were slowly turning pink.

Because their heights were close, his face was next to her breasts, and the

feeling of him trying to push was really nice.

As Josh was training, Mikita took of her white glove, put her hand on his

cheeks and gently started caressing.

"How cute," she teased.

Meanwhile, Josh was trying to run as fast as possible, so he wouldn't

form a boner that would hinder him. This sexual energy worked as

motivation.

After almost an hour, he could kick the ground 4 times in a row, gaining

their momentum instantly. his physical talent helped him understand the

technique very quickly.

Josh suddenly stopped when Mikita's hand directed his face's angle, up,

to her face.

She leaned, extended her lips, and Josh felt that he has to take a break.

they kissed and their tongues were exchanging saliva.

"Well, you could just start with this, instead of just doing that," Mikita

said as she put her hand on his chin.

Josh stood up, and he put his hand on her chin as well.

"What do you mean by that."

"You can just hug me, instead of acting like a cute guy who plays around,

wasting time, while he is shy to say he wants hugs," Mikita smirked.

"Mm… but I wasn't wasting my time, though."

Josh nodded.

He achieved a good result, and he started understanding the principle of

Shave technique.

"So, if I gave you my back, you would have done it." Her grin grew wider.

"We are not alone," Josh said, pointing there.

Mikita gave her back to him and lead on him, Josh felt her smooth body,

big arse hitting against his crotch, which sent a shiver to his back.

"Like, would you care about them?" She teased again. It seems that she

wasn't a person who cares about others' glances or get annoyed by them.

He wrapped his arms around her, and let his lips closer to her neck,

hugging her from behind.

"Who would deny a chocolate." Josh lost control, her smell and look were

good, and her full butt was hitting on his crotch.

He couldn't help but kiss her pale neck, which was delicious, making

Mikita moan as she starts melting in his arm.

"Not you, Joshy… mmm," Mikita closed her eyes, enjoying his kisses.

Josh just wished he could have sex. But still. Mikita was the type of girl

you would like to take your time with. But still, the temptation. The

foreplay was really strong.

Soon, after a while, Mikita turned, held his hand and stared into his eyes.

"You know what, Joshy." She started using a new pet name, Josh noticed.

"Yes."

"I want, you know, having more of this, to be sure." She was looking on

the ground.

Josh was curious. He never saw her blushing. But now, she is.

"Do you have time?"

"Yes. I want to monitor your training." She took her hands back and

smirked.

She thought that Josh was using training as an excuse to get closer to

her. Mikita thought it would be funny if she used his lie against him.

Josh smiled. "I don't think I would be focusing on training more like

that."

"By the way." She held his hand and looked at his eyes, grinning. "Can

you show me your technique, what have you developed."

"Nothing much. I was just trying to make new footwork, see."

Josh, since he understood the basics of Shave, can discover the rest

without her ability.

In a very quick movement, Josh's figure blurred and appeared three

meters back. Though, it wasn't as perfect as Josh was trying to reach,

since his figure is blurry, and doesn't vanish.

Mikita opened her eyes widely. "You were trying to make that. This, so

fast."

If she ever fought with him, with such technique, Josh can avoid her.

She suddenly frowned. "You aren't planning to use it to run away from

me."

"Why? Why would I?" Josh asked as he tilted his head.

"I'm just teasing you." Mikita smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Well, I'll help you after tomorrow, meanwhile, we should be ready for

promotions." Mikita jumped slightly as her weight became one kilo,

making her look like she was floating.

She held his hand again and said. "Aren't you excited?"

"Mm… I am, for other things." Josh said, his little brother throbbed in

response.

-x-X-x-

Time was passing. Josh used the next day, where he didn't meet his new

girlfriend, to train.

As it seems, his talent helped him a lot to discover Shave.

After a day or so, he managed to complete the technique.

Josh noticed that, while moving, this technique consumes a lot of

stamina.

However, it increased his strength and agility. It can be considered a

workout if he does it ten times each morning. It can increase his legs'

strength and stamina.

'I can even surpass it.'

Josh, with the talent he gained from the system, trained day and night,

trying to master the technique more, moving in different patterns, and

gaining higher speed in return, also, he tried to use it many times in a

row.

One day, he made a mistake and surpassed his body limits by a lot, and

by the new day, he found himself unable to move.

Luckily, he had the healing pill. After eating it, his body recuperated, and

Josh felt his body more adapted, more agile, and has more stamina.

During these days, Gem promoted to take the post of the current N10.

Mikita didn't take his slot, but she was promoted as well.

Same for Josh, who was now classed as a high officer, not so away from

an agent. Becoming an agent can have its benefit. Money can gain Josh

Draw Points. And agents seem to have a lot of money.

'Now, what to do next.' Josh thought while he was now sitting alone on

one street.

The people on this island were busy training.

Josh, who was holding a bottle of milk, was staring at a group of recruits

running.

One of them was a young princess blue-haired beauty.

Vivi.

Josh was trying to determine her age. Her chest looked in a good shape,

but it wasn't enough for him to find out her age based on that.

"By the way." Josh turned to see Mikita with a couple of drinks.

"Congratulation for promoting."

"Thanks. You too," Josh said as he kept drinking and placed her alcohol's

bottle next to his leg.

Mikita sat next to him and stared forward, seeing Josh looking at Vivi.

"You see something you like." She said, taking a sip from her drink.

"Guys doing their job," Josh said as he drank the milk.

"Hmm… not staring at the girls."

"Why would I. I have a cutie next to me."

"No, I'm the one who does have a cutie." Mikita just chuckled when she

turned and looked at Josh.

There was a moment of silence.

They had been dating for a week, and they have yet to take action.

Josh and Mikita were aware of that.

She thought that it may be related to his training, where he was trying to

develop techniques.

"Stop drinking milk." Mikita held the milk bottle from him.

Josh stared at her, eyes narrowed. Mikita took the alcohol bottle and

pushed it to his hand.

"Try this, it has a lemon taste."

"We shouldn't drink somewhere else," Josh said, looking around.

This island was meant to hunt pirates who come across it, and, it also

meant for training.

"I know. Why don't we go to my room? I have a big one for my own."

Mikita said as she leaned forward, pushing herself to him. "You know, I

may transfer after promotion. we may, you know, want to have some fun

before that."

"Let's head to your room then." Josh took the milk bottle and drank it in

one go, before throwing it and taking the alcohol glass.

Mikita smirked and held his arm as she walked next to him, guiding him

to a specific place.

Chapter 11: Chapter 11 (R-18)

(R-18. skip it if it's not your thing.)

After taking the last sip from his alcohol, Josh stared at Mikita who put

her keys in the lock, opening the door of her room, before walking

forward.

"Come in," she said and lit up the light as she entered.

Josh stared at her ass swaying as she was walking.

She surely was very attractive. Her body shape could be described with

perfection, with full hips that looked as soft as someone can imagine. Her

waist was slim, and her chest was quite big.

'I have to thank Oda for fan services.'

Josh took another sip from the bottle, entered, and put the bottle on the

nearest table that was next to him, and he looked around.

The room was average size, bigger than the place he's staying at.

It was painted in yellow, and there was a big bed in the middle, with a

closet for her clothes.

"So, Joshy, tell me, what do you like to do at the end of the night."

Mikita was making sure that Josh was staring at her hips. She threw her

heels off, turned, and sat on the bed.

"You," Josh said, looking at her.

Mikita, while making eye contact with her bright green eyes, put her

hand on the slit of her chest, cupping one of her breasts out, and

spreading her legs open, letting her panties appear through her short

dress.

She smiled. "You know what to do, or should I show you."

"Do you need to teach a bird how to breed?" Josh replied.

Mikita laughed. "No."

Josh was staring at her, eating her body with his eyes. Especially her tits.

He was focusing on her hard nipple.

She noticed a tent slowly forming in his pants as he slowly approached

her.

Josh, who was under the effect of alcohol, was guided by his instincts.

He put his hand on the back of her head, leaned forward, and sealed her

lips with his.

Mmmm… Moaning softly, Mikita closed her eyes and let her tongue

dance with his.

The kissing way made her feel her pussy twitch, in excitement for what

to come.

Quickly, she wrapped her arms around his neck, shifted her weight,

making Josh fall on her bed with his back.

"You like to take charge," Josh asked as he looked up, Mikita sitting on

his crotch.

She smiled. "Who knows. I like struggles." She said, her hand rubbing

against his bulge.

Josh felt a surge of pleasure running through his spine.

Her touch was so smooth that he felt like he never felt.

Mikita was surely more playful than his previous boss.

Seeing how patiently he was looking at her, Mikita got wet and leaned

forward, bitting Josh's bottom lip before kissing him up.

Josh, while enjoying her tongue's taste, took off her hat and threw it to

the corner, strands of her short smooth blonde hair falling on him.

While kissing, his hands reached her butt, touching her naked cheeks and

rubbing them.

"Hmmm…" Mikita moaned gently in his mouth, her pussy twitching from

his touch.

Slowly, she took her head back, panting, and looking at Josh who was

breathing fast, as he seemed to be out of the air as well.

"You know," Josh said, still breathing fast. "I won't mind you taking the

rest of my breath."

Upon hearing his words, she started moving her hips forward and back,

rubbing his little brother with her buxom asscrack.

"I only want to take something now."

"Say no more."

Mikita put her hands on the bottom of his shirt and lifted it, josh

extending his arms up so she took it off with ease.

Looking at his naked body, Mikita half closed her eyes.

Josh wasn't thin, neither bulky. He had six-packs, his chests muscles were

good looking, and his arms were ripped.

His shape was attractive.

Leaning forward, she couldn't help but start licking on his body.

Josh, all of the sudden, opened his eyes widely when she licked his chest

and her tongue met with his nipple.

'Hey, that's another level.' Josh said, not expecting that it would feel

pleasurable and so arousing that his D was throbbing non-stop.

But looking at how she was kissing him, Josh thought that she was doing

it based on instinct.

Soon, from his chest, Mikita put her head on his neck and started kissing

him, Josh closing his eyes and reaching his pants to take his pants down,

revealing his manhood under her hips.

"Well, someone is excited, isn't he." Mikita took her mouth back and

smiled.

Josh's neck was full of red kissing marks, same for his chest.

She knew that she aroused him good enough

"Mmm…" Josh nodded, and his D stood up and hit against her ass crack.

Mikita closed her eyes and started rubbing his cock with her ass cheeks,

making his manhood harder and harder.

Josh let out a small breath, expressing how much pleasure he is feeling

now.

"Well, it seems ready to go inside,"

After saying that, Mikita stood up on her knees, reached her panties, and

pushed them to the side, revealing her pink small pussy, which was

soaked wet, her scent spreading across the room.

Josh, looking at her face, felt more tempted than ever.

He reached with his hands forward, held her boobs, and gently, he

started rubbing them with his hands, cupping her breasts and pinching

her nipples often.

Moaning silently, and while still wearing her dress, Mikita held Josh's

cock.

The length was long, and it was surprisingly thick, as she couldn't close

her hand around it.

After a twitch from her pussy, she adjusted the angle of the dangle, her

pussy slit being pierced by the shaft and extending all the way.

"Oh…"

She closed her eyes as she started slowly sitting on his cocks, her pussy

walls extending.

She took her time sitting on it, stretching her pussy for him. Opening her

mouth, she let a small long moan when it hit her G spot.

Josh raised his head and let a small moan.

He felt another kind of pleasure as each part of her wet vagina was

massaging his shaft.

"Josh… Ohh… I think I'm in love… Oh"

Mikita moved her hips, letting Josh's cock have more pleasure as she

does.

"I know." Josh started slamming with his strong hips. The tall girl could

take all of his grith soon, and she seemed to enjoy her time when the

pain turned into pleasure.

"Just that. Mmmm…"

Her vagina clenched on him when she leaned forward.

Josh leaned up and sealed her lips with his, each was moaning in the

other's mouth.

Josh never thought he would find the sex as wild as this one.

A crazy girl has her extra.

Mikita moaned in his mouth, her hips slamming against his balls and

producing the sound.

Josh wrapped his arms around her and started slamming.

Because of their physical strength, it would be needless to say it would

take many hours for them before they are over. Or until his balls are

empty. This is likely to happen if her vagina keeps getting tight as of

now.

Mikita stopped moving her tongue in his mouth all of the sudden.

Josh felt her weight becoming limp, as she rested herself on him, and her

pussy got tighter.

"Joshy…" whispering in his ear, she said. "I'm flooding."

Before Josh could even realise it, a huge amount of juices wrapped

around his cock, making him smell the beautiful scent of her.

"Oh… Joshy…" Mikita moaned next to his ear, perking his ear.

"Chocolate."

Josh felt that he would come soon.

The pleasure this tight cunt is giving was so much for him that he is

cumming soon.

Turning, he flipped Mikita on her stomach and was about to pull back.

But, she wrapped her legs around him, and increased her weight, making

him standstill in his place.

"Mikita. I'm going to cum. Kids…" Josh, despite having the desire to cum

in her, still had a bit of rationality.

With each second he resists letting his load go, the hotter, and the more

pleasure he felt coming from his balls.

"Oh… I still want you in me." Her legs were long enough not to let him

slip. "Besides, I ate my pill."

Josh, who had been holding, released his hot semen.

"Oh…" it was one kind of pleasure that he never tasted as he pushed all

he has in.

Soon, he leaned forward, lips smashing her delicious full lips.

Just a few more kisses and his d became the D. The legendary D that is

known to cause troubles where it goes and make the drylands flood.

"Someone is hard again." Mikita was feeling more ready for more

pleasure.

She looked up.

Josh, currently, owned her.

"Your tight pussy better be ready for me."

Josh patted her golden hair, and slowly, he started moving his hips.

Chapter 12: Chapter 12

After having sex with Mikita, which was quite kinky, Josh had to

continue with his life.

Mikita, after her promotion, had a mission outside the island.

So, of course, she had to leave.

Before leaving, she gave a strong kiss to Josh and told him this. "You

better promote quickly. I may get stressed, and I need you quickly."

Josh just smiled and kissed her back, feeling better than ever, and more

motivated to get stronger.

Now that he mastered Shave and could move very fast. With such a

technique, Josh should be able to do more risky missions with more ease.

After all, Shave's level was higher than Baroque Work's arc. And Josh was

trying to develop new footwork out of it. But, for now, he is happy with

what he got, and he can develop it with all of the time he has.

After Mikita left, Josh started working on himself.

Josh made sure to order a weapon from the organisation. Since Kung Fu

is a martial art that has weapons in it, Josh ordered some daggers.

Josh, within this week, continued training his body and martial arts.

Soon, some pirate ship approached their island.

Josh, just like everyone else, followed the protocol. They acted friendly

with pirates and gave them drinks, making them drunk. After that, they

attacked them.

Josh, with his martial arts and Shave, had an easier time than his peers

as he would use his super-speed technique to appear behind them and

slash their nerves in their legs.

Josh, even after coming living in this world for a while, still hesitated

when it comes to killing for no reason. He just wounded his foes, and it

felt bad for him. However, he suppressed that and showed a ruthless

facial expression.

'Well, it's just for money.' Killing for money alone gives a bad taste.

Josh made a great performance compared to his peers here. A couple of

days later, Josh got a mission from the headquarter, which he

immediately knew that it was a test.

He took a ship with a couple of officers, Mike, which he knew from his

previous task with the dead Mr. 10, and someone else, who fight using

dual bats.

Josh knew his target, 20 million berries Pirate captain, Sorrow. His crew's

worth is 30 million. If Josh leads the mission successfully, he will get 10

million, while the rest would be disturbed between the headquarter of

Baroque Works and the materials used in the mission.

Well, Josh found it logical that Baroque asking for a high share. They

provide poison, potions, exploding barrels to them, and an army to assist

them.

These would help the pirate hunters to take stronger pirates with ease.

And of course, it's not for free.

Soon, the mission started when they arrived at the island. Josh has made

a formation for the men and finished instructing them. He, soon, sneaked

to the pirates' rations and poured the sleeping potion on them, making

them sleep at night.

When the mid of the night arrived, Josh and his group arrived. It was an

easy fight with pirates being sleepy and barely able to see much less

fight.

However, it seemed, the captain was unaffected by the medicine Josh

made.

"Bastard, you think I eat in the night. I fuck bitches this time!" Expressed

his anger, Sorrow.

Sorrow was a bulky man with missed eye and a sharp hook instead of a

real hand.

He soon dashed at Josh.

Josh couched lowly, a dagger in one hand, and the other making a claw.

When Sorrow was about to hit him, Josh waved his dagger up and used

Shave to move back.

The two movements were used at the same time.

Josh just appeared behind, with the dagger up.

"What…" Sorrow growled at Josh, who disappeared in front of his eye

and appeared five meters back. When the words left his mouth, blood

gashed out of a wound that appeared on Sorrow's chest.

Taking advantage of Sorrow's shock, Josh used Shave Twice to move, and

he appeared next to Sorrow's leg, waving the dagger and cutting the

veins there.

"Brat!"

Sorrow turned and slammed. Josh placed his hand on the ground and

pushed himself up, jumping and dodging.

With that, Josh continued his movements, waving the dagger whenever

he had a chance. After ten minutes, even with Sorrow's strong will, he

was out of the blood and fell on the ground.

"Take him back, we are going to deliver them," Josh said, looking up to

the sky.

There was an eagle, clothed, and a cat above it. The cat wore cute clothes

and sunglasses.

The cat, somehow, was holding a pencil and writing things.

Josh knew that these two were agents in Baroque Works, and they have

been watching his performance.

-x-X-x-

As expected, a day after coming back from the mission, Josh found that

he was promoted to an actual number in Baroque work.

He is no longer an officer, but an Agent.

"Mr. 9, currently."

As it seems, the previous Mr.8 and Mr 9 has died, leaving their spots for

free.

In Baroque Works, agents die occasionally.

However, he never heard that someone, from Ms. 6 to Mr. 1 has died.

Well, those people are very strong, so it was expectable.

Josh just threw the promotion letter to the corner. He has just gotten his

10 million Berries, along with 1 million berries from the previous week.

"Good," he, somehow, found that he could put them inside of the system.

[How much do you want to transfer into Draw Points?]

The system asked him. Josh seemed to have the option of how much he

can spend.

But he thought, would it worth to wait for more, or think if he should try

to see if he can gain something. However, currently, he was making

money well, and he was an agent.

The system wasn't giving him tasks, which implied that he wasn't risking

his life. Only when his life on the line, the system would give him a task

under the name of gambling.

"Hey, Joshy."

Josh was surprised by Mikita's visit, as he was sitting behind the gym's

building.

"Hey, chocolate."

After he opened his arm, the two of them hugged and exchanged kisses

for some time. Josh, somehow, missed this girl.

"Joshy, I've thought about you during my mission."

"So was I," Lied Josh.

"I know. You better be." Mikita nodded.

Josh just smirked.

"Congratulation before becoming Mr. 9 by the way, did they find you a

partner yet?" Mikita asked.

In Baroque works, each male agent has a female agent that assists him.

They should be good at teamwork. Mikita had been with the previous

Mr.9 before he promotes, which happened to be Gem.

"No." Josh shook his head, "I think it's up to the headquarter."

"Great then" Mikita's eyes lit up. "I will apply to be your partner, saying

that we make a great teamwork."

For her, it is better to choose a partner who can save her from drawing,

and she is dating him. This way, she can keep an eye on him.

Josh opened his eyes widely. Great. If Mikita joined him, then there is the

possibility of…

"This is great." Josh smiled as he rubbed her hand.

"By the way, I got my first paycheck," Mikita said, lifting her hand and

rolling around. "I made 15 million Berries, and that was just the paycheck

of the first month. Boss is really generous, even when there is no job."

As it seems, agents, unlike officers, gets big rewards.

Josh's eyes lit up. "That much!?"

"Yes. Well. I think Baroque Works accumulated a lot of money."

Mikita lowered her head.

She had a dream to achieve. But money can make people change their

minds.

'I'm not in hurry.' She thought in herself as she smiled at Josh's face.

"Truly. He has a lot of money." Josh nodded.

As he had seen, many agents would die occasionally after hunting many

pirates. Crocodile must have made so much profit. Moreover, Crocodile

has a casino.

'I want to know, how much money he has.'

Josh looked to the side, his academic brain doing the math.

Mikita's face suddenly flashed in front of him, shocking him and snapping

him out of his thought process.

"What are you thinking about"

"Just how to steal a kiss."

Josh took the initiative to kiss her as he hugged her from the waist.

While enjoying the kiss, his brain was thinking of something else other

than having sex.

'I can get a lot of Draw Points if I take Crocodile's money.'

[Ding, New gamble. The Grand Heist from Warlord. Do you gamble (y/

n)]

While Mikita's tongue was tickling him, Josh opened his eyes widely.

Mikita took her lips back. "Well, you have to miss me a lot to open your

eyes like this. Fine, say no more. We can have that."

Mikita gave him her back and pushed her hips against his crotch. She

thought that Josh's heart was taken by her. Meanwhile, Josh was

thinking about how many risks there are for him to trigger such a

mission.

Chapter 13: Chapter 13

Mr.9 was looking at the roof. Mikita's naked body was hugging his. the

only thing that covered them was a thin bedsheet.

He was thinking about the gamble he had got from his system.

The rewards are, for now, the biggest ones he ever had.

The consequences, on the other hand, he has to take, are very severe.

[Ding, task: Grand Heist.

Crocodile, in order to achieve his dreams, has accumulated a lot of

money, enough to take a country down.

Any amount that near can change your life.

Objective:

-Takedown crocodile.

Or

-Take all of his wealth.

-Rewards:

1 Mystery Box tier 5 (+legend rank.)

2 Mystery box tier 3 (+Execllent rank)

50 Draw Points.

What you are betting on:

Your life. ( A high chance to die)

Time Limit: Two months.

Do you accept, 'y/n']

Although these are the most tempting rewards he may get, the most ones

that can change his life, this is the riskiest task he had ever gotten.

Mikita had been calming him earlier by pounding him on the bed,

however, that nervousness of making a big decision like that is still there.

Josh would move around to think, if not for Mikita using her weight to

stop him from moving.

'Dang it!'

With his heart pounding faster, he put his choice on yes.

He got a new life, a really big chance.

If he doesn't try to hit the jackpot, why is he here in the first place?

-x-X-x-

[Mission has been accepted.]

Josh was currently moving on a boat.

"What are you thinking of, Mister 9."

"Nothing, Miss Valentine."

Josh turned to Mikita, who had been looking at his facial expression all

along. Josh had been, for sure, deeply thinking.

"Are you planning to propose to me?"

"I don't believe in marriages," Josh said as he turned to her.

Mikita lifted an eyebrow. "Why."

"I don't need a contract to enter a relationship with you, or make you my

woman," Josh said as he held her hands.

As a lawyer, an intern who entered the court many times, Josh had learnt

one thing.

Marriages, to men on Earth, are riskier than gambling with the system on

his life. You can lose your half wealth, and then spend most of your life

working on someone else.

Josh was from a newer generation, a wiser one, who don't mess with

laws.

"Hmm… it's not like there are official papers here." She said, narrowing

her eyebrows. "You know, marines and pirates don't care. You can marry

as much as you want."

This world was a kingdom world. The celestial dragons have made more

ancient laws about marriages and all. In a time where pirates kill people

occasionally in large numbers, counter measurements were created. They

encourage marriages and having kids, multi marriages in fact.

Josh just nodded. "So, what do we do for now," Josh said.

Mikita took her hand and walked around, sighing. "We will wait for that

snail. Boss would call us at any minute. We are official numbers. Let us

promote quickly."

She then raised her fist. "And crush every pirate on our ways."

"I'm feeling jealous," Josh said. Mikita lifted her eyebrow. Josh continued.

"I want to be crushed instead."

"Hmm… how about the night, after we reach the seaport."

"Why not here." Josh held her waist and grabbed her closer.

Mikita smiled. "You know. The idea of a possible danger arriving at us,

like sea monsters, or pirates running to us, while we fuck, excites me."

Josh flinched. That's right. "How about you suck me and eat you out.

That way we can be alerted"

"Deal." They clapped hands together.

-x-X-x-

Josh, after having post-nut clarity, was thinking about the mission.

He has only two months.

He looked to the side. Since he would possibly betray the Baroque Works,

he thought of his partner.

'I will convince her when the time comes.' Josh thought about convincing

her to join his side, against Crocodile and getting his wealth, however,

there is a risk that something would split out.

He didn't worry too much. The girl is only in the organisation to have

money. Nothing personal.

"Oh, Joshy, I'm bored." Mikita, whose scent is feeling the air, said as she

was leaning on a barrel, looking at the sky and waving her hat in front of

her face.

"Relax, we may get a mission soon."

Josh then started a light chat. She talked and he just nodded at whatever

she said, not really understanding it, but pretending to listen.

After a while, on the table in the middle of the ship, the DenDenMushi,

which happened to be a snail that replaces the phone, rang.

"Mr 9 is with you," Josh said.

Since he is a part of Baroque works now, he isn't allowed to use his real

name.

The same rule applies to Ms Valentine, aka Mikita,

"Oy, you are the new rising one. Mr. 9" Said a deep voice from the snail.

"Yes, may I know who is calling me?"

"Mr. 1." Said Mr. 1.

"What can I do for you," Josh said.

"Do they teach you to talk like that to your seniors," said Mister One.

"Ara Ara~. Mr 1. Mr 9 is just a young boy. He barely had been here for a

month with us. Don't scare him away." came a feminine seductive voice

from the snail. Mr. 1 isn't alone as it seems.

Mikita and Josh looked at each other strangely, imagining the face of

Mr.1 upon hearing his partner talking.

Josh and Mikita suppressed their chuckle.

"Whatever. Mr 9." Mr.1 seemed to ignore his partner.

"Yes." Josh nodded.

"There is a mission. The previous Mr.9 has failed to accomplish it.

Currently, there is a group of pirates that managed to kill the previous

Mister. It's for you to hunt."

"Alright, send me the location."

"Hm." Mr.1 thought for a brief and said. "Do you need any assistance?"

"Nothing really. Just information, few supplies, and I'm good to go."

"Alright. Meet one of our crews on the way, Contract them and meet

them at Whisky Peak."

Whiskey Peak was one of the islands which the Baroque Works occupy.

"Roger that." Josh leaned back on the deck.

"You know how to talk formerly, it seems."

Josh just nodded.

The call then turned off.

The snail, which had been acting like a phone, started acting like fax, and

had a printed paper out of it, telling Josh about the location of the

pirates. Josh picked it up and read it.

As it appears, no mission was triggered for him.

"So, what did we get ourselves into?" Mikita picked her yellow hat and

put it on her head.

Currently, she was wearing a yellow dress, knee level, with lemon

patterns all along.

Throwing the paper to the side, Josh said.

"20 million worth pirate. How good are we be in a sea battle." Josh

turned and asked her.

"Well… I'm a devil fruit user, so."

Chapter 14: Chapter 14

"Ms Valentine, now!"

Josh, who was on the boat, was currently guiding the ship he was at with

Mikita.

Behind them was a colossal pirate ship. Not only so, but their number is

huge.

The two of them had a small boat compared to the ship of the pirate.

This gave them the advantage of being faster. If one looked carefully

behind them, they would notice that many cannonballs were missing

them because of the distance.

Josh can easily assume that they are more than fifty or sixty pirates, with

only a few being strong.

Fighting such a number can be exhausting, that's for sure, even for Josh.

However, he had a plan. It needed, however, for them to approach the

beach first.

Currently, Josh was holding Mikita with a rope tied around her waist,

and she was holding two barrels, each one had the tag. "TNT."

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Josh asked, wariness on his face.

"I have never been more assured, Mister 9. Kyahahaha." Mikita started

laughing, entering her battle maniac mode.

Honestly, that laugh of hers scared Josh. This girl, when it comes to

fights, is sadistic and fearless. If Josh let her do what she please, she may

even torture the guys.

'Luckily, she isn't sadistic when it comes to bed.'

"Now, be ready." As soon as they got near the beach, Josh lifted Mikita

and threw her toward the pirate ship. She flipped as she was above them

now, with the barrels in her hand.

As she looked down, she laughed like she was enjoying this.

The barrels had two burning strings that would blow up a few seconds

later.

The barrels fell on the ship and the pirates looked at Mikita like she was

a crazy person.

Mikita, soon, increased her weight and fell down on the deck, crushing it

and making it lose balance.

Mikita then made weight one kilo, allowing Josh to pull her back with

ease.

As she landed on his arms, like a princess, she put her hand on Josh's

cheek and approached for a kiss.

"Wow, you are so light," Josh said.

"How about a heavy kiss then."

"We have few seconds."

"Enough for me."

She leaned forward, and the two of them started kissing as Josh was

lifting her.

*BOOM*

Behind them, a yellow flash appeared, followed by fire and explosive

smoke rising.

The pirates were flying up, falling to the beach and the sea. Some even

were missing their limbs, and most of the crew was harmed. Because of

Mikita's previous action, there weren't so many lucky that could have the

time to even think about jumping to the sea.

As the waves pushed their ship to the beach, Josh pulled his tongue back.

*Muah*

He helped his current partner to stand up.

The rest of the destroyed remains landed on the beach with them.

"You, you bastards!"

Josh turned. As it seems, the captain, who was a man around 170 cm,

with two swords, survived.

Next to him was his vice, as Josh knew that guy from his poster. The vice

worth around 10 million.

"Can you be less classical," Josh said.

Why only the captain and their vice do survive. Why not the normal

pirates? Well, some of them did, but they aren't in condition to fight

anyway.

Mikita took her umbrella and floated up.

Meanwhile, Josh decided to take the swordsman.

The swordsman seemed to be strong and had more strength in his arm

than Josh.

But, with Josh's speed, he appeared behind him after he threw a knife at

the pirate's back.

By the time the swordsman parried that thrown knife, Josh appeared

behind him, a dagger in his hand. Josh waved the blade on the distracted

swordsman, making him fall down.

"I won't give up on my dream." The swordsman said.

"Sure, you can always dream when sleeping," Josh said. "Just don't wake

up."

He then kicked the captain in the face, making him lose conciseness.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Mikita managed to defeat the guy. She

was standing on him, while the man was groaning in pain.

"You can handle one ton. Great. How about 5000 kilos."

Ms, Valentine had a wide grin, which made the vice-captain feel fear.

After all, this woman was torturing him with no mercy.

Josh was staring at her. He could tell that man was dying in fear.

After the man was knocked out, probably broken to the morrow, Mikita

walked next to Josh and hit him on the shoulder.

"Why are you looking at me like I'm crazy?" Mikita asked him.

"According to which mental health standards." If Josh decided to act

rationally in One Piece world, he would be the crazy one.

"Kyahahaha."

"Hahaha."

After a small laugh at how smooth Josh was, they picked up the boxes on

the ground.

When they checked it up, they noticed that it was full of gold and berries,

worth more than the pirates' worth.

"What should we do about it?" Mikita looked at Josh. "You know, let's

just split it, boss can't know anything as long as we don't tell him."

Josh stared at her. She rubbed her small nose.

Josh then said. "I believe that he may have some initial knowledge.

Probably someone is spying on us. How about…" Josh leaned forward

and started whispering. "You know that annoying bird. Anyway, hear the

plan, I'll take half of these things, using my speed, I'll sell them, while

you, on the other hand, exchange the rewards with the pirates' bodies.

And then, we will handle the half reward."

There was almost 35 million.

Josh would handle crocodiles only twenty million and split the rest with

Mikita.

Meanwhile, half of the gold would be theirs.

Mikita took a step back and looked at Josh, who was smart enough to see

the situation from angles that she couldn't see.

She smiled. Had her partner being someone else, she wouldn't even

suggest that. the two of them handed the pirate to the nearest marine

base and asked for a reward.

They got, this time, however, 2/3 of the reward to split with them, while

the rest goes to the Baroque Works for allowing them to use their

materials.

On the other hand, Josh had gotten a total of 40 million. He handed

Mikita half of it. Even though she is his girlfriend now, he won't take her

money.

Mikita had been happy with this and promised Josh a share if she ever

achieved her dream, and of course, a reward in advance, which happened

to be sex in the middle of the sea.

'Now, I have 41 million berries.'

"Josh, I made something,"

Mikita handed Josh a chocolate cake and some lemon, which he ate on

their way back to the nearest Baroque Works' base.

"Thanks."

Mikita sat next to him, put her head on his thigh, and started taking a

nap.

Josh started caressing her hair while looking at the sea.

He opened the system, and he put 40 million Berries for 40 Draw Points.

Meanwhile, it would be better to accumulate more Draw Points. He

needed to use them on the luckiest days, before trying to mess with a

Warlord.

Chapter 15: Chapter 15

After that day, Josh usual, or unusual, life continued. Each night, the

thought that he has two months time limit to go against one of the seven

Warlords. It always takes the sleep away from his eyes. The only thing

that would let him sleep back is his woman, who was by his side for now.

For now, Josh didn't have many missions. He and Mikita can stay in the

base or just move around the islands and hunt pirates within their level if

they ever met one.

Josh accumulated more than ten million berries, and Mikita was happy

with the wealth they are making. She even started thinking that life is

good with what they are gaining. Still, she was wondering where Josh

was spending his money for it to vanish like that.

She even had asked him if he had a bad habit of gambling, which Josh

just laughed at weirdly, making her suspicious of him.

But of course, he was gambling.

'Alright, show me something good.'

While spending Draw Points, Josh learnt new things.

For example, spending 10 points guarantee having an above-average

reward.

And, as it seems, 20 or more give me a high chance to get an excellent

rank.

And of course, there were chances of having Epic and Legend, which

depends on his luck.

Mikita was right. Josh is gambling his money.

Josh had put ten points once, and twenty another time, gaining him two

things.

Meanwhile, the other ten points were left in case if he felt lucky to draw

ten times in another day.

[+ Healing Pill (Good Rank) (heals wounds by 60%)]

[+ Heracles Elixir (Excellent rank) (Add 500 Kilo strength) ]

And thanks to that, Josh got stronger, while he kept the pill for

dangerous situations.

"Alright, Sweety. I will let you work out. We will take a shower together

after."

"I'll come very soon." Josh felt seduced by her.

"Work out well. I need more stamina." Mikita said with a low seductive

voice as she gave her back to Josh and went to the cabin.

"Don't worry, I'll surely do my best."

Josh was doing push-ups on his fingers, having a hard time keeping up

with doing it more than two hundred times. his strength that excelled at

the 1.2 tons point.

By the time to do his mission come, Josh wanted to make sure that he

would be strong enough/ So, he spent the time practising. He was doing

this for himself, not for anyone else. He has everything to win. So, he

would never stop practising and doing his job.

And of course, he had as much love as he could with Mikita. One can't

underestimate mating. On Earth, each sex session consumes a lot of

energy. In this world, where people's bodies can handle more, mating

uses more energy, which makes it considered one of the most perfect

training for stamina increasing.

Facts don't lie.

In the passing days, Josh was getting stronger, and he was collecting

money. Unfortunately for him, not many pirates with good rewards were

passing. Most of them were 5-15 million. And, each time, Josh found that

he has an easier time with them. He mastered Kung Fu, some freestyle

techniques, and he could even develop Shave to be faster and less linear.

Talent played a role, after all. And each time, beating pirates was getting

easier. Moreover, his partner alone could do the rest of the job.

Josh got his first paycheck, which is pure money without having a pirate

head hunter, and it happened to be 5 million. Not a lot but not low. Josh

kept a million for his expensive and traded the rest for points, making

him have 14 Draw Points.

Mr. 9 and Ms Valentine, because of their performance, were directly

given a higher number, when the previous owner was lost.

Josh became Mr. 7 now, while Mikita still Ms Valentine.

One day, Josh was resting on one island, drinking lemon juices with

Mikita. It was a holiday like a day, which he and his partner spent in a

rented house on a random island.

Josh was laying next to Mikita, both were topless and facing the sun.

"It's sour," Josh said

"Don't you like it?" Mikita turned and looked at him.

"It's light." He commented.

"Hmm… Do you like heavy things?"

She gave him a meaningful glance.

"I like them in perfect shape, heavy or light."

Josh smiled at her face. Mikita half closed her eyes and pushed herself

into him.

As partners, their life was good. Both would hunt pirates and doing tasks,

gaining money, and then they can travel and relax on different islands,

enjoying their time. If not for the pills she is taking, Mikita would think

that she would be pregnant soon.

As they were about to kiss, only a couple centimetres separating between

their lips, a sound rang around.

Bero… Bero…

The snail, which was on a table near to them, started ringing like a

phone.

Josh sighed. Mikita turned her head to the snail with an annoyed

expression on her face.

"Do we have to…" Josh said, annoyed.

"Yes. It's the protocol. You know, the previous Mr. 8 ignored their call,

and he vanished" Mikita rolled her eyes.

"You know, don't you wish you can rebel." Josh patted her on the

shoulder and stood up.

"I wish. But only if we were strong enough."

Mikita looked at his back. She raised her eyebrow. Josh, at that moment,

had a hidden smirk. Mikita, for real, was opened to the idea of betraying

Crocodile.

"What if were we strong?" Josh asked; his hand on the snail.

Mikita looked at the sky, thought for a second, before answering. "We'll

be rich. But who dares to go against Mr. 0. Why are you asking?"

"Who knows?"

After giving her a nod, Josh picked up the DenDenMushi. Mikita looked

over him.

"Understood." Josh, after nodding, said.

He then closed the call and turned to her.

"What?" She asked.

"We have a cooperation mission. Mr 1 and Miss Double Finger needs to

cooperate. They found a group of pirates, total worth 100 million Berries.

The captain is 55 million, and the rests share the reward. Also and Mr.3

is coming. It seems we are the only non-busy ones."

"Hey, how would we share the money then." Mikita stood up, came from

behind, and wrapped her hands around Josh's abs.

"Who knows. Sounds like an experience." Josh turned his head, to see her

face. "We have some time before we move, you know."

"I know." She just lowered her head.

"Something bothering you?" Josh asked.

"To asks for helper, not to mention, the bounty, it makes me think it is

dangerous…" Mikita just smiled.

"The Mikita I know would laugh when facing such a thing," Josh said.

"She will. She is just worried about exhausting you now, which would put

you to danger later." Mikita said.

"You wish," Josh said, feeling challenged. They then started kissing,

making Josh feel aroused, before The two of them picked up their clothes

and moved to the boat, to the place where they were supposed to meet

with the others.

Chapter 16: Chapter 16

After getting a call about cooperation from Mister 1, Josh and Mikita

took their boat, which was quite big, and they moved to the meeting

island.

One would always wonder how can the Baroque Works members move

easily within the Grand Line, which is a place where it's so easy to lose

your way.

It wasn't a problem.

Josh has many Eternal Poses, which would always guide to one island,

and move to all of the bases in this part.

Also, there are some maps, which merchants, marines, and some smart

pirates, uses.

Josh, soon arrived at a small island, which happened to be next to one of

the Baroque Works' islands.

Josh, who is now Mr. 7, walked around with his partner, Ms Valentine,

who was having her umbrella open to avoid the sun rays.

They reached soon a cafe shop, which was occupied completely.

"You have arrived."

Josh heard the voice.

When he turned, he saw the previous Mister 5, who had tested him.

He had his hair in the pattern of 3.

"Let me guess, you are Mr. 3 now."

Josh said, seeing the man having a different hairstyle with another

number.

Mr.3 nodded. "Yes, Mister Seven."

"And who is this little girl."

Josh turned to see the smallest women he had ever seen — in this world.

She was around 145 cm tall, had reddish-brown hair, which was tied in

pigtails braids above her Head

"I'm not a little girl... I'm an adult, you're a little man for someone from

Grand Line…" She said, pointing a brush toward Josh, half closing his

eyes.

"Easy girl. I'm taller than your partner" Josh raised both his hands and

looked down to the girl who was a head shorter than him.

He was holding his urge to chuckle.

Mikita shot the little girl a glare and showed all of her teeth with one

vicious smile.

It could scare the little woman a bit.

"Ms Golden-week, please, don't act aggressively. We are within the same

organisation. Mr.7, sit down and order something until Mr. 1 arrive."

Josh sat down, grabbed a coffee, and started sipping.

Ms Golden-week extended her tongue toward him, but seeing that he was

ignoring her, she just sighed and kept silent.

She took a piece of paper and started drawing with her brush.

Time passed, Mr. 3 opened a chat with Josh.

"You promoted quickly. You are using your head, as it seems." Said Mr 3.

"You too." Josh looked at him.

"I think Boss knows that brain is more than muscle," replied Mr. 3. He

had been there when Josh had been tested. Josh had an average strength,

and barely a fighting experience. However, he managed to use his head

and emerged as a winner in the end.

Mikita, on the other hand, had been strong from the start thanks to her

Devil Fruit, so it wasn't amazing that she promoted quickly.

"He does, for sure," Josh commented and then took a sip from the coffee.

The door of the cafe shop was opened.

Turning, Josh saw two people.

One of them was a tanned man with a shaved head.

He had a bulky muscled body and he was tall, around 210 cm tall. His

muscles were apparent through the opened black shirt he was wearing,

other than that, he was having lousy sweat pants, and traditional shoes.

Josh knew him immediately. Mr. 1.

Besides him was also a tall woman. She was round 187 cm without heels.

Her body was hourglass shape, and her chest was big. Her waist was slim

as well, and her walking way seemed to be sexy, as it focuses on showing

her curves.

The clothes had a BDSM theme, black pants and black bras, matching her

curly black hair and green eyes.

'Is this like, Manga version.' Josh thought about a different detail.

This woman should have blue hair in the Anime.

Yet here, her hair was black.

Still, she was tall and has huge boobs.

It was easy to say that it wasn't an Anime version, since they change hair

colours. Also, even if her waist was thin, it was in logical size here.

"Ara Ara, I see that everyone is here. Don't blame us for being late."

She gave a teasing wink as she took a seat and sat.

Mr.1 sat down as well.

"So, when are we going to move." Said Mister Three.

Mr One looked at him. He took a deep breath, before saying. "Listen, to

make myself clear, first, I don't really need your help."

"We know your strength, but you still asked for our help." Mr Three

replied, showing that Mr One can't be as bossy.

"You are right. I will deal with the captain while my partner with the

Vice. You can make a strategy, and the others would fight. It would let us

rest sooner. I want to finish the annoying mission as soon as possible."

Josh, who was sitting at the sides, relaxed his lips and raised his

eyebrows.

"Ara~ Ara~. Aren't you the boy who was Mr.9 almost a month ago?"

Doublefinger said as Josh caught her attention with his mocking

expression toward Mr.1.

"Mm… I got lucky. Thanks for giving me that mission, though." Josh said.

"Work hard little boy. Who knows if you can get better chances in the

future." She said as she winked, catching Josh's eyes to her thick lips.

"He isn't little." Mikita glared at Doublefinger. But as the latter put her

hand on her face and glared back, Mikita turned her face.

"Mind telling me where you find him big?" Doublefinger leaned forward

until her face was closer to Mikita.

"Ahem." Josh faked a cough. "We have a mission, remember."

He and the other agents stood up and left, followed by their female

partners.

-x-X-x-

"Around you."

Josh heard Mikita's warning, as she was flying in the sky with her

umbrella.

Josh's body turned into a blur, before hr appeared behind the pirate,

squatting, and giving him an inside kick that sent him flying away. Josh

then used his agility to flip and punch another guy flying.

Although they were bigger and had thicker muscles, Josh could fight

easily. All this is thanks to Mister 3 strategy. He had made his partner,

Ms Goldenweek uses her art to make the pirates feel low. As it seems,

Goldenweek paints are like hypnosis, they can make others affected by

them, and pirates were feeling low esteem now.

Meanwhile, a big bunch of them was covered in hard wax, barely able to

move. Josh, with his speed and strength now, had a good time punching

even those who didn't get caught by the wax.

On the other hand, he wasn't the most eye-catching one.

If one looked around, Ms Double Finger was having an easier time.

She was just walking loosely after stabbing the vice-captain to death.

When a bunch of pirates approached her, many spikes grew out of her

body, which was sharp enough to pierce rocks easily, let alone some

pirates with flesh and bones.

Heck, they died with ease.

She then continued walking, looking for survivors.

'How could Nami win against her in the first place.' Josh thought as he

looked at Double Finger, and her huge ass swaying for a brief.

She surely deserves the title of the second strongest woman in Baroque

Work, though she can defeat the first one easily.

"Josh, if you want to look at something, look here, my ass is better from

this angle."

Josh just smirked when he heard Mikita, lifting his head and seeing her

panties through her yellow dress. She just smiled back. "Don't worry, I

prefer yours."

"Kyahahaha." Mikita flew and fell on someone, crushing their bones with

ease.

Josh, since he finished fighting, swept a sweat drop from his forehead

and looked at Mr One, who was crossing his arms and looking at the

pirates' boss, waiting for him to make a move.

Sneering, the pirate captain dashed toward Mr. 1, his fingers were made

of steel, sharp one.

Mr. 1 opened his eyes, and then, he extended his hands forward. The

captain waved his claws, which just produced a metal clash sound upon

meeting with Mr. 1 body.

As the pirate showed his shock, Mr One's hands, fingers to be more exact,

turned into silver blades.

"Useless. Mr. 1 body, any part, can turn into a blade. He has eaten Dice

Dice. Which means, the sound of slicing." Ms Double Finger explained.

By the time her words ended, Mr One waved his hand, and deep wounds

appeared on the chest of the captain, before he fell on his feet, looking at

Mr One with wide-opened eyes.

"cool." Josh crossed his arms.

"By the way," Mr. 3 came to the scene.

"Yes,"

"You grew up strong too fast."

"Depending on the speed you consider regular."

"Mr 3. Don't you know that young boys grow faster? Isn't that right, Mr.7-

Chan." Doublefinger entered the chat since she had time for that.

"I think girls grow faster." Josh, upon hearing her remark, turned his

head and lifted his head to meet her eyes. "Maybe not..." He then felt

something wrong and was about to turn his head again.

"Don't look at me." Ms Goldenweek was looking at the ground.

"Hahaha…" Doublefinger came and patted Golden week on her head,

teasing her for being short.

"Kyahaha… someone is shy." Mikita also couldn't help but laugh.

Josh just shrugged his shoulders when Goldenweek glanced at him.

Soon, they started collecting those who have bounty from the ground.

Meanwhile, Josh had a sore feeling when he saw Mr. 1 lifting boxes full

of gold, as he was making his way to the ship. Such amount. Ah… if he

only had known about this group before the Baroque Works do, he would

have stolen the gold. But it doesn't worth trying to get it now, since Mr

One is loyal to Crocodile, and Josh doesn't think that he strong enough to

fight him, yet.

This made Josh think that he needs more time, before going for the final

mission. As they were about to depart after the mission, Mr. 3 suggested.

"By the way, how about a small drink, before departing for our bases."

"Sounds cool for me," Josh said.

"Mmm… I like drinking. Only vodka, though," Mikita approved.

"Do whatever you like." Mr. 1 crossed his arms.

"No one tells me I shouldn't drink." Goldenweek looked at Josh, who was

ignoring her.

"Fine, I like drinking, but not too much. Boss can get angry." Ms

Doublefinger said, stretching her arms and moaning as she saw refreshed

after waking up, not as she had just killed some guys and all.

CREATORS' THOUGHTS

15 chapters ahead at patréon

www.p atreon.com/Blazuki

Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Inside a tavern, in a random place in the Grand Line.

'I won't share the bill with anyone.'

Josh thought as he started sipping from his drink. Although his body

seemed to be around 17 years old, Josh refused to pay, since alcohols are

for adults. He is just a minor, who is pulled here by a bunch of majors

who should take responsibility for spoiling a child.

'I miss my days in law school.' Josh thought as he lifted his head, relaxing

a bit. As it seems, he wanted to sue someone for putting him in this

place.

He looked around. The agents with whom he had a cooperation mission

were here, wearing their casual clothes.

He got to learn their names.

Mr 3's name was Galdino. His partner, a short girl, who appeared to be

16 years old and 145 cm tall, was Marianne.

On the other hand, Mr 1 was Daze Bonez. It was a wonder that he spells

his name. All he had been doing was crossing his arms and acting cool

until Zala pushed him to say it.

Oh, Zala was Doublefinger.

she changed her clothes and wore a bandanna around her hair, her curly

hair got timid and fell down, with a strand in front of her face.

Josh didn't want to ask her why her hair changes like that, in order not to

trigger something out, since women can be too sensitive about their

looks.

"So, good job keeping alive," Galdino said, sipping some alcohol.

"Was there any danger in the first place?" Zala crossed her arms around

her chest and chuckled.

"My point." Daze Bonez said, his facial expression not changing all the

time.

Josh was looking at that.

He wondered if pranking Daze Bonez could change anything. However,

he didn't think it's a good time to do it now since it has a real risk of

being sliced.

"So, about the money, how should we split it," Mikita asked.

The money they got from the task was already delivered to them. The

gold had been taken to the headquarter, while they can split the reward

of the pirates.

"We take out numbers into count," Goldenweek said.

"How about we divide the money on your number." Mr 3 said.

This simply would mean, if Josh was number seven, he and his partner

would get 1/7 of the money.

"How about we take it equally," Mikita said.

All of the sudden, everyone, except Josh and Bonez, chuckled and started

laughing.

"Ara Ara. Although your chest is smaller a bit, you have a bigger sense of

humour."

Zala, who was pale as her, said to Mikita as she put her hands on her

chest.

"You said what!" Mikita stood up and was about to attack the spike

woman.

"Easy darling. Your boobs are big enough for me. They don't have to get

too big."

Josh said, holding Mikita from the waist and pushing her back to him.

Come on, since when double D cup was small. Just because Zala's were

quite bigger.

Mikita calmed down and let josh take her while exchanging glares with

Zala.

Meanwhile, if one looked carefully around, Marianne, after the fight

between the two girls, took a full bottle of alcohol and started drinking,

trying to forget about her flat chest.

Josh sat back, Mikita on his lap.

"Whoever takes more shall pay the bill," Josh said.

Everyone looked at him. Josh, remembering how his mentor used to act,

lifted his hand.

"Everyone gets about what they contributed. Any case, I prefer to go and

hunt pirates with my partner here rather than wasting time to get some

berries."

Josh said, wrapping his hands around Mikita. Everyone seemed to agree

with his proposal. It wasn't greedy, but more logical. Everyone would get

as much as they contributed.

"Hey, I only froze them, and Goldenweek made them weak." Galdino

objected.

"We will split it, happy." Josh shrugged his shoulder.

There was another option, which is calling the boss of Baroque Works

and let him settle things. But no one would like to call him.

Galdino pointed to Zala and Daze Bonez.

"But this means, they take more since they took the ones with most

killings."

Josh leaned back. "Mountains don't give back what they take."

"When this is over. And someone tells me why is she drunk." Daze

pointed to Marianne, who was sleeping, after drinking one bottle.

Zala just chuckled. "Someone is smarter than you, Mr3." She then winked

at Josh.

Mikita stared at her. There was a small pause, where Mikita and Zala

looked at each other. Mikita half closed her eyes, bit her bottom lip,

while Zala leaned back with her hand on her chin.

Mikita moved her hips against Josh's lap, making him feel quite aroused.

Mikita had a blush while looking at Zala, which, somehow, surprised the

latter. "Stop looking at him."

"Seems you are happy with your boyfriend," Zala asked.

"So happy," Mikita said.

"Are you bi, girls?" Josh could notice the glances and decided to tease

them. "You turned friendly all of the sudden."

"I'm dating you!" Mikita turned to Josh and raised her voice.

Josh gave a loving smirk, a teasing one.

"Teasing me, Kyahaha."

Mikita didn't like how he was teasing her, and all of the sudden, her

weight increased, making the chair under him crush, and he fell.

"You're crazy," Josh had a smirk on his face.

She was still sitting on his crotch. Making herself sixty kilos again, Mikita

turned and smiled at Josh. "Who knows?"

She then leaned forward, and bit his bottom lip, taking it back as they

started more kisses.

"Oh come on, find some other place and do that!" Galdino, aka Mr 3,

said, annoyed.

"Boo!!!" Marianne booed at them.

"Bero… Bero…"

All of the sudden, a communication snail ringing voice filled the bar.

Everyone stopped what they are doing, even Mikita, and stared at Josh.

"It's mine," Josh said as picked the snail from his pocket.

"Hello, Mr 7 is with you," Josh said, his girlfriend looking at him

curiously.

Josh picked up the call.

"Mr 7. Are you open for a chat now?"

Upon hearing this voice, everyone else in this room held their breath,

except Mikita, who had yet to learn about him.

Zala put her hand in front of her mouth. Galdino started sweating, while

Daze Bonez kept his cool manner.

"Yes. Who is with me?"

"Mr 0."

Upon hearing the code name, even Josh had goosebumps on his skin.

Shit, Crocodile is calling him.

He looked around him and could understand why everyone had wariness

drawn on their face, except for Marianne, who was drunk.

As it seems, they know Crocodile, who is a cruel man that may punish

them for slacking and drinking if he ever knew.

"Hi sir, how may I serve you," Josh said, Mikita still sitting on his crotch.

"Are you alone?" Crocodile asked from the other side.

Josh looked up.

When his eyes met with Zala's green eyes, she waved her finger, as if

telling him to rat them up, her eyes opening widely while she was bitting

on her lips.

"I'm only with my partner, naturally, relaxing after the last mission," Josh

replied.

"I see." Crocodile said with a deep voice.

There was a moment of pause.

Josh's heart started beating faster, thinking what would happen.

"I have noticed your abilities. And I'm thinking, are you ready to prove

that you worth joining our intern operations?"

"Intern operations?"

"Yes. You will be a high ranked agent. You would participate in the secret

mission, you and your partner, of course, the payment would be

generous."

"Sure," Josh nodded after thinking for a moment. "What do I have to do?"

"I need you to do one simple mission, to prove your worth."

"Ah. Yes. And after?"

"You will join. Is there something you want to ask about?"

"Yes, it's about the payment." Josh looked up to the roof, before looking

at everyone around who was looking curiously at him.

Mikita, seeing Josh in such a serious situation, started moving her hips

on his crotch. His little brother became bigger. And it was trying its best

not to throb with the sexy woman above him.

"I tell you, it's enough for you." Crocodile said. "You will be satisfied."

"No, it's not that, boss." Josh rubbed his chin.

"What is it then?"

"Can I get paid in advance? Not until the end of the month?" Josh said

that. He would need the money to get stronger. He figured it's better to

get money from Crocodile in advance, before trying to take the rest of his

money.

"…"

Zala, all of the sudden, put her hand in front of her mouth and held her

laugh. Tears started streaming out of green eyes.

Galdino almost fell to the ground, cold sweat covering him. He was

afraid, unlike the others.

Daze Bonez suppressed an urge to sigh.

"Anyway, I'll send you the mission's details. Take rest tonight. Tomorrow,

you would be moving."

"Yes, sir." Josh made a military salute in front of everyone while talking

to Crocodile.

Zala fell down, her hand on her mouth.

Crocodile cut the call suddenly.

"Hahaha… you're cute, you know that," Zala said, her green eyes getting

cloudy.

"Of course, he is." Mikita agreed.

Galdino was almost out of breath. He inhaled heavily and then yelled at

Josh. "To talk with the boss like that. You have balls of steel."

"I do." Daze Bonez pointed to himself.

There was a little chuckle from everyone before they departed.

"But they are as thin as a sword blade." Josh stood up, his arm around his

girlfriend, and shrugged. Everyone thought that he is under alcohol's

effects.

Daze Bonez opened his eyes widely. Zala started laughing loudly.

"Fuck! This is the best night!" Zala swept a tear from her eye. "I like him."

Daze Bonez had a deep frown as he stood up, his leg turning into a silver

blade. His eyes were flinching about hearing Josh's remark.

"Relax joking, man." Josh stopped laughing and wrapped his arm around

Mikita.

Everyone looked at the intense atmosphere. Josh continued, looking at

Mr One who lost his temper for the first time.

"Good night."

<<Shave>>

Vanishing in thin air with his partner, who made herself one kilo, Josh

was on his way to his ship. Running, he found himself being chased by an

air blade. Luckily, he was very swift.

In little time, he reached his ship next to the seaport with Mikita.

He was laughing, while Mikita laughed and held her heart. Both fear and

excitement took over her.

"His expression. Priceless. Kyahahaha."

"It's right."

Josh started laughing again. "Quickly, sail, he will chase after us."

"Kyahaha, do you think he will forget."

"Do you think he will see us again soon?" Josh laughed a bit. It was a bit

of fun to troll Mr 1, who maybe trying to catch up to him, but no use

against a Shave user.

"One day, he will forget." Mikita shook her head.

And so, Josh sailed, waiting for Crocodile to give him a new task.

Chapter 18: Chapter 18

The promotion has been quick. It was needless to say that everyone

would notice Josh's fast growth. Some already had, like Galdino, Aka Mr

3, who had been there a month ago when Josh had joined the

organisation.

"So, this how things are going, next week," Josh said calmly, however, he

felt something heating up within him.

As an intern who has yet to become are real lawyer, he has still to lose

his conscience.

"What is annoying you?" Mikita asked, looking at Josh.

"Next week," Josh looked at the paper in his hand.

That paper represents an order. Josh, who was sitting on the deck of his

ship, depending on the candle's light to see, let the paper close to the fire.

It was a tradition for agents to burn their orders, so it remains a secret.

"Yes, I read it, what wrong with it to annoy you?" Mikita whispered. "We

still have a week before moving to Alabasta."

"Just… whatever." Josh sighed, lifting his head.

The mission had a clear order. Josh has to secure a weapon transfer to

Alabasta, where the weapons would be handed to the rebels.

Two innocent sides are going to fight to the death because someone is

manipulating them.

Now, Josh, since he had seen the Anime, knows the plot. The rebels in

Alabasta are blindly guided by Crocodile, who is trying to take down

Alabasta.

Josh had assumed that this is before the canon by, at least, a year.

However, he still felt sore in his heart, knowing that he has to do such a

mission.

'These people are real people. Breath like me, eat like me.'

Josh turned and looked at the blonde, who was still stunning in his eyes.

Mikita had a slight red line appear on her cheek upon seeing his gaze. It

was like showing how he was passionate about her.

"Let's take a nap, we're drunk." She said.

"Right."

They had just left a meeting with the other agents. Now, they are on their

boat. After drinking some alcohol, the two of them were sleepy.

Mikita and Josh started hugging each other, sleeping on blankets that

were placed on the deck.

Josh, hugging her from behind, was thinking. As it seems, more than

twenty days passed since he had accepted the crazy mission, and there

was almost a month. Mikita had already shown signs that she doesn't

care about Baroque Works.

'I want her to be on my side.' Josh thought. As it seems, all the cards are

for him.

He just needs more time to grow stronger. And he needs to loan money,

somehow, from someone.

Could Vivi has enough for him to help him in his quest…

Josh lowered his he. He was having conflicts inside of him, between his

conscience and his instinct of survival and making his mission succeed.

-x-X-x-

Mikita, aka Ms Valentine, was sitting on the deck of the ship.

She was looking at the Eternal Pose in her hand, which guided to their

distance, Alabasta.

As it had appeared, she would have a mission from the boss himself, Mr

0.

She already expected that it would happen ever since she joined the

Baroque Works.

After all, she was one of the small percentages that have Devil Fruit.

It was needless to say that she can promote quickly.

On the other hand, someone else didn't seem to depend on a Devil fruit.

She turned and looked over Josh, who was doing a little warm-up.

'Something is wrong with him.'

Although Josh was the type of guy who only flirts and doesn't share their

burden, she could tell something was wrong with him. After all, he was

unlike his usual self, even though he was hiding it.

'Did he cheat on me?' Mikita half-closed her eye on him. Although it

seemed unlikely, given his young appearance, it still possible.

She turned her head to the sea. If he is not telling her, then it's his choice.

'Now, I'm boiling to know what it is up.' She crossed her arms and put a

leg above another as she on the edge of the ship.

After a couple of seconds, Josh stood up and came, behind her, and put

his hands on her shoulders.

"You are silent, unlike yourself," Josh said.

Mikita turned, looked at him, and filled her cheeks with air before

frowning.

Josh just chuckled and pocked her cheek.

"What are you really thinking of." She asked.

Josh's smile started slowly fading, which made her heart beat faster. He is

going to tell her something bad. Mikita herself didn't know what she

would do if it were bad for her.

"I have to tell you something."

"Which is." She waited for him to say confession.

"A proposal," Josh said. If he was aware of her ideas, he would say that

she is too paranoid, but it's understandable.

Mikita raised her eyebrows, confusion appearing on her face. Wait. She

thought he would confess he did something bad, but not, a proposal.

'Don't tell me that he is going to offer marriage.' Mikita suddenly blushed

and waved her hand in front of her face.

She even forgot that Josh said that he doesn't believe in marriage.

"Have you ever thought that Baroque Works is offering us little compared

to what we do?" Josh came and sat next to her.

A confusion was drawn upon her face. She looked at Josh, and then, she

remembered. She had once told him about taking money from missions.

Could it be that, when they had split the money with higher agents

yesterday, he changed his mind?

"What are you suggesting."

"I'm suggesting, carving our path."

Josh held her hand and started rubbing it gently as he looked at it. He

then looked at her eyes.

"Our path, by that, you mean."

"Boss, Mr. 0, is so rich, you know." Josh smiled.

Mikita opened her eyes widely. "You're saying."

"How about, you know, we partner up, take his money. I heard that he

has even a casino. Not to mention, his organisation has been hunting

pirates for too long. There is no one richer here in the first part, except

him."

'And here I thought I am the crazy one.' Mikita didn't say her opinion out

loud.

But what Josh has said was the truth.

A lot of money!

It means having no worries about the future.

She started closing her eyes slowly. It still means, however, worrying

about the present. Although her heart is okay with the idea, there is one

problem.

Crocodile isn't one of the Warlords for no reason.

"You have a plan, don't you?" Mikita said.

"Glad you asked." Josh stood up, opened his arms, like a dreamer… no,

more like a mad man who is gambling with his own head on the line.

Josh continued. "I'm growing so fast. When the right moment comes to

strike, we would be living a good life."

"I see." Mikita stood up.

Josh looked quite cute from her angle. Still, his dangerous ambitions

don't match with his cute face at all.

But he is saying the truth. Josh was growing so fast. In the beginning, she

knows she could defeat him easily. Now, Josh is good at martial arts, and

he can move at high speed.

She had been there when he developed his technique. She would be

stupid to say if she knows the limit of his future.

"What do you say?" Josh said, looking at her with his big blue eyes.

'Who can say no to those eyes,' she thought.

She put a hand on his cheek, pinched it, and said. "You know. I'll join

you, only on one condition."

"What is it?"

"You will have to wait, keep this a secret until things are clear to strike."

Josh smiled and held her hand. "You are so smart! I don't know what to

do if not for you."

Although she knew he was just mocking, she just smirked and nodded.

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Now, let's move to Alabasta." Josh stood up, looking in a better mood.

"Wait, wait," Mikita said, lifting her hand to stop him. "We have to stop

on Whisky Peak first. We need some supplies on our way to Alabasta."

"Whiskey Peak?" Josh rubbed his chin. "I heard that the trainees from the

previous base, which we were at, are transferred there."

"Now I remember. Weren't you checking out some blue-haired girl there?"

She put her hands on her hips, pretending to be angry. "Do you like her?"

What are you saying? I was checking the sea behind her." Josh teased.

"Come here." Mikita opened her arms and jumped on him, intending to

pin him on the ground.

"Catch me if you can." But Josh flashed and appeared three meters back.

"Hmm… don't regret then when I go extreme." Josh still has that smile as

she started to run to catch him on the boat.

"Yeah, in your dreams." Josh chuckled as he started playing with her.

He is only playing to ease up the tension in his heart.

More dangerous times are coming.

"Say it, I won't do it again."

"What if I don't."

"Then you will have to know what turtle life is."

Josh had a small frown and a drop of sweat on his face. Currently, he was

walking on their stop island, Mikita on his back, and her weight is

slightly more than a thousand kilos.

That what he got from teasing her too much earlier.

"Just a few days, and I'll handle you." Josh continued walking while

looking around.

"What. Excuse me, I didn't hear you well." Mikita started increasing her

weight, making Josh barely able to move.

Josh paused, took a deep breath, and said. "The part responsible for

ejaculating exists in the spinal cord. Break that, and your boyfriend

would be impotent."

"Wait!" Mikita suddenly became one kilo. She looked at Josh, "how do

you know that."

"I read articles about health," Josh said. It's something he had come

across in med magazines in his previous life.

"I'm sorry." Mikita quickly apologised.

"Don't take it for real." Josh just smiled. She teased him. However, when

she knew she is playing with his babies, she stopped.

Anyway, the two of them moved within the Whiskey Peak. They met a

lot of people. There was a huge woman, really that huge, with muscles as

big as Mr. 1, dressing as a Priestess. However, it was all fake, since this

island belongs to Baroque Works as well. Next to that woman was a man,

with long blond hair, curly and making circles as it went down. Josh

somehow recognised them from the Anime. But he barely remembered

their name.

Well. One Piece is too long that you would forget some arcs. Mikita

walked around, saying that she would get the supplies. Meanwhile, Josh

noticed that the others on this island showed respect since he is agent Mr

7.

'Though, I prefer if it were 007.'

Josh thought childishly but looked around with a dead serious face that

made people not wanting to mess with him.

While sitting alone, waiting, Josh noticed someone approaching him.

Turning, he saw a girl with average height, 170 cm, light blue hair that

was tied in a long ponytail, looking at him with her big brown eyes.

'Vivi… what is she doing here.'

-

Vivi.

She looked at Mr Seven, who was sitting down, not showing any hostility

on his face. In fact, he seemed to be waiting for her to say anything and

looked deeply at her with his blue eyes.

'Does he knows me?' she thought.

Josh had been the person who looked at her for too long at the camp. As

the princess of Alabasta, some people may recognise her and blow her

cover. Even though she is 15 now and did some changes to her look, she

needed to make sure that Mr 7 now doesn't know about her.

"Are you going to stare at me all day?" Mr. 7 said.

"Excuse me… If I may ask…"

"Yes."

"Do I know you from somewhere?" Vivi asked quietly.

Josh looked around, to the people, or rather, the Baroque Works

followers, before looking at one of the people she knows.

He put his hands next to his hips and raised his head.

Vivi had been familiar with body language. She could tell easily that

Josh, for sure, knew her. He was aware that showing her identity is

dangerous, so he looked around to anyone who would hear.

"I have no idea," Josh said, before looking at her.

"May I sit?" she asked.

Josh raised his hands. "My partner may not like that."

'I will make my distance,' Vivi looked around. She grabbed a near box

and sat on it, opposing Mr. 7, who was as mysterious as one may think.

"Do I look familiar to you?" Josh asked.

"No. I was about to ask you the same question." Vivi shook her head. She

then asked. "Where are you originally from."

Grand Line is big. People around Alabasta may recognise her, or from

surrounding countries, since she had been travelling with her father to

neighbour countries when she was young.

If Josh knows anything, then it may end her career.

"You really want to ask such a question here?"

Josh stared forward.

Vivi swallowed her words. 'He knows me!' she was certain now.

But, still, why didn't he blow her cover. After all, she is a spy on the

Baroque Works. Or could it be that Josh thinks that she betrayed her

home and she is loyal to Alabasta?

No. She has to stay here, become an agent, and then see what Baroque

Works are doing in her country.

Vivi took a deep breath. She has to flirt, just to make sure he wouldn't

move, and then draw information from him.

After all, she had learnt a dancing technique, a seductive one, which

would make men frozen. It was her guarantee to climb the rank. That's

why she thought that she can draw information out of him, only by

acting seductively.

"Come on. No need to act tough. You need to relax." Vivi drew a

seductive half-smile, her hand slowly approaching him. "I can teach you

how. Just let the tense feeling go away." She whispered.

Josh, all of the sudden, slapped her hand away.

"Ouch." Vivi held her hand and put it next to her mouth. "Why did you do

that!"

"I just saved your life, no need to thank me."

Josh turned his head and looked at Mikita, who got out of the door, some

guys holding big boxes with them and heading to their boat.

Vivi looked around, seeing Ms Valentine walking and having a smirk on

her face.

Vivi was about to roar how can this be considered saving her life.

However, she understood the moment Ms Valentine put her hands on

Josh's chest and kissed him, saying, "I'll make it up for you, later."

"Mm… fine." Josh replied to Mikita, before turning to Vivi.

"Well, talk to me later. I need to lift few things."

"Who is she?" Ms Valentine turned to Vivi and half-closed her eyes.

Vivi started sweating. High agents are known for their strength. It was

her luck Josh slapped her hand. One must know that some women can

kill if you mess with their guy.

"Just a girl, she thinks knows me from somewhere." Josh turned and

grabbed Mikita's shoulder with one hand, and lifted one big box above

his head.

"Fine," Mikita said. "But how. You yourself said you don't know where

you are from."

"I can't remember, you know." Josh shrugged his shoulder.

Vivi blinked twice upon hearing that last sentence from the far. Mr. 7

don't know where he is from. Did he lose memory?

"All I need is to who I am with," Josh said as he smiled at Mikita.

Valentine just turned her head and smiled, blushing slightly.

-x-X-x-

It was night, Josh was resting on the deck of his ship, ready to move.

Currently, he had some supplies for them to move. Weapons, sleeping

potions, poison, and of course, a lot of whiskeys.

Meanwhile, Mikita noticed a certain blue-haired girl approaching their

ship.

She turned to Josh. "That girl is approaching."

"I know. Let me see."

Josh jumped off the boat.

"What are you doing here?" He asked Vivi.

"I think by this point, you know me."

"Do you think so?"

"I'm a princess," Vivi said looking at his face.

Josh didn't flinch or show surprise.

It was a sign he knew.

"Good for you." He turned and was about to leave.

"I need your help, do you know anything about Alabasta… or anything

related to the boss of Baroque Works."

Vivi was risking her life here. However, since Josh didn't expose her, she

gave him the benefit of doubt.

Josh, turning, looked at her, and thought for a brief. He adjusted his

collar and said.

"I may have information or two." Josh thought about the most thing that

can benefit his mission, the real one. "But, what can you do to get it."

-x-X-x-

Chapter 20: Chapter 20

Vivi, shaking, was looking at Josh like he is crazy.

He had just asked what she can do for the information she needs.

Clearly, Josh is expecting something in return.

What can someone expect from an agent in Baroque Works?

What would a man want from a woman or a pretty little princess like

her? Princesses like Vivi hadn't been taught that every guy offering help

is a white knight, instead, he can be a mercenary who wants money and

her body.

She looked at Josh. His face looked more like a harsh financial minister.

"I can give you depending on what you are asking for."

She put her hands inside of her white shorts pockets, indexes interring a

circle of strings, which were linked to sharp blade disks.

Although she knew he was strong, if he ever blackmailed her to give him

her body, she would rather fight.

She can't give money, since her country is falling into economical

disaster. Although she was conflicting if she should pay in another way…

but after a thought, he is not bad looking.

It all depends on what kind of person he is.

Josh.

Depending on his previous life's experience, he could tell that on her face.

'I bet she is thinking that I'm sexist.'

She looks like she wants to sue him.

With sarcasm, he said. "Well, if you don't want to save your country, pray

for the heavens to send you a 5.7-foot tall pirate to save you while

screaming about meat. I have no time to waste with a paranoid girl when

I can do business."

Josh turned and was about to leave.

"You're like five-eleven. But, I will hear you."

"See, isn't this better than acting tough and enter a dilemma," Josh said.

Vivi nodded and lowered her head. She then noticed that Josh was still

giving her his back.

"Why are you still giving me your back?" Vivi exclaimed and looked at

Josh like he is a weird person.

"I am too lazy to turn to you many times," Josh said. In the end, he would

have to face the ship. And it's Vivi's fault that he had to turn in the first

place.

Vivi nodded. The princess quickly walked forward, stood up in front of

him, and then faced him.

"Do your people treat their royalty like this in their country." She was

curious.

"We are only business people. And how I treat royalty, ask my girlfriend

there. I treat her like a princess."

Although a part of Josh's dreams include having women around him

while he is on his throne, it still too early. Even if Vivi was stunning

beauty now, Josh didn't feel bad for not treating her in a better way.

'I have a mission and time limit. I can't scramble in front of someone

because she is pretty and a princess.' Josh looked at her long smooth

snow-white legs. 'Maybe later.'

"God help her, I think." Vivi looked over his shoulder, to Ms Valentine,

who was sitting on the edge of the ship and observing them.

It's needless to say that the two are dating.

"Who knows." Josh smiled. 'She is a bit crazy and I neefd help, but I like

her.' But he didn't want to say that now.

"Anyway, what do you want, and what you have to offer."

"I offer you two things. First, something is going to happen in your

country. Second, the identity of the two guys. The guy who is leading the

rebels. And the real one who is ruining the repetition of your dad."

Josh then lowered his voice and said. "Of course, that's why joined this

organisation in the first place, isn't that right, Princess Vivi."

Josh, for the first time, called her with her name.

Vivi, although she felt quite stunned, only lowered her head.

"And the price?"

"Money. From the king. At least 60 million." Josh said.

60 million was a huge amount of money. However, wealthy countries

collect taxes from the people. And they had existed for 800 years.

"Hey, isn't that quite…"Vivi was at first afraid that he would order a

hundred million or more. But such an amount can change the life of some

villages and a town.

Not to mention, Alabasta is a desert country. Even the people need to buy

food from external resources, sometimes even water.

"Low. I know. If you can pay more, it would be helping your people more

than you realise." Josh said, crossing his arms, half of his eyes are closed.

"I don't have such an amount of money," Vivi said.

"It's okay, you can wait until your father pays me personally. I can wait."

Josh said, offering his goodwill.

Vivi had been taught as a princess. She knows about politics.

She said. "I don't know. I'm just a princess of a poor country. What

matters are my people. Besides, why would my country pay you, while it

barely provides for itself? I'm sorry, but thanks for your good intentions."

"Because you are betting, not paying," Josh answered honestly. "I will

give you this information out of goodwill," Josh said. "A huge amount of

weapons would be delivered for rebels, with a very cheap price. The

mysterious guy is behind it. Soon, who knows what the rebels would do

with the cheap high-quality weapons."

Vivi opened her eyes widely.

Josh gave her the delivery location, making her eyes open widely.

Josh then jumped and landed on his ship, leaving Vivi's jaw dropped.

"I advise you not to scream. Ears are everywhere." Josh said, before

looking at Mikita. "Did I take a long time?"

"I thought that I would become a widow while waiting for you." Mikita

rolled her eyes and joked.

"Mmm…" Josh only smiled at her.

Vivi, on the other hand, clenched her fist.

She lifted her head and said loudly. "I will buy it, but only after arriving

in my country. You have my word as a princess. "

Josh said. "You're betting on my life. I may die as well." Josh said it, and

surprisingly, he felt some relief.

"Mmm… let's die together then, kyahahah." Mikita thought that he was

joking and laughed along with him.

"Pay attention." Josh nodded. Looking at Vivi, he started moving his lips,

telling her more information, about the time.

Vivi read his lips and opened her eyes widely, before bowing down.

Josh then set the sails to Alabasta.

He is still Mr. 7 and still has to do his job. Josh needed to get his

payment, first.

Vivi already was stealthily moving to Alabasta after getting information

from Josh about what is going to happen in her country.

Josh had already promised her a valuable information

Some of them were given in advance, such as the information that there

would be a huge weapon deal with the rebels.

And that the rebels are being played like a toy, as someone is responsible.

For Vivi, who is 15 years old young princess, this information was

shocking.

It would mean that her country is in real danger.

However, Josh facial expression had said it would at least take a year

before that happens.

"Mr.7, who is he, for real?'

She wondered.

He looked to be more mysterious than anyone else in the organisation.

Hell. He even knew her real identity, her purpose from joining, and he

didn't even tell about her.

He could be a person who is greedy for money. Yet, he only said that she

can gamble on him. Those words seemed to be very honest.

Trusting a stranger, with an unknown power level is never guarantying.

That's why Josh said she has to bet on him.

'At least, he is honest, it seems.' Patting the bird, which was as big as a

horse and was next to her, Vivi thought as she looked at the blue sea in

front of her.

Currently, she was on her way back to Alabasta, using the Eternal Pose

that points to her home kingdom.

-x-X-x-

Yawning and stretching his arms up to the sky, Josh looked in front of

him. The yellow desert extended as far as the eye can see.

It was really hot around that his skin started getting dry.

"I need water," Josh said.

"Try lemon water."

Mikita, who was wearing lemon earrings, and a yellow dress with

patterns of lemon, threw a bottle to Josh.

Josh drank it and flinched. It was sour. But still, it watered him up.

"Let's hope I don't get my skin cracked," Mikita said.

Josh nodded as their ship sailed.

"Remember the mission's details."

Mikita nodded at him.

The mission was to let the weapon delivery pass.

The rebels army in Alabasta is going to buy weapons for the minimum

price with dealers from the underworld.

These dealers, of course, are sent by Crocodile, also known as Mr. 0.

Mikita and Josh's job is to let that happen and protect the delivery.

Josh started rubbing his ears. "The sand, it's annoying."

"Not as much as the heat," Mikita said, almost frowning from the heat of

the desert.

"I hate deserts." Josh raised his eyebrows before he sighs and walked

forward.

Mikita opened her umbrella, stood up next to him, and let both of them

under the shadow.

"Thanks," he thanked her. "But I should hold it."

"The taller one holds it, right."

"Just because you are wearing heels."

"Whatever, stay close if you don't want to be affected by the heat."

"Weird. Things are hotter next to you."

After a giggle from Mikita, the two of them moved, until they reached a

near city in Alabasta.

Alabasta was a country. There is the capital, cities, towns and all.

Although One Piece is a world of Islands, there are a lot of islands that

can be considered countries.

-x-X-x-

"How do I look," Josh asked Mikita, who was wearing different clothes,

just like him.

Since they are parts of Baroque Works agents, they had to disguise

themselves.

Mikita was wearing a long dress, a white one with a veil on her head.

Josh was wearing fewer clothes. An opened shirt, lousy white pants, and

shoes. However, he put a small black mask on the lower half of his face

and some sunglasses.

"Who are you again?" Mikita asked, mockingly.

"Someone." Josh shrugged his shoulder. "You?"

"Someone else," Mikita said.

That was their job. They shouldn't reveal their identity.

"Let's move."

Rey, a short man with a scar across his face was sitting on the near side,

next to a building in this desert city.

Next to the building, there were many camels with boxes above them.

Each one of these boxes held rifles.

The rifles and guns in One Piece world weren't as modern or as strong as

the ones from Earth.

They were very old-styled, like the ones you see in pirate movies.

On each camel, one can see normal-looking merchants.

But still. All of them were criminals.

"Right." Josh shook his head and started moving along with his group.

Soon, they reached a near village.

The sun was slowly setting, looking red, and big in this desert.

Josh looked at the sun, and he started thanking God that it was setting.

It was known that cold weather would come soon, and Josh appreciates

that.

A cold night was always appreciated.

He thought about that as he held Mikita's hand and they entered the

village.

In front of them, there was a group of 50 men, all covering their faces

with a white piece of cloth.

Rey, the leader of weapon dealers, stood up forward and asked for the

captain to appear and pay for them.

They seemed to talk about something, as the other merchants placed the

boxes and opened them, revealing in each box weapons covered in straw.

"The price seems to be too high." The leader of the rebels here said.

"I think you don't know how things go. In the underworld, you don't

change the price, you just buy."

"But… we barely have enough to feed ourselves."

"Your problem, not mine," Rey said.

Josh, who was on the side, slammed his face with his hand.

What's wrong with the rebels.

Crocodile is already doing them a favour with this cheap price. Yet, the

rebels are shameless enough not to buy it and negotiate.

Whatever.

It's not Josh's problem at all.

In any case, the rebels seemed not to accept what Rey said.

"Let's go back. We'll tell the boss about what happens, and you will learn

what it means to waste good intent."

Rey only sighed, waved his hand, and the other merchants started closing

the boxes, ready to go back.

"Wait!"

The leader of this division of the rebels said, understanding that he isn't

in the position of power, he decided to accept the deal.

Meanwhile, the bodyguards were sitting down near a rock under the

shadow.

"Are you entertained?" Mikita looked at Josh, who was sitting and

extending his legs.

"Yes, you."

"It's funny," Mikita said. She then turned her head and flinched. "Josh…"

"I know," Josh said.

In front of them, many shadows of men sitting on horses that were

running appeared.

Everyone turned their heads.

"Hold on! In the name of the king!"

Leading almost forty men, armed, and sitting on horses, with swords and

gun, said.

Anyone, by looking at their armours and way of clothing, can tell that

they are royal guards.

"Any idea why are they here," Mikita said lowly.

Mikita, who was Josh's partner, had heard about what Josh told Vivi, and

who Vivi is.

Since she had agreed on his crazy plan of stealing Crocodile, she thought

he has plans.

"I don't know. Do you know?" Josh pretended ignorance with a bland

expression.

"Nope. what do we do?" Mikita asked him.

-x-X-x-

Chapter 22: Chapter 22

A/N:

--------------

The sun has set, and the weather in the desert turned from extreme hot to

extreme cold.

Josh stood up, cracked his bones, and looked in front of him.

There was a small peak, in front of it, was what seemed the leader of the

royal guards. They were glaring at the rebels and the weapon dealers as

if they knew about what is going on.

Josh nodded his head to Mikita.

Mikita, from her robes, grabbed a little snail.

"Call the boss. Ask him what should we do?" Josh looked at the royal

guard.

He would be lying to say he can take all of them head-on. Although he is

faster and knows one of the six power, any hit can be critical to his body,

and he never believed in plot armour. He can maybe defeat them. But

still, he is afraid of getting hurt a bit.

Meanwhile, the rebels, the dealers, and the royal guards were looking at

each other.

"You are arrested for rebelling against your kingdom, violating the

weapon commercial code—"

"Bla Bla Bla…" One of the rebels interrupted. "The only guilty ones are

you, who are hungering your people, abandoning the villages…"

"That's not true." Replied the captain of the guards as he took his sword,

pointing to the dealers. "You are using violence, using weapons against

your king, and for that, you shall be arrested."

Back to Josh, who was covering his face.

He looked at Mikita. "What did Boss say."

"We have strict orders not to let the kingdom's reputation get better,

meaning the guards can't be called heroes."

"So, who should we attack."

"Depending on the situation. It would be better if the name of the rebels

not get dirty."

"I get it."

Josh got it.

Crocodile wants the king of Alabasta to fall. So, since the rebellion is in

its beginning, the warlord doesn't want to ruin its reputation.

As it seems, without the good reputation for the rebels, and the bad one

for the king, Crocodile's plans can't succeed.

"So, we should let them go."

"As it seems. It would be better if the guards go unharmed, yet, it would

be bad if the rebels die." Josh said. He knew exactly what Crocodile

wants, but it is impossible to get the two things.

Josh, since he needs to stay a little longer in the organisation, did this.

He flashed in front of the rebels and the weapon dealers.

The rebels were going to take the weapons and start exchanging fire, but

Josh stopped them.

"Deal is off. No weapons for you." Josh stopped one of the rebels from

taking a riffle.

"Hey, what are you—"

"No Money, no deal."

Josh kicked him, sending him flying back several meters.

He then looked at the others, "anyone wants to fight."

"We will clash with them and then pay you."

"I don't care. We don't trust you." Josh said.

The merchants' leader was sweating.

The leader of the rebels here looked at the merchants, before Josh, and

then the army. He said. "Retreat. Let these guys deal with them." He

made the right decision. Nothing is more stupid than entering a losing

fight.

It would be better to avoid and let Josh and his group deal with the army

of the kingdom.

Quickly, the rebels rode their camels and horses and turned to escape.

"Arrest everyone!"

The leader of the royal guards shouted and the rest of them dashed,

wanting to arrest everyone. Josh knew that the merchants should escape

as well.

So, he needed to fight on his own, and that's why Mikita opened her

umbrella and was floating above them, before increasing her weight and

dropping, taking down a bunch of soldiers and their horses with them,

raising the sands to cover the soldier's eyes.

Taking advantage of their blindness, Josh, who was wearing sunglasses,

vanished and started kicking and punching. Sometimes, he would see

their pockets and take some berries if there were any. Because of the

movement technique he developed, he ended with half of them in short

while without them realising.

Soon, Josh appeared next to Mikita, who was patting her hat from the

dust. Mikita turned and noticed a wound on Josh's arm, it had a dagger

wound.

"You! You will pay for this." Angrily, she shouted and was about to throw

herself to the soldiers.

Josh held her arm and shook his head, stopping her from throwing

herself at the swords.

"Well, the mission is complete. We still have the weapons, and we can

leave." Josh said, looking at the remaining half.

The merchants had taken advantage of this and vanished.

The royal guards looked at the two, who took half of them. They had

wariness drawn on their face.

"What are you?" the leader asked.

"Some bodyguards," Josh replied. Mikita ripped off a piece of her rob,

showing her thigh, and wrapped it around the wound on his arm.

"What is your intention?"

"Doing our job and getting our payment," Josh said. "By the way, talking

about the payment, how Vivi is doing?"

"How…!" the guard said, exclaiming shock on his face.

Princess Vivi had just come back not so long ago, and she warned them

about this.

Yet, the person in front of them seemed to know about her.

"What's the relation between you and the princess."

"Friends of benefit." Calmly, Josh said.

Upon hearing Josh's reply, everyone turned their head and stared at Josh,

eyes widely opened. Mikita came from behind, wrapped her legs around

his waist and locked his neck with his arm.

"Friends of benefit!" Mikita shouted in jealousy. "Since when that

happened."

"I didn't mean it that way… cough," Josh said. "Calm down babe. Calm

down. Benefits mean benefits. Besides; we have been fu**** each night.

How am I supposed to do that."

"Hmm…" Mikita calmed down and landed on her feet. "Sorry." She said.

No way that would happen. They had been having sex each night. Josh

wouldn't even have time for a friend of benefit.

The guards were looking strangely at each other, before looking at Josh

and Mikita.

"And here I was wondering, how the royal guards came along." Came a

strange voice.

Everyone turned their head, to see a tall tanned woman, with blue eyes,

who had exceptionally big boobs, hourglass alluring shape, and a cowboy

white hat, standing on the top of one building.

"You…"

Before anyone could react, she crossed her arms. Hundreds of arms

appeared around the soldiers.

Like wires, the arms wrapped them, and cracked their bones, making

them fall. Anyone who sees that would wonder if they are still alive or

not.

"And for you, Mr. 7."

She smirked and scanned Josh with her eyes.

Josh seemed wary all of the sudden, as he scanned the new hot brunette.

"Yes?" Mikita replied in his stead.

Josh couched lowly, ready to use Shave at any moment.

In front of him, appeared one of his most dangerous, yet, favourite

characters.

The Demon Child, Robin, Aka Ms All Sunday, the female partner of

Crocodile.

Standing at the height of 188 cm, the tanned woman patted her long

straight hair and smirked while looking at Josh, scanning him with her

blue eyes.

"Well, we have a bad boy here. Mr 7," She said with a smirk.

Josh half-closed his eyes.

The woman in front of him was strong enough to take a squad of royal

soldiers on her own, which imply, if she tries, she can just crack his neck.

It was needless to say that she can crack the bones of Josh easily.

Although she was not loyal to Crocodile, her decisions now may not be

the same as they would in the canon.

"What are you talking about," Josh said with a shrug. "There is one man

and two women here. I see no boy."

"Fufufu…" Robin just jumped from the building and landed in front of

Josh, who didn't even flinch. Staring at him, she asked. "Do you know

who am I?"

"Someone strong enough." Josh raised his eyebrows. '

Now I wonder, why the heck they have to make them tall.' Josh thought

to himself as he lifted his head a bit.

'Alright, in the worst-case scenario, I can kick her on the pussy and run

away with Mikita. If I'm fast enough, she won't be able to activate her

Devil fruit in time.'

That was risky. In Anime, she could catch an eagle man in the air and

take him down. But Josh had to play his cards.

"Hmm… your eyes are showing wariness. How am I supposed to believe

you." Robin put her hand on his chin.

Mikita was about to say something, yet Josh extended his hand to her.

"How am I supposed to know. You just appeared. I can assume that you

are an ally to me since you know my code name." Josh took a step back,

scanned her from toe to head.

There was a small pause when looking at her curvy hips, or her chest,

before saying.

"I have never seen you before. Besides Double Finger, you don't look

weaker than anyone. Are you the partner of Boss, Mr.0?"

"Well, you are smart enough despite your young age." Robin put her hand

on her chest, on the slit on her short jacket. "I'm Miss All Sunday. What's

your name, and purpose."

"You're the boss's partner, you know my name." Josh didn't introduce

himself and sat down. "And my purpose is simple. I want to get my

payment."

"Weird enough. The fact that the princess had returned, and the fact that

you chatted casually about her to the guards, who, from nowhere, could

tell about this deal, is a little bit suspicious."

Josh wanted to bite his lips.

He had remembered her ability. She can just make a copy from any organ

she has and put it anyway, including her ears.

She probably had been spying on them with her ear on some wall.

However, his previous mentor taught him that their job requires having a

poker face.

One must bullshit his way out.

"I was just teasing them." Josh shrugged his shoulders. "Mr. 3 is someone

who uses strategies. I do that as well."

Robin smiled and half-closed her eyes. "I'm not excellent at mathematics,

but what are the chances for that to be real."

"You never played the lottery." Josh raised his eyebrow.

"I played."

"Won?"

"I'm not that lucky."

"Just try. Who knows, you may win one day."

Robin shook her head. "Enough jokes."

After she crossed her arms, a group of arms appeared around Mikita and

Josh, planted on their bodies.

Josh tried to use Shave, but he fell immediately on the ground and rolled

a bit. Looking in front of him, Josh frowned as some arms were tying his

legs...

"Come on! you surprised me." Robin made a small teasing laugh.

"What you have done to him, Sunday's bitch." Mikita just increased her

weight, however, Robin had enough arms to stop her from moving.

"That hurts my feelings," Robin said gently as she looked at them.

She then stared at Josh, who stood up, with his arms pointing up, hands

opened.

"Fine, fine, you won't believe whatever I say." Josh drew a confident

smile on his face. "Time for the truth."

When a lawyer knows he fucked up, he has to play poker.

"Now, I need to know your real purpose," Robin asked.

"My real purpose, I just wanted to draw you out. I heard you are too

pretty, and I was curious. I must say, I'm not disappointed." Josh said.

Mikita almost shot Josh a glare, if not knowing that he was bullshitting

his way out.

Robin chuckled. "Thanks. But I'm a proud single woman and prefer to

stay like that. Now, your last chance to say the truth."

"Fine, Robin," Josh said.

Robin, who didn't give her real name, flinched when Josh said it casually.

"I'm someone who is like you." Said Josh as he crossed his arms before

putting his hands on his hips.

"What do you mean? How do you know me?" Robin asked. There is a

chance that Josh had seen an old poster for her. But what made her

doubt that was that Josh took his time to conclude that she is a partner of

Crocodile.

Not to mention, when she had taken that picture in wanted posture, Josh

hasn't been born yet.

Josh continued. "Your purpose is to find the real chance to strike

Crocodile in the back. I'll tell you in advance, the next year, you will find

his weakness is water."

Josh said.

Robin opened her eyes widely.

Josh, not only could tell her name, but he could tell her purpose from

staying next to Crocodile.

"Who are you! Are you for my head!"

Josh put his hands on his pocket, ignoring the many arms that can twist

his neck, and walked around confidently.

He has the court in his hand.

Just when Robin had that flinch on her face, Josh knew he got this.

"My name is Josh. My girlfriend calls me Joshy, so you can't use that pet

name." Josh walked toward her slowly. "My background, don't ask me

about it. I know nothing as well, other than my name of course.

"On the other hand, you are called many names. Demon Child.

Archaeologist. Robin. But in the end, you are being used by Crocodile, in

order to help him find the legendary ancient weapons. Am I wrong,

Nico?"

Josh said with a very calm face.

Robin's breathes paused for a second. "How do you know that?"

"You are not the only one who is reading history, or linking strings that

surrounds you."

Josh didn't make eye contact and lifted his head, looking at one cloud

that passed, before staring at Robin, whose eyes didn't leave him.

"We may be started wrong. Nice to meet you, Nico Robin. I'm someone

who has the same purpose as you."

Josh smiled.

He held an arm that had appeared on his shoulder, took by the hand, and

put it next to his mouth, kissing it and making Robin take a step back in

surprise, that arm vanishing to thin air.

Josh went to the near weapon box and sat down while Robin was staring

at him from head to two.

Robin crossed her arms. A chair of hands appeared beneath her and she

sat down, facing Josh.

Leaning forward, she asked. "You got my attention, young man. What

motivate you?"

'The mission.'

Josh looked at the sky.

Robin could see that there is regret on his face.

Josh seemed like he didn't want to do this in the first place.

"My conscience." Josh didn't lie in this one. He did it because of the

mission where he had to deliver weapons, and he didn't want to imagine

that real breathing people are dying because of him.

Robin, who had lived her life in the underworld ever since she was a

little girl, could tell who lies and who tells the truth.

Josh, who was young, didn't seem to know how to lie.

Just by seeing the regret on his face, she felt some sympathy for him.

Maybe that's because her situation was no different in Baroque Works.

But that didn't show up on her face.

'Well, my internship didn't go waste. Welcome to the law school, where

even the best body language readers are tricked.'

Lying was Josh's craft, though.

Josh then made what seemed a forced smile, which can draw the

sympathy of anyone who looks at him.

"Who would think that Mr. 7 is a good cute boy. Let me play with your

cheeks."

"Thanks." Josh looked at the side and scratched his nose.

"You're calling my boy cute! " Mikita said as she struggled with the arms.

First Zala, and Now Ms All Sunday is flirting with Josh.

"Just saying facts now. I have few questions, such as" Robin said, not

completely looking to be trusting Josh. "How do you know what I'm

doing? Do you have a Devil Fruit that read minds?"

Josh found himself creating an imaginary story for Robin, just to answer

her questions about he knew about her identity.

The first one was that he had met one of the pirate crews she used to

work on. One of the pirates had an idea about what she is doing. Josh,

who had been touring the sea aimlessly that time, had doubts about the

Legendary ancient weapon, and he had met someone who had survived

Crocodile in the past.

Meanwhile, Mikita, who was standing from the side, was opening her

eyes widely.

She knew Josh was making up the story since it's obvious that his, their,

real goal was to make money. And josh was doing this just to have

Crocodile's wealth.

However, the way he is saying things made even her doubt what's real

and what's not.

Thinking for a brief, Mikita could tell that Josh is doing it to get out.

After all, Ms All Sunday, that hot brunette, is strong enough to kill both

of them really quickly. That idea alone scarred the Blondy

'Probably, it's the blue-haired girl who told him that… in any case, I have

to let him speak.' Mikita thought and started playing with her hat and

used it to cover her face, so Robin can't see through her.

"I see. You don't want innocent people to die. And you told Vivi to come

here and report for the mission." Robin leaned back on her arms-made

chair and crossed her long legs.

Josh gave a nod. "Believe it or not. That's the truth."

Robin didn't feel that he was lying. Josh's body language was honest as

well.

She had learnt those things the hard way. And, in this world, there are no

lawyers since most of the courts are under the military of the World

Government.

Robin reached her breasts, and she picked up a really small snail, a

communication snail.

Josh turned his head and coughed. The snail looked exactly like an

avatar of Crocodile.

For an instance, a really short while, Josh started thinking about what's

like to be a snail, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Yes, boss. The mission is complete. Mr. 7 has done a good job. The

rebels and the dealers managed to escape. Meanwhile, the soldiers were

knocked out peacefully… the rebellion won't be harmed."

Josh looked at the bodies on the ground.

Knocked out peacefully?

They look like they need few days to fix their cracked bones and necks.

The snail started talking, copying Crocodile's voice.

"Miss All Sunday, good job. Is Mr. 7 next to you."

"Yes, he is."

Robin nodded. She extended her hand toward Josh, who stood up and

grabbed the snail from her hand.

"Boss," Josh called as he unconsciously made the military salute, mocking

expression taking over his face.

"You have something to say?"

"I won't add more on what Miss All Sunday has said, except that the last

twist," Josh looked at Robin, "was unpredictable."

"Things like this happens often." Crocodile sighed from the other side.

"Hmm… so, does this mean, the mission is accomplished."

"Yes."

"Boss."

"What do you want?"

"My payment. We agreed I get this month's salary in advance."

Josh looked around.

Robin opened her blue eyes widely as she was staring at him in reaction.

Josh gave her a shrug from his shoulder and waited for what Crocodile

has to say.

Robin put her elbow on her crossed leg, hand on her face, and suppressed

her chuckle.

"…"

Crocodile, after a while, sighed deeply.

Crocodile told Josh not to push his luck too much. There would be a

reward transferred to him later, and he would then rest.

Five million Berries Josh will get.

Josh was unsatisfied by this. Five points are only five million, and that's

how much Crocodile is giving him. Added that to his original number,

Josh thought it's time to move against Crocodile.

There are other better ways to earn money.

One of them is to hunt pirates for his own.

"Well, thank you, boss," Josh said, forced expression taking over his face

as he rolled his eyes.

"Go back to your posts."

Crocodile then cut off the call.

Josh suppressed the urge to slam the snail to the cold ground.

It was night and the desert was really cold at this time.

"Your boss is cheap, isn't he." Josh looked at Robin.

Robin smiled and nodded. She then stood up to her full height and

walked to Josh.

"So, what are you going to do?" Josh asked,

"I'll just observe you, what you say, and what you are going. I'll do what I

see right at the right moment."

She scanned Josh.

"Hmm… what do you expect then." Josh had to know.

"Follow your path, the one which you carved for yourself."

Robin placed her hands on his cheek suddenly. Before he could say

anything, she bent down and kissed his cheek.

Josh opened his eyes widely when he felt her smooth full lips sucking his

soft cheek.

It spread a tickling feeling that spread some blood to his middle.

Robin bent back and smiled at him.

Mikita was shocked but didn't move or say anything. Robin was way

stronger than her, so she didn't want to get herself killed.

"In any case, you are a good boy. Be patient."

"Ah…" Josh said, nodding, her breasts were close to him, and the kiss did

its effect.

He isn't a little boy.

"I'm an adult."

"No. I am the adult."

"I need an adult?"

Robin then gave him her back, allowing him to stare at her curvy butt

cheeks.

She started then walking away.

"You better find somewhere to stay, it would get cold here, soon, very

soon." She said, reaching a near camel as her ride.

Josh kept staring at her butt. Getting a kiss on the cheek from a beauty…

He shook his head. Focus, he told himself. Things are getting rough now.

*Bang*

Josh held the back of his head and turned, to see Mikita frowning at him.

When their eyes met, she crossed her arms, turned her head, and scoffed.

"Humph."

Smiling, Josh walked and grabbed her from behind.

"Leave me," Mikita said. She, however, did not attempt to stop him.

Instead, she hit her hips against his crotch.

"Come on. You know I had to do that. Otherwise' I wouldn't do it in front

of you." Lied Josh.

"Really." Mikita turned and looked at him.

"Of course, why would I leave a tasty lemonade like you." Josh wrapped

his arms around her waist, and then he leaned forward and started

kissing her neck.

"Swear." She said, her weight becoming one kilo as she melts in his arms.

Josh swore as he kept kissing her neck.

The fact it was getting cold required them to start warming up each

other.

"Oh, Joshy… don't do that again. Ah~" she started moaning as her pale

skin was getting red; a sign usually means that she is getting horny.

"Cough…" Josh faked a cough, not wanting to have sex on the sand.

"Mikita, how about we stay at the palace for the night."

Josh turned and looked at Mikita.

Mikita, who was horny, said with a little blush. "You mean, about that…

Vivi or whatever."

"Bingo. We need also a little loan from them." Josh said.

He needed as much as money he can get from the king.

He is going to play the lottery.

There was a month left for him to finish the task he got from the system.

And the outcome depends on the lottery Josh is going to play.

The royal soldiers of Alabasta started opening their eyes.

They originally had a mission to capture the weapon dealers and

interrogate them with some of the rebels.

However, they never thought that two persons would be enough to take

them down -- they, who are highly trained soldiers.

Not to mention, the mysterious woman who cracked their bones down.

They were feeling pain in their arms, necks, and any place that can be

dislocated.

"You have finally awakened."

The man, who stopped them from doing their job, was looking at them

while hugging the blond woman from behind.

The man just made a small apology to them, saying what happened was

necessary, and then he explained that he is the one who provided the

information to Vivi.

The soldier captain was shocked at first. However, he had no choice but

to believe them.

(A/N: If they had a spy in the guards, Crocodile would have called his

agents or asked them to change the delivery location... )

If Josh really wanted to do something to them, he could slit their throat

while they had been unconsciously lying on the ground.

"What do you want."

"I want you to say something to your king." Josh made his claim.

The head of the guards here didn't seem to believe him at first and

expressed his worries.

"It's your right to feel worried," Josh said, "however, I'm worried as well

from you." Josh showed that he doesn't trust them as well.

"How are we supposed to guide you then."

The head of the guard couldn't believe someone who doesn't show his

face completely.

"Don't worry. Just do tell the king someone will be meeting him in the

main hall tonight."

Josh smiled as he said with a very low tone.

"Wait, how are you going to do…"

Before he could complete his words, Josh's figure flashed. The blonde

woman has vanished as well

The soldiers were confused. Few seconds after the vanishing of the

mysterious people, a small cloud of sand rose.

"Take the weapons. We shall move back and report."

The soldiers were feeling a bit of shame.

They had come to stop the rebels, yet they are covered in dust and

groaning in pain.

If people saw them, they would say that the rebels beat the guards and

let them away.

This would serve the rebels more.

But as royal soldiers, they have no choice but to carry with the orders.

-x-X-x-

King Cobra, a tall muscled man, with long black curly hair, was sitting on

his throne, putting his hand on his face after hearing the report from his

soldier.

Last night, his daughter, who had vanished a year before, had come back

with a report about what's going on in their country.

She had told him that she met a mysterious agent who knew her from

one glance and even helped her with a piece of information. He even had

said that he has more information, about the guy who is ruining the

king's reputation and lit up the fire of rebelling.

Not only so, but he is selling the weapons to the rebels at a very cheap

price.

This is a crisis. The king scratched his hair. Someone wants this country

to fall.

However, there was one guy who had told his daughter, allowing them to

stop the first weapon trade here.

But it's not over…

The king thought about the agent who helped his daughter.

'Can he be an expert mercenary?'

King Cobra rested his chin on his hand, elbow on the thrown.

The soldier just reported that the young man, who had been a bodyguard

to the weapon dealers, said that he would visit them tonight.

King Cobra stood up and walked to the main hall.

He could ask Vivi about the look of Mr. 7.

But he wanted his tired daughter to rest.

Still, he felt it was a silly idea that someone would meet him in the main

hall, bypassing his guards and all.

King Cobra shook his head, entered the main hall, and sat down.

"Leave me alone." He told his guard, who nodded and left.

"I almost got bored."

King Cobra's heart almost stopped when he heard a voice a feminine

voice coming from the corner.

Turning, he saw a young brown-haired blue-eyed young man.

He was eating some cookies.

"Hope you don't mind. I took some snacks. I have left some berries back if

you ask me." Josh said that to Cobra, whose facial expressions were

frozen.

"Mmm… I think you didn't take too much." Came a feminine voice.

King Cobra turned his head to see a blonde woman floating across the

room.

He quickly recognised them.

"Mr. 7. Ms Valentine." He addressed them.

Agents usually work in a couple. A blonde woman and a brown-headed

guy, according to his daughter, are Mr 7 and Ms Valentine.

"He's recognised us, I told you." Mikita laughed a bit, as she started

descending and landed on a chair.

Josh shook his head, ate the rest of the cookies, and then took a seat,

before staring at the king.

Josh, who came from the 21st century, has no mentality of treating a

king as a king.

He is used to democracy, where the ruling is in the hand of the people.

King Cobra shook his head and leaned back on his chair.

"You came earlier than my daughter had said." King Cobra said.

"So, you were expecting me." Josh noticed that.

"After beating my soldiers and making that declaration, yes."

"Good, very good." Josh nodded. "This way, we can skip a lot of talks."

Josh didn't want to waste a lot of time.

King Cobra, on the other hand, seemed to be in a quite difficult situation.

Although he is a politician, given the nature of his job as a king, found

that Mr. 7 is a quite straightforward person who may be hard to deal

with.

"Let me ask you. Are you mercenary?"

"No." Josh shook his head. "I'm just someone you bet on."

"How? By buying information?"

"No." Josh leaned forward and said, "it's by saving your people, and

yourself, before it's too late."

King Cobra made eye contact that lasted for a while before he sighed and

looked at the ground.

"Well, forgive me for forgetting my manners. Before negotiating about

the price, let me thank you. Because of you, I have my daughter back."

King Cobra lifted his hand. "Call Vivi."

"Wise choice," Josh leaned back on the chair. "She was there when we

made the deal."

The King suppressed his urge to flinch.

But he sighed and said. "Now, can we discuss what kind of information

you have?"

"Didn't the princess tell you already?"

"She did." The king nodded. "But I want to hear it from you."

"Hey, Vivi." Josh waved his hand.

"Hey," Mikita said, as she was sipping a lemon tea teacup.

Vivi nodded awkwardly, seeing that her guests arrived, and they were

talking with her dad already.

Nefertari Vivi took a deep breath. The 15 years old girl then sat next to

her dad.

Who would ever think that her dilemma of bringing Josh to the castle

would be solved on its own?

"Long time no see, you look quite different," Josh said to Vivi, smiling

gently.

"Thanks." Vivi nodded shyly. True, her figure has changed.

Josh scanned her. Unlike the fighter girl he had seen in Baroque Works,

Vivi here was wearing a red dress that fits a princess. She was nice

looking 15 years old girl, in fact, she looked more like a woman, given

her height of 169 cm.

"So, how about we start talking…"

Josh joined his hands together and tilted his head.

The king started listening carefully.

Josh said he would take 60 million Berries for the information he has.

The king nodded.

If that can save their countries, Vivi believed that her father would pay

the price.

"Do you need the money now?"

"The sooner the better. I'm going against my own boss, you know." Josh

shook his finger and leaned back on his chair.

"I see," Cobra nodded. "You have my word that you would get them once

you tell us."

"I'll choose to trust you then."

Josh then started telling them the missed information

The boss of the Baroque Works is the real one behind the rebellion.

The leader of the rebels is Vivi's childhood friend, and he, just like

everyone, is manipulated by the boss behind the Baroque Works.

When Vivi and Cobra were in suspense of the identity of the mysterious

card master who is scheming behind their country, Josh answered.

"Crocodile."

"You mean!" the king couldn't suppress his shock when he heard Josh

saying the name.

"You got that right." Josh turned to Mikita.

"Mr.0 is Crocodile." Mikita completed his words. "My hubby here felt

sorry for you, so he is helping your poor as—"

"Ahem. Valentine. Enough." Josh said. If he let her continue, Mikita may

get vicious with her words.

"Fine, Joshy~"

Like an obedient girl, Mikita held his arm with both hands and hugged it

to her chest.

Meanwhile, Vivi and King Cobra both were shocked by this information.

"Are you sure it's him? The Warlord, Crocodile!" Vivi screamed.

Josh put a finger in his ear. "I'm happy I didn't tell you back then, you

would expose my cover with your yelling."

Vivi blushed when her eyes met with Josh's. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Meanwhile, the king was looking between his legs. "He is the owner of

the Crocodile Casino in Rainbase City. He is known for his strength, that's

why he is a Warlord. Without proof, we can do nothing against him. The

World Government is in his side."

The king and the princess lowered their heads. The king seemed to be

aware of his own situation.

"You can do something," Josh said, confidently.

"What is it?"

"Lend me more money, and I will use it to take him down." Josh said, "I

will repay it back later."

King Cobra rubbed his chin, looked at Josh, and started examining him

with half-closed eyes.

"What would you do with the money?"

Josh didn't seem that he is going to use the money for himself.

First, he is getting his payment, which is his right.

The second one is to lend him money.

"Finish up the job," Josh said.

"You have something against Crocodile, don't you." The king focused his

sharp gaze on Josh, who just smiled.

The king continued. "I won't trust anyone. What if you want to take the

money left."

"Well, it's your choice. I will take my payment and leave. In either case, I

would complete my mission, whether you lend me money or not."

Josh said honestly. He had no choice but to do this. Other than this, he

may die if doesn't accomplish his mission.

Josh has bet on his life he would take Crocodile down, and he is playing

the game against the system and fate.

"Hmm…"

The king lowered his head. Currently, his country is going through a

crisis.

King Cobra can do nothing against Crocodile since the latter has the

World Government on his side.

Warlords can even do piracy and it would be totally legal. King Cobra,

without exposing Crocodile, can do nothing to take him down.

He stared at Josh — a man with a plan. However, Cobra doesn't know if

Josh is totally honest.

However, does the king have a choice?

"What shall I have if I gave you the money." The king asked.

Josh took a deep breath, joined his hands together and looked at the

ground. Lifting his head, he made eye contact with Cobra and said with a

firm voice.

"You have my word," Josh said.

"I will give you half of the loan now." The king said. "If your journey is to

save this country, you would get more than what I shall give you now."

One can't trust a man, but you can trust his greed.

Josh, instead of smirking, lowered his head as if he was sad, or deep

thinking.

"Thanks for your faith," Josh said.

He really needed this money.

Vivi, meanwhile, was staring at Mikita, who starred at Josh.

Mr. 7 is here to save them…. She knew that Mr. 7 himself isn't sure if he

can succeed in this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have told her to bet on him.

After few words, Josh shook the hand of the king. They had reached an

agreement that Josh would get around totally 100 million berries.

Such an amount could change the destiny of some villages and a town.

But, it would be nothing if it can't save the country.

"Ha…" King Cobra sighed when Josh held Mikita from the waist and they

vanished in thin air.

"Dad, Do you really trust him." The young princess asked her dad.

"You can't trust a man who you don't know his motivation. But I'm just

gambling here. A man who doesn't smile when he gets money in

advance," Cobra said. "Is a man who earns that money, not getting it. He

needs that, for something I don't know."

"I see." Vivi looked at her legs and bit her lips.

"He even didn't expose me back then…" Vivi suddenly remembered the

misunderstanding back then, and how she had thought Josh would ask

for her body. He hadn't treated her like a princess back then. However,

he treated her like a normal person with complete respect.

"Vivi, your face is getting red. Go to the doctor." Cobra leaned forward

and put his hand on her forehead. "Weird, your heat is normal."

"No! nothing father! I'm fine!!! I just need water! " Vivi waved her hands

in front of her face, eyes widely opened. She was just embarrassed by

what had happened.

"Now, this makes me wonder. What are you doing with your money? You

collect it all the time, and you look like you are near to be broke."

On their boat on their way to any random island where pirates can be,

Mikita asked Josh, who was looking at the sky.

Josh knew what she was thinking.

Josh had wasted millions of Berries in front of her eyes, and he can't just

tell her that he is giving them to the system, and then make a lottery.

"See, Mikita. What I'm about to tell you is a secret." Josh said.

"A Secret…"

"Yes."

Josh nodded, and Mikita's facial expression froze as she took a step back.

Josh stared deeply to her eyes with a gaze that pierced her soul.

"I'm trading it for power, with a friend of mine."

"A friend of yours."

"Yes."

Josh said. "He is a merchant. You can't see him or touch him. I give him

money, and possibly, if he is satisfied, he gives me things, depending on

his mood."

"What kind of nonsense is this?" Mikita raised an eyebrow. She put her

lips on his forehead and waisted for a second. "See, your temperature is

high. The desert's weather has really affected you."

"Ha… just let me show you, later."

Josh had to do this. Since Mikita is not only his job partner, it would be

better to shut her questions up.

"Fine, show me."

Mikita nodded and gave him a small kiss on the lips

-x-X-x-

On one of the Baroque bases.

After taking the salary Josh was promised, 15 million Berries, Josh now

totally has 115 million Berries.

If Josh stops handing pirates to Crocodile, he would have more money

for himself.

But now, there were only 29 days left for his mission, and he soon would

be taking risks.

"Josh, what are you doing."

"Just this."

Josh and Mikita were on one isolated spot, behind a forest, and facing

the beach.

Josh had drawn a circle on the sand, with a devil pattern in the middle.

Mikita was looking at the Devil pattern, staring deeply into her eyes, her

breaths stopping.

"I have eaten his fruit, and I have enough enemies already," Mikita said,

almost panting, a drop of sweat fell from her cheek as she gulped. "I don't

want another!"

"Are you afraid?"

"There are people whom you don't want to mess with." Mikita was

seriously afraid.

In a world where Devil Fruits gives power, people believed in Devils.

Josh turned and smiled at her.

"Do you believe in God?"

Mikita, who was afraid of the Devil, stared at Josh.

"It will protect you."

"He won't. I'm not religious. Great, I have two enemies now I don't want

to mess with." Mikita wanted to bite Josh now. "If you are teasing me, I

swear, I'm going to execute you by Snusnu."

"Hehe. Good, very good."

Josh then lit up some candles and sat down, placing a hundred million

berries in the middle of the circle.

Mikita opened her eyes widely and calmed down.

"The Money… it went away?" She exclaimed in confusion.

"Yes, it's a trade," Josh said.

Soon, he opened his system, and he found he has 110 draw points.

Josh thought about strategy.

He would put 10 points each time, which should give him a high chance

to get Good Tier things.

That would happen six times.

After that, Josh would put one point each time.

If he is lucky enough, he can even get Epic tier or beyond.

If he spent each point from 60 points, then he has sixty chances,

depending purely on his luck.

"Mikita," Josh sat in front of the circle.

"Yes."

"Give me a kiss, please."

"Why?" she crossed her arms, staring at him.

"I want to feel lucky."

"Alright."

Mikita sat on her knees next to him, before she put her lips on his cheek,

and gave him a deep kiss, sucking his smooth cheek skin.

"Muah."

Josh raised his fist and said. "Jackpot."

Mikita's kiss gave him something good at the beginning.

[+1 strengthening pills package (4 pills) (Excellent Tier)]

"Why are you happy?" Mikita raised her eyebrows.

"Yes!" Josh, so happy, turned and gave her a kiss on her lips, making her

melt.

She was his lucky talisman.

Josh took a package, five pills in it, and he gave one to Mikita.

"Eat this."

Mikita ate the golden milky pill as Josh three for himself.

Each pill increases strength by 300 kilos.

Josh felt that he skipped a month, or two, of training.

Quietly, he got a + 900-kilo boost, making him have the ability of +2

tons of power.

But he can't get cocky with this much strength. It's not enough in One

Piece world.

"What's this?" Mikita asked after the pill finished melting in her mouth.

"Try to lift something heavy."

Mikita nodded and went to a near rock. She, even though not appearing

to be, was very strong physically.

After all, she needs to handle the impact of falling at 10 tons weight and

crushing rocks.

Her strength was at +1 ton originally.

Yet, after trying to lift some heavy big rock, she felt it becoming light in

her hand.

"So, these are Devil Pills?" Mikita said, looking at the Devil Pattern. She

smiled. "Sorry if I was rude. I was just teasing Josh. How should I call

you."

"Call it whatever you like," Josh said. "Alright, stay here, we have a long

journey ahead of us."

Josh asked Mikita to kiss him more on the cheek, increasing his luck in

the lottery.

Results were better than usual.

[+ Angel Tears. (Epic)]

(Taking the curse of Devil fruit out.]

[Devil blood]

(boost Devil Fruit power +50%)

[Strengthening cigarette packet (Excellent)]

(Each one of the ten cigarettes increases the stamina by 30%)]

"Why are you smoking," Mikita asked as Josh grabbed some cigarettes

from thin air. They seemed to be ten in the first place.

"It's a gift from him, try three." Josh handed her three cigarettes and

pulled a lighter from his pocket.

Josh wasn't originally a smoker. But as a Baroque Work member, he has a

lighter, so he can explode TNT.

In any case, Josh, with the increase of his stamina, would have more

stamina in bed.

Because of his physical talent, Josh has become very good at bed, so

Mikita may get satisfied too quickly. His partner needed a small boost as

well.

[+ Judo manual (+Excellent Tier)]

Josh frowned. Great, another martial art manual.

[+Super human Serum (effective once) (Epic)]

(Increases the senses, the physical abilities, and the learning capacities by

100%)

Josh felt so lucky now, that he hit the jackpot.

Meanwhile, Mikita was drawing another Devil Pattern on the ground.

When Josh looked at her, he blinked twice. When she stared at him, she

blinked twice in a cute way.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"The same as you. I want to use my own money." Mikita stared at Josh

and said.

"Silly girl. You need to have contact with him first." Josh said. "I made it

when he offered it to me when I was about to die, in the deep sea."

"How do you make a contact with him."

Josh was creating a religion now. Mikita was his first follower it seems.

"You need to suck me off, and then, he may appear on you."

Mikita realised that he is trolling her. Holding a handful of sand, she

threw it at his laughing face and turned her face.

"Lame."

"Come on, it's a unique ability. Give me money, and we will play with

him."

Josh took a fist of stand and threw it at her face, revenging from her

earlier action.

Mikita rubbed her eyes when some of it entered there. She stared at Josh

and said. "Hey, that hurt, I have sensitive eyes."

"Really, you wash them with lemon each morning. How are they

sensitive?" Josh rolled his eyes.

"Hmm…" Mikita stared at him with big puppy eyes. "Don't you like

them?"

"I love them. Now, we still have more money in the count, let's see what's

the next gift."

Josh took a Devil Blood from his storage, in form of a bottle, and gave it

to Mikita, saying that it should boost her Devil Power.

Since he doesn't have Devil fruit, and they don't grow on trees, he needed

to keep what increases his strength.

Meanwhile, Josh started drawing from the lottery with a point each time.

He has sixty tries, with many chances in his hand.

Chapter 28: Chapter 28

Josh continued with his lottery last night. Sixty times with a point each

time. And he has yet to use Mikita's money.

The results, weren't as appealing as they should be when he invests more.

However, there had been some good moments.

In each ten tries, he can get 1-2 + Good Tier item.

His girl was his lucky charm. Well, he fell in love the moment he knew

Mikita increases his chances in the Draw.

Since some items weren't useful for him now, Mikita had drunk the Devil

Blood, and to her surprise, it boosted her Kilo-Kilo's ability. Now, she can

manipulate her weight from half kilo, to a 15.000 kilo.

"It's easier this way." Mikita said as she floated in the air after she

jumped, weighting almost half kilo, which allowed her to reach a very

high height.

"Alright, calm down." Josh said.

He had already got enough. Soups, items, blood. Josh, also, has 4 healing

pills in his storage now, which are saved for emergencies.

Josh had ate all the pills, smoke all cigarettes, and took his medicine.

His stamina has increased by 300%

His strength, because of the pills and elixirs, reached 3 tons.

And his agility doubled, increasing his speed.

Not to mention, Josh didn't even apply Super-Human serum, which

should, not only double his stats, but his mind capacities and fighting

abilities, including his reaction and thinking speed.

Josh started feeling optimise about his task now.

And he got a Judo manual, a martial art.

Not only now he is a master of Kung Fu, but Judo now.

Good. He has talent and tight time. Josh decided that he would practise.

And, what's more importantly, his gamble of expending his chances, has

gave him what he had been looking for — a legend rank stuff.

[+ Constitution Candy (Legend)]

Josh looked at the candy.

He was curious about the constitution he would get from.

Meanwhile, Mikita was floating around, testing her new agility and

power.

She was faster, stronger, and her Devil Fruit was better. She may even try

to master a new fighting style.

Josh had thrown the Kung Fu manual to her since he was done from it.

Most of martial arts teach the person to use his body mass to attack.

If Mikita could master it, she would turn into a real dangerous weapon

with her Devil Fruit. Just imagine a 15 ton focused on a small fist. It

would do more damage than a giant canon.

Back to the candy in his hand, Josh was looking at the description given

by the system.

(Constitution Candy: Gives a random constitution to the eater.)

Josh, who believed that legend rank can't be a simple reward, knew it

can also be something out of ordinary, which scared him.

'Just don't be some super killer farts constitution.'

Josh had read Wuxia genre in his previous life. He had realised that

Chinese authors has very creative mind to give someone constitution of

poisonous farts in one of the system novels he read.

'If you give me something like that, I will kill myself.'

Closing his eyes, he made his decision.

After eating the pill, Josh opened his system and looked at his

constitution.

[+ Mid Healing factor constitution.]

(A constitution that depends on the nutrients in blood to regenerate. A

healing factor that heals the wounds with a high speed. Can get slower

with many injuries.Critical wounds can be deadly sometimes. And can't

get lost limbs back.)

Josh half closed his eyes. His physical body has a healing factor now.

Even though it has some limits, it was so good.

He took a dagger, and made a wound on his arm, a small one.

three seconds later, the wound has vanished.

Josh felt amazed, and pain as well.

It seems that healing factor doesn't mean that he won't feel pain.

Josh then made a bigger wound on his skin, and it was healed few

seconds later. He noticed that it took more time than it would with a

small wound.

'The bigger the injury, the harder it heals.' Josh nodded.

He then felt a bit hungry.

Josh thought, and he felt happy. At least, with this ability, he would take

less time to recuperate in fight.

This ability wasn't endless. He can get hungry, and he can bleed out.

Josh then took the Super Human Serum, and injected himself since the

system gave him an injection. All of the sudden, his states doubled,

allowing him to get stronger, faster, and even think faster.

Still, Josh didn't feel it worth to mention.

After all, Sanji managed to kick a giant Crocodile flying.

Josh, who has 6 tons of strength now, didn't know if he can achieve the

same fate.

'But with Kung Fu techniques, and Judo, I can make stronger and more

concentrated attacks.'

Other than this, Josh felt that he has better reaction time, and his brain

seemed to function faster and better.

"Josh, let's use my money, we would get stronger that way." Mikita said,

smiling. Josh, as it seems, gave her the share of what the Devil gave him.

"Great. But we need to eat, first." Josh nodded.

Mikita went back to the ship and gave him around 35 million of her

saving. Josh had found himself drawing the cycle again, and of course,

this time, he only took a share of what she had given, since it was her

money.

Josh didn't mind taking the best items, since he had given her what

boosted her Devil Fruit.

What she got was few common items, with 2 Good Rank items and one

Excellent. The excellent rank item was a serum that increases agility,

while the other items was a packet of healing pills and a strength

increasing pill, reaching 7 tons in total.

Good for her and him. Josh kept the strength pill, while leaving her the

agility serum, since that would mean increasing her agility in the bed,

and moving faster in fights, which she needs when jumping.

Days started passing. Josh started training with his girlfriend in the Gym.

Because of his new physical constitution, Josh started eating more, and

training more, without stopping.

After a training session, he would eat a bit, and then train again. His

body was recuperating so fast.

What Josh did in these 15 days was a crazy routine.

He would use Shave to run across the island starting from dawn until he

feels exhausted, or hungry.

This caused him to express a dramatic increase in his speed, stamina, and

a better execution of his technique, allowing him to look like he teleport

ed. Also, because of the Super Human Serum, he managed to have a

better control over his speed.

"Here, drink."

Mikita looked at Josh, in the middle of their boat, practising shadow

boxing.

She threw him a bottle of water.

Catching it, Josh looked over Mikita. There was an item in his storage,

which he didn't know if he should give it to her now, since he felt a bit

greed.

The Angel tears remove the curse of the Devil Fruits. But he was hesitant

if he should give her, or wait until he gets a fruit.

However…

'I don't have a Devil Fruit power. And I don't want a weak one. Besides, I

can get it again in case I got a fruit.'

Josh smiled. He is just a little ambitious. He just needs more power to

have wealth, and then, he can rest, probably, with his woman, or women

in case he became a king, in his palace. A life where he does nothing

except enjoying was his final aim.

'But pirates can appear anytime, so it is better to be strong enough to

meet them.'

Josh resolved as he drunk the water.

He took the angel tears out of his storage, and his fingers got wet all of

the sudden.

Quickly, he let the wet drop fall from his hand to the water, before

handing it to Mikita and telling her to drink it. Mikita, after drinking it,

didn't feel anything different.

Josh didn't tell her, since she seemed distracted. He would tell her later.

He didn't feel bad for losing the tears. He can get tears any other day he

play lottery.

"What's it, it is tasty."

"Something I bought." Josh said.

"Devil-San gave it to you?"

"Wow. You quickly changed your attitude toward him."

"He's a nice guy. He only asks for money." Mikita said, rolling her eyes at

Josh.

"How did you know he is nice." Josh asked. He never thought he added

that in his new found religion.

"He gave you extra stamina." Mikita said.

"Somehow, hearing you say that, hurts." Josh, mockingly, rubbed the left

side of his chest, saying. "But still, it's curse, you can't keep up now."

"Only because you get hungry." Mikita teased.

"Says the one who moans at the first two minutes. Whatever. Where are

my weights, and food." Rolling his eyes, Josh gave her back.

"I'm here." Mikita jumped to his arms, and increased her weight to seven

tons, making the surface of the ship crack a bit.

Josh started exercising with her, lifting her up and down, which made

Mikita draw a happy expression on her face.

Meanwhile, Josh's muscles were healing and getting destroyed at the

same time.

And so, days started passing.

-x-X-x-

Josh landed in one of the Baroque Works' bases, Whiskey Peak.

He was with Mikita, relaxing the beach, half naked.

Josh needed this small vacation, since soon he would do his task.

However, he never expected his DenDenMushi ring.

"Who's with me." Josh, who is Mr. 7, said.

"Josh," said a feminine voice.

"Yes?" Josh recognised the voice.

"Josh, don't close, this is Robin." Robin said in a hurried, yet calm and

elegant tone.

Josh raised his eyebrows. "What did happen?"

----

A/N: Chapters ahead at patréon:

Chapter 29: Chapter 29

Josh was surprised by the call he has just got. Robin, aka Ms All Sunday,

is calling him and telling him that she has bad news for him.

Mikita, who was lying half-naked next to Josh, looked at the snail, while

Josh's face became serious all of the sudden.

"Come on. We barely relaxed from your training." She complained. Mikita

had been training with Josh for the last 15 days, increasing their

strength. When they had a chance to relax, Robin has called.

"What's going on?" Josh asked, ignoring the blonde woman on his side.

Robin, ignoring Mikita's remark, asked. "Did you visit King Cobra?"

"Well, maybe."

"Josh, be honest with me," Robin said with a stern tone.

Josh admitted. "Yes, I made a deal and gave him a warning. 15 days ago.

I thought in case there is a spy, you are the first one to know, since you

are the responsible one of gathering information for Crocodile"

Josh opened his eyes widely.

"That is what you may think. Somethings are out of my hand. Crocodile

doesn't trust me completely. How do you think Baroque Works

manipulate the rebels and ruin the king's reputation."

Robin was scolding Josh and it sounded as though he was a little brother.

"Whatever," Josh said, half closing his eyes. He wasn't so anxious. Just a

little bit. It was within his calculation that things would reach this point.

There are always spies somewhere. But still, it's a mystery that someone

saw him, especially when he sneaked in the palace using Shave. And no

one from the guards was a spy, since, in case they were, Josh would had

been informed to change the delivery location.

"May I ask, how did you find out."

"Someone heard Vivi screaming when she was talking with King Cobra."

Suppressing his urge to curse, Josh bite his tongue and narrowed his

eyebrows.

"For the God sake's…" Josh lowered his head and sighed. "That woman's

mouth..."

Vivi's big mouth. It was the whole reason for a big arc like Alabasta's to

start.

Can't a princess talk quietly?

Josh wanted to scold Vivi at this moment.

"Kyahahaha… we've been found out." Mikita laughed, not sounding

worried at all.

With the power boosts they got, not to mention that she invested her

money with Josh, she believed that they would be able to steal from

Crocodile.

Of course, there are strong agents not to mess with, such as Mr.1 and his

partner, Zala.

"Ms Valentine, you must be aware of the situation you are in." Robin

sounded annoyed by Mikita's reaction.

"Anyway." Josh opened his mouth. "What will happen since we're

exposed?"

Robin rubbed her temple. "First of all, I have to thank you for telling me

about Crocodile's weakness. After investigating, I realised that he doesn't

leave when rainfall, and he always seems to avoid water."

"Mmm…" Josh nodded. "Great weakness, isn't it."

Robin continued. "Also, I want to know. What are you going to do? I

don't think you were planning to fight Crocodile without a backup plan,

or with just a bucket of water."

"I have to know what I will be facing first," Josh said. "Tell me about

Crocodile's counter plan first."

"Good choice." Robin approved. "Crocodile will send you on a random

mission…" Robin paused.

"But it is a trap." Josh continued in her stead.

"Bingo." Robin said, "I knew you are smart enough to figure that on your

own."

"Not as smart as you, Nico," Josh said, using her last name.

"Fufufu… so, how are you going to react. Will you run and hide."

"Nah, I think I will be going to the lion den," Josh said.

Mikita had a wide smile on her face. Meanwhile, Josh put a leg above

another.

"Well." Robin sighed. "Do you have a plan?"

"Do you have the green powder," Josh asked about one of the most

forbidden chemical matters.

There was a pause from Robin's side as she was trying to get what Josh is

mentioning.

"Fufufu…" Robin chuckled.

"Hahahaha." Josh smiled.

Mikita was confused when she heard Josh and Robin laughing.

"I was about to suggest the same thing. But drawing him out of his casino

isn't as easy as you think."

"Probably he will come once I deal with the rest." After putting the snail,

on the other hand, Josh stretched his arm and shook it.

"Are you strong enough for that," Robin said.

"I'm betting my life on it." After a small pause, Josh said.

Since he was in Anime based world, he looked around, waiting for some

epic music to play.

But that shit isn't going to happen.

The only music that was playing came from him. It was drum music. And

the player was his heart that was beating so fast, pumping adrenaline-

filled blood through his veins.

Although Josh had enough courage to say that; courage exists when a

great fear is there on the counter, meaning that Josh is aware of the risks

he is taking.

"I'll play a requiem for you in case things went bad." Robin sighed and

seemed to go back to her serious tone.

"Sure, I appreciate that…"Josh didn't smile at all.

After exchanging more words, the call was hanged.

"This is bad." Josh relaxed on his beach chair and looked at his pretty

partner.

"But exciting at the same time," Mikita said with a wide smile.

After examining her, Josh shook his head. He wondered if she is aware of

the dangers, or does she has more self-confidence… Still, in any case,

Josh is the mastermind. He is the leader, and he must be aware of

everything.

Comparing himself to Mikita isn't going to make things better.

"Yes." Josh nodded.

Mikita stood up, lightened her weight, and sat on Josh's crotch.

"You know what would be more exciting." Mikita made a smile that split

her face into two.

"What?"

"Have a wild sex before fucking up the Baroque Works."

"Hahaha. You're crazy," Josh said. "But I love you."

"I know. You too."

"Huh?"

"I mean you are crazy as well."

"Hehehe." Josh just laughed.

Mikita unzipped his shorts and took out his shaft. She then pushed her

underwear to the side, revealing her womanhood. Adjusting the angle of

the spear to her slit, Mikita sat on it, and she started shaking her hips.

Josh, in the middle of relaxing and enjoying the massage his D is getting

through her meat walls, was about to orgasm.

However, the snail next to him rang.

"Don't stop," Mikita said as she shook her hips again on his crotch. "It's

him. Let's just mess with him."

"Hahaha…" Josh chuckled, thinking that he is crazy to pick up the call

while Mikita is dancing above him.

"Boss, yes." Josh picked up the call.

"Mr. 7." Came Crocodile's voice.

"Yes, sir. How can I serve you." Josh said, looking at Mikita's breasts

bouncing, his member sliding in and out.

"You sound quite happy. Something good happened to you?" Crocodile

said with a sarcastic, yet very calm tone that you can't get the sarcasm.

"It's just that time of year when I am in a good mood."

Josh extended his hand to stop Mikita; otherwise, he may cum.

"You know, you have an urgent mission. Move by tomorrow. The

coordinates would be sent to you."

"Alright."

The call was cut. Josh let a short moan as the snail fell from his hand,

and he looked up.

Mikita finally started moving her hips.

"What in the hell in your mind." He said to his moaning girl, who started

flooding on him.

"More of this." She said. Josh had improved in bed each time they have

sex. She couldn't just hold herself.

Josh found himself changing the position, continued having sex, and, he

felt a better mood than he usually would think he would be after having

a call from Crocodile.

Only if Crocodile knew why Josh seemed happy, he would send someone

to kill him on the spot.

After wearing their clothes, Josh said. "We have to move, soon, very

soon."

"I know," Mikita said, floating around. "I'll be seeing the other agents, and

we would fight. I would be testing myself against them." She said as she

kicked in the air.

Josh nodded.

"Mini-bosses... We have to be careful then."

[Ding, Task generators has a new gamble for you.]

[Mini bosses fight. Do you accept (y/n)]

Josh saw that he has a quest from the system.

[New Gamble: Minibosses fight.

Before reaching the final boss, one has always to pass some struggles on

line while facing his minions.

Rewards:

Mystery Box for each mini-boss (Tier 3 and above)

20 Draw Points for each mini-boss.

What you are betting on:

50 points.

Josh found that he has no choice but to sigh and accept. After all, even if

he wanted to refuse, he would still have to face the agents. Accepting the

mission added great rewards for him on the way. So, he accepted.

-x-X-x-

Sitting on the top of the sail of his boat, Josh looked at the shadow of a

very big island on his way.

Mikita, floating while holding a compass, nodded. "It should be this

island."

"How can you be sure."

"Because it's the nearest one to Whiskey Peak, and with this compass, it's

assumed we would go here."

"Anyway, don't let your guard down."

"Kyahahaha… they shouldn't let their guards down."

Josh shook his head.

Even though he had been training in the last days, making his physical

strength reach almost 8.8 tons, he didn't allow himself to get cocky.

Maybe because he can't do punches that are 15 metric tons heavy. But it

was still to have an ally like that next to him.

Very soon, the shadow of the island they reached began to become bigger

and bigger.

They landed on the beach and looked in front of them.

The island was really large, covered in trees all around. One can tell that

it's not habituated island. Josh and Mikita landed around and started

walking.

'This place… so familiar.'

Josh was trying to remember where he had seen this place from the

show.

Bam…Bam…

"Josh, be careful," Mikita said, pointing with her hand forward.

All of the sudden, a giant dinosaur, a brown one, with a height of 15

meters, appeared in front of them.

Mikita quickly lightened her weight and jumped up, floating. Meanwhile,

Josh quickly activated Shave and vanished from the sight, avoiding the

mouth of the giant creature that tried to eat him.

Quickly, Josh appeared above it, couching and making a fist. "Kung Fu.

Brick breaking punch." He wanted to try to declare the name of his attack

once since he is facing a mindless dinosaur. After punching it, the

dinosaur seemed to feel pain.

Although Josh smaller body put him at disadvantage, however, his

strength was very concentrated, which caused a lot of damage.

And he had higher agility.

After the creature roared and ran away, Mikita descends from the sky,

and she crushed its skull as she fell and generated a good impact that did

some damage to its brain, making it fall and losing consciousness.

"Well, it's not as scary as a sea monster," Mikita said.

"Agree."

Josh jumped and held her from the waist before they landed on the

ground, away from the creature.

However, soon, they noticed a giant blade heading toward their original

spot.

A giant man, 20 meters in height, waved a giant axe, cutting the

dinosaur's head, and making its body fall limp.

"Great, we have a dinner for the night."

The giant said as he picked up the body of the dinosaur. The giant didn't

seem to notice them.

Meanwhile, Mikita and Josh were opening their mouths widely while

looking up.

"These. These are the Giant Pirates previous leaders." Mikita declared.

"You know them."

Josh could know them from the show. But he didn't think Mikita would

know them since if memory served him well, they had vanished for

50-100 years.

"Ah… I see the posters from some time, read articles." Mikita said. "These

people have been vanishing for 50 years, the two leaders of the pirates

were said to be dead after fighting."

Mikita rubbed her throat.

The one they had just seen, a fat giant, has a bounty of 100 million.

A 100 million Berries 50 years ago worth more than 100 million

nowadays, that's why Mikita was anxious.

"Well, they are alive," Josh said as he jumped, reaching a high point in

the air.

Looking around, he saw another giant, who looked muscular, 20 meters

in height, holding a sword and cutting another dinosaur and preparing

his dinner.

"Should we hide?" She asked.

"Don't worry. They are gentle guys." Josh said.

Anyone who can tolerate Luffy around them deserves the good citizen's

reward.

Someone who is changed by Luffy deserves sympathy.

That's why Josh didn't seem afraid of them.

He pitied them somehow.

"Do you think Crocodile wants us to hunt them down?"

"I don't think so. It's a trap, remember. Probably Mr 5 would notice them

and use them to bait us."

"I know. I'm wondering about his scenario if you know."

"Who knows." Josh shrugged his shoulders.

Josh thought of probably asking the giants to join him in Alabasta,

however, knowing that these two giants have been fighting for tens of

years.

When Mikita and Josh walked in one direction, they stopped in front of

two people, sitting.

"Oy, you two took your time to arrive here." Came a strange voice.

Turning, the two saw a tall black man, around 198 cm, wearing

sunglasses.

Next to him was an average height woman, around 175 cm. She had

straight green hair - shoulder length - hourglass shape, and a huge chest.

(A/N: She is an Oc.)

"Gem," Josh called.

"It's Mr. 5 now, Josh." Gem halted his step and looked at Josh and Mikita.

"And who is this cutie next to you." Josh turned to the pretty girl.

"My partner. Ms Liberty."

"That's a new name." Mikita suppressed her laugh, and desire to say that

Baroque Works can't find better names.

Gem, Aka Mr Five, looked at Josh.

"So, Mr 7, I see you have been promoted quickly as well."

"Not as quick as you," Josh replied to Gem, who had a smirk on his face.

"Anyway, what do we have here?" Josh asked.

"Hunt these giants down," said Mr. 5.

"Really. For someone as strong as them, Nah." Josh said. "At least. Mr.1

has to be here."

"Don't worry. With my Devil Fruit's ability and your agility, we can do it."

Gem patted his dark sunglasses and looked at the towering figure of a

giant eating dinosaur meat.

Josh and Mikita on the other hand were sneering inside.

They both knew it was a trap.

However, their foes don't know that they know.

Josh and Mikita stared at each other.

When Josh nodded at her, Mikita understood what he meant.

They would play along, and then, when Gem and his partner lower their

guard, they would attack.

Josh looked at the green-haired girl. 'Now, I wonder what's her ability.'

"Let me explain to you my strategy."

Putting his hands behind his back, Mr Five started walking and

explaining what Josh and the rest have to do.

Chapter 31: Chapter 31

Josh wanted to say that Mr. 5 is crazy.

Mr 5 had a mind-fucked-up strategy.

Ms Liberty here has a unique Devil Fruit ability. Gasoline-Gasoline Fruit,

which allows her to create a huge amount of gasoline out of her body,

liquid or gas. That was a burning matter. With Gem's Bomb-Bomb power,

the two of them would make great partners.

Gem explained. One of the giants now would be drinking alcohol that

they left on the beach, which contains gasoline.

The standing of one of the giants is now covered by gasoline, which Ms

Liberty used to cover the whole area.

"What's my job," Josh asked.

"The most important one. You are going to distract them while we sneak

behind, and then I would be blowing up their place."

"I see."

Josh said. 'He thinks I am stupid.' He thought. 'The real stupid man is the

one who believes that he is smart.'

Mr. 5 is stupid to think that Josh can't smell something fishy here.

It's obvious when Josh tries to distract the giant, he would be buried with

them.

And even if the gasoline and explosions didn't work on the big guy, the

big guy would try to kill Josh.

"Let's move."

Said Josh to Mikita. They then started walking.

When Josh's eyes met with Mikita's, he gave her a slight nod. She nodded

back as if she understood.

Josh then looked forward and smiled, before he vanished.

Making her weight light again, Mikita opened her umbrella and floated

up.

"I will look from up." She said so Mr 5 and his partner trust them.

-x-X-x-

"Good afternoon, sir." Josh approached the giant, who was 20 meters tall.

The giant was fat, that's for sure, had a long blonde moustache and

beard.

"Oh. A human?" Smiling curiously, the giant turned and stared at Josh.

He put the barrel of alcohol down, and it was good that he didn't start

drink yet.

"Yes. Other than human, what can I be?"

Josh looked at the side. There were many barrels. Mr.5 seemed to want

to hit two birds with one rock.

"It has been a long time I didn't see one. I almost forgot how small you

are. Hahaha." The giant laughed as he reached with his hand a cooked

dinosaur's meat, and ate it. "No, it has been a long time since I have seen

anyone but Dorry. What's your name, and how did you get here?"

"My name is Josh."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Brogy. What's your purpose of coming here

human? Are you lost?"

"No, I'm just passing on a business trip."

"Business trip. You must be hungry then." Said Brogy, offering Josh some

food.

"No thanks. I'm full." Josh said, feeling pain in his neck from looking up.

Jumping up, he landed on the top of one tree.

"This better," Josh said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

Josh then waved his hand. "If you want why am I here, it's because I

want to warn you."

"Warn me?" the giant frowned all of the sudden.

"See. The drinks over there has burning matter within them. Drink them,

and a couple of bounty hunters would kill you and then kill me." Josh

said coldly, shrugging his shoulders.

"What do you mean?" the giant seemed confused as he looked around,

trying to find a trace for the bounty hunters.

"Mind taking few steps back."

When Brogy stood up and walked back, the ground shook beneath Josh's

legs.

Josh took out a lighter from his storage, a lighter which he won in a

lottery.

It was nice looking one, with a silver lion head on the top, fire coming

out of its mouth.

Appearing in front of the barrels, Josh put one of them on fire, before he

used Shave again and appear a hundred meters away.

*Boom*

Brogy had an exclamation mark drawn on his expression as a very huge

explosion took around the area. Not only so, but a huge fire was lit up on

the place.

Brogy quickly dashed toward the fire, jumped up, and waved his axe,

sending a compressed wind from the axe, making the flame fly away.

"Thank you, friend. You saved me from losing with Dorry." Brogy said,

his heart in his throat, but a smile on his face. Has he eaten that, he

would explode from inside?

Even though giants have great vitality, they are still weak from the

inside, like humans.

"You're welcome," Josh said.

Meanwhile.

While Mr 5 and Ms Liberty were sneaking, they stopped, thinking that

Josh has swallowed the bait.

To them, it was the time to deal with the traitor they have here.

However, Mikita understood that explosion as a sign.

Quickly, as Gem was sneaking after giving Ms Liberty a sign to deal with

Mikita, Mikita landed on the ground and clenched her fist.

When Ms Liberty turned, she saw Mikita taking a position of martial art,

squatting and making a fist.

"What are you doing."

Mikita shifted all her weight to her fist, before punching forward, and

then, in the instant, her fist touched the girl, she increased her mass to 5

tons.

The green-haired woman felt that she was hit by 5 tons concentrated in a

little fist...

Before she could realise it, she flew across the island, a strong impact

destroying her body.

Mikita stood up in her place and clapped. "

Kyahahaha… you know how much time it took me to master shifting my

weight… It wasn't a waste."

Mikita has been annoyed by the new woman since she gave Josh a look

at her ass.

Mikita, even though she doesn't mind women around much, some gets on

her nerves, especially when Josh calls them cuties.

After shaking her head, Mikita lightened herself to half a kilo and floated

around, looking for Josh, who is supposed to fight Mr. 5 now.

-x-X-x-

"Thank you for your warning. Do you need any help?" Brogy said to Josh,

wanting to repay the favour to the man who is on a business trip.

Josh shook his head, not lifting his head as he felt enough pain. "Maybe

later, if you can leave the island?"

"Sorry about that. I have been fighting on this island for a hundred years,

and I'm not willing to leave until that is over."

"A hundred years, wow."

Josh gave him an admiring look. "Is there something that keeps you

here?"

"Yes, my pride," Brogy said as he lifted his axe, before reaching the

ground and lifting a shield.

Brogy has been here for one reason. A hundred years ago, he and his

friend argued. And because of it, they had been fighting for a hundred

years. Brogy and Dorry aren't willing to leave this place until a victorious

emerge from them.

"I hope you find an alternative solution," Josh said. Thinking about his

experience as an intern lawyer, he said.

"You know, I can be your medium."

They may leave and help him to attack Crocodile if that happened.

However, Brogy just made a loud laugh and looked at Josh as if he said

the cutest thing Brogy ever heard.

"Hahaha… Even I know that impossible."

"Yes, whatever."

Josh jumped off the tree and landed on the ground. There was only

burned grass to stand on. Looking around, Josh crossed his arms.

"Your pride, your problems." Josh preferred not to waste his time.

"Pride your ass." Came a voice. "You failed your mission, Mr.7"

Stopping from walking, Josh turned his head and smirked at Gem. "I

believe that you are the one who failed, not me."

"Hey, are you the one who put that," Brogy said, pointing to the black

man.

Brogy could easily tell that the black man was the one behind the

explosive barrels.

Quickly, he held his axe and lifted it. However, Gem took mucus from his

nose, aimed it at the giant, and unleashed it. The mucus exploded enough

to cover the giant's chest.

Brogy quickly held an armour and protected himself from the explosion.

"Don't underestimate me, little brat." Brogy slammed with his axe to the

ground, making a huge slit spread across it.

Gem jumped to the side and aimed another explosive mucus to the giant's

face.

The giant wasn't much harmed, but he was blinded by the flash, and his

hearing sense was confused, as the explosion was so loud.

"Brogy, leave this to me," Josh said, looking at Gem. If Brogy fought, he

can harm Josh accidentally.

Josh quickly squatted.

After hearing Josh, the giant raised his armour and glared at Gem. "After

you, I'll take him." He said angrily.

Gem only sneered before looking at Josh. "Mr. 7. You're a disgrace for

our Baroque Works. Today, I will take your head to the Boss."

"Yeah, are you fast enough for that?"

"Why would I worry. You only stopped at number seven. I'm Five."

"There is one reason for that." Josh squatted, reached his back with his

hand, and grabbed one long dagger.

"And what is it."

"I was wasting time... with your mom." Said Josh, provoking his enemy.

Chapter 32: Chapter 32

Mr. 5 pulled a gun out of his pocket, and he exhaled, putting his breath

in the chambers of the gun, before flipping them and aiming that gun at

Josh.

"I didn't want to use this. But I have seen that you are a sneaky man." Mr.

5 pulled the trigger. However, no bullet left the gun. Gem had a smirk on

his face.

Josh half-closed his eyes. All of the sudden, he felt an air almost passing

by him.

Quickly, Josh used Shave to appear twenty meters to the side. In his

original spot, a big fire explosion took over that place.

*Bam*

Turning his head after finding where Josh appeared, Gem sneered at Josh

and said that even his breath can explode, just like any part of his body.

Gem pulled the trigger many times, sending unsealable breathes that can

explode from nowhere.

Josh appeared in another spot. Unexpectedly, the breaths of Gem could

take turns in the air and follow Josh, trying to explode him.

Luckily for Josh, the Super Human Serum gave him a faster reaction

speed.

When the explosion was about to happen, Josh quickly reached and

vanished in thin air, intending to hit Mr. 5.

Mr. 5 was already opening his arms. Although Gem can't see Josh, Gem

knows what his foe is about to do.

When Josh appeared behind him, Mr.5's whole body exploded, making a

huge explosion that reached the giant's height, and it was wide enough.

The giant crossed his arms and slid back from the strength of the

explosion.

Josh, who had stopped to do an attack behind Gem, was caught by the

explosion. In a quick reaction, he dashed back with Shave. Yet, the

shockwave from the bomb-human was faster than him.

Josh crossed his arms and flew backwards, hitting a couple of trees.

Luckily, he had a strong physical body. However, when his body hit

many trees on the way, he felt so much pain.

The biggest impact that damaged him was when his body sank into a

rock.

Gem turned and sneered at Josh, saying. "There is a big difference

between us."

Gem currently was standing in the middle of a large hole. His explosion

has wiped everything around him.

Josh was sunk in a hill. He opened his eyes, some blood gushing out of

his mouth, and there were wounds across his body. Although Josh had a

strong body, he has to take damage.

Gem expected that Josh would collapse at any moment.

Josh lifted his head and had a smile on his mouth. "And here I thought

you would declare the name of your attack."

"I only declare it in my head. What do you think you are at, a kid comics

that you find on the road."

"Funny thing, I did. Also, about the defrence between me and you." Josh

smile when he saw Gem flinch.

"I don't have a knife on my ribs." Josh continued as he swept the blood

from his mouth with a fist. "But you do."

Josh extended his right hand, showing it was empty. Gem quickly looked

at the left hand Josh and noticed that it didn't contain a dagger in it.

By the time Josh was done talking, his Healing-Factor constitution was

done from its job.

The healing factor was used, and Josh's injuries, even internal ones, were

healed. Though, they took a long time since Josh needed to speak in

order to stall Mr.5.

Mr. 5 was surprised when he felt the pain coming from his ribs. Josh had

stabbed him earlier.

Mr.5 thought that it won't matter since Josh had taken the worst damage.

He looked at the dagger again.

Mr 5 now needs urgent treatment, and he didn't dare to pull the dagger

out.

"Surprise."

Mr. 5 didn't expect to see Josh flashing in front of him out of nowhere,

raising both of his arms and opening them widely.

'No way!' Gem was caught off guard, as he had thought he had won the

battle.

Quickly, Josh chopped with his hands on Mr.5's neck sides, making him

fall on his knees quickly.

"What…" the ground started spinning in Gem's eyes, his sunglasses broke

from the power of the impact.

Josh wasn't done. Flipping in the air forward, he gave one strong kick to

Gem's face, sending him flying with the sheer force of his foot.

After landing on his feet, Josh looked at his clothes.

The explosion from earlier had shattered them. Josh reached his sleeves,

ripped them off, before throwing his shirt off.

Josh didn't know if Mr 5 heard anything since anything Josh says sounds

loud in his ears. But it didn't matter to him.

"I now wonder." Josh looked at the unconscious Mr. 5. "How do his

clothes resist the explosion."

Does the Devil Fruits affect clothes? As it seems, Gem can't be affected by

bombs. So his clothes. Or are they specially made for resisting

explosions?

"Cheap clothes." Muttered Josh as he looked at his topless chest.

[Ding]

[+ 20 Draw Points.

+ Mystery Box tier 3 (Excellent)]

"Amazing… hahahahaha… you beat him for real." Brogy cheered up for

Josh, who just smiled at him and waved his hand.

Brogy was excited after seeing how Josh beat his foe.

It was a great fight between two little men that excited the giant to fight

more.

Josh then excused himself to leave, picking up the body Gem and

walking to the side.

Brogy waved his hand, saying that he has a battle now with his foe, and

Josh wished them good luck.

In any case, the fight here would be eternal between the giants and Josh

has his own battle, and it was time for him to leave this island.

After picking up Gem's body, Josh threw it next to his partner's body, a

green-haired woman who has a Devil Fruit that unleashes Gasoline.

He shook his head, looking at Mikita, after seeing the woman between

life and death state.

"How much weight did you use."

"Not more than enough," Mikita said, smiling widely as she seemed to be

enjoying herself. "So, what are we doing with them."

"I have a plan for them."

Josh declared as he took two pills from his storage, after pretending to

put his hand in his pants' pocket.

"By the way, where is your shirt." Looking at his body, Mikita couldn't

help but wonder and lick her lips.

"Long story."

-x-X-x-

Josh slapped the face of Mister Five, and Mikita slapped the face of the

green-haired woman, making her wake up.

"What did you do to us."

"Let us Go. Urgh…"

Gem struggled and cursed trying to use his power, same for Ms Liberty.

However, something was weird, the two of them had half of their bodies

in seawater, next to Josh's boat.

Mikita, who was leaning on Josh, said. "Josh, weird, I don't feel weak."

She thought she should feel too weak since half of her body was in the

water.

Yet, she seemed to be able to move, fine, which scarred her.

Josh just turned, smiled, and pushed her further into the water.

"Hey!" she screamed, afraid, her heart skipping a beat. Yet, she didn't feel

weak and could move with more than half of her body in water. But

anyone would think she is putting a tough face, since most of Devil Fruit

users don't show weakness even when touching seastone -- except Luffy.

"Who knows why?" Josh winked at her.

Mikita quickly understood and opened her eyes widely.

She leaned to his ear and whispered "You mean, Devil Chan was happy

that has..."

"Ahem." With a cough, Josh cut her with a cough, before turning to Gem,

and the woman…

"What's your name," Josh asked the green-haired woman. She glared at

him with her green eyes and said. "You already know it."

"It's cringe. What's your real name."

"Cow D Melissa." She said with a weak voice. The punch Mikita has given

her has done so much damage that it was a wonder that she was alive.

"Good one. Mellisa." Josh nodded. "This way, we can talk with more ease,

Gem and Melissa."

"What do you want." Gem said, struggling. His shoulders were broken,

and two teeth were lost.

These guys need milk as fast as possible.

"You know. You are so talented. Stop working for Crocodile, and work for

me."

Josh had a plan

"Are you crazy? You think I would go against someone like him." Said

Gem.

"Boss, Mr 0, is a scary person, you know!"

Mellisa and Gem objected.

Josh smiled at them.

"But what can he offer to you. Baroque Works is a dead organisation.

Crocodile takes most of our money. Not to mention, he has a lot for his

own. "

Josh had heard that Crocodile has a casino with a giant golden crocodile

above it. That Golden Crocodile was made of pure gold, indicating that it

was worth some hundreds of millions of berries if that gold was sold.

Josh was only greedy with Crocodile's wealth.

"You don't understand." Gem lowered his head. "You have yet to see him

personally." He continued. "Crocodile is invincible."

"He is right. My previous partner objected on something." Melissa, whom

Josh never saw in the show, said. "You know, he held him from the neck.

The next second, my partner turned into a dried-up corpse. A few

minutes later, he died." She said, shaking.

"I don't blame you then. You don't know his weakness. Stay here and then

try to heal up your wounds. I have no use for cowards." Josh said. He had

intended to use the defeated agents in Alabasta.

However, they were cowards.

"His weakness!" Mellisa opened her eyes widely.

Gem looked over her, then looked at Josh.

"You are saying, there is a chance for that guy to lose! Do you know his

Devil Fruit?" Gem, before he could complete saying his words, started

coughing.

"I do." Josh smiled. "Now, what's your choice? Prove your loyalty, or die."

Even in case they had funny ideas, Josh had a way to guarantee their

loyalty to him.

Chapter 33: Chapter 33

Things were going great for Josh, who was now sitting by the edge of his

ship, Mikita looking at her hands, her jaw was widely opened in disbelief,

ignoring everyone around her.

Mikita never thought that water wouldn't weaken her now, as she was

unaware that Josh used one of the system's items on her to remove the

curse.

She thought that the Devil, which Josh had been trading with, lifted the

curse on her. Yet, she never had the courage to go deeper into the water.

The curse was lifted, yet the fear of sinking deeply into the sea was there

in the heart of a Devil Fruit user.

After all, the sea was known to hate those who had eaten a Devil Fruit.

Josh and Mikita looked at the side.

Gem was lifting a DenDenMushi and making his report to Crocodile.

His partner, the woman who was called Melissa, has changed her clothes

and thanked Mikita for lending her them.

"By the way, where did you get that medicine from," Melissa said as she

sat next to Mikita and Josh.

"I bought it on one of the islands." Josh gave a mysterious reply. " I have

already spent all the pills I had bought. Better not go to waste."

"I see. Thank you." The green-haired woman said.

"Thanking us for healing you after beating you, you have a thick face,

kyahaha." Mikita found it funny and laughed.

Melissa forced a smile and said. "No. I always want to leave the

organisation. But you know the rule. If an agent left, he will die with the

secrets he holds."

Josh looked at her eyes and said. "Don't be too optimistic, we have yet to

be over with it."

"Still." She stretched her arms. "I always wanted to retire after gaining

money, but we are all stuck there." Melissa smiled at Josh, who just

nodded at her, before looking at Gem.

Gem, currently, was making his report to Crocodile, sweat covering his

face.

-x-X-x-

In Alabasta, Rainbase City, there was a pyramid, a big one, with a giant

Golden Crocodile above it.

Since the city in which the pyramid was its centre was next to the sea,

the city was one of the few rich places in Alabasta, since it contains

water.

The pyramid was a casino that was owned by Crocodile.

Miss All Sunday, also known as Robin, was under the ground, wearing

her casino clothes: purple leather shorts and a purple short vest, which

was too short that it showed her long legs and slender belly.

Robin, currently, was hearing the report that Mr. 5 is giving to Mr. 0.

As Crocodile's personal assistant, she was responsible for all of the

information and all the reports that pass by this place.

Mr 5 was telling Crocodile how he had defeated Josh, and when

Crocodile asked about the body, Mr. 5 said that it was blown up, his

body scattered in every direction.

Robin found herself resisting to keep her facial expression from moving.

Josh was nothing but an innocent guy, who just wanted to help Alabasta

out of good intent.

'No way, I have warned him!' she shook her hand, which clenched into a

fist for an instant before becoming normal.

"Miss All Sunday, how the trades of the new weapons are going." Said

Crocodile, a man who is 2.4 meters tall. He was sitting at his desk,

smoking a cigar and looking at Robin.

Robin, who had been surviving her whole life, could hide her feelings

and nod with a professional smile.

Turning, she left to a private room.

"What the fuck!"

Opening her eyes widely, she put her hand on her mouth.

Since Josh had died, would his plan fail?

No… Josh was a man with a plan, she knew.

Holding her snail unconsciously, she called his line, not expecting anyone

to pick up.

"Yes, how can I help you." Came Josh's voice.

Robin expression changed from a semi sad into a cold one all of the

sudden.

"Darn-brat, what the hell just did happen!" She cursed, expressing her

urge to scold someone. Massaging her temple, she said, "We have a report

that you are dead."

"Ah, about that. Mr. 5 and his partner are with us now, so, you know."

Josh said in an apologetic tone.

Robin felt an urge to clench her fist. In her life, it has been a long time

since someone managed to play on her nerves — years actually.

"Fufufu… how your apology would compensate me. You know, you

should have called me before you decide to do something like making a

false report."

"Weird, somehow, your laugh sounded vicious. And since when did I

apologise?"

"You think so."

"Come on, Ane-San," Josh called her big sis, sounding sarcastic as she

tried to scold him.

"Ane-san?" Robin blinked twice.

Somehow, these words made her heart shake.

And she knows, her heart has been trained to be as cold as a stone.

Yet being called like that, made that stone melt.

"Kyahaha…" came Mikita's voice from the snail. "He is smooth. He got

you, didn't he, Ms All Sunday."

Upon hearing Mikita's remark, Robin blinked and snapped back.

"Ahem." Robin coughed. "Whatever. Now, tell me what happened."

Josh then explained to her that he beat the agents, and then they joined

his side. Robin listened carefully and nodded her head.

"Alright, I'll wait." She said.

"Sure."

"Aren't you going to call me Ane-san next time.."

"Are you used to it already?"

"No. Fufufufu… It just sounds cute from a little guy like you."

"Hey!" Josh retorted, making her chuckle until his next words surprised

her. "I have my own big part."

"Kyahahaha." Mikita laughed as she seemed to know what Josh is talking

about. "All of that height went to his coc—"

"You sure? If you have confidence in your words, Let me play with it one

day. Let's see if that height went there."

Robin thought they are expecting her to blush and cut Mikita suddenly.

She sneered. Robin is 28 years old and had been surviving in the middle

of the scums, pirates, and underworld ever since she was a child.

There was a pause for a second. Robin held her chuckle.

"Case closed." Came Josh's voice, calm.

"Ahem." Mikita coughed. "That's…"

"So, what are you going to do now." Robin leaned on the wall, feeling

proud of herself that she is teaching these young people a lesson about

degeneration.

"Whatever. Anyway, Let's follow the original plan for now. I'll be heading

to Alabasta, so, I may be seeing you soon."

"Sure, Mr 7." Robin nodded.

Josh and his party, on their way to Alabasta, had to stop on a near island.

They were travelling in two boats. Mikita and Josh are on their boat.

Gem and Melissa had their own boat as well. They didn't have to stay

together.

Since there is a big battle waiting for him in Alabasta, Josh needed to eat

some food, get some supplies, and fresh clothes, since Gem had blown up

his clothes.

"Alright, don't cause trouble," Josh said.

"Worry about yourself. I'm professional." Gem said, playing with his nose.

"I need to buy new sunglasses."

"Gross." Feeling disgusted, Melissa commented at the man who is playing

with his mucus.

"Fuck off." Gem gave them his back and started walking around.

"What a rude partner." Melissa snorted at him.

Josh and Mikita rolled their eyes.

Josh wasn't worried so much about Gem for now.

After all, he had made a false report to Crocodile, which means that Gem

is committed to this.

Of course, Gem can run or escape, but he can't join Crocodile's side again,

or he may die. And, if he really runs, Crocodile would chase after him.

The same thing for the green-haired woman.

You can't trust a man, but you can trust a forced man driven by a goal.

That was something Josh believed at.

Manipulating people comes after knowing them.

"I'll shop with you then." Melissa didn't go with Gem. Instead, she went to

Mikita side.

Josh suddenly rubbed his head and asked the woman. "By the way, do

you have money."

"What happened to your share!" Melissa said, astonished. "You are

number 7. Anyone who hears about you assumes that you have a lot of

money, especially given the fact that you betrayed the boss."

Baroque Works were all but without money.

"I spent all of my money," Josh said.

She took a half step back and stared at his eyes. "Why would I share the

money that I have to spend my life gaining."

"Because you will get good karma." Said Josh, lifting his eyebrows

slightly.

Melissa looked at Mikita. "He is young, isn't he?"

"Yes, around 17 or 18. We don't know his birthday exactly." Mikita held

his arm and smiled. Josh felt quite embarrassed talking about his

physical age.

"Don't look at my face, look at my heart," Josh said.

"Yes, right, here's some allowance."

Josh and Mikita's eyes lit up when Melissa reached her pocket.

Josh had traded all of their money with the system, so they are poor.

Josh and Mikita held the green papers.

"50.000 berries." There was a deep frown on Josh and Mikita's faces.

From spending millions of berries to this.

'My poor life.' Sighed Josh.

"I'm not your mommy." Melissa rolled her eyes on them when she saw

Josh sighing.

Josh looked at her. "You can adopt me. If you like Kinky stuff, I will call

you mommy, right Mikita," said Josh, greedy.

Mikita rolled her eyes. "Stop, please, she is old enough to be my mom."

"Hey!" Melissa took a step back, blushing from embarrassment.

Meanwhile, while the group was touring the market to buy few things,

they went to a clothes shop.

Josh bought a cheap shirt for 7000 Berries, and some food for himself.

Mikita spent the rest of it on buying fragrance and trying it with a

disgusted expression, muttering, "Cheap perfume."

Meanwhile, the other agents were buying luxurious staff that worthed

millions of berries.

"Damn, she bought that necklace." Frustrated, Mikita pointed at Mellisa.

"It's 5 million berries!"

Josh shrugged his shoulders. "Her money, her choice. Poor people like us

can't complain about the system."

"But still." Mikita clenched her teeth, "she should at least give us face."

"Excuse me." Josh turned and looked at her face, a question mark drawn

on his face. He shook his head and then walked away, murmuring.

'Women.'

-x-X-x-

Miss Golden Week was currently sitting in the mall, drawing and thinking

about a certain person who had been in their organisation.

But as it seems, he had made a mistake, a mistake that had cost him his

life. The Boss, Crocodile, has found out about him betraying them.

Not many days ago, Josh's meeting with the king and taking the money

had been known.

'Well, he shouldn't have said I'm a little child. Karma, bitch…'

Marianne snorted in herself as she looked around.

Everyone was huge compared to her, even normal people.

Some woman apologised for almost stepping on her, which made

Marianne boil in rage.

But, because of her personality, she always gives a bland expression and

let the woman go.

An image of Josh calling her a dwarf appeared in her head.

She shook her head. Josh was still a nice guy, though. But too bad he had

to die at a very young age.

She bought some colours and paper since her hobby is drawing.

Soon, she noticed familiar figures passing by.

One of them was a person who was reported to die one day ago.

"Mikita?" Marianne quickly used a near shelf and hide behind it.

because of her small built compared to everyone else in this world, she

was able to hide perfectly behind a small shelf.

'What is she doing here, why is she alive. I thought Mr five took care of

them.'

She soon turned her head, to see Mr Five's partner shopping around.

Melissa exchanged few words with Mikita, chatting and laughing, before

moving out of the store.

'Could it be that she survived?'

As she was drifting in her thoughts, she noticed that Josh walked past

her.

Josh slowly turned his head and then scratched his hair.

Marianne was behind another shelf, her hand on her mouth, holding her

breath deeply.

Her eye moved to the side, her heart beating loudly in fear that Josh has

seen her

she thought he had seen her since he was looking in her direction.

But soon, Josh picked up another thing.

"Noodles for dinner." He muttered before he walked out of the store,

calling Mikita and the green-haired woman to leave after they paid the

bill.

'I must call Galdino.'

Marianne may be a little girl that others may think of her as a loli. But

she has the brain of an adult.

If there is something to do, it would be to call the boss. Josh, although

she had a quite good impression on him, she is still afraid of Mr 0 more.

The little 16 years old girl made her decision as she started sneaking

between the legs of the people, making her way out to a near hotel, and

calling her partner, who was selling wax-made statues.

When Mr. 3 saw her, he blinked twice, as she was telling him about what

she had seen.

"Well. Who has thought that Ms Liberty betrayed us as well? Did you see

Mr 5?"

"Yes."

"So, this means he can be included. Well, let's call the boss anyway."

Mr. 3's hair, which makes three shapes, lit up on fire like a candle.

As he went to the beach, he noticed that Josh's ship has left.

To him, this meant that it is time to go and follow them up.

Mr 3 called Crocodile and waited for his boss's order, as he took a sneaky

way to Alabasta, assuming that it would be Josh's direction.

Chapter 35: Chapter 35

The ships landed on one seaport that belongs to one of the islands that

were near to the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Josh and his group descend. Josh looked around him. With the bomb

man and gasoline woman, he has better chances in his epic quest against

Crocodile.

Gem was still playing with his nose, which had been quite annoying for

Josh.

Melissa stretched her arms as she changed to a new pair of clothes, blue

shorts and a short T-shirt with a slit on the chest area.

Meanwhile, Mikita wore a short dress, a very short one. Although

sleeveless, she wore a blue jacket above it.

Gem, on the other hand, was still wearing a long black coat, opened, with

a brown shirt and black pants.

The desert was hot and one needed clothes to protect him from the sun.

It's nothing like your beach where you can strip.

It's always wiser to wear long clothes to protect yourself from the shining

sun and slipping sand.

"Back to the desert again." Josh looked in front of him, the heat of the

sun hitting him on the face. It wasn't Alabasta, but it had similar weather.

"I'm not affected by this." Gem said.

"Weird. You have to be careful of me." Melissa said, some liquid dancing

around her body. "If the heat is too much, I would be on fire, everything

around would be burned."

"But not you," Josh asked.

"I don't know. Never came to my mind to try it. " Said Melissa, showing

that she isn't crazy to test that.

"Whatever. Let's move and discuss the plan."

Gem jumped off his feet and landed on the ground, looking around and

asking Josh about his plan what to do.

The first part was to find a hotel and rest there. Gem wasn't surprised

that he has to pay the fees for food and everything.

As they booked their rooms, Josh ate as much as he could, since he

would need the nutrients to use his Healing Factor constitution.

After eating, Josh said the plan.

They will annoy Crocodile until he is out personally. Then Josh would

deal with him, according to plan which he wouldn't share with them

now.

Melissa called Josh crazy. But given the nature of his girlfriend, who is

sadistic when it comes to fighting, she felt her words were meaningless.

Only a crazier man dates a crazy woman.

Josh asked Mikita to go outside and scout from the sky, to see if anyone

was near.

Although Josh didn't see anyone following them, it doesn't mean he

would lower his guard.

Mikita, with no hesitation, kissed Josh on the lips, before floating out of

the window, using her umbrella.

"Eww…" Gem rolled his eyes, while Melisa laughed.

In any case, Josh said. "The kiss was good, and your opinion doesn't

matter."

"Who talked to you." Gem snorted.

"Well. You think it's good. Probably you didn't kiss someone else." Melissa

said, winking at Josh, who raised his eyebrows at her.

"Who knows."

"Seems that her punch didn't teach you a lesson." When Gem said that,

Melissa took a step back and put her hand on her chest.

Mikita had punched her, two days ago, with enough strength that made

her fly across the island and almost killed her.

"No need to mention that, I was testing the leader here if he is loyal." The

woman blushed as she took her head back.

Josh leaned back and lifted his head. This type of woman wasn't rare

back in his world. They would bang their friend's guy and then tell their

friend that they were testing their boyfriend, while all they wanted

actually was the D.

'I hate my internship period.' Josh frowned a bit and sighed.

Gem and Melissa gave him a specious look, which Josh avoided by

looking at the side, over the window.

Josh's heart almost jumped out of its place when he saw Mikita floating

next to the window, an ugly expression on her face.

Josh thought that she heard everything. 'I must explain that it's a joke.'

No one wants a crazy battle maniac blonde, who is sadistic to the

enemies, to misunderstand when she hears another woman asking her

boyfriend for a kiss.

"Crisis!" She yelled. "Galdino and Marianne are waiting for us on the

beach, making a trap. Our cover was blown."

Josh put a hand on his heart. "Good. Thank god." He sighed in relief as he

knew the real reason behind her frown.

"What! What do you mean by good? We have been found out, and they

are planning to attack us." Mikita landed on his thigh and grabbed his

shirt, trying to snap him out of his thoughts.

"I know. Easy. I sent to scout for a reason, remember." Josh stood up

suddenly, "Now tell me, did they see you."

"No…" Mikita shook her head. "I was floating from a real high distance."

Josh looked at Gem.

Galdino and Marianne are waiting for them, meaning the Baroque Works

know they are alive.

Gem shrugged his shoulders. "You were there when I made my report,

and then you threw my DenDenMushi."

Gem obviously made a false report. "Meaning, I'm fucked up as well. Boss

knows about my betrayal now."

"True." Josh nodded. "Mikita. Explain what they are doing."

Explaining what she had seen when she had been floating, Mikita told

Josh about Galdino, who is preparing for an ambush for them on their

way.

It was needless to say that Baroque Works now knows about Gem and

Melissa's betrayal.

"Honey, I don't know what to do if it were not for you," Josh said as he

grabbed her hand. 'Probably having another pattern plan.'

Mikita only smiled at him and nodded, blushing when she felt how strong

he was grabbing her hand.

"Let's just fuck them up on the way," Mikita said, excitedly.

"Alright."

-x-X-x-

On their way to Alabasta, Josh changed the sail of his ship to a near

small island he had seen on his way after he chose another beach.

It was a very small island. Josh did that so he wouldn't fall for all of the

traps Galdino, Aka Mr 3, had prepared.

As it seems, Galdino didn't stop here to attack them on the sea.

It was expected since no Devil Fruit user is crazy enough to fight in the

sea, especially people who are with Josh, who has the ability to blow up

your ship away and burn it.

"Explain to me again, how does your ability work."

"I can produce gasoline from each part of my body. My breath also can be

one. And, anything I touch would be covered by it." Melissa said as she

opened her hand, a small amount of gasoline fills the air above her.

"And it usually assists my power." Gem said, unleashing a small explosion

with his breath, making a bigger explosion happen when it met with the

gasoline that was floating in the air.

"I see. Alright guys, let's rest!" Josh said loudly, enough for anyone in this

calm see to hear him.

And then, quietly, in a voice that no one can hear but them, he

whispered. "And do it according to the plan."

Josh is aware of how smart Mr. 3, and how much he depends on

strategies more than fighting capabilities. Josh had a drink with Galdino

and Marianne once. So, Josh was aware of that fact more than anyone.

Remembering that night in the bar with Daze Bonez, Zala, Galdino and

Marianne, Josh had a small smile on his face.

"Nothing is personal. We are all professional."

Josh sat down, with others preparing for a small camp while waiting for

the man, who was watching in the shadow to make his move.

On the ground, not so away from them, a shadow appeared on the

ground.

It was a shadow of a man. Above him, a shadow of number three

appeared.

"Let's start." Said the shadow as he started moving.

Chapter 36: Chapter 36

"Well, my old friend, we meet again," Galdino said with a quite low

voice, looking at Josh, who went away from everyone to take a piss.

"Galdino, long time no see, my friend."

Josh faked a smile as he pulled his pants up.

Who would expect that his enemy, or previous workmate, strike when

Josh is about to take a piss.

Josh himself expected. No water had gone down his member in fact.

"I heard that you were dead." Mr. 3's hair lit up like a candle with the tip

being on fire. "You surely have balls of dare to betray boss. You are lucky

that you met me and not him. Death in your sleep is way better than

facing him."

Just by looking at the sweat drop on his face, one can tell that Galdino

was really afraid of Crocodile that he couldn't help but to wish to have

half of Josh's courage.

Josh grinned, looking at Galdino. "By the way, where is Marianne, that

little girl?"

"Well, we are preparing to take over the others, she is drawing something

for them."

Galdino patted his glasses. He was strategic. He knows that he can't take

them face to face, especially knowing the other's strengths and especially

their weaknesses.

Josh here has his speed and brain. Galdino was aware of that, so he

decided to take him out first.

Mr. 5 and his partner can be taken out easily by him and his partner.

There is a reason why he is Mr 3 while the others were Mr. 5 and above.

Josh was now trapped in wax.

Yes, the only reason that Josh isn't attacking him, for now, is that his feet

are sunk in white solid wax.

Galdino smiled.

"And here I was wondering where that little girl was. I bought her some

candies, and milk, so she may grow up in the future."

Josh said with a low tone. Vivi was younger than Marianne, yet Vivi's

body shape was astonishing, while Marianne was a flat short girl that

some would mistake her as a child.

"I'm not little, you little!" came a feminine voice from the side.

Josh only smirked when Marianne revealed herself out of the tree,

snorting at him.

"It's okay, size doesn't matter. Only in bed though." Josh said, shrugging

his shoulders, making Marianne look at her chest before snorting in him.

Josh added, "No offence."

Galdino, who had a smirk on his face, smelled something fishy.

Josh was a tricky person who stabs from behind and pretend to be dead,

Galdino knew.

Josh didn't look worried, instead, he seemed to be stalling them.

"This smell. Gasoline." Galdino only noticed now. "Marianne, stand

away!"

Galdino yelled, losing his calm appearance as white wax wrapped his

arms.

He aimed them at Josh, who smirked and close his eyes, intending to sink

him in wax.

"This will be painful."

Josh muttered as he felt small wind passing by him.

Mr three wouldn't know what hit him.

*BOOM*

Before the wax could reach Josh, a big explosion happened beneath

Galdino, sending him flying up.

After the explosion occurred, another thing happened. The gasoline that

was spread across the area lit up and blown up, creating a huge explosive

fire, which made the wax melt.

Against such a heat, Mr 3's defences are useless. Mr 3, because of the

explosion and the fire, was sent flying up and fell down.

Marianne closed her eyes and extended her hand forward, afraid to fly...

Josh extended his hand and held the girl from flying by holding her

hand.

"Don't worry, I don't hit children," Josh smirked at the little girl.

-x-X-x-

When Marianne opened her eyes, Josh had jumped up to the sky,

meeting with Galdino, kicking him on the face and sending him to the

ground, away from the fire.

"What are you doing!" Marianne noticed that Josh was holding her like a

little girl as he landed on his feet. Her ass was sitting on his arm.

She couldn't help but yell and blushing at the same time; yet, her tone

was so quiet to be called yelling.

"Giving you a choice." Josh turned to Marianne, who he still believe is a

little girl.

"What choice."

"Listen, This is a talk for an adult. Now, behave like a little good girl."

Upon hearing her questions, Josh put his hands on her ribs and lifted her

up, before giving her a kiss on the cheek.

When he put it on the ground, Marianne's face turned completely red.

She ran quickly and hide behind Mr 3's falling body.

"You… how dare you!" She pointed at him.

But as soon as they made eye contact, she turned her face and gave him

her back, her hands on her red cheek. 'It's the first time an adult kiss my

cheek,' she thought in herself, before remembering the mission. Quickly,

she helped Galdino to sit up.

Galdino was in a bad state. His face was blue and red, and his head's

bones seemed to be cracked.

Although Josh was number seven, he seemed to be way stronger than Mr

3, which didn't make sense for Marianne.

"Cough… Cough… what do you want." Coughing, Galdino looked at Josh

with an opened eye.

Josh smirked. "I will give you a chance, either to die or live. The choice is

up to you." Josh said simply.

Mr. 3 and his partner along with Mikita appeared behind Josh.

Galdino started sweating."What do I have to do."

Josh smirked. "I knew that you are a smart man."

-x-X-x-

"Yes, boss, we have defeated them. They are dead, each one of them is

wrapped in wax."

"Finally. That Josh is really a cockroach. I killed him once, and he

appeared to be alive with Mr Five and Ms Liberty. Traitor's only place is

grave, don't you agree Mr. 3"

Galdino looked in front of him after hearing Crocodile's voice.

The people he had reported that he killed were all alive standing in front

of him.

Although Crocodile is scary, the one that can kill him now is Josh.

Galdino found it is best to leave after making this false report, and live

somewhere as a bounty hunter in one of the four seas — he had heard

that pirates there aren't very strong anyway.

"Yes, boss. However, their tomb is made of wax, solid one, so I can't bring

their bodies."

"Good. Come back to Alabasta. You shall meet with Mr 4 and Mr 2 on

your way. Because Josh had warned the king about us, we have to take

our measurement early."

"Which are."

"Which you will find about when you come to Alabasta."

When Galdino was done from the report, one can say that he was holding

his piss.

Josh, crossing his arms, nodded.

[Ding, a mini-boss is defeated.

After making a false report to Crocodile, Josh let Galdino and Marianne

free.

"Now, I can leave you on the benefit of our previous partnership."

"Kyahahaha. You are lucky that Josh doesn't like sex after killing."

Gem rubbed his nose. Melissa felt curious about something, and she

turned to Josh, asking him.

"Josh. Why don't you ask them to join us." Could it be possibly because

Marianne looks like a loli?

When Josh looked at her, Melisa continued. "I mean, aren't you planning

to include them in the plan."

"I'm not. Galdino is too smart for his own good. He is shaking in fear

from Mr 0's name alone. The moment he would have to chose aside, he

would betray us." Josh said.

It's better not to choose a loser. Josh shrugged his shoulders and said. "In

any case, Galdino is fully aware that the moment he goes back to the

boss, the latter would kill him with no mercy, isn't that right, Galdino."

Melissa saw Galdino lowering his head and sighing. "You are right. I'm

now planning to leave and sail somewhere else, where new agents won't

hunt me. Good luck on your quest though. I'll pray for you to live good in

your afterlife."

Galdino reached his hair, took a knife from his pocket, and catted his hair

tie that made the number 3 shape, making now an official non agent.

"Mr. 3" Marianna opened her mouth and put her hands in front of it.

When Galdino expected sympathy, Marianne, along with everyone else

started laughing at his misfortune.

"Hahahahaha… You are mister minus three now." Chuckling, Marianne

swept a tear from her eye.

"You look funny, no offence," Josh said. Melissa leaned her arm against

Josh and started laughing with tears streaming down.

"Hey, your tears better not be Gasoline."

"Shut up." She continued laughing and punched his shoulder at his silly

remark, which was almost true if she wanted to.

"Now, guys, Adios. We are on our way to Alabasta."

"But hey. What guarantee that we don't get stabbed in the back." Gem

said.

Josh looked at Marianne and Galdino, asking them for their ship's

location. After getting that information, he burned their ships, without

the need for oil, since he has an infinite source on his side.

"How can we leave now!" Marianne exclaimed seeing their ship burned,

eyes widely opened.

Josh smiled at her and said. "Mr. 3 can use his Devil Fruit ability to make

a ship, can't he."

"I'll be hungry, take me with you. I can be helpful." This time, the little

girl was more polite and afraid toward Josh, as she pulled his pants.

"But Galdino would be alone."

Josh shook his head. Although Marianne looked cute, she still can betray

him if she was given the chance.

However, she was smarter than her partner.

In the canon of One Piece, after Mr 3's defeat, Marianne didn't go with

Galdino to report to Crocodile.

"Whatever. In any case, I left you enough in this bucket of gasoline to

warm yourself." Melissa came and placed a bucket full of gasoline next to

Galdino. "Also, there are fruits around, collect what is enough for you to

eat."

"Thank you." Galdino hugged his legs and looked at his partner, who

quickly looked to Josh.

"Pleaseee! Have mercy on a little woman. I can be helpful. My art can

make you relax, and it assists your fighting style." Marianne took her hat

off and put it in front of her chest, opening her big blue eyes toward

Josh. "Besides, Boss knows that I betrayed him. I can't backstab you even

if I wanted."

After thinking for a brief, Josh nodded. "You can. Now, let's move away."

-x-X-x-

"We have finally arrived," Josh said, looking at the desert in their way.

"Mm… boss," Marianne said. She was sitting next to Mikita while having

a paper that she was drawing.

"Just call me Josh."

Josh looked behind him. Three women, and one guy. His current crew to

take Crocodile down.

Although the system gave Josh a bet that he should take Crocodile down,

it didn't make Josh unable to use the fallen pawns from Crocodile.

Now, Marianne can be useful, just like everyone else.

However, there was one problem.

Josh needed privacy, and Marianne was staying in his ship, and he didn't

want a little woman, who looks like a little girl, to hear loud moans.

Josh and Mikita looked at each other. From the slow way they were

breathing, it's easy to say that they were horny.

After landing on Alabasta's nearest seaport, Josh and the others sat down.

Luckily to them, next to the sea here, there was a town, which had water,

which was at a higher price compared to other places.

"Stay around me." Mikita put her hand on Marianne's shoulder and put

her head on her chest.

"Why are you bothering me," Marianne said, bothered by her head on

Mikita's chest.

"Come on. You are no longer bothering Josh on his comment about your

childish size. What are your intentions." Mikita asked with a calm tone as

she smiled at Josh, who just smiled and turned his head, walking

forward.

Marianne turned her face. "I'm just done. I gave up hope on him."

However, the real reason was what had happened last night, as Josh had

lifted her from her ribs and kissed her on the cheek, before letting her

down.

"Why are your cheeks red then."

"Makeup. I messed up with the blush."

"Hmmm." Mikita let her head go away from her breasts.

"Whatever," Marianne said. "Remember. We can possibly clash with Mr.

4. He is way stronger than Mr 3 if you don't know"

After talking a bit, they stopped to eat. Josh had amazed everyone by his

current appetite, as he was devouring everything.

"You pay." Once Josh was done, he made Gem pay, using the excuse that

Gem made him lose his appetite by playing with his nose. Gem could

only frown, say fuck off, and leave the restaurant.

"I have no money." Josh looked around, to Melissa, who was about to

sigh in hopelessness. It was quite awkward. Before Melissa could grab her

wallet, Marianne lifted her hand and said, "I will pay!"

"You sure. I don't want you to spend your money." Josh said.

"Don't worry about me. I just want to prove my use." Marianne smiled at

Josh gently.

Josh felt quite guilty. He put his hand on her head and rubbed it, saying.

"I will pay you back later."

"Whatever. Let's just focus. We have a mission waiting for us." Marianne

said.

"Yes." Josh nodded.

Before leaving last night, Josh had made sure that he would get the

location of Mr. 4 and his partner.

Sometimes, it is best to attack first.

"We will head out after we recuperate from travelling," Josh said,

stretching his arms and standing up.

"Why? Are you tired from the sea? You can smell my gasoline. It helps

you to wake up." Melissa offered Josh to sniff her hand, which made

Marianne glare at her.

"Depending on from where I can smell it," Josh said, winking

unconsciously as he looked around.

"Hahaha. Mikita, your boy is smooth."

"Only now you found out." Rolling her eyes, Mikita approved the green-

haired girl's opinion, before looking at the little girl who was paying the

bill.

Noticing that Mikita didn't take an action to choke him on the flirt-line

he had just made, Josh shrugged his shoulder and left through the door,

seeing Gem leaning on the wall and smoking a cigarette.

"When Are we going?" Gem asked.

"A few moments later. Let's take a nap in the hotel. We need to rest."

"Hotel... You are the last person who needs rest." Gem commented. He

had fought Josh, and believe him when he says, Josh doesn't get tired

even after facing Gem's best explosion.

Obviously, Gem commented. "You just want some sex… Just say that and

do it behind the building."

"I'm not uncultured swan-like you." Josh didn't deny it. "Mr 4 won't be at

the meeting location that he is supposed to meet with Mr 3 until few

hours later.

"We will move in two hours when the heat get less."

Josh shook his head.

Chapter 38: Chapter 38

In the desert of Alabasta, next to a small town, there was a tavern where

travellers buy water and drinks, before continuing their journey in this

merciless place.

Mr. 4 and his partner, who happened to be a very short old woman, left a

near tavern and started walking.

"Who would ever think that new Mr. 7 and Ms Valentine dead only after

the second attack and that Mr 5 and his partner were scheming with

them all along. Luckily, we were aware of them. Or lucky for them, the

boss didn't go out to deal with them personally."

"Ah…"

Mr 4 was a slow person... While walking, there was a huge bazooka on

his back and a very heavy bat.

People may feel pity for the big fat blonde guy. But as soon as they find

out that the bat he is holding weighs 4 tons, and that Mr 4 can play with

it easily like it is nothing, they would believe that he is a scary person.

4 tons were nothing to him, which mean that his strength is far beyond

that, considering that he can play with it with ease.

When his partner looked at him, Mr 4 finally got it and nodded. "He is

annoying. But is he is dead?"

"That's for sure. Although Mr 3 is weaker than you, he is smarter than us.

We need to prove ourselves."

Mr 4 was stronger than Mr 3.

"Ah. What did you say?"

That was too many words for Mr 3, who turned to his partner.

"Don't worry big boy, all you have to worry about is fighting." His

partner, Miss Merry Christmas said as she lowered her head.

When the two of them continued walking, they didn't seem to be

bothered by the hot weather.

As soon as they reached the edges of a town, where many people weren't

presented, the woman smelt something fishy.

"Someone has a perfume, a cheap one. This doesn't smell good.." She was

a Zoan eater, who has a mole ability, which gave her a stronger sense of

people. "Mr 4, be ready for any possible fight."

"You are quite right. Kyahahaha…"

Mikita appeared in the sky, floating above Mr 4 and Ms Merry Christmas.

It was a surprise for the older smarter woman to see a dead agent alive

again.

Quickly, she turned to her slow partner and gave him an order.

"Mr 4. Your bat, quickly."

Mr. 4 was quick, following her voice. He didn't use his mind, but hers.

Quickly, he took his bat and took a striking stance.

Mikita started descending as she increased her weight.

When she was about to hit Mr. 4 with her legs, Mr 4 waved so the bat so

quickly.

Mikita quickly decreased her weight to half a kilo, putting her legs on the

bat, and flying back with the momentum before flipping landing on her

feet.

"Ouch, that almost broke my heels." She swept on her forehead. Luckily,

her light weight allowed her to fly with the wind before the strike itself

touch her.

"Ms Valentine, it's a surprise that you are alive. How did you manage to

escape? "

"Fuck you."

"What did you say."

"Why a fat, ugly, bitch whose men would die before approach…"

Mikita then started mocking Ms Mary Christmas, saying that she is fat

and ugly.

That didn't pass well as Ms M.C turned into a hybrid form of a mole and

human.

Her red afro hair was still the same, however, her skin became brown,

thick, and long claws grew out of her hand.

Mary Christmas sank into the ground and moved in great speed toward

Mikita, who jumped up to the sky. "

Where are you going." The mole woman appeared from the sand, flying

up to Mikita, with her clams aimed at the blonde woman.

"That it was a trap. Kyahahaha. Didn't you smell something fishy?"

While in the air, Mikita opened her umbrella and lifted her foot. Ms

Marry Christmas smelled something like oil.

It came from the ground.

Before Ms Mary could realise what is going on, Mikita twisted her body

in a way that transfers her weight to her leg and kicked the mole woman

on the forehead, increasing her weight at the moment of striking.

The mole woman found herself getting hit by a very heavy leg, heavier

than her.

However, she won't fall just like that. Mary Christmas waved her claws,

intending to cut Mikita, but from nowhere, a small mucus ball flew

toward her and exploded in her face, sending her to the ground.

Mikita, who decreased her weight quickly, floated up with the explosion,

unharmed.

"Mr 4. Fight them!"

Ms M.C yelled as she flew to the ground, her body on fire. When her

body met with the sand, the area around her was on fire as if burning

matter lit up. It caused a larger explosion and large fire range that the

female agent had to face.

She looked to the side, burned, to Mr 5 and Ms Liberty who were

standing on the side.

As she was screaming from the pain of a burn, she knew that the two

were the reason.

She didn't blame them for their strategy, as it was the best way to face

someone like her.

Struggling to save her own life, Mary Christmas gathered all of her

willpower and got out of the fire zone, breathing heavily and landing on

the ground, breathing heavily before losing consciousness.

"Josh is really smart," Melissa commented as she pushed her green hair to

the side, before looking at the blond big guy.

"However, he overestimates his foes." Mr 5 smirked as he sent an

explosive charge from his nose toward Mr 4.

But as it exploded in front of his face, Mr 4 emerged out of the explosion,

as fine as he could be.

The 213 cm tall guy looked at his female partner, a sad expression on his

face.

"You will pay for what you have done to her." He held his bat and looked

at the group.

He was looking at the three as if the explosions didn't mean anything.

While Mr 4 was playing with his bat, Mr 5 sent many mucus bombs

toward him, yet they weren't enough for Mr 4, who was so strong enough

to handle each explosion.

Mr 4 let an angry scream as he lifted his bat and slammed on the ground,

sending a very strong shockwave with his 4 tons bat plus his original

strength.

The ground shook beneath Gem and Melissa, who struggled to stay on

their feet.

Quickly, Melisa started breathing, spreading cloud-like of gasoline out of

her mouth, which landed on Mr 4 like fragrance.

As Mr 5 was about to shoot at him and blow him up, Mr 4 threw his bat

to the side, twisting its direction, spinning in the air and almost took the

head of Melissa and Gem. Mikita managed to escape by jumping high and

floating.

Melissa and Gem managed to dodge. The bat continued spinning in the

air, before going back to Mr 4's hands, who hand it like it was nothing.

"I thought he is slow!" yelled Gem, sweat dripping from his head when he

looked at the angry Mr 4.

Mr 4 said, showing a new serious side of himself.

"If I showed a serious face, Mr. 0 won't let me have so many holidays like

I'm doing, idiots…. But since you hurt my partner, you shall pay. The

woman has always been nice to me."

Mr 4 then gave them a shit-eating grin, which told them they are dead.

As he was about to move and end their career, a voice came from another

direction.

"I'm your opponent."

A young brown-haired man appeared sitting under a rock, protecting

himself from the sun rays.

He stood up when his eyes met with Mr. 4 and he smirked.

Chapter 39: Chapter 39

Looking at Mr 4 who held his metallic bat, Josh smirked and extended

his hand toward Mr 5 and Melissa, telling them not to interfere.

Josh wanted to fight Mr 4 on his own, in order to gain his reward. To his

surprise, Mr 4 had appeared to be smarter and not mentally slow. What a

twist. After Ms M.C has passed out, Mr 4 showed a new level of

intelligence — average level.

This is going to be a fight between the few non-devil fruit users agents in

Baroque works.

'Is this canon?'

Josh wondered while looking at the blonde fat man, who was about to

reach the bazooka with his hands.

Josh quickly used Shave to appeared in front of him, before clenching his

fist, taking a low stance and punching forward.

Mr 4 could barely see Josh moving, however, he could at least see when

Josh appeared.

When Josh punched him on the guts, Mr 4 glided back a little.

However, because he was fat, and was very strong physically, Mr 4 could

regain his posture as his belly's fats absorbed some of the shocks.

When Josh lifted his hand, Mr 4 lifted his bat with one hand and

slammed down with an amazing speed.

With the bat and the strength of Mr 4, Josh is doomed to become meat

pasta if he got hit.

Standing up slightly and taking a new posture with his left leg forward a

bit, Josh extended his hands forward.

The bat stopped moving forward as Josh held Mr 4's wrists and jumped

up, before putting his right foot on Mr 4's chest, his other leg moving

next to Mr 4's face as Josh adjusted his position in the air.

Josh kicked Mr 4 in the face, before twisting their bodies and throwing

Mr 4 flipping and flying to the ground.

Mr 4 rolled on the ground many times before he managed to stop and

stand.

If one looked carefully at his face, they would notice some bruises, one is

caused by Josh's kick, and the other one had been caused by flipping on

the 4 tons hard bat.

"Damn you." Mr 4 yelled and lifted his fist, depending on his magnificent

strength. As he punched, Josh could quickly react by flipping on the

ground and extending his legs, which met with Mr 4's feet, making Mr 4

fall. Josh put his hands on the ground and flipped up, before giving Mr 4

a strong punch on the back.

"He knows Judo as well." Mr 5 pointed to Josh. Mikita only nodded.

"I thought he is more Kung Fu guy."

"He is good, still." Melissa lifted his shirt and started flipping it, cheering

up for Josh while revealing her E cup tits in her green bras.

The battle continued between Josh and the big fatty who had a babyface.

Josh was depending on the techniques to attack and control the battle

against brute strength.

Mr 4 was getting more damage, and thus, he was getting weaker and

weaker.

With his nose bleeding, Mr 4's eyelids vanished as he screamed and

punched toward Josh.

Josh punched forward as well while tilting his head to the side, allowing

the big fist to pass by his face. Mr 4 wasn't lucky to dodge, and got a very

strong punch on the face, sinking deeply there.

Flying away, Mr 4 rolled on the ground many times before falling.

Josh was ready to jump at him. However, Mr 4 was unable to move now,

as he had lost consciousness. Josh swept the sweat from his forehead.

Not only Mr 4 was strong and tough to beat, but the heat also played a

role in beating him.

If the weather was colder, Josh would have more advantages.

Josh remembered that there was a girl cheering with her shirt off her

body. He wanted to look at her boobs bouncing when she had been

turning her shirt, but he hadn't allowed himself to get distracted from the

battle, as Mr 4 had taken all of his focus.

However, as soon as Josh turned with that smile on his face, Gem's limp

body flew past him.

"What is happening."

Melissa, who was thirty meters away from him, was unleashing her

gasoline on a very tall lean figure who seemed to be dancing ballet.

However, her attempt was useless as the guy lifted his foot and kicked

her on the abandon. He then jumped up, flipped, and was about to land a

kick on her face.

Josh, who quickly used Shave, crossed the distance in slightly less than a

second.

Without stopping his momentum, Josh gave a roundhouse kick, which

made his foot clash with the other man's leg, sending the two of them

flying away from each other with a strong shockwave between them.

"Are you okay?" Josh backflipped and landed with his feet next to

Melissa, before bending

"You…" Mikita, who was floating with her umbrella, stared and was

about to attack the new mysterious enemy.

Josh looked at the side, before looking at the man in front of him.

Mr 2.

This one was one of the strongest agents in the Baroque Works.

Josh found that he has to call for some help. Not to beat the guy, but to

punish him, for making the hot almost topless woman in front of him.

What kind of persons would do that to a woman: A true believer in

gender equality or a homosexual.

Funny thing, looking at the man in front of him, who was wearing

makeup, lipstick and exposing his long hairy legs, it was needless to say

it.

"Marianne," Josh called.

No one knows. Behind some rock, not so far from here, Marianne was

sitting on the shadow, drinking her tea.

"What a funny deal. I was just done with the delivery mission and was

about to meet Mr 4. As I was practising my Okama (gay) martial arts, I

saw what happened. For sure, you have some nerves to mess with Mr 4.

Such a pretty boy like him make me feel pity for his face to turn blue."

Mr 2 said, his long eyelashes shaking as he was scanning Josh, who

couched.

"The only funny thing would be your face when I'm done with you. It's

already funny."

Josh then suddenly frowned.

Mr 2's sacrificial scene in Impel Down surely made him cry.

Josh, at that time, had thought that he was alone while tearing about the

scene.

However, his little cousin entered without knocking on the door, and she

saw him crying while looking at Mr 2's crying make-up face — needless

to say, what kind of man Mr 2 was.

Josh's little cousin had been spreading rumours to the family that he's

crying over homosexual drama.

Josh had never attended any family meeting after that.

"You will pay for what you have done!" Josh cursed.

"Why are you looking at me like that. Did I make you cry, or destroyed

your life?" Mr 2 said, frowning at Josh's expression.

"No idiot, do you see me tearing. You just hurt my teammates and

wonder why I want to kick you? Do some brain checks". Josh then

suddenly frowned. "Just wait."

Saying that calmly, Josh picked up Melissa over his shoulder and walked

past Gem, who was unconscious, lying on the sand.

He then looked at Gem, shrugging his shoulders, as the guy shouldn't be

affected by explosions. Explosions are hot, so Gem can handle the heat…

he put Melissa under the shadow, and told her to rest, before walking

back to Mr 2.

"Did I take long?"

"This scene of you putting her in the shadow... no, leaving the guy to the

sun, is powerful. You are simp. Why did you let the guy suffer."

"You're calling me simp because women aren't attracted to you," Josh

replied as he started jogging on his place, before taking off his shirt and

taking a fighting stance.

Behind one big rock, in this magnificent desert, stood a little girl.

She had just heard the call of her supposed leader for now, who had

happened to lift her and kiss her on the cheek, like a little girl.

Marianne looked in front of her. There was some tea left to sip. Turning,

behind the rock, she took a sneak peek.

Josh and Mr 2, who was one of the highest agents, were looking at each

other, taking their fighting stances.

Looking up, there Mikita was floating, with her long legs exposed.

Looking at that perfect shape made Marianne bit her lips, before looking

at Melissa, who was lying under the rock with her big boobs exposed.

Josh had carried her like a princess and put her in the shadow. Marianne

could tell that by looking at Gem, who was poorly facing the sun.

She looked at her flat chest and short stature, before looking forward.

Josh looked to be fine.

"Since you treat them nicely. I deserve to be waited for." Muttering, she

gathered her colours and brush, and then, she started completing what

was left of her tea, while taking a look at the first clash between the two.

Josh quickly dashed forward, toward Mr 2, who took a ballet dancer

position.

Although Josh appeared so quickly in front of Mr2, the moment Josh

stopped to punch, Mr 2 danced, which allowed him to dodge an attack

that he couldn't see.

"Got you!" Mr 2 declared as he gave a kicking dance to Josh, who

squatted to dodge, and quickly vanished from the sight, appearing behind

Mr 2.

Without relying on his eyes, dancing, Mr 2 tried to depend on his ballet-

like technique to dodge.

However, Josh seemed already to figure how this technique works.

Instead of punching, he squatted slowly, opened both of his arms, and

held Mr 2's 230 cm tall figure from the back.

At that moment, Mr 2 made an elbow and hit Josh on the face.

Taking that hit that broke his face and nose, Josh didn't leave Mr 2.

Instead, he tightened his grip, jumped slightly, put his leg on Mr 2's back.

Josh flipped back, lifting Mr2 and making him face the ground. And

when his foe was facing the ground, Josh squatted and used his knee to

kick Mr. 2 on the back.

Mr 2 quickly flew to the ground, making a strong impact. Rolling quickly,

Mr 2 jumped and landed on his feet.

"Ouch. That hurt my back, you now." He said toward Josh, bowing.

"However, it's better than a broken face. Do you see well, hahaha..."

Mocked Mr 2.

"To be honest. I felt pain," Said Josh as that The elbow had broken his

face and nose.

The only reason that he hadn't dodged was that he needed a chance to

deliver a blow to Mr 2.

Josh had a healing factor, so he had taken the risk in order to win early.

Josh put his hand on his face and swept the blood.

Mr 2 opened his eyes widely, not believing that Josh's nose stopped

bleeding. No, it's in the right place, and his face looked as fine as the

start.

"Shall we continue? And stop fucking around or I'll stop and spank you

once I'm done." Josh seemed to piss off as he yelled.

Marianne didn't fucking show up.

"What? Although it's tempting, I'm the one who does the other dude."

"I wasn't talking to you!" Josh yelled at Mr 2.

Marianne suddenly snapped back, and her tea fell to the ground.

Feeling fear from the yell Josh produced, she knew he was talking to her.

Imagining that Josh would be spanking her back, she couldn't help but

put her hands on her slightly red cheeks, before starting to sneak to the

battlefield.

"Are you shy, tsundere-Chan?" By the time Mr 2's words left his mouth,

Josh lost his calmness upon understanding the hiding meanings.

"You son of the bitch."

Josh appeared in front of Mr 2 and clenched his fists, punching.

Because of the hit on his back, Mr 2 had lost a huge part of his flexibility

and agility.

Quickly, he paired Josh's fist since he could predict where he would

appear.

Josh, however, was more expert when it comes to fighting. Or rather,

more talented.

Josh took the punch to his chest from Mr 2, and then, he quickly made

claws with his hands, before waving them on the naked chest of the tall

guy, making him jump back.

A couple of wounds appeared on Mr 2's chest. Mr 2 looked at Josh with

an angry expression on his face as he landed on his feet.

Josh, on the other hand, smirked, looking as though he didn't take a

punch at all.

"You will pay for this." Mr 2 cursed, unaware that Marianne had sneaked

behind him, and she was holding her brush.

When Mr 2 was preparing to kick Josh, he suddenly felt a very good

feeling on his back, like that almost all of his pain wasn't there.

"I'm feeling so well." Said Mr 2 as he let a long sigh.

Marianne, behind him, took a step back.

Appearing in her standing, Josh was holding Mr 2's wrist. Quickly, he

jumped and flipped his body along with Mr 2's arm, before delivering a

strong kick on the middle of his arm.

Mr's flew with momentum and held his arm and he landed on the sand

with his face. A green pattern was drawn on his back.

"See, my patterns are really useful."

Marianne, who was holding a brush, said.

Her ability was hypnosis like.

She looked at Josh, expecting to see if she impressed him, which he

didn't show up.

Seeing that he smiled, she didn't overreact, instead, she was more eager

to show her ability.

Mr 2 stood up and yelled, with one arm unbroken, yelling. "I won't give

up." Dashing at them, he jumped up and lifted his foot. Marianne quickly

put her brush on the red colour, and, so swiftly, she drew a red pattern

on the ground.

Mr 2, who had been aiming for Josh, kicked the red pattern instead.

"Huh?" confusion was drawn on his face. But before he could realise that

it was the colour's effect on his mind, Josh appeared in front of him and

delivered a punch on his jaw.

As Mr 2 flew up few centimetres from the air, Josh found his chance, and

he started punching.

Mr 2, since his mind went blank for a second, was getting beaten non-

stop by Josh's punches without having the ability to punch back.

Josh, who was practising Kung Fu, was yelling.

"Atatatata... Wata."

Each yell matched the rhythm of his punch.

When Josh felt that Mr 2 was out of breath, he put his fist next to his

own hip, bowed slightly, and aimed forward with his other hand. When

Mr 2 fell down, Josh's fist vanished and appeared on Mr 2's stomach.

Mr 2 flew back, blood spatting out of his mouth. Flipping on the ground,

Mr 2 landed. When he tried to stand up, his legs betrayed him, and he

could only murmurer. "Impossible," before falling down unconscious.

"That was amazing."

Marianne cheered up and jumped, before looking at Josh's naked abs.

Josh, on the other hand, was exhaling and cracking his bones, as he

stretched his arms down.

"No need to show off," Marianne said. "You already finished him."

Josh, after a deep exhale, lifted his head. "What do you understand about

traditions."

"Humph." Marianne turned her head and harrumphed. But suddenly, she

felt his hand on her head. She turned to see him smiling. "Good job." He

then lifted his head. "Good job not interfering."

However, Mikita wasn't there. When Josh turned his head, he felt the

ground shaking.

Mikita was standing above a deep hole, which was placed in Mr 2's

original resting position.

"Just wanted to make to finish up the job. Kyahahaha. But he kept rolling

each time he falls." Mikita made a crazy laugh, leaving Mr 2 buried

deeply in the sand.

Josh just laughed, a drop of sweat running through his forehead.

"Babe, control your sadistic side."

"Why?" Mikita raised her eyebrows.

"I don't want my bed to break."

"Now, you gave me naughty ideas." Mikita put her hand next to her

mouth and smiled. "Kyahahaha…"

Marianne turned and spat on the ground, before picking up her brush and

walking away.

"Are you going to help me or are you gonna fuck with each other." Gem

said as he lifted his head slightly, staring at the two flirting.

"Fuck." Josh said as he gave him a small glance

"Let them enjoy their time, they earned it," Melissa said, almost taking

her bra and waving at them. But she was too lazy to move that she let

her hand rest on her chest.

"Yeah. You are lying under the shadow. I bet you like it.." Gem clicked

his tongue. "I'm the one who is on the sand. No one gives a fuck about

me."

"You only get it now?" Melissa said, not denying it.

After that, Josh helped the rest of them to stand up. Luckily for the two,

Mr 2 hadn't kicked them so well.

After getting dressed, they went back inside of the two, ordering drinks

and buying new clothes.

"Why do I always have to pay," Melissa said, looking at Josh, who picked

up a new shirt.

"I'll payback," frowned Josh.

"I can pay. You don't have to pay back." Marianne said, looking at

Melissa, who frowned back at her. "No one told you to open your mouth,

little kid."

"Hey, I'm no kid, I'm 16."

"Whatever." Josh picked up a new shirt. He won't lose anything no matter

who pays.

Soon, Gem entered the shop, with a snail in his hand. "Josh. From our

personal DenDenMushi, yours was ringing nonstop. I was too curious and

picked up."

"And?" Josh raised his eyebrows.

"Robin wants to talk to you."

Josh, in no time, took the snail from his hand and vanished, appearing on

top of one of the buildings outside, the DenDenMushi in his hand as he

sat on the edge of the roof.

"Yes, Robin Ane-San," Josh said with sarcasm a bit..

"Ahem." Robin faked a cough from the other side.

Robin's eyes were opened wide when she heard that Josh, in a very short

time, defeated Mr 4, Mr 3, and Mr 2.

Josh took down the strongest agents that the Baroque Works has,

meaning that he cut the main suppliers to the organisation.

One must know that these agents are very powerful and they are the ones

who hold the financial wealth of the Baroque Works, besides of

Crocodile's casino.

"You are one crazy young man." Robin, while holding the snail, had one

hand appeared on her shoulder, which started massaging her temple.

"Yes, sis," Josh said. "I knew I was crazy two months ago."

Robin narrowed her eyebrows.

It seems Josh had made that crazy decision about going against Crocodile

two months ago. No, it can't be that. Robin, since she knows what Josh

knows and what his goal is, it's logical to say he had planned for this

many years ago.

After all, to know her real name, her real goal, where she had been, and

why she is with Crocodile, it can't be done within two months.

To Robin, Josh has a little scary hidden side, to be honest. How can

someone just be this scheming and collective?

"Fufufufu… this little brother is really cute." Robin teased a bit, not

telling what she feels.

"Hah~" Josh just sighed.

"Anyway, since the news about you is still alive, Mr 3 would die for his

betrayal now," Robin said.

"Oh no," Josh exclaimed as if he thought about it now. He then calmly

said. "Anyway."

"Fufufufufu…"

"I think it's time, for our plan. You have to do your part now. Can I trust

you with that?"

"Sure, you can do trust me. We have the same purpose here."

Robin can understand why Josh may not trust her.

And he has the right.

But since they are trying to achieve the same goal, they can ensure each

other's back.

In any case, Robin has nothing to lose, since she had decided that she

will die after stopping Crocodile from getting the ancient weapon.

Her life never had been good. And she never had something to look for.

"I know I can trust you. Now, do me a little favour, just to draw the

crocodile out."

Josh said, sneering. He seemed to be confident about taking Crocodile

down.

It made Robin wonder about something.

"Althougj the rain powder is ready to be used aren't you tired after

fighting most of the strongest agents in a row…"

"When I have time to rest, I rest," Josh said with quite a low tone. "Just

eating some food and I will be fine."

"What do you do in your resting time, Oni-Chan," Robin said, teasing.

Josh replied with sarcasm. "It's not proper to tell an Ane-San about it."

"Fufufufu…" as if she had been waiting for him to say that, Robin

chuckled.

They changed the conversation tone soon to a more serious one.

Josh and Robin discussed what they would do next.

Nodding her head, Robin had a complete idea about what can happen.

As it seems, Josh doesn't seem confident about taking the last agents, so

he is moving directly toward Crocodile.

Josh knows Crocodile's weakness, but there is non for Mr 1.

"Here's his line."

-x-X-x-

Letting a long sigh while lying on the bed, Josh waved his hand in front

of his face, while looking at the roof.

It was night, and he was lying half-naked with his girlfriend, appreciating

the sense of coldness in this night.

The desert was very cold at this time. However, Mikita provided him

with the heat he needed.

Mikita turned and gave him a look before smiling and saying. "You are

ready now, aren't you."

"Yes." Josh nodded, leaning and kissing her pale breast.

Mikita had a blush running across her body, before saying, excitedly.

"This is going to be funnier than the last time."

The last time; she meant about the time when they had a drink with Mr 1

and Mr 3 with their partners.

Nodding with his head, Josh stood up and put on his pants before

walking down.

No one wanted to buy him a new shirt, not Melissa, and even Marianne

preferred to leave him bare-chested.

Currently, they were in a small hotel, and they headed outside, to the

lobby.

Gem was playing with his nose while having a cigarette in his mouth.

Melissa had a cigar, smoking while lying on the ground.

Marianne was drinking green tea as she seemed to enjoy tea parties.

"Is that lemon tea," Mikita said, looking at Marianne, after sniffing the air

slightly. After Marianne nodded with her head, Mikita sat next to her.

"Alright guys, be silent."

Josh walked to Melissa, who put her hand on her chest, and pulled a

small snail from her boobs.

That snail originally belonged to Mr 2.

It allows one to directly contact Mr 0, Also known as Crocodile between

the high ranked agents.

"This is going to be fun," Mikita whispered and everyone looked at Josh,

who stared at them.

"Be silent." After Josh said these words, the snail started repeating some

sounds.

"Bero Bero."

Soon, the call was picked up.

After a brief silence, the snail started moving its lips.

"Mr 2. Your call was unexpected to be this late. What has taken your

time." Crocodile's voice echoed from the other side.

Josh smirked and scratched his chin, thinking of the best words he should

use to provoke Crocodile.

But how to provoke an arrogant guy who is calm and collective to make

him take things personally.

'Insult his mom.' Josh nodded.

"Your mama is so fat…" Josh said.

Everyone looked in Josh's direction, blinking or eyes widely opened.

"What?" came the confused voice of Crocodile, which shown surprise and

astonishment.

There is no sane, or insane, agent who would talk to Crocodile like that

unless they wish to die.

Josh said words that no one should hear, let alone some warlord.

"Your mama's vagina throw eggs, that's why she named you Crocodile."

Josh continued.

The Cigarette fell from Gem's mouth as he stared at Josh.

Melissa put her cigar to the side and observed.

Crocodile, on the other hand, paused for a brief, obviously noticing that

this isn't Mr 2's voice.

Josh was having a relaxed expression.

"Josh!" Yelled Crocodile.

"Heh? I was about to tell a joke about how your mama is forgetting. But

you will forget about that anyway since you are her son." Josh said

mockingly.

Crocodile doesn't seem to lose his composure from hearing Josh's

mentioning his mom over and over.

"You know, I will take that tongue of yours and shove it in your ass once

I find you." Crocodile took a deep breath before saying. "But before that,

let me ask you."

"What?" Josh waited, raising his eyebrow as he made his way next to

Marianne and pouring a teacup for himself.

While Josh was sipping the tea, Crocodile asked. "Why are you doing

this. What is your motivation for opposing me."

He didn't seem to ask about Mr 2.

It was needless to say that Josh took him down, just like Mr 3, it seems,

who had reported that Josh is dead.

And since Mr 4 was supposed to meet Mr 2, it was needless to say that

his agents, the special ones, from 2 to 5, were taken down.

It was a huge hit to the Baroque Works.

Crocodile was curious and angry to the same degree.

How couldn't he? Josh was targeting his organisation, and Crocodile felt

things slept from his hands.

"Are you doing this for the sake of Justice? Money. Or whatever. We may

be able to reach a deal." Crocodile said. "I may give you a good deal.

Since you could beat my best agents in a very short time. I think you

deserve a second chance. So, tell me, what do you want."

Crocodile was obviously trying to draw Josh by using greed.

"No. I'm doing this for something else."

Josh leaned back, sipped from the tea, and opened the system, looking at

the quest and the juicy rewards.

"What are you doing this for then."

"I'm doing it for the sake of your mama," Josh said. "I'm gonna milk her

dry."

"You fucking dead brat!" Crocodile finally lost his temper and yelled,

making everyone almost jump. "Just wait the moment I find where you

are, I will come personally to kill you."

"Oh no!" Josh yelled with a scared tone, before turning his face and

smirking. "Hey, you. Pour me more tea."

"Pfttt…"

"Hehehehe…."

Giggles came from the background upon seeing Josh's bold action with

the boss.

"Who are you with?" Crocodile asked in a demanding tone.

"You know what. Let's deal. Let's meet, next to the seaport, Rainbase City.

I will come personally for that. My dear boss."

"You have the guts? I must say that I admire your c—"

"Three days later." Josh continued.

"What!" that left Crocodile surprised. "Hey. Do you think I have tim—"

Before Crocodile could complete his words, Josh cut the call and broke

the phone line on the communication snail.

Crocodile must be pissed off now that he got face slapped.

Chapter 42: Chapter 42

Josh was sitting next to the seaport in one of the spots in Alabasta.

Around him, people were coming and leaving. If one examined these

people, however, they looked so rich.

Josh could tell that they hold tens of millions of Berries with them, and

they were heading to one of the richest cities in Alabasta.

That City was rich for one reason; Crocodile is having a casino there, and

his reputation as a Warlord got the curiosity of many of the rich people.

"Thanks, Robin. I'm ready now to move."

Putting the snail back to its place, Josh stood up and adjusted his new hat

- a cap, a black one.

Josh currently was hiding his face as he was moving in the street, toward

an isolated spot in the desert, which should be quite far from the people.

According to what Robin had told Josh, Crocodile had just left the Casino

and now was moving to kill him.

Robin had told Josh not to worry since she had made some group burn

the green powder not so long ago.

While walking forward, Josh looked at the sky, in the hope for the clouds

to start gathering soon.

—— Flash Black ——

Three days ago.

Later that night after that talk, which was to play on the nerves of

Crocodile, Josh was lying down on the bed, with his crazy girlfriend

hugging his body.

This is the time when he is supposed to be lucky — surrounded by

danger and having a stunning beauty hugging his naked body in the hotel

room.

After beating four of the bosses of Crocodile, Josh had gained four

mystery boxes, with + tier 3. (Mr 5, 4, 3 and 2)

Also, he had gained 20 draw points for each one, giving him 80 points in

total.

Josh, for real, is going to do something crazy, which is to bet before the

final battle.

"Joshy…"

Turning his head, Josh saw Mikita hugging his body close to her body,

generating heat enough for them to face the coldness of the night in the

desert.

He turned and kissed her sleeping lips, before deciding to gamble on his

current luck.

The Mystery Boxes started getting opened, giving Josh the next items in

his hand.

[+ Chef cooking talent (Excellent)]

(Can cook very delicious things and learn recipes faster and better by

500% than most of the people)

Josh frowned. Alright, not so bad if he wanted to open a restaurant.

However, he isn't going to open a restaurant.

[+ Healing Pill 65% (Excellent)]

[+ Ability increasing cigar (Epic)]

(Can increase the effect of any ability the man has by choice by 50%)

[+ Swordsmanship guide to Master level (the breath of steel) (Epic)]

Alright, the other things he got were good, it seems.

The ability-increasing cigar was something else, that made Josh wonder

if he should increase his physical talent, or healing factor, which

happened to be a physical constitution.

Josh decided to use it on his healing factor, which was mid-grade.

It didn't grow to good rank, however, his constitution changed to Above

Mid Grade Healing Factor.

That would allow him to regenerate faster, and, thus, dealing better with

critical injuries, which can kill and damage him even with his healing

factor.

That's why he needed to increase that ability.

The last thing was something that almost made Josh's heart melt.

It was a Swordsmanship guide to master level.

It should allow him to learn quickly how to use blades and cut the steel

with them.

However, when he started reading it, he knew that he needs many days.

Even with his talent that allows him to have better talent than most, he

needs a couple of months to reach max level.

Still, by reading that manual, he could tell it talks about positions, how

someone should breathe while cutting and move the blade.

The last chapter of this manual was about the Breath of Steel, which

explains how to hear it.

Josh pushed Mikita's sleeping body, took a long dagger under the bed,

stood in the middle of the room, and started playing with it as the

manual suggest to a beginner swordsman.

Josh had to start from the first level, after all.

He then stopped moving all of the sudden and put the dagger back in its

place.

Because he had been excited to increase his skills in the given three days

before meeting Crocodile, he forgot to use 80 Draw Points.

Josh found himself in two hard choices. One: spend the points one by

one, raising his trials, but having low chances. Two: using more points in

each trial and he would have a higher chance, but fewer trying times.

In any case, he is gambling, and it felt hard for him.

Josh smirked and decided to try this.

40…40

He was gambling what worths 40 million Berries in Lottery, not knowing

if he get an epic thing.

Usually, spending ten points gives him better chances at getting above

average and many times good.

Forty, he didn't know what should it be.

[+ agility increasing serum (Excellent) (+ 50% agility)]

With this serum, Josh would have taken Mr 2 in less time, given the new

speed he would get.

Increasing agility usually means increasing his reaction and attacking

speeds, with his basic speed and a bit of his stamina would be increased.

[+ A Stainless Steel Katana (Epic) ]

(A master-crafted sword, hard to break, and very sharp)

Waving his hand, Josh had a black sheathed Katana appearing in his

hand.

Although Josh isn't a swordsman, he practises Kung Fu.

Kung Fu was a martial art that makes him a master with most of the

weapons, swords were included in the list.

Just, it's a different style.

'Well, one can train swordsmanship later with this.'

Josh didn't refuse it. He is a master of martial arts, and including

swordsmanship could do him a great favour.

But because he has a great battle waiting for him, he needed to practise

what he is good at most. Taking his dagger again from under the bed, he

started practising silently, while leaving Mikita hugging an empty sheet.

—— End Flashback ——

Josh stopped and rubbed his nose, the weather was getting wetter, yet

seemed dried up at the same time.

His feet stopped walking on the sand, and he quickly turned back, seeing

a black-haired man, who was standing at the height of 253 centimetres,

making Josh look like a kid.

He was wearing a black tuxedo, a cigarette in his mouth. Josh looked at

the man's square face, and tight black eyes, with the scar on his nose that

almost split his face in half.

"Boss, you are here. I didn't expect for you to come this early."

"The previous Mr 7," Crocodile said the name slowly, while carefully

observing Josh from head to toe. "Never thought you are this Tiny."

"Tiny!" Josh took a step back, as if offended, and pointed to himself with

his thumbs. "That wasn't what your mama has said."

Crocodile, whose original plan was to give Josh some trash talk and teach

him about how there are people at a higher level before killing him,

couldn't help but clench his teeth in anger, his cigar splitting in half.

Josh looked at the angry face of Crocodile, and then at the cigarette that

fell.

Crocodile would expect that Josh would feel fear, just like everyone who

had seen this face on the boss of the Baroque Works in the past.

However…

"Learn to keep her teeth away. Do you kiss your parent with that mouth?"

Josh smirked as he looked at Crocodile, reaching his back and taking one

dagger while pointing at Crocodile.

"Bastard!"

As Crocodile was growling behind his clenched teeth, the sky was getting

darker and darker with each second.

Josh knew that Robin had burned the green powder.

However, it had yet to rain.

Crocodile, who was feeling wrath, felt invincible the moment the sky

darkened in his anger.

"You will beg for mercy when I'm done with you." Crocodile believed that

he would kill Josh before even the first drop of water leave the sky.

Josh, who had to anger Crocodile to forget about the sky, lifted both of

his hands.

"I won't use your mom to comment on this."

Josh shook his head and looked at the ground.

Crocodile sneered at Josh when he saw him silent. Crocodile's hand

started morphing into the sand, which took the shape of a sword that had

a faint layer of yellow air around it.

Josh continued as he smiled at Crocodile face with a playful expression.

"I won't. I promised her to be gentle."

"To hell with it!" the last line got Crocodile. Screaming, Crocodile waved

his sand blade down.

The ground shook and split in front of Josh, starting from Crocodile, and

it seemed about to swallow him.

The crocodile's swung just showed how strong he is to do that with a

sand sword.

Using Shave, Josh managed to dodge five meters to the right.

He looked behind him, to see the ground split in half.

Had he stayed in his place, he would have split in half.

Luckily, he got his agility increased.

"You're strong physically." Josh looked at Crocodile. With this, he can

tell, Crocodile is strong even without his fruit. Josh cracked his fingers.

"Not a problem."

*Rumble*

A lightning bolt flashed in the dark sky.

Crocodile looked down at Josh with a dark angry face.

Chapter 43: Chapter 43

Taking four quick steps to the side, Josh thanked God secretly in his

heart as some sharp sands blades appeared from the ground and almost

cut him in half.

Josh didn't dare to stop and quickly used Shave to move behind

Crocodile, appearing 40 meters behind him.

To Josh, it was stupid to attack the warlord, a loggia devil fruit user,

directly.

All of the physical attacks are useless since Crocodile can turn into sand.

Smirking at Josh, who had been dodging his attacks, Crocodile turned to

face Josh and opened his palm.

"What? Aren't you going to call for your Mama? You may need someone's

tears?"

Crocodile mocked as he slowly turned and looked at Josh, who was so

careful to approach him, even after all of that big talk.

"I'm an orphan. Better luck next time."

Josh raised his middle finger at Crocodile, making veins appear on

Crocodile's face.

"Darn Brat!"

In the palm of Crocodile, a small tornado of sand danced there.

Throwing it, the sand whirlpool became big, and it flew toward Josh,

generating a very strong wind that lifted the sand around it.

Josh quickly used Shave and turned in another direction, only for

Crocodile to send another Sand Storm at him.

Crocodile smirked. He was smarted than Josh and lived for a long time.

Shave… what's that technique.

Crocodile has lived the time of the Pirate King himself. He is smart

enough to take such opponents with ease.

Josh has nothing on him.

Opening his palm another time, Crocodile sent another sand storm,

which Josh dodged.

Josh found himself dancing between two sand whirlwinds, big ones.

Crocodile didn't stop and unleashed the third one.

Josh, finding that he would be in a hard situation if these Sand Storms

kept unleashing at him, had a crazy idea as he crossed his arms and

looked at the smirking face of Crocodile.

'I thought of this, and I'm putting my life on it.'

'I'll bet on my bluff, and healing factor'

Although a rock hit his face and body and they made a wound, Josh

screamed and jumped toward the tornado.

The wind lifted his body, and Josh was dancing along with the storm,

rocks hitting his face along with any sharp object that could have been

buried in the sand.

Crocodile shook his head.

"I've met a lot of stupid people like you, thinking that they can take my

attack head-on and damage me." Crocodile reached his pocket, knowing

it's useless to talk with Josh, and took a cigar, before lit it up.

Crocodile was aware that the sky was black. That's why he had wanted to

end Josh before the first drop of rain fall on this desert.

*Rumble*

The crocodile could hear thunder as he put the cigar in his mouth and he

made a smoke cloud leave his mouth.

A wet drop fell on his face.

Crocodile looked at the dark sky and put his hand on the cigar's head,

protecting from the water.

"It's over."

The sand storms stopped.

Crocodile thought it's time to leave and go back to his base after he had

dealt with the betrayer.

After giving his back, waiting for Josh's corpse to fall on the ground, so

that he can drain it, Crocodile was surprised to hear these words after

hearing someone lands on the ground.

"Where are you going?" Came Josh's voice

"You stay alive, even after falling from such a distance and hitting rocks!"

Crocodile turned.

Josh was lying on the ground, many spots in his body were injured, and

his mouth was bleeding.

Because he had fallen from a high, Josh was bleeding from his mouth,

indicating that there was some internal bleeding.

"Yes…" Josh put his hands on the ground and stood up. "That was a

tough one, you know. Rolling and rolling…" with each word, Josh's weak

voice was getting stronger. "I felt dizzy, especially with all these rocks

falling on me.

The raindrops falling rate increased, soaking the two of them wet.

*Rumble*

A big lightning bolt flashed in the dark sky, making it light up as it would

in the morning from the power of the flash.

"Wait… You are!" Crocodile, who was now covered in the rain, opened

his eyes widely upon realising one thing.

Josh gave him a wide grin as he wiped the blood from his face.

Because it was raining, the blood was washed out of his face with ease.

But no wound was there.

"Sorry, I had to let you leave your guard down," smirking, Josh said.

Thanks to the healing factor he had, he was able to heal from the wounds

he was getting in the sky.

Although some of them were critical, he protected his head, and Josh

resisted the pain till the end, only for Crocodile to be assured that he can

have the victory when the rain descends.

Luckily, he had increased his Healing Factor when he had to choose from

his abilities.

"You…"

Smelling something fishy, Crocodile lifted his head and bit on his cigar,

breaking it.

Feeling the raindrops on his face, he knew it. Josh must have planned for

this in advance.

"And here I thought that you are stupid to throw yourself to the storm."

Crocodile reached his hook and took it off, replacing it with a poisonous

blade, squatting slightly, and saying. "Although I'm touchable when there

is water, I can use my ability, my attacks, and I'm enough alone for

killing people like you."

All Crocodile needed is not to let his guard down. Just one touch and

Josh would be dried up from all of his body's liquids.

When Crocodile was preparing to attack, he felt something was missing.

Josh wasn't in front of him when Crocodile was done from his

monologue.

Standing behind Crocodile and taking the 50 cm long dagger from his

back, Josh quickly flipped in the air and waved the dagger quickly, on

the arm that had a hook.

Crocodile, who was caught off guard because of Josh's speed, watched as

his hook slid and fell to the ground. Crocodile lost more of his arm again.

Josh, who was in the air, didn't stop.

On the last day, although Josh didn't reach Master level in

swordsmanship, he was skilled enough now to have cutting skills that

allow him to cut hard things with ease — such as wood and flesh.

Swiftly turning, his other hand turning into a wet sand sword, Crocodile

slashed up.

Josh, almost getting caught by it, dodged in the last second by moving

his head to the side.

Flipping the dagger in his hand again, Josh quickly gave a sidekick to

Crocodile's knee, making him bend down a bit before he raised his

dagger and stabbed Crocodile on the shoulder, letting the dagger reach

deep from the shoulder to the chest.

Bending down and bleeding from his mouth, Crocodile lifted his face, his

lips shaking as he extended his hand, trying to hold Josh.

'Just one touch.' Crocodile thought. That is what he needs for victory.

Josh, however, vanished and appeared ten meters back, the dagger in his

hand. The crocodile was bleeding in a huge amount from his shoulder

and hand, and the internal bleeding was severe.

The damage and the bleeding rate was deadly.

Crocodile was on his knees, his only hand on the wet ground, and the

rain was making him weaker.

Josh smiled and said. "Thank you for taking care of me, boss."

He then half-closed his eyes, the smile vanishing and getting replaced by

a serious expression.

"However, you are disgusting, asking me to do your dirty job to the

rebels and be a part of killing people who has done nothing to me."

Although Josh barely cares about the people he doesn't know, the

missions he had back then would bother his conscience. Baroque Works

wasn't always shiny.

"You bastard!" Crocodile growled as he stood up, his willpower making

an appearance. "You think I care if you feel disgusted. I don't regret

anything. I did whatever I can do."

Crocodile took a deep breath and screamed. "I will become the Pirate

King."

"You… a pirate king." Josh looked at Crocodile from toe to head. He

threw the dagger up slightly and held it from the tip of the blade.

Crocodile observed Josh, curious about what he has to say.

"Here's your crown."

Taking a step forward and throwing stance, Josh threw the dagger with

all of his might, sending it with a speed that can rival a real bullet.

Crocodile looked at his chest, to his supposed crown. Quickly, he fell on

his knees, his eyelids going back.

Josh appeared above the body, put his hand next to the nose, and

muttered. "Still alive. People in this world barely are able to breathe after

that!"

Josh thought about killing Crocodile. However, he didn't know what may

happen if he ever killed a Warlord. Not to mention, he has yet to take

over his wealth.

Not to mention, would he face a setback if he killed him since the World

Government is behind Crocodile.

Moreover, is Crocodile pretending to be dead?

Josh knew that he took Crocodile down since he heard the notification.

[Ding, the Gamble is completed]

[the rewards are in the storage.]

Feeling good mood, Josh reached Crocodile's coat and grabbed a snail

from there, which looked to be dressed like Robin, and called it.

"Boss…" came Robin's voice, drawing a smile on Josh's face.

"Ane (Sis)," Josh said with a teasing tone.

"Hey… wait! Josh."

"Who else would call you that."

"You are calling from Mr.0's snail?" Robin asked with a confused tone.

"What do you think it means?" Josh lied down on the ground next to

Crocodile's body. "By the way, can you send me a ride, and call the king

of Alabasta, but not now…

Josh thought about the Golden Crocodile above the casino. Crocodile'

casino and greed took over Josh's heart. That's going to be the biggest

step for him in his career.

' I need to melt that Golden Crocodile.'

"For now what?" Robin asked when Josh took his time being silent.

Shaking his head, Josh took a deep breath. "Just send me a ride. I'm next

to the casino, 600 meters, east."

Chapter 44: Chapter 44

After defeating Crocodile, Robin came personally to the fight location,

surrounded by the rain.

Seeing the innocent expression on the sitting wet Josh, she was about to

smile but couldn't help but frown at the bleeding body of Crocodile next

to him.

Flinching slightly, she could tell that Josh didn't finish off Crocodile, who

was still breathing.

Robin sighed.

Knowing that this guy is acting based on his heart, she could understand

why he isn't finishing off a snake-like Crocodile.

It's a job for Ane-San to do.

"You did this…" she came off her camel and walked forward. Josh looked

at her, before her heels, which didn't sink in the wet sand, and Josh only

raised his eyebrows in amusement.

"You tell me," Josh said mockingly, indicating that he is fine.

Robin tilted her head and walked to Crocodile, noticing that there is a

big dagger in his chest.

After making a sigh, Robin crossed her arms. "Little brother, you should

know that finishing the job is the charm of the Baroque Works."

Josh said. "Did you forget I was an agent as well?"

Well, he finished his mission, didn't he.

"I didn't." Robin gave him a gentle teasing smile as she tilted her head.

"You don't want to see this, turn your head."

"I won't object. I'm hungry and I don't want to lose my appetite."

Josh shook his head and stood up, turning and giving his back to her.

Robin looked at his back and gave a small smile before turning to

Crocodile, lifeless expression replacing that smile. She crossed her arms.

Few arms appeared from thin air around the shoulder of the Crocodile,

twisting and breaking his neck. Life won't be possible again for

crocodiles.

The hands turned into few petals and Robin clapped her hands.

She lifted her hand and touched the raindrops. "Although the rain is

beautiful. Because we used green powder, people from other kingdoms

are losing their share of water today. How do you feel about that? People

are hungry because you took down Crocodile."

"I feel hungry. How do you feel?" Josh turned, ignoring the dead body on

the ground, and looking at the sky, not noticing that Robin's clothes

became wet and stuck to her.

"Well. I've lived long enough in the underworld. I've felt too long that I'm

no longer be able to feel."

Smiling at her, Josh said. "Can you feel it if it were long enough?"

Josh then turned and stared at her. Suddenly, he paused, looking at the

raindrops dancing around her tanned delicate skin.

Josh seemed to focus more on her huge chest area, as the clothes stuck

there.

He could see her nipples.

And Robin could notice that.

"Well, little brothers shouldn't speak like that." Robin thought about the

double meaning of his words. If the D is long enough.

Frowning at the meaning of his words, Robin crossed her arms, and a

hand appeared on the back of Josh, pinching him on the back of his neck.

"Ouch." Josh smiled at her. "I don't know what you thought. I was

meaning if the duration is long enough. What else could it be to make

you frown?"

Staring at him for few seconds, Robin put her hand next to her mouth

and giggled slightly, not believing that he got her. She knew that since he

had that tricky smile. But she couldn't let him win.

"Fufufu… not only your height went there..."

Robin said, sweeping the raindrops as she let her hand run across her

skin, before stopping on her cleavage.

"Hope you don't mind. I need to adjust this" She lifted her short jacket,

letting the water slip down, while Josh looking at her adjusting her huge

chest in her bras. For a second, her nipple appeared.

'So huge!'

Josh was amazed when he saw that. Mikita had a big chest, but Robin's

was like double of it.

After finishing adjusting her clothes, Robin turned and smiled at him

with a teasing face.

"Ahem…" Noticing that a bulge appearing on his pants, Josh turned and

gave her his back again.

"Don't be shy of this Ane San," Robin said, addressing herself as a big

sister felt surprisingly good for her, who lived in the underworld for a

long time and had said she doesn't feel many things.

"I'm not shy. You are too shameless for me." Defending himself and trying

to change the topic, Josh scratched the back of his hair and said with a

low voice. "Let's move to Crocodile's place."

The rain stopped, meaning the heat would come back soon.

By this moment, the people of Alabasta would be enjoying this rain, since

it means that they would have more water, and thus, their corps would

grow.

"Why?"

"We did our job. We need to take our share." Josh said.

"Never thought you are greedy for money."

Josh only turned his face to her and said. "If no one takes his money,

many others would come and fight for death in order to get it, which can

include innocents in the way. Let me handle this if you can't."

After having hearing many politicians speeches about higher causes, Josh

knew what to say. Robin, however, thought of someone else.

'He isn't greedy?' Robin took a step back, looking at Josh with wide-

opened eyes.

Josh is taking money for himself. But he wasn't doing this to enjoy it.

Moreover, he is doing this to save the people. Josh, although he looks

young, was looking at the future despite his young age to such a degree.

She suppressed the movement of her face. 'This guy… he… I never saw

someone like him.'

Robin had been curious about him, but now, he got her interest.

"Sure, let's go. You have to take responsibility for what you have done."

She said, testing him. Robin tilted her head and smirked at him, making

Josh raise an eyebrow.

"Why do I have a feeling you mean another form of responsibility," Josh

said.

Robin raised her eyebrow.

"I'm just joking. Do whatever you like." Josh shrugged his shoulders as he

started walking, not giving her a chance to explain.

He then jumped and landed on the camel. Robin smirked while looking

at his back, sighing. 'I'm not joking, though."

Robin sighed and covered Crocodile's body in long sheets that she

brought with her.

The two of them moved back to the headquarter of the Baroque Works.

Josh went to the office of Crocodile, while Robin excused herself to stay

behind.

Crocodile has a unique way to get rid of the bodies of the people he kills,

which was by feeding them into a giant 20 meters long crocodile

monster.

Robin, this time, fed Crocodile body to them.

The giant sea beasts didn't show mercy to the person whom they used to

be his pets, and they kept him safe in their stomach.

"Rest in peace, Mr.0."

Resting her head on the glass, which was the only thing between her and

the sea beast, Robin resisted her urge to sigh.

Because she had been following Crocodile, who was a warlord, the World

Government wasn't chasing her.

Now that Crocodile is dead, it's a matter of time until the World

Government finds her and start chasing her again.

Robin had been like this from the day she was a kid.

Everyone she was under protection was using her or her ability before

trying to get rid of her. Or until she betrays them when the World

Government chase her out of all of the people.

The only peacetime she had was with Crocodile, who, of course, had

been planning to kill her once she finds him the ancient weapon.

But at least Josh didn't try to kill her once he had been done with

Crocodile.

"Robin." Josh's figure flashed in the room that belonged to Crocodile

previously.

Robin knows the money, and Josh was looking at her eyes directly.

Robin held her heart in surprise as Josh was so fast that he made her

heart skip a beat. S

suppressing the urge to tell him to knock on the door before entering, she

drew a smile on her face and turned, elegantly asking why is he here.

"Can you kick the guests out of the casino? I need to take that Golden

Crocodile's statue on the top." Josh said. "Please."

"Wait, are you treating me as a subordinate?" Robin said, raising her

eyebrows.

If Josh says yes, then she is officially employed, she thought

"I said please, didn't I?"

Before Robin could say anything, Josh said, "my group would arrive

soon. Thanks. I knew I could trust you?"

Before Robin could even say anything, Josh vanished and left the room,

leaving her jaw opened.

'Why does he outmatch me when it comes to talking. He would make a

great politician.'

"My poor life." Sighing, she massaged her temple, while smiling.

Chapter 45: Chapter 45

"Oh bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao caio…"

Muttering and singing in Italian, Josh couldn't help but licking his lips

when he looked at where Crocodile usually keeps his money.

Robin was standing next to him, looking at his facial expression with her

lips relaxed, trying to understand what he is saying. It was a very weird

language. But she didn't care.

Josh was in front of a closet, full of green papers, stacks of green papers

that filled the room. There was a lot of gold and jewels as well. Josh

recognised some of the jewels since he had taken them from pirates in

the past.

Robin faked a cough and explained. ". Besides the wealth from the

pirates' heads and the casino, we have accumulated a lot of money by

taking treasures from pirates."

One pirate with a bounty of 10-30 million doesn't seem that much. But

imaging taking tens and tens of them monthly, while having strong

agents, and stripping the pirates from their treasures all along.

Pirates, most of the time, has more money than their heads worth.

Crocodile had been wise enough to know about that and take it all.

"Robin. Thank you."

Unable to suppress his happiness, Josh opened his arms and turned,

hugging Robin.

Robin was surprised. Because her face had been trained for many years,

she didn't show that.

"You can count on this Ane-San."

Although she said that, feeling her big boobs rubbing on his chest, she

felt like blushing.

If not for her slightly tanned skin colour, Robin would blush. Seems that

staying in the desert sun all of this time had its benefit.

Feeling curious if Josh was feeling something from hugging her, Robin,

who was quite taller and was wearing heels, raised her knee, touching his

crotch with her thigh, and understanding that he was semi-soft.

It was pure happiness, it seems. but she has to admit, he is big...

Josh seemed surprised, feeling her thigh pressing against his crotch and

lifted his head

Mikita shot her a glare, but Robin ignored her anyway and put her leg

down. "Should we celebrate now," Robin said as she pulled back from the

hug, and Josh gave his back to his girlfriend.

"Ahem, I know," Josh said, before looking at the rest of his group.

"We are rich now." Mikita stood behind him and held his arm to her

chest.

"Besides of my share, I want my money back, with benefits." Marianne,

who was sitting far from them, next to the office, was sitting with Gem

and Melissa, who were preparing for drinks.

"I have bought him a shirt, nice market, and fed him. I want a benefit as

well." Melissa said, looking at Josh back. Seeing that he wasn't paying

attention to her voice, she pushed her hair back.

"Me too." Gem said.

"Shut up. You paid for nothing, cheap bastard." Marianne said.

Melissa nodded. "Yeah, other than doing our job in burning the rest of

the Baroque Works members, you paid for nothing."

Earlier, as Josh had been fighting Crocodile, Gem, Melissa, Marianne and

Mikita were doing their job by burning and exploding the rest of the

Baroque Works workers and bases.

Gem rubbed his nose on the remark. "I remember I bought him a

cigarette."

"Josh doesn't smoke!" Melissa rolled her eyes. "Stop lying."

"He likes to drink sweet drinks when he is nervous, so better luck next

time," Marianne said, sipping her tea.

"You seems very focused on what he likes and what he doesn't." Gem put

his sunglasses in this dark place and sighed.

'Poor guys,' Josh shook his head.

At best, they will get some million berries.

"Don't worry, you will get a fair share, now that you are free from the

Baroque Works."

No one can steal from Josh, since he can store money in his system.

However, he may have some plans for investing that money. As long as

he gets enough money, he can retire anyway and start a new business.

-x-X-x-

Vivi, the young princess of Alabasta was sitting in the dining room,

having her meal.

The spoon was moving on the bowl, pushing the soup without lifting it to

her mouth.

Vivi let a long sight out of her mouth.

For many nights, ever since she came back to Alabasta, she was thinking

about Mr 7 and her country.

She never expected her father to enter from the door, a happy smile on

her face.

"Vivi." Cobra waved his hand, telling the guards to leave him and his

daughter alone.

The guards nodded and did as they were told.

"Yes." Vivi stood up respectfully and stopped eating… well, she wasn't

eating in the first place.

King Cobra looked from Vivi to the table, noticing that many dishes were

still full, only a bite was taken from an apple.

"Why aren't you eating well. If my little daughter stays skinny, then I'm

afraid that no one would marry you unless he is blinded by greed to

reach the throne." King Cobra said, shaking his head left and right.

As a blush ran across her pale cheeks, Vivi opened her eyes widely.

"Father!" she yelled at him. "I don't want to marry! I'm too young! Stop

saying I'm ugly!"

"Hahaha…" Cobra laughed. "If my daughter is ugly, then Alabasta's

beauty queens are nothing." Who is she joking, Vivi is very pretty, and

that's when she is 15 years old. Growing older would make her more

mature, and thus tempting.

"You still watch that show… Alabasta's beauty queen."

"I have no idea what you are talking about." The king shook his head.

Half closing her eyes and upset about her dad's remark, Vivi sat down

and said. "Did you only come to tell me that?"

"No." King Cobra shook his head. "Your friend… the one we have

gambled on him."

"What do you mean."

"Listen, this is a piece of top-secret information. Don't rise your voice.

Crocodile has been taken down. Josh had just sent me a secret letter,

giving us the location of all of the weapon deliveries across Alabasta

along with the rebels centres. The rebels would no longer have someone

to give them a weapon, neither the people would have their foods burned

by Crocodile."

Crocodile had been using many tactics to lit up the flames of rebellions.

One of them is to make people hungry, cut their supplies of food, and

sink their water sources with sands.

That's why, when Crocodile left, everyone was happy, since that means

saving the life of the others.

"Wait, this is…" Vivi stood up, her big brown eyes glowing. Even though

she is young and has yet to experience more, she realised what it means.

Thinking about Josh, she faked a cough. "Father, we should invite him

for dinner."

"Huh? I thought you didn't like him." Cobra raised his eyebrows when he

saw her blushing slightly.

Vivi noticed her father's glance and turned her head embarrassingly,

saying.

"I never said I don't. I just want to apologise to him."

"So you like him." Cobra raised his eyebrow.

"I never said!" Embarrassed, Vivi yelled, turned, and run.

The king sighed. "Teens." Shrugging his shoulders, Cobra went back to

the throne room, since he has more important work to do.

Chapter 46: Chapter 46

"Thanks for the meal."

Josh said after he finished eating his food elegantly. He has been using

the fork and the knife in a very good way. The king noticed his food

manner and nodded.

"Josh, about the dinner. I have invited you for something else." Cobra

made a wide smile while looking at Josh.

Josh stared at his smiling face. He pushed the spoon back and picked up

a paper, whipping his face.

"I know. You don't have to say anything." Josh said.

"Yes." Cobra smiled, thinking someone as smart as Josh would understand

what it means when a father smile while joining his hands together.

Josh reached his pocket, pulling out a full envelope, handing it on the

table next to the king. "You gave me a loan of 40 million Berries. I said I

will give it back. Here it is." Josh let a sigh, which sounded heavy on his

heart.

Although he can just forget about the money, he is not a thief. Besides,

he has enough for himself to start investing in his future.

"Huh? Wait." Cobra's expression changed into confusion before opening

his eyes widely.

Who would ever think that Josh would be thinking about this?

Josh isn't just well mannered when it comes to the table, but he is a very

considerate person.

Making eye contact with Cobra, Josh lifted his hand to stop him from

talking.

"I get it." He then pointed at Vivi.

Noticing his finger, Vivi's cheeks turned red and almost took a step back.

Cobra smiled. Now everyone is thinking about the same thing. Cobra felt

satisfied with that.

Josh continued. "Your daughter has explained that your country is living

a crisis. The money you have now can help some towns or whatever. You

don't need to bother yourself with explaining."

Josh just thought that Cobra is shy to ask his money back after Josh

saved his country.

Vivi's cheeks grew redder as she lowered her head and looked at her

spoon.

When Cobra looked at her, Josh said. "Don't worry, she said it a long time

ago when we used to be at Baroque Works."

Josh poured some lemon juice for himself, which Mikita was drinking as

she was sitting at the same table.

"You are a unique man, aren't you?" Cobra said.

"I didn't experience men, so I can't tell you." Josh shrugged his shoulders.

"Anyway, what's your plan now, that you took Crocodile down." Trying

not to feel offended about the meaning behind experiencing men, Cobra

decided to leave the topic in his head.

Josh looked at Robin, who was sitting by his side. , Robin, who was

wearing a long black jacket and leather shorts, said.

"We are planning, for now, to open some casinos in a near country, a rich

one with pirates and all.…"

Robin continued. Josh's plan is simple.

He would open casinos. Instead of chasing pirates, it's better to have

them gamble in your place, make them lose money, and when they

object, you take down their heads.

Josh had this plan in mind, and he wanted to hire the other Baroque

Works agents, which he defeated for that purpose.

Robin was thinking, Josh had gained almost 800 million berries from the

accumulated wealth of Crocodile, and after giving everyone's his share,

he has 650 million left, which was left for investing.

Robin was thinking about what had happened last night when Josh gave

her her share.

—— Flashback ——

Last night.

"I don't want money as my share, little brother."

Robin said, looking at Josh, who sitting on the chair and trying to smoke

Crocodile's usual cigar.

However, he coughed hard and threw the cigar away, saying that this

shirt hurt, which made Robin almost laugh.

Looking at her with red eyes, Josh asked. "Don't you want money, to help

you move around?"

Josh seemed to know about her habit of moving around the pirates and

dark organisations.

"I want something else." Robin tilted her head and smiled at him.

Noticing that smile, which looked more like a sneer, Josh raised his

eyebrows and asked her.

He had been very generous with her in case she wanted to move away.

"You want me to take responsibility, don't you?" Josh seemed to

remember their conversation when Robin had said he will take

responsibility when she had made him have a boner.

"And for that, you want to pay 100 million berries?" Josh said with an

obvious tone that it was a losing deal.

"Isn't that a little brother's job? Or are you going to throw this Ane-San to

the wolves?" Robin said, putting her hand in front of her forehead and

pretending to faint any time soon.

However, inside, she was begging for him to say yes.

Josh looked like a really nice boy. Staying with him can allow her to

have some breathing from running away.

Josh looked at her, and he seemed to have some conflicting ideas.

"You know what, I have a good idea, a suggestion if you like."

"Knowing that your plan taking one of the warlords down has succeeded,

sure, tell me," Robin said.

"Consider doing a slight surgery, change your hairstyle, skin degree, and,

dye your hair…" Josh said, making Robin's eyes opened widely. "And of

course, change your name."

If Robin changed her name, wear a mask or even dye her hair, she should

be considered someone else, and thus, she would be considered another

free person.

During the time Josh had to spend in the Baroque Works, he had met

with pirates who had changed their identity.

Even in the Anime of One Piece, Kuro has faked his death and lived free

from marines. Kuro, however, should have been able to live a happy life

if he didn't plan to chase Kaya's wealth.

"Mm. I thought about it a lot. I had never had the time. I never had

enough money to do so, and Crocodile never gave me the time to change

it…" Robin smiled, somehow embarrassed, feeling stupid that even Josh

can find a good solution for her to live carefreely.

"And here I thought you were dumb-dumb not to think doing so."

Josh shrugged his shoulders and put his legs above the table, picking up

and cigar and staring at her.

Robin's smile froze when she heard his words.

Did he just call her Dumb-Dumb? She, who spends most of her time

reading books, was called dumb by a little guy who is way younger than

her.

In this world, very few things, too few, can get on her nerve.

Josh, officially, joined the list.

"You called me what?" She opened her eyes, staring at his face as he put

the cigar in his mouth.

One eye of hers flinched. He thinks himself cool, doesn't he?

Upon hearing her, Josh didn't even flinch and spoke while trying to

balance the cigar in his mouth, without smoking in fact.

"Do I have to do surgery to your ears as well?" He asked curiously.

Josh, knowing about Robin from the anime, would never think that

anything would get on her nerves.

"You darn little brother!" Quickly, crossing her arms, Robin made man

arms appear around Josh's legs and arms. One of the hands took the cigar

and threw it off, while others started choking him.

"I'm joking. You are very smart." His facial expression relaxed, Josh said,

extending his arms at her.

"I will see a good doctor tomorrow." Robin gave her back at him and

walked while waving her perky big butt seductively.

Since she was wearing shorts, Josh forgot the situation he is in and stared

at her. Girls in this world are so hot in their design.

Seeing their real-life version, a man of culture like him can't help by

having that desire to look.

Robin's swaying ass stopped jiggling as her heels stopped hitting the

ground.

"Oh, And you better find one too." She said.

One of her arms on his back bend down, a hand touched his crotch,

making his eyes lit up. Josh just got out of his staring mode, but his face

was still calm.

Feeling that he was hard, Robin shook her head and took her hands back,

letting Josh breathe again.

She turned her face and said. "This Oni-San is disappointed."

"Wait…. I didn't mean it the way you think" Josh said, her hand was

getting on him.

However, as she stepped out, that hand pinched slightly on his balls,

making him lose his calm face. "Ouch!" he rubbed his balls all of the

sudden. "My kids! I'll make you pay."

— End Flashback —

"Robin, Robin," Josh called Robin, who looked mind absent. "Is there

something?"

When Robin turned to face him, she smiled at his face. "Oh, nothing."

"Mm…"

Josh then continued drinking and eating some snacks. While being

looked at by all the women, Josh excused himself to stand up.

Although the king told him to stay for longer, and stay the night here,

Josh only patted his arm, saying he is going to be busy with something.

On his way out, Josh found Vivi in front of him.

"What's up, princess?" Josh said, gaining the glare of the women around.

Vivi smiled and had a red layer on her cheeks. Bowing down slightly, she

said. "Thank you for everything. Please, if you need or want anything, I

will do whatever is in my ability to fulfil it. Don't hesitate to call me."

Hearing that, Josh raised an eyebrow and said. "Anything?" when the

words left his mouth, Mikita put her hand next to her mouth

"Kyahahaha, what things you are thinking of."

Not only so, but there were others glancing at Josh. Marianne came next

to him and pinched his thigh, and Josh couldn't help but look at the small

girl.

What worse, no one could tell it except Josh, that one of Robin's hands

was inside of his boxer, threatening to pinch.

Josh finally decided to speak up for himself.

"Okay, Mikita is my girl, I understand it. But the rest of you, what's with

that reaction. And why are you planning to burn me." Josh looked at

Melissa, who put some gasoline next to his shoe. Josh was raising his

eyebrows, and he looked at everyone.

"Good you know who is your girl." Mikita smiled slightly. She was the

only one who didn't object though.

"My poor life." Gem ignored everyone and walked past them, making his

way out of the palace while threatening to blow up everyone on his way.

"Fufufufu… you are paranoid, I have no idea," Robin said and Josh felt a

slight pinch next to his balls. Damn, this girl can give him a hand job

remotely.

Vivi was confused while looking at everyone.

Josh quickly turned to Vivi and put his hands on her shoulder, before

looking at her eyes. "Thanks for your offer. All I hope is that you become

a good princess in the future."

Looking up at his face, Vivi made a small smile while having a blush as

her eyes lit up. "Thank you, I promise you to be the best princess you

know."

"You already are."

"Please, watch me in the future."

After saying that, Josh and everyone left.

Josh was slowly decreasing his speed as he was walking out, until he was

behind everyone, slightly behind Robin.

Josh half-closed his eyes. This brunette had been teasing him long

enough that he wanted to repay the favour. Since she pinched his balls,

it's only fair for him to pinch her back.

Reaching his hands slowly to her bottom, Josh put his hand on her butt,

which was big and toned.

Although he paused for a second upon feeling how large it was, Josh

didn't forget his objective. "Revenge time."

And he squeezed with enough strength.

"Oh…mm…"

Instead of jumping up, Robin exhaled softly, almost moaning, and turned

her head to him.

Josh raised his eyes a bit to see her face.

She wasn't smiling. However, she was having her eyes half-closed, and

she breathes were so slow.

She seemed to be aroused.

If she wasn't tanned, she would be blushing.

Josh could feel the atmosphere with the sensor that God gave him, which

vibrated when meeting her face, understanding the appealing signals she

was sending through looking at his eyes.

Her thighs rubbed against each other, and Josh raised his eyebrows.

"I didn't enjoy it. Not fair." Seeing that she somehow enjoyed this, he took

his hand back and turned his face. "I thought you would feel the same."

"Ahem. Don't misbehave, Josh chan." After giving his head a pat, Robin

walked while swaying her hips, her steps slower and giving Josh a view.

'It's my fault. My physical talent and touching Mikita's butt has made it

natural for me to treat a woman like that.'

Robin must have felt good. Josh looked at his hands, a double-edged

weapon.

"One can always look at the bright side," he muttered. the good thing was

that he learnt a great lesson. Sometimes, payback doesn't give the same

feeling you were expecting. (The real lesson: how do that soft bubbles

feels like.)

Now, Josh has to think ahead and plan for his future, as he needs to gain

more money.

-x-X-x-

Mikita was on her period. To Josh, this meant that there is no sex for

tonight.

Mikita felt so sorry for him and bad when Josh said he wants to stay

alone tonight.

It had been a long time since they had time in bed, and when they

thought they would have some warm time, her period came.

Josh said it's not a big deal, but he needed to relax for a bit.

However, that's a problem. Josh isn't a simple man. He is potentially a

religious's organisation leader since he has direct contact with a Devil.

And Mikita was a believer. There is no religious group leader in One

Piece world without women trying to snatch him all around. Let alone a

Devilish group leader who has real miracles but no one knows about

him… yet.

To Josh, it wasn't a big deal that Mikita would only relax. It was a

chance.

During the last days, he didn't have time to check the rewards he had

gotten after beating Crocodile.

He didn't want to open them in the bed next to her, or Mikita would

think he is crazy or ask if he got a spiritual message.

Sitting on the couch in the previous casino owned by Crocodile, which is

his temporarily place to stay, Josh put a leg above another and stared at

the roof.

Calling the system in his head, the screen appeared, and he smiled when

he saw his storage.

Although what happened between him and Robin was awkward, made

him quite horny in fact, he could keep himself under check for the sake

of the rewards he is going to get.

1 Mystery Box tier 5 (+legend rank.)

2 Mystery box tier 3 (+Excellent rank)

And 50 Draw points.

This was a really big reward, especially the tier five mystery box.

Because of one legend rank reward he had gotten in the past, he has a

healing factor that makes him look like an awakened Simple Zoan Devil

Fruit user.

This was what he was looking for. Something of the same quality, or

something to increase his power.

Starting with the 2 tier 3 boxes, Josh opened them, getting these things

in raw.

[ x4 Stamina increasing cigarettes (excellent)]

(Each increases stamina by 30%)

[ Devil Blood(Epic)]

(increases the Devil Fruit abilities by 50%)

Not bad. These things would help him for sure. Josh even was planning

to eat a suitable fruit, in case he got Angel Tears again. Well, he has time

and money to make, and no enemies to bother him now.

Even though Josh isn't planning to fight too much in the future, just

starting his business, Josh realises that he is in the One Piece world,

where strength is what matters. Law can't do anything. Might control

everything, and without it, he can't protect himself, let alone having his

dreams achieved.

Opening the legend rank box, Josh got his legendary reward.

Josh, as he saw the box opening, knew it worths everything, from blood

to the tears he had spent, from each punch and kick he got in his face,

and of course, the sands that entered through his ears and nose.

[+ Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit: Devil-Devil, module: The Ancient Demon.]

The system didn't explain what this fruit does to Josh. Josh, who never

had thought about eating a Devil Fruit, never expected this one to be his

reward.

He got a Zoan devil fruit, which allows him to turn into a Demon or a

Devil…

Since it was a mythical Zoan, not an ordinary one, Josh wondered what

its mystical abilities, besides super regeneration. Thinking about, what if

his crazy healing factor was mixed with the Zoan's regeneration once it is

awakened.

Shaking his head, Josh let it rest in his storage. He is strong enough

already. He would only eat the Devil Fruit when gets some Angel Tears

from the lottery again.

The Angel Tears would allow him to deal with its weakness.

And since he has money, and had seen that he got some rewards twice,

he believed he will get it.

Now, he should work on his skills and strength.

Besides the fifty points, he got from Crocodile, Josh has put 200 million

Berries in his system for 200 draw points, giving him 250 Draw Points.

They would be used once he feels lucky.

The other amount of money would be disturbed on his project of making

casinos, where he ripped off pirate's money and their bounty, besides the

people who shouldn't gamble.

Shaking his head, Josh, who had forgotten about having sex tonight, took

the black Katana out of his storage and the manual of swordsmanship.

Josh started practising it again, wanting to increase his talent for

swordsmanship.

Surely, his body was adapting fast and learning the postures. Yet, Josh

needed to understand the blade more than move.

Even though the times were peaceful, Josh, as he was waving his sword,

thought that every moment should be spent trying to gain additional

power.

-x-X-x-

Josh was sitting at his office, looking at the black-haired snow-white

woman in front of him.

Robin made a huge smile at Josh's face.

Currently, she made some quiet changes to herself.

Her skin now is fair like milk. Her hair was tied now in a ponytail, and

she was wearing a jacket and a short skirt with a slit on the right side

that showed up her long leg. She also pushed her bangs back to her hair,

giving her a more familiar look to her anime version after two years.

"You're no longer Nico Robin?" Josh said. Although she has changed her

look, she was still as hot in the past, with perfect curves and huge

melons…

"Mmm…" Robin nodded with a smirk, seeming to wait for his opinion.

"So what's your name now."

"I decided to leave that for you."

"Don't raise your hopes." Josh rolled on his chair and lifted his head,

thinking of a good name. 'I'm not good at naming pets, let alone women.'

"I'll be happy with anything."

"Just don't pinch my balls again," Josh said. Robin remembered what had

happened the last few nights, and there was a little blush on her skin.

Robin didn't notice she was blushing because she was been used to her

tanned skin.

She just had that careless face and smiled.

Josh coughed, remembering the face she had given him that time when

he grabbed her butt.

Although he didn't get his revenge, he didn't regret his decision.

"How about, Robina." Josh thought that the World Government won't

think that Robin would be stupid enough to pick up such a name.

Staring at him for twenty seconds, Robin rolled her eyes and mocked,

"Wow, you are so genius."

Keep rolling them. You may see your brain one day." Seeing her reaction,

Josh furrowed his eyebrows and said.

"What."

The eyes felt hurt as she stopped rolling them when she heard his

comment. She stared at Josh. He got on her nerves again and she bit

slightly on her teeth.

Before she could cross her arms, Josh's jaw dropped a bit as his gaze

shifted to behind of her shoulder, his facial expression froze.

Robin thought it was a serious thing, and she made some eyes appear on

the wall to see behind her. Yet, when she did, she noticed nothing behind

her.

But when she looked forward, she noticed that Josh has vanished from

his place, with a notice on the table.

Robin walked to the office and read the note.

[Better luck next time.]

Looking around and seeing that she was alone, she let a long exhale,

filling her cheeks with air and scoffing.

"He got me…"

-x-X-x-

Josh rubbed his balls silently as he thought about what happened the last

time he pinched her butt. "Only if life was fair.

Josh was walking back to Crocodile's place. As it seems, he would be

moving out by tomorrow and go live somewhere else. Josh decided to

spend this time with Mikita.

Although it had been some time they had sex, he needed to have some

talk with her.

Otherwise, if he stayed alone with Robin and had a sister-brother game,

it may lead to things… things that give him a boner when thinking off.

Meeting Mikita, who was lying on the bed, Josh had some talk with her.

She asked him where he had spent the night last time, only to say he was

in the office practising.

"I know that you are training maniac… but come on. In the office."

Mikita looked at Josh who was sitting next to her in the bed.

"You wanted to sleep early, and you were sick… so…" Josh shrugged his

shoulders. Mikita felt that she had been neglecting him.

While he was looking at the ground, Josh saw her slender hands holding

him from the collar, before grabbing him, which drew surprise on his

face.

"Mikita, what are you doing— "

"Josh, I don't want you to cheat on me."

She hushed him as she put her finger on his lips.

Josh raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

"I want you to bang someone we know. Until I'm healed."

When Mikita said those words, Josh put his hand on her forehead. "Your

temperature is normal, did you eat something bad?"

"It's okay Joshy. You remember me telling you that I came from a noble

family."

"Yes, and that you left to achieve your dreams and all…" Josh said. "And

you also gave me a death glare when you suspected that I checked out

Vivi."

He raised his eyebrows as he was checking out her body, looking for

signs of normal heat.

"We practice polygamy. And it's only cheating when it happens in the

back." Mikita put her hand on his cheek. Josh was really good of lover,

less ass hole, and sweet enough to handle her crazy personality. And

most importantly, he was very good at bed and has crazy stamina.

'Hey…' Josh had that in mind at the beginning. But that was only left

until he becomes some king a few years later.

But now… he never thought he would hear her saying that. Josh opened

his eyes widely.

"Alright, you're under the effect of hormones. Do you want to eat

someone particular?"

Mikita furrowed her eyebrows, grabbing him strongly and increasing her

weight, so he wouldn't budge. With a serious expression, she hissed. "I

want you to get someone we know. I won't accept you getting horny with

someone else and leave."

Mikita had a deep fear. Since Josh has contact with a Devil from another

world, she feared that he would go to another woman after getting

neglected by her accidentally.

And then, the others would know about his ability, and then other

women would try to take him from Mikita. She knew that they won't

mind since she had seen women being happy to be taken as kings'

continues. Some would be happier to be taken by Celestial Dragons.

"Ah... how did that even cross your mind." Josh's heart skipped two beats

as he looked at her eyes, almost not believing that she is serious.

Still, this is a different culture. They don't have very high education and

no feminism here.

He has just to accept their rules.

"Devil's whispers," Mikita said, rising her golden eyebrow.

"Mikita…" he said, feeling the love that he never felt, but he didn't show

it on his face. "

Should I gamble more and see where this is going to lead?" Josh looked

around the room.

It can be that she was testing him. So he is testing back.

"Don't play your luck. It's temporarily. We can just play and kiss." Before

Josh could even discuss it, she grabbed him closer started kissing him.

Although his tongue was moving, Josh was thinking. 'Is it real, dream, or

a test?' Putting his hand on her heart, Josh decided to test her heartbeat.

Mikita only blushed when he did that.

Tomorrow.

"That's crazy."

Marianne finished whispering what she had heard.

Next to her, Robin and Melissa were talking after they had heard Mikita.

Although it wasn't intentional, Robin had accidentally heard Josh's

conversation with Mikita as had been making her way to her room, and

now, Robin told the girls.

"I don't know what is weird about it," Melissa said, looking at Marianne's

facial expression.

Robin faked a cough, smiled, and said. "If you lived in a sea for a long

time or came from a commoner family, you wouldn't get it. Like most of

you know, the celestial dragons set the rules, no matter if your country

follows the kingdom system or another system."

After taking off her shirt, Melissa took a cigar and lit it up. "Things are

about to get erotic, aren't they." She then turned to Marianne and

winked.

Feeling teased, Marianne stared at her with blush and said. "Hey, I'm rich

now, so don't treat me like a kid because I'm short."

"Both of us are short." Melissa shrugged her shoulders. "You're just dwarf,

I'm average."

"Attention." Robin caught their attention again. "In any case, Polygamy is

allowed to practise across this world. Some are against it. But in the end,

the World Noble's words are absolute."

Robin had some disdain in her voice upon mentioning the world nobles.

"What do you think Josh would do now that Mikita gave him the green

light?"

Asked Marianne, somehow blushing while holding her fingers together,

thinking about the time he lifted her off the ground and kissed her on the

cheek.

"He is pretty fast at moving, isn't he?" Melissa blew a cloud of smoke.

Suddenly, she flinched and pushed her green hair back, to see what the

other girls have in mind.

"He is a young boy as well… and he is sweet to us."

"He is horny as well. He may check you up if you bend over." Melissa

shrugged her shoulder

"Somehow, he won't bring the topic to us," Marianne said, looking up.

Josh was a bold man, but he wasn't shameless, they knew that. In that

case, he won't open to them.

There was one solution for a man who follows the radar under his pants.

A man who has a lot of money and his woman's permission to bang

someone else.

Brothels!

The girls seemed to think about the same thing.

"We have to save him from getting ruined." Melissa stood up.

"Robin, find him." Marianne threw herself at Robin, held her shorts and

shook her.

Robin looked down at Marianne and patted her head, saying. "Don't

worry, he won't get away."

"Things got awkward fast, didn't they. Well, this Ane-San won't let him

get ruined."

-x-X-x-

It was a new day. Josh was thinking about where to go in this morning

since he had heard one crazy confusion from Mikita, which made him

feel very lucky.

Mikita had said that she wants him to bang someone they know until she

is healed.

'She isn't feminist. I like it.'

Although her words sounded nice and all, Josh couldn't bring himself to

imagine that he tells Robin that, or Melissa or Marianne, to do it.

Even if he has permission, he couldn't imagine telling someone to enter a

relationship with him while being with another woman already.

Somehow, he had enough respect for them not to tell them that. Besides,

he doesn't have enough words, like 'Hey, do you wanna fuck…'

After saying goodbye to Mikita and making her dinner, Josh walked out

while holding a map in his hand.

The map had circles that were tagged with [Stress relief]. Josh made his

way out of the closed casino.

He was planning to visit some oases where he can train and swim in this

hot weather. He needed open space for himself.

Josh suddenly found that there was a fire of wall appearing in his way all

of the sudden.

"Wait."

Taking a step back, he turned and noticed a green-haired woman with

shoulder neck length hair, wearing a short shirt and shorts, staring at him

with her hands on her hips.

"Melissa?" Josh raised his eyebrows. "What are you doing?"

Why would she just light up the fire? I

Before she could answer, many slender long arms wrapped him, trying to

suppress his movement. Even though he could move, given his superior

strength, Josh drew confusion on his face as he turned, looking at Robin,

who appeared from the shadow and stood up next to Marianne.

"Girls, what are you doing?" Josh asked, only to see Melissa and Robin

giving him the look — the one that usually one gives to a kid when he

does something bad.

Quickly, before he could say anything else, a short shadow sneaked,

jumped, and took the map from his hands.

Josh noticed Marianne, this time she wasn't tying her hair, which gave

her a better look, as her hair was dancing on her shoulder.

Scanning the map with her big blue eyes, she opened her eyes widely.

"Stress Relief tag is here!" Marianne screamed, her eyes opened widely.

Just by seeing her reaction, everyone could tell that the usually very

quiet girl was shocked.

"Girls, we had our guess in the right place." Marianne cried. She then

threw the map to the fire.

Josh's jaw dropped a bit, his lips twitching as he looked at the small

woman. He finally couldn't hold it anymore.

"What in the hell is going on!"

Josh looked at the three women now.

Marianne was sighing in relief.

Frowning, Josh bent down, held Marianne from the back of her collar,

and lifted her off the ground to his face level. He grabbed her closer to

his face and starred deeply.

"Can someone explain to me before I lose my nerves and spank

someone?" Josh can be very bold when someone plays on his nerves in a

peaceful morning.

Marianne smiled at him wryly. "We are were saving you."

"Saving me? From what?" Josh blinked twice.

"Degeneration?" Marianne said.

"Degeneration?" He opened his widely and almost dropped her. What

does she mean? Josh wasn't going to some brothel or similar place. He

was just looking for an oasis to train in and swim.

"Come on Josh, don't you find us attractive," Melissa said, putting a hand

on her forehead.

Robin was just staring at his eyes, waiting for his answer.

'With body shapes like that.' Josh looked at the market, full of women

coming and going, 'The face plays a little of role as almost everyone has a

body that can be achieved by photoshop back in my world.'

Josh then thought about it. If they asked him if he finds them attractive,

this means that they know where he is heading. Josh frowned again.

What does that have to do with them?

The fire was turned off. Robin stepped forward and looked firmly into his

eyes. "This Oni-San is disappointed."

"Based on what?" Josh asked, his eyes half-closed.

Robin placed her hand on his cheek and said slowly. "I thought you are

bolder. Didn't Mikita ask you to do it with someone you know? And you

are now looking for someone you don't know."

"Ah? How do you know? Were you spying on me? " Josh said calmly,

trying his best to control his face as his lips were twitching while looking

at Robin's blue eyes.

"Are you embarrassed," Melissa asked in a teasing tone.

"Josh, you are a bad guy. You didn't think of us at all." Marianne said,

somehow, her voice shaking as if she were about to sob.

His mind linking the strings, Josh could tell that they are feeling bad

because they are thinking that he is looking for someone to bang on the

street as Mikita had permitted him to have sex with someone they know.

Are they feeling bad because he didn't ask them for that?

Wait, they are feeling bad that he didn't ask them.

Josh looked at them. All of them were pretty and had great shapes.

Especially Robin. Even Marianne was good looking, and with her short

build, she looked really cute.

'Hehe boy…'

Josh put Marianne on the ground, took a deep breath, and used his

lawyer tongue to explain that he didn't tell them that because he respects

them, and even if they were hotter and better looking, he still can't think

of asking them to do that and disturb them.

His words, somehow, provoked emotions drawn on their faces. Robin

didn't seem surprised and only smiled at him, saying that she knew it.

"Fufufufu…." She just let a small laugh at him.

"So, you think I'm attractive." Marianne looked up at his face and said.

Josh lowered his head to see Marianne standing on her toes and looking

at him with her big blue eyes. Someone seemed to be focusing on some

words.

"Of course. I'm a straight man." Josh shrugged his shoulders, looking at

the three women.

Marianne lowered her head as her cheeks turned pink. Opening her arms

wide, she hugged Josh, who felt her flat chest hitting against his stomach,

her stomach rubbing his crotch.

Robin smiled as she stood up next to him. "Well, trust me. A young man

like you doesn't belong to a brothel. It will only ruin you."

She then bent down a bit and placed her lips on Josh's, making him open

his eyes in surprise when the soft lips of hers played with his.

Not being able to resist the mixed feeling of Marianne's soft body and

Robin's smooth lips, he inserted his tongue and let it play inside of Robin,

his body raising in heat.

For many days, there had been sparks between them, and he had finally

got his chance to kiss.

Marianne, who had been closing her eyes and rubbing her head on his

chest, felt something large hit against her stomach, and she opened her

eyes widely, lifting her head to see two long people kissing above her.

Feeling that there is some competition, she pushed her body on his bulge,

making Josh feel softness rubbing against his D as she went up and down

slightly.

Josh pulled his lips, making a *muah* sound, and looked at Robin's eyes.

Thinking a bit, Robin said. "Do you want us to pinch each other on the

chest? Just like the last time."

Josh smiled. "But it would give unfair feelings."

"Fufufu… I know." Robin then opened her lips for him. Josh kissed them

and rubbed his tongue against hers, making themselves feeling their

sexual nerves simulated, before he pulled back.

"I'm a straight woman as well. You can't just expect me to see this and

stay on the side." Melissa smiled at Josh. But seeing two women are

around him, she said. "But your stamina would be drained anyway.

Besides, I don't want to face Mikita's punch again. Have fun you three."

Shrugging her shoulder, she turned and walked away, muttering. "I guess

I have to masturbate."

Melissa showed her interest in taking action with them. But, having a

foursome was too much for one guy. She thought that Josh would be

exhausted before even one has a turn.

Josh didn't care. He should take things slowly.

'So, today is my lucky day… I'll draw on Tuesdays from now on.'

He placed his lips on the brunet woman, kissing her. Since he had

physical talent from the system, Josh had learnt how to be a very good

kisser with Mikita.

Robin closed her eyes and she moaned softly in his mouth, sending a

rippling feeling there.

As Josh was planning to pull back to the breath, he found himself unable

to do so as Marianne seemed to rub his little brother with her soft body.

Just imagine the situation he has between the cutie and the hot Robin.

He almost ejaculated in his place from the heat of the situation, and

Marianne's movements on his crotch only served in making things more

sensitive.

Marianne, who had been doing her best to catch attention, felt her shirt

getting wet on the chest area. Smelling the musky smell, she saw that

Josh seemed to be orgasming and enjoying his time.

Looking down at the source that made her wet, Marianne, who was 16,

could realise what happened, and she let go of Josh's waist as she looked

at his bulge. There was a trace of a snake there, and it released some of

its poison.

Marianne lifted her head. Josh had taken his lips back, and he was

smiling now at Robin.

Josh placed his hand on Marianne's head and rubbed it. Marianne felt

like a little girl, happy that she got her daddy's attention.

"So, what are you suggesting here?" When Josh said that, Robin put her

hand on his shoulder and smiled elegantly.

"I have booked a room in a hotel. Come here, little brother, I'll take care

of you." Said Robin.

"Please, big sis." Josh decided to play the game with her as he let Robin

grab his shoulder.

"Hey, wait for me." Seeing that she was going to be left behind, Marianne

ran after Josh and Robin.

Chapter 49: Chapter 49 (R-18)

18 Chapters ahead at patréon

***

(A/N: This chapter is as long as two chapters. Also the next chapter is the

start of a new volume.)

***

Josh opened his mouth and took a refreshing breath when he entered the

hotel room with Robin and Marianne.

The room was quite large, with a king-sized white bed in the middle.

There was a nice big window on the right side, and the walls were all

white.

"The air here is refreshing," Josh said as he looked around. Nothing is

appealing to him in the desert more than the coldness. And in the

coldness, nothing appeals to him more than a source of heat… Josh

turned to the smiling Robin, whose breasts were bouncing each time her

high heels kicked on the ground.

'A tall woman and a little woman…' Josh, from looking up, looked down.

Seeing Marianne cute features and Robin's sexy wild features, he felt that

he is living some kind of fantasy.

But wasn't that what he came for — Gaining power and living his

fantasies.

Robin cracked her arms and relaxed. Unbuttoning her blouse slightly, she

went to the bed and sat on the edge, saying. "You guys can start first. I

will see how it would go."

"Aren't you going to join?" Marianne, trying to hold her smile that Robin

isn't joining, tried to confirm with a calm face.

Robin nodded. "You are a little woman with a little stamina. Josh would

be done by you very fast. Compared to you, I need more care, Fufufu…"

Marianne blushed slightly. True, she is little and quite insecure about it.

But she never shows it.

Turning to Josh, who had kissed her in past and even came on her chest

this morning, she could only lift her head.

Although he isn't a large man in this world, he was way large for her.

"Please, be gentle," Marianne said as she threw her shoes away.

Reaching to her long pink stockings, she took them off revealing her

short, yet slender full legs, and threw her hat, letting her short hair sway

along the way. Josh only observed her, feeling his cock throb when he

imagined how soft she can be.

Although she was short, she had very nice features, and he couldn't help

but think she would look prettier with his cock on her. Seeing some fear

in her eyes from what he can do to her, Josh assured her.

"Don't worry Marianne. I'm very proficient when it comes to bed."

Josh was honest.

Because of his physical talent, he had learnt a lot about sex and making

his partner reach orgasm quickly. Mikita was crazy about having sex with

him because that each time there is a chance. Maybe that was the reason

she wanted to share him rather than letting him go on her period and

cheat on her back.

"Mm…" Marianne nodded, looking at his crotch, and didn't seem to buy

his words. The 16 years old woman lied in the middle of the bed, only a

short dress covering her smooth soft delicious-looking body.

Josh came above her and lifted the dress slowly, taking her panties down.

Marianne looked straight to his eye and panted. Josh, is going to take

her.

"So, tell me, is it your first time."

Asking, Josh put his hand on her chest, and slowly pulled down the dress,

enough until her bare flat est was revealed. Although her chest was

barely there, it was very soft and so pleasurable to touch.

The cute little woman could only nod, feeling dominated by him with his

body covering hers.

With his hand running on her chest, Marianne had a totally different

feeling. Her nipples got hard all of the sudden. That smooth touch of Josh

has sent a shiver through her spin that her breaths started to almost stop.

"Hmm…" she nodded.

Seeing his face getting closer, Marianne opened her mouth and let Josh

seal her lips with his. When Josh inserted his tongue, Marianne opened

her eyes widely as the tongue was massaging her mouth. Josh was kissing

in a very good way. Marianne felt her mind-tickling, and her pussy

twitched with the exited kisses that Josh was giving.

She had never expected him to be such a good kisser.

Wrapping her arms around his neck, she started kissing him back,

moaning deep in his mouth.

While kissing, Josh's other hand rested on her exposed pussy after

pushing up her dress.

Her pussy, as expected, looked super tight.

Josh believed that it would be one of the tightest sex he is going to have.

After all, it was rare to see a woman who is this much smaller than him

this much in this world.

When Josh middle and index fingers entered, he started massaging her

pussy from inside, pressing on her G spot, which he found immediately.

Marianne's tongue stopped dancing all of the sudden.

"Josh… Ahh~ mmmm."

Her pussy clenched tight all of the sudden as she let a loud moan in his

mouth. The way Josh was massaging her pussy has been developed with

experience and an epic tier talent. Josh had no problem making Marianne

orgasm with his fingers so quickly while he was kissing her.

Marianne twitched in her place. But Josh managed to hold her still. She

could only cum and orgasm in satisfaction.

Next to the bed, Robin was watching the scene with wide-opened eyes,

her hands on her mouth.

She clearly saw how he was doing so well from the start.

'Seems he knows what he is doing.'

Not noticing how she was acting, Robin has already pulled her pants

down. Her long legs now were touching the ground.

Her hand dancing on her long full thigh, Robin found her way to her

crotch. She was just taken by the scene in front of her. Unable to help

herself, she started rubbing against her crotch as she watched how Josh

pulled himself out of the kiss and was now ready for the course.

Getting aware of herself, Robin put her hand on her mouth so she

wouldn't moan. But she was still rubbing her pussy. She closed her eyes,

praying that they don't look at her, or it would be embarrassing to

explain why she is masturbating.

Marianne. The little woman looked up to Josh, panting after having a

strong orgasm that she didn't think she would have.

"You are… this was so good." She Marianne, full of satisfaction as her

body felt limp.

"Not so quick, girl."

Leaning forward, Josh gave her a little kiss on the lips, which made her

close her eyes and insert her little tongue in his.

Standing up to his full high, Josh pulled his pants down, revealing his

huge member.

Because of the moans, his mouth was taking, the feminine scent, not to

mention Marianne's soft delicious body, Josh was already having a huge

boner.

Robin was quite impressive as she looked at the hard shaft.

Marianne, on the other hand, was opening her eyes widely. Robin was 43

cm taller than her and was impressed by the D. Robin didn't see that cock

as big as Marianne would see it.

"Wow… so big…" Marianne's cheeks were turning red. "Can you take it

slow—"

"Hush…" Josh put his index on her lip, shutting her down. "I know what

I'm doing."

Nodding, Marianne just sucked his finger and found that the taste was

strange, and that finger was wet.

Even though that she was shocked that she was licking her own squirt,

she didn't pull back when Josh rested his thumb on her clit, softly

rubbing and making her tasting more pleasure.

Josh took his finger back, stood in front of her, and bend over, his hands

placed next to her head.

"Be ready. I will go slowly and gently…"

Josh leaned and gave her a small kiss, before placing his hand on his D.

Marianne, understanding what to do, lifted her dress a bit, giving Josh an

easier Josh with her little pussy.

Adjusting the angle of the D, Josh put the head on her small slit, and he

has to admit, Marianne's pussy looked so small. Well, the brown-haired

girl was already little. So let alone her virgin little pussy.

Josh then started to thrust slowly.

"Josh… Oh…."

Lifting her head up, Marianne soft body shook with each thrust Josh gave

her. She bit on her lips as she looked at his eyes.

As the little woman she is, Marianne always believed that sex would hurt

her. However, Josh, even though his member was large for her, knew

how to stretch her, and she felt so much pleasure in the process.

Josh, thrusting slowly, could say that he is enjoying slow thrusts now as

well. Marianne's pussy was so tight that he could enjoy taking it slowly.

With the slow thrusts he gives, Marianne would let a soft moan as she

stretches, her pussy clenching tightly and massaging his meat.

Grabbing her cheek — face cheek — Josh decided to tease her. "So, tell

me, how many times you thought about it."

"A lot. Oh… ah…"

"What, I didn't hear you."

"I said—"

Before even Marianne could complete her words, Josh adjusted the angle

of his cock inside of her pussy, and hit her G spot, putting his finger on

her clit and rubbing it while increasing the speed of his thrusts.

Not able to finish her words, Marianne felt that her mind went blank. Her

pussy clenched tight, and she came all around Josh's cock. Marianne

never expected her orgasm to feel this good, not in her first time anyway.

She didn't even expect to orgasm in very few minutes.

"OH…. Daddy!" She screamed loud as she looked up, her face drawing

new facial expressions as she moaned in pleasure.

Her cute soft moans were enough to send rippling feelings to Josh's cock,

as he was about to cum, but could control himself.

Pulling his cock after Marianne released her cum, Josh leaned forward

and kissed her lips.

Marianne looked up to him, smiling, saliva leaving her lips as she was

panting, her face red. "I love you… oh…"

"Me too. Rest well." Josh just rubbed her cheek as he turned to Robin.

Robin was staring at him, eyes widely open. "You made her orgasm this

fast!" Robin blinked twice.

Josh would have said that her words fell on deaf ears.

"Ah…"

Josh seemed to be taken more by the view in front of him.

Robin was so busty woman, and she was wearing only her bras and

panties, which were black. Her panties were pushed to the side, revealing

a shaved red pussy.

Her tits alone were so huge, and more than twice as big as Mikita's. And

Mikita was big. Moreover, the curvy hourglass figure of Robin added

more charm to the view Josh was exposed to.

Josh checked her out and his hard member throbbed in the air. Robin

noticed it and guested to him to come with her finger.

Rising his eyebrow in amusement, Josh stood up from the bed and

walked to her side, Robin looking at his big member with her blue eyes.

"You know, things between you and me are going in different," Robin

said, shifting her gaze to Marianne.

"How exactly?" Josh said. Then he threw an eye to the little Marianne.

She was out quickly. "Maybe you are right."

Robin made an unnoticeable smirk and said. "Marianne is an ordinary

girl. She doesn't have the stamina to fight for a couple of hours."

Robin has incredible stamina. For many days and nights in her life,

without sleeping, she used to run from the navy and some pirates.

Robin held his cock with her hand and started moving it up and down.

Although Robin was a little bigger than Josh, her hand felt small when

holding that cock that was longer than her face.

"Yet you have the stamina for days." Said Josh, half closing his eyes as

Robin's hand was stroking his cock, which was wet from Marianne's

juices.

"You get it," Robin smirked when Josh understood. It's natural since he

knew about her lifestyle.

"I think we will be having more fun then." Josh smiled at Robin, who was

making sure that he stays hard by keeping stroking his cock.

"Let's see." Robin just smiled. Holding the base of his cock with her hand,

she leaned forward and gave the big red head a kiss. To Josh, that felt

like the first kiss as it sent a shiver through his spin. Robin smiled and

took her head back when his member throbbed.

"Oh… someone is excited. Tell he, why does it seem to be too strong."

Feeling that she was working out with his cock, Robin was somehow

amazed. Most people in this world either has strong legs or strong arms.

Josh, however, had each part of his body strong. Even his cock seemed to

have undergone some sort of workout.

"Training." Josh lied. If he has to say, training contributed with 20% of

his power. The rest is the rewards of the system.

"Be gentle, I guess." She said.

"Don't worry."

Josh just smiled, not knowing why these words would be funny to him.

Placing his hands on Robin's shoulders, Josh pushed her on her back on

the bed. As she fell, her big breasts jiggled in an appealing movement,

which took Josh's eyes.

Eating her delicate body with his eyes, Josh leaned forward, placed his

lips on her neck, and he started kissing.

Robin closed her eyes as his lips and tongue were dancing on her smooth

skin.

Josh made his way down as he started kissing her collarbone, before

lowering his head. With each kiss, Robin was becoming more sensitive.

"Josh… this…"

Josh knew exactly what he is doing. He has practised for this moment.

Or, each movement he makes is a practice to him.

Pushing down Robin's bra, one of her big tits popped out. Even when

Josh held it with his hand, he felt full, and there was a lot of soft flesh

left to touch.

Robin only stared at him with her blue eyes, waiting to see if he is really

that good, or Marianne was just too sensitive. The answer came quickly

as Josh opened his mouth and took that nipple in his mouth, making it

hard in no time.

As his tongue was working, Robin's pussy twitched for a second as she

lifted her head and let a soft moan.

*Muah* *Slurp*

Josh knew exactly how to play with them. Robin's thighs clenched

against each other and she put her hand on the back of his head, pushing

him closer to her tits.

She was resisting her urge to moan. But that didn't last as Josh put two

fingers inside of her wet vagina, his thumb on her clit.

While the two fingers entered inside, Josh's thumb massaged her clit.

Robin could only open her eyes widely. "How in the…"

Before she could complete her words, Josh found her G spot with his two

fingers and pressed. Meanwhile, his thumb was doing a really good job

with her clit area, sending her a big surge of pleasure through her spin.

"Oh, God! Oh!"

Before she could even ask how did he get good techniques, Robin

moaned loudly as her brain went numb for a moment.

Her tight vagina walls clenched tightly around his fingers as her pussy

walls twitched and released its liquids, pressing Josh face to sink in her

breast.

Robin was moaning loudly, forgetting her stress and hard life for the

good moment she is within.

When Josh pulled his fingers and head back, looking at Robin, lying

there and panting. She seemed to have a good orgasm.

Josh took his fingers and sniffed them, remembering Robin's scent, which

somehow made him harder.

Marianne, who was lying on her back, turned and looked at Robin. "He's

good, isn't he?" the technique Josh just used wasn't used on Marianne,

which made her wonder.

Robin took a deep breath as she relaxed a bit, turned to Marianne, and

gave a nod, before looking at Josh.

"Wait until you feel it move within you," Marianne said as she leaned up

to her back. "Too bad I'm young and tight. Otherwise…" she leaned on

one pillow and murmured. "I need to work out."

Josh only smiled at her, before turning to Robin, who placed her hands

on his chest.

After pushing Josh to his feet, Robin opened her legs which made M

shape.

"I think I'm ready…"

Robin smirked at Josh as she bit her bottom lip, inviting him for action.

Josh smiled back.

From this angle, her full thigh, perfect hip, and pretty face, all invited

him to bang her.

Kneeling in front of her on the bed, Josh made a fair distance as he

needed to adjust the angle of the dangle.

As Josh placed the tip of the D on her vagina, Robin's pussy twitched, as

if inviting him to enter.

Josh didn't deny the invitation and pushed his D there.

Feeling Robin's pussy walls stretching, Josh lifted his head and pushed

slowly, the angle perfectly aimed. Robin closed her eyes. Since she was so

wet, Josh's member slid in easily. Because Robin wasn't as short as

Marianne, she could take almost all of his shaft inside from the first

insert.

Letting his cock rest there for a bit, Josh grabbed her cheek, feeling her

walls squeezing.

"I think I may going to have it all inside."

Upon hearing his remark, Marianne, who only took half of it, only stared

at his member, while Robin just smirked.

"Be gentle." Said Robin, knowing that Josh is strong physically for her

relatively softer body.

"I know." Josh leaned forward and placed a kiss on her lips, before

moving back, hands placed next to her waist.

Josh started to thrust, while Robin lifted her head as he was hitting her

spot with the right angle.

Soon, moans started to fill the room, along with the mixed scent of the

two women.

"Josh, I'm gonna flood." Declared Robin as she lifted her legs highly, her

pussy getting tighter as she was about to have another orgasm.

Josh kept thrusting and thrusting, trying his best to control his

ejaculation since he didn't want to start babies.

But knowing Robin is smart, it's easy to tell that she has taken pills since

she didn't ask him to not cum in her.

When Robin's floods covered his rod, her moans like a piece of gentle

music to his ears, Josh's balls twitched, and he released a flood from his

rod.

"Oh…." Josh let a relaxing moan, enjoying his post nut clarity.

Robin only covered her face with her forearm and enjoyed the orgasm

and the burning hot semen in her.

Josh took his member out of her pussy, followed by a string of a liquid.

Placing his hand on Robin's face, he asked. "Can you keep going on?"

"Oh… Till the night."

"Better not get late," Josh said, thinking that Mikita may get angry a bit.

"Don't worry." Robin wrapped her legs around his back, pulling him

toward her again.

Mikita, although she was quite upset that Josh had it with two girls

instead of one as she had told him, couldn't really blame him since she

didn't tell him the conditions, or how much.

Josh had survived an execution by snusnu, which was a lesson of tough

love.

It was the only method of execution that Immortal Kaido hasn't tried. But

Josh had.

— Time Skip: 2 months—

Two months have passed.

Josh life, as someone who is in a relationship with three women, was

good.

Though during this time, he barely got a gamble from the system, he was

satisfied with what he has. Or he had a hidden desire to accumulate more
